MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners of the City of Ocoee
FROM: Jason G. Williams, Esq., Assistant City Attorney
THROUGH: Paul E. Rosenthal, Esq., City Attorney
DATE: July 9, 2001
RE: Maronda Homes -Amendment of Easement
The attached Amendment of Easement proposed by Maronda Homes would
reduce the size of a drainage easement granted to the City along the side lot line of lot 135 of
The Reserve, a residential subdivision, from 10 feet to 9 feet. This amendment is necessary
because Maronda Homes constructed a new home upon lot 135 that encroaches into the
drainage easement by approximately three to four inches. The City Engineering Department
has reviewed the amendment and has concluded that the reduction in size of the easement
causes no technical problems with the drainage easement.
RECOMMENDATION:
It respectfully is recommended that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the
Amendment of Easement and authorize execution by the Mayor and City Clerk.
