Upon inquiry of City Attorney Vason by Mayor Smoak as to his legal status in
participating in Council's plot plan review of the proposed Crystal Beach Apartments,
he was advised there was no legal reason found which would prohibit him from taking
part in, or voting on, any matters pertaining to the proposed Crystal Beach Apartments.
Mayor Smoak elected, however, to vacate the chair prior to the continuation of
the Crystal Beach Apartments Plot Plan review, and it was assumed by Mayor Pro-Tem
Schroedel.
Immediately prior to discussion on the review, City Manager Hopkins advised that
one of the requirements for site plan approval was the approval from the regulatory
agency, Florida Pollution Control Board, with respects to water, sewer and
storm water run-off, and that he had received word from the DPC that inasmuch as
the city's temporary operating permit had expired and that all the necessary
required information hadn't been provided in the application to the DPC for the
sewerage aspects of this project, that they were not in a position to grant
approval. He further advised that on this night he had been hand delivered a letter
under date of August 26th from Tom Honeycutt, Acting Regional Director of the DPC,
addressed to the engineer of the project, that, according to his interpretation
of the letter, DPC was now taking the position that the city's sewer facility
is adequate, but that he had not had the ppportunity to question Mr. Honeycutt
on his attitude with respect to the temporary operating permit, so it appeared
that all they were saying in the lettePl~as that if all the additional information
is provided, they will again review the application for the purpose of issuing
collection system certification but they did not, in fact, say that they would,
and he therefore still does not know to what extent the temporary operating permit
situation is going to be in influence. He still further advised that as far as
he was concerned, from the standpoint of existing ordinances, the proposed project
meets all the requirements of the existing ordinances less the one approval by
the regulatory agency, DPC.
Messrs. Adair and Smith, representing the developer of the proposed project,
reported to Council of a meeting with Mr. Honeycutt on just the day prior at which
time it was their verbal understanding from him that DPC was granting approval
and that such would be incorporated in the letter.
Councilman Oswalt inquired of City Attorney Vason as to his opinion of Council's
legal status with regards withholding the issuance of a building permit due to
pending changes in the zoning ordinance which would affect such projects. Mr. Vason
advised that it was not within his scope as City Attorney to act as a "Finder of
Fact, in this particular situation but rather it was left to those persons who
are designated in our system to be "Finders of Fact". Mr. Vason went on to
cite several and various Florida Court decisions based on such things as substantial
expenditures and reliance on acts by the city, whether or not there was good faith
on the part of the developers, bad faith on part of cities, etc.
Mr. Vason reported still further that should the City Council find that this developer
has expended rather large sums of money in good faith reliance on any act or
omission or present zoning law of the city, with good faith being stressed, then
he felt that the City Council should instruct the City Manager to issue a permit,
however, if the City Council should find that the applicant has not, in good faith,
relied on any act or omission on part of the City or he incurred those expenses, then
he felt the Council could justifiably instruct the City Manager to withhold issuance
of the permit. He advised that the City Council should determine if the applicant
is entitled to a permit as of the day he applied and to direct their attention
to whether or not any expenses incurred by the applicant were, in fact, made in
reliance on the zoning ordinances as they are in effect today.

Mr. Claude E. Smoak, Jr. appeared before Council and reiterated his comments from
the meeting held on August 13th wherein he expressed deep concern with regards
traffic hazard - density factor increasing - water quality of Crystal Lake -
aesthetic loss due to e~essive asphalt surfaces and the proposed project driveway
to be parallel and only 13 feet from his, if the project is allowed to be
constructed under the existing zoning ordinances.
It was the opinion of Councilman Waller that the developer had acted in good faith
and had met all existing requirements except one, and that Council should no
longer delay issuing the necessary permit immediately upon receipt of the last
requirement, approval from DPC.
It was the opinion of Councilman Oswalt that the proposed zoning ordinance
amendments, which were introduced for first reading earlier in the evening, and
which would affect multiple family developments such as this, were for the betterment
of the entire city and neither for nor against any particular project and he
thereby offered and moved the adoption of a RESOLUTION authorizing and directing the
City Manager and Building Official to withhold the issuance of building permits
for multiple-family dwellings in all zoning districts pending the effective date
of the zoning changes contained in Ordinances numbered 110-C thru 121-C. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Byrd. Mayor Pro-Tem Schroedel requested
a roll call vote, the results wHich were as follows: Ayes: Byrd, Oswalt and
Schroede1. Total Ayes: Three. Nayes: Waller. Absent: Smoak. So the Resolution
was adopted and the number 238 assigned to it.
Mayor Pro-Tem Schroedel vacated the chair at this time and it was assumed by
Mayor Smoak.
It was consensus of Council that the City Manager contact Mr. Honeycutt of DPC
"post haste" with regards to applying for a treatment plant operating permit,
the city's temporary permit having expired on April 30th.
With regards recommendation of the City Manager that the city enter into an agree-
ment with the Department of Commerce wherein a federally funded manpower program
(The Emergency Employment Program) is offered for tme employment of personnel
on a reimbursement basis with Clermont being eligible to obtain up to $16,176.08
and only being obligated to fund 10% of the program which could be done with in-kind
services, motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Waller and
carried that the City Manager be authorized to execute such an agreement, but
that in lleu Of hlr1ng tour aoolt10nal personnel, that four presently funded
~OSitlOns be filled as they become vacant.
The meeting was adjourned by Mayor Smoak at 10:45 P. M.
