RE:
Pond H3 Retrofit, Twin Lake Woods
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and the Board of City Commissioners approve $10,000.00 from
the Stormwater Contingency Funds for the purchase of material to retrofit Pond H3 in Twin Lake
Woods to improve the maintenance of the Pond; and authorize Public Works staff to perform the
work using City equipment?
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Pond H3 is located on Marlene Drive in Twin Lake Woods, east of Adair Street and south of
Nicole Boulevard. It should be noted that the construction drawings for this 37-lot sub-division
was approved as "Twin Lake Forest Addition" in the early 1990's and the subject pond was
identified as Pond # 100.
This stormwater pond is under the ownership of the local HOA, which is responsible for
maintenance of the Pond.
Pond H3 as designed and constructed is a "V" shape pond with steep side slopes and depths
exceeding 10' from top of the bank. There is more than a foot of standing water in the pond at
all times. These characteristics make normal maintenance of the pond extremely difficult with
conventional equipment resulting in poor maintenance. Additionally, the standing water is
indicative of the failed underdrain system, which was incorporated, in the original design of the
pond.
A review of original SJWMD (St. Johns River Water Management District) drainage permit and
calculations revealed that the pond was oversized in volume requirements. This finding
provided an opportunity to raise the bottom of the pond substantially and reduce the slopes of
the bank to 5:1 or better for ease of maintenance. This retrofit will not affect the existing
incoming drainage structures into the pond, will result in a "dry-bottom" condition, and will allow
abandonment of the existing underdrain system.
Pond H3. Twin Lake Woods,
Page 2
City of Ocoee, on be-half of the homeowners applied and has received a permit from SJRWMD
to retrofit the pond. The retrofitted pond will satisfy the volume criteria while substantially
improve the maintenance requirements. The cost of this retrofit is estimated at $10,000 for
material with City Public Works staff performing the work using City equipment. The
homeowners have agreed to provide the required maintenance after completion of the retrofit
subject to regular inspections by the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully requests the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve $10,000.00 from
the Stormwater Contingency Funds for purchase of material; and authorize Public Works staff to
perform the required work using City equipment.
