Item #08 Interlocal Agreement - Transfer of Jurisdiction of Maguire Rd/Kissimmee Ave/Bowness Rd from Franklin St to Parkridge-Gotha Rd AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET Meeting Date: August 7, 2007 Item # g Contact Name: Contact Number: David A. Wheeler, P.E. 407 -905-3100, ext. 1505 Reviewed By: Department Director: City Manager: /;;/k~ Subject: Interlocal Agreement between Orange County, Florida and City of Ocoee, Florida regarding Transfer of Jurisdiction of Maguire Road/Kissimmee Avenue/Bowness Road from Franklin Street to Parkridge-Gotha Road Background Summary: The roadway known in portions as Maguire Road, Kissimmee Avenue, and Bowness Road has been an Orange County road by jurisdiction to operate and maintain for many years. However the City of Ocoee has been maintaining this roadway section for at least the past fifteen years. The City of Ocoee has undertaken two major improvements projects in the past ten years on this roadway section. Those two improvements projects have been the intersection improvements at Maguire/Kissimmee and Geneva/Story Roads and the widening of Maguire Road from Moore/Roberson Roads north to Mercantile Court. The City is in the process of designing the widening of Maguire Road from Mercantile Court to Geneva/Story Road. There have been many residential and commercial development projects that have been designed and constructed along this roadway section over the past ten or more years. The permitting of the developments improvements to the roadway section has always been a tenuous phase of the project. The County will claim jurisdiction and require permitting through their process and the City will claim jurisdiction and require permitting through its process. There have many interesting discussions over the past ten plus years on who has jurisdiction and who is the maintenance entity. Florida Statutes require that roadway transfers between the County and the City be done by Interlocal Agreement. The County procedures require that this approval occur at an advertised public hearing. The attached Interlocal Agreement formally transfers jurisdiction for ownership and maintenance rights of Maguire Road, Kissimmee Avenue, and Bowness Road from Franklin Street south to Parkridge-Gotha Road. The intersections of West Franklin StreetlBowness Road and Maguire Road/Parkridge-Gotha Road are not included in the transfer. The West Franklin Street and Bowness Road intersection is controlled by FDOT, Franklin Street is SR 438. The Maguire Road and Parkridge-Gotha Road intersection will remain in the County, because Parkridge-Gotha Road is a County road. While portions of Maguire Road are actually owned by the City in fee and were acquired as part of the Maguire Road expansion project, it is still necessary for jurisdiction to be transferred from the County to the City. During the course of construction of the Maguire Road expansion project south of the Turnpike, environmental contamination was found on a portion of the roadway which had been conveyed to the City by Heller Bros. Groves. Heller Bros has cleaned up the contamination on the property owned by them, but the contamination under the roadway could not be totally cleaned up during the construction of the Maguire Road expansion. In order to close out the clean-up and allow for the issuance of an FDEP clearance letter, the FDEP and County are requiring that the City impose certain restrictions on the road which would preclude its future development. None of these restrictions are incompatible with the use of the property as a road. Issue: Acceptance of ownership and maintenance jurisdiction of Maguire Road/Kissimmee Avenue/Bowness Road from Franklin Street to Parkridge-Gotha Road. Recommendations Staff recommends (i) the Approval of the transfer of jurisdiction of Maguire Road/Kissimmee Avenue/Bowness Road from Franklin Street to Parkridge-Gotha Road and execution of the Interlocal Agreement between Orange County, Florida and City of Ocoee, Florida regarding Transfer of Jurisdiction of Maguire Road/Kissimmee Avenue/Bowness Road from Franklin Street to Parkridge-Gotha Road, (ii) Authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute restrictive covenants as required by FDEP and Orange County to address environmental contamination under portions of Maguire Road, such restrictive covenants to be recorded at the time of transfer of Maguire Road from the County to the City and to be acceptable to the City Engineer, and (iii) Authorization to accept the conveyance of Maguire Road from the County to the City and to record the deed of conveyance. Attachments: 1) Interlocal Agreement between Orange County, Florida and City of Ocoee, Florida regarding Transfer of Jurisdiction of Maguire Road/Kissimmee Avenue/Bowness Road from Franklin Street to Parkridge-Gotha Road 2) Map of Maguire Road/Kissimmee Avenue/Bowness Road from Franklin Street to Parkridge-Gotha Road Financial Impact: Approval and execution of the Interlocal Agreement will not have any affect on the City's Budget because the City has already been maintaining this roadway section for many years.
