Legal Description:
All of Block 59 and 60, including the vacated alley in Block 59 and 60, and that part of
N.W. 3rd Avenue bounded on the south by N.W. 7 Street and on the north by N.W. 8th
Street and that part of N.W. 8 Street between N.W. 2nd Avenue and N.W. 4 Avenue,
City of Okeechobee, according to the plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 5, Page 5, of
the Public Records of Okeechobee County, Florida.
General Description:
This is a site plan review for the addition of a new 12,000 square foot feed storage
building to be located in the northwest corner of the property located at 708 NW 2nd
Avenue. This is a long- standing operation with a 17,000+ square foot feed mill
warehouse, paving and vehicular circulation area, an 1,854 square foot office and
,parking area, and areas devoted to drainage. The new building is proposed to be
constructed to the immediate west of the silos and warehouse. It appears that the
parking spaces shown on the site plan formalize how vehicles currently park on the site.
Drainage appears unchanged as a result of the addition of the new storage facility. New
landscaping is proposed along the frontage of NW 2nd Avenue and NW 7th Street
bordering the parking area associated with the office building..

Traffic, Ingress and Egress:
Access will continue to be afforded via NW 2nd Avenue as has been the case in the past.
According to the Eighth Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip
Generation, a warehouse can be expected to generate an average of 3.56 trips per weekday
per 1,000 square feet of floor space. This indicates that an additional 43 trips could be
expected during the weekdays. During the peak hour just under four trips will be generated
by the new facility.

Total for entire project 31 of
which 2 must be spaces reserved for
the handicapped (1 space for each
25 spaces or portion thereof).
Minimum of one tree and three
shrubs per 3,000 square feet of lot
area. If this was an entirely new
site, the requirement would be for
125 trees and 375 shrubs.
However, we believe the land-
scaping requirement should only
apply to the land area associated
with the new facility. This would
include only the northwestern
quadrant of the property (about
325' x 340') encompassing about
110,500 square feet of land area.
Based on this area, 37 trees and
111 shrubs would be required.
Provided
32 spaces provided.
However, only one parking
space is dedicated to the
handicapped.
While some may contend that
there is no need to buffer and
landscape industrial areas near
to railroad tracks or adjacent
to other industrial zoning and
uses, there is no such provi-
sion in the code. Industrial
uses are treated just as any
other uses and must meet the
requirements of Sec. 90 -532.
Only 8 trees and perhaps 60
shrubs are indicated along the
eastern and southern peri-
phery of the office building
parking area.
We recognized that there are
some mature trees in the
southwestern quadrant of the
property immediately south of
the retention area and these
can be counted towards the
requirement. However, there
is no indication as to their
number and the current
proposal does not come close
to meeting the requirement.

Buffers (Sec. 90 -535)
Required
Seven (7) new spaces are required
as a result of the new 12,000 square
foot storage facility. At 18 square
feet per required space 126 square
feet of landscaped area plus 1 tree
per each 72 square feet of required
landscaped area 2 trees
One landscaped island (5' X 15')
for each 10 spaces with a maximum
of 12 uninterrupted spaces in a row.
No island required based only on
the seven additional spaces required
because of the new facility.
Minimum dimension of landscaping
is four feet, except adjacent to
buildings.
Minimum. 2' landscaping between
vehicular use areas and buildings
10' on street frontage; 2' along
other property lines.
There is about 325 feet of frontage
along NW 8 Street and 340 feet of
frontage along unimproved NW 4
Avenue. Therefore, based on 665
linear feet of street frontage
associated with the new storage
facility, there should be about 6,650
square feet of landscaped area along
the roadway frontage.
At 1 tree 3 shrubs /300 sf of
required buffer 22 trees and 67
shrubs.
Trees may be planted in clusters,
but shall not exceed 50' on centers
abutting the street.
Provided
The trees and shrubs proposed
along the periphery of the
parking lot associated with the
office building exceed the
landscaping requirements of
this section of the LDC.
While the number of parking
spaces in this area would
indicate the need for two land-
scaped islands, it is an exist-
ing parking lot and the design
of the lot, with parking
separated into different
"pods does not lend itself to
the need for landscaped
islands.
We believe the existing areas
in the southwest quadrant and
the area to the immediate west
of the proposed facility
provide more than adequate
landscaped buffer area for
the facility.
However, the site plan
includes no indication of
meeting the requirements for
trees and shrubs. The mini-
mum number of required trees
and shrubs is 37 trees and 111
shrubs as calculated previ-
ously under Sec. 90 -532. We
believe these trees and shrubs
should be provided, but their
location and configuration
could vary from that required
if the Applicant submits an
alternative landscape plan as
provided for under Sec. 90-
539.

Other Requirements and Considerations:
Sidewalks (Sec. 78 -36): The Application contains no reference to provision of sidewalks.
While there is no provision in Sec. 78 -36 that excludes industrial uses from the need to
provide sidewalks for property adjoining a city right -of -way, it would seem from a
practical standpoint that neither this site, nor owners, occupants of, or visitors to the imme-
diately surrounding area, would derive any benefit from sidewalks at this location.
Lighting Plan (Sec. 78 -71): The Applicant has not submitted a lighting plan for the
parking area. It appears that the parking area remains essentially the same as before the
proposal to build the new storage facility. If so, it may be that the lot is "grandfathered If
there is substantial modification, then we believe a lighting plan and lighting should be
provided.
Dumpster Location: We were unable to identify a dumpster location on the site plan.
Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval of the site plan provided that (1) an additional parking
space for the handicapped is located on the property; (2) a landscape plan or
alternative landscape plan for the property is submitted incorporating the required
number of trees and bushes; and (3) a suitable dumpster site is identified if
necessary.
