Authorization for the execution by the Mayor and City Clerk for the Real Estate Sale
and Purchase Agreement of two (2) parcels of land owned by the Orlando-Orange
County Expressway Authority.
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners execute the Real Estate Sale and Purchase
Agreements for two (2) parcels of land to be acquired from the Orlando-Orange County Expressway
Authority?
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION:
The "Industrial Parcel" (AKA: Parcel 62-105) - The City of Ocoee has petitioned the Orlando-Orange
County Expressway Authority to acquire approximately 2.5 acres of land along SR 429. The purchase
price to be paid for the land is $275,000. The purchase price has been determined by the appraisal
prepared by Pine & Carpenter, Inc. and dated November 4, 2005. The City has requested to purchase
this land in order to facilitate a future roadway that will eventually link Roper Parkway with Bowness
Road. Specifically, the subject property is located on the north side of Roper Parkway and west of
Maguire Road. The property is identified by the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority parcellD
# 62-105.
The purpose of the land acquisition is to implement objectives established in the City of Ocoee
Comprehensive Plan adopted October 1, 2002; particularly, the Roper Parkway extension as it is
identified in the Recommended Roadway Improvements section of the Transportation Element. The
ultimate goal is to provide improved accessibility to the growing industrial and distribution activities in
west Ocoee north of SR 50. The Expressway Authority purposely left this remnant parcel out of the
original Western Expressway construction to permit this parallel roadway extension.
The "Pine Street Parcel" (AKA: Parcel 62-131/132) - The City of Ocoee has also petitioned Orlando-
Orange County Expressway Authority for approximately 13 acres of surplus land along SR 429. The
purchase price to be paid for the land is $390,000. The purchase price has been determined by the
appraisal prepared by Pine & Carpenter, Inc. and dated November 4, 2005. The City was requested to
purchase this land in order to facilitate an environmental educational park that would also function for
wetland restoration and drainage enhancement. Specifically, the subject property is located on the north
side of Pine Street and south of the Crown Point Woods Subdivision. The property is identified by the
Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority parcellD # 62-131/132.
The nature of this request is to create some type of environmental educational park. The property itself
has uplands and wetlands that are associated with the drainage basin for Lake Apopka, which makes
this site a good candidate for a drainage enhancement and wetland restoration project. This
environmental educational park would ultimately feature benches, walkways and informational signage.
To this end, the City has approximately $668,266 available from the St. John Water Management
District (SJWMD) for this wetland mitigation program. Staff has consulted with PEC (Professional
Engineering Consultants, Inc.) and SJWMD staff. All have agreed on the potential of the site for some
sort of wetland restoration/mitigation parkland.
On April 5, 2006, the City has received Real Estate Sale and Purchase Agreements for both parcels of
land from the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority for execution by the City. In order to
complete this acquisition process, the City needs to obtain a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment and
boundary survey using standard City acquisition procedures. The purpose of an Environmental Site
Assessment is to provide a professional opinion regarding the possible presence or prior existence of
hazardous material or hazardous waste contamination of soil or groundwater at the site. Phase 1
Environmental Site Assessments are standard procedures for any commercial land transaction.
Pending a favorable Environmental Site Assessment and surveys that demonstrate there are no matters
shown which would adversely affect the marketability of the property, the City anticipates "Closing" on
both properties in accordance with Expressway Authority Rule 4-1. Funds to purchase these properties
are available from the City's Road Impact Fee Account (the "Industrial Parcel") and from a grant by the
St. John's River Water Management District (the "Pine Street Parcel").
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the Real Estate Sale and Purchase Agreement for both parcels of land owned by the
Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority on behalf of the City, and to authorize staff to complete
the acquisition process. Final form of the Real Estate Sale and Purchase Agreement will be subject to
review and approval by City Staff and City Attorney.
