STAFF REPORT
DATE: October 17, 2000
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Bradley E. Friel, AICP, Principal Transportation Planner�� �
THROUGH: Russell B. Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning Qp�
SUBJECT: Annual Concurrency Assessment of Infrastructure and Services
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners direct staff to prepare a Resolution adopting the
attached annual Concurrency Assessment of Infrastructure and Services?
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.
Data and information for this report has been compiled with assistance from Jim Shira, P.E.,
City Engineer/Utilities Director; Bob Smith, Director of Public Works; Bruce Nordquist, Director
of Recreation; Cathy Sills, Water Department and Pam Brosonski, Budget Technician.
DISCUSSION:
Attached is the annual Concurrency Assessment of Infrastructure and Services. This
assessment has been completed to comply with Article IX of the Land Development Code,
which requires that specific criteria be reviewed and inventories be reported at least once a
year. In conjunction with this concurrency assessment, an Infrastructure Deficiencies Map
must also be adopted before each new fiscal year. Below is a summary of the findings:
Traffic Circulation:
The most recent Comprehensive Plan Amendment adopted by Ocoee changed the Level of
Service (LOS) used for monitoring some state and county roads from LOS "D" to LOS "E". All
City roads continue to be held to a LOS "D". Table 1 of the attached EXHIBIT "A" lists each of
the road segments monitored by the City's concurrency system as well as the LOS, volume,

and capacity data for those road segments. The roadways which are shaded in Table 1 are
non-CMS roadways that may need to be monitored for concurrency in the future. It is believed
that these roadways will become increasingly important in Ocoee's future traffic circulation
needs. For this reason, they are being included as potential CMS roadways in the most recent
monitoring program.
Based on existing trips plus reserved trips, there are no segments that exceed the 115 percent
threshold allowed in the Land Development Code however, there are five segments over 100
percent of the maximum capacity. Once a roadway segment reaches 115 percent, it must be
placed on the infrastructure Deficiencies Map and development may not be approved which
affects that roadway segment unless a project is vested, has a valid FCC or TCRC, or if an
alternative study proves the segment would still operate at acceptable FDOT standards.
The above discussion is based on the execution of a development agreement between the City
and the Florida Auto Auction. This agreement provides funding for the four laning of Maguire
Road from Marshall Farms Road to Story Road. The four laning provides additional capacity
which removes this roadway segment from the Infrastructure Deficiencies Map.
The five segments that exceed the 100% threshold are listed below. These segments will be
monitored closely and if any of them (or any other segment) reaches 115 percent, the City
Commission will be notified.
• Bowness Road from Story Road to Kissimmee Avenue (108%)
• State Road 50 from Blackwood Avenue to Clarke Road (103%)
• Silver Star Road(SR438) from Bowness Road to Ocoee-Apopka Road (108%)
• Silver Star Road(SR438) from Bluford Avenue to Ocoee-Hills Road (100%)
• Silver Star Road(SR438) from Ocoee-Hills Road to Clarke Road (104%)
City wide, the roadway which has shown the largest percentage increase in traffic from 1999 to
2000 was Moore Road from Maguire Road to 7'h Avenue. The increase in traffic volumes was
45 percent. This increase is a result of the considerable residential construction that has
occurred along Maguire Road and Moore Road. Other roads which showed significant
increases in volumes were Story Road and Sliver Star/ Bowness Road ( increases in industrial
activity and the Western Expressway), and Old Winter Garden Road / Professional Parkway
(CFI, Health Central, Activity in the SR 50 corridor and new residential construction).
The traffic along State Road 50, from 9'h Street to Good Homes Road, remained mostly
unchanged with a moderated increase from Wofford Road to Marshall Farms Road and slightly
more significant increase from Old Winter Garden Road to Clarke Road. The activity associated
with the Western Expressway and with new commercial development along State Road 50
have added to the trend of gradually increasing traffic volumes. The trend in traffic growth on
this road has been steady for the last couple of years. As State Road 50 becomes more
congested, motorists will find alternative routes to travel east/west. The City should expect an
increase in traffic on State Road 50 as well as Old Winter Garden Road, Story Road and White
Road as new commercial businesses locate along the corridor.

Sanitary Sewer:
There are no deficiencies with regard to the wastewater system. Two factors are involved in
measuring capacity of the system: (1) treatment, and (2) effluent disposal. With a system
capable of treating 3 million gallons per day, the City has almost 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 2.35 million gallons per day because of limitations on disposing of the
effluent. The existing and reserved demand on the wastewater facility is 1.529 MGD Annual
Average Daily Flow ( AADF). Although adequate permitted capacity still remains for over
820,000 gallons of wastewater treatment or for 3,040 ERU's, the City is continuing the
implementation of phases I - IV of the reclaimed water system. When combined, the disposal
capacity of phases I through IV of the currently envisioned system would be approximately 3.5
MGD AADF.
The adopted Level of Service (LOS) per the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan is 270 gallons of
waste water per day per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). On average the 5,109 sanitary
sewer customers use 258 ERU's per day. With that in mind, the City is concurrent with respect
to sanitary sewer.
Potable Water:
Ocoee is currently permitted by the St. Johns River Water Management District to produce up
to 3.656 million gallons of potable water per day. Ocoee's current water customers use an
average of 5.618 MGD. As can be seen the City exceed the permitted amount. In an effort to
reduce potable water consumption and comply with St. John's requirements, the City has
continued the POWR program which is a public information and education program in
cooperation with the St. Johns River Water Management District. One of the goals of this
program was to reduce potable water demand by 10 percent by the summer of 2000. To some
extent this program was effective. As shown in the attached Concurrency Report, the City's
8,704 water customers used on average 17 gallons less water per day per ERU. In fact, the
City meets the Comprehensive Plan's requirement of 300 gallons per day per ERU.
To further reduce the City's consumption of potable water, the City is currently constructing a
reuse system to take advantage of the reclaimed water from the wastewater treatment plant.
Currently, this water is used at the Forest Lake Golf Course. The reuse lines being installed
along Clarke Road will allow both residential and commercial customers to take advantage of
reclaimed water to use for irrigation. This reclaimed water may be available to some customers
by the end of the year 2000. Once complete the reuse system is anticipated to reduce water
consumption by up to 40 percent.
Solid Waste:
The City continues to perform well in this area by collecting less than the allotted amount of
solid waste from residential customers. Class I garbage and yard waste (grass clippings, etc.)
together total about 2.92 pounds per person per day which is up slightly from last year's figures
(2.89 pounds per person per day). The adopted level of service is six (6) pounds per person
per day. This past year the City collected an average of 5.25 pounds of recyclables per
household per week. This is down slightly from last year's 5.53 pounds. A continued emphasis
on residential recycling should continue to reduce the amount of Class I garbage taken to the
landfill by an even greater margin.

Storm water Drainage:
All new development must meet City and state requirements for stormwater drainage. The
existing drainage conditions are being analyzed basin by basin in order to determine necessary
improvements and maintenance schedules. As funds permit, studies are continuing to be
conducted and construction of new infrastructure or repairs of existing facilities has been
started. The Phase I Group I drainage improvement projects are now complete. The Phase I
Group II projects have gone to bid and are in various stages of completion. Additionally,
specialized equipment ( climbing excavator) has also been purchased to handle the routine
maintenance required to keep systems functioning properly.
Recreation:
The City currently holds over 176.25 acres of public park lands. On average, the city has 7.49
acres of park land for every 1,000 residents which exceeds the 4.0 acre standard adopted by
the City. Although the City exceeds the adopted standard, all efforts need to be take to acquire
additional land before it is built over with subdivisions.
Many improvements have been made to existing park facilities in the past few years. The new
recreational complex on A.D. Mims Road is now complete and the City has added two new park
lands along Hackney Prairie Road and South Maguire Road. Because the City monitors
recreation for concurrency purposes by the amount of park land that is available for Ocoee
residents, the addition of these park have improved the level of service for recreation.
Additionally, the City is trying to secure park land within the Coke property which is being
purchased by the City in partnership with the Orange County School Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners direct staff to prepare a
Resolution to officially adopt the attached Concurrency Assessment of Infrastructure and
Services and an accompanying Infrastructure Deficiencies Map. The Infrastructure Deficiencies
Map will not show any infrastructure deficiencies.

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
..ki �.�., G. _.
A. Design capacity of the roadway '
network as defined by the current r
Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) Generalized Level Of Service p
(LOS) Tables. i ° 6._
Table 1 outlines the vehicle volumes and capacities of all of the
roadway segments monitored by the City of Ocoee's Concurrency
Management System (CMS). The shaded roadways in Table 1 are
non-CMS roadways that may need to be monitored for concurrency
in the future. It is believed that these roadways will become
increasingly important in Ocoee's future traffic circulation needs. For
this reason, they are being included as potential CMS roadways in
the most recent monitoring program. The total capacity (vehicles per
day) shown for all roadway segments is based on the adopted LOS
as set in the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan. All of the monitored
roadway segments have an adopted LOS D or LOS E.
Identified below is a summarized version of FDOT's definitions of
LOS A through LOS F:
• LOS A - Primarily free flow of traffic; vehicles operate almost
completely unimpeded.
• LOS B - Reasonably free flow of traffic; vehicle movement is only
slightly restricted.
• LOS C -Vehicle speed still at or near free flow; vehicle movement
is noticeably restricted.
• LOS D - Speeds begin to decline slightly with increasing traffic;
freedom to maneuver is noticeably limited.
• LOS E - Speeds are noticeably reduced; operation is at capacity
with little room to maneuver.
• LOS F - Breakdown in vehicular flow; roadway is "gridlocked".

B. The existing level of service measured by the average annual
number of trips per day on a roadway as provided by annual
traffic counts performed by the City of Ocoee's consultants. If a
roadway has reached the maximum capacity as defined by the
FDOT Generalized LOS Tables, the applicant may provide a
more detailed LOS analysis based on the current FDOT LOS
Standards and Guidelines or the current FDOT Manual for
Uniform Traffic Studies. The detailed LOS analysis may include
the procedure described for a Speed and Delay Study.
The volumes for existing daily traffic on the various road segments
are shown on Table 1 under the heading Existing Daily Volumes
(vehicles per day). These volumes were established by 24 hour
traffic counts collected by the City's transportation planning
consultant in June 2000. Comparing this existing count data with the
Total Allowable Capacity, only two segments have existing counts
that exceed the FDOT generalized LOS capacity. The two segments
are listed below:
• Bowness Road from Story Road to Kissimmee Avenue
• Silver Star Road (SR438) from Bowness Road to Ocoee-Apopka
Road
Because of the margin of error involved in counting daily traffic, the
State actually allows cities to "cap' the daily volumes higher than the
roadway capacity established for the adopted LOS. It is for this
reason the City's concurrency management system does not place a
road segment on the Infrastructure Deficiencies Map until it reaches
115 percent of the LOS of that particular roadway segment. (See
Paragraph F below for a discussion of capacities of roadway
segments after reserved trips are added to existing trips.)
C. The adopted LOS standards (as defined by the current FDOT
Generalized Tables) for all roads classified under the FDOT's
roadway functional classification system.
The adopted LOS for all roadways is listed on Table 1. If a roadway
or road segment has reached the maximum capacity for vehicles per
day, an applicant may opt to submit an alternative method of study
using the current FDOT LOS Standards and Guidelines.
D. The existing unallocated capacities or deficiencies of the
roadway network.
The available capacities under today's traffic conditions are obtained
by subtracting existing daily volumes from the total roadway capacity.
City of Ocoee-Inventory for Concwrency Management Page4
Other than the two segments listed under section B, all roads have
capacity based on existing traffic ( before reserved trips are
accounted for).
E. The capacities reserved for those projects with a Final
Certificate of Concurrency or Transportation Capacity
Reservation Certificate.
Trips are reserved for those projects with Final Certificates of
Concurrency (FCC's) or Transportation Capacity Reservation
Certificates (TCRC's). These projects with reserved trips are listed
on Table 2. The total reserved trips for each road segment are also
listed on 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 total trips 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 must be less than 115 percent
of the maximum allowable capacity for each road segment, or the
segment is placed on the Infrastructure Deficiencies Map.
Based on existing trips plus reserved trips, there are no segments
that exceed the 115 percent threshold, however, there are five
segments over 100 percent of the maximum capacity. Once a
roadway segment reaches 115 percent, it must be placed on the
infrastructure Deficiencies Map and development may not be
approved which affects that roadway segment unless a project is
vested, has a valid FCC or TCRC, or if an alternative study proves
the segment would still operate at acceptable FDOT standards.
The above discussion is based on the execution of a developer
agreement between the City and Florida Auto Auction. This
agreement provides funding for the four laning of Maguire Road from
Marshall Farms Road to Story Road. The four laning provides
additional capacity which removes this roadway segment from the
Infrastructure Deficiencies Map.
The five segments that exceed the 100% threshold are listed below.
These segments will be monitored closely and if any of them (or any
other segment) reaches 115 percent, the City Commission will be
notified.

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.
Concurrent with the construction of the Wal-Mart Supercenter, the
developer will be responsible for building numerous intersection and
access improvements that will improve the flow of traffic in the State
Road 50 corridor. The improvements include:
• Raise concrete median ( access management) on State Road 50
from Bluford Avenue to Blackwood Avenue.
• Northbound left and southbound right at Bluford Avenue and
State Road 50.
• Northbound right and signalization improvements at State Road
50 and Blackwood Avenue.
• Turn lanes at State Road 50 and new Hemple Avenue.
• Turn lanes and signalization at Blackwood Avenue and Old
Winter Garden Road.
• Right-of-way dedications to allow for the widening of Old Winter
Garden Road.
Contained within the developers agreement between the City and
the Florida Auto Auction is a funding source to widen Maguire Road
from Mercantile Court to Story Road as well as, the dedication of
right-of-way along Story Road, Maguire Road and Marshall Farms
Road. These provisions will create needed roadway capacity in the
Maguire Road corridor.
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 FDOT, or other public agency and the impact of such
improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies.
City of Ocoee-Inventory for Concurrency Management Page8
The first three phases of the Maguire Road widening, from Roberson
Road to Mercantile Court (north of State Road 50) is planned to be
completed during the Year 2001/02. The fourth phase of Maguire
Road in still under design. Completion of this segment is dependent
on funding from the developers agreement with the Florida Auto
Auction. The construction of Professional Parkway / Old Winter
Garden Road is slated to begin in the year 2001. The four laning of
this roadway, as well as the intersection improvements at Maguire
Road and Old Winter Garden Road will create a parallel roadway to
State Road 50. The parallel roadway allows motorist in southern
Ocoee to travel east/west without using State Road 50.
The extension of Maine Street as a four lane roadway from
Blackwood Avenue to Bluford Avenue and then to Maguire Road will
create another parallel roadway to State Road 50. This roadway will
function similar to Professional Parkway by allowing motorists to
travel east/west without using State Road 50. This project is
dependent on funding.
Orange County has three proposed projects in its current CIP which
will have an impact on Ocoee's road system. Clarcona-Ocoee Road
from Hiawassee Road to Ocoee-Apopka Road is planned to be
widened to four lane in the Year 2002/03. Old Winter Garden Road
from Apopka-Vineland to Hemple Avenue is scheduled to be
widened to four lanes in the Year 2002/03.
The FDOT is in the right-of-way acquisition phase of its Silver Star
Road (from Hiawassee Road to Clarke Road) widening project. This
project and intersection improvements at the intersection of Silver
Star and Ocoee-Apopka Road are both in the FDOT's current Five-
Year Plan.
The first segment of the Western Expressway, from US 441 in
Apopka to State Road 50 in Ocoee, was completed in the summer of
2000. It is anticipated that the next segment from State Road 50 to
the Turnpike will be completed by the year 2001. The extension from
the Turnpike south to Disney should be under construction within five
years. This roadway is anticipated to change the driving habits of
many west Orange County residents. Changes in Ocoee's traffic
patterns will be closely monitored when the project is complete.
The State of Florida has recently allocated funding for two separate
improvement projects along State Road 50. The first project will
involve intersection improvements along the State Road 50 corridor
from Pine Hills Road to the Lake County Line. These improvements
should occur within the next few years.
City of Ocoee-Inventory for Concunency Management Page9
The second project involves design work that will ultimately result in
the six laning of State Road 50. Although the design work has been
funded, the funds necessary for right-of-way acquisition and
construction have not been allocated. The completion of this project
is still outside of the five year window.
Progress on the above projects will be monitored and changes to the
roadway capacities will be made as appropriate.
Annual update of the City's transportation network as modeled
using the Region's most recent OUATs model.
During the fall of 1997, City staff and the City's transportation
consultant, TransCore, began developing a Master Transportation
Plan for the City of Ocoee. This plan is intended to identify the
various transportation issues that will affect the City through the year
2020. The plan was adopted by the City Commission in the fall of
1998.

II. SANITARY SEWER
A. The design capacity of the
wastewater treatment facility. r CITY OF OOOEE
WASTEWATER ,
TREATMENT p,.—
The Cityof OcoeehasFACILITY one .tea 1800 A.D.MIMS ROAD
wastewater treatment facility 1
with a permitted treatment
capacity of 3.0 million gallons
per day (MGD). The current
Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) operation permit limits treatment
capacity to the current effluent disposal capacity of 2.35 MGD. This
is the current permitted effluent disposal capacity of the combined
wastewater treatment plant site effluent ponds and 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 taken from June 1999
through May 2000 and then averaged for the 12-month period) is
1.322 MGD (1,322,000 gallons per day).
There are 5,109 sanitary sewer customers on record with the Utility
Department, each with an existing LOS of 258 gallons per day (GPD)
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.
D. The existing capacities or deficiencies of the system.
The limiting factor for Ocoee's wastewater treatment plant is its
permitted effluent disposal capacity. To address the limiting factor,
the City has begun the construction of Phase I of an effluent reuse
project that will allow us to distribute reclaimed water to the homes
and businesses along the Clarke Road corridor. Phase I of this
effluent reuse project will increase the wastewater treatment facility's
effluent disposal capacity to 1.5 MGD, and future phases of the
project will bring our ultimate effluent disposal capacity to
City of Ocoee-Inventory for Concurrency Management Page/I
approximately 3.5 MGD. Phase I will be completed by December
2000.
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 Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) permit. Currently, the City has 207,153 gallons of
capacity that have been permitted / reserved and are still unused.
The reserved capacity is tracked by the Finance Department.
The current wastewater facility has a treatment capacity of 3.0 MGD.
The system as currently permitted by DEP for effluent disposal can
treat a total of 2.35 MGD or 8,704 ERUs. With the 1.322 MGD
current use (which equates to 4,896 ERUs) and 207,153 gallons
reserved (as permitted) for unbuilt development the total exiting and
reserved demand on the wastewater facility is 1,529,153 gallons per
day. Adequate permitted capacity still remains for over 820,000
gallons of wastewater treatment or for 3,040 ERUs.
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.
All new development along the Clarke Road corridor will be required
to install reuse lines as part of their infrastructure improvements.
This includes the Prairie Lakes developments, Remington Oaks,
Olympia PUD, West Oaks Town Center and other property along
Clarke Road.
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.
Construction of Phase I of the effluent reuse project has begun and
will be completed by the end the year 2000.

III. POTABLE WATER
A. The design capacity of the potable
water treatment facilities. n'"o'a
There are three water plants
interconnected in the City of Ocoee.
The pumping capacity permitted by
FDEP is as follows:
South Water Plant: 5.076 MGD
Forest Oaks Water Plant: 3.096 MGD , rg a
Jamela Water Plant: 2.880 MGD Total for the 3 Plants: 11.052 MGD (36,840 ERUs)
The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD)
regulates the allowable water withdrawal for potable water production
for the City's water system. The average annual daily flow (AADF)
for 2000 as permitted by SJRWMD is 3.555 MGD (11,850 ERUs)
and 3.656 MGD (12,186) for 2001. These are calendar year permits
so the majority of our fiscal year will be measured against the 3.656
MGD.
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 June 1999 through May 2000 was 5.618 MGD. Taking
the 20 percent average deduction for unmetered losses for such
things as hydrant flushing, leakage's, and calibration variances in the
meters, the average daily number of gallons actually used by
customers in the system is 4.494 MGD. (The American Waterworks
Association Research Foundation has estimated that leakage's of up
to 26 percent can be expected from a system of our size.)
There are currently 8,704 customers representing approximately
14,980 ERUs in the system. Taking the number of ERUs and the
average flow used by customers in the system, the existing LOS is
300 GPD/ERU.
C. The existing potable water storage capabilities of the water
system.
The water storage capabilities are as follows:
South Water Plant: 1,250,000 Gallons
City of Ocoee-Inventory for Concurrency Management Page 13
Forest Oaks Water Plant: 1,050,000
Jamela Water Plant: 1,000,000
Total: 3,300,000 Gallons
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 modeling). The existing system 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 300 GPD/ERU meets the adopted LOS as
outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. In fact, this figure is a reduction
of 17 GPD/ERU from the 317 GPD/ERU average last year. This
decrease is largely attributed to the City's POWR program. Despite
the carryover of last years drought, which leads to more water
demand for the watering of yards, the City's water customers used
less water. The overall water usage may continue to decrease once
the effects of the drought are diminished and after the City's reuse
system is in place and certain parts of the City start using reclaimed
water for irrigating their lawns. (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 developments as those portions
of a project which have not yet been built but which have potable
water capacity reserved through a DEP permit. The Finance
Department tracks the projects which fall under this category and the
number of potable water gallons that have been reserved and are
still unused for each of those projects. According to the City's
records, 219,000 gallons per day have been reserved and not are
still not used.
With a permitted well pumping capacity of 3.656 MGD, the 4.494
MGD averaged for the past year and the 219,000 gallons reserved
for approved but unbuilt development, put the system - as permitted -
Lily of Ocoee-Inventory for Concurrency Management Pagel,/
over capacity. This again is a result of having to use strictly potable
water for irrigation purposes. As the reuse lines are put in place and
the reclaimed water system becomes operational, the potable water
demand will decline accordingly.
Additionally, the City's POWR program has continued as a public
information and education program in cooperation with the St. Johns
River Water Management District. One of the goals of this program
was to reduce potable water demand by 10 percent by the summer
of 2000. It should also be noted that the reserved capacity for
approved but unbuilt development will come on line over the next
several years and should not impact the City's water treatment
capacity at one time. It is included in this report as a tool to helping
plan for future needs of the system.
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.
There are no trunk line potable water system improvements
scheduled to be made by developers in this fiscal year; however, as
stated previously in this report, the installation of reuse lines by future
developers along the Clarke Road corridor will help alleviate 30-to-40
percent of total residential flows for those future customers which can
be directly attributed to irrigation purposes.
The improvements to be made in the current fiscal year by the
City of Ocoee and the impact of such improvements on the
existing capacities or deficiencies.
As part of the recent bond issue, the City has completed major
upgrades to the South Water Plant and Forest Oaks Water Plant.
These improvements include new wells and high service pumps. In
late 1998 the City begun construction on major enhancements to the
distribution system.
The City has also begun construction of the first phase of the
wastewater reuse project. The City will be able to supply reuse
water to selected areas by the end of 2000. This will reduce the
irrigation demand on the water system which will reduce the amount
of water pumped. The wastewater reuse project will initially serve
the mall area and Clarke Road medians with reclaimed water. That
alone will cut the potable water consumption by some 250 ERUs.
The 1997 Bond Issue included funds for the future retrofitting of
several existing subdivisions along the Clarke Road corridor. The
City of Ocoee-Inventory for Concwrency Management Pagel J
design of the retrofit is underway. That phase of the project will take
another estimated 400 ERUs off the daily flows. We are also
working on an agreement with Orlando and Orange County to allow
us to tap into the Conserve line that runs along Roberson Road.
This would allow us to provide reuse water for irrigation to Wesmere,
Windermere Groves, and Cross Creek as well as other development
that will occur south of the Turnpike along Maguire Road. This will
further reduce our withdrawal from the aquifer and will bring us at or
below the level of withdrawal permitted by SJRWMD.

IV. SOLID WASTE
A. The percentage of the total r r'
amount of solid waste
disposal capacity allocated to 3
the City of Ocoee by Orange x . r .
County or other applicable -
solid waste disposal facilities. -w-`"
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 limitation or of any maximum allowable waste that will be
accepted from the City. To this end, the City will permit additional
customers until notified otherwise by the County.
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 adopted 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 1
garbage from recyclable and yard waste.
From July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000, a total of 8,424 tons of
Class 1 residential garbage was transported by the City of Ocoee to
the Orange County landfill. That figure averages out to 702 tons per
month or 1,404,000 pounds per month or 46,800 pounds per day.
There are currently 8,082 residential garbage customers
(households) in Ocoee. At 41,538 pounds per day, that equates to
5.79 pounds per day per customer or 1.93 pounds per person per
day. The pounds per day per customer figure is consistent with
previous years.
Yard waste is contracted out to Jennings Environmental. According
to recent estimates, the average daily yard waste per customer is
2.98 pounds per customer per day or .99 pounds per person per day.
That added to the above figure for Class 1 garbage equals 2.92
pounds per person per day. This is still well below the 6 pounds per
person per day adopted LOS.
City of Ocoee-Inventory for Concurrency Management Page 17
A total of 1103 tons of residential recyclables was collected from July
1999 to June 2000. That amounts to 5.25 pounds per household per
week. This represents a 1/4 pound decrease in the amount of
weekly recycling per household from the previous year.
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.
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 began recycling in
1995. 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 as long as they are certified as a recovered materials
dealer.

project. In addition to projects associated with new development,
the City has begun several projects to help improve stormwater
conditions in the City. These projects have been divided into several
phases and groups.
The Phase I Group I drainage improvement projects are complete.
These were mostly underdrain improvements to solve yard flooding.
The Phase I Group II projects have gone to bid are in various stages
of completion. These improvements address localized flooding at
the intersection of the intersection of Flewelling and Russell
(complete) , the Sullivan Ditch (complete), Pioneer Key I (ongoing
process), and others.
The climbing excavator has been used extensively to maintain
ditches throughout the City. It can travel along the bottom of a ditch,
through up to four feet of standing water. It allows routine custodial
maintenance of ditches for which there is a limited right-of-way, by
minimizing the need to travel along the top of the ditch bank.
As reported previously, the City was 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. The final permit was issued on February 14, 1996.
The permit was effective April 1, 1996 and is valid through February
28, 2001. It includes 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 176.25 acres of park
land in the City of Ocoee. The - ,,
list of parks with the
corresponding acres is included
in Table 3. '
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.
According to the Bureau of Economic and Business Research
(BEBR) at the University of Florida, the latest population figures for
Ocoee show 23,531 permanent residents ( estimate as of 4/1/00.
Actual figure will be released with the latest census report). With
176.25 acres of existing park land, that gives the City an existing
LOS of 7.49 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. As stated above, the existing LOS is 7.49 acres of park
land for every 1,000 current residents. This leaves sufficient capacity
in the system for additional residents. In fact, there is sufficient
capacity to add 23,486 residents without exceeding the adopted LOS
of 4 acres of park land per 1,000 residents.
D. The capacities reserved for those projects with a Final
Certificate of Concurrency.
There is a total of 3.18 acres reserved through Final Certificates of
Concurrency.
E. The projected capacities or deficiencies due to those projects
with a Final Certificate of Concurrency.
As stated above, there are 3.18 acres reserved for residential
developments with Final Certificates of Concurrency. This equates
to an additional 795 residents. Since the City has a recreation
capacity that exceed 23,000 residents there are no deficiencies in
park acreage as a result of planned development.

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 by developers in the 2000-01 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, but it does reduce the demand on certain
public facilities.
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.
The new recreational complex on A.D. Mims Road will operate under
a lease arrangement with the Wastewater Fund for the land it will
occupy. Since this lease arrangement is in place, and the first
phase of the project is complete the 13 acres for Phase I has been
included in the inventory of park lands.
The City is also planning to add approximately 40 acres to the city-
wide park system in the near future. At this time it is anticipated that
the majority of the new park area will be in the northwest area of the
City. Currently the City is in the process of purchasing the "Coke'
property which should provide a significant boost in the total
acreage. The 40 acres has not been included in the inventory.
