SECTION 1. The City Commission of the City of Ocoee has

the Constitution of the state of Florida and Chapter 166, Florida
statutes.
SECTION 2. section 173-41 of Article IV of Chapter 173
of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Ocoee, Florida, is hereby
amended to add subsections (D) and (E) which read as follows:
D. If, after one year following an "allocation
date," no subsequent "allocation date" has
been scheduled and if water service capacity
is available, that water service capacity may
be sold on a first-come first served basis.
The first-come first served basis shall be
determined by the date and time the
application was received by the City. There
will be an application fee of five hundred
dollars ($500.00) paid to the Finance
Department which shall reimburse the City for
review by the City Engineer and legal fees.
The application fee shall be retained on all
incomplete, erroneous, or withdrawn
applications. As each applicant is offered
the opportunity to purchase capacity, the
applicant shall pay one hundred percent (100%)
of the water capaci ty charges currently in
effect. An applicant shall be required to
enter into a developer's agreement which
includes but is not limi ted to paYment of
revenue and maintenance fees, design,
construction and operation of on-site
facilities, allocation and provision of water
services capacity, assignments, and transfers.
E. Water Service Capaci ty may be reserved and
paYment of water capital charges shall be
based on a reasonable estimate; provided,
however, that upon completion of final
engineering plan designs, the plan shall be
reviewed by the city Engineer for water
service capacity needs assessment and
recomputation of water capital charges shall
be accomplished. If the final engineering
plans indicate that a water service capacity
requirement in excess of the water service
capacity previously reserved is required,
additional water service capacity must be
reserved, if available, in accordance with the
allocation methods as may be amended from time
to time, and the applicant shall be required
to pay the additional capital charge in effect
at time of final engineering. Failure to pay
2
the additional water capital charge shall
resul t in a forfeiture of any claim to the
addi tional water service capacity that may
have arisen hereunder. If an applicant
requires more water service capacity than is
allocated, it is the applicant's burden to
cause the proposed development to be modified
with regard to and subject to the limitations
of available water service capacity, and all
applicants shall state on the application form
that they understand that development plans
cannot be approved unless and until adequate
water service capacity is available and
allocated. All projects, whether residential,
non-residential or mixed, shall conform with
all applicable provisions of the Land
Development Code before being eligible for any
certif icate of occupancy. Reservation of
water service capacity shall in no way
guarantee that the subject property will be

process. No rights of any nature shall vest
in any applicant except as expressly provided.
