Approval and Acceptance of the Regular City Commission Minutes of February 7,2006. (City Clerk Eikenberry) 2. Appointment to the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement Trust Fund Board of Trustees. (City Clerk Eikenberry) Trustees for the Pension Boards serve two-year terms. Two of the trustees are appointed by the City Commission, two are elected from the employee body, and the fifth trustee is chosen by those four trustees and presented to the City Commission for certification of the appointment as a ministerial act. Pension Attorney Lee Dehner has advised that Florida Statutes do not prohibit current City employees from serving as a City Commission appointed Trustee. Due to the resignation of Trustee Strosnider, who is moving out-of- state, there is currently one opening on the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement Trust Fund Board of Trustees. Two applications were recently submitted for the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement Trust Fund Board of Trustees; therefore staff recommends the City Commission consider appointing Charles Brown or Mark Scalzo as Trustee for the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement Trust Fund Board with a term ending September 1,2008.

I F. PUBLIC HEARINGS ORDINANCE SECOND READING 4. Lakewood Estates. (Planning Manager Armstrong and Principal Planner James) (Public Hearing advertised on Thursday, February 9, 2006, Orlando Sentinel Orange Extra). a. Annexation Ordinance. Lakewood Estates is a proposed 15.8-acre affordable housing subdivision located west of the intersection of Wurst Road and Lakewood Avenue. This proposed annexation is a logical extension of the City limits, urban services can be provided, and the annexation meets state and local regulations; therefore, meeting all criteria for annexation as stated in Policy 2.5 of the Future Land Use Element of the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan. b. Rezoning Ordinance/PUD Land Use Plan. Lakewood Estates, a Homes in Partnership, Inc. development is an affordable housing community developed in cooperation with Orange County. It is proposed to be developed with fifty-four (54) residential single-family lots with varying sizes, the typical being sixty (60) feet in width and 120 feet in length. Because the zoning being requested is PUD, specific standards have been requested for the development of the lots that are unique to the property. The lot sizes are similar in size to R-l (minimum lot size of 7,000 square feet), however the widths vary and in some cases are less than the required minimum lot width of70 feet in the R-l zoning district. An Ordinance to rezone the property to PUD based upon the approved Land Use Plan is to be considered by the City Commission simultaneously with the Annexation, Preliminary Subdivision Plan and Development Agreement. c.
