F. CONSENT AGENDA
ALL MATTERS LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE AND WILL BE
ACTED UPON BY ONE MOTION. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS
DISCUSSION IS DESIRED BY A MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION, IN WHICH CASE THE MAYOR WILL
INSTRUCT THE CITY CLERK TO REMOVE THAT ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND SUCH ITEM
WILL BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.
1. Approval of Minutes for Regular City Commission Meeting Held June 15, 2010.
(City Clerk Eikenberry)
2. Approval of Maguire House HV AC Replacement. (Public Works Director
Krug)
The Maguire House restoration included the installation of HV AC units in the attic and under the
house in the crawl space. The Commission approved the replacement of the attic HV AC units when
the roof was replaced earlier this fiscal year. The first floor is cooled by the two units under the house
that consist of a large inaccessible unit that cools the main floor rooms and the second unit cooling the
bathroom. The larger unit is failing and no longer adequately cools the first floor. The location of the
unit and foundation supports under the house does not allow adequate access to repair this unit. Public
Works is proposing to replace the two crawl space units with a single external unit that will occupy
less space than the two existing fan-coil units and be more energy efficient. The proposed single
package unit will cost $10,588.00 and be accessible for maintenance and repairs. Public Works
recommends awarding the work to the City's HV AC Continuing Service Contractor, Apple Air
Conditioning & Heating, Inc., in order to expedite the work. Public Works has reviewed the proposal
and found it to be in line with current industry standard pricing.

3. Approval of Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant FY2010.
(Deputy Police Chief Goclon)
An amount of $18,109 has been made available for the Ocoee Police Department through the Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. With this money, staff recommends the purchase of digital
radios to become compliant with pending Federal mandates and maintain interoperability with
surrounding law enforcement agencies. In order to maintain compatibility and interoperability with
Motorola radios currently utilized by the Orange County radio users group, Motorola radios must be
purchased. Motorola is a sole source provider for these radios and offers only the Orange County
contract pricing.
4. Approval of Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Ocoee and the
IAFF Union. (Human Resources Director Carnicella)
The City and the Union have reached a tentative agreement regarding the number of paid time off
hours the employees should receive as part of their incentive for actively participating in the disease
management wellness plan coordinated through the health center Doctors, Nurses and CareHere
Professionals.
I G. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE
5. RT Ocoee - Rezoning. (Second Reading and Public Hearing is scheduled for July 20, 2010,
Regular Commission Meeting at 7: 15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (Senior Planner Howell)
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from General Industrial (1-2) to Restricted
Manufacturing & Warehousing (1-1). The rezoning is being requested to permit a wholesale/internet
vehicle sales location where customers will be invited onto the premises by appointment only with the
appointments being setup through the internet. The applicant is requesting the rezoning since the 1-2
zoning designation does not permit car sales as an allowable use.
I H. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE - PUBLIC HEARING
6. Second Reading of Ordinance Relating to Amending the Ocoee Land
Development Code Re: CRA Target Areas Special Development Plan. (Advertised
in the Orlando Sentinel on Sunday, June 6, 2010, and Thursday, June 24, 2010). (CRA
Administrator Wagner)
In order to implement the goals identified for the Ocoee Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), the
CRA Board budgeted funds to hire a consultant to assist in the development of an Overlay Plan. In
June of2009, a contract was entered into with Glatting, Jackson, Kercher & Anglin (now AECOM) to
initiate a visioning process. This process would lead to the creation of a Regulating Plan which would
guide growth within the CRA and certain areas adjacent thereto which were included in the original
blight study, but which are not located within the CRA. As visioning unfolded, three primary target
areas were identified which offered the greatest potential for development to meet the overall
objectives of the Ocoee CRA Redevelopment Plan. The CRA Target Areas are located within the
Minorville and Lake Bennet Activity Centers. The CRA Target Areas Special Development Plan is
the culmination of many months of work with local stakeholders, land owners, developers, local
businesses, hospital staff, and City officials to create a planning guide encapsulating a shared vision for
new growth. This process creates a vision and provides an interim mechanism that may be used to
allow quality development to occur within the Target Areas prior to execution of a true form-based
code.
I I. PUBLIC HEARINGS
7. 733 Lyman Avenue Variance. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, June 24,
2010). (Principal Planner Rumer)
The applicant, Jesus Garcia is requesting a side street setback variance from 25 feet to 18.27 feet for a
proposed addition to the main dwelling structure. The room addition will be added to the rear of the
existing dwelling structure. The structure was constructed in 1930 on a lot platted in 1925, in the
Page 2 of 5
City Commission Regular

Seegar Subdivision. The structure is considered by the City as a legally non-conforming since the
structure does not comply with the required setbacks. The applicant intends to construct the addition
to the rear of the dwelling structure. The addition will keep the same building setback as the existing
structure. The applicant explained that the addition cannot be off-set to meet the 25 foot setback
because of the location of the access door from the main dwelling.
8. 1104 Doreen Avenue Variance. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, June 24,
2010). (Principal Planner Rumer)
The applicant, Maggie Keen is under a City of Ocoee code violation for construction of a room
addition without pulling building permits. The applicant enclosed an existing screened porch with
masonry block. The property contains a shed that is located 2.8 feet from the screened porch (see site
plan). The existing separation of the shed and the screened porch is permitted by code. The City's
Land Development Code, Section 5-6, Article V (B); states... No separate accessory building shall be
located within five (5) feet of any other building. Once the applicant enclosed the screened porch, the
accessory building violates the code stated above. The applicant is complying with the code violation
by pulling the required building permits for the room addition. The first step in the building permit
process is receiving zoning approval for setbacks, which is contingent upon the variance request.
9. Maguire's Addition to Ocoee Un-named Right-of-Way Vacation. (Advertised in the
West Orange Times on Thursday, June 24,2010). (Principal Planner Rumer)
The specific area of the right-of-way runs in a North-South and East-West ("L" shaped) direction
between Silver Star road and Lakewood Ave. The request is to only vacate and abandon the Northern
20 feet and the Western 20 feet of the un-named right-of-way.
