(Community Development Administrator McFarlane) Background Summary: V3 Capital Group, representing the owner of parcel ID 09-22-28-0000-00-060, has submitted a formal request for an access easement across City-owned property (parcel ID 09-22-28-0000-00-056). The subject properties are located in Commission District 4, north of A D Mims Road and east of Clarke Road. The attached image illustrates the location of the Silvestri property, the City property, and the approximate placement of the proposed easement (indicated by a red circle). City of Ocoee ▪ 1 N. Bluford Avenue ▪ Ocoee, Florida 34761 Phone: (407) 905-3100 ▪ www.ocoee.org On April 22, 2025, V3 Capital Group, LLC, acting on behalf of Silvestri Investments of Florida, Inc., and City staff held a formal pre-application meeting to discuss a proposed 7-Eleven convenience store with a gas station and car wash on a 2-acre parcel located within the Prairie Lake PUD (Parcel ID 09-22-28-0000-00- 060). On July 10, 2025, the City held a community informational meeting regarding the proposed 7-Eleven with residents and V3 Capital Group LLC in attendance. On July 16, 2025, City staff provided V3 Capital Group with a letter clarifying that the 2-acre parcel has a right to direct access to Clarke Road. This letter was provided after consulting with the City Attorney and reviewing the Agreement of Purchase and Sale between the City and Silvestri Investments of Florida. A copy of the letter and Agreement of Purchase and Sale has been included with this report. Section 2 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement states: "...the parties [Silvestri and the City] have agreed (i) that the Retained Land will have frontage along and direct access to Clarke Road." Since the initial submittal of the small-scale site plan application for the proposed 7-Eleven on November 11, 2025, City staff and representatives from V3 Capital Group have engaged in ongoing coordination regarding the facilitation of access to Clarke Road for the subject property. With the majority of staff comments on the site plan addressed, City staff are now presenting the proposed access easement for consideration and approval by the City Commission. The alignment of the easement is designed to provide clear and safe access for both the City-owned property and the proposed 7-Eleven development to Clarke Road. Additionally, the developer has indicated that installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Clarke Road and Ocoee Vista Parkway would be beneficial to the project. City staff and the developer are collaboratively developing a mutually agreeable plan regarding the timing and construction of the traffic signal in conjunction with the proposed 7-Eleven development. Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve the access agreement between the City of Ocoee and Silvrestri Investments of Florida, Inc? Recommendations: Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve the access agreement between the City of Ocoee and Silvrestri Investments of Florida, Inc. Attachments: 1.
