1. REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT OF CONDITIONAL ~ USE PERNIIT
APPLICANT: Clermont Venture, Ltd.
LOCATION: North of Highway 50 and east of Grand Highway
REQUEST: A request for a Conditional Use Permit to amend Resolution #811 to
allow the operation of a veterinary office.
Mr. Harker explained that the applicant is requesting an amendment of the current
Resolution #811 to allow operation of a veterinary office in the Clermont Regional
Shopping Center. The shopping center was granted a Conditional Use Permit which
provides for a large number of land uses consistent with the C-2 (General Commercial
Business District) zoning classification of the City. However, the veterinary clinic
requested is a use within the C-2 zoning district which is designated as a conditional use
and therefore requires review and approval by the appropriate City Boards and
Commissions.
Mr. Harker further stated that the shopping center consist of some 191,000+ square feet.
As of this date the center has received certificate of occupancy for approximately 163,000
square feet of the total center. Staff has recommend the requirements listed in condition
#8 be imposed as the center is nearing full tenancy, yet numerous conditions of the
original CUP regarding site stabilization have yet to be completed.
Mr. Harker further noted that the clinic, according to the signed application, would
perform usual operations of veterinary medicine, surgery and hospitalization, exclusive of
animal boarding which is common to many clinics. Understanding such operations are
becoming a standard practice within centers located in larger cities, as long as certain
criteria and safe guards are put in place, staff would recommend approval of the
requested use with the following conditions:
1. Approval of the proposed use shall be conditioned upon compliance with all
previous conditions specified in Resolutions 773 and 811, respectively.

The subject site is situated on the south side of S.R. 50 and contains property lying on
both the east and west sides of Hancock Road. The applicant has expressed a desire to
develop a planned unit development project with commercial uses situated adjacent to
S.R. 50 and a single family subdivision meeting the R-1 zoning district criteria (i.e. 7,500
square foot lots, etc.) The City adopted and state approved Comprehensive Plan
indicates a commercial node to be located around the intersection of S.R. 50 and
Hancock Road, and expansion in a residential pattern as evidenced by the UD-5 Future
Land Use Map category which recommends development of detached single family units.
Therefore, rezoning to C-2, General Commercial Business District and R-1, Urban
Residential District, would be in conformance with approved directives for future City
growth and development.
Based upon consistency with existing, adjacent land use patterns and compliance with the
City adopted and state approved Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends approval of the
rezoning from RR (Rural Residential District) to C-2 (General Commercial Business
District) and R-1 (Urban Residential District) subject to formal action of the City
Council for the requested annexation.
At this time Mr. Sargent asked all those present who wished to speak in regard to this
case be sworn in.
Persons sworn in were:
Jim Bible of P.O. Box 3873, Longwood, Florida
Tony Cruz of 13132 Loblolly Lane, Clermont, Florida
Amil Jahna of P.O. Box 840, Lake Wales, Florida
Mr. Jim Bible, representative of the applicant, gave a brief synopsis of the proposed
project.
Mr. Tony Cruz, nearby property owner, had questions regarding the size of lots and
asked if a wall of some type would be erected between the proposed subdivision and
Greater Pines.
Chairman Sargent explained to Mr. Cruz that. these questions could be answered for him
when then next agenda item is heard which involves the actual PUD.
Mr. Amil Jahna, representing E.R. Jahna, Industries, abutting property owner, stated that
they had no objection to the development but did wish to state that there is an ongoing
mining operation near the proposed development that has been in business since 1954
and hopes to continue to prosper for many years in the future.

3. REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICANT: Maynard K. Knapp, Trustee
GENERAL LOCATION: Property generally lying east and west of Hancock Road, south
of S.R. 50.
REQUEST: A request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development to
consist of a 299 unit single family subdivision and two (2) commercial parcels.
Chairman Sargent reported that Staff has also received a letter from Daryl Carter, Vice-
President of Maury L. Carter & Associates, Inc., stating that the Chester Fosgate
Company has no objection to the request.
Mr. Harker explained that the applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Unit Development in R-1 (Urban Residential) and C-2 (General Commercial
Business) districts generally located south of S.R. 50 at the intersection of S.R. 50 and
Hancock Road. The proposed request is consistent with the UD-5 (undeveloped district)
future land use district designations-and the general future land use map classifications
for the proposed uses.
The Planned Unit Development is proposed to encompass 142 +/- acres of land.
Commercial development will contain two (2) separate parcels and occupy approximately
24 +/- acres of the site. One parcel will front on both S.R. 50 and Hancock Road and
the second will front only on S.R. 50. The residential portion of the PUD will contain
approxunately 118 acres of land area, and be developed on both sides of Hancock Road.
The property on the west side is proposed to have 120 single family units and the
property on the east side will provide 179 single family units. It should be noted that a
Comprehensive Plan amendment will be required for development to occur on the east
side due to current Lake County designation as an employment center which does not
permit residential use to occur.
Certain lot design standard modifications for cul-de-sacs and lots which lie on the radius
of a road have also been requested which are as follows: (1) Lot width at the building
setback line to be 65 feet as opposed to 75 feet; (2) Front lot line on a road thirty-five
(35) feet as opposed to fifty (50) feet; (3) The rear setback line of twenty (20) feet as
opposed to twenty-five (25) feet, shall be modified for all lots within the subdivision.

adopted Comprehensive Plan of the City. And secondly, a separate agreement shall be
made between the developer and the City for the utilities that are to be provided to the
site.
Mr. Jim Bible gave a brief synopsis of the PUD. In reference to Section 2, Condition 4,
Mr. Bible stated that parcel A-1 would need construction access from S.R. 50 as the
residential property would more than likely be developed first. In reference to Section 3,
Condition 5, Mr. Bible asked that the last line of this condition be changed to note that
the developer would pay their pro rata share of the cost of signalization. Mr. Bible
explained that Lake Hills Utilities which has a water plant located in Greater Hills, has
extended a 16" water line across S.R. 50 to serve Greater Pines. This water line will
initially provide water to this project as well as to other projects within the area. Mr.
Bible stated in reference to the water reuse system, that if the reuse system is going to be
in place and operational they would place the lines, however, if it will be quite sometime

before a reuse system will be in place then the would like to be exempted from this
requirement as the lines would probably not be working properly if left unused for an
extended period of time.
Member Robert Smythe asked if there has previously been any exception to the required
rear yard setback for any other subdivision.
Mr. Harker stated that this being a PUD the requirement could be set for this entire
development, noting that he does .not recall of any other situation where this has arisen.
Mr. Bible noted that the county now only requires a five foot rear yard setback.
Mr. Harker explained that the greater rear yard setback would compliment the type of
housing unit proposed and allow for the provision of swimming pools in the rear yard.
Mr. Amil Jahna, representing E.R. Jahna; Industries, abutting property owner, once
again stated that they had no objection to the development but did wish to state that
there is an ongoing mining operation near the proposed development that has been in
business since 1954 and hopes to continue to prosper for many years in the future.
A motion was made by Marilyn George to recommend approval to the City Council as
presented by staff, with Section 2, Condition 4 being changed to read "except for the
~~
parcel at the northwest corner of the development and Section 3, Condition 5, change
"the total costs" to the developers pro rata share" and add a condition for the provision
of a water reuse system and add a condition for the provision of a utilities agreement
with the City. The motion was seconded by David Duncan.
The motion was withdrawn by Marilyn George. Further discussion followed regarding
the wording of the motion.
The motion was remade by Marilyn George to recommend approval to the City Council
as presented by staff, with the following changes:
* A sentence. being added to Section 2, Condition 4 which reads "Access to Parcel
.A-1 shall be permitted from S.R. 50 if the residential development precludes
access from Hancock Road".
The last sentence of Section 3, Condition 5 being changed to read "If signalization
at S.R. 50 and Hancock Road is determined necessary pursuant to impacts of the
development, the developers pro rata share will be borne by the permittee/
