Olympia Cove PUD - PreliMinary Ma.ter Pia"
The Public Hearing had been continued from the June 7, 1988
Meeting. City Manager Ryan asked to make a brief
presentation and then have the developer respond. He
explained that the developer had requested a modification to
the Preliminary Master Plan with a change in land use and, if
that change in land use was approved, they would prefer that
Montgomery Road not be extended through the proJect. He
stated that all the details could be approved later and all
that needed to be addressed at this time was the proposed
land use change and the Montgomery Road issue. He also said
that they had given us an easeMent to the outfall for Lake
Olympia. Commissioner Bateman moved to approve the
Preliminary Master Plan which included the elimination of
Montgomery Road and reduced the density to no less than R-1-A
as shown on the plan, and Commissioner Johnson seconded.
e
Mayor Ison stated that he had been handed a petition with 100
plus names on it with citizens who did not want Montgomery
Road to go through. He then asked for discussion and opened
the floor for comments. The following residents addressed
the Commission with their concerns if Montgomery Road was
extended, of increased traffic, hazard to children, reduce
the quality of life, risk to the environment, reduced land
values and hurting one of the most beautiful areas of the
city: Bruce Beatty, Louis Bouchard, Stanley HOSkins, and
Bruna Massa. MiraY'lda Fitzgerald, represent ing HawthorY'le
Properties, stated that she was in favor of the motion on the
floor and that, in lieu of some of the conditions that
resulted from the Planning & Zoning Board Meeting, they
would request time from staff. City Manager Ryan explained
that this was only preliminary and those items could be
addressed at the Final Master Plan approval.
Mayor Ison restated the motion and asked for any further
discussion from the Commission. Commissioner Dabbs stated
that he was in favor of Montgomery Road being extended
through the proJect. He felt it would be good for the City
of Ocoee and that the transporation plan would support that
position, especially since the City needed more north-south
access. Mayor Ison called for the question and the motion
carried 3 to 1 with Commissioners JOhnson, Bateman and Hager
voting Yes and Commissioner Dabbs voting No.

Ordinance 88-13A, (Ca.e 07A-88>, Phoenix D.v. Group, Parcel 2
City Manager Ryan read the proposed ordinance by title only
and explained where the property was located. He pointed out
that the ordinance had been amended so that it would not
become effective until the Joint Planning Area Agreement with
Orange County had been amended. Mayor Ison opened the Public
Hearing. Nancy Christman, Orange County Planning Department,
spoke in favor of the amendment to the ordinance. She also
stated that they would like to work with the City Staff on
the land use for the area and urged a lower density for that
tract. Orange County Commissioner Vera Carter also spoke to
the City Commission and said she had no obJections to this
tract being in Ocoee's Reserve Area with the condition that
the land use be compatible with the area. She also expressed
concern for the density proposed. She stated that she knew
Bob Ferdinand, he was also a friend, so it would be a quality
development. However, she felt his plan would not be serving
Ocoee, but more the Windermere and surrounding area, which
would create the need for maJor renovation to the
transportation network.
James Ferdinand, representing Phoenix Dev. Group, stated that
the property to the north of their property was zoned R-3 and
the property across the road was zoned for 1/4 acre lots.
They planned for a portion of the property to be transitional
since it would be part of a PUD and the roadway was all right
for now since their development would not come on line until
1990/1991. Scott Wilt, attorney with Maguire, Voorhis &
Wells, stated that this 74 acres was part of a PUD and they
had no objections to the amendment to the ordinance.
Attorney Rosenthal stated that they would need a motion to
approve the amendment to the ordinance, Section 7 was deleted
and a new Section 7 added, and then a motion to approve the
amended ordinance. Commissioner Dabbs moved to approve the
amendment to Ordinance 88-13A, as stated, Commissioner
Bateman seconded and upon a roll call vote the motion carried
unanimously. Commissioner Bateman moved to approve Ordinance
88-13A, as presented, Commissioner Dabbs seconded and upon a

e
petitions be withdrawn and that their fees be refunded.
Staff had recommended that the fees not be returned since the
advertising and posting of the properties had been done.
Commissiorter Bateman quest ic,rled why the ser.tence "Th is
petition may be withdrawn within 60 days from March 28,
1988, without recourse, and this Petition will be null and
void" was added to these twc. petitiol'"ls wherl it was rlc.t
included on any others. City Manager Ryan stated that former
Planner Wagner knew that staff did not have the authority to
waive fees and none had been done in the three years that he
was here. He took the position that Mr. wagner meant to
assure the petitioners that they could withdraw the petition
if they did not want to proceed with the annexation and it
did not have anything to do with the fees. Comissioner Dabbs
stated that he had mixed feelings since they could not
question the intent of the sentence on the bottom of the
petition. Attorney Rosenthal stated that it was their
perrogative to refund the fees. Commissioner Bateman also
questioned the forms and they way they were filled out as far
as documenting the receipt of the fees. Commissioner Bateman
moved that Ordinance 88-14, Case 08A.88, and Ordinance 88-15,
Case 09A-88 be accepted as withdrawn period, Commissiorler
Johnson seconded and the motion carried uanimously.
e
OrdinAnce 88-16, (C... 10A-88), Lake Lotta, Ltd.
City Manager Ryan read the proposed ordinance by title only
and explained where the property was located. "Mayor Ison
opened the Public Hearing. Commissioner Bateman questioned
why Section 7 was different in this ordinance than those
previously adddressed. He asked the Commission to consider
amending the ordinance to make it consistent with Section 7
in the previous ordinances and that it flow to the next two
ordinances. There was some discussion about the ordinance and
the amendment that had been made at their Special Meeting.
Commissioner Bateman then moved to delete Section 7 in
Ordinance 88-16 and include the wording from Section 7 in the
previous ordirtances as follclws: "That this c,rdirlal'"tce shall
take effect upon passage and adoption, thereafter the City
Clerk is hereby directed to file a certified copy of the
Ordinance with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida
and with appropriate agencies in and for Orange County,
Florida.", Commissioner Johnson seconded. Attorney Rosenthal
read the proposed amendment. Commissioner Bateman said that
he thought they had taken care of that issue and were not
holding annexations in abeyance until zoning was passed. He
asked the attorney and City Manager if they were clear about
the simultaneous issue. City Mananger Ryan explained that
some language had been drafted to try and handle their
request that the City be able to annex and rezone
simultaneously. Attorney Woodson stated that at the Joint
5

e
meeting with the Planning & Zoning Board, Mr. Wagner had
presented, and they adopted, a plan that would allow for this
procedure. These developers chose to use this procedure and
at the First Reading, we went through the issue of merits to
the procedure, the ordinances were tabled until the Special
Meeting and language was drafted to fix the procedure.
Commissioner Dabbs stated that his recollection from the
meeting was that it (procedure) did not happen all at once but
reaffirmed to their representatives that it would happerl "I,
2 & 3". Attorney Rosenthal stated that wherl the cl...~di rlarlce
was first presented, it stated that it was "held irl abeyarlce"
and they were not comfortable with that language. They
basically recommended enacting the ordinance with a deferred
effective date. Attorney Woodson stated that Section 5 was
also different so they would need to amend Section 5.
Commissioner Bateman moved to include the amendment to
Section 5 to read as the c,thers previously, "That if arlY
section or portion of a section or subsection of this
ordinance proves to be invalid, unlawful, or
unconstitutional, it shall riot be held to irlvalidate e,r
impair the validity, force or effect of any other section or
portion of a sectior. or subsecti,:.n .;:If this Ordinarlce",
Commissioner Johnson seconded. Attorney Rosenthal stated
that if the amendment passed, he recommended they defer
action on the ordinance since it would not be the procedure
requested by the petitioner. He also stated that this
subJect was addressed in the settlement agreement.
Commissioner Bateman stated that he had read the settlement
agreement and he felt there was no question that the
petitioner understood the process. Mayor Ison closed the
Public Hearing. Mayor Ison called for the question and
restated the motion - To amend Section 5 and 7 of Ordinance
88-16 as stated above. Upon a roll call vote the motion
carried unanimously.
e
Mayor Ison and Commissioner Dabbs asked what the next step
would be since the items that followed on the agenda were
contingent upon Ordinance 88-16. Attorney Woodson explained
they could place language reference the change and make the
others SUbJect to the Lake Lotta, Ltd, property being
annexed. Attorney Rosenthal suggested another option - they
could enact with an effective date of Thursday which would
give time to go with the current schedule and time for the
petitioner to respond to the change. Mayor Ison suggested
that a new Hold Harmless be signed by the petitioner for this
ordinance and Attorney Woodson agreed that was a way to move
forward. Commissioner Dabbs mc,ved tel adopt Ordi nance 88-16
as Sections 5 & 7 were amended, with the provision the
annexation goes forward with the applicant executing an exact
same Hold Harmless Agreement attached to the ordinance and

Direction Regarding V.teran'. Memorial - J. Resnik
Janet Resnik explained that the Commission had asked staff to
work with the American Legion for proposed plans for a
monument, to tabulate funds that would be needed and place in
the 1988/89 budget. The question was how much they war.ted to
include in the budget for the monument. Two options had been
presented to them, one for $1,900 and the other for $2,900.
Mr. Sanders, representing the American Legion, had envisioned
a monument for approximately $3,000 and would like for it to
be in place by Memorial Day 1989 somewhere on City grounds in
the vicinity of the Withers/Maguire House. Commissioner
Bateman stated that he liked option *1 and was in favor of
putting it on Bluford at the Withers/Maguire House. City
Manager Ryan stated that another option was to make a
memorial garden and place between the Withers/Maguire House
and the Community Center. Mrs. Resnik explained that the
cost of the lettering would be $1.00 per letter and was not
included in the quoted costs. Mayor Ison asked if the
monument could be ready by Veteran's Day November 1988 and
was told that if they began working a couple of months in
advance they would be able to do so. Commissioner Hager
moved to fund the Veteran's Memorial Monument and include the
level of funding for Option #1 in the 1988/89 budget,
Commissioner Johnson seconded and the motion carried
unanimc1usly.

Oeoe. Transportation Program - G Month Analysis - J. Resnik
Janet Resnik gave a brief presentation on the status of the
bus program. For the first six months of the program, the
financial data indicated the City spent roughly $21,000.00 in
initial and operating costs. Mrs. Resnik reported that more
8

e
than $5,000.00 of that expense was for overtime labor costs
and recommended a part-time person be hired for the 4-6 p.m.
timeslot on weekdays and to be on-call for the 8 a.m. to 6
p.m. timeslot on Saturdays and that the bus program be
continued. City Manager Ryan also encouraged the Commission
to consider continuing the program through this budget year
and then address it in the budget for the coming year.
Darrel Irwin, Jack Eyring, Marlene Mohns and Terry Crocker
all spoke to the Commission and asked that the program be
continued. Mrs. Mohns explained that this was her
transportation to and from work. Mrs. Crocker asked that a
car seat be purchased for the van for the children. Mayor
Ison stated that he, personally, was in favor of continuing
the program with part-time help and continue Saturdays.
Commissioner Dabbs moved to approve continuing the program
with Saturday Service, with the hourly person, and with the
assumption the figures had covered the expense and would come
in under budget, Commissioner Johnson seconded. Commissiorler
Bateman stated that he had a problem with the part-time help
as some of the people needed assistance and might not get
that assistance from a part-time person. Commissioner
Johnson asked that we go back to the Orange County again to
request assistance in funding this program. Commissioner
Dabbs stated that his intention was to continue the program
through the budget year and if the part-time help was a
problem, he would withdraw that from the motion.
Commissioner Johnson agreed to withdraw the part-time help
from the motion and they both agreed to extend the program
through 9-30-88. Call for the question on the motion to
continue the bus service through 9-30-88 within the budgeted
amount was approved unanimously. Mayor Ison told the
citizens present that they had bus service until 10-1-88 and
recommended that staff require advarlced reservat iorls fClt~ the
Saturday service. City Manager Ryan stated that staff would
take care of doing that.

Reque.t from Victory Baptist Church to Waive Building Permit
and Special Exception Fee. - Rev. Butts
City Manager Ryan explained that Rev. Butts was not able
to stay at the meeting but requested consideration from the
Commission on waiving the $250.00 fee for their Special
Exception request and the $300.00 Building Permit Fee. Mayor
Ison explained that the Commission had done this in the past
if the petitioner brought in the plans and complied with all
the requirements. Mr. Ryan stated that Consulting Engineer
Kelley had also waived his fees for the church. Commissioner
Hager moved to waive the fees as requested by Rev. Butts,
Commissioner Bateman seconded and upon a roll call vote the
motion carried unanimously.

SPECIAL STAFF REPORTS
City Engin..r - Dennis Finch
City Engineer Finch explained that most of the items on his
report would be addressed at the special meeting on Thursday.
In reference to Forest Oaks Water Well, he had Just received
a response back from Mr. Wayne Rich and would like time to
review it. He asked it be deferred until the 7-5-88 Meeting.
It
City Planner - Assistant Planner Holly Myers
Assistant Planner Myers explained that the postal delivery
changes within the Joint Planning Area was in progress.
She reported that we had received letters from the owners of
the lots adJoining DeRae Builders and they requested that
they be included in the PUD Rezoning Petition. Commissioner
Bateman stated that his concern was not for the letters but
lots like those already owned and mortgaged - like Bill
Breeze. He questioned the legality and authority to rezone
to PUD. He asked for information from planning on whether
they had the right to rezone at all to PUD. COMmissioner
Dabbs stated that he tended to agree although his question
was to the attorney and the legality of the issue. City
Manager Ryan stated that staff was working towards the legal
issue and thought that was the direction from the Commission.
Mayor Ison explained that the property was originally zoned
R-3 and then R-2. He stated the property was not designed
for two separate units and questioned the possible
misrepresentation in the future if this was allowed.
Commissioner Bateman stated that he was not concerned with
precedent, as he had seen the COMmissiol"1 "pass without
preJudice", but was more concerned with legal issues and
asked that it be withheld from the agenda until it was ready
to be placed on an agenda. Attorney Rosenthal stated that if
the Commission wanted to move forward with the research, then
they would proceed, but if they were not in favor of the
request then there was no need to go forward. Mayor Ison
stated that if Mr. Julian wanted to pay all the fees for our
staff and consultants then we would research the matter, but
did not want it done on the City's dollars. Commissioner
Bateman concurred and said that going the PUD route was not
possible and Mr. Julian could pay the fees for the research.
City Manager Ryan asked if they wanted Mr. Julian to pay for
researching our ordinances. The general consensus was that
the Commission did not want to incur any expense and if Mr.
Julian wanted to pursue, then he would have to pay the
expense.

COMMENTS FROM COMMI SSIDNERS
COMMi..ioner Dabbs presented the Commission with proposed
documents regarding evaluation of the City Manager. He
explained the different aspects as follows: Management by
ObJectives, Goal Planning, Developmental Worksheet and the
Performance Evaluation Instrument itself. He stated that it
was not etched in stone, but hoped they found it a reasonable
effort toward the evaluation process. Mayor Ison stated
that he was in favor of the process and it was a fine effort
by Commissioner Dabbs. Commissioner Dabbs asked that they
review the documents and place on an agenda when they were
ready.
.
COMmis.ioner John.on reported that $55,000 was needed for the
ballfield lights and that only $50,000.00 had been donated.
Grading needed to be done as well as other work and they
estimated that it might cost up to $75,000.00 for all the
work that needed to be done. City Manager Ryan stated that,
in anticipation of this request, he had spoken with several
developers who would owe recreation fees and they had
indicated a willingness to advance the funds and get the

credit towards their recreation fees. He stated that, if it
was all right with the Commission at this time, Mr. Goodman
had agreed to handle the contract. The general consensus of
the Commission was to proceed under those suggestions.
e
Commissioner Johnson asked that the Assistant City Manager
position, that they requested, be filled by CIne of the rlew
people that had been hired, such as Ray Brenner or Dennis
Finch. City Manager Ryan stated that they would spend
$30,000.00 plus in order to hire someone, as he understood
they wanted, for that position. He had discussed using Ray
Brenner and then Dennis Finch or both. Commissioner Bateman
stated that he had a problem with that idea because he
thought the Commission wanted a working Assistant City
Manager who had full authority and he did not feel that could
be done with two people. City Manager Ryan stated that he
would feel more comfortable with Mr. Finch as the Assistant
City Manager since he had 10 to 12 years in government and he
would make Mr. Brenner full time. By doing it this way, we
would not need to advertise and the position would be filled
lIin house". Commissioner Johrlson questioned support staff
and Mr. Ryan said he would take care of that during the
budget process.
Commissioner Johnson reported that they had approximately
188 kids at the dance last Friday night.
COMMissioner Hager had no comments.
COMMissioner Bat.man asked that our zoning code be upgraded
to provide for a RCE type zoning for at least 1 house per
acre. He also asked that somehow a provision be made for
some method for the Homeowner's Associations to be able to
collect their dues. He asked staff to check on the Harbour
Highlands I proJect. The roads had been roughed in, trees
