or they request to address the Council in a workshop, they do that immediately. If

COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN'S REPORT
Lake County League of Cities
Council Member Brown reported that the Lake County League of Cities will be sending
out a survey to each city so that the citizens can be informed how each City spends the
gas tax money received.
Development
Council Member Brown stated he gets lots of questions from citizens and hasn't been
able to answer them because he hasn't been informed how City officials will be
handling the increase in population and development. He stated they are concerned that
the quality of life will be changed from what they know today and they want to know
what the City and community will look like 5-10 years from now and if we can handle
it and what we are doing to assure that we won't be overrun by the new growth.
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. If
developments are high-impact/high-density projects, they will have a much greater
impact to the community than a lower density. He stated that the City allows the use of
golf courses as part of the green space formula. The City has made provisions for
adequate w~tter, police, fire, sewer and recreational amenities. A Future Land Use
Map and Comprehensive Plan was developed several years ago and he suggested
reviewing them in a workshop.

Community Development Block Grant
Fred Fox, Administrator for the Community Development Block Grant opened the
public hearing for a budget amendment for the demolition of two houses which was
approved by the Citizens Advisory Task Force. The original budget included $3,000
and the low bid for demolition of both homes is $11,305. A second budget amendment
is required because the original budget for temporary relocation included $15,000
which includes moving and storage of furniture, and this will need to be increased to
$35,000. The third budget amendment is for the $60,000 Permanent Relocation which
was computed based on two 800 square foot replacement homes. The City does not
allow anything smaller than 1,000 square feet, and the budget amendment will increase
this item to $67,000. These funds will reduce the Housing Rehabilitation Fund from
$441,000 to $405,695. SHIP funds for 10 homes has been received from the County
$131,506 and they are expected to contribute on two more homes in the amount of
$10,000.

were very limited in positioning the sign and where they are asking to locate it will
require a 5' variance request. Rob Berens stated the variance will make the traffic flow
much easier in and out of the bank.
City Manager Saunders stated that in order to meet the 12' setback, the curbing would
need to be revised which would conflict with the last lane for the bank. No objections

Permit for the development. Alternatives for this variance would be a two-story
building with a pitched roof or provide a flat roof on a three-story building. City
Manager Saunders stated that the staff is not opposed to this variance for any technical
reasons. Should the Council be inclined to grant this type of a variance, City Manager
Saunders proposed that upcoming revisions to our Land Development Regulations
would address the height for certain structures since the granting of this variance would
set a precedence for future requests.

between 10~h Street and 12m Street. 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. The storm drain project for the Central Business District
which has already been awarded came in considerably under budget which can provide
the additional dollars needed to fund this improvement. The City Engineer and staff
recommend approval of the low bid of Gibbs & Register.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Charlene Forthe addressed the Council asking why her husband had been omitted from
the list being considered for the Lincoln Park Task Force stating that she felt it was
deliberate. Mrs. Forthe was assured that the appointment had been made and
apologized for the oversight.
Kristine Sette asked that her lake be cleaned up in the Edgewood Lake Subdivision.
City Manager Saunders stated that there is no program for cleaning lakes except for
Center Lake or the downtown lakes. The majority of Edgewood Lake is in the city
limits of Minneola, however, we do use prison crews when they are available for this
work. She also stated she called Jeff Jones regarding cleaning and mowing the lots on
Brooke Court.
There being no further business or discussion, the meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
