ELLIS SHAPIRO STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS FROM: JANET G. RESNIK, CAPITAL PROJECTS/CONCURRENCY ANALYST DATE : SEPTEMBER 14 , 1995 SUBJECT: ANNUAL CONCURRENCY REPORT ISSUE Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve Resolution 95-16, accepting the Concurrency Management System Infrastructure Report and adopting the Infrastructure Deficiencies Map? BACKGROUND Florida law requires that municipalities monitor certain facilities and services for concurrency purposes including traffic circulation, sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, stormwater drainage, and recreation. All facilities and services must be available either concurrent with the impacts of new development, or as outlined in Chapter 163 , Florida Statutes, as implemented under Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. DISCUSSION Attached is the annual Concurrency Assessment of Infrastructure and Services . As described in Florida Statutes, Article IX of the Land Development Code requires a review of the infrastructure and services in the City. Below is a summation of the findings : Traffic : The City meets the Level of Service (LOS) D requirements on all roads monitored in the system for existing traffic conditions; however, the concurrency management system must also measure the impacts of those developments which have been issued Final Certificates of Concurrency (FCCs) and Transportation Capacity Reservation Certificates (TCRCs) . The state allows room for the margin of error involved in measuring traffic; therefore, the City does not consider a road segment to be over the maximum LOS D until the count measures 115 percent of the maximum capacity of LOS D for that specific road segment . cCS Page 2 Concurrency Staff Report September 14, 1995 There are two (2) roadway segments over 115 percent when these reserved trips are added to the existing traffic counts : Good Homes Road (which is a County road) from State Road 50 to White Road (120%) , and Silver Star Road (State Road 438) from Clarke Road to Good Homes Road (134%) . Any segment that shows a figure greater than 115 percent of the maximum LOS D capacity must be planned for improvement as outlined in Rule 9J-5 . Since neither of these roads are scheduled for improvement within the required timeframe, it is recommended that these segments be placed on the Infrastructure Deficiencies Map and that no further projects be approved that would impact these segments, unless the development has an existing FCC, TCRC, or is vested. There are six (6) roadway segments over 100 percent of the maximum capacity at LOS D. These segments are Apopka-Vineland Road, from Silver Star Road to A.D. Mims Road (106%) , and the five (5) segments of State Road 50, from 9th Street to Wofford Road (102%) , Wofford to Maguire Road (112%) , Maguire to Old Winter Garden Road (114%) , Old Winter Garden to Clarke Road (103%) , and Clarke to Good Homes Road (107%) . These segments will be monitored closely as development continues . Once any of the segments reach 115 percent, the information will be forwarded to the City Commission for possible action. Sanitary Sewer: There are no deficiencies in this area, even when the flows for reserved (permitted but unbuilt development) capacity are added to existing flows in the current system. There are two factors involved in measuring the capacity of the wastewater system: (1) treatment, and (2) effluent disposal . With the expansion of the plant to the 3-million gallon treatment capacity, the City has more than half that capacity available for future growth, even after factoring in reserved capacity. The limiting factor is the effluent disposal capacity. The City is currently permitted by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to treat 1 . 5 million gallons per day because of the limitations on disposing of the effluent . The City is devising a master plan for implementing a reuse system throughout the City in order to maximize the plant' s treatment capacity for future growth. This would allow greater effluent disposal capacity through irrigating both residential and commercial properties with the reclaimed water. The City could then apply for an increase to the DEP permit . The first step in this master plan will take place during FY 1995-96 when the City constructs storage and pumping facilities at the plant to prepare for providing reclaimed water. Page 3 Concurrency Staff Report September 14, 1995 Potable Water: Current average daily flows fall below the maximum allowable under the St . Johns River Water Management District consumptive use permit, and when reserved capacities are added to existing flows, the total is still below capacity. Currently the City is installing two new wells, one at the Forest Oaks Water Plant and the other at the South Water Plant . These new wells and the City' s anticipated growth over the next several years are the basis for an increase in the St . Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) consumptive use permit which is the determining permit for the amount of water the City is allowed to pump. The City will also build two new 600, 000 gallon storage tanks in FY 1995-96, one at the Forest Oaks Water Plant and one at the South Water Plant . The elevated storage tank that was recently removed at the Kissimmee Avenue Plant only had a capacity of 250, 000 gallons so the overall storage capacity will be greatly improved. Taking into consideration the two new wells, the yearly increase in the consumptive use permit, and the plans for using reclaimed water in the future for irrigation purposes, the City is keeping pace with the increased water demands brought on by growth. Solid Waste : The City falls well below the six (6) pounds per person per day LOS . The residential recycling program has been running for several years now and this accounts for a lower production of Class I garbage . Although there is no LOS for commercial and multi-family garbage customers, mandatory recycling will also reduce the waste that previously went into the landfill . Also, for any new development (commercial or multi-family) the City requires a letter from the solid waste franchise company stating that they have the capacity to handle the waste associated with the new development as a condition of development approval . Since recycling is now mandatory for commercial and multi-family customers, a recycling plan (name of company handling the recycling and the system to be implemented) will now be required of all new commercial and multi-family developments to ensure that waste reduction is being maximized. Stormwater Drainage : All new developments must meet City and state requirements for stormwater drainage . The existing drainage conditions are being analyzed basin by basin in order to determine necessary Page 4 Concurrency Staff Report August 29, 1995 infrastructure improvements and maintenance schedules . As funds permit, studies are being conducted, construction of new infrastructure or repairs of existing facilities is being planned, and equipment is being purchased to handle the routine maintenance required to keep systems functioning properly. Recreation: Over the next three years, many improvements are scheduled for the recreation program. According to the Capital Improvement Program, land for two additional parks is planned for purchase and several improvements including playground equipment, pavillions and bathroom facilities, lights at ballfields and tennis courts, and a skate path are planned for existing parks . The additional park land will keep the City well within the level of service for recreation. RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully recommends that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners adopt Resolution 95-16 which includes the attached report as the formal assessment of infrastructure and services and the Infrastructure Deficiencies Map depicting the two areas of deficiencies in the area of traffic circulation: Good Homes Road (County road) from State Road 50 to White Road • and Silver Star Road (State Road 438) from Clarke Road to Good Homes Road. cc : Ellis Shapiro, City Manager Jim Shira, P.E. , City Engineer/Utilities Director Montye Beamer, Director of Administrative Services Russ Wagner, Director of Planning Ken Hooper, PEC RESOLUTION 95-16 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF OCOEE, FLORIDA, RELATING TO INFRASTRUCTURE DEFICIENCIES UNDER THE CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM; ACCEPTING A CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT; FINDING THAT THERE ARE NO INFRASTRUCTURE DEFICIENCIES WITHIN THE CITY, EXCEPT FOR A TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE DEFICIENCY ON SILVER STAR ROAD FROM CLARKE ROAD TO GOOD HOMES ROAD AND ON GOOD HOMES ROAD FROM STATE ROAD 50 TO WHITE ROAD; ADOPTING AN INFRASTRUCTURE DEFICIENCIES MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

FOLEY & LARDNER APPROVED BY THE OCOEE CITY COMMISSION AT A MEETING HELD ON , 1995 By: UNDER AGENDA ITEM NO. City Attorney EXHIBIT "A" CONCURRENCY ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES The following inventories, in conjunction with the Infrastructure Deficiencies Map, shall be maintained by the Development Administrator to be used for the concurrency assessment of new development : I. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION A. Design capacity of the roadway network. The attached Table 1 outlines the volumes and capacities of all of the roadway segments monitored by the City of Ocoee. The total capacity (vehicles per day) shown for all roadway segments is for a Level of Service (LOS) D. B. The existing level of service measured by the average annual number of trips per day on a roadway as provided by the the Florida Department of Transportation, Orange County, the City of Ocoee, or any other approved source. The figures for existing traffic for the various road segments are shown on Table 1, Page 1, under Existing Daily Volumes (vehicles per day) . These counts were provided by the FDOT, the Orange County Traffic Engineering Department, and the City' s consulting engineers . Comparing this existing trip data with the Total Allowable Capacity, all segments fall within the acceptable range for LOS D. C. The adopted level of service standards for all roadways classified under the Florida Department of Transportation' s roadway functional classification system. The adopted LOS for all roadways is LOS D. 1 D. The existing unallocated capacities or deficiencies of the roadway network. The available capacities or existing deficiencies under today' s traffic conditions are obtained by subtracting existing volumes from maximum allowable capacities . (See Paragraph F below for a discussion of capacities for roadway segments after reserved trips are added to existing trips . ) The maximum volumes on Table 1 are one hundred percent (100.t) of LOS D. The state allows cities to cap the volumes at 115 percent because of the margin of error involved. E. The capacities reserved for those projects with a Final Certificiate of Concurrency or Transportation Capacity Reservation Certificate. Trips are reserved (for concurrency purposes) for those projects with Final Certificates of Concurrency (FCCs) or Transportation Capacity Reservation Certificates (TCRCs) . These projects with reserved trips are listed, with their respective traffic volumes, on Pages 2-5 of Table 1 . The total reserved trips for each road segment is on Page 1 of Table 1 . For those developments which are currently in the building stage, units which are already adding trips on the road (homes or businesses that are occupied) have been subtracted from the overall total trips that are concurrent (to avoid double counting) . F. The projected capacities or deficiencies due to those projects with a Final Certificate of Concurrency or Transportation Capacity Reservation Certificate. The traffic generated by those projects with a FCC or a TCRC is recorded in the "Reserved" column of Table 1 . When added to existing traffic, the combined amount may not exceed 115 percent of the maximum allowable capacity for each road segment . Based on existing trips plus reserved trips, there are two roadway segments over capacity: Good Homes Road (which is a County road) from State Road 50 to White Road and Silver Star Road (State Road 438) from Clarke Road to Good Homes Road. Development which affects either of these roadway segments may only be approved if the project is vested or has a valid Final Certificate of Concurrency (FCC) or Transportation Capacity Reservation Certificate (TCRC) . 2 There are six (6) segments over 100 percent of the maximum capacity for LOS D. These segments will be monitored closely and once the segments are at 115 percent, the City Commission will be notified that development should stop in these areas as well unless a project is vested or has a FCC or TCRC. The segments currently over 100 percent of capacity are Apopka-Vineland Road (which is a County road) from Silver Star Road to A.D. Mims Road, and State Road 50 (a state facility) from 9th Street to Wofford Road, Wofford to Maguire Road, Maguire to Old Winter Garden Road, Old Winter Garden to Clarke Road, and Clarke to Good Homes Road. State Road 50 segments are at this level in large part due to the reserved trips for the two DRIs that were put into the system once they received formal approval . G. The improvements to be made to the roadway network in the current fiscal year by any approved projects pursuant to previous development orders or permits and the impact of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. The segment of Clarke Road, north of A.D. Mims Road, to the Prairie Lakes Subdivision entrance has been constructed by the developer of Prairie Lakes PUD. The last segment of Clarke Road, which will bring it north to Clarcona-Ocoee Road, will also be built by the developer of Prairie Lakes PUD. Plans for that segment are currently under review. That final segment is expected to be completed during the 1995-96 fiscal year. Monitoring of traffic will occur following completion of these improvements . H. The improvements to be made to the roadway network in the current fiscal year and the first three years of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan by the City of Ocoee, Orange County, the Florida Department of Transportation, or other public agency and the impact of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. There are three projects included in the City' s Capital Improvements Plan that will affect the transportation network by either adding capacity or improving traffic flow. The 1995-96 budget includes construction funds for the Kissimmee Avenue/Story Road intersection and for reconfiguring the intersection of Marshall Farms Road and Maguire Road. 3 Lastly, the Maguire Road widening project is scheduled to begin in FY 1995-96 . The City is expected to award the engineering work in early 1996 . I. Annual update of the City' s transportation network as modeled using the Region' s most recent OUATS model. Work is currently being completed on the Road Impact Fee update . This will be presented to the City Commission this fall . II. SANITARY SEWER A. The design capacity of the wastewater treatment facility. The City of Ocoee has one wastewater treatment facility. It is currently designed to treat three (3) million gallons per day (MGD) . The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Construction Permit allows the City of Ocoee to treat up to 1 . 5 million gallons per day. This figure represents the current permitted effluent disposal capacity of the ponds at the plant site and at the golf course . B. The existing level of service standard for average daily flows per equivalent residential unit. The existing level of service (LOS) is calculated by dividing the number of equivalent residential units (ERUs) into the average daily flows represented by the existing customer base . The average daily flow (daily flow counts were taken from July 1994-June 1995 and then averaged for the 12-month period) is . 848 MGD (847, 667 gallons per day) . There are 3 , 243 customers on the system accounting for approximately 3 , 310 ERUs which amounts to an existing LOS of 256 gallons per day per ERU. C. The adopted level of service standard for average daily flows per equivalent residential unit. The adopted LOS per the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan is 270 gallons per day (GPD) per ERU. 4 D. The existing capacities or deficiencies of the system. Taking the 1 . 5 million gallons per day that the City is permitted to treat and subtracting the current (average) flow of 847, 667 gallons per day, there are 652, 333 gallons per day of capacity in the system. (See Paragraph E below for a discussion of capacities remaining after reserved gallons are added to existing gallons in the system. ) E. The capacities reserved for approved but unbuilt development. For concurrency purposes regarding sanitary sewer, the City of Ocoee defines "approved but unbuilt development" as those portions of a project which have not yet been built but which have sanitary sewer capacity reserved through a DEP permit . Table 2 outlines the projects which fall under this category and the number of sanitary sewer ERUs that have been reserved and are still unused for each of those projects . The current wastewater facility has a treatment capacity of 3 million gallons . The system as permitted by DEP for effluent disposal can treat a total of 1 . 5 million gallons per day or 5, 556 ERUs . With the 3 , 310 ERUs currently in use and the 1, 794 ERUs reserved for unbuilt development (as permitted) , there are 452 ERUs of capacity still available (based on the effluent disposal capacity) . Many of the projects with ERUs in the reserved bank will take several years to build out . In terms of treatment capacity, with the existing flow and the reserved gallonage, more than half of the 3 million gallons per day is still available to support additional growth beyond the projects permitted today. The City will focus on reuse programs over the next several years to increase the DEP effluent disposal capacity permit in order to maximize use of the plant . F. The improvements to be made to the facility in the current fiscal year by any approved projects pursuant to previous development orders and the impact of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. There are no improvements scheduled to be made to the wastewater treatment facility this year by developers which would have any effect on capacities or deficiencies of the overall system. 5 G. The improvements to be made to the facility in the current fiscal year by the City of Ocoee and the impacts of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. In FY 1995-96, the City will construct storage and pumping facilities at the wastewater treatment plant to prepare for providing reclaimed water in the future . Once the storage and pumping facilities are in place, the City will begin installing lines along Clarke Road, both to provide the mall and Lake Lotta Center with reclaimed water for irrigation and to use for irrigation of Clarke Road medians and rights- of-way. New development in the northeast and northwest sections of the City will be required to install lines for reclaimed water to use for irrigating residential and commercial lawns . Construction is planned to start on the storage and pumping facilities during the second half of FY 1995-96 . The end result will be reduced potable water use and increased effluent disposal capacity for the wastewater system. III. POTABLE WATER A. The design capacity of the potable water treatment facilities. There are three water plants interconnected in the City of Ocoee permitted to pump a total of 3 . 325 MGD. (This is permitted through the St . Johns River Water Management District . ) The 3 .325 MGD equates to 11, 083 ERUs using the City' s adopted LOS of 300 GPD/ERU. B. The existing level of service measured by the average number of gallons per day per unit based on the average flows experienced. The average number of gallons used per day based on the 12- month average from July 1994 through June 1995 is 3 .286 MGD. Taking the 15 percent average deduction for unmetered losses for such things as hydrant flushing, leakages, and calibration variances in the meters, the average daily number of gallons actually used by customers in the system is 2 . 793 MGD. There are currently 6, 294 customers representing approximately 9, 350 ERUs in the system. Taking the number of ERUs and the average flow used by customers in the system, the existing LOS is 298 . 72 GPD/ERU. 6 C. The existing potable water storage capabilities of the water system. The water storage capabilities are as follows : Forest Oaks Plant : 400, 000 gallons Jamela Plant : 1, 000, 000 gallons South Water Plant : 600, 000 gallons Total Storage : 2, 000, 000 gallons Two new storage tanks are budgeted for FY 1995-96, a 600, 000 gallon storage tank at the Forest Oaks Plant and a 600, 000 gallon storage tank at the South Water Plant . Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 1996 with completion sometime in the fall of 1996 . D. The existing minimum water pressure. The Land Development Code requires a minimum water pressure of 20 pounds per square inch (20 psi) . New development is required to show that it meets this requirement (which is usually done through computer modelling) . Existing development is tested by the Ocoee Fire Department on a regular basis through gauging fire hydrants . E. The adopted level of service standards for the potable water facilities. The adopted LOS is 300 GPD/ERU. F. The existing capacities or deficiencies of the system. The existing LOS of 298 . 72 GPD/ERU meets the adopted LOS as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. The 9, 350 ERUs that represent the current customer usage is below the maximum permitted 11, 083 ERUs; therefore there are no deficiencies in the existing system. (See Paragraph G below for a discussion of capacities remaining after reserved gallons are added to existing gallons in the system. ) G. The capacities reserved for approved but unbuilt development. For concurrency purposes regarding potable water, the City of Ocoee defines "approved but unbuilt development" as those portions of a project which have not yet been built but 7 which have potable water capacity reserved through a DEP permit . Table 3 outlines the projects which fall under this category and the number of potable water ERUs that have been reserved and are still unused for each of those projects . With the current water plants, the system is permitted to pump 3 .325 MGD or 11, 083 ERUs . With the 9, 350 ERUs currently in use and the 1, 162 ERUs reserved for unbuilt development, the system still has capacity for 571 ERUs for future growth. Many of the projects with ERUs in the reserved bank will take several years to build out . H. The improvements to be made to the facilities in the current fiscal year by any approved projects pursuant to previous development orders or permits and the impact of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. According to the City Engineer/Utilities Director, there are no improvements planned by developers that would impact existing capacities . I. The improvements to be made to the facilities in the current fiscal year by the City of Ocoee and the impact of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. The City is in the process of adding two new wells to the system. One well is currently under construction at the Forest Oaks Water Plant site and is expected to be operating this fall . The other well will be at the South Water Plant and should be completed in January 1996 . These wells will result in an increase in the consumptive use permit which will give the City more water capacity for future growth. IV. SOLID WASTE A. The percentage of the total amount of solid waste disposal capacity allocated to the City of Ocoee by Orange County or other applicable solid waste disposal facilities. The City of Ocoee currently provides residential solid waste collection services . Commercial garbage is franchised to a private contractor. The City of Ocoee does not have a contract with Orange County for a certain allotment of solid waste disposal capacity. Orange County has not notified the City of any limitations or of any maximum allowable waste 8 that will be accepted from the City. To this end, the City will permit additional customers until notified otherwise by the County. Orange County' s landfill permit is valid through December 4 , 1997 . B. The existing level of service measured by the solid waste per pound per capita per weekly collection. Orange County currently places no overall limitations on the amount of solid waste generated by the City of Ocoee; however, the City does limit the amount of solid waste it collects from its residential customers and anything over that limit is only collected after the customer pays an additional fee. The current LOS for residential customers is 6 . 0 pounds per capita per day. Service is provided as required by state statute for the separation of Class I garbage from recyclables and yard waste. From July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995, a total of 5, 906 .46 tons of Class I residential garbage was transported by the City of Ocoee to the Orange County landfill . That figure averages out to 492 . 21 tons per month or 984, 410 pounds per month or 32, 814 pounds per day. There are currently 5, 725 residential garbage customers (households) in Ocoee. At 32 , 814 pounds per day that equates to 5 . 73 pounds per day per customer or 1 . 91 pounds per day per person. Yard waste is calculated separately. With the exception of debris from Hurricane Erin, yard waste averaged 2 . 54 pounds per customer or . 85 pounds per person per day. That added to the above figure for Class I garbage equals 2 . 76 per person per day. This is still well below the 6 pounds per person per day adopted LOS. A total of 908 . 05 tons of residential recyclables was collected from July 1994 to June 1995 . That amounts to 6 . 1 pounds per household per week. C. The projected capacities reserved for those projects with a Final Certificate of Concurrency. Because Orange County has not placed any limitation on the amount of solid waste generated by the City of Ocoee, the City will reserve capacity for approved but unbuilt development in one-year increments for those developments that receive Final Certificates of Concurrency. 9 D. The existing recycling criteria as established by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Orange County. The City of Ocoee began its residential recycling program in July 1990 in accordance with state and local regulations . All businesses and all multi-family housing within Orange County must begin recycling this year. Multi-family garbage collection is provided by the City' s commercial garbage collector. Recycling services for commercial and multi- family developments may be done by the City' s private commercial garbage contractor or any independent recycling company so long as they are certified as a recovered materials dealer. There were 9, 450 tons of commercial garbage collected by the City' s private commercial hauler from July 1994 through June 1995 and 976 .46 tons of recyclables were collected from commercial establishments in Ocoee for that same period. V. STORMWATER DRAINAGE A. The existing level of service measured by storm event as determined by the City of Ocoee and its consulting engineers. The City has issued four work orders for engineering study of four of the sixteen drainage basins . All of these studies are currently underway. These studies will result in recommended improvements to be made within the individual basins, will provide estimated capital costs for the improvements, and will recommend general future development guidelines to be applied within each basin. After the engineering studies are completed, the City will begin work on project design for improvements recommended by each study. These projects will include new construction, maintenance of existing facilities, and improvement of existing inadequate facilities . These projects will be prioritized for construction as funds become available . The City will begin a program of identification of drainage easement and right-of-way requirements, including surveys and appraisals . Once this information is collected, the City can begin to acquire these easements and rights-of-way in order to make ditch maintenance a more routine process . This maintenance will allow the conveyance facilities to function at their design capacity. 10 The Capital Improvements Program calls for the City to purchase a piece of specialized equipment for ditch cleaning. This climbing excavator can travel along the bottom of a ditch, through up to four feet of standing water. It will allow routine custodial maintenance of ditches for which there is limited right-of-way, since the equipment does not need to travel along the top of the ditch bank. Routine custodial maintenance is work for the purpose of maintaining the original design specifications of the conveyance facility. The City is a co-applicant with Orange County for both Part I and Part II of the U.S . EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permit application. EPA' s review of the Part I application has been completed, and Part II of the application is nearing completion. The final permit should be issued by calendar year end. When issued, the permit will be for a five-year period, and will include requirements for pollutant monitoring and drainage system improvements . B. The adopted level of service standard for storm drainage. The LOS for stormwater/drainage is the ability to contain a 25 year/24 hour storm event, consistent with Chapter 17-25 of the Florida Administrative Code. Development must meet all requirements for stormwater/drainage as outlined in the City of Ocoee' s Land Development Code or other such stormwater drainage approvals as may be required by the Land Development Code or state agencies . VI. RECREATION A. The existing acreage of park land. There are 140 acres of park land in the City of Ocoee . The list of parks with the corresponding acres is attached as Table 4 . B. The existing level of service measured by the number of acres of park land available per 1, 000 residents of the City of Ocoee based on an inventory of park lands in the City and the population of the City. 11 According to the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) at the University of Florida, the latest population figures for Ocoee show 18 , 578 permanent residents . With 140 acres of existing park land, that gives the City an existing LOS of 7 . 54 acres of park land per 1, 000 residents . C. The existing capacities or deficiencies of the recreational facilities. The adopted LOS for recreation is 4 acres of park land per 1, 000 residents . D. The capacities reserved for those projects with a Final Certificate of Concurrency. Table 5 outlines those projects with Final Certificates of Concurrency, denoting the population for each project and the capacity (number of acres) each will require. E. The projected capacities or deficiencies due to those projects with a Final Certificate of Concurrency. The total needed to support those projects in Table 5 is 2 . 54 acres . The current population of 18 , 578 requires 74 acres . The existing 140 acres of park land leaves the City with an excess capacity of 66 acres . Taking into account the developments with Final Certificates of Concurrency, there are 63 . 5 acres of additional capacity for future growth. F. The improvements or additions of land to be made to the recreation system in the current fiscal year by any approved projects pursuant to previous development orders and the impact of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. There are no park lands scheduled to be added to the city- wide park system in the 1995-96 fiscal year; however, residential subdivisions are still required by the Land Development Code to provide park land and facilities to serve the residents of their subdivision. This park land is not added to the city-wide system since it is private property owned and maintained by the individual homeowners' associations; however, it does reduce the demand on certain public facilities . 12 G. The improvements or additions of land to be made to the recreation system in the current fiscal year by the City of Ocoee and the impact of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. There are no park lands scheduled to be added to the city- wide recreation system during this fiscal year; however, there are several improvements being added to existing park facilities . 13
