Anthony Lavender is the current cleaning contractor. He requested the opportunity to bid on the services
as he was not informed of the bid process. City Manager Saunders noted staff followed procedures on the
bidding process and advised Mr. Lavender we would be making a change. Mr. Saunders urged Council
to move ahead and approve as it would not be fair to reject the bids submitted and start over. City
Attorney Mantzaris noted that staff followed the city's procedures on procurement. The only option is to
accept or reject and start over. If the Council decided to reject the bids received, it would be setting a
difficult precedence on the procurement side. Mayor Turville questioned if staff is satisfied with the
current cleaning service provider. City Manager Saunders replied with no as that is the reason staff
decided to go out to bid on cleaning services.
Council Member Mullins moved to award the bid to H & H Cleaning• seconded
Council Member Berlinsky. The motion passed with all members present voting "aye"

Transmittal Hearing -Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Barbara Hollerand, Planner, presented the transmittal hearing for the City's second-cycle 2007
comprehensive plan amendment, which includes three separate requests. Items approved for transmittal
will be forwarded to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), Lake County, and the five
reviewing agencies. Then, it will return to the Council for adoption in November. She advised the
audience of the "Comprehensive Plan Citizen Courtesy Information List" form. The Florida DCA in
Tallahassee provides this form for individuals who are interested in being notified when the Notice of
Intent to find the comprehensive plan amendments in compliance is published should anyone be
interested in providing their contact information.
Item one (1) is being handled administratively. This is the Hartwood Marsh Self-Storage Facility/Baffles
property. This is an approximately 23-acre property, located east of 27, on the south side of Hartwood
Marsh Road, west of Hancock Road. The owner is Florida Discount Self Storage No. 4 LLC. It was
annexed into the City last month. The project is under construction. All annexations trigger the need for a
comprehensive plan amendment to change from County to City future land use. Commercial properties in
Undeveloped District 7 also require text amendments to describe the location of the commercial use. The
map change for this is from County Urban Expansion to Undeveloped District 7 Commercial. Barbara
then reviewed the proposed language for the text amendment. Staff recommended approval of the Future
Land Use Map change and the text change to the Undeveloped District 7 language in Appendix C of the
Future Land Use Element. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval.
Mayor Turville opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Turville closed the public
hearing.
Council Member Goodgame questioned if this facility is donating right of way for the expansion of the
road. Ms. Hollerand advised that it has already been donated.
Council Member Goodgame moved that item 1 of the proposed Large Scale
Comprehensive Plan Amendment is included in the vote to send to DCA• seconded by
Council Member Mullins. The motion passed with all members present voting "aye"
Item two (2) is the Foxchase property. This is an approximately 78-acre property, located west of U.S. 27,
south side of the South Clermont Connector, adjacent to Legends. The owner/applicant is Standard
Pacific of Central Florida GP, Inc. This property was also annexed last month and the project is under
construction. The property owner already has secured the necessary approvals for the 162-home
subdivision. This step is to replace the County future land use with a City future land use. It needs a map
change from County Urban Expansion to Undeveloped District 7 (UD-7) Residential. Staff recommends
approval of the Future Land Use Map change. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval.
Mayor Turville opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Turville closed the public
hearing.
Council Member Goodgame moved that item 2 of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan
amendment be included in the transmittal• seconded by Council Member Mullins The
motion passed with all members present voting "aye"

AUGUST 28, 2007
Item three (3) involves a property already in the City. It includes both a map and text change. This is the
Celebration of Praise property, located west of U.S. 27, south of the South Clermont Connector, north of
Legends. The owner is the Local Board of Trustees of the Church of God. The applicant is Cecelia
Bonifay with Akerman Senterfitt. The applicant is asking for a map change from Undeveloped District 7
(UD-7) Residential to UD-7 Commercial for 14.7 acres of the approximately 50-acre property. Also, a
text change to describe this commercial use at this location in UD-7. A second request by the applicant is
to amend the UD-7 language to add "age-restricted adult independent living and assisted living" to the
allowed uses on the full parcel at this location in UD-7.
The City granted a conditional use permit (CUP) for a church use on the property in 2002. The CUP was
amended in 2003 to allow for four (4) changes to the original CUP, including increasing the size of the
worship center.
The list of land uses currently approved in the CUP also includes:
1 educational classrooms
2 a church office complex in the worship center building
3 a family life community center with gymnasium, outdoor swimming pool, and kitchen facility
with banquet area
4 a daycare/nursery center
5 a spiritual life center with library, bookstore, cafe and meeting rooms
6 a picnic pavilion;
maintenance garage;
8 Bowling alley and arcade.
These uses were shown on the CUP-referenced site plan as phase I and II. A third phase was shown on
the approved site plan, but because it was not part of the CUP, it was not approved by the Council. The
Phase III area, proposed in the 2003 plans as a nursing home, assisted living and independent living, was
shown on the site plan as being on about 10 acres of planted pine along the western boundary of the
property, adjacent to Legends. The church has completed the Phase I construction of the family life
community center, the daycare/nursery and the spiritual life center. The church anticipates applying for an
amendment to the existing CUP to reflect changes in the timing and scope of future phases. Because some
of these changes are contingent upon the approval of the comprehensive plan amendment to allow for
commercial use on the 14.7-acre parcel and to add the independent living and assisted living uses, the
CUP amendment application would not move forward until any comprehensive plan amendment changes
are adopted, which would occur no sooner than November.
The church has indicated that in a new CUP amendment application, it will show the relocation of the
worship center sanctuary's proposed parking, presently shown on the approved site plan as part of Phase
II and as being within the 14.7-acre proposed commercial site, to another location within the parent tract.
A traffic study on the 14.7 acres of proposed commercial was included with the application. The study
concluded that "there will be no degradation to the surrounding roadway network with the addition of the
proposed development at the proposed build-out in the year 2020." The City planning staff has been
working with transportation planners with the Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization in a
review of the report. Existing traffic volumes referenced in the report appear to be underestimated and
some key roadway segments, such as Citrus Tower Boulevard and the South Clermont Connector, are not
included in the study area roadways. Staff cannot support this request for commercial at this time.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 28, 2007
Should the amendment be approved for transmittal by the Council, the amendment and the traffic study
will be forwarded to the Florida Department of Transportation as part of the agency review.
Staff can support the additional uses of age-restricted adult independent living and assisted living for the
parent tract. Such uses are complementary to existing uses on the property and are logical land use
transitions from the adjacent residential.
Staff recommends approval of the text change to UD-7 to add independent living and assisted living uses
and recommends denial of the map change to commercial for the 14.7 acres.
On the text amendment request, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted 6 to 1 to include, at the
applicant's request, the additional use of "skilled nursing facility" and to recommend for approval to the
City Council. On the map amendment request, the Commission voted 5 to 2 to recommend denial.
Cecelia Bonifay, Esq., Akerman Senterfitt, was present on behalf of Celebration of Praise requesting
approval. She requested the items requested to be treated separately and to change the UD 7 Residential
to UD 7 Commercial located along the front of the property on U.S. 27. The applicant is asking for text
changes and then a change in usage. Ms. Bonifay, Esq., commented on an updated traffic analysis and
provided letters for the Council from the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The MPO
reviewed the revised traffic analysis and made a determination that this will meet all of the
comprehensive plan requirements and there is sufficient traffic capacity on the roadway. The Traffic
Consultant is present and available to answer questions. The other issue raised at the Planning and
Zoning meeting in regards to issue of commercial was what kind of impact this might have and if it was a
necessity. Ms. Bonifay, Esq., stated it has been determined there is a demand and a need for commercial
in this area despite additional commercial at Tuscany Village.
Rod Trusty, Senior Pastor, was present requesting approval. He sent letters to the Legends residents
inviting them to a meeting to discuss their plans.
Council Member Berlinsky moved to consider the text change; the motion died for a lack of a second.
Martin Taylor, Administrative Bishop for the Church of God, was present requesting approval.
Jonathan Moore, Developer, was present on behalf of the church requesting consideration.
Ms. Bonifay, Esq., reviewed the proposed commercial sites noting it would include a bank, hotel, and two
(2) fast foot restaurants.

Variance Request -Ashley Furniture
Jim Hitt, Planning Director, reported on the CUP and variance request. He noted a change on section 4
under Transportation which will need to be incorporated into the CUP with the motion. This is in regards
to the development of Grand Highway and Hooks Street to be completed prior to obtaining a Certificate
of Occupancy. Also, a potential traffic light at the corner Grand Highway and Hooks Street, as this is for
the proportionate fair share, when it is warranted.
Bob Ziegenfuss was present, on behalf of the applicant, explaining the reasons for the requests.
John Olinger, McGill Property Group, was present on behalf of the applicant. In reviewing staffs
recommendations, there are items within the Transportation section the Developer feels would be best
served if it becomes part of the Development Agreement, the approved roadway plans, because those
plans are being changed in order to accommodate the design required. He would like to see the
conditions be part of the roadway plan approval process. In addition, he did not object to staffs additions.
By changing and holding Ashley Furniture accountable to having certain roadway construction done, he
clarified they would be obligated to have all of Grand Highway and that stretch of Hook Street from
Grand Highway to US Highway 27 completed before a Certificate of Occupancy.
Mayor Turville opened the public hearing.
Jim Purvis, 4206 Hammersmith, encouraged Council approval.
Mayor Turville closed the public hearing.
Council Member Goodgame questioned whether the picture shown depicts how Hooks Street will be
built. City Manager Saunders replied they working with Lake County on the design.
Mayor Turville asked if staff is amenable to what is being suggested by the applicant as it relates to
section 4. City Manager Saunders stated no, staff is working on an agreement with the Developer of the
overall site. It will be their responsibility to handle the items they have asked to be eliminated. That
agreement is not in place. If we had an agreement in place, we could make reference that Ashley
Furniture could obtain a Certificate of Occupancy once the developer had finished the improvements but
that agreement does not exist. The only way for approval to move forward is to have the requirements for
those items necessary to serve them to be in their CUP. This would give the City assurance.
City Manager Saunders is in agreement to changing number 5 and 7 currently in the Resolution and all
other items they wanted eliminated has to stay in the Resolution or be tabled.
The applicant prefers to not table the request.
City Manager Saunders noted staff understands there may be changes in the design and we have the
ability to do that. Staff has been working with the Developer on these items and will accommodate in the
overall design. Therefore, we can accomplish what is necessary by adopting it and it will give us the
assurance needed.
Mr. Olinger noted he met with the Florida Department of Transportation this afternoon in reference to the
roadway improvements.
