Waterfront Park -Swim Area
City Manager Saunders stated that Council Member Hogan requested that Council consider requesting the
City apply for a variance to re-open the beach for swimming. A visibility requirement of 48 inches is
necessary to open the beach for swimming without a variance, but this has not occurred. The visibility is
improving and on Monday, May 21, 2007 the visibility reading was 41 '/2 inches. City Manager Saunders
provided pictures of what the water level and beach area are currently. The two issues the City face are
visibility and the swim area depth of only 4 '/z feet. The State will be meeting with the City next week
and will have the necessary information to move forward with the variance request should Council desire.
Mayor Turville expressed concern about the inability to see the bottom to determine the water depth at
the end of the dock and desired to have part of the discussion include lifeguards. City Manage: Saunders
stated that there had been problems in the past finding lifeguards and suggested Council decide on
whether to proceed with a request for variance and then have staff provide Council with a plan and
discuss the decision on whether to re-open or not.
Council Member Goodgame requested what the filing fee was. City Manager Saunders indicated that it
was nominal.
Mayor Turville expressed concern on beach contours and felt we need to know this for safety. City
Manager Saunders stated that the Fire Department has a dive team and he had planned to request they
perform a training exercise and report on the conditions and contours of the beach area.
Council Member Hogan stated that the water discoloration was partially due to cypress trees that were
knocked down during past hurricanes and waters from other lakes in the chain also add to the visibility
decline.
Council Member Hogan moved to apply for the variance to re-open the beach for
swimming; seconded by Council Member Goodgame•
Mayor Turville opened the public hearing.
Chase Forth, 939 West Desoto Street, spoke in favor of re-opening the beach for swimming, with safety
precautions in place.
Mayor Turville closed the public hearing.
The motion passed with all those present voting "aye".

researched. Mayor Turville commented that this had been researched and liability was too great.

Jim Hitt, Planning Director, presented the rezoning request. The location of the project is north of Old
State Road 50, south of the turnpike and west of Lake Boulevard; which is north of Plaza Collina. The
requested change is from Agriculture to PUD and contains 28.4 acres. The use would be for a mixed use
development of 30 single family residential homes and 58 residential town homes. Staff concerns include
school impact, inconsistencies in the traffic study and concern regarding the Lake County Comp Plan has
not been submitted to DCA in its entirety for review. Staff recommendation is for denial.

Lake County did not have a process in place regarding school concurrency and this has been deferred
until the preliminary plat review.
Mayor Turville opened the public hearing.
Jim Purvis, 4206 Hammersmith Drive, requested that the project consider providing the City space for a
fire station or other City project.
Bob Bowman, Magnolia Pointe, expressed concern regarding lack of demand for this type of project and
the uncertainty regarding Plaza Collina.
Mayor Turville closed the public hearing.
Council Member Berlinsky asked if consideration had been given to restricting the community to an over
age 55 community to remove the school concurrency issue. John Avion, Project Engineer, stated that this
had been researched but the developer desired to have more flexibility with the project.
Council Member Mullins stated that many of the set backs were not close to Clermont standards. John
Avion, Project Engineer, indicated willingness to work with the City.
Council Member Goodgame mentioned the 25 foot landscape barrier and asked what the property set
back was. John Avion, Project Engineer, stated that it was the same. It was commented that this
essentially created zero lot lines.
Council Member Goodgame recommended fencing the entire property for security reasons and requested
where the development planning to receive water and sewer services. John Avion, Project Engineer,
stated that the plan was to obtain those services from the City and explained that he had been the engineer
for the Plaza Collina project.
