Section 10, Road Impact Fees states, liThe Developer is obligated to construct certain improvements to Blackwood Avenue in order to mitigate traffic impacts of the commercial and multi-family portions of the Property. The Developer has agreed to .commence construction of the Blackwood Avenue improvements at the time of development of the single-family portion of the Property. In consideration for the acceleration of construction of the Blackwood Avenue improvements and provided that the improvements to Blackwood Avenue as set forth in the Land Use Plan are commenced with the commencement of construction of the subdivision infrastructure for the first to develop of Tract "A" or Tract liB" on the Land Use Plan and completed within one (1) year of commencement, the Developer shall be entitled to receive City of Ocoee road impact fee credits in the amount of $150,000.00 upon issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Blackwood Avenue improvements. The Developer, Ocoee Commons, LLC, applied for their building permits prior to having completed the road improvements, and on May 17, 2005 paid Road Impact Fees of $235,315.41 to the City, which was $150,000.00 more than the $85,315.41 which they would have owed had they been able to apply for their credits at that time. On September 21, 2004 the Developer commenced construction, and on August 10, 2006, the City issued the Certificate of Completion, which exceeded the one-year deadline. Ocoee Commons, LLC has requested that the City refund the $150,000.00, in accordance with the Development Agreement. Issue: Should the Mayor and City Commissioners waive one-year deadline for the finishing of the road construction and improvements at Ocoee Commons PUD? Recommendations Staff is in support of waiving the one-year deadline for finishing the road construction at Ocoee Commons PUD, and refunding the $150,000.00 to Ocoee Commons, LLC, due to the cost being far less than had the City contracted the work itself.
