Meeting
REQUEST: Public Works Department Providing the City Commission Information on
the Area around Fruitwood Lake.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to provide additional information on the area
and issues of the area surrounding Fruitwood Lake.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The City has maintained the area around Fruitwood Lake for 15 years or more.
This area was platted to the City in 1974 as were many unbuildable areas in the North
Orlando plats.
The City has been accessing this area for maintenance through drainage easements,
both of which were fenced off about five years. We regularly mow the area as part of the
contract mowing service. Access through the residents yards has become more difficult as
fences deteriorate, gates fall, and residents become less cooperative.
Due to the general public having no access to this area, staff will asking the City
Commission at the February 14 meeting to consider allowing staff to pursue granting this
property to the abutting residents while retaining an easement over the leak.
On a separate but related issue, the Parks Department is conducting a survey of
surrounding residents to evaluate the need and desire to maintain Fruitwood Park as a
pocket park. The park is located at the comer of Fruitwood Avenue and West Panama
Road. The item will also be discussed at the February 14th. It possible that this could be
converted to a buildable lot if so determined.
