Commissioners directed staff to add the issue to a future agenda and asked that the Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) be invited to discuss enforcement options and inter‑agency coordination.

Commissioners noted the multi-jurisdictional nature of enforcement on Silver Glen Run — where Lake, Marion and Volusia counties share shoreline and marine-patrol responsibilities — and said they preferred a coordinated approach that identifies how county marine patrols, FWC and neighboring counties could support noise, safety and boater-conduct enforcement. Staff said they would reach out to the Sheriff’s Office, FWC and other counties and return with recommendations for a pilot enforcement approach and any necessary ordinance language.

Why it matters: Silver Glen Run is a popular recreational waterway. Persistent noise and behavioral complaints can affect public safety, wildlife enforcement and resident quality of life. The board’s request begins a process to evaluate enforcement capacity and potential ordinance changes.

Next steps: Staff will schedule a presentation with the Sheriff’s Office and FWC, discuss coordination with Marion and Volusia counties, and return with recommended enforcement strategies and an agenda item for potential code or ordinance changes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BCC - Regular Board Meeting and Zoning - August 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners asked staff to place Silver Glen Run noise and enforcement on an upcoming agenda and requested input from the Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on enforcement options and coordination with neighboring counties.","taxTitle","Lake County, Florida","taxId",4691,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491316,"Commission approves two Parks & Recreation appointments, tables District 1 choice until full board",841,5046000,5887000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5535031-7fdfa6bce33e2d9442cd4b9d519095fc&start=5046&end=5887","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5535031-7fdfa6bce33e2d9442cd4b9d519095fc/thumbnail_5046000.jpg","/articles/6491316/Lake-County/Florida/Commission-approves-two-Parks-Recreation-appointments-tables-District-1-choice-until-full-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491316-ef361ab2bb16f900017ab98524d6aa97/orig.mp4?Expires=1770648662&Signature=P~AAfjezIfgH4vG8qD6pEb0SXDQ80-vywJsgrBKJI0WE~74dyua5y4bLdjMkONvgkAtzzoGHp7J62QcS4ivW-fOIQrF1fauOZ2kM72ucCjH-YGsi4ZYA4t7iZrlpXOEB2F~9EUP7XpuH~4f9PXIn4avYu0ViLZxaScR~yyNmY0uotQqIpqZhpfl5mTeH9HYAeJ292Cxuvm1D6IfJdVl~lBoiA2bL-puQjyw1gd3XU7tAULS67BmwgYG7D6~cWeCFmLP~iFLHBHoAEueX7XxYPs9qJIpqBK0JUNCASxnDWbOq3Gq6FrMKhZ84hQmCBNbmlH0xVGooDIMBOrRzrkO6EA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake County Board of County Commissioners on Aug. 5 approved three recommended members for the Parks, Recreation and Trails Advisory Board but rescinded one appointment vote for District 1 and postponed the District 1 appointment until the next meeting when the full commission is expected to be present.

Commissioner Smith (liaison to the board) recommended Hugh Gravatt, David Klutz and Patrick Long. The board approved David Klutz and Patrick Long and agreed to delay the District 1 appointment so commissioners could review applications and defer to the district commissioner’s preference. Commissioners described two approaches used in previous practice — district deference (each commissioner recommends a candidate for their district seat) and liaison-driven selection — and chose to wait for a full board to finalize the District 1 seat. The item was added to the Aug. 12 agenda for final action.

Why it matters: Advisory-board appointments shape who provides formal recommendations to the commission on parks, trails and recreational land acquisition. The board’s decision to defer the District 1 appointment signals preference for broader buy-in and a desire to let the full commission consider the contested selection.

Next steps: Staff will place the District 1 appointment on the Aug. 12 agenda for final action; the two approved appointees will be seated per the normal administrative process.","The board approved two appointments to the Parks, Recreation and Trails Advisory Board and postponed a contested District 1 appointment until the Aug. 12 meeting when a full commission will be present.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491321,"County to contest Property Appraiser’s 28.8% budget request; board to send concerns to Department of Revenue and appeal if approved",289,4607000,4896000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5535031-7fdfa6bce33e2d9442cd4b9d519095fc&start=4607&end=4896","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5535031-7fdfa6bce33e2d9442cd4b9d519095fc/thumbnail_4607000.jpg","/articles/6491321/Lake-County/Florida/County-to-contest-Property-Appraisers-288-budget-request-board-to-send-concerns-to-Department-of-Revenue-and-appeal-if-approved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491321-edba42e6bd8880ee2aac52e89e16eab9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770648662&Signature=JEZObDcpjht5JB4CuM4bitYk4UV-pvfT~Xc4UcTibUexzRbBEOLE6RpPmhruVuqNdbzRQdDtL-drAoxNT9lklEorVkDfgfPvnvZEju6Vclhsjqc6fOtCzK2kotquo8KzrWG5JdOcE8eNHHUdA3GWUnxue3~fbMlX6b-IG-JcWJEbzVjNB5xG4d8~PIknZjLdB7AY6eE5LFdkb5Y~CgjRdcJgl80Z3nTiwM0zUY0eaaGTAB2Q2UPQJiumWqyNxODq971Mv8r0p0iHc3TUg2ZWLhf4pyAzLtH451Ige7OSrbUAqVRUerh~q-8iApY3pPGqIDcsONXdTthD55CWly9mPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lake County commissioners on Aug. 5 directed staff to draft and send a letter to the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) expressing concerns about the Lake County Property Appraiser’s proposed fiscal year 2025–26 budget, which staff said is a 28.8% increase over the current fiscal year and seeks ten additional positions.

County Manager Jennifer Barker told the board that Property Appraiser Mr. Jordan declined to present the request in the public board meeting but offered to meet with commissioners individually. Commissioners said a constitutional officer proposing a sizeable staffing and budget increase should explain the rationale in public. Commissioners asked staff to include concerns about the magnitude of the increase and transparency in the letter to DOR; staff noted DOR must receive comments by Aug. 8 and will finalize its review by Aug. 15.

The board voted to send the letter immediately and to prepare an appeal to the Florida Cabinet if DOR approves the request. The county attorney and manager said staff would assess whether specialized counsel is needed to present an appeal; they will proceed with in-house handling unless they identify a need for outside assistance.

Why it matters: Constitutional-officer budgets are funded by the county; substantial increases can affect county spending and millage decisions. The board’s action starts an administrative review and possible appeal process that could affect the final operating budget for the property-appraiser office.

Next steps: Staff will prepare the letter outlining the board’s concerns for immediate transmission to the DOR; if DOR approves the requested budget the board will file an appeal with the Florida Cabinet.","The Board instructed staff to send a letter outlining concerns about a proposed 28.8% increase to the Property Appraiser’s FY25–26 budget and to appeal to the Florida Cabinet if the Department of Revenue approves the request.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491326,"Board to send joint objection letter on Mineola annexation; Eustace and Mount Dora annexations reported",194,4026000,4220000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5535031-7fdfa6bce33e2d9442cd4b9d519095fc&start=4026&end=4220","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5535031-7fdfa6bce33e2d9442cd4b9d519095fc/thumbnail_4026000.jpg","/articles/6491326/Lake-County/Florida/Board-to-send-joint-objection-letter-on-Mineola-annexation-Eustace-and-Mount-Dora-annexations-reported","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491326-f7bdb0f68a75c25f0fa1e7b7bfaf931e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770648662&Signature=ONb4yJ~mQYGEXSQl2plys2NvZw1rGvR-90mfz7fLEgWdbCzsp3q8OdKTmvmHp0bv55tO1EOZP4Cl8mmyS7f7da~bAxEhjjVTdk2QdzpbOQ4HKeRqwR~M1CHO9OOstRG0g1bpDGHCoAtEzn4R4isgYIaPzlrt2kRIuUf~hSUzR1T4p1UlK1rYYKjG7WYGuVEPTqI04h-26FrDtG4FKIjM5bQj1YPE~Mek0SBXlrSrX8hUQ3tlQu2g7hN4eXYMl3e7LAWcrDCeru6D9VXELDMzKqqD3j-yliFvTTaS1xvwv9A0CCuyWbyd8RbYRLkUMZzaF~1xGp0hLO3c5WYqdzSYlQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County planning staff told the Lake County Board of County Commissioners on Aug. 5 that the City of Mineola notified the county of plans to annex more than 200 acres south of the Florida Turnpike near Scrub Jay Lane and Sullivan Road. Staff said Mineola’s conceptual plan would change the site from the county’s rural future land use (one dwelling unit per five net acres) to a mixed-use municipal land use that allows significantly higher density — staff contrasted a county allowance of roughly 273 units under rural policy with Mineola’s proposal for approximately 1,057 units at 4.3 dwelling units per acre.

Commissioners expressed concern about transportation, stormwater, flood study requirements and internal connectivity. Lake County Public Works submitted extensive comments on Sullivan Road, Scrub Jay Lane, connectivity and stormwater. Several commissioners favored preparing a letter of objection to Mineola’s proposal that would be presented on behalf of the full board and sent to the district commissioner and the municipality; the board asked that signatures be collected for a letter to be transmitted quickly.

Staff also reported that the City of Eustis (referred to in the hearing as Eustace) proposed to annex about 12.8 acres at the southeast corner of County Road 44 and 44A; public-works staff requested that any future development incorporate a planned trail alignment. The board noted the parcel is adjacent to existing Spring Ridge subdivision lots and that Eustis uses form-based code.

Finally, staff said the City of Mount Dora intends to annex about 20 acres for an approved subdivision (The Hills of Mount Dora) of roughly 80 units; Mount Dora will provide water and sewer and Mount Dora may take responsibility for Roby Avenue from US 441 to Mount Enos Way when the annexation is finalized. The board did not object to the Mount Dora notice and noted the subdivision is under construction.

Why it matters: The Mineola proposal would substantially increase permitted housing density compared with the county’s rural land-use designation and could require significant roadway and stormwater investments. The board’s joint letter is designed to register county concerns about infrastructure, connectivity and the preservation of rural character.

Next steps: Staff will draft a letter reflecting the board’s concerns for all five commissioners’ signatures and circulate it promptly to the municipality and the district commissioner; public-works and planning staff will continue coordination with municipal counterparts on Eustis and Mount Dora notices.","Lake County staff briefed commissioners on three municipal annexation proposals.

County Planning and Zoning Director Mike Fitzgerald told the board the Hartle Road application would change about 10.5 acres from regional office/urban low density to urban low density and rezone the property to a medium suburban R4 district; the developer’s concept plan shows 26 single-family lots at about 2.5 dwelling units per net acre with 25% open space and a proposed minimum lot width of 75 feet. Commissioners voiced concerns about compatibility with adjacent lots, traffic, school concurrency and whether the City of Clermont should process the project because the site would rely on Clermont for water and sewer. The applicant said the city had refused to process an earlier submittal and that Clermont requires at least 75-foot lot widths to grant a utility service agreement. The board voted to table the Hartle Road items until the applicant can provide more documentation and coordination with city staff.

The board approved an amendment to the Bella Colina planned-unit development ordinance (Ord. 2020-6) that repositions certain allowed uses within the PUD, converts a neighborhood-commercial tract to two residential lots, converts two residential lots to expand the clubhouse, transfers about 2.5 acres of open space to neighborhood commercial while preserving minimum open-space requirements, adds an entry ground sign with a reduced 5-foot right-of-way setback, and allows irrigation wells at three locations for the golf course. Staff said the irrigation wells have Saint Johns permitting (St. Johns River Water Management District) and water and sewer are provided by a community system; the board approved the amendment 4–0.

The board approved a rezoning of about 6.17 acres in the Groveland area from urban residential R6 to agriculture to formalize general agricultural uses on a parcel developed with a single-family residence and a livestock barn. Staff noted the rezoning is a downzoning and that the city of Groveland provided a letter of support; the board approved the rezoning 4–0.

The board also approved a conditional-use permit on roughly 19.5 acres for Herterberg Schwine Farms to continue hog production, slaughtering, processing and on-site retail sales. Staff said the parcel has an agricultural exemption; the operation is inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Lake County Water Resource Management tests the well water. Commissioners and members of the public pressed applicants on setbacks, potential water recharge/connectivity in the Green Swamp, odor and operational scale. Owners Heidi Adams and Shane Adams described pens that keep animals confined, said animals do not free-range toward nearby wetlands, and said current on-site practices (sand-based pens, feed additives to reduce fly larva and regular USDA inspections) reduce odor and flies. The board incorporated a staff-recommended condition providing Lake County Code Enforcement authority to conduct two required annual site inspections under the conditional-use permit; staff told the board it had not added a hard numeric cap on the number of animals but left any numeric limit to board discretion. After debate the board approved the conditional-use permit.

Votes at a glance
- Consent: Tabs 1 and 5 — approved (motion passed)
- Tabs 2 and 3 (Hartle Road: future land use change and companion rezoning) — tabled until applicant provides additional materials and coordination with City of Clermont
- Tab 4 (Bella Colina PUD amendment; Ord. 2020-6 replacement) — approved 4–0
- Tab 6 (Rupert Neuren rezoning, 6.17 acres to agriculture) — approved 4–0
- Tab 7 (Herterberg Schwine Farms conditional-use permit for hog farm) — approved (board adopted requirement for two annual code-enforcement inspections; no numeric cap specified)

Why it matters: The decisions preserve the development-review process for the Hartle Road site while approving amendments and permits that will affect land use, open space and agricultural activity in Lake County. The Hartle Road tabling reflects unresolved coordination with the City of Clermont and outstanding questions about lot size, public utilities and traffic. The hog-farm permit prompted detailed public comment and a condition giving county enforcement staff routine inspection authority.

Background and next steps: The applicant for Hartle Road said they will engage further with staff and the City of Clermont and will return with supplemental materials; the Bella Colina amendment will proceed under the new PUD ordinance language; the hog-farm permit will be subject to the two annual site inspections and any code-enforcement follow-up if inspections find violations.","The Lake County Board of County Commissioners on Aug. 5 tabled a proposed Hartle Road land-use and rezoning request and approved a Bella Colina PUD amendment, a 6.17-acre rezoning to agriculture and a conditional-use permit for a family hog farm with inspection conditions.","actionData","errors"]
