CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS/FIRE DISTRICTS

Mr. Danny Miley, Chief of Woodlea Volunteer Fire Department, addressed the Board and informed them that the State Charter had been received by the Secretary of State for Woodlea Volunteer Fire Department. Mr. Miley stated that a Barbecue and Rummage Sale had been tentatively scheduled as a fund raising event for June 12, 1982, and expressed concern over the portion of the proposed lease agreement concerning concessions and the possibility of completing the lease agreement and obtaining a Conditional Use Permit and Building Permit prior to the June 12^th events.

On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board authorized the Planning and Zoning Department to assist Mr. Miley in obtaining the Conditional Use Permit in the most expeditious manner possible.

On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board granted permission for the fund raising event, specifically a barbecue and rummage sale, tentatively scheduled for June 12, 1982. Mr. Miley was informed that it was the responsibility of the Fire Department to conduct the event in an orderly manner regarding traffic and other conditions created by such an event.

Considerable discussion occurred regarding the portion of the lease agreement concerning concessions, with specific concern expressed on weekly Bingo tentatively being considered by the Fire Department. Mr. Miley informed the Board that area residents had been very supportive of the Fire Department and should complaints be made on any fund raising events that he would personally assure that these complaints would be resolved with the support of the area residents.

On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board approved that language be incorporated into the proposed lease agreement that normal, legal fund raising events would be allowed to take place on the grounds provided that said activities do not create a public nuisance or hazard to the citizens of Lake County.

PUBLIC HEARING CUP #135-5 - Revocation of CUP James G. Hull

Mike Willett, Director of Development and Public Works, addressed the Board and gave a brief background of this case. Mr. Willett presented memorandums from his office and the County Attorney's Office concerning this case and explained the exhibits submitted by his office.

Mr. Bill Brookfield, representing the petitioner, addressed the Board and stated he was prepared to submit a check to the Board in the amount of $27,000.00 for the required road improvements should this CUP be revoked.

Mr. Ray Biernacki, Attorney representing property owners of Astor Forest Campsites, confirmed by the reading of a legal description, the portion of the road to be upgraded in accordance with County regulations.

On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board approved the revocation of CUP #135-5, approved to accept a check in the amount of $27,000.00 from Mr. Brookfield as designated above and approved the recommendation of the Division of Development and Public Works as outlined below in their memorandum to the Board dated May 18, 1982:

The Department has reviewed all the known drawings on

Astor Forest Campsites and has met with Roy Barth of Marion Engineering, and has been allowed to review the maps and files they have for Astor Forest Campsites.

At the meeting we will present the four versions of

these drawings; however, copies are not available at

this time. We have tentatively labeled these drawings as:

Exhibit "A" - This is essentially the whole area

divided into lots. The original plan was prepared

approximately in 1962, however, this drawing is

not dated.

Exhibit "B" A copy of the sales plat indicating the area south of Possum not being broken into lots because it did not meet the Lake County Zoning Ordinance. It is dated approximately December 1967.

Exhibit "C" - A drawing showing the entire area platted

except the area south of Possum. Dated and revised in March of 1969.

Exhibit "D" - A drawing revised in December 1970, and being used by the Lake County Planning Department for the issuance of permits. It shows not only the area south of Possum. but the area surrounding the Marina and the area along Mink not being divided

The Department recommends that the County Exhibit "D" as revised in December, 1970, the map marked Exhibit "C" (revised March following specific blocks and lots:

Blocks 93, 94, 95, 97 Lots 1 through into lots. continue to utilize with recognition of 1970) as to the 7; Blocks 98, 99, 100 Lots 7 through 20; and Block 91 Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12 and 13. Exhibit "C" (March 1969), due to an error, indicates Lots 1 through 7 as Block 98, this should be indicated as Block 97 Lots 1 through 7 and will be indicated as Block 97 on the composite map. The Department makes this recommendation for the following reasons : 1. The best information available indicates that Exhibit "C" was the map available in August, 1969, when Lake County adopted Subdivision Regulations. Therefore, under the practice at that time it would have been the map of record for issuing permits in Astor Forest Campsites.

The records of the Lake County Board of County Commissioners indicate that they had only grand-fathered in Astor Forest Campsites Section 19, Town-ship 15, Range 28; Section 24, Township 15, Range 27; and Section 19, Township 25, Range 28.

These sections that we are recommending be added

fall within the above description.

2. Exhibit "A" indicates that the area that was originally shown as lots was deleted because it did not meet Zoning Regulations. This refers to 1966 Zoning Regulations and they do not meet existing Zoning Regulations.

The parcels in the center do not reappear on the 1970 map and Marion Engineering has no map done after the 1970 Exhibit "D" map. Therefore, this map would have been available in 1971 when the zoning was changed to require five acres for agricultural land, and therefore, could not be grandfathered in for lot size as well as Subdivision Regulations.

3. It would appear to be more equitable to acknowledge map "C" for these specific lots since it was in existence immediately prior to County Subidivision Regulations. No reason for the later changes have been given and the County's policy has been to grand-father in what exists at the date of Ordinance changes.

Under present County regulations and policies, the developer is totally responsible for bringing the road to his development up to County clay road standards, and the roads within his development up to County paved road standards.

Discussion occurred and action was postponded concerning the staff's recommendation that the County consider the utilization of the applicant's offer of $27,000.00, plus up to 40% of County money and a lien assessment on the bordering property owners to bring the road up to paved road standards.

Mr. Willett was directed to bring figures back to the Board later in the day.

CETA DEPARTMENT/CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS

Mr. Jim Flowers addressed the Board regarding the

dis-allowances resulting from an audit of the contracts with the State of Florida in 1978-79. Mr. Flowers informed the Board a number of expenditures would possibly be allowed by amendment of the contract at this time.

CETA DEPARTMENT/LAWS & LEGISLATION

Mr. Flowers reported to the Board on the current Congressional CETA Replacement Legislation.
