Wheeler, P.E., City Engineer DATE: July 12, 2005 RE: Approval of the Construction & Maintenance Agreement for the Oaks of Windermere Overflow Pipe ISSUE The Oaks of Windermere, a neighboring community to Ocoee is experiencing a stormwater flooding condition again this year. The HOA is requesting that Ocoee allow the installation of an overflow pipe to allow their stormwater system to discharge excess water through the City and on to Lake Down. Staff has negotiated a Construction and Maintenance Agreement for the Oaks of Windermere Overflow Pipe. Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the Agreement and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Construction and Maintenance Agreement Oaks of Windermere Overflow Pipe. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The Oaks of Windermere subdivision is located in Orange County at the eastern end of Moore Road. The development was designed, permitted, and constructed under Orange County development standards and according to St. Johns River Water Management District regulations. The development's stormwater system is a landlocked system (ie: it has no outfall). The development has experienced flooding over the past several years, either from regular rainfalls or from the hurricanes of last year. The City allowed the Home Owners Association and/or its representatives to pump out its stormwater system and discharge it into the stormwater system on Maguire Road and drain through the City's system and on to Lake Down during the hurricanes of last year. The development's original design engineer has designed a overflow pipe that will drain south in the 7th Avenue right-of-way to the Orange County ditch that parallels Thornbrooke Road and flows west to the wetlands and onto the Maguire Road system and on to Lake Down. The overflow pipe will pick excess water above the 100- year flood elevation. The Oaks of Windermere stormwater system will retain the 100-year storm event and discharge water for a greater event or from multiple events. See attached map. City staff and our consultant that has designed the 7th Avenue road improvements have worked closely with Madden Engineering, Inc. and the Oaks of Windermere HOA on the design of the overflow pipe and the permitting through Orange County, St. Johns River Water Management District, and the City of Ocoee. As a part of the permitting process staff has asked that a Construction & Maintenance Agreement for the overflow pipe be executed and in place prior to the start of construction. The agreement sets forth conditions for the construction and the maintenance of the overflow pipe into the future. Staff is continuing to negotiate this agreement and will present it at the City Commission meeting. Because of the emergency pumping that the HOA is currently performing, staff is working to accommodate the HOA. I i W ,a f. la o I ii ta 2 0 3: �O ill 01 Z v..
