City Attorney Will Sexton provided a brief overview of the request to allow a Day Care
Facility in R-2 and the Mediated Settlement Agreement between the City of Ocala and G
& G Holding and Trust, LLC. During the proceeding the two parties granted were able
to come to an agreement on acceptable conditions for the Special Exception.
Fred Roberts, 40 SE 11th Avenue, Ocala, FL, provided a brief overview of the results of
Mediated Settlement Agreement. The hours of operation were set to 6 am and 6 pm, the
dumpster will be screened from view, the trash pick up will take place after 7 am, and a
fence will be installed on the north if a single-family residential dwelling is constructed.
Mr. Carrasco asked about the contact process for the FLUEDRA Special Magistrate
Hearing. Mr. Roberts replied that the City sent the notice by regular mail. Mr. Robert's
office sent a letter that was registered and returned. An additional letter was sent through
Fedex and the letter was refused.
Mr. Hartley asked about the vacant land on the north side. Mr. Robert's replied it's a
vacant wooded lot and if it's developed, a fence will be installed.
Anthony Collins, 1425 NW 16th Court, Ocala, FL, said he did not know the origin of the
letter because he receives everything from the state by regular mail. Mr. Collins stated
that he does not have an option to move and the daycare will increase traffic, noise, and
the property values will go down.
Mr. Carrasco stated there was no excuse for Mr. Collin's not being present at the
FLUEDRA Special Magistrate Hearing when everyone else was able to attend.
Mr. Collins asked if the days of operation were Monday through Friday or Sunday. Mr.
Sexton replied Monday through Friday for the daycare.
Motion to approve SE23-45207 adding the days of operation 1f. and deleting 1i.
condition in its entirety.
