Presentation of the Downtown Amenity Package
Deputy Development Services Director/ CRA Administrator Corless provided a PowerPoint
presentation explaining the selection of the amenity package and how staff developed a system
that compliments the character areas within the Downtown Core and outside the core.
Mayor Johnson inquired if this was an item they would need to vote on. Assistant City
Manager Shadrix advised that staff is looking for consensus because with the schedule and
budget for the Downtown Masterplan Implementation staff will need to start ordering items from
the amenity package. He further said if there are no issues with the design, staff will proceed
with ordering.
Commissioner Wilsen inquired on the bench sizes. Deputy Development Services Director/
CRA Administrator Corless answered that staff has the ability to order both a 6ft. and 8ft.
bench. Depending upon the location they may go with the 8ft. which will also include the center
bar component. She further shared that staff will coordinate where each of the elements will be
placed so that there are safe seating areas.
Commissioner Oliver shared in some Downtown areas where they have these type of amenities
they also have music. He further inquired if the City would be able to have these features.
Deputy Development Services Director/ CRA Administrator Corless answered that is
something that staff can consider as it is not usually part of the element but is an added audio
system installed afterwards. She further shared that audio systems can be quite costly to not only
install but also operate.
Commissioner Grogan shared that in their conventions there have been discussions advising
Cities to install benches with dividers to deter people from laying down and sleeping on them.

Sunbelt Rental is located at 259 Maguire Road, immediately north of the City of Ocoee Public Works
Department. The lot is identified as Parcel Number 19-22-28-0000-00-047. The total area of the parcel
amounts to approximately 28.234 acres. Sunbelt Rental consists of a 12,161 sq. ft. retail rental facility, a 7,800
sq. ft retail rental facility, and a 14,408 sq. ft. contractor service and maintenance shop. Additionally, there is
149,000 sq. ft. of outdoor storage area for equipment rentals. The developer has nearly completed construction
of the infrastructure improvements necessary for Sunbelt Rental and will be requesting a Certificate of
Completion for the overall development. The infrastructure improvements include the sewer, potable water,
reclaimed water systems, the retention pond and swales,the addition of turn lanes on Maguire Road, concrete
and crushed asphalt equipment storage yards, and other improvements under the provisions. Additionally,
Sunbelt Rental constructed a new 10"water main to allow for future, more robust connections of public water
utilities for the businesses on Enterprise Street. All identified punch list repairs are currently being completed,
and the developer will be ready to start the two-year warranty period for the public infrastructure
improvements once the punch list items are inspected. As a requirement of the Land Development Code, the
developer is required to furnish the City a Surety to cover any possible damages discovered during the next
two years, should the developer choose not to make those repairs. MPV SBR Ocoee, LLC has provided the
City with a check in the amount of 10% of the constructed public improvements ($22,193.74). The
Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship Escrow Agreement acts as the executable document between the
developer and the City. The surety will be kept with the signed Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship

period. The Surety will be returned to the developer upon completion of the two-year warranty period and the
repair of any damages caused over that two-year period.

5. Approval of the Mattamy Homes Preserve at Crown Point Public Access Multi-Use
Trail Easement. (Development Engineer Womack)
Mattamy Orlando, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the owner and developer of Ocoee Crown
Point PUD (Preserve at Crown Point Subdivision). Mattamy was required to construct an eight (8) foot wide
public access multi-use trail along the west side of the Preserve at Crown Point Subdivision in the upland area
adjacent to Lake Apopka. Ultimately, this trail will provide a scenic pedestrian connection from the West
Orange Trail to a future City of Ocoee waterfront park on Lake Apopka. The multi-use trail was platted on the
Preserve at Crown Point Phase 2A Plat as Tract PA. Upon completion of the subdivision, a review of the As-
Built drawings revealed that the multi-use trail was not constructed within the platted trail tract,Tract PA. This
discrepancy between the originally planned location of the trail and the As-Built location of the trail was due to
unforeseen grading challenges along the Lake Apopka upland buffer. City Staff has worked with the City
Attorneys and Mattamy Homes to provide an updated public access easement to cover the multi-use trail as
constructed. The easement will create a nonexclusive public access multi-use trail easement over the trail as
constructed. The City will have the right to provide maintenance of the trail; however, the Preserve at Crown
Point Homeowners Association will retain ownership and maintenance responsibilities.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
6. Approval of the City of Ocoee's Banking Services with SunTrust and Piggy-Backing
on the City of Ocala's Contract with SunTrust. (Finance Director Roberts)
The City of Ocoee's contract with SunTrust will expire August 31, 2018. The existing contract was a piggy-
backing relationship based upon Marion County's contract. Marion County's contract has expired; however,
SunTrust has agreed to allow the City to extend our banking services for one year by piggy-backing on the
City of Ocala's newly-extended contract (Contract #FIN 14-005). The City of Ocala's contract provides
several benefits over the Marion County contract. Specifically, the new contract will result in lower treasury
service charges as well as an improved ECR of.75% versus .5% and an interest rate of 1.25% versus .15%.
At the City's current cash levels, this may result in an estimated increase of $71,000 in monthly interest
earnings; $860,000 annually. Further, SunTrust agreed to offer an additional one year renewal option. This
extension of services will allow the City to review and negotiate its relationship with SunTrust or issue and
evaluate a solicitation for banking services in the next fiscal year.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
7. Approval of Reallocation of Capital Funding for Downtown Redevelopment Projects.
(Finance Director Roberts)
The City began an aggressive Downtown Redevelopment/Improvement plan funded by a$25M bond issued in
2017. Costs for the projects underwritten by the bond were based on best available estimates at that time.
However, growth and development throughout Florida has exceeded expectations and driven up the cost of
construction products and services. To meet the challenge of completing the development plan, the project
management team formed a strategy to fund the increased costs. This strategy includes allocating $1,442,000
of Recreation Impact Fees and $2,635,571 of Road Impact Fees to qualifying projects, thereby making
available $3,577,571 of bond funding for reallocation to the new City Hall. Additional funding reallocations
may be required in the future as the projects mature and residual funding is returned to the reserve or
additional funding is required to complete a project. To facilitate the team's ability to timely manage these
Commission approved projects,we request the Commission authorize the City Manager to make any necessary
funding adjustments within the total amount of funding currently or in future allocated to the downtown
projects.

Boards to One Smart Board. (Police Chief Brown)

$10,000.As the purchase of smart boards requires installation and a maintenance agreement,the cost exceeded
our original budget estimate. The Police Department would like reduce the purchase requirement to one smart
board at cost of$9,473.41,which does not exceed the funds allocated for the current budget year.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
9. Approval of a School Resource Officer Agreement with Kid's Community College
Charter School. (Police Chief Brown)
The Florida Legislature has amended Section 1006.12, Florida Statutes, entitled"Safe-School officers at each
public school" to require each District School Board and School District Superintendent to partner with law
enforcement agencies to establish or assign one or more safe-school officers at each school facility within the
district by implementing a security option which best meets the needs of the school district. The Ocoee Police
Department will provide one (1) School Resource Officer to Kid's Community College Charter School which
is located within the city limits of Ocoee. Annual agreements between the City and the Charter School are
required in order for the Police Department to understand its officers' responsibilities and for the City to be
reimbursed by the Charter School's Board of Directors for a portion of the officers' annual salaries. This
agreement is effective from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The agreement was written by the City Attorney.
For School Resource Officer services,the Charter School will be charged a prorated fee based on the 10 month
school year. The City of Ocoee Police Department will request one (1) new officer position be placed in the
2018/2019 budget.

10. Approval of Interlocal Agreement between Orange County and City of Ocoee for
Improvements and the Transfer of the Intersection of Fullers Cross Road and Ocoee- fi
Apopka Road. (Public Works Director Krug)
At the June 5, 2018 meeting, the City Commission approved entering into an Interlocal Agreement with
Orange County for the improvements to the Fullers Cross Road and Ocoee-Apopka Road intersection. The
City and County agree improvements should be made to the intersection and that these improvements are most p
efficiently and expeditiously accomplished if the City and County partner to fund such improvements. The
City agrees to manage the design, bidding, and construction of the improvements. The City and County agree
to split the costs of the improvements 50/50 with the City's share including the value of City property
dedicated for right-of-way. The City will be responsible for maintenance of the intersection following
completion of the project. The existing intersection is a signalized, four-way crossing with rural sections on
both roads. The proposed improvements will be to add left-turn deceleration lanes from the four approaches,
adding southbound and eastbound right-turn deceleration lanes, and the replacement of the existing traffic
signal with a mast arm traffic signal. Development Services and Public Works recommend approval. Upon
City Commission approval, the executed Interlocal Agreement will be sent to Orange County for formal
approval and execution.

west side of S.R 429; and further, it is approximately 29.17 acres of vacant and undeveloped
land. The Applicant, Meritage Homes, proposes to develop the 29.17 acres as a 200 lot
townhome development with a density of 6.89 dwelling units an acre, which exceeds the four (4)
units per acre guidelines for low-density residential. Therefore, there is a petition to amend this
to medium-density residential which allows up to eight (8) units per acre. Access to the site will
be via an extension of Fountains West Boulevard. The West Orange Trail is adjacent on the west,
which is a main selling point for this multifamily development. Further details were provided on
the lot sizes and square footage of the townhomes. The development overlooks the Forest Lake
Golf Course and provides a buffer to S.R. 429. Adjacent to the golf course will be a decorative
fence so those lots along the golf course can be sold as premium lots. There currently are no
sound attenuation walls installed and the city will not be liable to install one which will be stated
in the Development Agreement. This site is located within Orange County's utility service area
and is proposing to connect to Orange County for water and sewer, which Orange County has
indicated they have capacity for this proposed development.

transmit this Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the State of Florida for review. He
announced there is a sign-in sheet for anyone who wishes to speak on any of the amendments for
transmittal this evening.
Commissioner Grogan inquired how this will affect the traffic in that area. City Planner
Rumer shared that as part of the Arbours PUD review they looked at a need to provide a signal.
Subsequently, with the Arbours Apartments approval, it did not trigger a need for a traffic signal.
However, the charter school in that area is due to do a traffic analysis to see if a signal is now
warranted. He further explained with the recent approval of some neighboring developments the
City is looking to put into the Development Agreement a proportionate share for a future signal.
Commissioner Firstner inquired if there has been any interest in annexing the out parcel that is
located near the proposed development. City Planner Rumer shared that the owner of the out
parcel is in attendance this evening and that they also spoke at the Planning and Zoning
Commission. He further shared that it was indicated by the owner of the parcel that upon some
resolution on what can be developed they would be interested in annexing.

August 21,2018
Planner Jones presented a brief overview of this proposed rezoning, which is located on the
west side of South Bluford Avenue and on the south side of West Columbus Street. The subject
parcel is +/- 4.51 acres and currently vacant. The Applicant is rezoning the property in order to
conform to the existing land use designation. The property was historically used as a truck yard
for Florida Rock Industries. The parcel is currently zoned "I-2," which conflicts with the existing
and future land use designation of Light Industrial. The "I-2" zoning designation is intended for
the heavy industrial land use. The City desires to keep heavy industrial away from residential
areas which are located nearby. Therefore, the subject property is being rezoned to "I-1," which
is in line with the existing land use designation.
The public hearing was opened. As no one wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Motion: Move to adopt Ordinance No. 2018-029 Rezoning for Top Gun Cheer —
651 South Bluford Avenue; Project No: RZ-18-05-07; Moved by Commissioner
Wilsen, seconded by Commissioner Grogan; Motion carried unanimously.
