RECESS 7:35 -7:47 p.m. ITEMS PULLED FROM CONSENT AGENDA: A. Approval and Acceptance of the Minutes of the City Commission Ref!ular Meetin!! of September 2. 2003, and Take Home Vehicle Workshop of AUf!ust 25. 2003. (City Clerk Grafton) Commissioner Johnson said the motion in the September 2 Minutes on Mr. Doss's item needed to be explained and possibly reworded as it was not what Mr. Doss thought happened. City Attorney Rosenthal said, "This relates to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2003-28 which rezoned Mr. Doss's property to I-I zoning. There was discussion at the meeting regarding a Development Agreement and right-of-way dedication requirements in that Agreement. The City Commission did not adopt the Development Agreement after hearing Mr. Doss's objection. The rezoning ordinance signed by the City Commission does not reference a Development Agreement, does not reference any right- of-way dedication, so the legal action signed by the City simply deals with the zoning/rezoning issue and nothing else. During the course of the discussions, I think the comment I made to the Commission and probably the language I suggested you tack on that you said OK to was that it wasn't appropriate, as Mr. Doss had indicated, to deal with right-of-way issues in conjunction with a zoning ordinance when there is no site plan before the City. However, at a future date, when a site plan comes in, just as any site plan anywhere in the City, right-of-way and lots of other issues are issues which are addressed by the City Staff and/or City Commission at that particular point in time, so I recommended to you that it would be helpful, in the record, to make sure that the fact that you did not adopt the Development Agreement didn't mean that you were in some way prohibited, when a site plan came in, from addressing the right-of-way issue if needed. It does not mean that there will or will not be any right-of-way requirement and there is certainly no requirement, you know, for any kind of dedication. That's what the language "without prejudice to the right of the City to require the dedication of additional right-of-way at the time of development of parcel A and prior to issuance of any building permits" simply restated what is your legal right, which is to address that issue at the time of site plan and make an appropriate decision in accordance with the law. Today, there is no basis to say yes or no to that issue, because there is no site plan with respect to the development of the property before you." Page 3 of 12 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting September 16,2003 Mayor Vandergrift, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved to reconsider the motion. City Attorney Rosenthal suggested, because the ordinance has been passed and signed, instead of striking the motion in the minutes, a better course of action would be to (in this meeting) make a motion to strike the phrase "without prejudice to the right of the City to require the dedication of additional right-of-way at the time of development of Parcel A and prior to the issuance of any building permits." That way at this meeting it would reflect that you are striking it from the record, but it would still technically remain in the record because that was the motion passed. Mavor Vander!!rift. seconded bv Commissioner Johnson. moved to direct that the ohrase "without oreiudice to the rilrht of the Citv to reauire the dedication of additional ril:!:ht-of-wav at the time of develooment of Parcel A and orior to the issuance of anv buildinl:!: oermits" be stricken from the motion adootinl:!: Ordinance No. 2003-28. Motion carried 5-0. (Clerk's note: As there was no motion made to approve item A - Minutes of City Commission Regular Meeting of September 2, 2003, and Take Home Vehicle Workshop of August 25, 2003, this item will be placed on the October 7, 2003, agenda.) B. Approval and Authorization for Mayor and City Clerk to Execute Purchase Af!reement with Health Central (Express Care) for Old Winter Garden Road Widening Project. (Assistant City Attorney Doty) As part of the Old Winter Garden Road Widening Project, the City needs to acquire a 6,986 sq. ft. parcel ofland from Health Central, as owner of the Express Care facility located at the southeast comer of Maguire Road and Professional Parkway. Assistant City Attorney Doty directed attention to the revised Purchase Agreement attached to a letter from Richard Irwin, President/CEO of HealthCentral, dated September 12,2003. She said HealthCentral has objected to two of the provisions in the Agreement, as (1) they would like to see the Agreement bind the City to the 100% construction plan and (2) they would like to have the City guarantee the ExpressCare emergency vehicles full access to the property during the entire construction of the property. She said, although it was not possible to honor HealthCentral's safety requests, they have been addressed to the extent possible and she recommended approval of the Agreement as presented. Commissioner Anderson. seconded bv Commissioner Johnson. moved to aoorove the Purchase Al:!:reement with HealthCentral as oresented and authorize the Mavor and Citv Clerk to execute. Motion carried 5-0. PUBLIC HEARINGS Ocoee Crown Point PUD - (Community Development Director Wagner and City Attorney Rosenthal) Ordinance No. 2003-34. Adoptine; Ocoee Crown Point PUD Land Use Plan. This Ordinance adopts the Ocoee Crown Point PUD and Land Use Plan. Page 4 of 12 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting September 16, 2003 City Attorney Rosenthal read the title only of the Ordinance. Community Development Director Wagner gave the staff report and reviewed the presentation from the September 2 meeting. Commissioner Anderson asked about the attachments mentioned in the staff report but not included in his packet. Mr. Wagner said for the record there were some attachments (that were on the website) and the recommendation of staff for approval was to approve subject to the correction of those items on the plan. He said the memorandum from Assistant City Attorney Cookson distributed just before the meeting included some conditions of approval that the staff recommendation for approval covers as well. The public hearing was opened and, as no one wished to speak, was closed. Commissioner Parker. seconded bv Commissioner Johnson. moved to adont Ordinance No. 2003-34 as recommended bv Staff. Motion carried 5-0. Approval of Declaration of Conditions of Approval for Ocoee Crown Point PUD. (Not a Public Hearing) Authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Declaration regarding the Conditions of Approval. City Attorney Rosenthal said typically the Code requires that there be a Developer Agreement for a PUD, but since the City is the developer and cannot enter into an agreement with itself, the Declaration of Conditions of Approval will accomplish the intent of the Code and will be recorded and have the same effect as an agreement. He said also for the record the legal descriptions in the agenda packet will be revised slightly to reflect correct ownership, as there have been some conveyances between the City and the School Board since the last meeting. Commissioner Anderson. seconded bv Commissioner Parker. moved to anDfove the Declarations of Conditions of AnDfoval for Ocoee Crown Point PUD with the correct leQal descrintions and authorize execution thereofbv the Mavor and Citv Clerk. Motion carried 5-0. Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Ocoee Crown Point PUD. Approves the PSP for the entire Ocoee Crown Point PUD. Community Development Director Wagner said the same recommendation made for the PUD (with the same corrections made in that recommendation) applies to this item. Commissioner Anderson said Mayor Vandergrift had asked for underground utilities in the past and he wanted to be sure that included the utility pedestals as well. Mr. Wagner said although underground utilities were a part of the ordinance, the pedestals were not. Mr. Rosenthal pointed out the City does not have governmental authority to impose design standards, but that could be a part of the marketing process if Commission wished to direct staff to work toward that end. Without obiection, staffwas so directed; however, Commissioner Parker asked for a report on the additional cost to the homeowner before she made a decision. The public hearing was opened. Page 5 of 12 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting September 16,2003 Mike Lucas, 1847 Rachels Ridge Loop, asked several questions regarding the development, to which Mr. Wagner responded. As no one else wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Anderson. seconded bv Commissioner Parker. moved to aODfove the Preliminarv Subdivision Plan for Ocoee Crown Point PUD subject to the correction of those items listed in the staff reoort and on the olano including the memorandum from Assistant Citv Attornev Cookson distributed just before the meeting. Motion carried 5-0. Final Subdivision Plan - Phase I Infrastructure for Ocoee Crown Point PUD. (Not a Public Hearing) Approves the Phase I infrastructure (roads and ponds) for the Ocoee Crown Point PUD. Community Development Director Wagner said this first phase of the final engineering plans includes the building of the roadway and trunk utility lines to basically support the high school as well as extend them to the point that the residential land can be opened up for sale to private developers who will then put in all their own infrastructure. This was the subject ofthe Interlocal Agreement whereby the School Board will pay approximately 25% of the cost of the infrastructure, which is estimated to be $3.3M. He said the staff recommendation includes some additional items, which need to be added to the Plan. Commissioner Anderson. seconded bv Commissioner Parker moved to aoorove Final Subdivision Plan - Phase I Infrastructure for Ocoee Crown Point PUD subject to the addition of the items referenced in the staff reoort. Motion carried 5-0. Richard Doss - (Principal Planner James) (Public Hearing Continuedfrom September 2,2003) Ordinance No. 2003-29 - Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Parcel B City Attorney Rosenthal noted this is a continuation of the public hearing opened September 2, and Mayor Vandergrift reopened the public hearing. Principal Planner James gave the staff report and said, based on the Planning and Zoning recommendation to deny, staff recommended denial of Ordinance No. 2003-29. Discussion ensued, during which Mr. Doss said his concern was access to his property, and he had a letter from City Manager Gleason stating the City would provide a stabilized road to his property. The public hearing was closed.

(Staffreportsfrom Whit Blanton and Citv Attornev Rosenthal) City Attorney Rosenthal read the title only of Ordinance No. 2003-38. Community Development Director Wagner gave the background and said the Commission had engaged Renaissance Planning Group (RPG) to assist staff in evaluating this proposal due to its scale and also to work with the City Attorney and the Developers through the review process. He said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation was to deny the request and staff concurred with this recommendation. Whit Blanton, RPG, gave the staff report and displayed a map on the overhead showing the location ofthe property. He responded to questions from the Commission during his report. City Attorney Rosenthal directed attention to Mr. Blanton's written report and staff recommendation and the City Attorney memorandum dated September 9, 2003. Mayor Vandergrift asked that the TV cameras show the displays and the 3D model prepared by the Faraway Farms team. Julie Kendig-Schrader, with Greenberg Traurig, directed attention to a notebook distributed to the Commission containing the documentation included in their presentation to help them keep within the time limits and then introduced their team: Paul Roeker, Tracy Crowe, Connie Owens, Dr. Andy Davis, Turgut Dirvish, Ayman Saidi, Stan Gerberer, and Carla Baker. Carla Baker gave the presentation for the Faraway Farms team, displaying on the overhead and responding to questions from the Commission. The public hearing was opened. Page 7 of 12 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting September 16,2003 Kevin Keller, 1727 Crown Point Woods Circle, speaking for the residents in Crown Point Woods, spoke against the request and asked for denial. Louise Pitts, 1780 Crown Point Woods Circle, also spoke against the request, and directed attention to a letter, which she asked Mr. Keller to read, regarding the possible intrusion of arsenic into the aquifer. Dr. Davis responded to the issue of arsenic, and said many tests had been made and there was no arsenic leaching into the groundwater. He described tests that had been made to assure this was so. Ken Parsons, 1302 Log Landing, also spoke against the request and listed details of his search regarding Chevron on the web. The public hearing was closed. Tracy Crowe listed the names of typical users of property like this, discussed the traffic analysis, and asked to be allowed to transmit to DCA. Mr. Wagner stated for the record that staff has never seen the information distributed at this meeting by the Faraway Farms team and that staff had focused on land use - not questions regarding arsenic. Following extended discussion during which the team responded to questions, Commissioner Howell. seconded bv Commissioner Johnson. moved to SUDDort the Plannim! and ZoninlI Commission recommendation to denv Ordinance No. 2003-29 until after the studies are in.
