MINUTES OF THE OCOEE BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING HELD
JUNE 18, 1991
The regular meeting of the Ocoee Board of City Commissioners was called
to order by Mayor Pro Tem Johnson at 7:30 p.m. in the commission chambers.
Commissioner Woodson led in the prayer and pledge of allegiance. The roll
was called and a quorum declared present.
PRESENT: Mayor Pro Tem Johnson, Commissioners Foster and Woodson. Also
present were City Manager Shapiro, City Attorney Rosenthal, City
Engineer/Utilities Director Shira, Planning Director Behrens, Director of
Administrative Services Beamer, Building Official Flippen, and City Clerk
Grafton.
ABSENT: Mayor Dabbs (out of town) and Commissioner Combs (ill)
PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS
Mrs. Mary Anne Swickerath, representing the Citizen Recognition Committee,
spoke briefly, but in glowing terms, about the scholastic accomplishments
of the two valedictorians of West Orange High School, Deron Berwager and
Thornton Eastham. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson presented each of the young men
a plaque for outstanding scholastic achievement.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson read a Proclamation in support of the Florida
Freedom Festival July 4.
Recreation Director Jim Beech presented a plaque to the City of Ocoee for
backing the Big Orange Games for physically impaired students.
CONSENT AGENDA
The proposed consent agenda consists of items A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
City Attorney Rosenthal pulled item E. Approval and Authorization to
Execute amendment to DeveloperAgreement with Silver Ark Limitedt_ Inc._
(Clark Road) until the next meeting, saying that there may be additional
right-of-way needed. Commissioner Woodson asked that item C be explained
as he had observed that the deck was in place already and granting an
easement after the fact did not appear to be the proper order. City
Manager Shapiro explained that the concrete deck had been placed over the
easement and that the City has required that it be replaced with a wooden
deck in order to provide a more reasonable access when/if needed by
utility crews. City Engineer Shira explained that there were a half-dozen
easements behind the building and the original plat showed two distinct
easements located on the plat. When the building was actually constructed
the location of the lines did not fall within the easements and so they
have been required to resurvey.

SECOND READINGS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS OF ORDINANCES
Ordinance No. 91-15, Case No. 1-4AR-91:Grimes, "annexing into the
corporate limits of the City of Ocoee, Florida, certain real property
located 230' north of the northwest corner of Maguire and Roberson Roads,
as petitioned by the property owners; providing for and authorizing the
updating of official City maps; providing direction to the City Clerk;
providing for severability; providing for an effective date." was
presented by title only for the second reading and public hearing. City
Planning Director Behrens explained that this is a correction to the
annexation and rezoning cycle last November that includes three-quarters
of an acre of land that had been inadvertantly left out of a legal
description. Mr. Mark Grimes distributed diagrams showing the site plan
to Commission. The public hearing was opened and, no one wishing to speak,
was closed. Commissioner Woodson, seconded by Commissioner Foster, moved
to enact Ordinance No. 91-15 annexing the property described in Case No.
1-4AR-91:Grimes. On roll call Commissioner Foster voted "aye,"
Commissioner Woodson "aye," and Mayor Pro Tem Johnson "aye." Motion
carried.
Ordinance No. 91-16, Case No. 1-4AR-91:Grimes, "changing the zoning
classification from Orange County A-1, Agricultural to P-S, Professional
Offices and Services District on certain real property located 230' north
of the northwest corner of Maguire and Roberson Roads as petitioned by the
property owners; providing for and authorizing the revision of the
Official City Zoning Map; repealing inconsistent ordinances; providing
severability; providing an effective date." was presented by title only
for the second reading and public hearing. Mr. Mark Grimes explained that
the developer plans to construct five two-story office buildings at this
location. The public hearing was opened and, no one wishing to speak, was
closed. Commissioner Foster, seconded by Commissioner Woodson, moved to
enact Ordinance No. 91-16 rezoning to P-S, Professional Offices and
Services District, the property described in Case No. 1-4AR-91:Grimes. On
roll call Commissioner Foster voted "aye," Commissioner Woodson "aye," and
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson "aye." Motion carried.
Ordinance No. 91-17, Case No. 1-4AR-91:Grimes "relating to confinement of

the Code of Ordinances of the City; adopting a new Section 4-31 of Article
III of Chapter 4 of the Code of Ordinances which prohibits fowl within
the City; providing for a caretaker for certain animals in confined area;
Page 3
Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting
June 18, 1991
providing for special permits; providing for severability; providing an
effective date." was presented by title only for the second reading and
public hearing. City Manager Shapiro pointed out that in order to avoid
conflicting rules an amendment should be made to this ordinance as
presented as there is an existing ordinance permitting the keeping of fowl
in A-i and A-2 zoning. The public hearing was opened. Mr. R.P. Mohnacky,
1820 Prairie Lake Boulevard, asked for further clarification and Mr.
Shapiro explained the need for this Ordinance. Mr. Grover Voss, 6648
Christina Marie Drive, Orlando, spoke in favor of the Ordinance. The
public hearing was closed. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson, seconded by Commissioner
Foster, moved to amend the proposed Ordinance No. 91-17 by inserting into
Section 4-31 (a) the phrase Except as expressly authorized in A-1 and A-
2 zoning districts_ before "no person shall keep upon any property located
within the City any chickens, turkeys or other fowl." Motion carried with
unanimous vote in favor. Commissioner Woodson, seconded by Commissioner
Foster, moved to enact Ordinance No. 91-17 as amended. On roll call
Commissioner Foster voted "aye," Commissioner Woodson "aye," and Mayor Pro
Tem Johnson "aye." Motion carried.
OTHER BUSINESS
Resolution No. 91-11, "authorizing the City of Ocoee to become a member
of the Cooperative Agency of Municipal Planning; authorizing execution of
that certain City of Apopka/Ocoee/Winter Garden/Windermere Joint
Planning/Reserve Area Agreement; providing for severability; providing for
an effective date." was presented by title only. City Manager Shapiro
explained that this agreement provides that these cities mutually agree
that where the planning of a particular area affects a neighboring city,
that city will have an opportunity to talk about it. And also in areas of
mutual planning concern the cities will all get together to work it out.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked for comments from the public and Mr. Mohnacky
asked for more explanation. City Planning Director Behrens explained that
the Comprehensive Plan laws call for communication between government
entities regarding planning and this document provides a vehicle for that
communication. There were no further questions/comments from the audience.
Commissioner Foster, seconded by Commissioner Woodson, moved to adopt
Resolution No. 91-11, the C.A.M.P. Agreement. Motion carried with
unanimous vote in favor.
First Reading of Ordinance - Second Reading and Public Hearing is

Ordinance No. 91-19, "repealing Ordinance Number 89-47 which established
a Fire Impact Fee; enacting a new Fire Impact Fee; adopting a fee
schedule; providing for time of payment; providing definitions; providing
for an annual review; providing for credits; providing for exemptions;
providing for vested rights determintation; providing for a trust fund;
providing for a penalty; providing for severability; providing an
effective date." was presented by title for the first reading. Mayor Pro
Tem Johnson announced that the second reading and public hearing will be

Replacement for John Linebarier - Resignation from P & Z Commission and
Code Enforcement Board effective July 1, 1991
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson pulled this item from the agenda and asked that it
be brought back before Commission on July 16, 1991. Commissioner Woodson
requested that a letter of appreciation for Mr. Linebarier's fifteen years
of service on the boards be sent.
Clark Road Update - Presentation by PEC
City Engineer Shira said that the estimate for the total construction cost
of Clark Road was made last year with no experience and that it appears
that the cost will be 10% less than anticipated. After
distributing charts showing comparison of estimated engineering,
construction, and right-of-way acquisition costs between the Engineering
Report dated August 1990 and the Latest Cost Estimate dated May 1991, Mr.
Bob Campbell, PEC, reported that the construction plans for Sections A,
B, and C are being reviewed, that the three plans will be merged into one
plan and ready to advertise for bids by June 28. The driveway, drainage
connection, stormwater, and other permits are being reviewed by the
appropriate agencies and are on schedule. Mr. Campbell went over the
schedule for advertising and noted that the bid opening will be July 22.
In reviewing the total anticipated cost for the project, Mr. Campbell said
that the right-of-way acquisitions appear to be coming in at considerably
less than estimated, causing the total cost of the project to be reduced
by $680,000. City Attorney Rosenthal said that most of the appraisals are
in on the rights-of-way, that there are several offers pending, and the
actual total right-of-way cost may not be as high as estimated. The July
16 date for the consideration of eminent domain resolutions may be pushed
into August because the appraisals have been late coming in, but this will
not adversely affect the time schedule.
STAFF REPORTS
City Attorney Rosenthal advised that Maguire Road Corporation is suing and
asked that Commissioners give the papers to City Clerk when they are
served.

MINUTES OF THE JOINT WORKSHOP OF THE CITY COMMISSION
AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
HELD ON TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1991 ,;„ r=

CALL TO ORDER: 5:40 p.m.
PRESENT: Mayor Pro Tem Johnson; City Commissioners Foster and
Woodson; Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Sims;
Planning and Zoning Commission members Swickerath, Weeks,
Switzer, Linebarier, and Bond; City Manager Shapiro; City
Attorney Paul Rosenthal; Administrative Services Director
Beamer, Director of Planning Behrens, Consultant Jim
LaRue, Consultant York Phillips, Ken Hooper of
Professional Engineering Consultants, City Clerk Grafton,
and Deputy Clerk Resnik.
ABSENT: Mayor Dabbs and City Commissioner Vern Combs; Planning
and Zoning Commission Vice Chairman Shiver; and Planning
and Zoning Commission alternate members Carroll and
Rhodus.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked for a roll call of both the City
Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Those in
attendance included City Commissioners Foster and Woodson and
Planning and Zoning Commission members Linebarier, Switzer, Bond,
Weeks, Swickerath, and Sims.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson then turned the meeting over to
Administrative Services Director Beamer who explained that the
workshop had been called in order for staff and the various
consultants who have been working on the Comprehensive Plan, to
bring the Boards up to date on the status of the Plan and to get
input as to how to proceed on certain issues.
Administrative Services Director Beamer explained that the "ORC"
Report contained the Objections, Recommendations, and Comments from
the State on the City's Comprehensive Plan that was submitted to
the State for review back in December.
Director of Planning Behrens reminded both Boards that the City had
several hearings last fall and formally approved the Comprehensive
Plan and forwarded it to the State on December 28. Director
Behrens said the City received a 57-page report (ORC Report) back
from the State and that staff and the consultants were now in the
process of reviewing that report and formulating responses. He
said the City will again have to hold hearings and formally adopt
the Comp Plan with changes before it is resubmitted to the State.

Joint Workshop (City Commission/Planning and Zoning Commission)
June 18, 1991
Administrative Services Director Beamer said staff and the
consultants wanted to hear from both the City Commission and the
Local Planning Agency (Planning and Zoning Commission) to get a
consensus on several issues before they meet with the State to make
sure they are headed in the right direction insofar as answering
the concerns addressed in the report. Director Beamer said the
City will then go through hearings again and adopt the Plan and
then the State will either find it in compliance or not in
compliance.
City Attorney Rosenthal explained that this was a Workshop and not
a public hearing. He said the City Commission would hold a public
hearing to formally vote on changes to the Plan in the near future
and that this meeting was to get a general consensus from the City
Commission and Local Planning Agency.
Director of Planning Behrens said staff felt that the State's
response (ORC Report) was mild and that the City should not have
any major problems complying with what was in the ORC Report.
Administrative Services Director Beamer said staff and the
consultants had outlined the major areas of concern for the Boards
to review. She said none of the proposed responses would change
the direction of the Plan but that they would add some wording.
Director Beamer said staff wanted to make sure they were following
in the direction that the City Commission and Local Planning Agency
wanted.
Administrative Services Director Beamer said one of the State's
comments was that the City did not integrate funding with the needs
expressed in the Capital Improvements Element. She said in
response to the funding comments, the City has updated the Police
Impact Fee and is currently working on updating the Fire,
Recreation, and Road Impact Fees. She said a stormwater utility
fee would also be charged beginning in October and that staff would
be presenting this to the City Commission for a proposed October
implementation. Director Beamer also said the City was looking
towards developing an Interim Services Fee to be charged to
property owners before the improved land is actually taxed. She
said with all these items in place the State should feel confident
that Ocoee's Plan is financially feasible.
Administrative Services Director Beamer said the City had also
contracted with Professional Engineering Services to provide a
computer generated Land Use Map rather than hand-coloring a map as
staff has had to do in the past. She said this way copies of the
map could be generated as needed and it more clearly delineated the
L
ORA FT
Ned

June 18, 1991
land uses. Director Beamer said this way too, the map could be
printed out so that overlays would show not only future land use,
but existing land use, water and sewer lines, and so on.
Administrative Services Director Beamer said there were only a few
changes made to the Future Land Use Map that was submitted to the
State back in December versus the one that was being shown to the
Boards tonight. She said the property at the northeast corner of
Bluford Avenue and Silver Star Road was changed from a residential
to a commercial designation since it now was the site of a
convenience store. Director Beamer said the new map also shows
wetlands areas since this was something the State had requested.
Lastly, Director Beamer said some of the more major intersections
within the City, including the intersection of Clark and Silver
Star Roads, would be highlighted to show that the City would be
adopting a new policy whereby intensity of uses would be
considered. Director of Planning Behrens then read the proposed
wording for that new policy which said that the Land Development
Regulations shall include standards to regulate the uses of
property where there would be an increased automobile flow as a
result. Director Behrens said this would include such uses as
gasoline stations, convenience stores with gasoline sales, fast
food establishments with drive-through facilities, and so on. He
said the regulations would include specific provisions for the
number of these types of facilities allowed at such an intersection
as well as buffering requirements and limitations on access points.
Director Behrens said staff had developed this policy in an effort
to prevent all four corners of an intersection from being developed
with gasoline stations or fast food establishments where the
traffic problems created would be overwhelming.
Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked what would happen to the southeast
corner which is currently in the County. Director of Planning
Behrens said it is currently zoned for multi-family in the County
so that would not allow for any of the uses that he was alluding
to. City Attorney Rosenthal said that the property owner would
most likely have to annex into the City to be able to get services
(utilities, etc. ) and then the City would be able to have the
control to enforce the policy.
Administrative Services Director Beamer said that all other changes
to the map were done to clarify boundaries. She said that the map
represents future land use projected for the next 20 years.
Administrative Services Director Beamer talked about the Traffic
Circulation Element first. She said the main problem was that the
State has Ocoee classified as an "urban" versus an "urbanized"
area. Director of Planning Behrens said the difference between an
URA Fat
Page 4
Joint Workshop (City Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission)
June 18, 1991
"urbanized" area (the Orlando area, for example) and an "urban"
area is that the State mandates different Level of Service
criteria. In this case, a Level of Service "D" can be used by the
Orlando area for roads but Ocoee, being an "urban" area, has to use
a Level of Service "C". Director Behrens said the City is in the
process of trying to rectify this but that the process to change
the designation takes about six (6) months to one year. Director
Behrens said the City is making application for the change in
designation to the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council.
Planning and Zoning Commission member Linebarier asked why the City
would want to get a designation that would allow for a lower Level
of Service. Director of Planning Behrens said with a Level of
Service "D" the City would not have to be so concerned with having
to go to a moratorium since State Road 50 is already at a Level of
Service "C" and may reach a Level "D" even without the City doing
any additional building along the roadway since the designation
takes into extent the impact that other communities' growth has on
the roadway as well. Director Behrens said with the Level of
Service "D", the City has a better chance to approve some growth
along that roadway and not have to suffer the consequences of
having to go to a moratorium because of the impact that the growth
of nearby communities has on the roadway going through Ocoee.
Ken Hooper of Professional Engineering Consultants (PEC) also said
the City would be in a position to get more funding from the State
with the "urbanized" designation. He said the City could use the
money to do needed intersection improvements, access roads, etc.
Mr. Hooper said the reason it would be favorable for the City to go
to a Level of Service "D" is because that is truly what it should
be for Ocoee but neither the State nor the County has ever gone
through the process to change the designation. He said a lower
Level of Service would also make the State look for more
alternative routes for the traffic which would benefit the City.
Lastly, Mr. Hooper said it would solve the problem of the City not
having to go to a moratorium right away.
Administrative Services Director Beamer said the City will be both
meeting the "urban" standards in filing the Comprehensive Plan with
the State and applying for the "urbanized" classification. She
said the City has two years to get reclassified without having to
worry about moratoriums, etc. She also reminded the Boards that
Level of Service "D" had been submitted originally.
Administrative Services Director Beamer then asked Consultant Jim
LaRue to discuss the issue of Buffer Zones. Mr. LaRue said buffers
were required to protect residential areas that were adjacent to
non-residential areas. The State commented that Ocoee's Comp Plan
.1 RAFT
Sact to Boni,:
Page 5
Joint Workshop (City Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission)
June 18, 1991
did not address buffers specifically enough. Mr. LaRue said the
City in response had devised buffers according to the intensity of
use next to the residential in question. He said the City already
has some buffers spelled out in the Land Development Regulations
(PUD ordinance, subdivision ordinance) but devised these additional
buffers to satisfy the State requirements.
Administrative Services Director Beamer said the final area she
wanted to cover was Infrastructure. Director Beamer said many of
the comments from the State pointed out that the Plan had some
inconsistencies that were technical in nature.
Ken Hooper said that the first area, Drainage, was the most
difficult to set the Level of Service for. Mr. Hooper said the
City does not currently have a Master Drainage Plan to work from
and therefore, can not establish Levels of Service at this time.
He said the staff recommends adopting the State standard until the
City can complete the stormwater study; then in six months to a
year from now the City will be able to adopt more specific Levels
of Service. Mr. Hooper said by adopting the State standards, the
City can at least satisfy the comment made by the State.
Mr. Hooper then addressed the issue of septic tanks. He said the
State said the City should try to regulate septic tanks to keep
them away from any wetland areas and water bodies and make sure
they are not installed below the 100 year flood elevation. Mr.
Hooper said the City also would use the State standards for this
issue as set by the Health Department to satisfy the State's
comments. He said by using the State standards, it takes the
burden off of the City and places it on the State.
Consultant York Phillips then discussed the Open Space and
Recreation issues. Mr. Phillips said the State has said there
needs to be a minimum of five (5) percent of open space in each
development. He said this is a relatively low figure and that many
of the City's current regulations far surpass this requirement but
that staff and the consultants did not want to put a larger figure
in the Comp Plan, especially considering it would address not only
subdivisions but also small commercial projects.
Mr. Phillips also said staff recommended that in the definition of
"Open Space", the City take out the sentence that said it did not
include space on the individual lots. He said it is easier to be
more specific or enact more stringent requirements in the Land
Development Regulations than to try to incorporate everything in
the Comp Plan.

Administrative Services Director Beamer said there was one last
item, Right-of-Way Requirements, that staff felt could be lowered
to 130 feet rather than the 150 feet. She said if the City needed
to negotiate on the lower figure, it could go from there but that
staff and the consultants felt that 130 feet would be more than
adequate for anything the City would require.
Administrative Services Director Beamer asked if either the City
Commissioners or the Local Planning Agency members had any
questions, comments, or concerns on any of the issues they had
heard about tonight. Planning and Zoning Commission member
Swickerath asked if the right-of-way figures included building
setbacks and staff and the consultants said they do not.
Commission member Swickerath asked how they anticipated handling a
situation where the City would need to widen a roadway and the
widening would result in needing more right-of-way and therefore
reducing existing front yards along that roadway. He wanted to
know how the City's response to the right-of-way issue would
address this particular problem. City Attorney Rosenthal said the
current City Code addresses roadway widths. Ken Hooper said the
standards for the various classifications of roadways will stay
pretty much the same as they are now. Administrative Services
Director Beamer said the level of specificity in the Comp Plan
should really only be the minimum that the State requires and that
it is easier to elaborate on these minimums in the Land Development
Regulations than having to do Comp Plan Amendments which can only
be done two times a year.
City Commissioner Woodson said he noticed that a lot of the Plan's
timeframes had changed from five (5) years to one (1) year for
implementation and he wanted to make sure the City was not
overextending itself. Director of Planning Behrens said that the
timeframes were all to satisfy State requirements and that these
timeframes would not cause the City any problems.
Administrative Services Director Beamer said staff was looking for
direction from both Boards as to whether they should proceed along
the lines as they have recommended tonight or whether the Boards
would like to make any changes to these recommendations. City
Attorney Rosenthal reminded the Boards that because this was a
Workshop, no formal action could be taken. He suggested that the
Board members speak up if they had a problem with any of the issues
and recommendations discussed tonight and if not, then staff could
proceed with the recommendations that they had outlined.
Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Sims asked what other
cities' Comp Plans included as far as buffer zones were concerned
and Jim LaRue said that most municipalities have been going with
DRAFT
„ ,t to Bo r-
Page 7
Joint Workshop (City Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission)
June 18, 1991
the minimums set by the State. He said the Department of Community
Affairs had seen this used a lot and for that reason it was a safe
way of ensuring compliance or at least a point from which to start
with when the City meets with the State to discuss this issue.
Planning and Zoning Commission member Linebarier questioned the
five (5) percent Open Space standard as a minimum from which the
City would negotiate with the State if it had to. When asked for
an opinion on this issue, all of the Planning and Zoning members
with the exception of Mr. Linebarier said they would recommend the
5 percent as a starting point from which to negotiate if need be
with the State. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson and Commission members
Foster and Woodson also agreed with staff's recommendation of 5
percent. Planning and Zoning Commission member Linebarier said he
was worried it would be reduced in later years if allowed to start
out at that figure.
There being no further comments on any of the items discussed, the
meeting was adjourned.
