Issue... Duke Energy electric pole... .
Feb.5th. 2019
• Good evening; My name is Socrates Perez, 2412 Johio Bay
Dr. / Lot 7 of Johio Bay Subdivision...23 yrs with this lot; 21
yrs since our family built and move into our custom home.
We enjoy shade, quietness (privacy) and TLC of this
place.... In addition we Serve our HOA in the
Architectural review board, also serve the community as a
Realtor for over 29 yrs.
• In our lot, behind the original property line, there is an
electric pole with air wires that have been on fire
explosion at least twice while we live there. Last time,
transformer tank was replaced to a more modern feature.
... All 6 properties along the property line are affected,
however our lot has the pole, 27 feet west of our east side
boundary and there are also poles within lot10.
• Now that a new property line has been granted to
accommodate the new development; this mentioned
pole is right in the middle of our back yard Not only as
a hazard issue, but also inconvenient, and jeopardizing
the resale value of the property.
• I have brought my concern and came up to the podium,
for the record, since the beginning of talking about
development. The quickest answers I heard originally was
not to worry that underground easement would happen
at some point. On the last hearing, there was no answer
to it, perhaps because the subject was in regards to set
backs for the new homesites.
• Duke energy was contacted and they mentioned a
preliminary quote of over $30k grant to move the poles to
the new property line I still concerned with this
problem not caused by us, and ask for a wise, and logical
solution, instead of being ignored.
• I have also sent a letter in this regard to City Planner in
charge to make him aware and request assistance in the
matter.
• I also want to express my full agreement to ONLY have
one story units built along the new property line south of
Johio Bay. This would help our new privacy issue and
avoid the giraffe effect into our backyards.
• Thank you for your attention.

Dear Mr. Michael W. Rumer, Jr., January 9t°. 2019
Ocoee City Planner
My name is Socrates Perez and I have been a resident in Ocoee for the last 21 years with my
family at 2412 Johio Bay Dr. (Johio Bay Subdivision).
I am taking the opportunity to communicate with you as one of the highest authorities in the city,
with the hope of having your attention, sound judgement, and sensitive ear in regards to finding
better solutions to the 6 homeowners along the south side of our Johio Bay Subdivision affected
with the new adjacent Ocoee Landing subdivision under construction.
As you are aware, the developer from the new subdivision and the Johio Bay Subdivision were
granted a petition of split ownership on the paper road adjacent by 30 feet each side. Since the
first hearing of this venture, I stood at the podium to point out an issue that still remains without a
good answer. The issue is related of the power lines that run behind the previous south property
line of the subdivision.
When I first spoke about it(and previous to approval from the City) the quick and simple response
was that the power company would have this taken care of by means of an underground utility
easement. My lot(marked 7 in Johio Bay) has a light pole with a transformer that will be right in
the middle of my backyard considering the new property line. This pole and transformer are most
definitely dangerous and unwelcome in my backyard. Furthermore, the power company is now
estimating that moving that easement will have an approximated cost of$32,000, according to a
quote from Duke Energy officials
At the most recent hearing regarding setbacks on the lots for the new subdivision I brought the
subject again to the podium, but it seems that no one has a proper answer for the matter.
I am appealing to you, to your position as city planner, and to your sound judgement as a citizen
to put yourself in my shoes. Please consider the implications of an issue that we did not create to
accommodate an investor. The"gift"of additional land in our backyards is becoming a hardship to
our Real Estate investments for the 6 property owners affected. When the time comes to resell
our properties, this issue brings a negative impact to our assets which was not the case when we
purchased our homes.
We need the power lines to be moved underground up to the new property line created by the
project at no cost to us.
Respectfully, I am asking for your assistance and I thank you in advance for your attention in the
matter.
Socrates Perez/Homeowner at Johio Bay.
Lot 7/ 2412 Johio Bay Dr. Ocoee, FL 34761
Walkability & Safety
Assessment
of
Bluford Avenue Streetscape
Walkability & Safety Assessment
•Performed when a project is substantially
complete
•Purpose - to determine if streetscape
elements, including changes that were
made in the field and improvements by
others (i.e., signage and lighting), have
impacted the design, walkability or
public safety of the streetscape
•Bluford Avenue Assessment
o Phase I - Delaware Street to McKey
Street - complete, presenting findings
tonight
o Phase 2 - McKey Street to Silver Star
Road will be completed after lights are
installed
Evaluation Criteria & Remediation
•During the Assessment, the following criteria was used to determine if the
palms/crape myrtles and other streetscape elements (i.e. signs, ramps, signs,
sidewalk) resulted in the following:
1.Loss of pedestrian/bicycle maneuverability at intersections
2.Blocks line-of-sight due to its proximity to handicap ramps, sidewalk intersections,
and/or driveways or location causes a loss of pedestrian maneuverability in areas
other than at intersections
3.Location blocks line-of-sight to regulatory sign and/or pedestrian crossing
4.Reduction in light distribution due to the proximity of palm fronds, trunks, or other
elements being to close to the streetlights
•The Bluford Avenue Streetscape Contractor has agreed to move and warranty
plants that are designated for removal to the northern section of Bluford Avenue
that have not been planted. They will also relocate any sign and pour sidewalk
where plants have been removed.
1. Loss of Maneuverability at Intersections
•Crape myrtle cause a loss of
pedestrian and/or bicycle
maneuverability at
intersections
•Action Recommended
o Remove 7 crape myrtles
between Delaware Street
and McKey Street
o Replace tree planters with
sidewalk
o Do not plant the 8 crape
myrtles between McKey
Street and Silver Star Road
proposed for intersections
2. Loss of Maneuverability & Line-of-Sight Mid-block
•If palm is located less than
10’ from a driveway,
walkway and/or handicap
ramp
•Action Recommended
o Remove and relocate 2
palms
o Replace palm planters with
sidewalk
3. Blocks Line-of-Sight to Signs & Crossings
•Palm is located less than 10’
from a from a sign and/or
blocking the line of sight to
a pedestrian crossing
•Action Recommended
o Remove and relocate 3
palms
o Replace palm planters
with sidewalk
4. Reduction in Light Distribution
•If a streetlight is located
between 2 palms, there needs
to be at least 15’ between
each palm and the light pole
•If a streetlight is only adjacent
to one palm, there needs to
be at least 10’ between the
palm and the light pole
•Action Recommended
o Remove/relocate 7 palms
o Replace palm planters with
sidewalk
Request Commission‘s
Direction to Proceed with
Bluford Avenue
Streetscape Modifications
