REPORTS
CITY MANAGER SAUNDERS' REPORT
JENKINS AUDITORIUM ROOF
It was reported that the auditorium roof was leaking badly in the
patio area and that the mansard surrounding the entire roof was
rotten. Upon inspection, it was determined that the roof needed
to be replaced in the lobby/patio area, recoated over ,the main
auditorium and the mansard replaced, but not necessarily with the
existing shake shingles. City Manager Saunders further stated that
it was estimated that the recommended repair/replacement work would
cost in excess of $20,000.

COUNCIL MEMBER TURVILLE, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER COLE AND
UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED TO PLACE THE ROOF REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT FOR
JENKINS AUDITORIUM OUT FOR BID.
CANAL CLEANING - PALATLAKAHA RECREATION AREA
City Manager Saunders reported that as the Council was aware, the
City did not received the grant for Phase II development of the
park, which included cleaning of the existing canal. Mr. Saunders
continued by stating that the City Engineer has estimated that it
will cost approximately $10, 000. The Council was then asked if
they wished to place the work out for bid at this time because the
water was low and the work would be easier to perform. Mr.
Saunders continued by stating that he had spoken with the Lake
County Water Authority and asked permission to request assistance
from them with this project.

Mrs. Johnson stated that she believed others had been allowed to
clear 25' and stated that she wanted to clear 25'. City Manager
Saunders reiterated the City's position of only allowing 15'.
Mrs. Johnson then requested that she be allowed to place sand on
the beach and build a dock on the property so her grandchildren
could go fishing. City Manager Saunders stated that the City did
not allow docks to be built on city owned property due to the
liability involved, and in fact the last dock allowed on city owned
property had recently been torn down. The city also has a policy
against placing sand on city owned property.
90-108 Some further discussion ensued concerning these policies, and _A
MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER TURVILLE APPROVING 15' AS THE
AMOUNT TO ALLOW MRS. JOHNSON TO CLEAR. THIS MOTION DIED FOR LACK
OF A SECOND.
After scone further discussion concerning bringing this type of
request before Council and whether 15' or 25' should be allowed,

approve 15' requests without bringing it before Council.

MEMBER TURVILLE AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED GRANTING APPROVAL FOR THE
CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE THESE TYPES OF REQUESTS GRANTING APPROVAL

REQUIRED 50' TO 30' FOR SKYLINE MOTEL
Mr. Wood appeared before Council to request a variance to allow a
30' setback from Highway 27 where 50' is required for the Skyline
Motel restaurant.
It was pointed out that Mr. Wood was granted a request for a 35'
setback for the same project last year. Mr. Wood then referred to
his site plan, and explained that because the existing building to
the north had a setback of 32' and the existing building to the
south has a setback of 29', he was requesting that the new
structure be allowed to have a 30' setback, which would conform
with the setbacks of the existing structures and cause no further
encroachment than already present.
Mayor Pool called for comments from those present and no one spoke
in favor of or in opposition to the request.

MEMBER TURVILLE AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED GRANTING THE 30' SETBACK

STREET ACCEPTANCE
As background information, City Manager Saunders stated that
Division Street running east of Highway 27 at the northern city
limits had been completed, but as of this date, that the project
engineer had not signed off on the project. The lengthy delay in
project was caused when the street was originally constructed
without the benefit of an approved set of plans and later the
developer requested to construct it without the required curb and
gutter, which later proved to be inadequate to control stormwater
on-site. They have now completed the curb and gutter, but the DOT
requirements on Highway 27 have not been completed.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
As Chairperson of the Parks and Recreation Commission, Nilsa

requesting that consideration be given to the following:
1. Increased police patrols at the beach to help
curb the fights that routinely take place and
the life guards have to break up.
2. A police radio be given the life guards to use
for emergencies.
City Manager Saunders stated that the life guards do have a radio
and have been instructed to call the police department if fights
develop, but that he would ask for increased patrols at the beach
during the summer months.
There being no further business or discussion, the meeting
adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
