Contact Name: David A. Wheeler, P.E. Department Direc Contact Number: (407) 905 -3100, ext. 1504 City Manager: Subject: Intent to Annex for Water Service for Terry and Effie M at 220 11 Avenue (District 1 — Commissioner John Groaan) Background Summary: Mr. and Mrs. Baker own the property which is located at 220 lI Avenue and have approached the City for utility service. The property was platted as a part of the North Ocoee Addition No. 2 subdivision and has one single family residence on the property. The property is currently within unincorporated Orange County and is not contiguous to the City Limits. However the property is inside the City's JPA boundary, Water & Sewer Territorial Boundary, and City Limits. Sanitary sewer service from the City is not available at this time; therefore, this is just an Intent to Annex for water service. There is a 12" water main along the north side of 1 Ith Avenue that could be tapped for the water services to the property. There are no sewer facilities in the area to even consider sanitary sewer service. There is available capacity in the potable water system for this additional residence. The City's requirement about annexation/intent to annex to be able to provide service and the differences between resident service and non - resident service were discussed with the Bakers. The City's fee requirements for an Intent to Annex application approval were provided to Mr. and Mrs. Baker. Upon annexation, the utility rates would reduce to city resident charges. Also, should the property become contiguous to the City Limits and the Bakers or the current property owners decide to not proceed with the annexation of the properties, the City has the right to discontinue service until such time as annexation is completed. The Development Review Committee approved the Intent to Annex for the property located at 220 11 "' Avenue at a meeting held on July 21, 2014. Issue: Approval and execution of the Intent to Annex Agreement with Terry and Effie Mae Baker to provide water service to their property at 220 11 "' Avenue. Recommendations The Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve of this Intent to Annex request for with Terry and Effie Mae Baker to provide water service to their property at 220 11 Avenue and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Intent to Annex Agreement.
