Background Summary:
Mrs. Whittemore, who resides at 2026 Clarcona-Ocoee Road and who owns the aforementioned properties,
approached the City for utility service. The properties were platted as part of the North Ocoee Addition No. 1
and undeveloped until recently. Currently Mrs. Whittemore is building single family residences on the six lots
and wants to connect to Ocoee's water system. The properties are currently within unincorporated Orange
County and are not contiguous to the City Limits. However the properties are inside the City's lPA boundary,
Water & Sewer Territorial Boundary, and City Limits. See attached map from City's GIS Department.
Therefore, this is just an Intent to Annex for Water Service at this time.
There is a 6" water main along the east side ofN. Lakewood Road (Clarcona-Ocoee Road) that could be tapped
for the water services to the six properties. There are no sewer facilities in the area to even consider sanitary
sewer service. There is available capacity in the potable water system for these six additional residential
customers.
The City's requirement about annexation/intent to annex to be able to provide service and the differences
between resident service and non-resident service were discussed with the Mrs. Whittemore. The City's fee
requirements for an Intent to Annex application approval were provided to the Mrs. Whittemore. Upon
annexation, the utility rates would reduce to city resident charges. Also, should the properties become
contiguous to the City Limits and Mrs. Whittemore or the current property owner decides to not proceed with the
annexation of the properties, the City has the right to discontinue service until such time as annexation is
completed.
The Development Review Committee approved the Intent to Annex for the properties located at 1137, 1143,
1149, 1155, 1161, and 1167 C1arcona-Ocoee Road at a meeting held on April 3, 2007. The DRC approval was
contingent upon requesting right-of-way along Clarcona-Ocoee Road for future widening ofthe road.
Issue:
Approval and execution of the Intent to Annex Agreements with Elizabeth L. Whittemore to provide water
service to her properties at 1137, 1143, 1149, 1155, 1161, and 1167 Clarcona-Ocoee Road.
Recommendations

Mrs. Elizabeth Whittemore at 1527 Clarcona-Ocoee Road and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
Annexation Agreements and direct staff to proceed with the process to provide the Whittemore properties with
City water service.
Attachments:
1) Map showing property
2) Annexation Agreements for the six parcels

RE:
Intent to Annex for Water Service for Elizabeth L. Whittemore Properties at
1137, 1143, 1149, 1155, 1161, and 1167 Clarcona-Ocoee Road
ISSUE
Staff requests that the Mayor and City Commission approve and execute the Intent to Annex Agreement with
Elizabeth L. Whittemore to provide water service to her properties at 1137, 1143, 1149, 1155, 1161, and 1167
Clarcona-Ocoee Road.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION
Mrs. Whittemore, who resides at 2026 Clarcona-Ocoee Road and who owns the aforementioned properties,
approached the City for utility service. The properties were platted as part of the North Ocoee Addition No. 1
and undeveloped until recently. Currently Mrs. Whittemore is building single family residences on the six lots
and wants to connect to Ocoee's water system. The properties are currently within unincorporated Orange
County and are not contiguous to the City Limits. However the properties are inside the City's JPA boundary,
Water & Sewer Territorial Boundary, and City Limits. See attached map from City's GIS Department.
Therefore, this is just an Intent to Annex for Water Service at this time.
There is a 6" water main along the east side ofN. Lakewood Road (Clarcona-Ocoee Road) that could be tapped
for the water services to the six properties. There are no sewer facilities in the area to even consider sanitary
sewer service. There is available capacity in the potable water system for these six additional residential
customers.
The City's requirement about annexation/intent to annex to be able to provide service and the differences
between resident service and non-resident service were discussed with the Mrs. Whittemore. The City's fee
requirements for an Intent to Annex application approval were provided to the Mrs. Whittemore and are
provided below, these are per lot:
1
. Application Processing and Recording Fee of$100
. Water Capital Charge of$I,727.30 ($1,502 plus a 15% surcharge for non-residents)
. Connection fee of $500
. Water deposit of$60 (refundable after two years of prompt payments)
. Utility rates for water and/or sewer per the attached rate sheet (cost of service base rate plus consumption
charge times 15% surcharge for non-residents)
. The stormwater drainage and solid waste rates would not apply until completion of the annexation
process
Upon annexation, the utility rates would reduce to city resident charges. Also, should the properties become
contiguous to the City Limits and Mrs. Whittemore or the current property owner decides to not proceed with the
annexation of the properties, the City has the right to discontinue service until such time as annexation is
completed.
The procedure for obtaining water service was discussed with Mrs. Whittemore:
. Staff review the intent to annex applications
. Submission to the DRC Committee for action
. If approved by DRC the applications would be presented to the City Commission for action
. With approval of the City Commission Mrs. Whittemore would fill out a customer applications and pay
the aforementioned fees
. City would issue a work order for the service line and meter installations, which would take
approximately two weeks to schedule the work
Mrs. Whittemore was advised that the City only provides service to the edge of the road right-of-way, the
property line at the street. Mrs. Whittemore would need to hire a plumber to do all necessary work from the
house out to the street, which will require a permit from the Orange County Building Department. If there is
well on the properties, it will need to be disconnected from any house connection; however it is recommended
that the well be used for irrigation purposes. Mrs. Whittemore will also be required purchase and install a
backflow prevention devices, for each property, to be installed on owner's side of the water meter. The
backflow preventer will need to be inspected by Ocoee's backflow technician. The yearly inspection and
maintenance of that backflow preventer is Mrs. Whittemore's responsibility and must be documented to the City
every year.
The Development Review Committee approved the Intent to Annex for the properties located at 1137, 1143,
1149, 1155, 1161, and 1167 Clarcona-Ocoee Road at a meeting held on April 3, 2007. The DRC approval was
contingent upon requesting right-of-way along Clarcona-Ocoee Road for future widening of the road.
