Antonio Fabre, AICP, Senior Planner THROUGH: Russ Wagner, AICP, Community Development Director ~ DATE: September 23, 2005 RE: Appraisal Services for Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority Parcels Parcels 26-105 & 62-129 ISSUE: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners authorize appraisal services on two (2) parcels of land to be acquired from the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority? BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION: Parcel 62-105 - The City of Ocoee has petitioned the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority to acquire approximately 2.69 acres of land along SR 429. The City has requested this land to facilitate a future roadway that will eventually link Roper Parkway with Bowness Road. Specifically, the subject property is located on the north side of Roper Parkway and west of Maguire Road. The property is identified by the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority parcel 10 # 62-105. The purpose of the land acquisition is to implement objectives established in the City of Ocoee Comprehensive Plan adopted October 1, 2002; particularly, the Roper Parkway extension as it is identified in the Recommended Roadway Improvements section of the Transportation Element. The ultimate goal is to provide improved accessibility to the growing industrial and distribution activities in west Ocoee north of SR 50. The Expressway Authority purposely left this remnant parcel out of the original Western Expressway construction to permit this parallel roadway extension. Parcel 62-129 - The City of Ocoee has also petitioned Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority for approximately 12.97 acres of surplus land along SR 429. The City has requested this land to facilitate an environmental educational park that would also function for wetland restoration and drainage enhancement. Specifically, the subject property is located on the north side of Pine Street and south of the Crown Point Woods Subdivision. The property is identified by the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority parcel 10 # 62-129. The nature of this request is to create some type of environmental educational park. The property itself has uplands and wetlands that are associated with the drainage basin for Lake Apopka, which makes this site a good candidate for a drainage enhancement and wetland restoration project. This environmental educational park would ultimately feature benches, walkways and informational sign age. To this end, the City has approximately $550,000 available from the St. John Water Management District (SJWMD) for this wetland mitigation program. Staff has consulted with PEC (Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc.) and SJWMD. All have agreed on the potential of the site for some sort of wetland restoration/mitigation parkland. The City has received acknowledgement letters on July 11, 2005 for both parcels of land from the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority. In order to continue with this acquisition, the City needs to obtain appraisals for both parcels of land using Expressway Authority approved appraisers. The City has received a quote from Pinel & Carpenter Inc. Real Estate Appraisers for their services (attached for your review). Upon receipt of the appraisals, the City anticipates entering into Purchase Agreements for both properties subject to final approval by the Mayor and City Commissioners in accordance with Expressway Authority Rule 4-1. Funds to purchase these properties are available from City's Road Impact Fee Account and a grant from the St. John's River Water Management District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests authorization of the expenditure of Road Impact Fee Account (Parcel 62-105 = $2,500) and Recreational Park Impact Fee Account (Parcel 62-129 = $3,500) for the services identified in the attached work order in the amount of $6,000.00 for the valuation services of both parcels of land.

The fee quotes are for two separate reports as it is anticipated that one of the parcels will have a highest and best use for a low-density residential use and the second parcel will have a highest and best use for industrial. If it is the City's desire to have these properties appraised in a single appraisal report rather than two separate appraisals the total fee of $7,300 can be reduced to $6,000. Please advise as to your preference regarding the reporting format to be used on this appraisal assignment. alter N.
