Subject: Founder's Day Diversity
Mr. Mayor and Commissioners,
Good morning. I hope this email finds you all well. I would like to take a moment to discuss Founder's
Day this year. As you all know the City of Ocoee is a diverse city. When will the City start including
diverse entertainment during the City Sponsored events like Founder's Day. While country music is
great, there are diverse entertainers that are just a good and it will provide an opportunity to bring
more of the City residents together by including them. It's understood you work hard in putting this
event together every year but it has become a status quo, Country, country, country. Is there a reason
no other music genres are chosen?
Let us honor and respect our diverse City and include entertainment other than just country music.
I know this is on the consent agenda for tonight's meeting and unfortunately I will not be able to attend
the meeting due to my work schedule. Can one of you please bring up my concerns when this item
comes up on the agenda?
Thank you,
Tim Alcuri

Re: Large Scale Comprehensive Plan, Low Density Residential for CLRM PUD
Case Number:CPA-2o18-oo8
I am writing this complaint due to new information which has come to light since
the public input session before the Commission in March.
Apparently, this property was annexed from Orange County to Ocoee without
completion of a Joint Planning Agreement between Orange County and the city.
Most municipalities have already completed their JPA`s, but the Agreement
between Ocoee and Orange has been canceled and another has not been formally
executed. The city has evidently planned numerous commercial and residential
projects on the north side, information definitely part of the public record but not
generally known to county residents affected. The traffic congestion caused by all
these ambitious projects will create traffic far in excess of what is presently
counted. There are also a number of county projects in the works for this former
rural settlement area, so it can be understood why many, Clarcona residents in
particular, see an overarching need for city -county collaboration.
In careful study of the projected Metroplan, I see no mention of any planned
four-laning of Apopka -Vinland Road (North) and no mention of adding turning
lanes or an additional two lanes on McCormick. If improvements have been
coordinated by a city -county joint plan, I see no evidence of this through my own
research.
The goal for both city and county should be to create planned communities with
evidence of forethought, so as to prevent massive traffic snarls in any given area,
rural or urban. Perhaps Ocoee and Orange County could look into this matter.
Sincerely,
Susan Adams

Attn: City Clerk
Re: Letter of Objection to Annexation and Comprehensive Plan Amendment re: CLRM
Property
Dear Interested Officials of the City of Ocoee:
Please accept this letter as Barry A. Reiter's and Gretchen R. H. Vose's (husband and wife
who own and reside on the property immediately to the east of the CLRM Property) objection to
the annexation and comprehensive plan amendment regarding the CLRM Property. The CLRM
Property is 213.3 acres which is located generally south of McCormick Road, west of Clarcona
Road, north of the West Orange Trail and Forest Trails subdivision, and directly east and adjacent
to our constitutional homestead property located at 106 W. McCormick Road, Apopka, Florida.
Our objections to this annexation and comprehensive plan amendment include the
following:
1) There is not sufficient roadway infrastructure to appropriately handle the traffic to
be generated by proposed development on the CLRM Property.
2) The CLRM Property is a part of the Orange County Clarcona Rural Settlement.
The proposed land use is not consistent or appropriate with the adjacent rural settlement properties.
Orange County disapproved a similar proposed development on this property in 2018 due to its
incompatibility with adjacent land uses and numerous other reasons. As a result, the developer of
the CLRM Property approached the City of Ocoee and requested that the property be annexed and
development occur in the City of Ocoee. The City of Ocoee, based on the request by the CLRM
developer, notified Orange County of its intent of "non -renewal" of the Joint Planning Agreement.
This action did not permit the annexation of the CLRM Property, and therefore, both the
annexation and the comprehensive plan change are illegal.
2) The annexation of the CLRM Property results in the creation of an enclave, and is
therefore not legal.
3) The comprehensive plan amendment is illegal since the CLRM Property is not able
to be legally annexed.
City of Ocoee

4) The CLRM Property is in the Wekiva Study Area and the proposed development
does not comport with the requirements in the Wekiva Study Area.
5) The annexation and proposed amendment to the City of Ocoee's Comprehensive
Plan is not in compliance with the City of Ocoee's current comprehensive plan.
6) The CLRM Property does not comply with school concurrency.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Gretchen R. H. "Becky" Vose

RE: Proposed Annexation & Development
CLRM — McCormick Rd & Apopka Vineland Rd
Mayor Johnson & Ocoee City Commissioners:
I am writing on behalf of the homeowners at Forest Trails regarding the proposed
annexation and development for CLRM located at McCormick Rd and Apopka Vineland
Rd. We are extremely concerned about the lack of existing infrastructure to
support the annexation and development of three hundred eight one (381) single
family homes.
Mayor, as a resident of Ocoee for 60 years, you can attest to the evolution of the City of
Ocoee. There have been numerous, positive changes; however, growth must be
carefully managed to ensure existing residents are not negatively impacted.
The Association is not opposed to development and the annexation of additional property
into the City of Ocoee, as we certainly understand growth is imminent in Central Florida.
Given the current state of infrastructure in our immediate area, the impact of the proposed
annexation and development to Forest Trail homeowners is imbalanced and unjustified.
As an example, seven (7) out of ten (10) days, traffic was backed up past Hackney Prairie
Rd resulting in sitting through five (5) signal light cycles. This is extremely inefficient and
demonstrates the need for immediate infrastructure improvements. Further development
will undoubtedly exasperate the problem.
Arden Park North, which was approved in 2006, is three hundred eight (308) acres and
has dramatically impacted the infrastructure. While it is understood that the expansion of
Clark Rd to four (4) lanes and punching through to McCormick Rd is planned for soon,
this should have been expanded prior to the expansion of Arden Park North. As a result
of previous policy, "development prior to infrastructure improvements", the intersection of
Clarcona-Ocoee Rd and Clark Rd not only experiences daily traffic backups but is now
experiencing a significant increase in auto accidents.
We fully support Commissioner Oliver's concerns regarding the hurried development that
is occurring in the northern portion of Ocoee. If the City maintains the previous policy of
"development prior to infrastructure improvements", one should expect similar problems
at Apopka Vineland Rd and McCormick Rd and Apopka Vineland Rd and Clarcona-
Ocoee Rd. the residents of
Moreover, Commissioner Firstner noted at a recent City Council Meeting that he expected
the north side of Ocoee to be developed; however, he did not expect it to occur over a
short amount of time. He was assured by developers and other City officials that the
impact would be minimal, yet it has proven to significantly impact Forest Trails and other
communities in the immediate area.
In addition to the obvious infrastructure deficiencies in the immediate area, we strongly
support Commissioner Brinson's concerns regarding density of the proposed
development. Specifically, the 1:7 parking ratio should be carefully reviewed and
scrutinized. Planner Rumer maintains the 1:7 parking ratio is called for in an "Urban
Area". The northern portion is unquestionably more rural than urban. At a minimum, the
proposed developed should maintain "Suburban Area" design standards.
Forest Trails welcomes a developer that leads with infrastructure. Prior to
approving annexation and development, we strongly recommend that
infrastructure be in-place to ensure a smooth transition for existing and new
homeowners.
Very Respectfully,
Troy Corbin, President
