MAYOR POOL'S REPORT

DOWNTOWN PARKING PROBLEM
Mayor Pool stated that there had been complaints of a downtown
merchant abusing the on-street parking privilege in front of his
own and another place of business.
Council Member Huff stated that the City should request that the
merchants park in the rear of their stores leaving the on-street
spaces open for customers.
Some discussion ensued and it was pointed out that off-street parking
was provided for tennants living above downtown stores.
City Manager Forbes stated that the Chamber of Commerce might be able
to convince the downtown merchants to agree to park behind the stores.
He also stated that one hour parking signs might become necessary.
After some discussion on various ways to handle the problem, the
City Attorney was directed to write a letter to the offender.
VISITORS WITH BUSINESS
FRED SOMMER - TRIATHLON REPORT
Fred Sommer appeared before Council to request a loan of $1,500 for
the Great Clermont Triathlon. Mr. Sommer explained that the Tri-
athlon Committee had only been able to raise $275 from various fund
raisers and asked for the $1,500 loan which would be paid back with
interest early next year. The Race Committee has approached several
companies to be sponsors.
A letter was given each Council Member which explained a proposed 10 K
race which would be held in May and use Minnehaha Avenue as part of the
course. City Manager Forbes stated that Mr. Sommer should check with
him regarding the traffic on Minnehaha before finalizing the race plans.
Mayor Pool asked City Attorney Baird for an opinion on granting the
Triathlon Committee a loan, and Mr. Baird stated that the City could give
the Race Committee a grant with a stipulation to pay it back, if possible.
He further stated that a grant was a better method than a loan, since the
City technically does not make loans.
Council Member Turville stated that he felt the committee should
be concerned with present debts, not future races. He further
stated that before he would consider loaning any money, he would
like to review the Triathlon's books. Council Member Huff concurred
with Mr. Turville.

LEASE AGREEMENT FOR PART OF LOWER LEVEL OF CITY HALL
Mrs. Stephen (Sally) Lee appeared before Council requesting to
lease the two front offices (with kitchen and restroom privileges)
of the lower level of City Hall for $176 per month plus utilities.
City Manager Forbes stated that the Leasee would be responsible for
the renovations necessary to block off a hallway in order to make
this type of arrangement work.
84-205 A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER TURVILLE AND SECONDED BY COUNCIL
MEMBER COLE TO ACCEPT MRS. LEE'S OFFER TO LEASE THE TWO FRONT
OFFICES (WITH KITCHEN AND RESTROOM PRIVILEGES) FOR $176 PER MONTH
PLUS UTILITIES.
At this point, Mr. Lee stated that he would like, due to the limited
number of parking spaces for the lower level, to have two guaranteed
parking spaces made part of the lease agreement; and the Council
agreed to this request.
Council Member Cole then withdrew his second and Council Member
Turville withdrew the previous motion.

JOHN SARGENT - LAKE APOPKA NATURAL GAS DISTRICT
As the City of Clermont's representative on the Board of Directors
of the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District, Mr. Sargent presented
each Council Member with a copy of the district's year end report.
A copy of this report is attached and made part of the permanent
record.
Mr. Sargent stated that bonding for the district should be covered
by September 30, 1986. In spite of an increase of 389 new customers,
revenues for the year decreased $419,150, due to a decrease in usage
by large citrus and commercial accounts.
A district check in the amount of $54,834.29 and franchise and utility
payments of $22,849.84 were given to the City during the past year.
This reflects an increase of $1,901.37 in franchise and utility pay-
ments.
In conclusion, Council Members were urged to help the district find
leads for new customers for Lake County, thus influencing the
rolling formula for equitable distribution of funds between the
three participating cities in Clermont's favor.
RESOLUTION NO. 487 -BOB WADE, CUP REQUEST FOR MINING & EXCAVATING
Mr. Wade appeared before Council to request a Conditional Use Permit
~o allow the mining and excavating of clay from property he owns which
1S zoned R-l-A and is located north of Highway 50 between Jack's Lake
and the eastern City Limits.

Mr. Wade stated that they wished to make the property more usable for
a developer who is interested in building a twelve million dollar
congregate living center there. The property would be regraded to a
1:3 ratio with the work taking approximately six months.
Council Member Turville then asked City Manager Forbes to explain
what was going on with the property and to bring the Council up
to date. It was explained that because Mr. Wade believes he has
a potential developer for the property, he considers the request to
mine and excavate in order because the work is necessary for the future
development. (In November the Council denied a similar request for clay
excavation on the same site after the Planning and Zoning Commission had
recommended approval).
Mr. Forbes continued and explained that at its December 4, 1984
meeting, the P&Z by a 4-2 vote recommended denial of this CUP re-
quest because it is basically the same as the previous request and
needs a more detailed plan.
Mayor Pool stated that he believed that Mr. Wade should be allowed to
excavate the property as it is zoned in preparation for future development,
and Council Member Cole concurred with him in this matter.
Council Member Turville stated that he believed the future development
of the property should not be a consideration of the Council. Only
the request for excavation and mining in an R-l-A Zone as stated in
the Resolution should be the Council's concern.
Council Member Huff stated that he was not sure the property was really
R-l-A because he believed that in two years it would be commercially
developed due to the fact that all surrounding property is Commercial,
and no R-l-A property from Twelfth Street to Highway 27 abuts Commercial
property on Highway 50.
Council Member Turville then stated that, however, the property is zoned
R-l-A and mining is not even a conditional use in that zone. He concluded
by stating that the problem is deciding what is site work vs. an industrial
opertion in a R-l-A zone. He ended by stating that he believed the Council
should not even be considering this request.
Mayor Pool then called for comments from those present in the audience.
Mr. Steve Batchelor reiterated his previous statments concerning his
opposition to the request, including the petition with thirteen names
of residents living on Grand Highway opposing the mining operation.
Mr. Batchelor also questioned the timetable for allowing Mr. Wade to
reapply for the same kind of CUP.
Mr. Buck Evans, a Member of the Planning and Zoning Commission,
stated that he believed that Mr. Wade was making the same request
that was previously denied and that the operation is nothing more
than a strip mine in a R-l-A zone. He further stated that a PUD
was need before any excavation could begin.
Ben Blackburn who was present in the audience stated that the P&Z
had requested to see conceptual plans to clarify the request, and
because there were no plans, they voted to deny it. A set of plans
would cost 10% of the total project and this is not a reasonable
request.

Bob Ray stated that the area in question was in transition or
evolving, and before any decisions are made a plan for the entire
property should be before the Council. A piecemeal approach should
be avoided.
Council Member Turville reitterated his previous statements regarding
a mining operation in a R-l-A zone and asked if the same request
would be honored in other R-l-A areas of the City. He concluded by
stating that he would like to see a PUD application and not allow
any mining operation in the City.
After some further discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER
TURVILLE TO DENY THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST BECAUSE MINING
WAS NOT A DESIRABLE USE IN THE AREA.
This motion died for lack of a second.
A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER HUFF AND SECONDED BY COUNCIL
MEMBER COLE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 487 GRANTING MR. WADE A CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT TO DO SITE PREPARATION WORK TO MAKE HIS PROPERTY MORE USABLE.

ERTY LINE.
This motion died for lack of a second.

HUFF, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER COLE AND CARRIED BY A THREE TO TWO VOTE
WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS HENRY AND TURVILLE VOTING NAY, TO STRIKE THE LAST
SENTENCE FROM CONDITION NUMBER FOUR AND USE THE SITE PLAN AS PRESENTED
FOR THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.
Under discussion, Mr. William Carrier asked where the excavation would
take place relative to his property on the north and east sides of the
Wade property. He was told by Mr. Wade that no excavation would occur
on these sides of the property.
Mr. Batchelor stated that he would like a 100' buffer before the clay
pit begins, and he was told the Walton Subdivision line is the correct
property line. Mr. Batchelor also stated that he wanted Mr. Wade to
be required to obtain a performance bond before the work could begin.
City Attorney Baird stated that if Mr. Wade did not comply with the
Conditional Use Permit, an injunction could be obtained from the
Circuit Court and he could be brought before the Code Enforcement
Board.
84--207 Council Member Huff called for the question, and THE MOTION AS AMENDED
CARRIED BY A THREE TO TWO ROLL CALL VOTE WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS HENRY
AND TURVILLE VOTING NAY. THE RESOLUTION WAS READ BY TITLE ONLY. THE
FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE RESOLUTION:

EXCAVATION
Mayor Pool reported that Mr. VanderMeer had requested a CUP to excavate
and mine property located at the southeast corner of Highway 50 and Grand
Highway. Otto Koppius owns most of the property, however, a small portion
is owned by Bob Wade. It is zoned C-2 General Commercial.
Mr. Tim VanderMeer appeared before Council and stated that he wished to
excavate the property so that it will be 1 to 2 feet above grade on Highway
50 and about 8 feet below grade on Grand Highway. He further stated that
there would be no construction at this time, but the owner wanted to make
the property more saleable.
It was further reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission at its
December 4, 1984 Meeting unanimously recommended approval of the request,
with changes which were incorporated into the Resolution.
Mayor Pool then requested comments from those present in the audience,
and no one spoke for or against the request.
Jay VanderMeer suggested that Condition #5 be changed to allow a
registered surveyor, instead of a registered engineer, certify that
the final reclamation plan and all conditions of the permit have
been met.
After some discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER HUFF,
SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HENRY AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED TO CHANGE
THE SECOND SENTENCE IN CONDITION NUMBER FIVE TO "A REGISTERED SUR-
VEYOR SHALL CERTIFY TO THE CITY THAT THE FINAL RECLAMATION PLAN AND
ALL CONDITIONS OF THIS PERMIT HAVE BEEN MET WITHIN TWENTY (20) MONTHS
OF THE DATE OF THIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
City Manager Forbes questioned the slope on the west side of the property
off of Grand Highwayback to the Wade property, and asked if it was pos-
sible to have an access driveway off of Grand Highway with the slope, and
it was determined that this would be possible.
After a brief discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER HUFF,
SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HENRY AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED TO AMEND
