City Commission on August 16, 2005, approved a 3-month lease agreement, which would provide for insurance coverage and hold the City harmless from any liabilities. The terms of the agreement are for a three- month period in the amount of $2,000 per month (total lease period amount: $6000) and a maximum of 50 busses is allowable. First Class Coach & Equipment, Inc. is requesting that the city enter into another agreement, for an additional three-month period. First Amendment to Tri-Party Easement Agreement with Orange County and 6. City of Winter Garden Regarding West Orange Trail Crossings. (City Attorney Rosenthal) At the time of the purchase of the “Coca-Cola Property” the land was encumbered by a Tri-Party Easement Agreement between Coca-Cola, Orange County and Winter Garden. This Agreement is in place because the West Orange Trail and a Winter Garden underground sewer line bisect the Coca- Cola Property. The Agreement addressed the terms and conditions under which Coca-Cola could cross the Trail and the sewer line. The Agreement does not match the approved Ocoee Crown Point PUD Land Use Plan and needs to be amended in order to allow development which crosses the West Orange Trail as set forth on the Land Use Plan.

(Advertised in Orlando Sentinel Orange Extra on Thursday, November 24, 2005.) Prairie Lake Tract A is located on ‘Tract A’ of the approved Prairie Lake Planned Unit Development (PUD), adjoining Lake Meadow. More specifically, the subject project is located at the northwest intersection of Clarke Road and AD Mims Road. The subject property comprises 44.18 acres and is heavily wooded. It is designated as High Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The Prairie Lake Planned Unit Development (PUD) limits the maximum number of units for Tract A at 385. Staff has determined that the proposed density and type of units are consistent with the approved Prairie Lake PUD Land Use Plan, last modified on September 10, 2003. The Prairie Lake Tract A residential development is proposed to be developed with 213 housing units (87 single family and 126 fee-simple townhome units). Based on the recommendation of the DRC and the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Prairie Lake Tract A, as date stamped received by the City on November 16, 2005, including consideration of the waiver request for the community building and subject to the following conditions: 1) Modification of the radius at each entrance into the project from 50 feet to a safer and more pedestrian-friendly radius of 15 to 25 feet; 2)Increase the sidewalk along AD Mims from 5 feet to 8 feet; and, 3)Tree protection notes to be added to the plan during the Final Subdivision Plan process. OSR RDINANCE ECOND EADINGS Personnel Rules and Regulations Ordinance. (Human Resources Director 8. Carnicella) (Advertised in Orlando Sentinel Orange Extra on Sunday, November 27, 2005.) The Personnel Rules and Regulations are the policies, procedures and entitlements that govern the terms and conditions of employment for those employees covered by the same. These Personnel Rules and Regulations are also known as the PRR’s or Rules and Regulations. The Human Resources Department is responsible to administer the PRR’s for the City Manager. The Ordinance providing for the PRR’s has not been amended since 1999 and the City Manager has requested the Human Resources Director complete the draft revisions of the PRR’s, which was started in 2004. This revision of the PRR’s is a comprehensive edit and includes many new provisions. G. REGULAR AGENDA Ocoee Crown Point PUD RFP # 06-001. (Community Development Director 9. Wagner) The RFP solicits proposals from private developers who will purchase, design, and construct a single- family residential project on the 75-acre tract earmarked for that purpose within the Ocoee Crown Point PUD. The City anticipates that a minimum of 250 residential lots may be developed on the site. The RFP is designed to maximize the return to the City by making the sale based upon the actual number of lots to be developed subject to a minimum purchase price. Staff expects that the sale of this property will, at a minimum pay off all City acquisition costs, professional fees, and infrastructure costs associated with the project up to this point. Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners authorize staff to advertise the attached Request for Proposal for sale of residential land within the Ocoee Crown Point PUD and further direct the City Manager to review all proposals and recommend three or more development teams for final consideration by the City Commission.

A specified Scope of Services was outlined for each of these professional service contracts. The fees associated with this work have been cost shared with the Orange County School Board as a partner in this venture. Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners authorize payments from the Sun Trust Line of Credit to VHB to cover Professional Services already undertaken with regard to Phase I Construction Administration ($18,454.41) and those proposed in connection with the Scope of Services for the Residential Land Sale ($50,000).

The property falls within Part B of the Old Winter Garden Road Widening Project. Orange County is responsible for 100% of the project costs under an Interlocal Agreement. Pursuant to Florida Statutes, the City is responsible for the reasonable expert fees and costs incurred by the Bowers in the eminent domain proceedings. The City Attorney recommends that the City Commission approve the mediated settlement in the amount of $127,500.00, the payment of $23,271.00 in expert fees and costs, and authorize the City Attorney or Assistant City Attorney to execute a final judgment for these amounts.
