MAYOR POOL'S REPORT VETERANS' PARK Mayor Pool stated that he did not have a report as such, but would like to read the Proclamation he had read earlier in the day. He then read the Proclamation which dedicated the park located on the northwest side of Crystal Lake to all of Clermont's Veterans. VISITORS WITH BUSINESS ROY GROSE - LAUNDRY FOR THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT Mr. Roy Grose appeared before Council to discuss the laundry he wants to install in a building he owns at 787 West Montrose Street in the Central Business District. Mr, Grose displ~yed a site plan showing 10 parking spaces located to the rear of the building. He explained that the spaces would be paved and adequately serve the proposed business. Patrons of the laundry would be directed by the attendant on duty to park in the rear of the building. Accordingly, this measure would alleviate the Council's concern that a laundry in the Central Business would take up much of the parking spaces available on Montrose Street. Mr. Grose then asked that the Council allow him to place a laundry in his building which is already zoned C-2, He presented Council with a petition signed by ninety-two citizens favoring a laundry in downtown Clermont. . . CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING November 11, 1986 Page -3- Mr. Grose was asked how many machines would be in service, and he stated that there would be twen~y-four regular washing machines, four large machines and fifteen driers. Council Member Turville explained the Council's concerns that due to the nature of the business, a laundry located downtown would occupy much of the available parking space. Mr. Turville went on to explain that park- ing had always been a problem downtown, ,and a laundry would only serve to intensify the situation. Because of this, during the October 14, 1986, Council Meeting, the Council passed a motion that City Staff would not issue any permits for downtown Clermont that would adversely affect the parking problem that already exists. The motion also directed the City Staff to draft an ordinance which would address this problem. City Manager Saunders explained that under the proposed ordinance re- vision to be introduced tonight, Mr. Grose would have to apply for a Conditional Use Permit in order to place the laundry in the Central Business District. Council Member Dupee expressed her concern that the large trucks making deliveries to Hanks Electric, the South Lake Press and Bishop's Paint would block the ten parking spaces behind the building. Much discussion ensued concerning the existing parking problems with many suggestions being made to solve them. After this discussion, Mr. Grose thanked the Council for their time, and stated that he would apply for a Conditional Use Permit. UNFINISHED BUSINESS BOB ZAHRADNIK - VARIANCE REQUESTS FOR PROPOSED CRYSTAL LAKE SUBDIVISION This request had been tabled during the October 28, 1986 Council Meet- ing. At that time Mr. Zahradnik was asked to revise the site plan to show the street repositioned so as not to abut Claud~ Smoak's property to the north. Mr. Zahradnik, representing William Favuzza developer of the proposed Crystal Lake Subdivision, appeared before Council and presented each Council Member with a revised site plan. Mr. Zahradnik stated that he was requesting variances to the subdivision ordinance to allow a 40' right-of-way where 60 feet is required for "minor streets" and to allow a dead end street. As discussed during the previous Council Meeting, an additional 10 foot easement will be platted. Upon viewing the revised site plan, it was pointed out that Mr. Zahradnik would need a third variance to the subdivision ordinance because Lot 6 did not meet the street frontage requirements. As presented, the proposed dead end street stops approximately 26 feet in front of Lot 6. If the street was extended the full width of Lot 6, no street frontage variance would be needed. Some discussion ensued concerning the advertised requests and, the third variance request concerning the street frontage requirement. City Attorney Baird stated that the third variance, if it was needed, could be handled during the final plat approval, and the others could be granted tonight. . .

INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE 248-C City Manager Saunders explained that Ordinance 248-C would amend certain zoning regulations and clarify several areas in the exist- ing ordinance. Of the twenty proposed amendments, the most significant would be the creation of the R-3A zoning district and more stringent water retention requirements.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - BETWEEN THE CLERMONT POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE MULTI-AGENCY DRUG TASK FORCE City Manager Saunders explained that in order to deal more e"ffectively with criminal activities in Lake County and surrounding areas, a multi- agency task force had been established to provide assistance or conduct investigations. Some of the County's larger departments have supplied fulltime officers to the task force, but Clermont's involvement would ,be on an as needed, voluntary basis for specific operations with Clermont's officers remaining on the City payroll.
