Members Biddle, MacLauchlin, Mullins and Renick were present, also present were City
Manager Saunders and Finance Director Van Zile. Mayor Turville welcomed those present.

discussion of a possible stormwater grant from Lake County Water Authority.

available through the Lake County Water Authority for stormwater projects.
Various projects were discussed.
Nancy Fullerton was present and expressed her concern over Crystal Lake.
City Manager Saunders stated that the City Engineer and the Public Services Director have been
looking at the improvements in the drainage system that could be made to help protect Crystal
Lake.
After discussion it was the consensus of the Council that the Crystal Lake project would be a
good candidate for the Grant request.
City Manager Saunders stated that he would direct City Engineer Richardson to proceed with the
information necessary for the Grant request and submit the Grant for consideration. He then
stated that the Lake County Water Authority has provided only a 30-day window for applications
to be received. He stated that he felt that by starting immediately the City could meet that time
frame with the necessary information.

property owned by Mr. Ken Norquist as a possible site for a community center.
Mr. Norquist was present and described to the Council the four lots that he owns in the vicinity

Next discussion was regarding the proposed Historic Preservation Ordinance.
Council Member Biddle reviewed the ordinance with the Council.
Mayor Turville asked that each Council Member review the ordinance closely prior to the next
City Council meeting.
City Manager Saunders stated he would provide the ordinance to City Attorney Guthrie and
request that he review it and forward any suggestions before introduction.
The City Council then discussed the concept of a 'Don't Go Dark' Ordinance.
City Manager Saunders stated that rather than an ordinance this type of condition could be placed
on Conditional Use Permits.
Attorney George Hovis was present and discussed with the Council his past experience with this
type of ordinance. Mr. Hovis stated that he felt this could be dealt with as a condition of
Conditional Use Permits.
Mr. Hovis then provided the City Council with an update on the potential uses of the old
hospital. He explained that there are three potential projects that are being discussed, which
includes First United Methodist Church, Diamond Players Club and Dale and Daryl Ladd. He

South Lake Hospital.

Council along with the schedule for implementation of the tiered rate schedule.
City Manager Saunders then discussed with the City Council potential uses for the penny sales
tax, if it is renewed next year. Mr. Saunders stated that the committee working on the
re-implementation of the tax is requesting that all cities provide a list of potential uses. The items
provided by Mr. Saunders to the City Council included funding for a new community center, the
city hall, stormwater and lake enhancement projects, street and sidewalk projects and recreation
and parks projects. It was consensus that this information should be forwarded to the committee.

Petition
We, the undersigned residents of Kingsridge, wish to present to the
appropriate persons our disapproval with the request to change the zoning of
the area north of Kingsridge Boulevard along U. S. Highway 27. We believe
if this is allowed to be changed from o~rofessional to multifamily
use, it will significantly change the safety of the residents of Kingsridge as,
well as detract from the aesthetic beauty of the developrrk, ent as it wa?
originally planned. The addition of seven (7) three story buildings for
multifamily use would create extreme traffic problems to the main egress of
our development. It would impinge on facilities owned and maintained by
the residents of Kingsridge, and finally it would change for the worse the
skyline of one of the higher elevations in the area.
