(407)656-2322 CITY MANAGER Of GOO' ELLIS SHAPIRO MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners FROM: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager DATE: May 11, 1995 RE: STATUS OF WOFFORD ROAD - SPECIAL EXCEPTION/CHURCH Approximately 90 to 120 days ago we came to the City Commission with a Special Exception request from the Winter Garden Seventh-day Adventist Church to conduct a church school. As you may recall, upon discussion by the City Commission it was determined that the horrible condition of Wofford Road made it almost impossible for our emergency service vehicles to provide care to the church in case of fire or medical emergency. Due to the inability to get to the church by the emergency service access we advised the City Commission that a large liability would occur if a special exception was granted under these conditions. The church and the City Commission basically determined that if the roadway was improved by doing some drainage work to Wofford Road and replacing the road material, thereby making the road passable during wet conditions by May 1, the special exception could be granted. At that time there was a significant difference of opinion as to what the cost would be to do this work. The church engineer estimated the cost at approximately $11,000, while the City Engineer cautioned that the price could be as high as twice that amount. About 6 weeks ago we heard from the Winter Garden Seventh-day Adventist Church that they had in fact sold the church to the Apostolic Worship Center, and that during cost investigation of the road improvements by the church, it was determined that in fact the $10,000 set aside for the project would not be accomplish the roadway improvements discussed earlier this year. After being advised of this, we attempted to figure out if there was any other way we could get emergency vehicles to this church on an improved substance if the rains came and created further degradation of Wofford Road. It was decided that it would be possible for an emergency vehicle easement to be received from the Auto Auction that would give us a method of bringing emergency service vehicles through the public parking lot of the Auto Auction on an improved paved surface to a gate directly across Wofford Road from the church for an estimated cost of under $10,000. CY- IS We have done the necessary surveying for this project and established a cost at $8,000- $9,000 to pave this area and make the safe connection to the church. The Auto Auction has agreed and the Fire Chief has no problem with this easement. (See attached memo from Jim Shira.) Also, for your review is a letter from Frank Thompson, Pastor of the Apostolic Worship Center, agreeing to improving the easement through the Auto Auction with the stipulation that any additional money not spent on this improvement would be used to purchase material to make grading improvements to Wofford Road. Prior to expending any City funds such as legal expense for this easement, I respectfully request the City Commission's input as to whether they will agree to this method of solving emergency service to the church. Staff can recommend this option if you agree. Respectful y S ;mitted, ES3:fdg:140 Attachments CC: Jim Shira, City Engineer •/ Don Flippen, Building Official MEMORANDUM DATE: April 20, 1995 TO: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager FROM: James W. Shira, P.E. City Engineer/Utiliti i ector SUBJECT: Florida Auto Auction - Access Easement to Wofford Road I have received the completed survey depicting the route of this proposed easement. There will be approximately 180 feet of this easement to be paved. This paving will cost approximately $8,000.00 to$9,000.00. This assumes that there is no cost for the property to be obtained from the auto auction. Please advise if these is any further action I need to take at this time. JWS/jbw It' .9-APfi' . rn al1 TO: ELLIS SHAPIRO CITY MANAGER,OCOEE FLORIDA FROM: FRANK E. THOMPSON PASTOR, APOSTOLIC WO SHIP CENTER 940 WOFFORD ROAD,'OCOEE,FLORIDA SUBJECT: SPECIAL EXCEPTION DATE: MAY 10,1995 This letter is in response to our meeting on Thursday regarding the special exception for our property use. The city along with the cooperation of the Florida Auto Auction has agreed to allow access to emergency vehicles through the Auction property. As it was stated in our meeting this access would require construction of a portion of the roadway on their property. It was further stated the possible cost to complete this job is $7,000 to 8,000 . It was also stated that the process (with final approval from the city commission)would take until July '95. We are happy with this decision and with the cooperation of the Auction in this matter. We would however,like to ensure the following: The total cost to complete this project shall not exceed $ 10,000. The projected costs of$8000, shall be aggressively approached with at least 3 bids on work to be performed It shall be understood that all funds we have remaining at the conclusion of this project shall be used for the purchase of materials/labor to improve Wofford road and shall have the cooperation of the City of Ocoee with these improvements ie grading of materials etc We appreciate the efforts that have gone into making this project a success and know that the community will appreciate the benefits brought to it by this day care facility.
