City Council
Okeechobee, FL 34974
Gentlemen:
SHOP 813 763 -8108
The city clerk's office was courteous enough to give us a copy of
the department heads comments on our request of the closing of that
portion of NE 5th Avenue between Blocks 112 and 113 so that we
could respond to them.
We are willing to cooperate in every regard to do the things
necessary to satisfy your department heads.
First, as to Florida Power & Light, we have already stated that we
would be willing to give an easement as they requested.
As to your public utilities department, we would be willing to
replace the pipe at the proposed expense.
As to your public works department - there is no ditch in the
avenue, it is only a very low area and when excessive rains come
and the water gets high enough, the water then runs into a culvert
on 4th Street. We would be glad to give the city an easement so
that a proper ditch can be installed and maintained, helping drain
the property to the north of these blocks.
We note that Chief Mobley objected because of the possibility of
future needs in the undeveloped area. This avenue has never been
used. Neither has the avenue been used to the immediate north
between blocks 87 and 88. It is open in the next block north, and
leads directly into the property owned by Ranch Fertilizer, zoned
industrial. To open this avenue would give the industrial
businesses in that area another avenue to use through this area.
Our concern was the safety in the area. There were several people
at the recent meeting when the zoning of block 112 was changed.
Their concern was safety. We pointed out to the council that the
traffic is only on 4th street, and to open an avenue that has never
been developed, lying directly between two commercial blocks where

tractors and trailers are kept would seem to be causing a safety
problem. We assured the council and the neighbors we were going to
fence in block 112 for the storage of trailers. It appears to us
to be in the best interest of all citizens to fence in both blocks
and have traffic only come out the south end of blocks 112 and 113
on to N.E. 4th Street.
As stated earlier, we stand ready to cooperate in every way and do
those things necessary to see that each department's concerns are
answered with positive action on our part.
Sincerely,
ohn E. Burdeshaw
