SUBJ: Maguire Road Corporation - Appeal of Vested Rights
Certificate No. CV-95-01
As you have been previously notified by the City Attorney, Maguire Road
Corporation has appealed the findings contained within Certificate of
Vesting No. CV-95-01 as issued by the City on June 19, 1995 . Since the
consideration of this appeal constitutes a quasi-judicial proceeding,
staff will only be able to answer questions regarding this matter at the
City Commission hearing itself . However, the staff has reviewed the
issues raised on appeal and had an informal meeting with the applicant
and its legal counsel in an effort to resolve the concerns raised by the
applicant . It is the position of the staff that Certificate of Vesting
No. CV-95-01 is consistent with the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan, the Land
Development Code, the project approvals for the Plantation Grove PUD and
that the appeal should be denied by the City Commission.
In connection with your consideration of the appeal , we have included
the following information in your packet as back-up material :
• City Clerk Notice of Hearing letter to Scott D. Clark, Esq. , dated
August 10 , 1995
• Appeal letter from Scott D. Clark for Maguire Road Corporation
dated July 13 , 1995 (Vesting Certificate No. CV-95-01)

• Certificate of Vesting Number CV-95-01 , Plantation Grove PUD:
Parcel A, Multi-Family and Parcel F, Commercial Phases II and III ,

Additionally, the following materials are available in the Planning

additional information will also be available at the meeting itself for

Certificate to be considered by the City Commission. It is unknown at
this time what type of proceeding the applicant intends to pursue;
however, the City Attorney is providing you with a memorandum on certain
procedural issues and should be consulted during the meeting to
determine the appropriate legal protocol to be followed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
of the City of Ocoee
FROM: Paul E. Rosenthal, Esq. , City Attorney
DATE : August 31, 1995
RE: Appeal by Maguire Road Corporation of Vested Rights
Determination No. CV-95-01
This memorandum is to advise you on certain procedural
matters related to the appeal by Maguire Road Corporation of the
Vested Rights Determination No. CV-95-01 by the Director of
Planning ( "the Appeal" ) . Mary Doty of my office will be
representing the Director of Planning and the City Staff at the
hearing. Scott Clark will be representing Maguire Road
Corporation. I will be present to advise the City Commission on
any procedural matters related to the Appeal . I estimate that
consideration of the Appeal will take approximately one hour.
Attached hereto is a copy of Section 1-5 . 1 of the Land
Development Code which relates to vested rights determinations.
The Director of Planning has issued Vested Rights Certificate No.
CV-95-01 pursuant to these provisions . Section 1-5 . 1 (F) (2) (a)
places the burden on the applicant "to affirmatively allege and
establish the existence of vested rights" . Pursuant to Section
1-5 . 1 (F) (2) (d) the vested rights determination includes finding (s)
of fact and conclusions of law. This section also provides that :
"The Vested Rights Determination may contain reasonable
conditions necessary to effect the purposes of this Land
Development Code and the Comprehensive Plan. It shall
state that the Vested Rights Determination is subject to
expiration in accordance with this or subsequent
ordinances . "
The Appeal has been filed pursuant to the provisions of
Section 1-5 . 1 (F) (3) of the Land Development Code. Following
receipt of the Appeal, the Director of Planning and other staff
members met with the Applicant and their counsel to informally
The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
of the City of Ocoee
August 31, 1995
Page 2
discuss the Appeal . That meeting did not result in a resolution of
the issues raised by the Applicant . Accordingly, this matter has
been scheduled for consideration by the City Commission. Section
1-5 . 1 (F) (3) provides, in part, that the City Commission's review
"shall be based solely upon a review of the application and the
evidence in support thereof submitted to the Director" . As
indicated in my previous memorandum, the entire application of
Maguire Road Corporation has been available for your review in the
Planning Department and will remain available throughout your
consideration of the Appeal . Additionally, your agenda packet will
include copies of certain information related to the Appeal,
including the letter of appeal filed on behalf of the applicant .
The decision of the City Commission is final, subject to judicial
review.
This is the first appeal to the City Commission of a
Vested Rights Determination. The Land Development Code does not
establish any specific procedures to be followed by the City
Commission. However, general due process principles apply to this
proceeding. This includes the right of the applicant and the City
to call witnesses and cross examine any such witnesses .
Attached hereto is a proposed Procedural Outline for the
conduct of the Appeal . It is recommended that the City Commission
approve the attached Procedural Outline in connection with its
consideration of the Appeal .
The City Commission may deny the Appeal and uphold the
Director' s Vested Rights Determination or, alternatively, modify
the Director' s Vested Rights Determination as requested by the
applicant . The City Commission may accept all or a portion of the
issues raised by the applicant on appeal . Other courses of action
may be available based on the proceeding. Any decision of the City
Commission must be based upon competent substantial evidence and
the record of the proceeding.

Re: Certificate of Vesting CV-95-01
Dear Paul:
I have reviewed your recent correspondence to the City Council which contained
discussions about ex parte communications. It is our belief that Chapter 95-352,Laws of Florida,
creates a right of access which is applicable to this matter. Please be advised that the Applicant
will be attempting to exercise this right in one or more instances.
Separately, for the purpose of detcimining the contents of the record for our proceeding,
I would appreciate it if you could identify all documents relied upon by the Qty in issuing the
vested rights determination which were not included in the submittal made by Applicant Also,
it would helpful for you and I to agree specifically in advance of the hearing as to the specific
items constituting the record.
Please contact me when you are able to respond to the issues raised in this letter.
Sincerely yours,
J

Re: Vesting Certificate No. CV-95-01
Dear Sirs:
This letter will constitute notice to you that Maguire Road Corporation appeals certain
determinations made by the City of Ocoee in Certificate of Vesting No. CV-95-01, which was
rendered on June 19, 1995.
This notice is being supplied pursuant to Section 1-5.1(F)(3) of the Ocoee Land
Development Code and is intended to constitute compliance with that provision.
Section 1-5.1(F)(3) does not require the notice of appeal to contain any particular ground
for the appeal. However, without in any way limiting the Applicant's rights to set forth any
legitimate grounds for appeal, the following portions of the Certificate of Vesting are specifically
being contested:
1. Conclusion of Law No. 11. To the extent that Conclusions of Law no. 11 seeks
to give the City the right to object to development of the Project based on concurrency issues
related to solid waste, the Applicant believes that the property is exempt from such a concurrency
determination and the City is not entitled to deny vested rights based on such a factor.
July 13, 1995
Page 2
2. Conclusion of Law No. 14(A).
(a) As to No. 14(A)(i), the Applicant believes that it should be vested for 480
multi-family residential dwelling units regardless of any limitation on average daily trips
generated by the units.
(b) As to sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, stormwater drainage, and
recreation and open space the Project should be vested from any concurrency compliance on these
issues.
3. Conclusion of Law No. 14(B). As to all of the infrastructure issues shown in
14(B), the Applicant believes that it should be vested for concurrency purposes and consistency
purposes to the full extent of the commercial square footage calculations contained in the Revised
Land Use Plan and the original Land Use Plan without regard to any public facilities issues.
Specifically, the Applicant finds that both the initial Land Use Plan and Revised Land Use Plan
give rise to vested rights for commercial development of 217,800 square feet. Phase I of the
commercial property was vested for 110,111 square feet pursuant to Certificate of Vesting CV-
92-01, and thus there remain 117,589 square feet of commercial vested rights which would be
applicable to Phases II and III. The Applicant further believes that the vested rights would be
applicable to any type of commercial development which is permitted in the commercial zoning
category without regard to any limitation on average daily trips.
4. Common Law Vesting. The Applicant objects to the City's failure to make
findings as to vested rights pursuant to Section 1-5.1(C)(1)(b) of the Ocoee Land Development
Code and asserts that the project is fully vested pursuant to that.
5. Divestiture Provisions. The Applicant contests the assertion that the Project can
be divested based upon a "failure to continue development in good faith as required below," set
forth in Section VIII of the Certificate. The Applicant also specifically disclaims any limitation
on its rights to amend the 1992 Commercial Preliminary Subdivision Plan, so long as any
amendments do not seek to obtain commercial development permits more intense that those which
would have been permitted under the Revised Land Use Plan.
6. Untimely Response. Finally, the Applicant contests the right of the City to place
any limitations on the vested rights request submitted by the Applicant to the extent that those
limitations were not set forth by the Director within the time period contained in Section 1-
5.1(F)(2)(b) of the Land Development Code.
//

Obviously, the Applicant would be happy to sit down with the appropriate City officials
to discuss and attempt agreement on any of the points raised herein. Otherwise, the Applicant
requests that the City Commission accept and act upon this notice of appeal.

EXHIBITS "7," "8" AND "9"
These Exhibits "7", "8" and "9" are intended to be responsive to questions 7, 8 and 9
on the Application for Vested Rights Determination. Because many facts pertaining to the
Plantation Grove Development are common to the vesting claims under paragraphs 7, 8 and 9
of the application, this combined exhibit shall consist of a preliminary factual statement with
separate facts and arguments applicable to sections 7, 8 and 9.
FACTS COMMON TO ALL CLAIMS

come to constitute the Project.
4. During these discussions, the Applicant and Ferdinand expressed the desire to
acquire the lands constituting the Project, to have them annexed into the City of Ocoee, and to
obtain approval of the Project as a mixed used planned unit development within the City.
5. During the course of these conversations, City officials encouraged the Applicant
and Ferdinand to pursue the Project. At the same time the City officials informed the Applicant
and Ferdinand that certain advance commitments relating to the providing of infrastructure for
the Project would need to be committed to or completed by Ferdinand and the Applicant.
Included in these discussions was the fact that the Applicant would be required to make
substantial up-front commitments and expenditures to permit the City to expand water and sewer
utility service to the Project.
2
6. Ferdinand and the Applicant expressed to the City their willingness to make these
commitments if in fact they obtained approvals for the Project.

16. Some time prior to June 30, 1989, the City of Ocoee required a traffic study for
the Maguire Road corridor as a condition of Applicant's rights to develop the Project.
3
17. On or about June 30, 1989, Applicant entered into the Maguire Road Traffic
Study Agreement and subsequent to the agreement expended significant funds on account of said
agreement.
18. A "Maguire Road Corridor Study" was subsequent prepared by Professional
Engineering Consultants, Inc. and adopted by the City Commission on December 19, 1989.
19. As a condition of Applicant's rights to develop the Project, the City of Ocoee
required preparation of a basin study for the drainage basin area which includes the Project.
20. The drainage study was prepared by Bowyer-Singleton & Associates in October
of 1989.
21. As a condition of developing the Project, the City required Applicant to bear a
pro rata share of the cost, both for preparation of the drainage study and for implementation of
the recommendations contained in the study. Applicant in fact expended substantial sums of
money paying for its pro rata share of the study.
22. Based on the study, Applicant became a party to that certain Storm Drainage

so that it would align with Robison Road.
25. In order to accomplish the realignment of Moore Road, Applicant was forced to
obtain title to approximately five acres immediately south of the existing Moore Road at its
intersection with Maguire Road and has expended substantial sums of money to complete such
acquisition. The obtaining of this acreage also substantially delayed the Project and resulted in
an enormous increase in carrying costs for the Project.
26. In addition, Applicant has made contractual commitments and/or granted
concessions to its successor in interest, Cross Creek Development Company, to accomplish the
physical realignment of Moore Road.
27. On October 17, 1989 the City approved final engineering plans for Windermere
Groves, which consisted of portions of the Project.
28. On November 4, 1992 the City issued its Certificate of Vested Rights No. CV-92-
07 which determined that the final engineering plans for Windermere Groves constituted a final
development order within the meaning of the City Code. Certificate No. CV-92-07 also found
that development of Windermere Groves had been commenced before September 18, 1991 and
5
had been continued in good faith from that time to and including November 4, 1992. The
certificate expressly recognized that Windermere Groves was a part of the Plantation Grove
Planned Unit Development.

EXHIBIT "7"
STATUTORY VESTED RIGHTS (1-5.1IC1(11(al)
39. Applicant incorporates paragraphs 1 through 38 above into this Exhibit "7."
40. Section 1-5.1(C)(1)(a) of the Ocoee Land Development Code provides that a
project shall be deemed to have vested rights if:
"(a) the project or development has been issued a final
development order, and the developer has commenced development
and is continuing development in good faith on September 18,
1991 and on the date of submittal of the application for a
determination of vested rights."
41. The Project constitutes a "project" as such term is defined in the Ocoee Land
Development Code.
42. The final engineering plan for Windermere Groves, approved on October 17,
1989, constitutes "a final development order" within the meaning of 1-5.1(C)(1)(a) and also
constitutes the "commencement of development" within the meaning of 1-5.1(B)(1).
43. As of September 1, 1992, the date of Certificate of Vesting CV-92-01, the City
determined that:
"Since 1988, the Applicant has been proceeding in good faith to
seek final development orders with respect to all of the Plantation
Grove PUD (East) and has submitted to the City numerous
correspondence, plans, drawings and reports in support thereof."
44. In Certificate of Vesting No. CV-92-07, the City determined that the Applicant's
successors in interests as to Windermere Groves have been continuing development in good faith
from September 18, 1991 to and including November 4, 1992.
45. Since November 4, 1992 through and including the date of this Application, the
Applicant, through itself and its successors in title, has been continuing development in good
faith as to the Plantation Grove PUD.

EXHIBIT "8"
COMMON LAW VESTED RIGHTS UNDER
SECTION 1-5.1(C)(1)(b) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
46. Applicant incorporates paragraphs 1 through 38 above into this Exhibit "8."
47. Section 1-5.1(C)(1)(b) provides for vested rights if:
"(b) the person seeking to establish vested rights, with respect to
such project or development, or their predecessors in interest (i)
have relied in good faith and in reasonable reliance upon some
clear and unequivocal act or promise by the City, and (ii) have
made such a substantial change in position and incurred such
extensive obligations that it would be highly inequitable or unjust
to destroy the rights which such person has acquired."
48. In Certificate of Vesting No. CV-92-01, the City found that the Applicant had
"expended funds and changed its position based upon" the Developers Agreement for Sewer
Service executed on November 18, 1988, as amended.
49. In Certificate of Vesting No. CV-92-01, the City found that the Applicant had
"expended funds and changed its position based upon" the Developers Agreement for Water
Service executed on November 18, 1988, as amended.
50. Certificate No. CV-92-01 found that the Applicant "has expended funds and
changed its position based upon" the Storm Drainage Agreement executed on or about
November 15, 1989 between the Applicant, Ocoee Partners Limited Partnership, Heller Brothers
Groves and Park Square Maguire Limited.
51. Certificate No. CV-92-01 found that the Applicant "has expended funds and
changed its position based upon" Development Agreement Contract Number 88-9.
52. Certificate No. CV-92-01 found that "the Applicant has expended funds and
changed its position based upon" the Second Development Agreement dated May 5, 1992.
53. Certificate No. CV-92-01 further found that "the Applicant has expended funds
and made a substantial change in position based upon the 1990 Master Plan, the 1990 Single-
Family Engineering, the RLUP, the Sewer Developer Agreement, the Water Developer
Agreement, the Storm Drainage Agreement, the Drainage Study, the First Development
Agreement, the Second Development Agreement, the Maguire Road Corridor Study, the 1992
Commercial Preliminary Subdivision Plan, and the Parcel F-Phase I Final Engineering."
8
54. As to the portions of the Project vested therein, Certificate No. CV-92-01, found
vesting based upon the Applicant "having relied in good faith in reasonable reliance upon certain
clear and unequivocal acts of the City with respect to the specific vested rights set forth above
and having made a substantial change in position and incurred such extensive obligations that
it would be highly inequitable to destroy such rights."
55. The expenditures, the reliance and the substantial change in position cited in
Certificate No. CV-92-01 referred almost in its entirety to expenditures, agreements and changes
in position made by Applicant with respect to the entire Project.
56. The Applicant has made extensive expenditures of money in reliance upon the
clear and unequivocal acts of the City, which expenditures will not be recouped and which
investments will not be returned to the Applicant until it completes development of the remainder
of its Project. Thus, there is no basis for finding that its substantial change in position was
made only with the expectation of developing the properties which were vested pursuant to CV-
92-01.
57. Since the beginning of its efforts to develop the Project, the Applicant and
Ferdinand have made the following expenditures of funds:
OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES:

TOTAL PROJECT COSTS
EXPENDED BY OTHERS: 4,907,238.89
TOTAL PROJECT COSTS
BY APPLICANT AND OTHERS: $12,628,080.66
58. Numerous of the actions taken by the Applicant in reliance upon clear and
unequivocal acts of the City are actions constituting compliance with development conditions
applicable to the Property in its entirety. For instance:
(a) The Applicant has donated or caused to be donated all of the additional
Maguire Road right-of-way required for the Project.
(b) The Applicant has donated or caused to be donated all of the additional
Moore Road right-of-way of the Project.
(c) The Applicant has granted substantial financial concessions to Cross Creek
Development Company by virtue of that certain Development Agreement dated December 29,
These constitute expenses which the Applicant has either bound itself to incur in the future or for which
the Applicant has granted discounts or concessions to others for purposes of developing the Project.
3 All of these expenses were incurred by prospective or actual purchasers of portions of the Project for
purposes of engineering, permitting activity and actual development costs required as part of the Project.
10
1993 and recorded in Official Records Book 4678, Page 2746, Public Records of Orange
County, Florida, for the paving of Moore Road.
(d) Under the same Development Agreement referenced in (c) above,
Applicant obtained a commitment, for substantial consideration, for Cross Creek to install basic
surface water management facilities common to the entire Property and to design and size them
in a manner sufficient to service the entire Property.
(e) Under the same Development Agreement referred to in (c) above,
Applicant obtained a contractual obligation from Cross Creek, for substantial consideration, to
extend water and sewer lines for the benefit of the Property described in this application.
59. The Applicant has previously conveyed the fire station site to the City which was
intended to offset impacts applicable to the entire Project.
60. In Certificate of Vesting No. CV-93-01, the City determined that the Westmere
PUD was entitled to common law vested rights based on commencement of initial phases of the
Project. Accordingly, the Property is entitled to receive vested rights as to consistency and
concurrency pursuant to 1-5.1(C)(1)(b).
61. The failure of the City to grant the vested rights requested in this application
would be highly inequitable or unjust and would destroy the rights of the Applicant to recoup
its out-of-pocket expenditures with regard to the Project, all of which expenditures were made
based on good faith and reasonable reliance upon clear and unequivocal acts or promises by the
City.
11
EXHIBIT "9"
CLAIM BASED ON DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
PER 1-5.1(0(1)(c)
62. Applicant incorporates paragraphs 1 through 38 into this Claim.
63. Applicant and the City entered into Development Agreement Contract No. D88-09
which expressly granted specific development rights constituting the land use plan for Plantation
Grove.
64. On May 5, 1992 the Applicant and City entered into that certain Second
Developer Agreement for the purpose of incorporating a revised land use plan and to add
additional property to the Planned Unit Development. The Second Developer Agreement should
be construed as a continuation of the original Developers Agreement with certain specific
amendments. To the extent not specifically amended, the provisions of the first Developer
Agreement remain in place.
65. By virtue of paragraph 2D of the Second Developer Agreement, the Project was
granted specific vesting against subsequent modifications of law or regulation by virtue of the
following statement:
"In the event of any conflict between the zoning and subdivision
regulations and this agreement, it is agreed that the provisions of
this agreement shall control."
66. Subsequent to execution of the Second Developer Agreement, the City adopted
land use regulations implementing its concurrency management system. To the extent that said
