With the recent separation in the agreement between the Central Florida Fire Academy and Orange County
Public Schools, as well as, the formation of an agreement of the newly named Central Florida Fire Institute and
Valencia Community College, the need for an updated interlocal and facility sublicense agreement became
necessary. The Consortium is made up from membership of the local Central Florida area fire department and
managed by a board of directors, which is made up of representatives from each department. The agreement is a
10 -year agreement last signed in 2005. Membership in the Consortium allows the fire department to use the fire
ground facilities for training as required by ISO. Membership also allows fire department personnel to attend
technical fire training classes at consortium member discounted fees, typically a 20% discount.
Assistant City Attorney Drage explained that Valencia College is taking over the training
facility from the Orange County School Board. As a requirement, Valencia College is requesting
the City enter into a sublicense agreement; however, she suggested a change to the agreement.
The revision to the agreement clarifies the language and does not impose additional obligations
on the City. The language has been clarified so there is no ambiguity.
Commissioner Grogan inquired if there is a fee associated with this. Ms. Drage responded that
the fee is approximately $100 -$125 per year, per fire fighter. City Manager Frank explained
the City has paid approximately $6,000- $10,000 per year to meet all the training requirements
for the fire fighters.
Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved for approval
of Interlocal Agreement Central Florida Fire Consortium and Facility Sublicense
Agreement. Motion carried 5 -0.
4. Approval of Change Order No. 3 for the North Side Reclaimed Water, Main Project.
(City Engineer Wheeler)
The North Side Reclaimed Water Main Extension project provides for the installation of a 16 inch reclaimed
water main along McCormick Road from the entrance to the McCormick Woods subdivision west to Ocoee -
Apopka Road and then south on Ocoee - Apopka Road to the entrance to the Fountains West commercial
development. The North Side Reclaimed Water Main Extension project was awarded to Hazen Construction
LLC (Hazen) at the April 16, 2013, City Commission meeting.
The original bid itemization did not include line items for the replacement of sod along the alignment of the
pipeline. Orange County requires the replacement of either Bahia or St. Augustine sod where present in right -
of -way. Staff negotiated a price for the sod replacement for either the Bahia ($2.00 per square foot) or St.
Augustine ($3.25 per square foot) sod. The total cost for the sod replacement was $10,842.00.
This change order will also adjust quantities of various pay items, up or down, based upon the actual work
completed. There were 33 items of work required under the original contract on this project, with an additional
13 items added under change orders #1 and #2. There were 11 work items that were over the estimated contract
quantity which had a value of $65,389.50 to the contractor and 12 work items that were under the estimated
contract quantity which had a value of $40,489.80 to the City. The net result is an increase in contract amount
of $24,909.70, with an increase of fifteen calendar days.
The total cost for Change Order #3 is $35,751.70 with an adjustment in contract time of 15 days.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5 -0.

In early 2012, the City of Ocoee adopted Ordinance 2012 -003, which repealed and replaced Chapter 175 of the
Code of Ordinances. The new Chapter 175 is entitled Water Conservation for Landscape Irrigation, Irrigation
System Design and Installation Standards, and Efficient Plumbing Requirements. The adoption of this
Ordinance satisfied requirements and conditions of the City's SJRWMD Consumptive Use Permit, and the
District accepted it.
One circumstance the present Ordinance 2012 -003 does not take into consideration is that some customers do
not hook up to reclaimed water when it becomes available to their property; instead continuing to utilize potable
water for irrigation. This new Ordinance being presented includes a provision stating that where reclaim is
available, within forty five (45) days from the date when reclaimed water becomes available, or within forty
five (45) days from the adoption of said Ordinance, all irrigation must utilize reclaimed water; and irrigation
using potable water will become prohibited. The Ordinance also provides that violations of this amended
section are subject to the penalties provided in Section 175 -12.
Additionally, the Ordinance provides a new definition, entitled Unattended Broadcast Irrigation, which is
defined as "the irrigation of landscape utilizing any method other than an irrigation system or a hand -held hose
equipped with a shut -off nozzle ".
Assistant City Attorney Drage read the title of the Ordinance. Mayor Vandergrift announced
the second reading and public hearing will be held on June 17, 2014, Regular Commission
Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.
H. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES — PUBLIC HEARINGS
The City extended economic incentives for new construction last year that are, by ordinance, set to expire on
July 1, 2014. The incentives included reducing impact fees for police, fire, recreational park and transportation.
Other incentives included the deferral of transportation impact fee payments until the issuance of the Certificate
of Occupancy.
A study of the existing impact fees, methodologies, and current construction costs indicate that a full impact fee
update will result in lower impact fees for targeted uses such as commercial, restaurant, and office. An update to
the City's impact fees and methodology is expected to begin in July of this year, using newly released
transportation data from FDOT and Metro Plan. Staff is requesting an extension to the current impact fee
reduction until December 31, 2014, in order to complete the impact fee update.
Assistant City Attorney Drage read the title of the Ordinance. Mayor Vandergrift announced
the second reading and public hearing will be held on June 17, 2014, Regular Commission
Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.

Gary Haskell, 110 Parker Cove Court, briefly shared his concerns regarding the condition of
Police Department vehicles which in conversations with several officers was told that the fleet
they work in is of poor quality. Mr. Haskell was assured that the Police Department has good
quality vehicles and he may have spoken to someone who may be dissatisfied with the vehicle
they are driving. After a brief discussion, City Manager Frank shared that the police impact
fees cannot be used on police vehicles.
At the April 1, 2014, City Commission meeting, staff was directed to bring back to the commission an
ordinance to reduce plan review fees as an incentive for new commercial projects. The proposed ordinance
accomplishes the directive in three parts. Part one temporarily suspends the 1 /2 of 1% Fire Plan Review fee until
December 31, 2014; Part two reinstates the Fire Plan Review fee at a reduced rate of ' / 4 of 1% cost of
construction as of January 1, 2015; and, finally, part three provides for the deferral of Building Plan Review
fees for new construction until permit approval. This ordinance creates an application fee of $1,000.00 at the
time of building plan review which will cover some cost of review.
Assistant City Attorney Drage read the title of the Ordinance. Mayor Vandergrift announced
the second reading and public hearing will be held on June 17, 2014, Regular Commission
Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.
City Planner Rumer briefly explained at the April 1, 2014, City Commission meeting, staff
was directed to bring back to the commission an ordinance to reduce plan review fees as an
incentive for new commercial projects. The proposed ordinance accomplishes the directive.
Mayor Vandergrift opened the public hearing. As no one wished to speak, the public hearing
was closed.
I. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE — PUBLIC HEARING
8. Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Section 1 -14 of Chapter 1 of the City of
Ocoee Code of Ordinances entitled, "Lien Search Fees ". (Advertised in the Orlando ,Sentinel on
Friday, May 23 2014). (City Clerk Eikenberry)
In 2010, the Commission adopted a new Article 111 of Chapter 1 of the City of Ocoee Code of Ordinances,
specifically adopting Section 1 -14 "Lien Search Fees." From time to time the City has received requests to
prepare a lien search report for a single entity or parcel that contains multiple units or addresses. Since the
current fee structure does not address this, we have been charging for the additional time based on actual costs
incurred (employee salary, plus amount of time spent). Staff feels it would be more equitable and consistent to
amend the fee structure to include a flat fee for additional lien searches when multiple units /addresses exist
under one parcel. Additionally, this will allow the research to be done quicker since the cost will be
predetermined and the requestor won't be delayed waiting for an estimate.
Assistant City Attorney Drage read the title of the Ordinance.
Mayor Vandergrift opened the public hearing. As no one wished to speak, the public hearing
was closed.

The applicant, Ladda Blanks, is requesting a variance to place a swimming pool with screen enclosure on the
side yard of the property. According to Article V, Section 5 -6 B of the Land Development Code (LDC): "In
residential districts, accessory uses and structures shall not be located in front or side yards but may be located
in rear yards." She is also requesting a variance for the pool to be located 40 feet from the mean high water line
instead of 50 feet.
The proposed variance request by Ladda Blanks for a pool and screen enclosure to be located in a side yard and
a variance to encroach 10 feet into the 50 foot setback from the normal high water level was reviewed at a
Public Hearing by the Board of Adjustment on May 14, 2014. The Board of Adjustment voted 3 -0 to
recommend approval of the variance request. Based on the existing conditions of the parcel and the unique
parcel position, staff does find the variances requested by Ladda Blanks to be supportable.
City Planner Rumer provided exhibits and briefly explained the proposed variance request by
Ladda Blanks for a pool and screen enclosure to be located in a side yard and a variance for the
pool to be located 40 feet from the mean high water line instead of 50 feet. According to Article
V, Section 5 -6 B of the Land Development Code (LDC): "In residential districts, accessory uses

The applicant, Bonnell Patrick, is requesting a variance to permit an enclosed storage structure that was
constructed without permits under a wood deck located on the rear of the property. The storage structure will
encroach 114 feet into a 25 foot Upland Buffer, Conservation & Drainage Easement.
The house was originally constructed in 2003 with 4,183 sq. ft. under roof. In 2011/2012, a rear addition was
done by the applicant increasing the square footage to 7,603 sq. ft. With the rear addition, a deck was permitted
to extend 12 feet off of the rear of the addition. The applicant constructed an accessory storage structure under
the deck and extended the deck an extra t eight (8) feet.
The property is on Lake Johio and contains wetlands and 100 year flood plain. A 25' conservation easement is
dedicated from the 100 year flood plain per code. The accessory structure is located within the 25' buffer
easement.
The proposed variance request by Bonnell Patrick for an encroachment into the 25 foot Upland Buffer,
Conservation & Drainage Easement was reviewed at a Public Hearing by the Board of Adjustment on May 14,
2014. The Board of Adjustment voted 3 -0 to recommend denial of the variance request. Based on the
recommendation of the Board of Adjustment and the evidence provided in the staff report, staff does not
support the variance requested.
City Planner Rumer provided exhibits and briefly explained this case came before the Planning
Department as a result of a Code Enforcement issue for a structure constructed without permits.
The property is on Lake Johio and contains wetlands and 100 -year flood plain. A 25'
conservation easement is dedicated from the 100 year flood plain per code. The accessory
structure is located within the 25' buffer easement. The applicant, Bonnell Patrick, is requesting
a variance to permit an enclosed storage structure that was constructed without permits under a
wood deck located on the rear of the property. The storage structure will encroach ±14 feet into a
25 foot Upland Buffer, Conservation & Drainage Easement. The Board of Adjustment did
recommend to deny this variance request and staff does not support the variance requested.
Mayor Vandergrift opened the public hearing.
Bonnell Patrick, applicant, was given the opportunity to address the commission and give his
reasons for the variance request. He explained that they live in a cul -de -sac and there is only one
neighbor that can see into their yard. Marie Patrick, applicant, advised that they contacted St.
Johns Water Management and they informed them that there is no conservation easement in their
backyard. She further provided exhibits that showed other homes on the lake with accessory
structures near the shoreline. City Planner Rumer advised that the exhibits provided are of
homes platted in the 1980's which precedes many of the city's current regulations. Discussion
ensued regarding the 100 -year flood line and the requirements by the city when developing on
property with a flood line. Mr. Patrick explained his encounter with the City's code
enforcement officer who had received a complaint regarding the structure.
Commissioner Wilsen inquired when the deck was originally built on they had a permit;
however, they went out further than what the original permit allowed and added the enclosure.
City Planner Rumer explained that the pilings of the original deck were in the conservation
area; however, an additional 6ft was added, as well, as the enclosure underneath the deck.
Further discussion ensued.
Commissioner Keller shared his feelings regarding this issue and inquired if there is really
anywhere else on that property that Mr. Bonnell would be able to put a shed. Neil Saydah, 2572
West S.R. 426, Suite 2032, Oviedo, FL, attorney representing the Willows on the Lake HOA,
7 1Page
Regular City Commission
June 3, 2014
advised that the first question would be if there is even a need for a shed. He further explained
the HOA's take on the situation advising that the additions added onto the home is what
restricted the homeowner. After a lengthy discussion regarding deed restricted homeowner
associations, Commissioner Keller advised that he would not have an issue with the homeowner
building the enclosure under the original permitted deck; however, they would still have to get
HOA approval. Commissioner Wilsen shared that her issue with this case is that if the HOA and
City approved the deck at a certain size then why the resident feel would they had the ability to
make it larger and enclose it.
Neil Saydah shared that while the HOA does object to the granting of the variance, this is not
just a variance of the city code but will also require an amendment to a recorded plat of the
community. There are no other houses in the community that encroach on this
conservation /drainage easement. Mr. Saydah briefly spoke in regards to circumstances and
special conditions for which a variance should be granted. In regards to this case the HOA does
not feel there are any findings that would warrant the City to grant this variance. Further
discussion ensued.
Commissioner Keller moved to bring the home addition back to the original
approved size specifications, and then to approve a variance to enclose that
portion. Motion died for lack of second.
Commissioner Wilsen said that she believes that the structure is put back into compliance as
originally permitted. She said that she feels they should deny the variance and have the structure
brought into compliance; at that time they can apply for the appropriate permitting and HOA
approvals to enclose it.
There was discussion regarding the dirt floor, the grading of the property caused by the
construction, the conservation area.
Assistant City Attorney Drage stated they can grant a variance that is less than what has been
requested, or they can deny the entire variance. Either option can be done tonight and would
lead back to the same discussion at a later time. She added that denying the variance would
cause the structure to be put back into compliance with the original permit.
There was discussion with the HOA attorney that the approval for the deck was just to build a
deck between the two side wings of the house that were added on; there was no plan showing the
deck would extend beyond that. Further discussion ensued. Ms. Drage noted that if the variance
is denied tonight, in order to enclose this structure, they will have to put the property into
compliance at the original specifications, apply for a variance to enclose it at, and then obtain
city permits and HOA approval to build it.
Commissioner Grogan, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved to deny the
variance as requested. Motion carried 3 -2 with Mayor Vandergrift and
Commissioner Keller opposed.
Commissioner Grogan explained to the homeowner that they are denying the variance tonight
which means his enclosure will need to be removed and the deck will be brought back to the
specifications that were permitted by the City.

L. STAFF ACTION ITEMS- none
M. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Wilsen — said the city has codes for the clothing containers which do not allow
them in the city, however we are seeing them all around the perimeter of the city in county
jurisdictions. City Manager Frank said we are considering them accessory structures and you
will not see any in Ocoee because of the codes application to accessory structures. The county is
now in the process of adopting an ordinance restricting these clothing boxes. Commissioner
Wilsen said she would like to send a letter of support the Board of County Commissioners for
limiting and restricting the use of the containers. Mayor Vandergrift noted that he would
rather advise the County that they should copy our code and not allow them at all.
Commissioners Wilsen, Keller, and Grogan said they would like to see some kind of
restrictions being put into place because it is better than what they have right now. Mayor
Vandergrift said he will not vote in favor because he thinks we should encourage the county to
eliminate all containers.
Commissioner Wilsen, seconded by Commissioner Grogan, moved to direct the
City Manager's Office to write a Letter of Support to the Orange County Board of
Commissioners regarding the ordinance they are adopting on June 24, 2014,
restricting the use of clothing containers throughout the county. Motion carried
4 -1 with Mayor Vandergrift opposing.
Commissioner Grogan — spoke about the furniture store on Dillard Street that has been going
out of business for five years, he said they have been putting up signs down Bluford and SR 50,
as well as having two or three sign twirlers. They put the signs up Friday night and leave them
out all weekend. He would like for staff to bring back something that will tighten up the code
and restrict this kind of activity. City Manager Frank said we have allowed home builders, etc.
to put signs up for the weekend and we have to treat everyone the same. Assistant City
Attorney Drage said you cannot regulate signs based on content. City Manager Frank
suggested they have a discussion on City Attorney Day.
Commissioner Johnson — inquired when the house that we purchased will be torn down. Public
Works Director Krug advised that it took a while to get quotes on the asbestos remediation. It
was more extensive than anyone thought. Once that happens, we will tear the house town in-
house to save money. 2) asked about drainage problems at White Road and Bluford Avenue.
Public Works Director Krug said we have the surveys completed, we have acquired two of the
four parcels that we need, and we are waiting to hear about the other two. City Manager Frank
noted we are waiting for final costs on the two remaining parcels so that we don't have to get
into an eminent domain situation. 3) said we need to keep an eye out on city lots and not let
them get above a foot high; we fine people all the time for mowing issues so we need to be more
diligent. Public Works Director Krug said we have had to supplement the crews and pull
employees from the streets. Code Enforcement has been good about notifying us if they see a
problem with high grass. 4) said we need to trim the hedge at Ocoee Cafe, it is limiting the
vision for people leaving the parking lot trying to get out on McKey Street 5) said they need to
trim the grass at the curb on silver star road past Robert's Rise subdivision, it is limiting the
911'age
Regular City Commission

vision for vehicles coming around the curb. They trimmed all around the lake, but not the curve
by the guard rail.
Mayor Vandergrift — said he has received a lot of calls for the Peach Lake Manor road paving.
Public Works Director Krug stated that they have completed the first two phases and we have
one more phase to complete; the cost is approximately one million dollars. Mayor Vandergrift
made a motion that they take money from reserves to no ahead a finish the
project Motion died for lack of second.
City Manager Frank confirmed that it was a project that was placed in next year's budget. He
noted that it would be stormwater dollars, so the money would come from storm water reserves.
It is possible the money might be there, but we would have to advertise and do a budget
amendment. We would have to recognize the budget amendment and the expenditure. He said a
Change Order for $1,000,000 on $1,300,000 might be pushing the envelope, but we would have
to get with the Finance Department to see what is feasible. We need to make sure we comply
with the state CCNA requirements and do the appropriate public hearing for budget amendments.
It would probably take two months to get through the process, which would only give us a two
month lead on starting early. Public Works Director Krug said they should be done with Phase
2 by September. City Manager Frank said if the Finance Department thinks it can be done as a
change order and it wouldn't have to be bid, it may be feasible.
Commissioner Wilsen inquired about the study for speed tables on Ridgefield. Public Works
Director Krug said he just got the information for the north end of Ridgefield but has not had a
chance to look at it. They removed the prefabricated speed table at southern most end of
Ridgefield because it has reached the end of their life cycle; it will have to be replaced along
with a few others. Commissioner Johnson said his daughter lives there and said that there is, in
fact, a speed bump on recently installed on Ridgefield.
Commissioner Keller — 1) said he is really frustrated with HOA and inquired if two questions
could be put on the city's application: Do you live in a deed restricted subdivision? And if so,
please provide HOA approval with the application. Commissioner Keller asked to have staff to
take a look at it and bring something back to the commission for consideration. 2) said he was
asked by a resident if an ordinance could be passed regarding mailboxes and driveways on Rich
Drive being blocked cars in order to drop off /pick up kids for the new Hackney Prairie School.
There was discussion regarding the issue, but they did not feel that anything was happening that
could be enforced by ordinance. Commissioner Keller said maybe the police department can just
keep a closer watch for a while.
