COMMENTS FRO CI TIZENS /PUBL Dale Reynolds, 431 Bridge Creek Blvd., advised that recently their community has noticed a lot of trash in their curbside stormwater drains. He contacted the City to see if they could go by their subdivision with the vac truck but was advised since they are a gated private subdivision the City did not provide that service to them. He further shared that the HOA was not aware of this and their budget had been completed and approved. Mr. Reynolds said he is before the commission to seek help with the cleaning of the stormwater drains for the Cross Creek subdivision. He will be sure that this issue will be added to their 1I0A budget in the future so they do not have this problem again. Commissioner Johnson briefly shared this is in his district and he feels since the residents pay City taxes and stormwater fees that the City should back them on this issue. Public Works Director Krug said his staff has spoken to Mr. Reynolds and if the commission is to direct his staff, they can work this subdivision into their normal maintenance schedule since they do pay the stormwater fees.

Approval of Change Order No. 1, B13 -16 Asphalt Paving FY 2013 with Empower Construction. (Public Works Director Krug) The Commission awarded the asphalt paving projects for fiscal year 2012 -13 for roads within Forest Oaks Subdivision (Hager Dr., Rich Dr., Prairie bake Dr., Withers Ct., and Ison ],n.) and Sawmill Subdivision (Canyon Trail Ln, Cross Cut Ct., and Hornlake Circle); to Empower Construction, Inc. at the June 4, 2013, meeting. The construction consisted of removing the existing asphalt by milling to a depth of 1" and installing new asphalt. In both subdivisions, the milling activities exposed large areas of horizontal shearing in the existing asphalt and base. These areas left deep scabs, or pockets, in the roadway which required additional asphalt pavement to rebuild the roads to the original profile and cross slope. The Contractor and Public Works Inspector documented the issue as it occurred. The Contractor is requesting $37,363.74 for the 47028 tons of additional asphalt installed due to the extra depth required to fill the large areas where the existing pavement experienced excessive horizontal shearing. Public Works has verified the total asphalt installed on the project through delivery tickets and on -site cores of the new asphalt. Public Works also verified the extended cost per ton as bid to be at the low end of the industry standard for this area. The original contract price of $167,808.13, plus the change order of $37,363.74, will give a new contract total of $205,171.87 which is below the $240,000.00 allocated in the 2012 -13 fiscal year budget.

City Planner Rumer briefly explained 17` JPA amendment changed the Land Use to Commercial, and the customer was patient enough to wait for that to happen. He explained the Barkeritaville project was a PUD to permit several uses; we did not just go with straight zoning. The primary use is for a high end doggy day care and vet office; with ancillary restaurant or retail building in an 8000 square foot building pad. He advised the plan before the commission shows the property has vegetation and wetland areas on the east side of the parcel, then Wesmere subdivision.

They are trying to get "Fish" the owner of Yellow Dog fats, to join the venture and duplicate his cafe and yappy hour setting. He said there will be Barkeritavitle University, which is coming together very rapidly. It will be designed to train all aspects of animal health care from hotel kennel, to vet tech, to hospital administration and veterinarians. He noted that the International Boarding Pet. Services Association (IBPSA) has agreed to relocate their headquarters to Ocoee when Barkeritaville University is built; and they have agreed to bring their international conventions to Ocoee. Patterson Veterinary University, a huge vet drug distributor, has a mobile university that they will bring to our area.

He said he plans to bring a convention to Ocoee on October 26, 2014, if the city will allow it. It will be a large gathering of IBPSA members, approximately 300 members and their families will come to Ocoee and use the hotels, 6 1Page Regular City Commission November 5, 2013 . etc. He said Pfizer.. Novartis, and Merck, and several other small groups have said they will sponsor the conference, so they will be bringing their industry to the city as well. Eventually that will rub off and cause someone to do something else here associated with the veterinary industry. There are 8500 boarding facilities in the United States; when they move their headquarters here the credibility factor will increase light years; that will be announced on the website in a month. He stated he will be moving to the community and intend to be a good community neighbor. He said he has met with people from the community and made changes to address any concerns that they had. He discussed the Drake foundation, an outreach program that he created after a police dog was killed in the line of duty, to change laws regarding caring for animals that have served their country, city, etc. He showed another video and explained that dogs don't fight when their owners are not present, no leashes, and no property to defend. Dr. Simmons asked. the commission to waive the construction permit fees (1% of the construction cost equal to $15,000- $18,000) in exchange for bringing the convention to the community; if he does not accomplish that in October 2014, lie will pay the permit fees. Secondly, he asked for use the community center at no charge for the events that he does with the IBPSA, no more than 4 per year, scheduled around the city's needs. The conference sessions would probably run Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They may want some vendors to set up at the Withers Maguire House as well. There was discussion among Dr. Simmons and the commission with regard to the number of days and number of events that he would need to use Lakeshore Center for his events, the historical practice of waving permit fees, reduced impact fees, the code provision for permit fees, off -site hotel stays for convention participants, waiving fees for the Lakeshore Event Center. BREAK 8:42 — 8:57 p.m. City Attorney Cookson noted that we got away from the ordinances; perhaps they should go ahead and adopt the three ordinances and approve the Development Agreement and then discuss the economic incentive idea. Mayor Vandergrift stated he believes the applicant wants to have a feel for where we are going so we should get a consensus on moving forward with waiving the permit fees in exchange for a conference in October of 2014, at which time the waived fees would be owed to the city if the conference does not happen. if there is a consensus on that, the Commission can discuss the use of the Lakeshore Center. Commissioner Wilsen advised that she has no problem with the waiving the review fees, however she is concerned with waving the fees for the Lakeshore Center, unless it is contingent upon there being a certain number of registrations. Commissioner Grogan said they could waive the permit fees for a year and to have an agreement as to what needs to take place as far as the convention in order to determine if the deferred fees need to be waived or reimbursed. Dr. Simmons confirmed that he is only tying the waived permit fees to the one event, which is the conference in October 2014, at which he would use the Lakeshore Center free of charge. The other three events can be discussed separately. Commissioner Keller said he agrees with Commissioner Grogan, but does not feel there needs to be a number of registrants tied to the agreement; he feels comfortable letting staff work out the details. Commissioner Johnson added that if the number of registrants is small, they can use only a portion of the Lakeshore Center. There was discussion regarding the number of registrants at the previous IBPSA conference, and how many are anticipated at the upcoming one in Ocoee. There was continued discussion about whether or not a certain number should be required. 71Page Regular City Commission November 5, 2013 City Planner Rumer explained the two waivers with regard to the PUD Land Use Plan as follows: 1) reducing the 25 foot landscape buffer along the front to 15 feet with supplemental plantings 2) reducing the northern side setback between the property and the expressway from 25 feet to 10 feet. Mr. Rumer also said the Developer's Agreement has some nuances that need to be cleaned up with regard to cost of water and sewer and timing of the water and sewer installation. There may be some small changes in the agreement. City Attorney Scott explained that the city shares in the cost to bring utilities into the area by contributing the engineering costs and then each property owner benefitted by the water and sewer contribute their share. This owner has agreed to contribute his share of the costs, and that is outlined in the Development Agreement. City Planner Rumer also noted that the building elevation does not match the Mediterranean style in that area, but staff has no problem with that. a.
