Hwy. 50, Clermont.

of using the home at 1402 Emerald Lakes Drive for a residence and a beauty shop.
City Manager Saunders stated that the property is located immediately west of the
Emerald Lakes Plaza and in the northeast corner of the Emerald Lakes Mobile Home
Park. The property is zoned C-2 General Commercial and has been used in the past
for various uses, including a radio station, congregate care living facility, combination
residence and beauty parlor, and most recently a combination residence and pet
grooming business. The proposed use is consistent with our C-2 zoning as a
Conditional Use and does not conflict with the Future Land Use Map for this area.

Crittenden Agreement
City Manager Saunders stated that the applicants have requested annexation of
approximately 10 acres of property located east of the recently developed North Ridge
Subdivision. The agreement stipulates that the City will annex the property and
rezone the property to R-1 single family, however, the applicants will agree to meet
all R-1-A zoning district regulations except for the minimum lot width which is 100'
for R-1-A and 75' for R-1. This will be consistent with the adjoining North Ridge
Subdivision and will provide minimum 10,000 square foot lots, but with the ability to
plat the lots with less than 100' lot width. Staff recommends approval of this
agreement.

Final Reading of Ordinance 303-M
City Manager Saunders stated that Ordinance 303-M will rezone approximately 10
acres annexed in Ordinance 302-M, (Tract 29 of Lake Highlands Subdivision) from
UE Urban Estate to R-1 Residential. Mayor Pro Tem Norquist stated that the request
requires that a Quasi-Judicial hearing be held and that anyone wishing to speak in
favor of or in opposition to the request must be sworn in. Elaine Vick, 222 Main
Street, Groveland was sworn in by Deputy City Clerk Whitlock. Mayor Pro Tem
Norquist read Ordinance 303-M by title only.
Elaine Vick asked that the property be rezoned from UE to R-1.
City Manager Saunders stated that the agreement entered into previous to the
annexation places the same restrictions on the lots within this R-1 area that were
imposed on the North Ridge Subdivision which joins this property to the west. The
R-1 minimum lot size is 7,500 square feet with a 75' minimum lot width and 25'
setback. The restrictions would require a minimum 10,000 square foot lot and a
minimum lot width of 80' which is a compromise between the R-1 and R-lA districts
and would be in keeping with the platted subdivision to the west. He stated that the
Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval of the rezoning.
