City Manager Frank announced before them is the following:
Emergency Item #1 Arbours at Crown Point Apartments Plat Approval (City Planner
Rumer)
The Arbours at Crown Point Apartments is an apartment complex located on the north side of West Road and west
of SR 429. The lots are identified as parcel numbers 06-22-28-2856-00-013 and 06-22-28-0000-00-083. The overall
parcel is 28.1 acres in size, of which 17.64 is for 240 multi-family units with associated recreation amenities,
stormwater management areas, and public road access. This plat is required in order to dedicate the right-of-way for
newly constructed portions of Fountains West Blvd and to dedicate a twenty-five(25)foot strip of land on the north
side of the Apartments for a future trail connection. This plat also includes an easement for public utility
improvements, namely, a twelve (12) inch reclaimed water main that runs through the property. The Arbours at
Crown Point Apartments is platting prior to receiving a Certificate of Completion; therefore, the developer has
entered into a Two-year Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship Agreement covering the public improvements
that will become the City's after the recording of the plat.
Motion: Move to approve Emergency Item #1, Arbours at Crown Point
Apartments Plat.
Moved by Commissioner Grogan, seconded by Commissioner Wilsen; Motion

Agreement for City Center West Orange Phase 1, by and between CCWO Development Management, LLC,
WSCC Development, LLC,MB II,the City of Ocoee,and the Ocoee CRA, for the development of City Center

October 13, 2016, CBPW acquired the property fee simple from WSCC Development, LLC by a Special
Warranty Deed. By its acquisition of the above referenced parcels, CBPW must undertake all obligations
inuring to WSCC Development, LLC and CCWO Development Management, LLC under the Original

amended Section 4 of the agreement to include a provision allowing the economic incentives to be used by the
City Center West Orange project on all properties associated with the City Center West Orange development
within the Target Area 2. A Second Amendment to Development and Economic Incentive Agreement was
approved and executed at the January 17, 2017, City Commission meeting, which provided for the expiration
dates for groundbreaking to be extended from January 1, 2017 to March 1, 2017, and the site development

The City constructed the Lakeshore Center at its present location and in its current configuration during
2013/2014, with dedication occurring on February 6, 2014. The current effective capacity for banquet-style
seating is 225 persons. Based on local market demand, the City seeks to expand the banquet capacity to 400+
persons by extending the building to the north. A conceptual plan was developed by the original project
designer, Rhodes + Brito Architects, to explore this potential expansion. The City subsequently retained the
firm to develop the construction plans needed to implement the conceptual plan. In addition, the expansion
project will address existing issues with the building's lighting control and audiovisual systems. The proposed
design effort schedule has a January 25, 2018 milestone date for plan completion. The current design concept
has an enlarged pre-function(lobby)area that also serves as a smaller meeting/banquet facility,plus a separate
accessory storage building of 2,500 SF for storing outdoor event equipment and housing a linen laundry. In
compliance with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act(CCNA), Florida Statutes Section 287.055,et
seq., and Florida Statutes Section 255.103, Construction Management or Program Management Entities, et
seq.,and the policies and procedures of the City of Ocoee(City),the City solicited statements of qualifications
from qualified Construction Manager At Risk firms (CMR) to be responsible for construction administration
and general contracting services resulting in the successful, timely, and economic completion of the City's
Lakeshore Center Expansion Project for the best possible value. The RFQ was advertised on October 8, 2017

10. Approval of a Resolution to Rename a Portion of Windermere Road to Tomyn
Boulevard. (Support Services Director Butler)
Tomyn Boulevard on the west side of Maguire Road south of the Florida Turnpike runs west, and then turns
south as it reaches SR 429 and extends roughly parallel to SR 429 as a continuous segment of pavement to
running to Roberson Road; however, due to historical road alignments, the southern portion of this segment is
known as Windermere Road. The name change occurs approximately 700 feet north of the Roberson Road
intersection, as this is the historical location of the change in alignment and jurisdiction, but there is no
physical element, such as an intersection with another road or a significant change in direction,to clearly mark
the road name change at this location. There is only one structure that will be impacted by the change in name
from Windermere Road to Tomyn Boulevard, which is a communications tower addressed as 775 Windermere
Road in unincorporated Orange County. This facility is located immediately north of the point of name change
and the address was likely assigned prior to the road being bisected by SR 429.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
11. Approval of Code Enforcement Reduction of Fine/Lien for Crawford Tire Service,
Inc:,Regarding 110 Taylor Street. (City Manager Frank)

June 28,2005,the case was heard before the Code Enforcement Board and a compliance date of July 15,2005,
was ordered prior to the fine of$150.00 per day being assessed.The fine has since accrued on a daily basis.No
further action was taken by city staff since 2005, and no further correspondence or contact was made with the
business owner. Staff continued to affirm that the violations continued approximately every four(4)to six(6)
months. On or around July 2017, the City Fire Marshal directed the business owner(Crawford)to correct the
deficiencies noted on the initial code violation citation as a matter of life safety after a small tire fire. Since that
time, Crawford has acted to clean the property of all excess tires and wheels, and the code officer and fire
marshal are in agreement that the property is now in compliance. The total amount of the lien is approximately
$670,000.00 and is related to this one violation from 2005.
