VISITORS WITH BUSINESS Summit Greens-Levitt Homes Mayor Turville stated that the following issue requires a Quasi-Judicial Hearing be held and that anyone wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the request should be sworn in. Planning Director Barry Brown stated that the applicant is requesting an impervious coverage ratio of 55% per lot as opposed to the 40% per our code on property located on the north side of State Road 50 at the northeast comer of the intersection of State Road 50 and North Hancock Road just west of Greater Hills. Mr. Brown stated that Summit Greens is an age restricted golf course community that was approved as a Planned Unit Development. Mr. Brown stated that the inclusion of the golf course reduces allowable density from 4 units per acre to 1.7 units per acre as well as creating ample additional open space. Mr. Brown stated that smaller than standard lots of 55' by 110' and 65' by 110' were also approved by the PUD. Mr. Brown stated that because of the additional open space created by the golf course, the low density dwelling units, and the smaller lot sizes, Staff believes it can be inferred that the 40% impervious surface limitations were not intended to apply to this development and staff recommends approval. CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page $ Mayor'Turville stated that the original PUD issued by the City of Clermont was issued in February of 1998 and the basic development order is in place and has been for quite some time. Mayor Turville opened the public hearing. City Clerk Van Zile swore in the following citizens: Howard Barry, 439 Carroll Street, Clermont, Florida Mr-.' Condorousis, 1795 Easf Highway 50, Clermont, Florida Harry Sleek, 7777 Glade Road, Boca Raton, Florida Susan Nelson, 14513 Peppermill Trail, Clermont, Florida Harry Sleek, Senior Vice President of Levitt Homes stated that he had believed that if he was developing less than 50% of the permitted density his lot coverage was not an issue. Mr. Sleek stated that in order to build the size home he is building, 40% is a real hardship and he requested the Council's approval to increase the impervious coverage ratio to 55%. Howard Barry asked if there was going to be an increase in the number of homes and Mr. Sleek stated that the CLIP permits 799 homes and there is no request for any increase in the number of homes. Susan Nelson stated she lives in Greater Hills, directly behind the project being built and related that the sand, dirt and dust blowing from the project into her area was creating a major problem. Ms. Nelson stated the citizens living in Greater Hills did not receive a notice that this issue was heard until late Saturday and she requested the Council delay a decision on this issue until more citizens were notified. Mayor Turville closed the public hearing. CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page 6 City Council Member Biddle asked if there was proper notification given to the citizens in the neighborhood and Planning Director Brown stated the notifications went out last week. City Attorney Guthrie stated that the mailed notices are "additional notices" and not required but given as a courtesy. Mayor Turville explained that the set back requirements and lot sizes were determined in 1998 and the number of houses is fixed. Mr. Turville stated that in 1998 the applicants could have requested up to 4 units per acre on this property and instead have only 1.7 units per acre. Mr. Turville stated that he has concerns about impervious surface ratios but this issue is moot based on this type of development because there is more green space than any other development we have in our community. A motion was made by Council Member Lamb, seconded by Council Member Mullins, and carried unanimously by roll call vote to approve the variance request to allow an impervious coverage ratio o_f55% per lot. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Resolution No. l ll4-Kings Ridge Mayor Turville read Resolution No. 1114 by title only. Mayor Turville stated that the following issue requires a Quasi-Judicial Hearing be held and that anyone wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the requests should be sworn in. Planning Director Brown stated the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to amend the existing Kings Ridge Planned Unit Development by increasing the professional office and ,commercial acreage by 12.7 acres and reducing residential acreage by 12.7 acres. Mr. Brown stated the CUP will relocate the C-2 Commercial land use to the comer of U.S. 27 and CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page 7 Hartwood Marsh Road and this was unanimously approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Brown stated that representatives from Lennar Homes and Halverson, the Publix developer, have been meeting with the residents of Kings Ridge over the past several weeks. Mr. Brown stated that the requested changes have been approved by the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council and the Department of Community Affairs. Planning Director Brown stated Staff recommends approval. City Clerk Van Zile swore in the following citizens: Rob Ahrens, 286 South Wymore Road, Altamonte Springs, Florida S~ott Graves, 4218 Chamberlain Way, Clermont, Florida Tom Vincent, 2335 N.W. 97t~ Lane, Coral' Springs, Florida Dwayne Booth, 350 N. Sinclair, Tavares, Florida Mr. Ahrens from Lennar Homes stated that a month ago he requested this issue be tabled in order to have an opportunity to meet with the residents of Kings Ridge and address any concerns they might have. Mr. Ahrens stated that they have met with those residents and have made commitments to the residents. Mr. Ahrens stated this request swaps the 12.7 acres of residential to 12.7 acres of commercial and explained the land mass remains exactly the same, which makes more commercial land with the same amount of square feet, decreasing the intensity of the commercial use from what was originally anticipated. Tom Vincent from Halverson stated he would give a presentation on what is being planned for the new Publix shopping area planned for this property. Mayor Turville stated that everyone is interested in seeing the plan, however he did not believe this testimony was appropriate at this time as it does not relate to this specific issue but to the CUP that will be brought before the Council in the future and City Attorney Guthrie confirmed this. CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page 8 Council Member Lamb stated she did not want there to be any misunderstanding that the demonstration offered for review by Council tonight is in any way being approved by the City Council, as that would be a separate issue to be considered by Council during the conditional use permit process. Tom Vincent stated that they have the presentation ready and have presented it to the residents and to the Planning and Zoning Commission and .would explain the steps they have taken to work with the residents' concerns. Mr. Vincent offered to show the Council a general site plan. Attorney George Hovis stated he would like the City Council to see the presentation because it 'w~' the result of what 200 rezi-dents of Kings Ridge reviewed and worked with'the developer on. Mr. Hovis stated that this work resulted in their being no objections to this plan. Council Member Lamb reiterated that she did not feel that the amendment before Council tonight had anything to do with the CUP that would be coming before the City Council in the future and Planning Director Brown agreed that the shopping center project will have to go through a separate CUP process and the only issue tonight is amendment of the PUD regarding the commercial land use. City Manager Saunders stated that the original PUD had the commercial at the north end of the property and the professional office at the south end of the property. Mr. Saunders stated this amendment will swap the location of these two uses. Mr. Saunders stated that this does not address specific requirements or conditions as it relates to what will happen on that commercial site, but requests that Council approve the area at the comer of Hartwood Marsh and U.S. 27 as the commercial area. Mr. Saunders stated that when the CUP process for the shopping center comes before the Council, that will be the time when the commitments made to residents of Kings Ridge will be addressed. After discussion, each Council Member indicated that the commitments made by representatives of the Publix developers to the residents of Kings Ridge should not be addressed in this PUD amendment, but should be addressed in a CUP for the shopping center itself. CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page 9 Chuck Graves, representing the Whitehall neighborhood residents of Kings Ridge read a statement to the Council supporting the amendment of the PUD and asked that it be attached to the Minutes of the Council meeting and made a part of the record. Attorney George Hovis, representing the residents of Kings Ridge asked that the commitments and agreements made between the Publix developers and the residents be included in the structure of the cUP when it come before the City Council. Mayor Turville closed the Public Hearing. .4 motion was made by Council Member Lamb, seconded by Council Member Mullins, and carried unanimously by roll call vote to adopt Resolution No. 1114. Attorney Hovis stated he wanted the record to indicate their appreciation to the Staff and Planning and Zoning Commission for working with them so closely. Resolution No. 1110 Planning Director Brown stated that this Resolution will adopt the Revised Evaluation and Appraisal Report for the City's Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Brown stated the EAR is a report card on how well we have achieved the objectives that we set for ourselves in our 1991 Comp Plan and also provides an opportunity to address future changes to the Comp Plan that we would like to make. Mr. Brown requested the City Council's approval of the EAR response. Council Member Biddle stated that he had some concerns with some of the language of the response, but felt that the most important issue was to approve this and move the process forward so that the desired changes to the Comprehensive Plan could be made. CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page 10 Mr. Biddle stated there were many things coming up that the City will not be able to do until we get this report to Tallahassee. Council Member Mullins stated this is a living-working document and he agrees that it needs to be approved in order move the process along. Council Member MacLauchlin stated she agreed that there were changes to be made, but felt this response should be approved and forwarded to Tallahassee. Mayor Turville stated he had concerns specifically regarding language associated with ribbon or strip extension of services and facilities down a highway. Mr. Turville stated we inherit that situation and hopefully when we move forward we will be looking for in- fill opportunities and logical development patterns. Council Member Lamb stated three Councils have sat in the time period that this EAR has been amended but stated there were too many things in the report that go against her philosophy. Ms. Lamb stated she felt it could have been made better and the language that bothers her the most is the term "regional urban center", stating that Clermont's goal is to be a regional urban center. Ms. Lamb stated she did not agree with that or believe that was what Clermont wanted its future to be. Ms. Lamb stated there was language stating that the City had no interest in a historical center and that is not true since the Council has been discussing a historical center for a year. Council Member Biddle stated he had some of the same concerns however felt that in order to change the Plan indicating we are interested in having a historical center and make the other changes necessary, we need to file this response and move forward in the process. Mayor Turville stated what we are looking at is a response to the Department's concern about the original submittal and the original submittal was based on the decision of the 1998 Council's approval. Mayor Turville stated that to amend the Comprehensive Plan CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page 11 we need to file this with the Department of Community Affairs. Mr. Turville stated that what the Council is doing now is adopting a submittal in response to the Department's remarks about our original submittal. City Manager Saunders stated that this process has been difficult as there have been 3 different City Councils since this began, there was a different Planning Director in the beginning and we dealt with the Regional Planning Council. Mr. Saunders stated that there are things in the Comp Plan that the Staff does not agree with either, but filing this response will be the quickest way to get to where we want to be and we can then concentrate on doing a full scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment that addresses all of 'the concerns everyone has; Howard Barry stated that he worked on the County's EAR and they had ample staff for the job and stated that the City of Clermont does not have enough Staff to get this job done. Mr. Barry suggested the City hire additional Staff to do the job and Council Member Lamb explained that the City brought the Regional Planning Council in the assist. Charles Forth stated he was one of the ones on the Planning and Zoning Commission that opposed the resolution. Mr. Forth stated one concern was the identification of the well fields and drinking water. Mr. Forth stated that the City still has not identified any well fields. Mr. Forth stated that that the City and St. Johns Water Management has everything east of Clermont on both sides of Highway 50 constitutes the recharge area of the Central Region and he feels the recharge is very detrimental to the quality of life in Clermont. Mr. Forth stated he has an issue regarding roads. Mr. Forth stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council have a responsibility to let the citizens of Clermont get what they are paying for and stated he also cannot support the language in the report regarding roads.

Mr. Saunders stated the City negotiated a contract with Boyle and have agreed on a lump sum fee of $480,000.00 for the design and permitting of the Plant, which amounts to approximately 7.4% of an estimated six and one half million-dollar project. Mr. Saunders stated fees have been negotiated for both the construction phase and the design and permitting phase of the Contract. Mr. Saunders stated that Staff is recommending approval of the Agreement with the text modifications that City Engineer Richardson would review with the City Council. 7'9 CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page 13 City Engineer Tamara Richardson reviewed those text changes in the Contract and stated that on Page 5 of 9 of the Agreement, regarding the "Construction Phase Services" we negotiated a fee of $286,415.00 and for "O & M Services" we negotiated a fee $48,595.00. Ms. Richardson stated that City Attorney Guthrie had approved the Agreement. Mr. Saunders stated that he reviewed the range of fee schedules provided by the State Department of General Services; the EPA publication for each region, along with the national averages and found that Boyle's fee is within the acceptable range for this size project and the Staff feels very comfortable with the figures negotiated. City Attorney Guthrie confirmed he reviewed the contract and Boyle conceded those issues raised. City Manager Saunders stated that this will increase our sewage treatment facility on Hancock Road to two million gallons of capacity. Mr. Saunders stated it will be total re-use. A motion was made by Council Member Mullins, seconded by Council Member Biddle, and carried unanimously, to accept the Amended Agreement for professional services with Boyle Engineering. City Manager Saunders stated that City Engineer Tamara Richardson put a tremendous amount of effort into this Agreement and he expressed his thanks for the good job. Bid Award-Hancock Park Recreation Area City Manager Saunders stated the City received 3 different grants for the Hancock Park Recreation Area. Mr. Saunders stated the recreation area includes 5 softball fields, 2 soccer fields, 2 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, a picnic area and playground. Mr. Saunders stated that St. Johns Water Management wanted the entire site incorporated into a single storm water permit and although the grants received are for specific features in the site, we have a method CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2000 Page 14 where we can accomplish a lot of the park by stretching this over the current fiscal year and upcoming fiscal year that will start in October. Mr. Saunders stated that with the grant funds we have available and by using recreation fee reserves and a portion of the recreation impact fees that will be budgeted in the next year we will be able to move ahead and do all of the site work and underground work for the entire project and meet our grant responsibilities. Mr. Saunders stated that funds for the underground utilities could come from an allocation from water and sewer reserves and funds could come .from an appropriation of infrastructure fund reserves for the additional paving. Mr. Saunders stated that by next spring the City should have most of the park ready for use. Mr. Saunders requested the Council approve the low bid plus the altemates and award the contract to Prime Construction, and also approve the allocations and with the'commitment of the other funds. · A motion was made by Council Member Lamb, seconded bY Council Member MacLauchlin, and carried unanimousl_¥, to approve the base bid plus Alternates One and Two for a total of $583, 794.10 and award the bid to Prime Construction, and approve the allocation Of $77,385.00 from the water and sewer reserves to fund the utili~ improvements and approve an appropriation of $4 7,4OO from the infrastructure fund_for the additional paving. ..07 CITIZENS' COMMENTS Mayor Turville invited any citizens who wished to speak to the City Council to do so.

February 18, 2000 Clermont City Council City HaH 1 Westgate Plaza Clermont, FL 34711 Dear Council Members: I am in favor of the exchange of zoning of the out parcels in the Kings Ridge Development as proposed by the developer, and the location of a Public store at the intersection of State Road 27 and Hartwood Marsh Road. I can understand the concerns of some of the home owners in the Whitehall section. I have reviewed the things that the developer has proposed to address those concerns, and in my opinion they are adequate to protect the home owners fi.om the concerns they have expressed about a Publix store ocuppying a portion of the site. Most of the residents of the Kings Ridge development are relatively young retirees. As the population ages, there will be more and more residents that will be unable to drive automobiles and will need some method of obtaining groceries and other needs. The proposed location of Publix will enable them to reach a shopping area by golf cart which will allow them to be self-sufficient. We have only been here a few months and already find it difficult to go all the way into Clermont for everything. The traffic on SR 27 is already very high and will only get greater. We aH knew when we purchased homes here that land aH around us would eventually be developed. We certainly should not expect the owners of the farm land to keep up the land and pay taxes on it for our enjoyment. The stores are coming whether we like it or not. I believe that the present proposal of the developer is best for our community. Thank You, Floyd W. McCollum, Sr. 2107 St. Ives Court Clermont, FL 34711 Petition for Publics at Kings Ridge Originals to the City Council. Copies to the P.&G.
