Award of Bid #10-04 Central Park Parking Area Improvements to Barracuda Building Corp. in the Amount of $66,512.93. (Purchasing Agent Tolbert) Bids were received for the improvements at Central Park parking area. The project consists of furnishing the labor, material, equipment, tools, services and other incidentals required for the improvements at Central Park. The improvements consist of constructing a grass overflow parking area, raise and realign Armstrong Alley, install parking spaces along the Alley, install sidewalks, relocate a sand volleyball court, construct a sand boat launch area on Lake Moxie, and make related improvements. 3. Approval of City Pond #6 Outfall Repair with APEC. (Public Works Director Krug) City Pond #6 is located north of Marlene Drive as part of the Twin Lake Woods neighborhood. The pond outfall pipe has separated and allowed water to erode under the outfall control structure creating an unsafe condition. Untreated storm water is bypassing the outfall structure and draining directly to the separated outfall pipe. The structure must be re-set, the pipe repaired and the pond bank filled to function as designed. This work requires the use of large equipment not owned by the City. Based on the quality of the work performed by APEC on the Cumberland Avenue storm drainage repair, Public City Commission Regular February 2, 2010 Works is requesting the Commission waive the bid process and award the work to APEC, piggy backing on the existing Seminole County Continuous Construction Services Contract No. CC-I075- 06/TLR. APEC has furnished a price of $24,090.00 to perform this repair work. 4. Approval of Change Order No.1 in the Amount of $2,286.50 to Closeout the Windstone Retrofit and Forest Trail Extension Reclaimed Water System Construction Contract. (CIP Manager Butler) The FY 2009 budget included $344,400 in utility bond funds for the retrofit construction of a reclaimed water system within the Windstone Subdivision with an extension across Clarcona-Ocoee Road to serve the Forest Trail Subdivision, which already has a reclaimed water distribution system. The project was awarded through competitive bidding to Cimarron Construction Co. in the amount of $191,068.50. Work has been completed and it is now necessary to reconcile the bid and installed quantities for all unit price items in the project. I G. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES 5. Prairie Lake PUD - Substantial Amendment. (Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for February 16, 2010, Regular Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (Principal Planner Fabre) The Prairie Lake PUD/Land Use Plan was officially approved by the City Commission on April 16, 1991. Then it was later amended twice, once on June 4, 1996, and on December 16,2003. The existing Prairie Lake PUD Land Use Plan indicates that Townhomes, Patiohomes and Villas are all permitted uses on Tract "G"; however, due to the current market conditions, the applicant/owner has requested to add Assisted Congregated Living Facility (ACLF), Nursing Home, Two-Family Dwelling and Single- Family Dwelling as permitted uses for Tract "G". The proposed ACLF/Nursing Home development standards, if approved, would be limited to a maximum of 300 assisted living units with a maximum building height of 4 Stories/55 feet. The other requested uses will use the existing residential development standards for Prairie Lake PUD. Accordingly, the Land Use Plan was amended to reflect the Applicants' request. This requested Land Use Amendment will only affect Tract "G" of the Prairie Lake PUD. Accordingly, the existing Development Agreement will also have to be amended. I Crest Variance - 92 Bexley Blvd. (Advertised for Public Hearing in Orlando Sentinel Legal Classified on Thursday, January 21,2010). (Principal Planner Rumer) The applicant, Ken Crest is requesting a side yard setback variance from 7.5 feet to 3 feet for a proposed pool screen enclosure. An existing in-ground pool is located on the south side of the lot due to the elevation in the rear yard. The City of Ocoee vacated the five (5) foot Utility Easement located within the 7.5 foot setback on January 5, 2010. I H. PUBLIC HEARINGS 6. I I. REGULAR AGENDA 7. Request for Reduction of Fine and Release of Lien Code Enforcement Board Case No. 09-295, Vixen fitness, LLC. (Deputy Chief Stanley) The business owner changed the name from Vertical Fitness to Vixen Fitness, and did not obtain the proper permits from the city. This property was inspected by the Building Official and it was determined that a sign permit was required. On October 27, 2009, the City Code Enforcement Board gave the business owner until November 13,2009, to comply. They did not comply until December 17, 2009, by removing the sign. Tenant apologized and advised they did not know that sign removal would gain compliance or they would have done it sooner. They stated they thought compliance could only be gained through issuance of a permit. Business had problems with sign contractor who did not obtain permit. The Code Enforcement Board voted to uphold the original fine amount of $4,950.00. City staff has incurred $556.30 in fees (attorney, staff, recording of lien, etc).

(Community Relations Manager Wright) The City Commission voted to award MVP grants to 11 organizations at the January 19, 2010, City Commission meeting. Each organization was awarded $909. The $909 each organization was awarded, was divided equally from the $10,000 available for the MVP grants. The Rotary Club of Ocoee submitted a MVP grant application before the deadline, however it was not presented at the January 19 city commission meeting. They are requesting $2,000 to provide college scholarships to Ocoee High School graduates. Based on the City Commission's decision to award grants to all of the 11 eligible organizations that applied, staff respectfully recommends awarding a grant of $909 to the Rotary Club ofOcoee to be funded from contingency. 9. Amend the Existing Grant From the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in Order to Terminate the Planned Project to Construct a Detention Pond Adjacent to City Hall. (CIP Manager Butler) In January 2007, the City of Ocoee received a 50% matching grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for $1,400,000 in order to fund a TMDL Water Quality Orant Project to construct a wet detention pond adjacent to City Hall. The purpose of the pond was to remove sediment and reduce nutrient pollutants contained in storm water runoff flowing into Starke Lake from the Starke Lake Watershed. The City retained the firm of Professional Engineering Consultants (PEe) to design and permit the stormwater management facility. Several conceptual designs were proposed, however none could be realistically constructed due to the constraints of the property and other technical factors, such as the proximity of buildings and the pond depth requirements for adequate stormwater detention time. The ultimate conclusion by PEC, FDEP, and City staffwas that the location was not suitable for the planned facility. I J. STAFF ACTION ITEMS I K.
