• This combin d meetin of the Plannin and Zonin Commission and the
e g g g
Parks and Recreation Board was called to order by Parks and Recreation Chairman
Bob Wear at 5:40 p.m. on November 4, 1981 in City Council Chambers.
ROLL CALL. Attending: Planning and Zoning Commission members Henry
Czech, Ann Ritch, Adelbert Evans, Jack Sargent, and Louise Relyea. Parks and
Recreation Board members Bob Wear, Ed Pauley, Edmund Klimas, Barrie Rakow, Don
Smith and Donnie Wilson.
Absent: Planning and Zoning members Ruth Alice Ray, Bob

HAUNTED HOUSE. The City Manager thanked Barrie Rakow and Sue Mecan-
ick for organizing and operating the successful Fright Night haunted house on
Halloween. Barrie and Sue presented checks of $150.00 each to the Parks and
Recreation Fund and to the South Lake Players, represented by Georgette Miller.
It was reported that about 300 children had «ttended Fright Night and it was a
great success.
LONG RANGE RECREATION PLANNING. There was an informal report and
discussion about short-term objectives named in a 1979 report on recreational
needs in the area. Most of these objectives have been accomplished since the
report was made.
Further discussion centered on additional needs. Suggestions were
made concerning handball and racquetball courts, swimming pool, and bike trail.
It was pointed out that no one facility can meet the needs of all citizens, and
that the age range of our population makes that obvious.
Louise Relyea suggested that a bandshell be constructed on City prop-
erty behind the old Library building as a part of Clermont's Centennial Cele-
bration, which will take place in 1984. It was suggested that the question be
referred to the Centennial Committee, which is still to be appointed.
Adelbert Evans requested that future lists of recreational facilities
prepared by the City or the County not include facilities which are not open to
the public.
Jack Sargent recommended that planning of recreational facilities take
into account growth. He pointed out that future subdivisions in the City must
dedicate five percent of their land, or money in lieu of land, to be applied
to future recreational development, so that growth will pay its own way.
Chairman Wear discussed the fact that the City of Clermont does not
have the funds to provide recreational facilities for all of South Lake County,
as now is the case, and suggested that the County be requested to take respon-
sibility for its fair share of the recreational needs of South Lake County.
Both Boards agreed that the County should be contacted in this regard.
After much discussion, Mr. Forbes recommended that since there seemed
to be no concensus as to the priorities for consideration by the Boards, that
the members each prepare a list of the five items they consider to be of top
priority for the next Parks and Recreation Board meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
