Subject: Ashton Park Ocoee of Ocoee Assumption of Maintenance and •eed
Background Summary:
The Ocoee Commons PUD, including Ashton Park, was platted in 2005. At the time of platting,
several tracts, specifically L4, L5, H2, and J ("Property"), were dedicated to the City of Ocoee or
conveyed to the City along the Montgomery Avenue right-of-way.
To date, the Ashton Park of Ocoee Homeowner's Association ("HOA") has maintained the Property
for the benefit of the residents; however, because it abuts the public right-of-way, the City desires to
assume the obligations and responsibilities of the HOA as to the maintenance of the Property.
Additionally, in researching this issue, the City and HOA discovered that two tracts along the right-
of-way (Tracks H2 and J) were never deeded to the City.
The HOA has provided to the City an executed Assumption of Maintenance Agreement for the
Property and executed a deed to the two tracts (H2 and J) that were never deeded to the City.
Issue:
Should the City Commission accept the Warranty Deed for Tracts H2 and J from the Ashton Park of
Ocoee Homeowner's Association and approve execution of the Assumption of Maintenance
Agreement for Tracts L4, L5, H2, and J?
Recommendations
City Staff recommends that the City Commission accept the Warranty Deed for Tracts H2 and J
from the Ashton Park of Ocoee Homeowner's Association and approve execution of the
Assumption of Maintenance Agreement for Tracts L4, L5, H2, and J.
Attachments:
1. Warranty Deed for Tracts H2 and J
2. Assumption of Maintenance Agreement for Tracts L4, L5, H2, and J
Financial Impact:
The City will assume maintenance of these areas along the Montgomery Avenue right-of-way at
minimal cost to the City.
