G. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE - 8:38 PM
7. First Reading of Ordinance Proposing Amendment to Chapter 77, Fire Protection
Assessments, in the Code of Ordinance of the City of Ocoee. (Second Reading scheduled for
November 1, 2016, Regular City Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.) (Support
Services Director Butler)
The Ocoee City Commission originally enacted Ordinance 2013-010 to establish a Fire Protection Assessment,
which was codified as Chapter 77 of the City of Ocoee Code of Ordinances. The intent of the assessment is to
better allocate the cost of fire protection services to the property owners of the city on the basis of fire risk and
severity rather than appraised value. After several years of experience, staff has developed a series of minor
adjustments to the Ordinance that simplify the annual adoption process while preserving citizen input
opportunities.
The primary modification offered by the attached ordinance is to reduce the number of City Commission
actions needed to complete the annual adoption process from two to one by eliminating the Preliminary Rate
Resolution. The revised approach matches that used to impose other non-ad valorem assessments, such as
those for stormwater management services, by preserving the adoption of an annual assessment roll. The
annual Preliminary Rate Resolution has been replaced with a Revised Rate Resolution, which needs to be
adopted only when the City Commission wants to change either the Maximum Assessment Rate or the Applied
Assessment Rate. The current Maximum Assessment Rate of$69.50 will become the Applied Assessment
Rate and will remain in effect until changed by the City Commission's adoption of a Revised Rate Resolution.
This practice is also identical to that used by other non-ad valorem assessments levied by the city. Notification
to property owners by U.S.Mail is required only when the Maximum Assessment Rate is to be changed.

Other changes include adjustments to various definitions, minor changes reflecting the new terms, deletion of
the exemptions and hardship assistance provisions (which were never implemented), and endorsement of the
governmental and institutional property exemptions in the ordinance rather than through an annual resolution.
City Attorney Cookson read the title of the Ordinance. Second Reading scheduled for
November 1, 2016, Regular City Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.
8. First Reading of Ordinance Proposing Amending Chapter 21 Purchasing Policy.
(Second Reading scheduled for November 1, 2016, Regular City Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon
thereafter.) (Purchasing Agent Tolbert)
Staff recognizes that enhancements and revisions to the existing Purchasing Ordinance are periodically
necessary to streamline the procurement of commodities, construction, and contractual services for the City.
The recommended changes address these issues and the increase in cost of items.
Procedures have been reviewed and will be updated to reflect the changes in this Ordinance once adopted.
City Attorney Cookson read the title of the Ordinance. Second Reading scheduled for
November 1, 2016, Regular City Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.
H. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE—PUBLIC HEARING - 8:39 PM
9. First Reading of Ordinance Proposing a Temporary Moratorium on Development in
Special Overlay Areas. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, September 22, 2016;
Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for November 1, 2016, Regular City Commission Meeting at
7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (City Planner Rumer)
On September 6,2016, City staff made a presentation to the City Commission relating to the development and
redevelopment of parcels within the Special Overlay Areas. Topics of specific concern to staff and the City
Commission is the redevelopment of parcels within the Overlay Areas, density and compatibility concerns
with development and redevelopment, allowable uses in the overlay, and the development of zoning standards
that will enhance economic development and redevelopment in the Overlay Areas with the following uses or
intended uses: pharmaceutical dispensaries, fast food and other drive through restaurant establishments,check
cashing stores, self-storage facilities, vehicle and tire service, sales, and repair facilities, and discount retail
stores. City Staff recommended the City Commission adopt a moratorium in order to allow staff the time to
evaluate the current Special Overlay Area standards and update the standards as necessary. The moratorium
will expire on March 31,2017,unless terminated earlier or extended by action of the City Commission.
City Attorney Cookson read the title of the Ordinance.
City Planner Rumer advised that this topic was discussed at a City Commission Meeting and
staff was directed to bring this ordinance back before them. This type of ordinance requires a
Public Hearing at both readings.
Mayor Johnson opened the public hearing. As no one wished to speak, the public hearing was

10. First Reading of Ordinance Proposing a Temporary Moratorium on Above-Ground
Utility Poles. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, October 6, 2016; Second Reading and
Public Hearing scheduled for November 1, 2016, Regular City Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon
thereafter). (City Planner Rumer)
The City has received an application for the location of a new 120 foot above-ground utility pole within the
existing City right of way. Upon review of the City Code, the City's Land Development Code, and the
application,City staff and the City Attorney's Office has determined that existing regulations are not adequate
to address this type of request. Therefore, regulations relating to location of an above-ground utility pole
within existing right of way that will meet the City's land development regulations as well as Florida
Department of Transportation safety standards must be created. The City Attorney's Office has been in
communication with other local government attorneys in regards to issuing permits for above ground utility
poles and has found it appropriate to recommend a six month moratorium be established.This moratorium will
cover the processing and consideration of applications for development orders, development permits,and right
of way utilization permits relating to above-ground utility poles within the existing right of way. This
moratorium will allow City Staff and the City Attorney's Office time to establish land development code citing
criteria and right-of-way use permit requirements. The moratorium will expire on April 30, 2017, unless
terminated earlier or extended by action of the City Commission.
City Attorney Cookson read the title of the Ordinance.
Mayor Johnson opened the public hearing. As no one wished to speak, the public hearing was
closed. Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for November 1, 2016, Regular City

11. CubeSmart II — West 50 Commercial Preliminary/Final Site Plan Project No: LS-
2016-005. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, September 29, 2016).(City Planner
Rumer)
The CubeSmart II project is proposed on Lot 4 of West 50 Commercial Subdivision and is approximately 2.56
acres in size and is located on the south side of SR 50/Colonial Drive,north of the Florida Turnpike,east of SR
429. The Applicant has proposed to construct a 49,050 square foot climate controlled storage and indoor RV
parking facility. The project is an expansion of the Cube Smart located on Lot 1. There are no waiver requests
with this site plan. Based on the recommendation of the DRC and the Planning & Zoning Commission, Staff
recommends the City Commission approve the Preliminary/Final Site Plan for the CubeSmart II project,
subject to the resolution of staff comments.
City Planner Rumer gave a brief summary of the Final Site Plan approval for CubeSmart II
project, a 49,050 square foot climate-controlled storage and indoor RV parking facility. The
project will utilize a master stormwater system located on a stormwater tract for the West 50

12. Resolution Vacating Plat Notes - Villages of Wesmere. (Advertised in the West Orange Times
on Thursday, October 6, 2016). (City Planner Rumer)
On August 21, 2007, the City Commission approved the Plat for Villages of Wesmere. The Phase 2 Plat was
approved by the City Commission on May 17, 2011, and the Phase 3 Plat was approved on September 18,
2012. As a Condition of Approval, each Plat, as well as the Development Agreement for the Villages of
Wesmere PUD, contained a Plat Note requiring that an easement for the use of pedestrians and bicycles be
retained over the paved streets and sidewalks within the Villages of Wesmere. The purpose of the easement is
to allow all students and their parents/supervisors to travel to and from the public school located nearby. The
condition further requires that the private streets within the Villages of Wesmere remain open 90 minutes
before schools open and 90 minutes after the schools close each day the schools are open for use. To facilitate
this requirement, the Village of Wesmere Homeowner's Association (HOA) installed five pedestrian gates in
the community. On August 17, 2016, the City of Ocoee received a letter from HOA President Thomas
Biamonte requesting that this requirement and condition be removed so that the community can lock the
pedestrian gates 24 hours a day. The reason for the HOA request is concern with HOA liability for adults and
students on the HOA property and increased loitering within the community by non-residents. A precedent for
this action was established with the vacating of a similar comment on the plat for the Westyn Bay Subdivision.
The appropriate method by which to remove a Plat Note is to vacate the note following a public hearing.
Therefore,staff has presented for public hearing the proposed resolutions vacating the Plat Note on each of the
three Villages of Wesmere plats and to remove the requirement from the Conditions of Approval for Villages
of Wesmere PUD.Each Resolution will be recorded once it is approved.
a. Resolution for Nat Change on Note 11 and Condition of Approval 66 Phase 1
b. Resolution for Plat Change on Note 14 and Condition of Approval 66 Phase 2
c. Resolution for Nat Change on Note 13 and Condition of Approval 66 Phase 3
City Planner Rumer explained this is a unique request before the Commission. The Phase 2
Plat was approved by the City Commission on May 17, 2011, and the Phase 3 Plat was approved
on September 18, 2012. As a Condition of Approval, each Plat, as well as the Development
Agreement for the Villages of Wesmere PUD, contained a Plat Note requiring that an easement
for the use of pedestrians and bicycles be retained over the paved streets and sidewalks within
the Villages of Wesmere. The purpose of the easement is to allow all students and their
parents/supervisors to travel to and from the public school located nearby. The condition further
requires that the private streets within the Villages of Wesmere remain open 90 minutes before
schools open and 90 minutes after the schools close each day the schools are open for use.
The problem that is occurring is that parents are parking in the privately gated subdivision to
pick up their kids from school which is causing a lot of issues. The City of Ocoee received a
letter from the HOA President requesting that this requirement and condition be removed so that
the community can lock the pedestrian gates 24 hours a day.
City Attorney Cookson announced there are three separate resolutions to delete notes on the
plat. He further read the titles of the resolutions.
Mayor Johnson opened the public hearing.

allowing pedestrian and bicycle access over all internal roadways, sidewalks, and
pedestrian easement areas as shown on the Plat for the Villages of Wesmere.

14. Code Enforcement Reduction of Fine/Lien for Hatley Partners, LLC - 716 Kellys
Cove. (Assistant Director of Support Services Gaines)
Beginning in March 2016, this property was the subject of multiple state, county and municipal law
enforcement actions involving under-cover agent narcotic purchases, raids and subsequent searches. The
impact on the neighborhood and the overall health of the city was extensive, creating an environment of visual
blight and personal fear.The scope of code violations escalated from routine to encompassing criminal activity
as a nuisance and menace to the public health safety and welfare. On March 22, 2016,the Code Enforcement
Board, in Case 16-012, found the property in violation and set a fine of$250.00 per day per violation. An
affidavit of compliance issued on August 12, 2016 signified the end of criminal activity, including drug use,
sales,storage and delivery returning the residential character back to the neighborhood.The Code Enforcement
Board denied a further reduction than allowed by the lien reduction program. Staff supports the recommended
reduced fine of$5,000.
Assistant Director of Support Services Gaines gave a brief history of the case. He further
advised there is a fine/lien in the amount of$58,750.00 associated with the property. The City
Lien Reduction Program formula provides for one of the following:
8IPage
Regular City Commission
October 18, 2016
1. 85%discount of the total fine to $8,813.00,
2. 15% of the property market value according the Property Appraiser,which is $26,061
3. If 1 and 2 is greater than $5,000, which they are,the program caps at $5,000
Hatley Partners LLC is seeking a fine amount lower than the $5,000.00 provided by the City
Lien Reduction Program.
Mayor Johnson shared that he attended the Code Enforcement Board meeting as well as heard
from many residents who are happy to see this resolved. He further shared that he would like to
see the fine brought down to $2,500.00.
Commissioner Grogan inquired what the City's expenses were. Assistant Director of Support
Services Gaines advised that they do not have a breakdown of expenses, but the scope of the
code violations involved years of code and law enforcement action. The Code Enforcement
Board recommended the fine remain at the $5,000 allowed by the Lien Reduction Program.
Brannon Rue, owner of the property, stated he purchased this property, and it took him several
months to have the previous owners removed from the property as well as many unanticipated
legal fees. He appeared before the Code Enforcement Board, and one of the members had
actually entertained a motion for a fine reduction of$2,500, but other members were against it.
He is hoping the City will consider lowering the fine to compensate for the additional costs and
attorney fees he endured as well as his time and efforts that have been put into this property.
Commissioner Wilsen inquired if he would be putting the house back on the market. It was
answered in the affirmative. She further inquired if Mr. Rue was aware of the $58,750.00 lien on
the house. Mr. Rue shared that he was aware there was a Code Enforcement Lien, but was told
that the lien would be reduced tremendously. Commissioner Wilsen shared that she has a
problem reducing it below the $5,000, because City Officials worked hard to get this lien
program in place. Since the inception of the program, they have not seen many reductions come
before them, which shows that the program is working and people are paying their lien off. She
opined that it is not fair to those residents that are paying the liens. Mr. Rue explained he is not
asking for special treatment, but does feel his circumstance is not a typical case. Further
discussion ensued regarding the circumstances of this case for which both Commissioner Keller
and Commissioner Firstner agreed that this case deserves consideration of a reduction.
Commissioner Grogan commented that he felt the circumstances for this case is very common,
because most people that come before them for reductions are investors that purchase homes to
resell them such as Mr. Rue intends to do. He further shared he was in agreeance with
Commissioner Wilsen to retain the fee at $5,000 as allowed by the Lien Reduction Program.
Motion: Move to retain the fine at $5,000 as discounted by the Lien Reduction
Program.
Moved by Commissioner Wilsen, seconded by Commissioner Grogan; Motion
failed 2-3 with Mayor Johnson, Commissioner Firstner, and Commissioner Keller
opposing.
