WORKSHOP MEETING
MAY 15, 1990
A Workshop Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was
held Tuesday, May 15, 1990 in the City Council Chambers. The
meeting was called to order at 3:30 p.m. by Mayor Pool with the
following Council Members in attendance: Mayor Pro Tem Turville,
Council Member Dupe e, and Council Member Norquist. Other City
Officials present were City Manager Saunders, City Engineer
Springstead, Finance Director Van Zile and Planning Director
Harker.
PROPOSED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT - THE SUMMIT
Mayor Pool explained that the purpose of this meeting was to
continue discussion of the proposed Planned Unit Development for
the Summit, which is a 1,200 acre project to be developed on the
Fosgate property east of the existing city limits.
Mayor Pool then introduced Jesse Graham, Attorney representing the
Summit. Mr. Graham stated that he felt all issues had been
resolved except for the sewage treatment facilities. Mr. Graham
indicated that the present concern was more of a timing concern
than the operation and maintenance charges or the initial capital
outlay, as had been their concerns in past discussions. He further
explained that they proposed to have the first homes under
construction by mid 1991 and that they could not design, permit and
construct the 500, 000 gallon plant in that time frame. He then
proposed that the Summit begin the design of the 500, 000 gallon
plant immediately, and place an interim facility on site while the
500,000 gallon plant was being built. The interim facility would
be a small inexpensive package plant with a capacity of 150,000 to
250,000 gallons.
City Manager Saunders then explained to the Council and Mr. Graham
that City Engineer Springstead and he had been working on an
alternate proposal that would address all of the concerns brought
up during past discussions, including the timing problem now
brought to the forefront. He continued to explain the concept,
which would be to bring the first 200 - 250 homes of the
development into the city's existing treatment facility, which
according to the developer's time schedule, would place them into
the second year of the prof ect. This would allow time for
construction of the 500, 000 gallon plant. It was further explained
that this would require a force main to be constructed from the
site to the Jack' s Lake Road area, and at that point a 500, 000
gallon lift station would be constructed. From the lift station
a force main would be built to connect into the existing force main
at Grand Highway and Pitt Street. One other section of force main
would be constructed between this site and Lift Station #21 located
on Pitt Street at West Lake. It was further explained that the
City has capacity at Lift Station #21 to handle up to 250 units and
still leave the City an additional capacity for 75 - 100 units.
Mr. Saunders continued by stating that the City Engineer had placed
an estimated cost on these improvements at just under $300, 000,

which was less than the initial estimate the Summit had provided
for an interim package plant. In conclusion, it was stated that
the dollars could be spent on permanent improvements and eliminate
the city having to operate a package plant and this in turn would
give the developers the time they needed to construct the 500,000
gallon plant.
Mr. Saunders continued by stating that the City would collect
impact fees for the units served by this interim plan, and the fees
collected from within the Summit project would be paid to the
developers at the time of start up of the 500,000 gallon plant.
Mr. Graham indicated that this sounded like the most feasible route
to take and still meet the developer's needs.
Mr. Norm Harris, who also represented the Summit, was present and
stated that he believed that this would be the best way to spend
the dollars and meet the needs of the developers, as well as the
City. In conclusion, he stated that he felt the City should
proceed with this plan.
Jesse Graham then stated that the developers would prefer that an
annexation agreement be developed which would detail the proposed
project. City Manager Saunders reiterated that the City's
Conditional Use Permit procedure did just that, and that the
conditions which would be placed in the resolution and Conditional
Use Permit would have to be accepted by the developer before it
became binding. Mr. Graham then stated that he would get back with
City Manager Saunders in the near future with a time they could
meet with City Attorney Baird to draw up the formal documents
outlining the agreements between the City and the Summit.
There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 4:20
p.m.
