RE: Avanti/West Groves Subdivision: Development Agreement
The City has required that the owners of the "West Groves Property" enter into a
Development Agreement in connection with the approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for
the Avanti/West Groves Subdivision ("the Preliminary Plan"). The Development Agreement
addresses certain responsibilities of the Developer (and its successors) with respect to the
development of the West Groves Property. Certain obligations of the City are also addressed, as
well as development entitlements granted by the City to the Developer. The following is a
summary of the highlights of the Development Agreement:
(1) The Development Agreement places in the Public Records the Conditions of
Approval and the Waivers set forth on the Preliminary Plan.
(2) Water and sewer improvements are to be extended to the West Groves Property
pursuant to a separate agreement between the Developer and Orange County.
(3) Tracts W, W-1 and W-3 as shown on the Preliminary Plan arc to be dedicated to
the City without any road impact fee credits or other compensation. The City is
not entitled to require the conveyance of these lands until eighteen (I8) months
after approval of the Preliminary Plan provided that the Final Plan has been
approved at such time. The City may require conveyance of these lands at an
earlier date if the City gives notice that it intends to proceed with the construction
of certain improvements thereon.
(4) Tract W is a rectangular shaped parcel on the northern end of the West Groves
Property which provides a second access from Ocoee-Apopka Road (CR 437)
west to the West Groves Property. This Tract is to be publicly dedicated and will
also provide public access to the adjacent property to the north and south thereof
which is not part of the Avanti/West Groves Subdivision. A paved public
roadway consisting of two 12 foot drive lanes designed as an urban section, with a
minimal left turn lane requirement leading to CR 437 and a minimal left turn lane
\\V
006 218991.1
intersection improvement at CR 437, will be constructed on Tract W.
Construction will occur at such time as Villages C-3 and C-4 are developed, but
in no event later than 114 months from the recording of the first plat for any
portion of the West Groves Property. These improvements will be constructed by
the Developer unless they are required at an earlier date by the adjacent
landowners to the north and south in which case the improvements will be
constructed by those landowners. The public roadway will connect to the private
roadway within the development as shown on the Preliminary Plan.
(5) In the event the Developer constructs the roadway improvements within Tract W,
the City may require that utility improvements be oversized at the City's expense.
(6) Tract W-1 is the primary public entrance to the development located at the
southern end of the property and provides access from Ocoee-Apopka Road.
Tract W-1 will connect to the private portion of West Groves Boulevard which
will be gated to preclude public access. Additionally, Tract W-t connects to
Tract W-3 which will provide a public extension of West Groves Boulevard to
connect to the Coca-Cola Property owned by the City.
(7) The Developer is obligated to construct a four-lane median divided road section,
together with appropriate turn lanes and striping within Tract W-1. The two
outside lanes will initially be constructed as part of the first phase of development
and will be completed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Completion. The two
interior lanes will be constructed by the Developer at the time of development of
the commercial or multi-family parcels adjacent thereto or at the time of
development of Villages C-3/C-4. Additionally, the City may require that the
Developer construct the two interior lanes at an earlier date if needed in
connection with the development of the Coca-Cola Property. The Developer will
not receive any road impact fees or reimbursement for these improvements on
Tract W-1.
(8) The Developer will dedicate Tract W-3 to the City, but is not required to make
any improvements thereto. Road improvements on Tract W-3 will be the
financial responsibility of the City to the extent needed for development of the
Coca-Cola Property.
(9) The City, at the City's expense, is responsible to design, engineer, permit and
construct all required intersection improvements located within the CR 437 right-
of-way at the intersection of CR 437 and Tract W-1, including but not limited to,
turn lanes, deceleration and acceleration lanes, paving, drainage and othcr
required intersection improvements. These improvements must be completed no
later than the date of completion of improvements to be constructed by Orange
County for the West Road connection to CR 437 on the east side of the CR 437
right-of-way.
(10) Upon approval of the Preliminary Plan the City will issue a Final Certificate of
Concurreney. Subject to the Developer complying with certain development
006.218991.1 2
obligations and commencing construction of Phase 1AI of the subdivision, the
development will not be subject to any further concurrency review by the City.
(11) Tracts R through R-6 as shown on Drawing 3b of the Preliminary Plan will be
conveyed to the City following the issuance of the Water Management District
permits, unless conveyance to the Water Management District is otherwise
required. Except for Tract R-6, public access on these lands will be prohibited
and no trespassing signs will be posted by the City. It is anticipated that Tract R-
6 will be utilized for public access to Lakc Apopka in connection with the future
development of the Coca-Cola Property recreational facilities. Other "R" Tracts
may be subject to conservation casements.
(12) The Developer will provide the City with an exclusive easement for monument
signage at the northwest and southwest corners of the intersection of CR 437 and
West Road Extension. This monument signage would be utilized by the City in
connection with the development of the Coca-Cola Property.
The specific provisions of the Development Agreement are the result of lengthy and extensive
discussions with the Developer. The City staff supports the approval of the agreements set forth
in the Development Agreement.

(c) The date of completion of the subdivision improvements in
Villages C-3/C-4.
If the Developer fails to complete the two interior lanes (along with the two outer lanes, if

without limitation utility lines and lift stations) and roadway
facilities as shown on the Final Plan, which shall be consistent
with the Preliminary Plan, on, over, under and through the
wetlands, subject to compliance with all applicable governmental
ordinances, laws, rules and regulations.
(b) The condition that there shall be no public access to any portion
of such properties (except for Tract R-6) which is to be dedicated
and conveyed to the City.
(c) If requested by the Developer, the City, at its expense, shall post
no trespass signs on Tracts R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5,
provided, however, that the City shall have no obligation to
maintain, repair or replace such signs. The Developer may, at its
option, maintain, repair and/or replace such signs at the
Developer's expense. Developer may elect to install fences on
the Developer's property to prohibit public access, subject to
compliance with all permitting requirements.
3. Any wetland tract not dedicated or conveyed to the City or the District
shall be encumbered by a conservation and drainage easement in form
required by the City and the District and conveyed to the homeowners
association to be formed with respect to the Property. Any dedication or
conveyance of a conservation easement shall provide a specific
reservation by the Developer so that the Developer may develop and
maintain a boardwalk and dock/pier (including utility facilities for the
boardwalk and dock) in the location generally depicted on Drawing 3 and
0062186943 -11-
on Drawing 6 on the Preliminary Plan, subject to the obtaining of all
applicable permits necessary for the construction of such improvements.
12. Monument Signage Easement. At the time of recordation in the Public Records of
Orange County, Florida of the first subdivision plat for any portion of the Property, the
Developer shall grant to the City (or its designees) a perpetual non-exclusive easement
for monument signage at the northwest and southwest corners of the intersection of
CR 437 and the West Road Extension as shown on Sheet 4 of the Preliminary Plan.
The easement areas will be triangular in shape and the rear line of each easement shall
be 75 linear feet; provided, however, that all setback obligations related to Parcel R-3
and Parcel C-2 will be measured from the right-of-way line of the roads, not from the
area which includes assigned easements; the intent of the City being that no additional
setback obligations will be required due to the granting of the sign easements. Further
(i) the form and content of all such monument signage erected by the City or its
designees and the location thereof within the easement area shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Developer and consistent with the signage and architectural plans for
the subject property; and (ii) the signage erected by the City or its designees shall be in
addition to (and shall not in any way diminish) the amount of signage which may be
constructed by the Developer and its designees on the Property.
13. Notice. Any notice delivered with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and be
deemed to be delivered (whether or not actually received) when (1) hand delivered to
the other party at the address appearing on the first page of this Agreement, or (ii)
when deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt
requested, addressed to the party at the address appearing on the first page of this
Agreement, or such other person or address as the party shall have specified by written
notice to the other party delivered in accordance herewith.
14. Assignment; Covenant Running with the Land.
1. The Developer may assign and transfer all of its rights, privileges,
obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement to a successor
developer who acquires fee simple title to the Property and in connection
therewith assumes all of the rights, privileges, obligations and
responsibilities of the Developer under this Agreement. Upon any such
assignment and assumption and the recording thereof in the Public
Records of Orange County, Florida, it is agreed that the Developer shall
be released from all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder so
long as the form of any such assignment and assumption has been
approved by the City.
2. This Agreement shall run with the Property and inure to and be for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
and any person, firm, corporation, or entity who may become the
successor in interest to the Property or any portion thereof.
-12-

Agreement shall be recorded by the City, at the Developer's expense, in the Public
Records of Orange County, Florida. The City will, from time to time upon request of
the Developer, execute and deliver letters affirming the status of this Agreement.
16. Applicable Law. This Agreement and the provisions contained herein shall be
construed, controlled, and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Florida.
17. Time of the Essence. Time is hereby declared of the essence to the lawful
performance of the duties and obligations contained in this Agreement.
18. Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, along with the Preliminary Plan,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all previous
discussions, understandings and agreements, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Amendments to and waivers of the provisions of this Agreement shall be made by the
parties only in writing by formal amendment.

enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement by an action for specific
performance.
21. Attorneys' Fees. In the event that either party finds it necessary to commence an
action against the other party to enforce any provision of this Agreement or because of
a breach by the other party of any terms hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys' fees, paralegal fees and costs
incurred in connection therewith, at both trial and appellate levels, including bankruptcy
proceedings, without regard to whether any legal proceedings are commenced or
whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.
23. Captions. Captions of the Sections and Subsections of this Agreement are for
convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be
held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction, or meaning
of the provisions of this Agreement.

Agreement is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent
-13-

provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion hereof
so long as the purpose and intent of this Agreement can still be achieved.
25. Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the day this Agreement
is last executed by a party hereto and such date shall be inserted on Page 1 of this

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The City of Ocoee is subject to the terms, provisions, and restrictions of F.S. Chapter
163 concerning moratoria on the issuance of building permits under certain
circumstances. The City has no lawful authority to exempt any private entity or itself
from the application of such State legislation, and nothing herein shall be construed as
such an exemption.
2. Any damage caused to Ocoee-Apopka Road, or damage caused to Tract W (West
Groves Boulevard [Public]), Tract W-1 (West Road Extension [Phase 1]), or Tract W-3
(West Road Extension [future]) following their conveyance to the City, as a result of
the construction activities related to the project, shall be promptly repaired by the
Developer to the applicable government standards at the Developer's sole cost and
expense.
3. There shall be no access from the property to CR 437 or to Tract W-1 (West Road
Extension [Phase 1]) or Tract W-3 (West Road Extension [future]) except at the
approved locations shown on the Final Subdivision Plan.
4. A perpetual, non-exclusive easement for access over all internal roadways and paved
areas shall be granted in favor of the City of Ocoee and other applicable authorities for
law enforcement, fire, and other emergency services.
5. All legal instruments, including but not limited to the declaration of easements,
covenants and restrictions, association documents, and deeds conveying Property to the
homeowners association, shall be approved by the City prior to plat approval.
6. A copy of the "Overall Master Plan" (Drawing 3), "Construction Phasing Plan"
[Drawing 3.(a)], "Tract Designation Plan" [Drawing 3.(b)], and the Conditions of
Approval [Drawing 3.(c)] from the Final Subdivision Plan approved by the City of
Ocoee, shall be available for review by the prospective buyers in all sales offices.
7. Pursuant to the submission dated February 14, 2000 from Glatting, Jackson, et al, to
the City of Ocoee, the attachment referred to as "Figure 1" depicts the approximate
location of an abandoned eagles nest. In the event the eagle does return to the nest, a
management plan will be developed and submitted to the US Fish & Wildlife Service
and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission for approval and permit.
8. Appropriate signage will be provided on Parcels C-2 and R-3 as notification to future
single-family lots purchasers of the intended use of the parcels. Signage will be a
minimum of 32 sq. ft. and placed in locations approved by the City of Ocoee.
006 218694 3 -23-
9. Community improvements, as shown on Drawing 3.(b) and referred to as Tracts A, B,
C, D, F, H, J-1, K, K-1, L, M, N, P, T, U, V, W-2, X, Y, Z, Z-1 and Z-2, will be
privately-owned and maintained by a homeowners association. The subdivision and its
associated documents shall comply with the private community standards of Orange
County Resolution No. 96-M-22.
10. No development will be allowed within 25' of the 100-year flood plain or wetlands,
except at locations specifically approved as part of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan.
11. All existing structures (including buildings, power lines, agricultural facilities, etc.), as
well as existing utility easements and access easements, will be removed and/or
terminated prior to or during construction of the development replacing those uses.
12. "West Groves Boulevard" will be designed so it will provide continuous, unobstructed
access from the entire subdivision to CR 437, as depicted on Drawing 3.(a). The
Developer will either connect Village C-3 and C-4 to Tract W (West Groves Boulevard
[Public]) over West Groves Boulevard (Phase 4, Option A), or over West Groves
Boulevard (Phase 4, Option B), or a third realignment acceptable to the City; all taking
into account the then-available access into the Battaglia Property. The road shall have
not less than two (2) unobstructed drive lanes, each of which shall be a minimum of 12'
wide; provided that the Developer may construct a larger section (such as, without
limitation, a 32' paved section that provides 8' of designated parking on one side of the
road, broken by periodic curb islands, with no parking on the other side of the road).
Notwithstanding, there shall be no on-street parking within the drive lanes along any
portion of West Groves Boulevard, with said restriction noted on appropriate signage
and enforced by the homeowners association in accordance with the homeowners
association documents. Nothing herein shall he construed as imposing an obligation on
the City to require the developer of the Battaglia Property to facilitate the continuation
of West Groves Boulevard through West Groves Boulevard (Phase 4, Option A).
13. Tracts W (West Groves Boulevard [Public]), W-I (West Road Extension [Phase 11) and
W-3 (West Road Extension [future]) depicted on Drawing 3.(b) shall be conveyed to
the City of Ocoee pursuant to terms contained within the Developers Agreement.
Provided, however, that the Developer shall not be required to make any conveyance
prior to approval of a Final Subdivision Plan. If the conveyance is prior to platting,
then the Developer shall be responsible for a Sketch of Description and legal
description; otherwise, the land to be conveyed will be shown as a separate tract on the
plat. Standard City developer agreement provisions related to conveyances will be
applicable, including but not limited to the provision providing that no road impact fee
credits will be granted for the conveyances.
14. a. Simultaneously with construction of the first phase of the development of the
Property, the Developer shall construct a stabilized 12' wide emergency access
(temporary) through Parcel R-3. The existence of the stabilized road shall be
D06.218694.3 -24
maintained by the Developer until West Groves Boulevard from CR 437 to Village C-
3/C-4 has been completed.
b. The location of the stabilized 12' Wide Emergency Access (temporary) shall be
as depicted on Drawing 4. Furthermore, subject to the approval of the City, the
Developer may choose to adjust the location of the road through Parcel R-3 so as not to
inhibit the development of Parcel R-3.
c. In addition to the foregoing, the Developer shall grant to the City a temporary
access easement, in form and substance acceptable to the City, over the Stabilized 12'
Wide Emergency Access (Temporary); the easement shall be effective commencing on
the date of the first building permit for a single-family residential dwelling unit in the
West Groves community, and terminating upon the completion of West Groves
Boulevard from CR 437 to Village C-3/C-4.
15. The lift stations referenced as Tract E and Tract G on Drawing 3.(b) will be dedicated
to Orange County. All such lift stations shall be fenced with black, vinyl chain-link
fence, with posts and rails painted black, and shall be set back no less than 25' from
any street. Such lift stations shall also be screened with hedge-type shrubbery, such as
viburnum or ligustrum.
16. All retention ponds will be unfenced and with slopes leading into the pond which are no
greater than 5-to-1; and back slopes no greater than 3-to-1.
17. If any portion of Parcel R-3 (which is the large parcel zoned R-3) is developed for any
use which is not currently permitted in the R-1-AA zoning district, the developer of
such portion(s) of Parcel R-3 shall construct a 6' buffer wall along the perimeter
Property lines of the portions of Parcel R-3 which are developed for uses not permitted
in the R-1-AA zoning district (except at the entrances to the parcel where a wall shall
not be required). Provided, however, that in the event Parcel R-3 is developed for a
use that requires a special exception in order for the use to be permitted in an R-1-AA
district, then the City may, at its option, eliminate the requirement that a 6' buffer wall
be constructed, or require another appropriate buffer to be constructed. Further,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Condition of Approval, if Parcel R-3 is
subdivided and a wall (or other appropriate buffer) is required, then the owner of each
portion of the parcel shall construct the portion of the wall (or other appropriate buffer)
at the time of development of its portion of Parcel R-3. In any case, a 6' buffer wall
may be required at the time of Development Plan approval along Ocoee-Apopka Road
and the Tract W-1 (West Road Extension [Phase 1]), except at entrances.
18. If there is a zoning designation which permits residential development or a school on
the real Property which is adjacent to the southern boundary of Parcel C-2 (the +20
acre-parcel zoned C-2) when Parcel C-2 is developed, then the owner of Parcel C-2
shall construct a 6' buffer wall along the entire southern boundary of Parcel C-2. If
there is no zoning designation for residential development or a school on the adjacent
southern boundary when Parcel C-2 is developed, then no such wall shall be required.
DD6218694.3 -25
Furthermore, no wall shall be required along the northern or eastern boundaries of
Parcel C-2. This provision shall not exempt the property from the general screening
provisions of Ordinance No. 99-23. For purposes hereof, "developed" means the
issuance of a building permit for a commercial structure in accordance with the Final
Subdivision Plan approved by the City.
19. a. With the exception of Tract W (West Groves Boulevard [Public]), W-1 (West
Road Extension [Phase 1]), and W-3 (West Road Extension [future]), which shall be
conveyed to the City of Ocoee, pursuant to Condition of Approval #13 above, all other
roads within the subdivision shall be private roads, which will be owned and maintained
by the homeowners association.
b. The Developer shall develop Tract W-1 (West Road Extension [Phase I]). The

Johns River Water Management District for intrusion or enhancement of
wetlands, then the Developer will submit to the City a modification of the
current Preliminary Subdivision Plan wherein no intrusion or enhancement
of wetlands is provided.
