RE: Wesmere Property
Final Subdivision Plan
Project # LS-2004-020
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Final Subdivision Plan for the
Wesmere Property?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Wesmere Property site is located on the east side of Maguire Road, north of Cross Creek
subdivision and south of the Florida Turnpike. The subject property comprises multiple tracts totaling
100.23 acres. The property is zoned Multiple-Family Dwelling (R-3) and General Commercial (C-3) and
is designated as High Density Residential and Commercial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Lot 3
of the Wesmere Property Final Subdivision Plan is proposed to be fee-simple town homes and will be
considered by the City Commission separately.
The site is undeveloped and covered with pine trees. To the north of the subject property is the Florida
Turnpike with associated right-of-way. To the west is Maguire Road with associated right-of-way. On
the west side of Maguire Road is the Brookstone residential subdivision, zoned R-1A and designated as
Low Density Residential on the FLUM. Also to the west is the Wesmere at Ocoee residential
subdivision, zoned R-1AAA and designated as Low Density Residential on the FLUM. South of the
subject property is Cross Creek, a residential subdivision, zoned Low Density PUD and designated as
Low Density Residential on the FLUM. To the east of the subject property is the Florida Turnpike with
associated right-of-way and properties located within unincorporated Orange County.
The Wesmere Property Final Subdivision Plan is proposed to be developed with three (3) lots and nine
(9) tracts. Lot 1 is proposed to be commercial and contains 14.10 acres; Lot 2 is proposed as a future
elementary school site and contains 13.50 acres; and Lot 3 is proposed as residential townhomes
(Villages of Wesmere) and contains 49.41 acres. The nine tracts include a lift station, a master wet
detention pond covering 16.99 acres, buffers and future right-of-way for the extension of Tomyn
Boulevard east of Maguire Road. Access into the subject site will be provided from the east side of
Maguire Road and the north and south side of the Tomyn Boulevard extension.
Because this property, aside from Lot 1, is vested from concurrency, a traffic study was submitted by the
applicant analyzing only operational improvements. Improvements identified were a northbound right
turn lane on Maguire Road at Tomyn Boulevard and turn-lane improvements to the intersection of
Maguire Road and Tomyn Boulevard including mast arm installation to add a traffic signal for west
bound traffic on Tomyn Boulevard. Ten (10) feet will be conveyed to the City at the time of platting to
accommodate the right turn/deceleration lane by the Wesmere Property master developer. In addition,
the proposed extension of Tomyn Boulevard will be constructed prior to or concurrent with the
townhome development (Lot 3) by the Wesmere Property master developer. At the time of site plan
submittal for Lot 1, an additional traffic study will need to be submitted to identify any improvements
necessary to offset the impacts of the commercial development, both from a concurrency standpoint as
well as operational issues.
The above ground wires, supplied by Progress Energy, located along the entire Wesmere property
frontage (north and south sides of Tomyn Boulevard) are proposed to be placed underground during the
development of the project.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) met on February 6, 2006 and reviewed the Final
Subdivision Plan. Staff discussed with the applicant a few outstanding comments from the Planning
Division, the Engineering Department and the City Attorney. The DRC voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the Final Subdivision Plan, subject to the developer making changes to the
plans based on staff comments prior to the City Commission meeting.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On February 14, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the proposed Final Subdivision
Plan for the Wesmere Property. The City Staff and the Applicant of the project answered questions
regarding why the sidewalk was reduced from eight feet to six feet along the southern side of Tomyn
Boulevard. Staff and the applicant explained to the Commission that the reason for the reduced widths
of the sidewalk on the southern side is to accommodate an over-flow lane for school traffic and that this
decision was based on safety issues occurring at other schools from cars stacking up along the side of
the road. It was further stated by staff that the smaller sidewalk would be safer for the children because
they would not be as close to the road.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Wesmere
Property Final Subdivision Plan, as date stamped received by the City on January 27, 2006, subject to
the developer making changes to the plans based upon staff comments prior to the City Commission
meeting.
Post Plannino and Zonino Commission meetino update:
The applicant has revised the plans based on the outstanding comments raised by staff at the
Development Review Committee Meeting. However, there are a few outstanding comments remaining
that have not been resolved by the applicant which will need to be addressed prior to construction.
These outstanding comments are attached to the staff report.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendation of the DRC and the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff respectfully
recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Final Subdivision Plan for the
Wesmere Property, as date stamped received by the City on February 22, 2006, subject to the applicant
revising the plan to address all outstanding comments from the Engineering Department prior to the start
of construction.

Wesmere Property -Master Develop.ent - Final Subdivision Plan
Large Scale Site Plan - 5th Staff Review
Engineering Department Comments
February 23, 2006
The following are the results of your fifth submittal for the above referenced project. If you have
any questions pertaining to the requested information, please contact our office.
1. (Repeat Comment) In the March 2004 Preliminary Subsurface Soil and Groundwater Level
Investigation prepared by Y ovaish Engineering Sciences(YES), Inc., the section referring
to the Normal Seasonal High Groundwater Levels states the following: "In consideration of
the significant amount of regarding anticipated together with the planned retention areas
and the drainage wells to be abandoned, we recommend that the groundwater levels be
further evaluated once development plans and preliminary site grading plans are available".
Please provide documentation from YES, Inc. stating the groundwater levels have been
further evaluated and what the normal seasonal high groundwater level is. The City of
Ocoee reserves the right to make further comments on the stormwater system as well as site
grading once this information is obtained. (Modified) This comment was first presented in
the second FSP submittal comments dated October 2005.
The design team has stated that this information would be provided. Staff only received
additional information after contacting the designers in reviewing this submittal. The letter
from Y ovaish Engineering Sciences, Inc. dated February 15th 2006, states "for preliminary
planning purposes, we envision that borings and piezometers will be performed along all
internal right-of-ways and at approximately 250 to 300 feet on center. Each boring location
and elevation will be determined by the project surveyor. Thereafter, we will prepare
groundwater level maps and refine the seasonal groundwater levels, as may be required."
The letter also states "Due to the elimination of the groundwater wells we plan to perform
additional evaluations for the seasonal high groundwater levels at the time of construction
and when the site has been cleared and mass graded." The City takes exception with the
time frame as stated in YES, Inc.' s additional letter and will require all investigation to be
completed after the site is cleared and before any of the construction begins. It appears that
the geotechnical engineer has conserns about the seasonal high groundwater table and if
this were to change after the geotechnical investigation has been completed it could
substantially change the project design.
2. (Repeat Comment) Change the note on sheet PP-2 to indicate manholes from MH#8 to lift
station are to be wrapped with Wrapid Seal Encapsulation System or similar product not
with filter fabric. (Modified) The note was changed in the profile, however, the note in the
plan view still references wrapping with filter fabric.

3. The plans indicate the proposed forcemain along Maguire Road connection on the south
side of the drive. As previously discussed, the 8" force main should be tied into the existing
forcemain where it crosses Maguire Road at the existing valve location.
4. (Repeat Comment) Add a note to the Irrigation Plans stating that all irrigation pipes,
fittings, heads, etc will be purple in color. (Modified) As discussed in the DRC add the
following: The first 12" of the riser from the ground up will be purple and the remainder of
the riser will be black.
