5. Approval of Development Agreement Establishing a Temporary Approval for an
Automobile Parking Lot—Mike Dinkel with Gatorbruno Properties; Project No: SS-
2019-001. (City Planner Rumer)
The Subject property is located on Maguire Road just north of the CSX Railroad tracks and south of Franklin
Street. The parcel is located within the Gateway Character Area of the SR 429 Overlay. The parcel contains
one (1) existing metal industrial building. The total parcel acreage is 3.63 acres and is zoned I-1. Access to
the site is via a driveway located on Maguire Road.The applicant requests to use the property for a temporary
use of automobile parking lot for a period of three(3)years. The applicant would use the property as is with
the following improvements: 200 15-gallon podocarpus at 40-inches tall and 25-inches wide would be
planted in order to shield Maguire Road; a six (6) foot black chain-link fence would be installed with a 20-
foot rolling gate; proper irrigation for the plantings would be installed. A Development Agreement, which
will provide for the terms of the approval,will be recorded.
6. Approval of the Ocoee Reserve Subdivision Plat. (Development Engineer Womack)
The Ocoee Reserve Subdivision is located on the south side of Silver Star Road, approximately 1,200 feet
east of Johio Shores Road and 900 feet west of Good Homes Road at 8600 Silver Star Road. The subject site
is currently identified as Parcel Number 15-22-28-4716-00-142 and is approximately 10.91 acres in size. This
plat is required in order to create 43 lots for the residential subdivision, associated right-of-ways for public
streets, and tracts for open space and recreation. The plat also includes easements for emergency vehicle
access, drainage, and other public utilities. The Ocoee Reserve Subdivision is platting prior to receiving a
Certificate of Completion; therefore, the developer is typically required to provide a Surety covering the
outstanding proposed improvements as approved in the Final Site Plan for Ocoee Reserve (FKA Silver Star
PD). However, the subdivision is nearly complete and is in the process of completing the final items to be
issued a Certificate of Completion for the site work. The Developer will be providing the City with a
Maintenance Agreement with Letter of Credit covering the public improvements in the near future. It is
expected that the Certificate of Completion for the site work will be issued within the next month. Therefore,
a Platting Surety will not be required.
7. Approval of Terminating the City's Mental Health Services Contract with
Heartspoken/Gilstrap Counseling, Inc., Effective May 1, 2019. (Human Resources
Director Williford)
The City's Health insurance agent, The Crowne Group, is recommending the termination of the City's
contract with Heartspoken/Gilstrap Counseling, Inc., due to the implementation by Florida Blue of a
capitation program on Mental Health and Substance Abuse coverage on group health plans like the City's.
8. Approval of 2018/2019 Budget Vehicle/Equipment Purchase. (Public Works
Director Krug)
The City traditionally purchases vehicles and equipment through various competitively bid annual contracts.
Public Works has researched pricing and has found the Florida Sheriffs Association and the Florida
Department of Management Services continue to provide the lowest competitively bid pricing for vehicles
and equipment utilizing competitively bid contracts. The following vehicles and equipment are incorporated
in the approved budget for purchase: One (1) Ford Escape 4WD @ $21,803.00 (Utilities —New); One (1)
Ford F-350 4x4 with Service Box @ $37,365.00 (Utilities — Replacement); One (1) Ford F-350 4x4 with
Service Box @ $37,365.00 (Utilities — Replacement); One (1) Ford F-350 4x4 HD with Service Box @
$46,465.00 (Utilities - Replacement); One (1) Ford F-150 4x4 Pick Up @ $23,476.00 (Utilities -
Replacement); One (1) Toro Workman MDX Utility Vehicle @ $10,944.91 (Waste Water - New). Public
Works recommends approval to purchase the above vehicles and equipment based on published pricing for
the 2018/2019 term contracts from the Florida Sheriffs Association and the Florida Department of
Management Services.

9. Approval of Change Order No. 2 to Extend the Period of Construction for the
Lakeshore Center Expansion Project. (Support Services Director Butler)
The contractor working on the Lakeshore Center Expansion project, The Collage Companies,has requested a
two-month time extension to complete the project without liquidated damages. There have been numerous
sources of project delay, ranging from issues with the construction plans to subcontractors not honoring their
agreements. The most recent serious issue was a delay in receiving the raw materials needed to fabricate the
roof panels. Since the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) was set based on the February 14, 2018, 95%
construction documents,the Central Florida area has experienced a 25%increase in construction costs. Some
high-demand subcontractors simply left the project rather than honor their original price commitments. A
prime example of the current construction market was the initial absence of responsive bids for the adjacent
Lakefront Park Improvements — Phase 1 work, which required a second bidding process in order to get
multiple offers. The delay in completing the Lakeshore Center Expansion project actually works to the
advantage of the City in that it keeps the contractor onsite in order to better coordinate the work of these two
projects within the City Hall Campus. The time extension also recognizes that the project was originally
conceived as requiring 11 months for construction, with a starting date in mid-March 2018 and substantial
completion in mid-February 2019. However,the Notice to Proceed was not issued until May 17,2018,almost
two months later due to a conflict with underground powerlines. This reduced the contract time to nine
months. The revised completion dates restores the original 11-month time period. No facility rentals are
impacted by the time extension. The adjacent Lakefront Park Improvements project will actually have a more
significant impact on event scheduling.
10. Approval of Resolution to Establish the General Purpose and Bylaws for the Ocoee
Youth Council(OYC) by Amending Resolution No. 2019-002. (Commissioner Oliver)
Article II, Section C-8.0 of the Charter of the City of Ocoee, Florida,provides that the City of Ocoee has the
power to create boards, commissions and committees to advise and assist the City in carrying out municipal
functions. At the Regular City Commission Meeting held on January 15, 2019, the City Commission
approved Resolution 2019-002 establishing the Ocoee Youth Council (OYC). The resolution adopted was to
create and establish the composition of the OYC. The City Commission was advised that by separate
Resolution the general purpose and bylaws would be brought back before them for consideration and
adoption.

SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE—PUBLIC HEARING
14. Second Reading of Ordinance for Ocoee Landings PUD - Substantial Amendment to
the Approved Planned Unit Development/Land Use Plan (PUD/LUP); Project No:
RZ-18-09-14. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, January 24, 2019.) (City Planner
Rumer)
The Ocoee Landings Planned Unit Development(PUD)which was approved on October 20,2015 consists of
a mixed-use development consisting of 9.15 acres of residential and 6.89 acres of commercial.The residential
portion of the project is proposed at a maximum of fifty(50) dwelling units. The typical lot size proposed is
50' x 110' (5,500 sq. ft.). The minimum living area is 1,400 sq. ft. There are three passive recreation areas
with two tot-lots proposed on the LUP/PSP. The subdivision will be un-gated with public streets. As shown
on the plans, the four (4) commercial lots will have access on Silver Star Road and Lake Johio Drive. The
commercial portion will consist of 6.89 acres of C-2 (Community Commercial) uses with certain uses
(Automobile Sales, Hotel, Motel) excluded. Special Exception uses allowed will require a Special Exception
Site Plan approval before permitting. The Future Land Use designation is "Low Density Residential" which
allows up to 4 dwelling units per acre. On April 19, 2016, the City Commission reviewed and approved a
non-substantial amendment to the PUD/Land Use Plan for Oak Trail Reserve PUD. There were three (3)
waivers from the Land Development Code that were approved. First, the Applicant received a waiver from
Table 5-1 Permitted Use Regulations to allow drive-in restaurants within two hundred(200)feet of residential
property.The reason for the waiver is because of the mixed-use characteristics of the PUD,the residential lots
will be less than 200 feet from the commercial out parcels. The second waiver approved is for the commercial
building setback of 50 feet against residential use to be reduced to 25 feet on Lots 3 and 4 only. Again, the
mixed-use characteristic of the PUD makes for a more compact development pattern. The third and final
waiver granted reducing the PUD 25 feet minimum building setbacks for the residential portion of the PUD.
Staff supports all waivers as requested on the LUP/PSP. The Developer of the PUD has brought in
KHovnanian Homes as the builder of the residential section of the PUD.The builder is requesting a change to
the front setback from its current 25 feet to a reduced setback of 20 feet. The request is to provide enough lot
coverage for a popular model home which will upgrade the community.
REGULAR AGENDA
15. Discussion and Direction Regarding the Bluford Avenue Streetscape Modifications
for the Purpose of Addressing Public Safety Concerns between Delaware Street and
McKey Street. (Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator Corless)
City staff has completed their walkability and public safety assessment of Bluford Avenue between Delaware
Street and McKey Street and found the following: (1) The crape myrtles planted at each intersection are
causing pedestrian and bicycle conflicts due to the location of the planters. (2) There are palms that conflict
with signage,street lighting,connecting walkways,driveways and/or ramps.
Streetscape modifications are needed for Bluford Avenue Streetscape in order to improve overall walkability
and safety, and to increase pedestrian and bicycle capacity of the sidewalks between Delaware Street and
Lafayette Street (the block adjacent to Ocoee Middle School). Steps to correct the issues include the
following: (1) Remove the existing seven (7) crape myrtles south of McKey Street and fill planters with
concrete to provide increased sidewalk area. Do not plant the eight (8) crape myrtles north of McKey Street
that are located in a sidewalk planter. Crape myrtles will remain in the larger planting beds on the east side of
Bluford Avenue, north of McKey Street, as shown on the plans. (2) Remove the twelve (12) palms that are
conflicting with street lights, signage, ramps and/or connecting sidewalks between Delaware Street and
McKey Street and fill planters with concrete to provide increased sidewalk area. These twelve(12)palms can
be relocated north of McKey Street in locations that do not create safety issues or walkability conflicts.
16. Discussion and Direction Regarding Potential Properties Available for Acquisition.
(Assistant City Manager Shadrix)
There are several properties in which the property owners have contacted the City with proposals/offers to
sell. Each of the properties meets one or more goals in the City's Comprehensive Plan and other documents
such as the Downtown Master Plan. Staff believes it is in the City's interest to discuss the opportunities and
to seek direction. The properties which have indicated an interest include the following: (1)Forest Lake Golf
Course;(2)Recording Studio on Starke Lake;(3)Church of Christ Property in the Downtown.

17. Discussion and Direction Regarding the Bed and Breakfast Proposal for the City-
Owned House Located at 2 North Bluford Avenue. (Assistant City Manager Shadrix)
During the August 7, 2018 City Commission meeting, the City Commission by consensus authorized
Dr. Kathleen Crown to have a construction expert evaluate the City-owned home located at 2 North Bluford
Avenue following a lengthy discussion based on a proposal by Dr. Crown to lease the property and renovate
the home for use as a bed and breakfast venue. Dr. Crown subsequently appeared before the City Commission
at the October 16, 2018 City Commission meeting and reported that the building, which is currently being
occupied by Oelrich Construction as a free of charge lease as a construction headquarters for its work on
Downtown Masterplan projects, was in a state of disrepair and requested that the City make some of the
repairs. From that point,the City made some minimal general repairs to improve the overall condition of the
building: however, from the discussion between Dr. Crown and City staff to this point, renovation of the
structure to accommodate a commercial bed and breakfast would be considered a non-trivial undertaking. To
date, the City has not heard from Dr. Crown on further interest in the building or property. Given the timing
of City Hall construction and the City's ongoing efforts to promote economic development in the Downtown
Redevelopment Area, it is recommended that the City Commission formally dismiss the bed and breakfast
proposal for this site and authorize funding to demolish or move the structure from the site upon completion
of duties by Oelrich Construction. Staff has received queries about this property from various developers and
is unable to provide definitive guidance on pursuing redevelopment opportunities.
