Utilities' City Commission Regular April 15, 2008 staff and the project architect has met with Southern Building Services to review their bid and feel that the firm's bid is representative of the project. All references have been verified and are satisfactory.

Approval of Intent to Annex 105 16th Avenue for Water Service. (City Engineer Wheeler) Mrs. Sargent, who resides at 105 16th Avenue and who lives in the aforementioned properties, approached the City for utility service. The property is owned by her parents, who are deceased, and who proposed to give the property to Mrs. Sargent as an article under their will. The properties were platted as part of the North Ocoee Addition No.1. The property is currently within unincorporated Orange County and is not contiguous to the City Limits. However the property is inside the City's JPA boundary, Water & Sewer Territorial Boundary, and City Limits. Therefore, this is just an intent to annex for Water Service at this time. 6. Approval to Execute Quit-claim Deed and Temporary Construction Easement for 33 Lakeview Street. (City Engineer Wheeler) Improvements are presently being made to North Lakeshore Drive from Oakland Avenue to North Lakewood A venue. These improvements include raising the road and sidewalk to remove a persistent flooding problem, constructing a retaining wall along Starke Lake to stabilize the shoreline, and other improvements designed to facilitate pedestrian and recreational activities. A major part of the project is Phase 2 of a multi-pronged process of installing effective stormwater management facilities that will significantly improve water quality in Starke Lake. Phase I, south of the current project limits, was completed in 2006. Phase 3 will construct a regional stormwater pond immediately north of City Hall. During the course of constructing the improvements to North Lakeshore Drive, it was discovered that a corner of the property at 33 Lakeview Street, otherwise known as Lot 2, Block B of the Lakeridge Subdivision (Eva Black Life Estate), projected slightly into the right of way for Lakeshore Drive. Access to the property has traditionally been through Lot 1 (I82 N. Lakeshore Dr.) rather than Lakeview St. Reconstruction of Lakeshore Dr. will eliminate this point of access due to an elevation change. I F. PUBLIC HEARINGS 7. Approval of Final Resolution for the Fire Assessment Fee. (Advertised in the Orlando Sentinel Classified Legal on Tuesday, March 25,2008). (Assistant City Manager Croteau) The final steps in implementing the fire assessment fee are for the City to adopt the fmal fire assessment fee resolution. Upon adoption the City needs only to certify the assessment roll to the Tax Collector by September 15, 2008, before the assessment appears on the November 2008 tax bill. 8.

(Principal Planner Fabre) (Continued from the Aprillst City Commission Meeting) The subject site is approximately 7.64 acres in size and is located on the south side of(475) West Story Road. The actual lattice tower will occupy a small portion (75 feet by 75 feet) of the site located on the southwest corner.

Orange County Public Safety Communications has proposed a telecommunications facility utilizing a 280 feet high lattice tower.

The property is also located in Area Three as designated on the (Map 5-19) Telecommunications Service Facility Location Map.
