NEW BUSINESS
A. Application for Zoning Change - Bruce Stricker
Bruce Stricker has petitioned the City of Ocoee for a zone change from
Al and RC2 to R -1 -A for his property located at Johio Shores Road for the
purpose of developing single family homes. Chairman Breeze commended Mr.
Stricker for changing from the duplexes he had originally planned to ask
for to the single family homes, since his neighbors objected to the duplexes.
It was noted that Mr. Stricker has received the waiver of the moratorium from
Orange County on the zoning change. Comments were made from the audience in
reference to the number of homes per acre, whether the developer would pave
the road and a provision for saving trees. Chairman Breeze explained that
Nor this was not a function of the Zoning Board but rather up to the City Board
of Commissioners. Burton Smith moved to approve the petition for zone change
as submitted, John Linebarier seconded. Approved unanimously.
B. Application for Zoning Change - Marc Grimes, Agent for Rodney Metz, Partner
Marc Grimes, Agent for Rodney Metz has petitioned the City of Ocoee for
a zone change from Al and C2 to PS for his property located at the Northwest
corner of Maguire Road and the Florida Turnpike. Mr. Grimes explained that
they wanted to subdivide the property into a professional park with mainly
medical and professional offices. He is concerned with the request by the
City for a street extension through his property as most of the property
behind them is zoned C3 and they do not want semi trucks running through
their property. Planner Russ Wagner explained that the reason they asked
for the street extension was to get direction for Mr. Grimes when he is
preparing his plat. There are several long and landlocked parcels that
could be developed in the future and the city should plan for future develop-
ments. Chairman Breeze stated that he could not see penalyzing the developer
or City purchasing right -of -way. Mr. Grimes stated that he would not be able
to deny those property owners access or shut them off. Wayne Dann told the
board that he owned property behind this property and a lot of it was swamp
and the muck is very deep in that area. Chairman Breeze was not in favor
of the road. City Manager Griffin stated that the only reason Mr. Wagner
brought it up was to try to provide dual access. Edgar Brooklyn moved to
approve the zoning request as submitted, Marvin Sanders seconded. Approved
unanimously.

C. Application for Deannexation - Wayne Dann, Sr.
Wayne Dann, Sr. has petitioned the City for deannexation of his property
%ow located on Marshall Farms Road South of Highway 50. City Manager Ken Griffin
explained the reason for this petition to the board. In 1977, Ordinance 648
of the City of Ocoee was adopted and this included the property owned by Mr.
Dann. Mr. Dann was never notified of the annexation and the Ordinance shows
the owners to be First Realty Advisors. It is thought that possibly the wrong
legal description was used for the Ordinance as it includes a whole 1/4 section.
This matter was brought to light when City staff was working with Orange
County in trying to make sure all of the annexations had been sent to them
and in trying to get new maps showing current city boundaries. Mr. Dann's
property was then put on the City tax roll and he was made aware of being
in the City limits - this was his first notification. Chairman Breeze stated
that they wanted to do what they could to make it right. City Manager Griffin
said they would have to deannex. Marvin Sanders moved to approve the petition
for deannexation as presented, John Linebarier seconded. Approved unanimously.
COMMENTS
A. CITY MANAGER
1. Site Plan Ordinance - City Manager Griffin asked the boards'feelings
on a site plan ordinance. The new subdivision regulations are brief and the
staff feel they could process better if they had guidelines. Chairman Breeze
felt they could handle better also if they pick up the spot lots and regulate
those.
2. Short Form Subdivision Ordinance - City Manager Griffin asked the
board if they would favor a short form subdivision ordinance and establish a
break off point of say 12 or less(13 or more) or 5. Chairman Breeze asked if
we needed or could we adjust the existing subdivision regulations.
3. Report on Building Official - City Manager Griffin explained that
we have not had a building official; therefore, the last 6 weeks have not been
entirely devoted to planning.
B. CITY PLANNER
1. Land Use Study - City Planner Wagner submitted a land use map to the
Zoning Board. He stated this was the first land use map done to this extent
for the City of Ocoee. It is the basic planning tool as you have to know where
you are before you know where you are going. He and Intern Hommersom drove
all over the City and saw every parcel in the City of Ocoee. Mr. Hommersom is
doing the statistical work up. The progress is slow on the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan due to the development going on within the City and the lack of a
Building Official. Planner Wagner reported that they met with Orange County
today reference a reserve area. Chairman Breeze stated that we ultimately
need to know a definite service area. Mr. Wagner said we hope to eventually
reach the point where our plan and their plan is compatible. Mr. Linebarier
asked how receptive the County was to our suggestions. City Manager Griffin
stated that the County had been congenial, helpful and candid and this was
the second face to face meeting with them. Chairman Breeze stated that we
could and should square off our boundaries and eliminate islands.
