STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 8, 2001
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Russ Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning j
SUBJECT: Saturn of Ocoee
2N0 Special Exception Extension
Project# 1-1SE-99
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve a second twelve (12) month extension to
the Special Exception for Saturn of Ocoee as an Automobile Sales and Automobile Repair Use
in a C-2 zone?
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on the south side of SR 50, just west of Good Homes Road,
across from Good Homes Plaza. The property is currently undeveloped and is occupied by an
old orange grove. The original Special Exception for this use was approved by the City
Commission on July 20, 1999. The site plan for the proposed Saturn of Ocoee dealership has
been approved, but permits for construction have not yet been obtained.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant's agent has requested this additional twelve (12) month extension due to a
corporate restructuring in order to finish processing the building plans for the new dealership
(see attached letter from Scott Gentry, RE.). They feel that this extension will enable Saturn to
have the building plans approved and begin construction by early 2002.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve a second
twelve (12) month extension to the Special Exception for Saturn of Ocoee (Case # 1.1SE-
99), to be constructed by July 20, 2002 in accordance with all the Conditions of Approval
in the original Special Exception approval dated July 20, 1999.

Re: Saturn of Ocoee
Special Exception Extension
Dear Russ:
On behalf of our client, Saturn Retail of Florida, Inc.,we are requesting a twelve(12)
month extension from July 20, 2001 to July 20, 2002. This extension will enable
Saturn to resubmit building plans,have them approved, and apply for a construction
permit. We are also requesting that you schedule this extension at the next available
City Council meeting for approval.
At this time Saturn is restructuring their corporate and private dealerships within the
State of Florida. Until this restructuring is complete, which is anticipated at the end
of this year, Saturn Retail of Florida,Inc. has scaled hack development and this
project has been put on hold. The Saturn of Ocoee project should move forward in
the early months of next year with approval for construction.
We appreciate your assistance on this matter. Should you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
KELLY, COLLINS & GENTRY,INC.
