Approval of Change Order #4 for West Orange Transmission
System Public Works Director Brenner
Public Works Director Brenner explained that the requested
change order was necessary to provide sewer service to the
southern part of the City and that it was more cost effective
to do the work now while other utility relocations were
underway. He said the sewer extension would provide service
in the future to several businesses along Maguire Road south
of SR 50: the Colony Plaza, Village Market Shopping Center,
Orange Bank, a planned health care facility, and Orange Tree
Cinema and the other businesses located in that plaza.
Public Works Director Brenner said it would provide the
Heller Developers with partial sewer service as well.
Acting City Manager Finch explained that since this request
by Mr. Brenner, he had spoken with the City's consulting
engineers and that they recommended that the Commission
approve the authorization for Professional Engineering
Consultants (PEC) to design and permit the work to be done
and within that time the City could bid the project out. He
said he had received an estimated cost on consultant's fees
of $12,500 for the designing and permitting.
e
commissioner Dabbs said he wondered how staff could give the
Commission two recommendations on the same night. He asked
Acting City Manager Finch to provide the Commission with his
recommendation since he was acting in the place of the City
Manager. Acting City Manager Finch said he was not at work
on the previous Friday when the packets had to go out to the
Commissioners and therefore the staff report from Public
Works Director Brenner went to the Commission. Mr. Finch
said he was given a period of 60-90 days for PEC to design
and permit the 1300-1500 foot extension of the sewer lines.
He recommended that the Commission authorize PEC to begin
this process and for staff to go to bid on the project.
Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the recommendation for
PEC to design and obtain the necessary permitting for the
project and for staff to go to bid, Commissioner Bateman

the motion carried
Acting City Manager Finch also addressed another project that
was discussed at the previous City Commission meeting. Mr.
Finch referred to the three bids listed in his staff report
to the Mayor and Commissioners concerning the Silver Star
Road/Bluford Avenue water main improvements. Acting City
Manager Finch recommended that Free Piping, Inc., who had the
lowest bid, be awarded the contract. Mr. Finch reminded the
Commission that Free Piping was already involved with doing
similar work at the intersection of Maguire Road and SR 50.
Acting City Manager Finch said sufficient funds were
available for the project.
e
City Attorney Woodson said the Commission would need to
declare this an emergency item if it wanted to take action on
it since it was not already on the agenda. Acting City
Manager Finch said it was important that they did not lose
time by waiting to put the item on the agenda for the next
meeting since the Department of Transportation (DOT) would be
starting its work soon. Mr. Finch recommended that the City
Commission declare the item an emergency and take action on
it at this meeting.
Acting Mayor Hager formally declared it an emergency item.
Commissioner Bateman asked for verification that funding was
available. Acting City Manager Finch said he asked Finance
Director Poston and that there were sufficient monies
available. Commissioner Bateman moved to approve the
awarding of the contract to Free Piping, Inc. with the
provision that contingency monies also be set aside if
needed, Commissioner Johnson seconded, and approval was
unanimous.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
e
CASE 01C-88, Moremen, Sheppard, Murray, and Davis
Assistant Planner Myers said the property was a 27 acre
parcel located south of Geneva Street and east of Chicago
Avenue. She said the County presently had the land use as
low density, single family residential and that the staff was
recommending that a land use of medium to high density
residential with one acre of commercial be approved.
Assistant Planner Myers said that the Planning & Zoning Board
had recommended approval of the above with a further request
to make sure adequate access was provided for. Acting Mayor
Hager opened the public hearing. Ellen Slessinger of the
e
Page 3
Special Session Commission Meeting
July 26, 1988
Orange County Planning Department told the Commission that
the County was opposed to the recommendation of City staff.
She said the land use was inconsistent with the County's
strategic plan as it extended the commercial boundary past
where it was previously planned.
Commissioner Bateman asked for clarification from Assistant
Planner Myers as he thought the commercial would be south of
Maine Street and within the area where commercial was
planned. Ms. Myers said Commissioner Bateman was correct and
that the commercial area was the area south of Maine Street.
Ms. Slessinger apologized for her confusion and stated that
the County therefore had no problems with the City staff's
recommendation.
e
There being no further public comments, Acting Mayor Hager
closed the public hearing. Commissioner Dabbs moved to
approve the recommended land use, Commissioner Johnson
seconded, and upon a roll call vote, the motion carried
unanimously.
CASE 02C-88, Anemar, Inc.
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as an 8 acre
parcel located south of Silver Star Road and west of Lake
Street. Ms. Myers said the property's land use in the County
presently was listed as rural residential. Commissioner
Bateman pointed out that either the staff report or the map
was incorrect as one said the parcel was 7.9 acres and one
said 8.9 acres. Ms. Myers said the map was incorrect and
that it was a 7.9 acre parcel. Assistant Planner Myers said
staff was recommending a residential land use and that the
Planning & Zoning Board had agreed with staff's
recommendation.
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Dave Outlaw of
Wescar, Inc. said he represented the managing partners of
this property and was at the meeting to answer any questions
the Commission had. Since there were no other public
comments, Acting Mayor Hager closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Dabbs moved to approve the residential land use,
Commissioner Bateman seconded, and approval was unanimous by
roll call vote.
e
CASE 03C-88, Yusuf Mohamad
Assistant Planner Myers said this was an 8.5 acre parcel
located north of Silver Star Road between Good Homes Road and
Lake Johio Shores Road. The present land use under the
County was stated as residential but the petitioner was
requesting commercial. Ms. Myers said the Planning & Zoning
e
Page 4
Special Session Commission Meeting
July 26, 1988
Board requested denial of the petitioner's request by a vote
of 6-1 stating that there was no other commercial land use
surrounding that area. Staff also recommended that the
petitioner's request be denied.
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing.
Slessinger from the Orange County Planning Department

J.D. Hammock, 3000 North Apopka-Vineland Road, Orlando, who
also lives in the area, requested that the Commission deny
the commercial land use. Ms. Hammock said that homes in the
area are generally worth around $100,000 and that this would
hurt the value of these homes. She mentioned the new
development, Coventry at Ocoee, that was being built and that
homes in that subdivision were selling near $100,000. Ms.
Hammock said the area did not need more shopping areas since
there was a shopping plaza at Hiawassee and Silver Star Road
and that there were still vacant shops there.
There were no other public comments and Acting Mayor Hager
closed the hearing. Commissioner Bateman moved to disapprove
the petitioner's request for commercial land use,
Commissioner Johnson seconded, and approval was unanimous by
roll call vote.
e
CASE 04C-88, Wayne Atwood
Assistant Planner Myers described the 53 acre parcel
Lake Johio and west of Johio Shores Road. Ms. Myers

to answer questions if the Commission so desired.
Commissioner Bateman asked Mr. Atwood if he had any problem
with the City's plans for Clark Road. Mr. Atwood said he
knew of the City's plans for Clark Road and was willing to
work with the City on specifics. Since there were no other
comments, Acting Mayor Hager closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the residential land
use, Commissioner Bateman seconded, and approval was
unanimous by roll call vote.
CASE OSC-88, Lake Blanchard Partnership
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 16 acre
parcel located north of Lake Blanchard, south of Maine Street
and east of Chicago Avenue. Ms. Myers said the petitioner
requested a commercial land use and that it was presently
classified as high density residential. She said under the
City's land use plan it had been planned for commercial. The
Planning & Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of
the request, provided that the street network was maintained.
e
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Bruce Milray,
representing the petitioner, said the petitioner was already
committed in the Developer's Agreement to continue the street
network. He requested approval of the commercial land use.
There being no other comments Acting Mayor Hager closed the
public hearing. Commissioner Dabbs moved to approve the
commercial land use, Commissioner Bateman seconded, and
approval was unanimous by roll call vote.
CASE 06C-88, E. H. Crow
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 10 acre
parcel located south of Marshall Farms Road and east of
Windermere Road. She said the Heller tract was directly
east. Staff recommended that the petitioner's request be
approved. The Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval
of the residential land use as well.
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Ann Crow, who
owns the property along with her husband, said she was at the
meeting to answer any questions. She requested approval of
their request and said the residential land use was
consistent with the Heller property.
e
There being no other public comments, Acting Mayor Hager
closed the public hearing. Commissioner Dabbs moved to
approve the residential land use, Commissioner Johnson
seconded, and approval was unanimous by a roll call vote.
CASE 07C-88, Roger Freeman
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as an 11 acre
e

Special Session Commission Meeting
July 26, 1988
parcel located west of Ocoee-Apopka Road and approximately
1320 feet north of Palm Drive. Ms. Myers said the petitioner
was requesting industrial land use and planned to develop the
property for light industrial in the future. The Planning &
Zoning Board recommended that approval be granted for the
industrial land use. Staff also recommended approval of the
petitioner's request.
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Roger Freeman,
151 W. Silver Star Road, requested that the industrial land
use be approved and said he was at the meeting to answer any
questions the Commission had.
.
Ellen Slessinger of the Orange County Planning Department
said the County recommended denial of the petitioner's
request for industrial land use. Ms. Slessinger said it was
inconsistent with other zoning in the area. Commissioner
Johnson asked Ms. Slessinger if she had been out to look at
the area. Ms. Slessinger said she had not. Commissioner
Johnson said that there was a funeral home and other
businesses in the area and that not many homes remained. He
suggested that she visit areas before making recommendations.
There being no other comments, Acting Mayor Hager closed the
public hearing.
Commissioner Bateman moved to approve the industrial
use, Commissioner Johnson seconded, and approval
unanimous by roll call vote.

CASE 08C-88, Roger Freeman
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 5 acre
parcel located east of Ocoee-Apopka Road approximately 900
feet north of Silver Star Road. Ms. Myers said the
petitioner was requesting industrial land use and staff
recommended approval of the request. The Planning & Zoning
Board recommended approval of the industrial land use by a 4-
3 vote.
e
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Roger Freeman,
151 W. Silver Star Road, said he again requested his petition
be approved and that he did not feel that the land could be
used for residential purposes. Ellen Slessinger,
representing Orange County, said the County wanted to go on
record as recommending denial of the request since it felt
the land use would be inconsistent with the surrounding area.
Commissioner Bateman reiterated Commissioner Johnson's
comment to Ms. Slessinger that the County should go and
physically look at the area to see that it would not be
inconsistent with what was there. There being no other
e

comments, Mayor Hager closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the industrial land use
and Commissioner Bateman seconded. Commissioner Dabbs
questioned Acting City Manager Finch on the buffer zones that
would be necessary since the property abuts a mobile home
park. Acting City Manager Finch said he was sure a buffer
would be needed but was unsure as to the amount. Assistant
Planner Myers said she thought it was between 10-20 feet.
Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the industrial land
use, Commissioner Bateman seconded, and approval was
unanimous by roll call vote. Commissioner Dabbs approved the
industrial land use with reservation.
e
CASE 09C-SS, Pearl Terry
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 20 acre
parcel located south of Geneva Street and east of B.C. Terry
Road. Ms. Myers said the present land use in the County
called for low density residential and that the petitioner
was requesting a residential land use. The Planning & Zoning
Board unanimously recommended approval of the request.
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Lou Raeder,
agent for Pearl Terry, said he was at the meeting to answer
any questions the Commission had. Since there were no public
or Commissioner comments, Acting Mayor Hager closed the
public hearing. Commissioner Dabbs moved to approve the
staff recommendation of residential land use, Commissioner
Bateman seconded, and approval was unanimous by roll call
vote.
CASE 10C-SS, Phoenix Development Group
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 196 acre
tract located at the southern most edge of the City. She
said the petitioner was requesting that 173 acres be approved
for residential land use and 23 acres for commercial land
use (the commercial to be at the southern edge of the
property) . Staff recommended approval of residential and
commercial land uses with the provision that the portion
outside the Joint Planning Area (JPA) be approved upon
amendment of the Joint Planning Area Agreement with Orange
County. The Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval
subject to the JPA being amended.
e
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Lou Raeder of
Phoenix Development Group said he was at the meeting to
answer any questions for the Commission.
Ellen Slessinger, Orange County Planning Department, said the
County requested denial of this request for high density
residential and commercial land use because it would
e
e
e
Page 8
Special Session Commission Meeting
July 26, 1988
negatively impact the surrounding area. Ms. Slessinger said
under the present County land use the property was planned
for two-acre lots. She also said the unavailability of
services to that area would create a problem.
Vera Carter, County Commissioner and resident of the
Windermere area, said she had seen the Ocoee City Commission
respond to its neighbors and friends in the past when they
had requested denial of multi-family housing and that she
hoped they would again deny the high density residential for
this area. Commissioner Carter said she was not concerned
with the growth of Ocoee, but was concerned with the City
putting different densities and land uses where they were not
appropriate. She also asked the Commission to consider what
impact a shopping center at this site would have on existing
Ocoee businesses along SR 50.
Commissioner Carter also asked the Commission to consider the
impact that the additional traffic would have on Maguire
Road. She said she was concerned with the quality of life in
west Orange County and that many people wanted it to remain
rural. She asked that the Ocoee Commissioners not give in to
the pressure of developers who want approvals granted before
they annex into the City. She concluded by stating that as a
resident of the area she wanted to see low density
residential in this specific area.
Debra Abbuhl, 10555 Gotha Road, Windermere, told the
Commission that she bought a home in Gotha for the rural
atmosphere and that she was concerned with the traffic that
high density residential and commercial development would
bring in. She asked the Commission to deny the petitioner's
request.
R.P. Mohnacky, 1820 Prairie Lake Boulevard, was concerned
that if the Commission eliminated the high density
residential, they would have to locate that type of housing
elsewhere in the City. Mr. Mohnacky said he would rather see
it go where it was planned for in the first place. He asked
whether or not the Commission was interested in obtaining
federal funds and said he thought that the City needed to
have a certain amount of high density residential to qualify
for those monies.
James Ferdinand, a principal in the Phoenix Development
Group, said he had not heard any objections to the project
for two years and that the people at the meeting were not
Ocoee residents. Dr. Ferdinand said the staff and the
Planning & Zoning Board both recommended approval of the
requested land use and County Commissioner Marston had only a
-
Page 9
Special Session Commission Meeting
July 26, 1988
minor problem. Dr. Ferdinand said the project would help the
City's utility plans, add to the City's tax base, and provide
recreational space for City residents. He said that the area
was not rural in nature and that some property adjacent to
this property was already multi-family. He said his company
had hired a firm to do a traffic study and that the study
showed that there would not be a traffic problem caused by
this project.
Florence Johnson of Gotha approached the Commission and asked
that the petitioner's request be denied. She also was
concerned about keeping the area rural.
e
There being no other comments, Acting Mayor Hager closed the
public hearing. Commissioner Bateman moved to approve the
staff's recommendation for a residential and commercial land
use, and Commissioner Johnson seconded. Commissioner Bateman
said he appreciated the comments from the individuals who had
spoken against the petitioner's request. He said he does not
feel that Ocoee has experienced the growth that people think.
He said that in his four years on the Commission, there have
been less than 400 new residences built and that the
commercial building had been mostly the "town square" type
such as the Walmart plaza.
Commissioner Bateman said he took his own survey outside of
Walmart when he was registering voters with the Kiwanis Club.
He said he asked people where they were from as they went
into Walmart. He found that three out of ten people were
from Windermere and three out of ten people were from Lake
County. Therefore, six out of ten people were from somewhere
other than Ocoee. Commissioner Bateman said he felt this
proved there was a need for shopping centers such as the
Walmart plaza and that something like a Goodings, Publix, or
home or office supply store would be helpful to the residents
of West Orange County. He said he had no concern for Maguire
Road and felt that the traffic generated would not create a
problem.
Commissioner Bateman said he did not see the growth that
everyone seemed to be so concerned with. He said he thought
that the West Orange County area could use some good
restaurants instead of having to travel to International
Drive.
.
Commissioner Dabbs had a few questions for the developer. He
said that they had mentioned that Commissioner Marston had a
suggestion or a minor problem and asked what it was. Dr.
Ferdinand said Commissioner Marston wanted a buffer zone
using one acre lots at the eastern and southern portions of
e
Page 10
Special Session Commission Meeting
July 26, 1988
the property. Commissioner Dabbs also wanted to know who did
the traffic study that they referred to. Dr. Ferdinand said
C.C.L. Consultants did the study and that Martin Kreidt did
the demographic data.
Commissioner Johnson asked Commissioner Carter what the
County planned on doing for Maguire Road since the Belmere
Project would 'affect traffic in the area. Commissioner
Carter said that the density was the key and that Belmere was
planned as a single family residential area that would not
produce as much traffic as a high density, multi-family
project. Commissioner Carter mentioned the road improvements
that the County was presently working on. She again said the
issue was density and that the City should not approve a
shopping center or high density housing where the people do
not want it. Commissioner Carter said that the developer was
not interested in building this project for the City of
Ocoee, but that it was being built to serve Windermere.
e
Commissioner Bateman said the County had done a great job on
the Silver Star Road construction and thanked Commissioner
Carter and the other County Commissioners for their work to
improve the roadways in Orange County.

the
CASE 11e-SS, Lake Lotta, Ltd.
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 238 acre
parcel located between SR 50 and White Road on either side of
Clark Road. Ms. Myers said the property was planned for high
density and single family residential but the staff's
recommendations were consistent with the petitioner's request
for 220 acres of residential and 18 acres of commercial. The
commercial would be the property fronting SR 50. The
Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of the City
staff's recommendation.
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Steve
Fieldman, attorney representing Lake Lotta, Ltd., said that
Clark Road would split the Lake Lotta property. He said the
County planned high density residential for the property
fronting SR 50 but that the petitioner felt commercial land
use would suit the area better.
tit Ellen Slessinger, Orange County Planning Department, said the
County was requesting denial of the commercial land use
because of the traffic it would bring to the area. She said
commercial land use would generate more traffic than a high
density residential land use would.

Special Session Commission Meeting
July 26, 1988
R.P. Mohnacky, 1820 prairie Lake Boulevard, repeated his
earlier concerns that if the City did not put the high
density residential there as it planned, then it ~ay need to
be put in a less desirable location in the future.
There were no other public comments and Acting Mayor Hager
closed the public hearing. Commissioner Bateman asked Steve
Fieldman if he had discussed the east-west connector roads
with staff. Mr. Fieldman said they were waiting on the City
to make a decision on the roads and that they are prepared to
work with the City and are open to almost anything. He said
they were neutral as far as cost was concerned and were most
interested in the City making a decision.
e
Commissioner Bateman said he was most interested in knowing
that there would be some east-west connector roads,
especially to the west. Mr. Fieldman said they had agreed to
do connector roads. Commissioner Bateman asked Mr. Fieldman
whether the people he represented would be receptive to the
realignment of White Road where the bad curve exists because
of a sink hole. Commissioner Bateman said he would like to
see the sink hole bridged and the road straightened out. Mr.
Fieldman said he thought they would agree to that and said he
would discuss it with the principals involved.
Commissioner Bateman moved to approve the Lake Lotta
commercial and residential land uses, Commissioner Johnson
seconded, and approval was unanimous by roll call vote.
Commissioner Dabbs asked when the issue of rezoning would be
addressed. Assistant Planner Myers said the rezoning matters
would take place on August 23.
CASE 12C-88, Jeffrey Yeager
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 25 acre
parcel located directly east of the Lake Lotta project. Ms.
Myers said the petitioner was requesting 16.5 acres of medium
commercial land use and 8.5 acres of light commercial
(professional services) at the northern edge of the property.
The Planning & Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval
of the request.
e
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Steve Fieldman,
representing the principals for the Yeager property, said
they first met with Rose Hill subdivision homeowners and
suggested a medium to high density residential land use
(townhouses) and then suggested professional offices. Mr.
Fieldman said they were willing to go either way. They also
instituted their own traffic study to see what affect an
east-west road would have on Good Homes Road. Mr. Fieldman
e
e
.
Page 12
Special Session Commission Meeting
July 26, 1988
said they were neutral economically and were very willing to
work with the City and the adjacent homeowners.
Commissioner Dabbs asked Mr. Fieldman who they had to do
their traffic study. Mr. Fieldman said he had discussed with
PEC who to use and they used Jim Lee a traffic engineer.
Commissioner Dabbs said he wanted to see an east-west road
more north on this piece of property. Commissioner Bateman
said the road would make a good buffer between the Rose Hill
homes and the development of this property. He said also
that an east-west road would take people to Good Homes and
then onto SR 50 rather than having another road directly to
SR 50.
There being no other comments, Acting Mayor Hager closed the
public hearing. Commissioner Dabbs moved to approve the
commercial and professional land use, Commissioner Bateman
seconded, and approval was unanimous by roll call vote.
CASE 13C-88, Michael & Barry Goodman
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 9 acre
parcel located south of SR 50 and east of Lake Lotta. The
petitioner was requesting commercial land use but staff
cautioned this use since the property was not at an
established intersection and the property was also surrounded
by property owned by a church. The County and City's West SR
50 Study proposed that a high density residential land use be
approved for this area. Ms. Myers said that the Planning &
Zoning Board unanimously recommended a residential land use
be approved.
Acting Mayor Hager opened the public hearing. Steve Fieldman
said that the Planning & Zoning Board was not unanimous in
its decision but that two members had voted for a commercial
land use. (Minutes of the Planning & Zoning Board Meeting
showed that Harold Swickerath and Burton Smith voted against
the residential land use.) Mr. Fieldman said that there was
an intersection on the property at Cemetery Road and SR 50.
He said the problem with the staff's recommendation was that
they did not include Cemetery Road in their decision and that
the staff assumed that the church would not sell the property
in the future. Mr. Fieldman said he disapproved of the
residential land use because the parcel was only 9 acres and
they did not believe they could build a top-notch high
density residential complex on that small of a site. He said
they felt it was most appropriate for commercial land use.
Ellen Slessinger, Orange County Planning Department, said the
County did not approve of the commercial land use because of
-

the traffic it would generate as opposed to
residential. The County was also concerned

R.P. Mohnacky, 1820 Prairie Lake Boulevard, said he again
wanted to voice his concerns that the City was taking away a
lot of the high density residential land use areas it had
planned and he thought that some time in the future the City
would have to find somewhere in the City limits to put high
density housing and that it might end up in a less desirable
location.
-
There being no other comments, Acting Mayor Hager closed the
public hearing. Commissioner Bateman asked City Attorney
Woodson if it was possible to make a motion for a land use
and put a fixed date on when it must be developed in that
manner. City Attorney Woodson said it was not possible to
make such a motion and that if the City Commission wanted to
change the land use in the future, it would have to vote on
it again then. City Attorney Woodson reminded the
Commissioners that anything they did this evening could be
changed since it was only the first public hearing.
Commissioner Bateman supported the petitioner's request for
commercial property and agreed that the church may decide to
sell the property. Commissioner Dabbs asked how far Cemetery
Road was from Good Homes Road since he felt the Good Homes
Road was already a dangerous intersection and putting another
one too close would make it more so. Steve Fieldman said he
thought it was about 660 feet. Mr. Fieldman also asked
whether a time limit on developing for commercial purposes
could be put in the Developer's Agreement. Attorney Woodson
said that could be addressed in the Developer's Agreement.
commissioner Bateman moved to approve a commercial land use
and Commissioner Johnson seconded. Upon a roll call vote
Commissioners Johnson and Bateman voted to approve the
motion, and Commissioner Dabbs voted against. Mayor Pro Tern
Hager voted for the motion for commercial land use.
.
CASE 14C-88, Reformed Presbyterian Church
Assistant Planner Myers described the property as a 5 acre
parcel located north of White Road approximately 1/8 mile
east of Clark Road. Ms. Myers said the property was
surrounded by residential and vacant land. The Planning &
Zoning Board recommended unanimously to approve the
petitioner's request.
.
