(Utilities Director Smith) The"City of Ocoee—Bluford Avenue Phase 2 Project; Sub Phase A Utilities" calls for a new sanitary sewer extension. The extension is to run west on Franklin Street from Bluford Avenue, crossing under FCEN's railroad track, then turn north on the Kissimmee Avenue right-of-way, and finally turn west on Lee Street to eventually tie on to the existing forcemain within the Ocoee-Apopka Road right-of- way. This extension is a continuation of a new 20" forcemain conveying flow up Bluford Avenue, Lakewood Avenue, and Wurst Road to the Ocoee Reclamation Facility. To obtain permission from FCEN to construct any utilities under their tracks, including a forcemain, the City must enter into a licensing agreement for each application.
