Approval of Utility Easement with SprintCom, Inc., for the Maintenance and
3.
Installation of Underground Facilities on a City Parcel located at 843 Marshall
Farms Road. (City Engineer Wheeler)
Back in December of 1993, the then property owners of the parcel of land located at 843 Marshall
Farms Road granted a Perpetual Easement for Egress and Ingress to then owners of the parcel located
at 835 Marshall Farms Road. The easement was a 12 foot wide easement located along the northern
boundary of the parcel at 843 Marshall Farms Road. The parcel at 843 Marshall Farms Road is now
owned by the City and is to be used for a retention pond for the construction of the widening of
Maguire Road from Mercantile Court to Geneva/Story Road. The parcel at 835 Marshall Farms Road
is owned by Dobson Holding LLC, and the parcel has been further subdivided to allow for a
SprintCom cell tower. Both Dobson and SprintCom have been using the easement to access their
property.
Approximately three years ago, the City received a permit application to modify the cell tower and to
replace from underground facilities from the cell tower to Marshall Farms Road. Staff reviewed the
permit application and numerous other documents to determine that no utility easement existed over
the parcel at 843 Marshall Farms Road. SprintCom had assumed that the utility easement granted by
the previous owners of the lot at 835 Marshall Farms Road also provided for a utility easement over
the parcel now owned by the City. After a few years of research and discussions by City staff and
SprintCom, it was determined that a utility easement did not exist. However, there are underground
conduits already existing in the Perpetual Easement for Egress and Ingress. By providing a Utility
Easement to SprintCom, Inc. this will clean up an issue that has probably existed since SprintCom
first built the cell tower on the 835 Marshall Farms Road property in 2002.

the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement incorporates the final agreed upon
Conditions of Approval for the Ocoee Pines PUD.
Approval of the First Amendment to the Development Agreement Westyn Bay
5.
Commercial Planned Unit Development (PUD). (City Planner Rumer)
On October 7, 2014, the City Commission reviewed and approved the Westyn Bay Commercial PUD
and corresponding Land Use Plan for subject property. On September 15, 2015, the Preliminary/Final
Subdivision Plan for Westyn Bay Commercial PUD was approved by the City Commission, as
presented. Accordingly, the Development Agreement is required to be amended in order to be
consistent with the Approved Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan. As a result, the First Amendment to
the Development Agreement incorporates the final agreed upon off-site improvements (Section 5) for
the Westyn Bay Commercial PUD.
Approval of Cost-Share Grant from St. Johns River Water Management
6.
District for Replacement of 500 Meters with Upgrade to AMI and AquaHawk
Alerting. (Utilities Director Smith)
®
The Utilities Department began to utilize the Sensus FlexNetcommunication system in 2010 after
Commission approved its use, the first tower was installed, and the system was implemented. Water
®
meters that are connected to the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) which FlexNet provides
can be read at the touch of a button. The AMI also enables the City to access nearly real-time usage
data from the meters connected to it. As of the commencement of this Staff Report, approximately
6,500 of the 14,000 water meters in Ocoee are connected to the AMI.
Currently, the City has three (3) types of meters in the ground. The original touch read meters, which
must be read manually, one at a time. Radio read meters require a field technician to drive by them
with a handheld computer which receives the data. Finally, “smart” meters, those connected to the
®
FlexNet AMI, are continually read. The Utilities Department’s goal is to connect all water meters to
®
the FlexNet AMI. For many meters, this requires replacement. Each year as the Department
®
launches its regular meter replacement schedule, those meters are replaced with Sensus iPerl meters,

which have the capability to be connected to the FlexNet® AMI. This infrastructure also facilitates
customers to utilize the AquaHawk customer portal.
The City of Ocoee has been awarded a matching Cost-Share Agreement from St. Johns River Water
Management District (SJRWMD), with funding support from the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP), with a grant in the not-to-exceed amount of$55,735.00, for the
replacement of 500 meters with upgrade to AMI with AquaHawk Alerting capability. The
neighborhoods designated for these meters include Coventry, Hidden Glen, Lakewood Manor,
Richfield,and Silver Bend.
7. Approval of Settlement Agreement for Past Due Development Review Fees.
(City Attorney Cookson)
In conjunction with the City's review of project SS-2008-005 for Shoppes at the Village, owner,
Gustavo M. Romer, President, Romerca International, Inc. (Romerca), incurred development review
fees in the amount of$4,693.65. The fees remain outstanding and, as part of the City's collection
efforts, on September 29, 2015, the City Attorney's office sent a letter to Romerca requesting
payment. Romerca responded to the City Attorney's letter by requesting he pay fees on a monthly
basis until paid in full. Romerca and the City Attorney's office ultimately agreed to present a
settlement agreement to the City Commission to allow Romerca to pay $200.00 per month for 23
months and$93.65 as the final payment in month 24. If approved,the first payment is due on January
2,2016.
G. PUBLIC HEARING
8. Capital Improvements Element — Amendment Addition of the Fiscal Years
2015/2016 — 2019/2020 Capital Improvements Program. (Advertised in the Orlando
Sentinel on Sunday, December 3, 2015). (City Planner Rumer)
The Capital Improvement Element(CIE) of the City of Ocoee Comprehensive Plan is a requirement
of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (FS) and enables implementation of the Plan goals, objectives, and
policies needing capital funding for a 5-20 year planning horizon. Each year, the table section of the
CIE will be updated to ensure that the adopted list of capital projects in the CIE matches the City's
newly adopted fiscal year budget and approved five-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The
CIE does not propose any new projects not previously reviewed and approved by the Commission.
The Florida Legislature enacted legislation allowing adoption of the annual amendment to the CIE to
be accomplished with a single public adoption hearing. Additionally, State Statute no longer requires
a copy of the Ordinance to be transmitted to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity(FKA:
Department of Community Affairs"DCA"). Therefore, adoption of this Ordinance is final in its form
and content.
