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.

Mayor'Turville stated that the original PUD issued by the City of Clermont was issued in

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
