SPECIAL STAFF REPORTS - CITY ENGINEER KELLEY Mr. Kelley received two bids on the repair work to the manhole at the sewer plant in Industrial Park. The low bidder, MYG Corp. bid $19,75121.121121, which includes two alternates, totalling $4,5121121.121121. Comm. Bateman moved to approve the repairs recommended by the City Engineer, Comm. Hager seconded, and the vote carried unanimously. Comm. Rodgers had some concerns with this until the City Manager stated he thought these repairs would be a major investment in the collector system and correct the majority of the infiltration problems we are currently having. The City made an agreement with Alton Julian, Harbour Highlal'"lds II, il'"l ~~efe~~el'"lce to the wate~~ li1"le extel'"lsiol'"l. The City agreed to pay for 6121% of the line, excluding engineering fees. M~~. Kelley stated the wo~~k is cCtrl1plete, the 1 i1"le is functional now, and the City should pay this sum as soon as we get the rest of the documentation. $5,6121121.121121 has already been paid to Mr. Julian. Comm. Hager requested that Mr. Kelley write a letter to the City stating that the work is complete al'",d the cha~~ges listed a~~e fai~~ al'ld ~~easo1"lablr=,. TtH'? letter should be written this week, then the City will process the bill. . CARRIAGE OAKS PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAN APPROVAL Mr. Rick Merkel stated the developer was in agreement with all the items on the punch list prepared by the City's staff 2 ----"" - ......".... ~- '.... . CITY COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 21, 1986 PAGE 3 and City Engineer. Mr. Ted Bolin, developer, asked about the recreational assessment fee, how it is determined and when it is payable. The recreational assessment is calculated by taking 5% of the raw land value, and it is normally payable all at once before the final plat is signed by the Mayor. . Mr. Kelley explained the water situation and availability. The City has an agreement with RCA to save them 850 plus water connections, Forest Oaks has 293, the plant is rated at 1250, this only leaves 200 plus to sell. Carriage Oaks will only need 28 hook ups. Mr. Kelley felt we could sell those connections to other developers, collect enough of a fee to put back monies to expand the water plant for additional connections in the future, and replace the connections we sell. Orange County's water connection fee is $750.00 to $1,000.00. Comm. Rodgers inquired how we could approve the connections when technically the water plant does not belong to the City of Ocoee. Mr. Kruppenbacher stated there is an understanding that the water plant doesn't belong to the City yet, and he didn't think this would be a problem. Mr. Kelley will verify if the present $750.00 water connection fee is enough to be able to expand the Forest Oaks water plant, which will be cost effective. The monies collected from the water connection goes into the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, a separate account. II Mr. Bolin thought it was unfair to ask a small developer to pay for the upsizing of the water lines. Comm. Rodgers' goal is to have a master plan for future water lines of the City, so developers can come in, look at the plan, and see what size lines the City will expect. Comm. Bateman feels the lines are sufficient if there is enough pressure to put out a fire in that neighborhood. Mayor Ison felt the first developer should expand the water system, and the second developer to benefit should pay their share to the first developet'. Mayor Ison beleives that growth pays its own way. Comm. Bateman stated he had two quick suggestions. Comm. Bateman commented on the masonry block on the homes in Harbour Highlands I, stating it is very nice and doesn't require painting every two years. Secondly, Comm. Bateman felt the retention pond was installed on the wrong side of the buildings in Harbour Highlands I. Carria~e Oaks will have a MSTU, and the retention pond will be required to be fenced. Comm. Rodgers moved to approve the preliminary plans subject to the thirteen items listed on the 'Development Review Committee Report' dated 1-2-86. Comm. Bateman seconded, and the vote carried unanimously. (A copy of this document is supplied at the back of the minutes. ) Mr. Kelley informed the Board that a meeting will be held on Thm'sday, Jal'"luat'y 23, 1986, at 7:Q10 p. m. to discuss the ,.,...'~..~" _.-1iI:.'- I I j 3 .

Mr. Kelley encouraged the City Planner and Board of Commissioners to attend this meeting and be involved in these upcoming decisions. THIRD READINGS - PUBLIC HEARINGS ORDINANCE 862, LAW ENFORCEMENT IMPACT FEE ORDINANCE 863, FIRE PROTECTION IMPACT FEE Mr. Kruppenbacher recommended the Commission pull these Ordinances and workshop them to get a product that the HBR and the City mutually agrees to. All citizens are welcome to give their input to these Ordinances. Comm. Rodgers moved to pull these Ordinances until the City Attorney gets back with the Commission at a later date, Comm. Hager seconded, and the vote carried unanimously. Mr. Marsh, who is Mr. Kruppenbacher's associate, and Mr. Kruppenbacher will get back with the Commission. Mr. Howell, HBA, was invited to attend the upcoming workshop on these Ordinances. . DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF THE CITY PENSION PLAN Mr. Griffin reported that the documents are held up between the proposed administrator and the attorney. This item will be scheduled at the next regular meeting. Mayor Ison asked that Comm. Bateman give a report on this item since he was instrumental in the decision as far as the type of pension plan we should get. DISCUSSION OF MEETING WITH MID-FLORIDA INDUSTRIAL DEV. COMM. Comm. Bateman felt Ocoee needs new employers in the area, and based on the list of accomplishments of Mid-Florida, it seems they have expanded the number of employees at businesses in ce.,.~t aiI'I a.,.~eas, i Y"lst ead clf t he Y"lurnbel"~ clf emp I oyel"~:~. Comrn. Bateman also felt since Comm. Cox brought it up, he should comment, or bring up the subject at a later date. Comm. Rodgers felt participation with Mid-Florida would be in direct conflict with the West Orange Chamber of Commerce. NEW BUSINESS CONCEPTUAL REVIEW - PROPOSED ANNEXATION - LAKE PROPERTY, Y. MOHAMAD STANLEY . Mr. Griffin stated he had a petition in hand to annex the property on the west shore of Lake Stanley whiCh extendS <,~cluth to Silvel"~ sta'r~. M.,.~. F.,.~ank.

The Commission gave conceptual approval of the annexation. INTERPRETATION OF ZONING CODE - MARK STRAWDER AND JODY LYNN . Mr. Strawder owns property located in the northwest side of Ocoee. The City thought the property was de-annexed by Court Order in 1970, although this particular piece of property was not, but everything around it was. The County shows no zoning, as they did not re-zone the property after it was de- annexed by the City. The City has old maps, not signed, showi Y"lg the pat~cel as '::]-2. The COU1'".ty has i':tJ:,p~eed to administratively assign A-2 to the property. Mr. Strawder is petitioning the Commission to verify the zoning either A-i or A-2. Mr. Strawder would like to place a mobile home on the bl"r'Opet"'ty. If the CClImnission vet'ifies A-l z(:)ninq, Mt~. Strawder may place a mobile home on the property. If the Commission verifies A-2 zoning, Mr. Strawder will have to get a variance from the Board of Adjustment and the Commission, in order to put a mobile home on the property. The Commission agreed to send this issue to the Board of Adjustment for their recommendation to the Commission. REQUEST TO REDUCE UTILITY EASEMENT FROM 15' TO 10' -C.
