3. Approval of Interlocal Agreements for Police Dispatching Services with the City of
Winter Garden. (Police Chief Brown)
The Police Department is asking to renew our contract with the City of Winter Garden for police dispatching
services. The cost for dispatching services for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 will be $608,324.00 with a maximum
5% increase for subsequent years through Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The City of Winter Garden Commission has
approved the proposed contract. Additionally, as the City of Winter Garden provides dispatch services for the
Town of Windermere, there is an additional Interlocal Agreement that allows City of Winter Garden to continue
their current practice of dispatching Windermere Police units on the City of Ocoee radio talk groups.
4. Approval of Agreement with Violations Hearing Special Magistrate. (Police Chief
Brown)
On May 1, 2018, the City adopted Ordinance 2018-018 which established the Violations Hearing Special
Magistrate (the “Special Magistrate”). The Special Magistrate hears and considers contests of designated City
Code violations including, but not limited to, violations relating to nuisance fire alarms, noise, and parking
violations. Attorney Robin Drage has served as the City’s Special Magistrate since May 2018, but recently
resigned from her post. The City Attorney recommends local attorney Chenicqua (Nikki) Williams be retained
to serve as the Violations Hearing Special Magistrate. Ms. Williams is very experienced in local government
matters and in code enforcement.

PUBLIC HEARING
5. Request for Variance – Chaudhry Property, 1108 East Silver Star Road;
Project No: VR-19-02. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, September 19, 2019)
(Zoning Manager Gajadhar)
The applicant, Nasim Chaudhry, is requesting approval for a minimum required lot width variance from 70 feet
to 65.56 feet in order to meet the City of Ocoee Single-Family Dwelling (R-1) zoning requirements. The subject
property was a result of a recent lot split from plots 22, 23, and half of 21 of the Hillcrest Heights Ocoee
Subdivision Plat M. The lot split resulted in two lots, one with a width of 70.03 feet, and the other, the subject
lot, with a width of 65.56 feet. The original zoning of Orange County R-1 allowed a minimum lot width of 50
feet, but upon annexing into the city, the property now requires a minimum lot width of 70 feet to conform to
City of Ocoee Single-Family Dwelling (R-1) zoning requirements. The surrounding properties are zoned as “R-
1” Single-Family Dwelling with some having a lot width of 50 feet. Granting a 65.56 minimum lot width
variance to the applicant will allow for construction of a single-family dwelling on the property.
FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE
6. First Reading of Ordinance for VMG Estates/Ocoee Townhomes – 815 Clarcona Ocoee
Road Small Scale Land Use Amendment & Rezoning to Planned Unit Development
(PUD); Project No(s): CPA-2019-004 & RZ-19-08-10. (Second Reading and Public Hearing
scheduled for October 15, 2019, Regular Commission Meeting at 6:15 pm or soon thereafter.)
(City Planner Rumer)
The subject site is approximately 3.89 acres in size and is located at 815 Clarcona Ocoee Road, on the east side
of N. Lakewood Avenue. The subject site is currently undeveloped. The Parcel ID Number is 08-22-28-0000-
00-028. The parcel is currently zoned R-1 and has a Low Density Residential Land Use designation. The subject
property was annexed on December 4, 2019. At the time of annexation, the applicant did not know what type
of development density they needed to facilitate their plan for development. Staff decided to move the project
forward by annexing with the zoning and land use change at a later date. The applicant is proposing to rezone
the 3.89 acres from “Orange County” R-1 to “City of Ocoee” PUD in order to develop 26 townhome units. The
proposed density is seven (7) dwelling units per acre which is allowed under the Medium-Density Land Use
designation. The Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Land Use Amendment consists of classifying all 3.89 acres
of the subject property from “Low-Density Residential” to “Medium Density Residential” in order to
accommodate the density of seven (7) dwelling units per acre in the PUD. All townhome units will contain two
(2) car garages and provide an open space and recreation tract, stormwater retention, and a lift station tract. The
internal roadway will be public and meet minimum roadway standards. A Preliminary and Final Subdivision
Plan will be provided in the next step of the process.

SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE – PUBLIC HEARING
7. Second Reading of Ordinance for Skipper Property – 1936 Adair Street Annexation &
Rezoning; Project No(s): AX-05-19-82 & RZ-19-05-06. (Advertised in the West Orange Times
on Thursday, September 19, 2019 and Thursday, September 26, 2019.) (City Planner Rumer)
This parcel is located at directly west of Adair Street, south of 5th Avenue and west of Nicole Boulevard and
Marlene Drive. The subject parcel is approximately 1.01 acres with one (1) existing single-family residence.
The applicant is requesting to annex into the City limits as a condition to receive city portable water connection.
The current zoning is Orange County Rural/Agricultural, and the rezoning is proposed to receive City of Ocoee
Low Density Residential (R-1). The subject property is considered contiguous to the City of Ocoee since it is
bordered by property located within the City limits on the east. The property already benefits from Ocoee Fire
Rescue services via a joint “First Responder” Agreement with Orange County, and the property already receives
City of Ocoee water service. The proposed annexation is a logical extension of the City limits, urban services
can be provided, and the annexation meets state and local regulations.

This parcel is located on the east side of Blackwood Avenue, 1,050 feet south of Old Winter Garden Road. The
subject parcel is approximately 0.51 acres with one (1) existing single-family residence. The applicant is

by the City of Ocoee to the north and east. The property already benefits from Ocoee Fire Rescue services via
a joint “First Responder” Agreement with Orange County and benefits from City of Ocoee water service. The
proposed annexation is a logical extension of the City limits, urban services can be provided, and the annexation
meets state and local regulations. The parcel will receive a City of Ocoee “R-1” (Single-Family Dwelling)
zoning upon annexation.
