Subject: Appointment to the Planning & Zoning Commission (three-year terms).
Background Summary:
Ordinance No. 89-19, creating the Planning and Zoning Board, as amended by Ordinance No. 99-09, requires the selection
of nine (9) members that must be City residents; an attempt must be made to select persons from different geographical
districts and with experience or interest in fields relating to Planning and Zoning (including architect, engineer, general
building, contractor, real estate agent, lay person). There are currently eight (8) members on the board.
Due to the resignation of Darlene Rhodus there is one (1) open seat for this board. Currently, four (4) applications are on
file from Ocoee Residents Carolyn Alexander, Glenda Dunn, Owen Kelley, and William Maxwell who have all indicated
their interest in being a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission. At the Meeting on February 16,2010, this item
was postponed in an attempt to locate an applicant from District 3, which currently only has one member on the board.
Commissioner Johnson will bring to the meeting an application from a resident of District 3.
Issue:
Should the Mayor and City Commission appoint a member to the Planning and Zoning Commission from the applicants
provided to fill the seat vacated by Member Rhodus?
Recommendations
Staff respectfully recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners consider the attached applications,
including the additional application brought to the meeting by Commissioner Johnson, to fill the vacated position on the
Planning and Zoning Commission for a three-year term ending February 2013.

Carolyn S. Alexander
1412 Kirby Street
Ocoee, Florida 34761
I recently retired after a long and productive career in various professions and I am very
interested in serving on a board for the City of Ocoee.
I attended West Virginia University and have taken numerous classes over the years to
further my education. My husband and I have been active members of the community
since the middle 1960's and raised our family here. I was a substitute teacher for
Orange County public schools and did the majority of my teaching in the Ocoee schools.
I had a high level professional job as Executive Secretary to the Regional Vice President
and Managing Director of the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. In this position, I definitely
used and perfected my "people- skills.
One of my most rewarding jobs of my career was as the Development Review
Coordinator in the Planning Division of the Community Development Department for the
City of Ocoee. I definitely know the inner workings of the City and feel that my
knowledge and expertise would be an asset on any of the boards.
Thank you very much for considering me.

To: Jim Sills, Chairman
Ocoee Planning & Zoning Board
Family medical responsibilities will necessitate my being out of state on several occasions in the coming
year. Because of this I feel it best that I submit my resignation as a member of the City of Ocoee
Planning & Zoning board effective immediately.
I have seen a lot of change in our city since being appointed to the board 20 years ago. It has been an
honor and a pleasure to serve alongside so many civic minded individuals who have the best interest of
our fair city at heart. You can always count on them to make sure attention to detail is maintained
throughout the process and there are adequate sidewalks, playgrounds, and other amenities, including
tree preservation, to ensure the highest quality development without compromise.
Good Luck and Good Planning to all of you.
Sincerely, ~
~J.., /t~
