Mayor Pool stated that the last few large projects coming into the City of Clermont have been developed with 1.7 to 1.9 units per acre which is a very low density.

Upon investigation, we found that not only is the inlet in this area inadequate, but the storm piping from there to its termination in the water retention area north Montrose Street is not adequate to handle the amount of storm water that accumulates in this area. He stated that when we first looked at this project, we had proposed to rebuild the storm inlet and replace this piping and our estimate for this work was $60,000 which was included in this year's budget. Once we commenced the detailed engineering of the project, we found that additional storm drains on the next block north are also inadequate and result in storm water problems in this block. We are proposing to expand the project to include replacement and rebuilding of the storm drains on Montrose Street between 10m Street and 11m Street which feed into the same pipe coming from DeSoto Street. The low bid for this work was received from Gibbs & Register, a Winter Garden Company for $117,854. The other bid received was from Royal Construction in the amount of $166,874.80.
