REPORT ON CITY WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM. City Manager George
Forbes introduced Clermont Utilities Director Preston Davis, who
presented information concerning the water moratorium recently imposed.
He then discussed planned improvements to the system, including the new
storage tank at Bloxam and Highland Avenues, which will contain a sat-
ellite fire station. Mr. Davis also reported on the City waste treat-
ment facilities and landspreading alternatives.
PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATIONS. City Manager George Forbes
announced that the City would ask for applications from people inter-
ested in filling the opening on the P & Z Board caused by the resignation
of Laura Cook.
SIDEWALK ON EAST AVENUE AND NEWSLETTER. In answer to a question
by Ruth Alice Ray, Mr. Forbes stated that sidewalks on East Avenue will
be completed after water lines are installed. He also mentioned that a
City of Clermont Newsletter asking for citizens' comments on methods of
garbage pick-up is available at City Hall.
OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS. In response to citizen com-
plaints, a discussion of off-street parking ordinances was held. It was
pointed out that the number of cars parked at a residence is not re-
stricted, but that recreational vehicles must be parked behind the re-
quired building setback line. A concerned citizen was in attendance,
and Mr. Forbes assured him that he would contact the owner of the prop-
erty in question, investigate on a regular basis for any violation of the
City Code, and ask the City Attorney what options the City has in this
case.
OMBUDSMAN COMMITTEE. Nick Jones suggested the formation of an
Ombudsman Committee to investigate complaints until guidelines are
forthcoming for Code Enforcement Boards giving them powers to enforce
municipal ordinances.
FUTURE PLANNING. Jack Sargent urged that an alternate route
be developed to ease traffic problems on Lake Shore Drive, particularly
between Hook Street and Harder Road. He suggested that the topography
of the area be studied for an alternate traffic route.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
