Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan and
Preliminary/Final Site Plan (Lot 6) for Fountains West PUD?
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Fountains West PUD property is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of West Road and
Ocoee -Apopka Road. The property encompasses approximately 43.03 acres of land of which
approximately 4.73 acres will be designated as wetland/conservation to be dedicated to the City.
Additionally as part of the onsite wetland mitigation, 1.1 acre will be dedicated to the City as a Public Trail
(Tract G). The subject property is currently undeveloped and sparsely covered with a small mixture of sand
pine, scrub and laurel oak trees and other varieties of trees scattered around the property. Moreover, most
of the property was a former citrus grove that is now cleared.
The Future Land Use designation is Commercial, Low Density Residential, Light Industrial and
Conservation/Floodplains. Existing land use to the north is a water treatment facility (the City of Winter
Garden treatment plant), zoned A-1; to the east across Ocoee -Apopka Road is the Vineyards and Westyn
Bay both of which are single-family residential subdivisions, zoned R1-AA; to the west is vacant treed land
zoned 1-1; and to the southwest across West Road is vacant land zoned C-2 in the City limits and to the
southeast is residential land zoned agricultural located on unincorporated Orange County.
The City Commission reviewed and approved the PUD Land Use Plan for Fountains West as presented on
December 19, 2006. The submitted Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan and the Preliminary/Final Site Plan
for Lot 6 are consistent with the approved PUD Land Use Plan and the conditions set forth on the PUD
Development Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan is proposed to be an eight (8) commercial lot subdivision of which
one lot is designated as a supermarket shopping center (Lot 6-Publix Supermarket) and another as a large
church facility (Lot 8-Living Waters Church). The permitted uses are indicated on a development matrix
chart on sheet C-010 of the site plan. Essentially, lots 1 thru 3 were the most restricted due to the close
proximity with the residential subdivision across the street. The proposed Subdivision Plan proposes four
(4) outparcels along Ocoee -Apopka Road. The "Plans" also incorporates the Preliminary/Final Site Plan for
Lot 6 (Publix Supermarket). The shopping center supermarket will be setback on an internal centralized
location fronting on West Road.
On -site water retention is proposed via a master stormwater pond (Tract B) for lots 1-7. Additionally, there
will be a water feature with an environmental enhancement for the remnant wetland (Tract F) on the
northeast corner of the newly created intersection of West Road and Ocoee -Apopka Road. The Fountains
West project is proposed to preserve natural wetlands, provide for public trails, provide right-of-way
dedication along Ocoee -Apopka Road, and enable realignment of West Road via a tri-party (City of Ocoee,
Orange County, & Fountains West developers) development agreement.
When the subdivision is completed, the intersection of West Road and Ocoee -Apopka Road will be
realigned and improved with a traffic signal plus corresponding turn lanes. The detached West Road
section will eventually be vacated and incorporated into adjoining parcels. This proposed roadway
realignment and intersection improvements were identified in the City of Ocoee Comprehensive Plan
adopted October 1, 2002. More specifically, the improvements were illustrated as part of the Roadway
Improvement Master Plan for 2020 (Figure 11) in the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The ultimate goal is to provide a new intersection that is properly aligned with the existing Ocoee Crown
Point Parkway in order to facilitate traffic and reduce congestion to this area.
Furthermore, the developer/owner is dedicating 30 feet wide of right-of-way (Tract D) along Ocoee -Apopka
Road. This will result in a 120 feet wide right-of-way along the entire Ocoee -Apopka Road section adjacent
to the site for any future roadway improvements. As shown on the plans, Road "A" will be dedicated to the
City with corresponding roadway improvements and stormwater abatement. Left and right turn lanes will be
provided at all site access points based upon the results of the traffic impact analysis. Water and sewer will
be provided by Orange County. Reuse water will be eventually supplied by the City of Ocoee.
Tract 1 is essentially a remnant of an original parent parcel of land for this project. Tract 1 will remain with
its original 1-1 zoning but will be subject to the Conditions of Approval outlined on the Land Use Plan and
Development Agreement.
There was an issue with the coordination of the permanent realignment of West Road and the actual
construction of the site permanent operational turnlanes. Staff and the Developer have agreed to resolve
this issue by a mutually beneficial Development Agreement. The Development Agreement is included with
the City Commission packet and should be approved together with the Plans. The agreement essentially
allows for the City to design, permit and construct the "West Road Turnlanes", and in turn, the Developer
will pay the City the lump sum of $200,000 dollars.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the Fountains West PUD on June 28, 2007. There
were minor technical issues to be addressed from the City Attorney and Engineering Department that were
identified in written staff comments and presented verbally. All of the issues were discussed and all
changes to the "Plans" were agreed upon. The applicant proposed some revision changes to the "West
Road Turnlanes" Development Agreement. Staff and the developer compromised and collectively agreed
upon some of the revision changes.
After discussion was completed, the DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Fountains
West Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan and Preliminary/Final Site Plan for Lot 6, subject to the changes
discussed being made to the plans (date stamped June 13, 2007) and approval of the "West Road
Turnlanes" Development Agreement.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan and Preliminary/Final Site Plan (Lot 6) for Fountains West
PUD will be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 10, 2007. Staff will incorporate the
P&Z formal recommendation into Staff Presentation for this scheduled City Commission Public Hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendation of the DRC and Planning & Zoning Commission, Staff recommends that the
Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan and Preliminary/Final Site
Plan (Lot 6) for Fountains West PUD as date stamped received by the City on June 13, 2007, subject to
resolving the last remaining issues addressed in the attached City Attorney's review memorandum and the
Engineering Department review memorandum prior to the Pre -Construction Meeting for the project; and
further, subject to approval of the "West Road Turnlanes" Development Agreement.

Engineering Department Comments
June 18, 2007
The following are the results of your fourth submittal for the above referenced project. If you have
any questions pertaining to the requested information, please contact our office.
L-16. Resolved
17. (Repeat Comment) Pond Sections A -A and B-B indicate slopes steeper than 5:1. The City
of Ocoee Land Development Code does not allow slopes steeper than 5:1. Also indicate the
slope from the top of bank to the retaining wall. A 10 foot maintenance berm around the
pond is required. A 5:1 side slope is required in the pond area as well as leading to the
pond maintenance berm. If this is not possible the use of structured walls and/or
railing may be required for safety. Please indicate how the slopes will be stabilized
with a detail. There was also discussion in the TSRC that indicated a geomat would
be used to stabilize the 2:1 slopes. Be advised that sheet C301 was missing in the latest
submitted set.
18. (Repeat Comment) Please add the City of Ocoee water details to the plan set. These details
will apply to the reclaimed water system. Contact the City of Ocoee Engineering
Department to receive the City Details in AutoCAD format. Please contact Ryan
Howard in the Engineering Department for the latest City details to be emailed in
CAD format. Remove the cul-de-sac and the water main thrust collar details. Add the
restraint table and locating wire details. Modify the PVC pipe locating detail to
reference all pipe instead of PVC pipe. This includes changing the title.
19.-25. Resolved
26. (Repeat Comment) A copy of SJRWMD, Orange County Utilities, and Orange County
Public Works permits will be required before final approval will be issued. A meeting with
Orange County on June 81h indicated that the current turn lane on Ocoee -Apopka
Road as shown on the plans does not meet the Orange County Public Works
requirements. Orange County stated that the Ocoee -Apopka Road turn lane is
required to have a 200 foot que with an 85 foot taper section.

I. COMMENTS DIRECTED TO CITY STAFF
The following comments are addressed to and/or request direction from City Staff and,
unless otherwise noted, do not require any response from the Applicant. These comments should
be discussed as TSRC so that the Applicant and City Attorney are fully advised regarding City
Staffs direction.
1. None.
II. REPEAT COMMENTS
The following comments were included in the City Attorney's prior memoranda
regarding the Plan, however, they were not fully addressed as part of the Applicant's current
submittal. The following comments may also relate to prior comments provided by other City
Departments that were not fully addressed as part of the Applicant's current submittal.
2. [Revised Comment] COA No. 29 on Sheet C-009 of the Plan requires
that the Developer provide a draft Master Easement Agreement to the City for review with the
Plan. We consider the previous submittals to satisfy the requirement for a draft document
and have provided our comments with respect thereto. This will need to be finalized and
agreed upon prior to Plat approval.
3. [Revised Comment]. COA 67 is inconsistent with our previous
comment. Revise the first sentence by deleting the words "mutually" and "and the
Developer" so that the first sentence will read as follows: "A Master Easement Agreement
acceptable to the City will be recorded in connection with the platting of the Property."
4. [Revised Comment]. COA 68 is inconsistent with our previous
comment. Revise the first sentence by adding the word "northern" so that the sentence will
read as follows: "The Developer will design, engineer, permit and construct a 12" reuse
line extension from the northern boundary of the property to ....."
5. [Revised Comment] Per the response letter, please provide updated
title prior to the City Commission meeting.
6. [Revised Comment] An Agreement will be required addressing the
design, permitting and construction of the West Road turnlane improvements. This
Agreement must be approved contemporaneous with the P/FSP approval. The outline for
the Agreement was agreed to by the City and the Developer in a phone conference on June
21, 2007.

AGREEMENT
(Fountains West Turn Lanes)
For Recording Purposes Only
THIS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the — day
of , 2007 by and between OCOE, LLC, a Florida limited liability company,
whose mailing address is 33 S.E. 4"' Street, Suite 100, Boca Raton, FL 33432 ("Developer")
and the CITY OF OCOEE, a Florida municipal corporation, whose mailing address is 150
North Lakeshore Drive, Ocoee, Florida 34761, Attention: City Manager (the "City").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Developer owns fee simple title to certain lands located in Orange
County, Florida, and within the corporate limits of the City of Ocoee, Florida, said lands
being more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this reference made a
part hereof (the "Developer's Property");
WHEREAS, Developer intends to develop the Developer's Property as a commercial
subdivision known as "Fountains West" (the "Developer's Project") consistent with that
certain Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan for Fountains West PUD and Preliminary/Final Site
Plan for Lot 6 (the "FSP") prepared by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc ("VHB") and date
stamped received by the City on , 2007;
WHEREAS, Developer, the City and Orange County, Florida, a charter county and
political subdivision of the State of Florida (the "County"), entered into that certain Second
Corrected West Road Realignment Agreement (the "West Road Realignment Agreement"),
recorded January 8, 2007 in Official Records Book 9053, Page 559, Public Records of Orange
County, Florida, which addresses matters related to the realignment of West Road;
WHEREAS, the West Road Realignment Agreement contemplated that the City,
subject to being reimbursed by the County, would design, permit and construct a temporary
ORLA 482283.1
realignment of West Road (the "Temporary Realignment") and that, at a later date, the County
would design, permit and construct, or cause to be designed, permitted and constructed, a
permanent realignment of West Road (the "Permanent Realignment");
WHEREAS, the County has indicated that it intends to proceed with the construction
of Permanent Realignment (the "County West Road Realignment Project") in lieu of the City's
construction of the Temporary Realignment;
WHEREAS, the FSP contemplates the construction by Developer of certain turn lanes
to provide access between the Project and West Road (the "West Road Turn Lanes"), which
were designed and engineered based on the Temporary Realignment, and not the Permanent
Realignment; and
WHEREAS, due to the County's construction of the Permanent Realignment in lieu of
the Temporary Realignment, the City has agreed that, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
Developer will not be required to construct the West Road Turn Lanes.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable
considerations exchanged between the parties hereto, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated
herein by this reference.
Section 2. Turn Lane Improvements.
A. The City agrees, at the City's expense, to design, permit and construct
the West Road Turn Lanes. At the option of the City, turn lane construction may occur after
completion of County West Road Realignment Project or be incorporated into the County
West Road Realignment Project.
B. Developer will pay the City the sum of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
AND N0/100 DOLLARS ($200,000.00) by the earlier of (i) the holding of the
preconstruction meeting for the subdivision improvements, or (ii) 10 days after the FSP is
approved by the Ocoee City Commission. The payment constitutes the Developer contribution
towards the West Road Turn Lanes and is intended to satisfy a portion of Developer's offsite
improvement obligations of the FSP, and as set forth in that certain Development Agreement
(Fountains West), recorded January 9, 2007 in Official Records Book 9054, Page 792, Public
Records of Orange County, Florida. No road impact fee credits are provided in connection
with this contribution.
C. Developer will, at Developer's expense, cause VHB to certify to the
City that the design for the Developer's Project as shown on the FSP meets the grades and
elevations proposed by the County for the West Road realignment based on the Clarcona-
Ocoee Road 100% Submittal, dated September 7, 2001, County Project #CIP 3038 West, as
prepared by Inwood Consulting Engineers (the "County's West Road Plans"). The City
ORLA_482283.1 -2-
assumes no obligations with respect thereto in the event of a conflict between the FSP and the
County's West Road Plans. Subject to receipt of such certification, Developer will not be
required to modify the FSP sheets dealing with the West Road Turn Lanes.
D. Developer is required to construct all improvements adjacent to West
Road which are within the boundaries of the Developer's Property as shown on the FSP.
E. Developer is required to construct the sidewalks located within West
Road as shown on the FSP and to obtain the necessary permits from the County to do so.
Developer will need to coordinate timing of such construction with the County and its
contractor. These sidewalks are not part of the West Road Turn Lanes to be constructed by
the City. The City has determined that there is no conflict between the sidewalk plans shown
on the FSP and the County's West Road Plans. If Developer gets the County to agree to
relocate and construct, at no cost to the City, the sidewalks that the County has proposed from
the location that the County currently depicts on the County's West Road Plans, to the location
preferred by the City, for which the Developer is obligated to construct, then Developer will
not be required to construct such sidewalks.
F. Developer will not be required to construct the West Road Turn Lanes
shown on FSP (either the temporary or permanent turn lanes); provided, however, that
Developer will be required to design and construct its on -site improvements so as to meet the
appropriate elevations shown in the County's West Road Plans.
G. Given the construction of the Permanent Realignment by the County and
the West Road Turn Lanes by the City, the completion of such improvements will not be a
condition to the issuance by the City of building permits, certificates of completion or
certificates of occupancy for the Developer's Project.
H. The City has elected not to design, permit, and construct the Temporary
Realignment as set forth in the West Road Realignment Agreement. The City and Developer
acknowledge that the Permanent Realignment Improvements will be constructed in lieu
thereof.
I. In the event of any conflict between the FSP and this Agreement, then
this Agreement shall control.
J. Developer responsibility for improvements within Ocoee -Apopka Road
per the FSP are not affected by this Agreement.
Section 3. 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.
ORLA_482283.1 -3-
Section 4. Covenant Running with the Land. This Agreement shall run with the
Developer's 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 Developer's Property or any portion thereof.
Section 5. Recordation of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that an executed
original of this Agreement shall be recorded by the City, at Developer's expense, in the Public
Records of Orange County, Florida. The City will, from time to time upon request of
Developer, execute and deliver letters affirming the status of this Agreement.
Section 6. Applicable Law. This Agreement and the provisions contained herein
shall be construed, controlled, and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Florida.
Section 7. Time of the Essence. Time is hereby declared of the essence to the
lawful performance of the duties and obligations contained in this Agreement.
Section 8. Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement 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.
Section 9. Further Documentation. The parties agree that at any time following a
request therefor by the other party, each shall execute and deliver to the other party such
further documents and instruments, in form and substance reasonably necessary to confirm
and/or effectuate the obligations of either party hereunder.
Section 10. Specific Performance. Both the City and Developer shall have the right
to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement by an action for specific performance.
Section 11. 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, legal assistants' 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.
Section 12. 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.
Section 13. 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.
ORLA_482283.1 -4-
Section 14. Severability. If any sentence, phrase, paragraph, provision, or portion
of this 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 provision and
such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion hereof.

Another resident had several concerns about the project turnlanes and the proposed accessory
uses for the Church (such as a Daycare) and how it will affect the traffic patterns. A concern
about site lighting was also mentioned. Staff assured that the site lighting will meet our adopted
Code which promotes no spillover lighting, glare or night -sky pollution onto adjacent tracts. The
final concern that was expressed was what was happening to Progress Energy plans on
locating a substation on the south side of West Road.
After finishing its deliberations, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously (8-0)
(one member abstained from voting) to recommend approval of the Fountains West
Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan and Preliminary/Final Site Plan for Lot 6 as date stamped
received by the City on June 13, 2007, subject to resolving the last remaining issues addressed
in the attached City Attorney's review memorandum and the Engineering Department review
memorandum prior to the Pre -Construction Meeting for the project; and further, subject to
approval of the "West Road Turnlanes" Development Agreement.

Section 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated
herein by this reference.
Section 2. Turn Lane Improvements.
A. The City agrees, at the City's expense, to design, permit and construct
the West Road Turn Lanes. At the option of the City, turn lane construction may occur after
completion of County West Road Realignment Project or be incorporated into the County
West Road Realignment Project.
B. Developer will pay the City the sum of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
AND N0/100 DOLLARS ($200,000.00) by the earlier of (i) the holding of the
preconstruction meeting for the subdivision improvements, or (ii) 10 days after the FSP is
approved by the Ocoee City Commission. The payment constitutes the Developer contribution
towards the West Road Turn Lanes and is intended to satisfy a portion of Developer's offsite
improvement obligations of the FSP, and as set forth in that certain Development Agreement
(Fountains West), recorded January 9, 2007 in Official Records Book 9054, Page 792, Public
Records of Orange County, Florida. No road impact fee credits are provided in connection
with this contribution.
C. Developer will, at Developer's expense, cause VHB to certify to the
City that the design for the Developer's Project as shown on the FSP meets the grades and
elevations proposed by the County for the West Road realignment based on the Clarcona-
Ocoee Road 100% Submittal, dated September 7, 2001, County Project #CIP 3038 West, as
prepared by Inwood Consulting Engineers (the "County's West Road Plans"). The City
ORLA_482283.1 -2-
assumes no obligations with respect thereto in the event of a conflict between the FSP and the
County's West Road Plans. Subject to receipt of such certification, Developer will not be
required to modify the FSP sheets dealing with the West Road Turn Lanes.
D. Developer is required to construct all improvements adjacent to West
Road which are within the boundaries of the Developer's Property as shown on the FSP.
E. Developer is required to construct the sidewalks located within West
Road as shown on the FSP and to obtain the necessary permits from the County to do so.
Developer will need to coordinate timing of such construction with the County and its
contractor. These sidewalks are not part of the West Road Turn Lanes to be constructed by
the City. The City has determined that there is no conflict between the sidewalk plans shown
on the FSP and the County's West Road Plans. If Developer gets the County to agree to
relocate and construct, at no cost to the City, the sidewalks that the County has proposed from
the location that the County currently depicts on the County's West Road Plans, to the location
preferred by the City, for which the Developer is obligated to construct, then Developer will
not be required to construct such sidewalks.
F. Developer will not be required to construct the West Road Turn Lanes
shown on FSP (either the temporary or permanent turn lanes); provided, however, that
Developer will be required to design and construct its on -site improvements so as to meet the
appropriate elevations shown in the County's West Road Plans.
G. Given the construction of the Permanent Realignment by the County and
the West Road Turn Lanes by the City, the completion of such improvements will not be a
condition to the issuance by the City of building permits, certificates of completion or
certificates of occupancy for the Developer's Project.
H. The City has elected not to design, permit, and construct the Temporary
Realignment as set forth in the West Road Realignment Agreement. The City and Developer
acknowledge that the Permanent Realignment Improvements will be constructed in lieu
thereof.
I. In the event of any conflict between the FSP and this Agreement, then
this Agreement shall control.
J. Developer responsibility for improvements within Ocoee -Apopka Road
per the FSP are not affected by this Agreement.
Section 3. 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 parry at the address appearing on the first page of this Agreement, or (ii)
