Background Summary:
In accordance with the Ocoee Downtown Master Plan, the City of Ocoee has committed to making roadway
improvements to Taylor Street and Kissimmee Ave. In order to construct the roadway improvements
necessary on Kissimmee Ave, the City needs additional right-of-way along the corridor. Specifically, the City
needed an additional 28.50 feet of right-of-way along the property at 121 S Kissimmee Ave owned by Legacy
Ocoee, LLC. The total land area for the right-of-way acquisition amounts to 7714 sq. ft. or 0.18 acres. City
Staff with Special Counsel, Doty Solik Law, has negotiated just compensation for the right-of-way acquisition
in the amount of $108,000.00. City Staff recommends the City Commission to approve and sign the purchase
agreement with Legacy Ocoee, LLC as negotiated. The right-of-way acquisition is adequately funded in the
Taylor/Kissimmee Roadway Improvements budget.

Ocoee LLC for right-of-way acquisition, in the amount of $108,000.00?
