FUTURE LAND USE DISTRICT: Undeveloped District - 2 (UD-2)
FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION: Commercial
Planning Director Jim Hitt stated the request is for a Conditional Use Permit for a commercial
Planned Unit Development with 182,954 square feet, which includes an anchor building that is
119,603 sq. ft. and six retail buildings. There are also six out parcels for various restaurants and
similar commercial uses along U.S. 27, and a gas station/ convenience store associated with the
anchor building.
Access to the development includes two access points off U.S. 27 and two access points off
Steve's Road (one being a full cut). The connector road coming from Citrus Tower up to Steve's
Road will also have three access points.
The applicant will also be requesting two variances which include the following:
• Cut and fill in excess of 15 feet.
• One building over 100,000 sq. ft.
With the recent commercial growth within the area, staff believes this area is appropriate for this
type of development and recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow a Planned
Unit Development including a shopping center at the proposed location.

Meeting discussion:
Borron Owen with Gray Robinson Law Firm, 301 E. Pine St. Suite 1400 Orlando, is representing
KMH, Kathy Hillary and Scott Gentry with KCG. He stated they are supportive of the Staff
report along with all the conditions set for the project.
Scott Gentry, 1700 N. Orange Ave. Orlando, did a presentation of Clermont Crossing site plan.
Commissioner Ash stated if anyone drives down Highway 27 you can see that sod is not a good
product for slopes because it washes away. She would like to see included in the conditions a
ground cover other than sod.
Mr. Owen stated he is not a landscape architect so he would not know what other vegetation
would be better.
Commissioner Jones stated they needed to be careful on what recommendation they make
because then they are acting as experts and if they have serious problems they will come back to
the City.
Chairman Pape stated that since they do not have the knowledge of what other vegetation could
be used he would not ask them to respond and would direct this issue more towards Mr. Hitt to
come up with an alternative.
Mr. Owen asked if this means sod is excluded or is staff directed to consider alternative ground
cover..
Chairman Pape stated that if they move forward with a recommendation for approval for the
project, that they would include in the motion that staff would be directed to find some other
ground cover besides sod.
Commissioner Holzman stated he has walked the property and is concerned they would have to
do some extensive grading cut and fill. He feels the City does not need another large box retail
store in this area.
Commissioner Treadwell expressed concern about the traffic pattern and wanted to know if an
evaluation had been done to evaluate the number access points to Highway 27 that are not
controlled by traffic signals.
Mr. Owen stated this issue has been covered in the staff report and staff has made
recommendations concerning the access paints to Highway 27. He stated they were in
agreement with the recommendations.

Commissioner Outlaw asked if the light that will be located at Steve's Road would be the full
responsibility to the developer.
Mr. Owen stated that KMH will be responsible for the installation of the traffic light.
Chairman Pape stated he is concerned with the overdevelopment of retail space. He has issues
with the six parcels along Highway 27. He fears that if they don't stop allowing the development
then this portion of Highway 27 is going to look a lot like S.R. 50. He stated there is no more
view in Clermont-it is all a matter of out parcels past Hancock Road into Clermont which breeds
congestion, distraction and difficulty for the aging population. Putting three more cuts in along
with six out parcels will create more distraction. He said this is not a workable plan.
Mr. Hitt stated that the right-of--way along Highway 27 is FDOT's so any alterations other than
sod would have to be approved by FDOT.
Commissioner Ash asked Mr. Hitt what size business (square footage) will be at each outparcel.
Mr. Hitt stated they would be anywhere from 3,000 to 8,000 square feet.
Commissioner Ash asked what type of businesses.
Mr. Hitt stated small restaurants, banks and small retail outlets.
Commissioner Ash asked that if the parcel sizes were doubled, what types of businesses would
be enabled with larger parcels.
Mr. Hitt stated that would be something the applicant in working with the different retailers
could look at and combine some of the parcels.
Mr. Gentry spoke about terracing. He said it works well to have multiple users along the road so
you can create the terracing effect verses trying to put larger buildings along Highway 27. These
parcels will terrace down about ten feet apiece so there will be about a hundred feet of nice
terracing. He feels in the after scenario you will see more of a grade change then you would
before because you will be able to see the uses terracing up and will have six foot walls in
between. He feels the eighteen foot walls they have seen are not attractive, so they are staying
with the six foot walls and the landscape buffer. They will use more space to do that but it will
make for a more attractive site.
Commissioner Treadwell asked what would be the maximum slope they will be predicting for
the site.

Mr. Gentry stated 4% is what they worked out with staff for the maximum but typically 3% is
where retailers like to be.
Commissioner Banzhaf stated that when you hit Hancock Road you know you are in Clermont
because you see buildings. This is not where the City wants to go. He said he likes the tree-
lined site as portrayed in the site plan, but questioned whether it would actually look that way.
Mr. Hitt stated that it will not look like the picture straight away, but after a couple years of
growth it will be close.
Commissioner Jones asked what could possibly be the alternative should the City turn the project
down. The owner could conceivably have an option of carving up that site into ten or fifteen
commercial plots then the City would have something worse. Then you would have separate
owners coming forward with projects.
Chairman Pape stated that they are saying the same thing because the six out parcels can be sold.
Commissioner Jones stated he understood but you are talking about only a few pieces.
Chairman Pape stated he is talking about six along Highway 27 and then a back road behind
there and whether it can carry that traffic or not is yet to be seen. He said they are being asked to
ratify something that they don't know enough about to determine if that is an adequate traffic use
or if it is going to be a distraction. He said this is not S.R. 50 it is Highway 27 which is a major
state road with large trucks and other traffic going through at 55 mph. You mix Kings Ridge
below it and the people trying to get to and from town there. Then you have a mix of people
driving fast and folks on local errands.
Commissioner Ash asked if limiting access points makes a difference.
Mr. Gentry stated they met with FDOT and they agree with the three access points.
Chairman Pape stated he is just not happy with the parcels along Highway 27. If they were cut
in half or buffered a little better he would feel better about it. You have Tuscany Village going in
on the west side which will be 400,000 square feet of retail going in there. Across the road there
will be more retail coming in. On the east there is more retail approved. He said we have more
retail on Hancock Road and office buildings as well as more retail and office that is between here
and the high school. Does the City really need six more restaurant or bank sites?
Commissioner Jones stated that the zoning is C-1. He expressed concern about the Commission
turning down projects based solely on personal opinions about market conditions. He said if
there are rules in place for people to follow and the expectation is if you own a piece of property

and you have the proper zoning and you follow the rules the City puts in place then you should
be able to develop the property.
Commissioner Ash asked if the conditions about the ground cover would have to be added in
now.
Commissioner Holzman stated the motion would have to be amended.
Mr. Hitt recommended that the concerns regarding the number of parcels and ground cover,
being it is a road right-of--way, be included as part of the minutes rather than a motion because it
might be one of those things that is out of their control.
Commissioner Whitehead moved to approve the request as presented, seconded by
Commissioner Banzhaf. The vote was 4-S to recommend for denial to City Council. Opposing
were Chairman Pape, Commissioners Holzman, Outlaw, Treadwell and Boyatt.
Commissioner Holzman moved to deny the application, seconded by Commissianer Treadwell.
The vote was 5-4 to recommend far denial to City Council. Opposing were Commissioners
Banzhaf, Ash, Jones, and Whitehead.
3. REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PROJECT NAME: A-1 Trailers
OWNER/APPLICANT: Highland Industries /Charlie Russ
REQUESTED ACTION: A Conditional Use Permit request to amend Resolution No. 1299
to allow additional repairs to a variety of trailers and to allow
additional display areas on site.
LOCATION: 1993 S. Highway 27
EXISTING ZONING: C-2 (General Commercial)
EXISTING LAND USE: Commercial
FUTURE LAND USE DISTRICT: Undeveloped District 2 (UD-2)
FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION: Commercial
Planning Director Jim Hitt stated the applicant is requesting an amendment to the current
resolution to allow for repair of trailers, tire and wheel repairs, body work on trailers, and a

display area of trailers. The display area would consist of a 20' x 40' area adjacent to Highway
27. The applicant is currently operating a trailer assembly business which was approved in
January 2003 by Resolution No. 1299. The existing resolution only allows for final trailer
assembly and retail sales of the trailers.
The applicant is also requesting to expand the storage area to the south of the property. The
proposal would be to fence in an area adjacent to Highway 27 for storage of assembled trailers.
The original Conditional Use Permit required all storage areas be screened from public view and
did not allow for any trailers or trucks to be parked for display along Highway 27 (Section 2,
item 4).
The applicant has a limited amount of time to use the property "as is" before the Florida
Department of Transportation creates the off ramp to Highway 50 straight through the middle of
the applicant's property. At this time the applicant will be required to obtain a new Conditional
Use Permit to continue the use of the operation.
Provided the applicant landscapes the storage area per code, staff recommends approval of the
Conditional Use Permit with particular attention to Section 2, items 3 and 4 limiting the time of
the Conditional Use Permit.
Meeting Discussion:
Charlie Russ, 1993 S. Highway 27, stated they have operated four businesses from this property
since 1971, three of which are still in existence. They would like to expand on what they are
doing now in hopes that FDOT does not take them completely off the site. FDOT has indicated
that the paved part and metal building is a potential swap property for his building that they will
remove for the ramp for the Express 50 East route sometime around 2012. FDOT is not sure
what they are doing as to whether they will do the swap or if they are taking the front part and
just leaving him the parcel in the back which will make it difficult to carry out the operations he
has there now. They also may take the entire parcel and make a bus station out of it. They can
do any of the three. This is all temporary he and will have to come back to the City in two to
three years.
Commissioner Treadwell asked if he was doing trailer assembly and repair possibly in the
display area.
Mr. Russ stated that the CUP existing for A-1 Trailers allows him to bring in boat trailers in a
compressed fashion and assemble them specific for the boat that the boat dealer has ordered to be
put on that trailer and then they deliver it. At this point they have been doing this for the past
three years and will continue to do that along with other trailer sales.
Commissioner Treadwell asked if that was in the display area that he is talking about.

Mr. Russ stated yes there are very few moments during the day that there isn't something parked
there now. So the fact they want to use it as a display will bring them into compliance so that
they can leave something there for display, only, as opposed to the working area they have there
now.
Commissioner Holzman asked if there is any other place on the property than the southeast
corner that can be used for storage.
Mr. Russ stated there is no other place on the property that can be used.
Commissioner Holzman stated he did not understand how he was going to be able to fence that
without taking out all the trees, an option which doesn't appeal to him.
Mr. Russ stated the property will have to be fenced and landscaped per code.
Commissioner Boyatt asked if the storage area is going to become asphalt or will it stay grassed
with trees.
Mr. Russ stated the storage area will stay earthen. Most of the trees will be removed for the
fence but the trees around the border of the property will stay. FDOT will be taking the trees out
when they do the road. He feels he needs to give this a try to find out if trailer sales and repair is
a viable business for him on the property if in fact they do the property swap.
Commissioner Boyatt asked what type of fence will be put around the property.
Mr. Russ stated he is required to put 6' chain link fence. Landscape will be some kind of hedge
material 2 feet high which is City's code.
Commissioner Ash asked why Staff eliminated the condition that all storage has to be blocked
from view especially right on Highway 27. She said chain link fence with bushes around it is
unattractive.
Commissioner Banzhaf stated it seems like a temporary situation.
Commissioner Ash stated they are talking 2 to 4 years and she does not consider that temporary.
She would like to see enough foliage to cover the chain link fence.
Commissioner Jones moved to approve the request, seconded by Commissioner Banzhaf The
vote was 4-5 to recommend for denial to City Council. Opposing were Chairman Pape,
Commissioners Ash, Holzman, Outlaw and Treadwell.

Planner Barbara Hollerand introduced and presented supporting documentation for the City's
first-cycle 2007 proposed large-scale comprehensive plan amendment. This amendment package
includes seven separate items, including two administrative amendments. This submittal also
included both map amendments and text changes to Appendix C of the Future Land Use Element
as well as text changes to the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Intergovernmental
Coordination Element.
Upon Council approval, this amendment package would be transmitted for review by the Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA), Lake County and the five reviewing agencies. DCA
would issue an Objections, Recommendations and Comments letter on the proposed amendment
around June, and it could come back to the Council for adoption in the summer.
1. GOPs (Goals, Objectives & Policies)
Commissioner Outlaw stated he was concerned with the wording "shall" in Policy 2-5.2 that we
shall coordinate with nonprofits. He suggested some word changes to the policy to say that the
City will continue to coordinate with nonprofit environmental organizations. He said the way it
is worded now; the City would be required to coordinate with nonprofit environmental
organizations. Policy 3-5 should also be amended this way, he said.
Ms. Hollerand stated the language they were looking for is that we are going to manage our
coordination and resources. She believes it can be reworded.

Proposed Large-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Transmittal; seconded by Commissioner
Ash. The vote was unanimous to recommend for approval to City Council.
5. Bees Auto (Weatherbee)
Wayne Weatherbee, 899 W. Montrose St., stated he was approached by the Chief of Police and
Lt. Jensen about the possible purchase of Bee's Auto at its present location. Since he has
purchased this new property for parking it is only logical that he moves the business over there.
He was told he would have to change the comprehensive plan to allow automotive there. This
confuses him because automotive has been there for the last fifty years.
Mr. Mantzaris stated the reason why he is here is because the property he does not currently
operate on needs to go through the approval process which includes the comp plan changes to be
consistent with the area. This is the first step and then he would have to acquire a CUP. The
motivating factor is the property to which he wants to move his business currently does not have
approval for that use.
Steven Franklin, 378 12~' St., was engaged by Mr. Weatherbee to produce plans for the
expansion of the building that he purchased. There was an automotive repair place operating in
that current location in 1999 despite the fact that the amendment was changed in 1992. He asked
how you write out an existing use.

Chairman Pape stated it becomes anon-conforming use when it ceases to operate as that use.
According to Ms. Hollerand, the day they stopped doing business that use went away.
Mr. Franklin asked if Mr. Weatherbee's current location is also zoned EDB-1 and is also not
permitted for automotive.
Chairman Pape stated it is anon-conforming use but it is grandfathered in because it continues to
exist.
Mr. Franklin asked about the paperwork done for Mr. Weatherbee's property. He stated it
looked like it was written in two different ways. One part of the document looked like it was
adding automotive service and repair to EBD-1 and the other part of the document seemed it was
only by CUP.
Chairman Pape stated he believed it is a site specify c designation.
Mr. Mantzaris stated Mr. Weatherbee would have to go through the CUP process.
Charlene Forth, 939 W. Desoto, stated that Mr. Weatherbee has been there for a long time in the
downtown and she is in support of Mr. Weatherbee's business.
Commissioner Whitehead moved to approve the Bees Auto portion in the Proposed Large-Scale
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Transmittal; seconded by Commissioner Boyatt. The vote was
unanimous to recommend for approval to City Council.
6. Kings Crossing
Jimmy Crawford, Gray Robinson in Clermont, represented Kings Crossing; LLC which
purchased the portion of the existing PUD known as Tuscany Village that is on the Southeast
side of highway 27 on both sides of Citrus Tower Blvd. He presented the approved site plan. He
stated the owner did not realize when they started looking at this property that there was a
separate land use plan amendment that said no full retail on this side of the road. The new
buyers have looked at surrounding area and what is going on at the intersection and are asking
for a limited amount of retail development at this location. On the new plan there is a maximum
of 68,000 square feet which is a reduction of 30,000 square feet from the original plan. They are
asking for no more the 37,000 square feet of retail space.
Commissioner Whitehead asked about the wetlands.
Mr. Crawford stated they were not touching the wetlands. He stated there are 14 acres of usable
land out of the 100 year flood wetlands and 43 total. He stated the new plans show a full
landscape buffer and a setback; there is a 25' buffer that remains natural from the wetlands then
a 50' setback from there.

Whitehead.
7. Gerald Jones
Fred Morrison, 1000 W. Main St. Leesburg, stated that he is representing Gerald Jones. He
stated Mr. Jones is seeking the text change so that he can continue and expand his auto repair
business that he has been operating in the same location for 30 years now. In 1989 he received a
CUP to add a bay to his business. Mr. Jones thought he had his business sold and realized the use
granted to him personally and would not continue to a new owner. He was faced with losing
value. Mr. Jones submitted to the City a set of site plans. He found out he could not do anything
with his site plan until he goes through the comp plan process. What Mr. Jones plans to do is
construct a new building on the property in the back towards Chestnut Street. He will move all
the outside storage and lift inside the new building and park the vehicles he is working on inside
so you don't see any of this when you go by. This will benefit the City and public by providing
on-site stormwater retention and indoor storage, move the hydraulic inside, improve site access,
his dumpster will be internalized and the landscaping and parking will be brought up to code.
Mr. Jones is asking for the amendment to allow him to continue doing what he has been doing at
this site for many years and to get approval for the site plan on which he has spent money on
without being informed by the City until after he has gone through that process that he could not
use it. He needs to get through this process, get the site plan approved, get his CUP and get Mr.
Jones back in business and solve the problem between him and the City.
Charles Forth, 939 W. Desoto, spoke in favor of Gerald Jones' comp plan text change
amendment.
William Lang, 1401 W. Hwy 50, spoke in favor of Gerald Jones' comp plan text change
amendment and his good work ethic.
Randy Langley, 11102 Lake Minneola Shores, spoke in favor of Gerald Jones' comp plan text
change amendment.

change amendment.

Charlene Forth, 939 W. Desoto, spoke in favor or Gerald Jones' comp plan text change
amendment.
Mr. Mantzaris informed the board that their job is to review the potential change to the comp
plan and not take into consideration any other case or project that has been brought forward.
The board needs to understand that this property has an approved CUP and has for some time
now that has allowed him to operate his business. The problem has arisen because the failure to
comply with the CUP. The property owner has now expanded beyond the approved CUP and is
now trying to apply for a new CUP to comply with what he has expanded beyond the original
one. He said the Commission needs to consider what surrounds this property and the established
future land use around it which are residential and residential professional. But the issue about
whether this will put an individual out of business or not is beyond the scope of this issue. He
has a business and it is an ongoing business and continues to do business with the approved CUP
that he has had for several years.
Commissioner Boyatt asked Mr. Hitt if the comp plan gets approved and Mr. Jones does get a
CUP would he have to bring the entire property up to code in order to receive his certificate of
occupancy.
Mr. Hitt stated that yes the property would have to be brought up to code.
Commissioner Jones asked what code enforcement cases there are against the Mr. Jones'
property.
Mr. Mantzaris explained that the violations can be corrected without going through this comp
plan process. He stated that this process is a way to resolve those violations but it is not the only
way they can be resolved.
Commissioner Whitehead asked if there is a way for the amendment to pertain to only this
property. She was told it does only apply to this property.
Commissioner Ash moved to approve the Gerald Jones portion in the Proposed Large-Scale
