RE: Request to Vacate Parts of NW 7 Ave, and 4th Street, Okeechobee Co., Florida shown on

Dear Kelly:
With reference to your request to vacate the above referenced roadway sections, Embarq does
not object to the vacation of NW 7 Avenue or NW 5 Street as depicted on the attached,
however we do object to vacating the area shown along NW 4th Street from the intersection
with NW 6th Avenue proceeding West along NW 4th Street for a distance of 300'. If you would
lilce,this area to be vacated, we will need to confirm the exact location of the facilities. Our
facilities can potentially be relocated, if there is a conflict, at the cost of the property owner
effectuating the move. Alternatively, if we can remain in place with access to the facilities for
operations, maintenance, upgrades, etc., we can discuss conveyance of an easement over our
facilities. If you have any questions, you can reach me at the number shown below.

Staff Report Application No.: 09- 006-TRCA9- 002-SC
Street Vacation Review Applicant's Name: Okeechobee County BOCC (EOC)
Section 78 -33 of the Land Development Regulations requires the reviewing bodies to find that an
application for vacating rights -of -way meets the following requirements. The Applicant has
provided brief written responses to each of the required findings. For your consideration, the
Applicant's responses are provided in Arial typeface, followed by Staff comments.
1. Proposed vacation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
"Yes, this will afford Okeechobee County to establish connectivity between multiple facilities;
Okeechobee Sheriffs Office, Fire Rescue station #1 and the currently proposed
Okeechobee Emergency Operations Center."
Staff agrees. Both the Public and Industrial Future Land Use Categories contemplate public
uses.
2. Right -of -way to be vacated is not the sole access to any property and the remaining access is
not an easement.
"Correct, Okeechobee County is the sole owner from NW 5 Ave. west to CSX Uptown Spur
and from NW 6 St. south to the unimproved portion of NW 4 Street."
Staff agrees. The requested vacation will not eliminate sole access to any property not
owned by Okeechobee County.
3. Proposed vacation is in the public interest and provides a benefit to the City.
"Yes, these rights -of -ways divide land currently owned by Okeechobee County
which limits their functional use. We are currently proposing to construct the
Okeechobee County Emergency Operations Center and the r -o -w's need to be
vacated for that purpose. Additionally, this vacation request will provide for a "Public
Safety Complex."
Staff agrees. The requested vacation is in the public interest and provides a benefit to the
City in the form of improved countywide emergency operations services.
4. Proposed vacation would not jeopardize the location of any utility.
"Correct, all utility issues have been addressed with the appropriate agencies, see
attached letters and utility sheet. The R. E. Hamrick Trust u/w has agreed to sell the
Trust Revisionary Interest for these two (2) R-O-Ws, see attached vacant land
contract."
Staff agrees, assuming that agreement has been reached with OUA with regard to relocating
the water mains in NW 7th Avenue and in NW 4 Street.

which should at least be 12 feet, the placement of the dumpster, no sidewalk shown on 10th and no lighting plan was submitted.
Mr. Larry Bennett of H.L. Bennet, of LaBelle, Florida addressed the Committee representing the applicant. Mr. Bennett stated all the
issues would be addressed.
Mrs. Linda Bridges, the applicant stated the business across the street had the same type dumpster placement. Mr. Whitehall replied
that is a situation the City is trying to address. Mrs. Bridges also stated she was planning on putting a spot Tight on the pole by the
dumpster. Mr. Brisson interjected, the applicant does not need to supply a lighting plan, but does have to comply with the code.
Mr. Whitehall expressed concem regarding the spotlight and instructed the applicant to make sure this would cause no concem with
the surrounding neighbors or drivers on SR 70.
Mrs. Bridges stated the one -way, 10 foot driveway through the property was for safety and would provide for open space.
Administrator Whitehall then asked for concerns from the Committee:
OUA No issues.
