Crawford, Turner, Carter and Whitehead Absent: None The recessed meeting was called to order by Mayor Fox at 7:30 P.M. The meeting was to discuss the progress and problems of the West Orange Industrial Park with Jim Clark, and Mr. Jack McDonald of the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District also met with the Comm- issioners to discuss the franchise they have with Ocoee. Mr. McDonald stated they felt they could spend approximately $50,000.00 to install gas lines:.in Ocoee, up Wurst Road into Peach Lake Manor at the time the franchise was. signed, but they were not finanicially able to do so at this time. He stated they would come into Ocoee at the earliest possible date, whcih may be three or four years, but their franchise has already expired as of this date. He told the Commissioners if they could find someone else to install gas lines in Ocoee they would be out, but if not when they were in a position to come into Ocoee they would have to renegotiate with the City conserning the franchise. Mayor Fox proposed to the Commissioners to give them a chance before trying to get someone else. The Commissioners agreed with this decision. Mr. Jim Clark discussed. the sewer plant and the drainage of the West Orange Industrial Park. The Commissioners discussed the drainage ditches in the park and felt they should not be left open, but he had the drainage plans for the park and they had been approved by the County Engineer. Comm. Crawford asked r~~ Clark where the water was going after leaving Ocoee and Mr. Clark explained the course of the water on his plans. ~~. Clark informed the commissioners that the County Commissioners had stated that Bowness Road had erverted back to the o\~er, JerrY Brown, since thei.County had not complied with all agreements when the Road was dedicated. The County had promised f~. Brown a North to South drainage ditch from his prpperty through the Park. Mr. Clark is willing to give an easement for this ditch so Bowness Road will not be closed. ~~. Clarks plans are to be sent to our engineer for his approval before the Commissioners will accept them. I _I I I I ~~. Clark also informed the Commissioners that his sewerage plant for the park will be delivered Thursday~ He was informed by the Commissioners that they will not approve any more building per- mits in the park until the sewerage plant is in operation and the drainage approved by our engineers. Mayor Fox had received a letter from Otty M. Stewart asking that his property at 327 W. Silver Star Road be annexed into the City as of January 1, 1972. Mr. Tyus, of LakeShore Gardens informed the Commissioners that he had met with Mr. Oliver to find the location of the water lines in the development and was making plans to install his own water lines on the remainder of the streets. He also wants to know if the City is interested in the sewerage plant or not and if the City will extend his lease on the property where the plant is built. In reference to the extension of the lease, our attorney is to check into the possibility of extending the lease. Comm.
