WORKSHOP HELD September 20, 1994
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Vandergrift called the workshop to discuss permitting the use of signs on weekends
to order at 6:00 p.m. in the commission chambers.
PRESENT: Mayor Vandergrift, Commissioners Combs, Foster, Gleason and Johnson.
Also present were City Manager Shapiro, City Attorney Rosenthal,
Administrative Services Director Beamer, Planning Director Wagner, Building
Official Flippen and City Clerk Grafton.
ABSENT: None
City Manager Shapiro said that the issue was whether to amend the City Sign Ordinance to
permit directional signs and/or stake signs on the weekends for the benefit of builders and
realtors during the time which traditionally was used by citizens to shop for property.
Mr. Cliff Wilson, Mercedes Homes, asked for a positive response to this matter as they
had been unable to get people into their location until they put up directional signs. He said
that their sales went from 0 to 35 the first time signs were used. He assured Commission
that if permission were granted they would take the signs down before Monday mornings and
would contact other agencies and encourage them to do likewise.
Mr. John Resnik pointed out that if such signs are permitted for builders and realtors they
must also be permitted for yard sales.
Ms. Lou Armesto, General Partner, Crown Homes Inc., said she is a member of a task
force regarding signs, that they would do self-policing, that they had no problem paying fees
for the permits (and/or fines for violations), and suggested a bonding system. She said she
has collected city, county and state ordinances statewide and they are divided according to
need.
Ms. Frankie Kind said she wants to have signs for open house and asked that realtors not be
lumped in with Home Builders Association signs.
Mr. Ken Oslinger asked Commission to be open minded about the use of signs.
Mr. Shapiro asked Ms. Armesto for copies of the ordinances she has collected for staff
review along with names and addresses of people to contact.
Commissioner Gleason said he supports the concept of permitting signs on weekends since
Commission has the right to re-write the ordinance if it does not work out.
Commissioner Combs said he has reservations but would not stop the continuation of the

looking at both private and public properties and will submit recommendations.

recommendation that a motion made by Mr. Shapiro was not included in the recommendation
as presented and that Condition Number 8 should be set forth as follows:
"(8) That Wofford Road be improved by the Church from State Road 50 to the
Church entrance prior to issuance of an occupational license for the child care facility
and that such improvement be as a stabilized road adequate to support fire truck access
to the Church property, with the qualification that the City determines that it has
jurisdiction over this portion of the roadway and can approve any improvements thereto."
(Revisions underlined)
Mr. Rosenthal recommended also that Condition Number 5 should be revised to include ..."or
such other religious organization as may subsequently own the subject property." In addition,
Mr. Rosenthal recommended the following Findings of Fact:
1. No special exception has been previously granted by the City to use the property
as a school or as a child care facility.
2. No occupational license has been issued by the City for use of the property as a
school or as a child care facility.
3. Use of the property as a church is permitted without a special exception because
the property was used as a church at the time of annexation in 1974 and has been
continuously used as a church.
4. In October 1989, the County advised the City that it would no longer maintain
Wofford Road between SR 50 and Story Road.
5. In order to protect the health, safety and welfare of persons attending the school
and/or child care center, certain improvements to Wofford Road are required.
The specific improvement required is a stabilized road adequate to support fire
truck access to the property.
6. The property is suitable for up to a maximum of 61 teachers and students, subject
to upgraded fire safety improvements necessary in order to meet current Code
requirements.
The public hearing was opened. Mr. Frank McMillan, representing the Conference of Seventh
Day Adventist Churches, apologized for not getting the special exception when the property was
first brought into the City, and said that the Church has no objections to Conditions 1 through
7. He expressed agreement with the modifications to Number 5 as recommended by Counsel.
Mr. McMillan submitted for the record a letter dated July 17, 1990 from the City of Ocoee
Public Works Director to the City of Winter Garden saying that the cities shared responsibility
for maintenance of Wofford Road and another letter dated July 24, 1990 from Janet Resnik, City
of Ocoee, indicating the City had assumed the responsibility of maintaining the road. He asked
that Commission approve continuation of the school of at least 25 staff/students and asked for
the improvements to be necessary when they reach 61 in number.

STAFF REPORT
DATE : September 15 , 1994
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: Russ Wagner, Director of Planning ]
SUBJ: Special Exception Application
Winter Garden Seventh-Day Adventist Church
Case No . 1-4SE-94
ISSUE :
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve
a Special Exception for the Winter Garden Seventh-Day Adventist
Church to operate a school and child care facility in an R-2 , One-
Family and Two-Family Zoning District?
BACKGROUND :
The Winter Garden Seventh-Day Adventist Church intends to continue
operating an existing private school and begin operation of a
public child care center at its existing facility on Wofford Road.
The Ocoee Land Development Code only permits such uses by Special
Exception within R-2 , R-3 , C-1, C-2 , C-3 and I-1 zoning districts .
This tract is currently zoned R-1AA, Single Family Dwelling
District; however, the accompanying rezoning petition (Case No .
R94-07-02) if approved, will permit this Special Exception to be
considered in a manner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
DISCUSSION:
The Winter Garden Seventh-Day Adventist Church facility was annexed
into the City in 1974 . Due to the fact that the church was annexed
without the requirement of a Special Exception, it is
"grandfathered" as a permitted use . In 1983 , the church began
operation of a private school which was never permitted by a
Special Exception as called out by the zoning ordinance of that
time . Consequently, the application incorporates this existing use
to make it legally permitted. The child care center is an
additional use which the church intends to add to help support its
ministry.
Staff Report - Case No. 1-4SE-94
September 15 , 1994
Page 2
Access to the facility is via Wofford Road, a clay street which
extends from S .R. 50 to Story Road. Being in close proximity to
S .R. 50 and neighboring businesses in the area, the child care
center would be located to permit working parents to drop children
off on the way to work and pick them up on the way home.
Consequently, the use would likely benefit from pass-by traffic and
generate few additional trips on that roadway; however, additional
trips on Wofford Road could be a maintenance and safety problem
with the addition of significant daily traffic.
Staff has inspected the premises and found them to be suitable for
up to a maximum of 61 teachers and students at a maximum occupancy
load of 20 s . f . per individual . Also, some upgraded fire safety
improvements will be necessary in order to meet Code, and utilities
should be checked to ensure they are capable of handling increased
daily loading.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
At their meeting of August 24, 1994, the Planning and Zoning
Commission had a split vote (2-2) on the Staff Recommendation, as
modified by proposed amendments to item #8 . The P&Z Commission
chose not to take any further action on the Special Exception
Application, and therefore, no formal recommendation has been
forwarded to the City Commission. The P&Z did want to indicate,
for the record, that the membership had no problem with items 1
through 7 of the Staff Recommendation, but that item 8 was
unresolvable . In general, the P&Z could not agree on appropriate
language for item #8 , but it was their belief that the applicant
should not bear the entire burden of the cost for any required
improvements on Wofford Road.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon DRC approval at a meeting held August 9, 1994, staff
respectfully recommends that the Winter Garden Seventh-Day
Adventist Church Application for a Special Exception to operate a
school and child care facility be approved subject to the following
conditions :
1) That R-2 zoning be granted;
Staff Report - Case No. 1-4SE-94
September 15 , 1994
Page 3
2) That all required fire code safety items per the Fire
Department be corrected prior to issuance of an Occupational
License for the child care center;
3) That the total number of teachers and students utilizing the
facility as a school and/or child care center be limited to a
maximum of 61 individuals;
4) That a Final Certificate of Concurrency be secured prior to
issuance of an Occupational License;
5) That the school and child care center be operated by the
church and not a private organization;
6) That the school and child care center be licensed to meet
appropriate state requirements;
7) That the potable water well and septic tank system be
certified by Orange County for the approved building capacity
and use; and
8) That Wofford Road be improved from S .R. 50 to the church
entrance prior to issuance of an occupational license for the
child care facility, with the qualification that the City
determines that it has jurisdiction over this portion of the
roadway and can approve any improvements thereto .

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
of the City of Ocoee
FROM: Paul E. Rosenthal, Esq. , City Attorney �
DATE: September 20, 1994
RE: Special Exception Application
Seventh Day Adventist Church
Case No. 1-4SE-94
(I. ) LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE:
Attached hereto is a copy of Section 4-8 (B) of the Land
Development Code which sets forth the Standards for Action by the
City Commission when considering a special exception.
(II. ) CLARIFICATION OF DRC RECOMMENDATION:
In connection with the public hearing on the above-referenced
matter, please find enclosed the following documents:
(1) Transcript of Development Review Committee Meeting of
August 9, 1994 regarding the above-referenced
application.
(2) Copy of correspondence dated October 11, 1994 from
William J. Masi, Manager - Orange County Erfgineering
Department, to Mayor Thomas R. Ison regarding Wofford
Road.
You have previously been provided with a Staff Report from Russ
Wagner, Director of Planning, dated September 15, 1994 regarding
the above-referenced matter. Consideration of the special
exception application is quasi-judicial in nature. As a result, it
is necessary that the evidence which may potentially form a basis
The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
of the City of Ocoee
September 20, 1994
Page 2
for your decision be entered into the record of the proceeding. It
respectfully is recommended that the Mayor enter the foregoing
documents into the record of the proceeding.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Staff Report, a question has
arisen regarding the "improvements" required in Condition Number 8
of the Staff Recommendation. I have reviewed the above-referenced
DRC Transcript regarding this matter. In my opinion, the Staff
Report reflects the initial motion made by Mr. Wagner, but does not
reflect the final action recommended by the DRC. It is my opinion
that the Development Review Committee recommended the following as
Condition Number 8 in lieu of the text set forth in the Staff
Report:
" (8) That Wofford Road be improved by the Church
from State Road 50 to the Church entrance prior to
issuance of an occupational license for the child care
facility and that such improvement be as a stabilized
road adequate to support fire truck access to the Church
property, with the qualification that the City determines
that it has jurisdiction over this portion of the roadway
and can approve any improvements thereto" . (Revisions
underlined)
(See DRC Transcript pages 10, 14, 15 and 23 . ) . Assuming that the
City Commission is presented with competent substantial evidence to
support Condition Number 8, it is my recommendation that any motion
include the revised text of Condition Number 8 in order to be
consistent with the DRC recommendation.
As indicated above, the DRC recommendation regarding the
improvement to Wofford Road is conditioned upon a determination
that the City has jurisdiction over Wofford Road and can approve
any improvements thereto. The October 11, 1989 letter from Mr.
Masi indicates that the County has discontinued maintenance, but
does not specifically address the subject of jurisdiction and
authorization to approve road improvements. The DRC transcript
indicates that the City has in the past maintained the subject
portion of Wofford Road. Based upon Condition Number 8 as
recommended by the DRC, it would be necessary for the City to
obtain a letter from the County to the effect that the City "has
jurisdiction over this portion of the roadway and can approve any
improvements thereto" . In the event such a letter cannot be
obtained, then, in my opinion, the DRC recommendation would allow
for the Church property to be used pursuant to the special
exception without improvements being made to Wofford Road. If such
a letter can be obtained, then Wofford Road would need to be
The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
of the City of Ocoee
September 20, 1994
Page 3
improved (with appropriate City approvals) prior to issuance of an
occupational license for the child care facility.
Finally, it is my understanding that the Winter Garden Seventh
Day Adventist Church intends to sell the property to another church
upon approval of the special exception. Normally, special
exceptions run with the land and may be utilized by subsequent
purchasers. However, in this case, Condition Number 5 indicates
that the facility must be "operated by the Church" . I believe that
the intent of the DRC was to allow operation by any religious
organization which may subsequently own the property. In order to
protect the rights of subsequent purchasers and avoid the need for
future action by the City Commission, it is my recommendation that
if the City Commission finds competent substantial evidence to
support Condition Number 5 as set forth in the Staff Report, then
any motion to approve the special exception clarify such condition
with the following restatement:
" (5) That the school and child care center be
operated by the Church or such other religious
organization as may subsequently own the subiect property
and not a private organization; " (Revisions underlined)
The recommended revisions to Conditions Numbers 5 and 8 as set
forth in the Staff Report are intended to clarify and be consistent
with the Development Review Committee recommendations and are not
intended to express any opinion by the City Attorney on the
substantive content of the recommendations or whether there is
competent substantial evidence to support such recommendations.
(III. ) FINDINGS OF FACT:
Section 4-8 (A) (3) of the Land Development Code requires that
any action taken by the City Commission be accompanied by findings
of the City Commission upon which the action was based. If the
City Commission finds that there is competent substantial evidence
to support the Staff Recommendation, then the Commission may wish
to consider adopting the Recommended Findings of Fact attached
hereto. Again, these are not recommendations of the City Attorney
and are intended only to provide the necessary information for the
City Commission to approve the DRC recommendation.

to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Code. Such conditions may limit
the uses, size of uses or structure, or characteristics of the operation of a use, or
may require buffers, landscaping, or other improvements not normally required.
Conditions may also require the periodic review of the use and may provide for the
expiration of the special exception on a date certain.
B. Standards for Action by the City Commission
Approval of a special exception application shall be granted by the City Commission only
upon finding that
(1) The proposed uses and structures would not violate the land uses, densities, or
other directives of the adopted Comprehensive Plan or of this Code.
(2) The proposed uses and structures would be compatible with the uses, structures
and activities on adjacent and nearby lands.
Adopted July 21, 1992 18092
ARTICLE IV
(3) The proposed uses and structures would not violate the health, safety, welfare,
and/or convenience of those residing,working or owning land in the vicinity of the

. regulations except as specifically authorized, nor shall the use or structure
result in overcrowding of land or buildings;
(b) The use or structure would not impair pedestrian or vehicular movement
in adjoining streets so as to violate adopted level of service standards;
(c) The use or structure would not create a fire hazard;

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. No special exception has been previously granted by the City
to use the property as a school or as a child care facility.
2 . No occupational license has been issued by the City for use of
the property as a school or as a child care facility.
3 . Use of the property as a church is permitted without a special
exception because the property was used as a church at the
time of annexation in 1974 and has been continuously used as
a church.
4 . In October 1989, the County advised the City that it would no
longer maintain Wofford Road between SR 50 and Story Road.
5. In order to protect the health, safety and welfare of persons
attending the school and/or child care center, certain
improvements to Wofford Road are required. The specific
improvement required is a stabilized road adequate to support
fire truck access to the property.
6. The property is suitable for up to a maximum of 61 teachers
and students, subject to upgraded fire safety improvements
necessary in order to meet current Code requirements.

RE: Wofford Road maintenance
Dear Marshall :
Pursuant to our telephone conversation this morning regarding
the above subject matter , I have attached a letter dated
October 11, 1989 from Orange County to Mayor Tom Ison . Due
to the recent annexations by your city and ours, it appears
that our cities collectively are responsible to maintain
Wofford Road (clay road) from W. B . McGee Highway (SR 50)
to Story Road, effective October 31, 1989 .
The City of Ocoee has the responsibility for the portion of
the road from SR 50, extending northerly approximately 1,400
linear feet . The remaining portion of this roadway , as I
understand it , is the responsibility of Winter Garden. Con-
cerns regarding the maintenance of this road have surfaced
from Pastor Floyd Powell .
It would be greatly appreciated if you would place this road-
way on your regular maintenance schedule , whereas our cities,
collectively, can keep the roadway properly maintained.
Should you disagree with the contents of this letter or have
any questions regarding the above subject , please feel free
to contact me .
Sincerely,
Ra mond M. Brenner
Public Works Director

present.

present were City Manager Shapiro, City Attorney Rosenthal, Administrative
Services Beamer, Finance Manager Horton, Personnel Director Psaledakis,
Acting Police Chief Wilson, and City Clerk Grafton.
ABSENT: None
Mayor Vandergrift announced that this is an advertised public hearing to finalize the budget
and adopt a final millage rate for the City of Ocoee. The City Commission has previously
approved a tentative millage rate of 4.0 mills which represents a 2.59% increase in millage over
the rolled-back rate of 3.899 mills.
Briefing by City Manager on the percentage increase in millage over the rolled-back rate
necessary to fund the budget and the specific purpose for which ad valorem tax revenues
are being increased.
City Manager Shapiro announced that the increase was caused by an increase in the cost of
health insurance and a new $100,000 fuel system was required by EPA. Administrative
Services Director Beamer added that the $100,000 in reserve for the new computer system and
the reconstruction of the youth center were also included in this year's budget.
Comments by Citizens.
Mr. R.P. Mohnacky, 1820 Prairie Lake Boulevard, asked the following questions. The staff
responses are underscored.
Page 1-4: What does commensurate mean? In proportion to.
Page 3-12: What is a buyer and do we need one? Not a new employee,just transferred
from Administrative Services Department.
Page 3-35: What is Personal Services? Administrative personnel - not laborers.
Page 3-38: What is the $100,000? Fuel system referred to earlier.
Page 3-42: Why the great increase in facilities maintenance? Operating expenses have
changed with new facility_
Page 3-46: What is the increase in law enforcement for? School crossing guards are now
funded by the City rather than the County.
City Manager Shapiro explained that the proposed income from the mall had not been included
in this budget, but that it could be added mid-year if the plans progress that fast.
Comments by Commissioners.
There were no comments at this time.

September 21, 1994
Motions by Commissioners for amendments to the adopted tentative budget.
There were no proposed amendments to the adopted tentative budget.

Mayor Vandergrift and Staff discussed interpretation of the TRIM Bill and whether holding the

Comments by Citizens.
There were no comments from the public at this time.
Comments by Commissioners.
Commissioner Gleason commented that the $2 or $3 per year savings per household by going
to the rolled-back rate would not be worth the weakening to the budget, as the proposed budget
