AIM - - • d i i i r II. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT i i i r II. EXISTING LAND USE DATA BASE A. INTRODUCTION Section 9J-5. 006, Florida Administrative Code, requires local governments to prepare an existing land use data base which will include the following: 1. A generalized existing land use map or map series displaying: a. residential use; b. commercial use; c. industrial use; d. agricultural use; e. recreational use; f. conservation use; g. educational use; h. public buildings and grounds and other public facilities; .. i. vacant or undeveloped land; j . historic resources; and k. generalized land use of adjacent boundaries. as 2 . The following natural resources will be displayed on the existing land use map or map series: a. existing and planned waterwells and cones of influence, where they exist; b. beaches and shores, including estuarine systems; c. rivers, bays, lakes, floodplains, and harbors; d. wetlands; and e. minerals and soils. 3 . Approximate acreage and the general range of density or intensity of use displayed in tabular form for the gross land area of the jurisdiction. 4. Identification of any areas of critical state concern within the jurisdiction or immediately adjacent to its boundaries. 5. Population projections, as provided by the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research. The existing land use data base, following, responds to the requirements of Section 9J-5. 006, Florida Administrative Code. The information provided should be sufficient to allow local government to proceed with subsequent planning tasks. mis II-1 B. EXISTING LAND USE To identify City of Okeechobee land uses and land use ., patterns, Central Florida Regional Planning Council staff members conducted a field survey in January, 1988. During this survey, data was gathered for those land use categories outlined in Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code, as listed in Section A. 1. , above. A map of the existing land uses for the City of Okeechobee is included as Map 1, following. ale Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code, also requires that natural resources, as listed in Section A. 2 . above, be displayed on the existing land use map or map series where they exist. Natural resources such as lakes, rivers and bays are displayed on Map 1, referenced above. The only notable water body located in the City of Okeechobee is Taylor Creek. This creek flows in a southerly direction through ,m. the City where it eventually empties into Lake Okeechobee. The most important natural resource when planning for any area is the land itself. Characteristics of the land can be conducive to, or prohibitive of, development activity. Maps 2 and 3, following, indicate the generalized soil and topographic features of the City of Okeechobee. m• C. APPROXIMATE ACREAGE AND GENERAL RANGE OF DENSITY OR INTENSITY OF USE ris In addition to a generalized land use map, Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code requires a table displaying the approximate acreage and general range of •" density or intensity of use for the gross land area within each existing land use category. A summary of the land use composition is displayed in Table 1, following.

Residential land use: Residential land use occupies approximately 514 acres of developed lands in the City of Okeechobee. A housing survey conducted by CFRPC staff revealed 1,797 housing units indicating a density of approximately 0.286 acres per dwelling unit. 2. Commercial land use: Commercial land use occupies approximately 125 acres of developed lands in the City of Okeechobee. This use represents 5.1% of the total land use for the City. 3. Industrial land use: Approximately 41 acres within the City of Okeechobee are industrial lands. These lands are located primarily along the Seaboard Coastline Railroad and are largely unused at the present time. 4. Agricultural/vacant land use: Approximately 972 acres (40.2%) of lands within the City of Okeechobee are currently vacant or being used for agricultural purposes. These lands represent a significant resource in terms of ® planning for future growth within the City of Okeechobee. 5. Recreational land use: The City of Okeechobee offers approximately 210 acres of recreational land use, including school facilities, boat ramps, passive open space areas, a public swimming pool, tennis courts, and other similar facilities. In addition, most of Okeechobee County' s recreation facilities are in close proximity to the City of Okeechobee. This is a highly practical approach as the majority of the county population is within the City or .mm on the urban fringe. II-6 6. Educational, institutional, and other public buildings and grounds (including roads) : Public facilities, including roads, represent approximately 530 acres (21. 9%) of developed lands within the City of Okeechobee. These acres also include schools, churches, government buildings, and medical facilities. ,,. 7. Land use of adjacent boundaries: The land uses immediately adjacent to the city limits of Okeechobee are very similar to those of the City. Commercial uses continue along the arterials east, west, north, and south of the City. A mixture of residential uses and vacant lots are scattered along the City's boundaries. The southwest boundary is primarily single family, as is the southeast '• boundary. The northeast and northwest boundaries are a mixture of single-family residences and open space. D. AREAS OF CRITICAL STATE CONCERN There are currently no areas designated as an Area of Critical State Concern, pursuant to Section 380.05, Florida Statutes, within the City of Okeechobee or Okeechobee County. However, the Kissimmee River Resource Planning and Management Committee was formed on September 12, 1984 to adopt, implement, and monitor a Resource Management Plan for the lower Kissimmee River/Taylor Creek-Nubbin Slough area, as an alternative to Area of Critical State Concern designation. The Committee officially completed its requirements in December 1987. The major work product to come out of the Committee was the Resource Management Plan for the Lower Kissimmee River and Taylor Creek Drainage «. Basin, adopted August 21, 1985. The Committee, which has chosen to remain active until December 1988, is seeking state, regional, and local cooperation to assure implementation of its resource management plan. E. POPULATION PROJECTIONS Between 1970 and 1984, Florida's population increased more than sixty percent (60%) . Florida, as well as other sunbelt states, continues to show one of the highest growth rates in the nation. By the year 2000, the population of the State of Florida is expected to be more than twice the 1970 population. The Central Florida Planning Region, which includes the City of Okeechobee and Okeechobee County, is the fifth fastest growing region in the state with a 43 . 2 percent increase in population between 1970 and 1980 and an 11. 3 percent increase between 1980 and 1984 . Of the five counties in the region, Okeechobee showed the largest rate of increase (80. 4%) between 1970 and 1980. A 1985 estimated population of 24 , 545 indicates an increase of 21. 12 percent between 1980 and 1985. SIM II-7 Table 2, following, indicates population projections for Okeechobee County. All indications point to continued increases in the population of Okeechobee County and the City of Okeechobee.

Okeechobee County has chosen to use the high population projections provided by the University of Florida as the best indicator of the County's future. The rationale for this choice will be provided when the City of Okeechobee prepares an analysis of the data collected over the next year. .r art II-8 LIST OF SOURCES SECTION II Section 9J-5. 006, Florida Administrative Code.

INTRODUCTION Section 9J-5. 007, Florida Administrative Code, requires local governments to prepare an existing traffic circulation data base which will include the following: 1. An existing traffic circulation map, or map series, displaying: a. collector roads; b. arterial roads; c. limited access facilities; and — d. ports, airports, rail lines, high speed rail lines, and related facilities. 2 . Utilization of Florida Department of Transportation roadway functional classifications on the existing traffic circulation map or map series. 3 . Identification of the number of lanes for each roadway on the existing traffic circulation map or map series. ,. 4. Most recent available average daily traffic counts. 5. Most recent available accident data. The existing traffic circulation data base, following, responds to the requirements of Section 9J-5. 007, Florida Administrative Code. The information provided should be •• sufficient to allow local government to proceed with subsequent planning tasks. B. EXISTING TRAFFIC CIRCULATION NETWORK 1. Roads: Map 4, following, indicates the existing traffic circulation network in the City of Okeechobee. The City of Okeechobee is served by a number of streets and highways grouped according to the type of service they are intended to provide. For purposes of definition, the following Department of Transportation Highway Functional Classifications are used: Arterial roads: Arterial roads are designed to accommodate major traffic flows between cities and/or states. They are designed to handle relatively high speeds. The principal arterial system includes both interstate and intrastate arteries and provides an integrated network without stub connections. The minor arterial system provides service to corridors with greater travel density and trip lengths than collector and local road systems. It links cities and provides inter-county service.

Major collectors provide service to a larger town or to other .. traffic generators such as schools or shopping centers. Minor collects funnel traffic from local roads, connect developed cities within a reasonable distance, and link important traffic generators with rural areas. Local roads: The primary function of the local road network is to provide access to adjacent land and to provide service to travel over relatively short distances. The City of Okeechobee existing transportation network is composed primarily of a system of minor arterials and local roads, the two primary arterials are Parrott Avenue and Park Street. Parrott Avenue (U.S. 441; U.S. 98) is a four-laned arterial running in a north-south direction .. through the center of the City. Park Avenue (S.R. 70) is a four-laned arterial running in an east-west direction through the City. The majority of commercial activity in the City of Okeechobee is along these two arterials. The City of Okeechobee is also served by a major system of local roads.

The existing ports, aviation, and related facilities data base, following, responds to the requirements of Section 9J-5. 009, Florida Administrative Code. The information provided should be sufficient to allow local government to proceed with subsequent planning tasks. a. B. DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES There are no ports within the City of Okeechobee or Okeechobee County. As a result, this data base addresses only aviation facilities. Okeechobee County has one public airport, classified by the Federal Aviation Administration as a General Utility Airport having a general aviation service level. The Okeechobee County Airport consists of 852 acres located one and one-half miles northwest of the City of Okeechobee. A .. general location map of the Okeechobee County Airport is included as Map 6. The facility is located adjacent to the northwestern boundary of the City of Okeechobee. gill The two functional categories of existing airport facilities at the Okeechobee County Airport are the airfield and the building areas. The existing airfield consists of two intersecting runways numbered 4/22 and 13/31. Runway 4/22 is 150 feet wide and 5, 000 feet long. Runway 13/31 is 100 feet wide and 4, 000 feet long. Both runways are of ••• asphalt construction with a design strength of 30, 000 pounds. Runway 4/22 has medium intensity runway lighting (MIRL) and is in excellent condition with the exception of the first 1, 000 feet which is in poor condition. Runway 13/31 has no runway lighting and is in good condition. A diagram of the existing airport is included as Map 7. a. IV-1 ST . L U C I E C O U N T Y — _ T I N_VAR C O U N T Y —.

SCALE IN FEET N i .r Airport drainage is achieved through a system of storm sewers, culverts, swales and ditches which flow to the southeast corner of the airport and empty into existing county drainage systems which eventually outlet into Taylor mo Creek. According to the Master Plan for Okeechobee County Airport, prepared in January 1987, all aspects of the airport's drainage system are in need of repair and/or .. maintenance. All of the Okeechobee County Airport's buildings are 8,,,, located in the northwest quadrant of the airport as indicated by Map 8. The facilities located at the airport include a general aviation building office about 300 square feet in size, a parking area adequate for about 16 cars, and "" a double hangar which houses Okeechobee Aircraft and Engine Service. ,.r The City of Okeechobee provides water for the airport, • to supplement existing wells at the airport site. The airport's wastewater is treated by septic tanks and solid waste collection and disposal is provided by L. P. a" Sanitation. The existing clear zone for Runway 4 is contained .. entirely within the airport boundary and the area is free from obstruction. The approach is over agricultural land, primarily pasture. dm The outer limits of the existing clear zone for Runway 22 extend approximately 175 feet outside the airport property boundary. The only obstruction present is a "' drainage ditch on the airport boundary. The approach is over a residential area. .. Approximately 150 feet of the northwestern corner of the clear zone for Runway 13 extends beyond airport property. The entire clear zone is free from obstruction and the approach is over a residential area. moi The entire clear zone for Runway 31 is contained on airport property and free from obstructions with an approach over a mixed residential/industrial area.

HOUSING ELEMENT OOP IMO dal V. HOUSING DATA BASE A. INTRODUCTION Section 9J-5.010, Florida Administrative Code, requires local governments to prepare a housing data base which will include the following: 1. An inventory, from the latest United States Census or more recent estimates, including the number of dwelling units by: a. type of unit; b. age of unit; vie c. number of owner/renter occupied units; d. average value of owner-occupied units; and e. average monthly costs of renter-occupied units. 2 . A generalized description of housing characteristics including: a. units lacking complete plumbing, kitchen, or heating facilities; b. number of overcrowded units; c. locally determined definition of standard and substandard housing conditions; d. structural condition inventory indicating generalized location of substandard housing. 3 . A narrative of the methodology used to determine housing condition. 4 . Location, type of program, and size of subsidized rental housing developments. 5. An inventory of existing mobile home parks, recreational vehicle parks, and group homes licensed by the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. 6. An inventory of mobile home subdivisions. 7. An inventory of historically significant housing. 8 . An inventory of building permit activity since 1980, if available. The housing data base, following responds to the requirements of Section 9J-5. 010, Florida Administrative Code. The information provided should be sufficient to allow local government to proceed with subsequent planning tasks. V-1 B. EXISTING HOUSING STOCK The City of Okeechobee did not have the population required, at the time of the 1980 Census, to allow for statistical analysis separate from Okeechobee County. As a result, for purposes of this data base, it is assumed that the characteristics of the Okeechobee County housing stock are representative of the characteristics of the City of Okeechobee housing stock in terms of housing type, age, owner/renter costs, value, and units lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. Building permit activity for the City was provided by the City-County Building and Zoning Department. 1. Household type and tenure: According to the 1986 Florida Statistical Abstract and the 1980 Census of the . United States, there were 8,276 dwelling units in Okeechobee County, 6,981 of which were occupied. Of the occupied dwelling units, 4,912 (70.4%) were owner-occupied. The majority of the population of Okeechobee County (88.6%) lived in a family household type in 1980. Of the remaining population, 9. 3% lived in a non-family household type and 2 . 1% lived in group quarters. 2. Housing unit age: Of Okeechobee County's 8,276 housing units, 54.0% (4,492) have been built since 1970. Only 5.0% (416) were built prior to 1939. The table below indicates the number of units built in each time frame and the percentage of total housing units represented. """' Table 6 Housing Unit Age Okeechobee County Year Built Pre 1939 1940-49 1950-59 1960-69 1970 + # of units 416 348 872 2 , 194 4, 492 % of total 5. 0% 4.2% 10.5% 26.4% 54 . 0% 3. Renter and owner monthly costs: The median monthly .. renter costs in Okeechobee County was $213 . 00 in 1980. The median monthly owner costs in Okeechobee County was $276. 00 4. Housing unit value: The median value of non- condominium housing in Okeechobee County was $34 ,900. V-2 a 5. Physical characteristics of housing units: Of the 6,981 occupied housing units in Okeechobee County, 180 (2 . 6%) lack complete plumbing facilities for exclusive use, 173 (2 . 5%) lack complete kitchen facilities, and 384 (5.5%) have no heating equipment. 6. Building permit activity: In 1985, the City of Okeechobee and Okeechobee County entered into an agreement consolidating all planning functions. The Okeechobee County Building and Zoning Department now serves both Okeechobee County and the City of Okeechobee. As a result, building permit activity is only available for the City of Okeechobee for 1985-86 and 1986-87. The table following outlines building permit activity since 1985. TABLE 7 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE BUILDING PERMIT ACTIVITY 1985-1987 Type of Permit Fiscal Year Single-Family Multi-Family Commercial Mobile Home 1985-86 29 4 18 14 1986-87 24 3 8 10 Source: Okeechobee County; Department of Building and Zoning; Annual Report of Building Permit Activity (1985-1987) . As can be seen, building permit activity for each type 0" of permit examined declined slightly between fiscal year 1985-86 and 1986-87. The majority of the growth activity occurring in Okeechobee County is taking place outside the boundaries of the City of Okeechobee. Building permit activity for the early months of 1988 indicate a continuation of the trend of recent years. Table 8, below, outlines building permit activity from December 1987 to April 1988.

STRUCTURAL CONDITION OF EXISTING HOUSING STOCK The analysis of structural conditions of housing in the City of Okeechobee will be based on the results of the Central Florida Regional Planning Council housing survey conducted in early 1988, noting the exterior structural condition of the City's housing stock. During the housing survey, residential structures were classified by their structural condition as being either sound, deteriorating, or dilapidated. It should be noted that no substantial structural difference exists between the housing in the ma County and in the City of Okeechobee. Those dwelling units which showed no major defects were a" classified as being sound. Minor defects, such as the need for exterior painting were not considered to be a significant environmental or structural defect. dr Structures in need of repair other than routine maintenance were considered to be deteriorating while structures that appeared to be beyond corrective maintenance were considered to be dilapidated. Structures in a deteriorating or dilapidated condition were perceived to be substandard and indicated as such during the housing survey. aft It should be noted, however, that many interior housing characteristics which could not be observed during a housing survey are also indicative of substandard housing. As a result, substandard conditions may exist in the City which are not reflected in the housing survey. Map 1, in the Land Use Element, indicates the generalized location of substandard housing in the City of Okeechobee. The housing survey conducted by the Central Florida .. Regional Planning Council revealed the following information about the City of Okeechobee's existing housing stock: Type of Housing Total Units % of Total Al = Single-Family, Good Condition 1, 046 75.4% A2 = Single-Family, Fair Condition 281 A3 = Single-Family, Poor Condition 28 ,., B1 = Multi-Family, Good Condition 162 14. 5% B2 = Multi-Family, Fair Condition 99 B3 = Multi-Family, Poor Condition 0 Cl = Mobile Home, Good Condition 161 10. 1% C2 = Mobile Home, Fair Condition 20 C3 = Mobile Home, Poor Condition 0 Total 1, 797 100. 0% aro V-4 •�• A more detailed description of each of the housing classifications can be found in D. METHODOLOGY, below. Map 10, following, summarizes the findings of the housing survey. vii The housing survey revealed 1,797 units. An allowance for a 5% acceptable margin of error appears to offer a realistic assessment of the City's existing housing stock. D. METHODOLOGY To characterize the City of Okeechobee's housing stock more accurately than the 1980 census data allows, Central Florida Regional Planning Council staff members conducted a " ' housing survey in February, 1988. The purpose of this survey was to determine an estimate of the number of residential structures in the City, the types of structures �•• available, and the external condition of the structures. A code was established for purposes of locating each structure on a base map. The established code is detailed below: 111N Residential Structure Type: A = Single-family residential structure B = Multi-family residential structure C = Mobile home; single and double wide .. Residential External Condition 1 = Structure in good physical condition with no obvious need for repairs noted; minor defects, such as the need for exterior painting, were not considered to be a significant environmental or structural defect. .. 2 = Structure exhibits an obvious structural or environmental defect; included in this category were structures that showed a significant deterioration or number of deteriorations. Severe roof damage, rotting pillars and crumbling steps or porches are examples of such deterioration. Also included in this category were structures, either mobile home or conventional '°' dwelling, which were supported on blocks with no underpinning. ,., 3 = Structure exhibits a number of structural or environmental defects suggesting a condition beyond corrective maintenance; included in this category were structures in a dilapidated condition as well as abandoned structures in a state of decay. This code allowed for nine (9) possible .. classifications. V-5 ■ at ■ ■• 3w�nr anu 1S Mlil v3 �.

In any survey, there is a statistical margin of error. ,,,,, Typically, a five percent (5%) error is acceptable. This allows for such human elements as missing a dwelling unit or incorrect classification of some observations. In addition, the classification of housing units based solely on physical appearance is largely subjective. In order to reduce this subjectivity, the classifications based on the housing survey were correlated with 1980 Census data and more recent building permit activity as well as the 1986 Statistical Abstract for the State of Florida. E. SUBSIDIZED RENTAL HOUSING The City of Okeechobee has one regulated rental development managed by U.S. Shelter under Farmer's Home Administration guidelines. This development is: Tanglewood Apartments 420 N.W. 9th Street Okeechobee, FL 33472 Telephone: (813) 467-2079 The development contains twenty-six two and three bedroom apartments. In addition, there is one group home that offers subsidized rentals. This development is: Okeechobee Rehabilitation Group Home N.W. 6th Street Okeechobee, FL 33472 The number of units available in this home is 16; 8 for men and 8 for women. It is handled through the Okeechobee Resource Service and is privately owned. The Okeechobee Rehabilitation Group Home is subsidized through Section 8, 202 Direct Loan and targeted toward the handicapped. The aim state of Florida sponsors a number of housing programs.

SANITARY SEWER, SOLID WASTE, DRAINAGE, POTABLE WATER, AND NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE DATA BASE A. INTRODUCTION Section 9J-5. 011, Florida Administrative Code, requires local governments to prepare a sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, and natural groundwater aquifer recharge data base which will include the following: 1. An inventory of sewage treatment facilities and service areas. 2 . An inventory of refuse collection and disposal �,. facilities, solid waste facilities, landfills. 3 . An inventory of water treatment facilities and service areas. 4 . An inventory of natural and man-made drainage features and facilities. 5. An inventory of natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas including existing regulations and programs controlling development and protection of recharge areas. The sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, and natural groundwater aquifer recharge data base, following, responds to the requirements of Section 9J-5.011, Florida Administrative Code. The information provided should be sufficient to allow local government to proceed with subsequent planning tasks. B. SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES The City of Okeechobee presently operates a sewage treatment plant on a 400 acre site leased from the State of �,. Florida. The plant is a primary and secondary activated sludge process plant with chlorination treating approximately 500,000 gallons per day. The plant has a design capacity of 600, 000 gallons per day. The biological oxygen demand removal averages 96 percent and the suspended solids removal averages 90 percent. This meets the 90 percent minimum removal standard adopted by the Florida Water Pollution Control Agency. The effluent is spray irrigated over an open pasture located at the plant site. Effluent is scheduled to be irrigated over neighboring pasture. The solids are then spread on the same site. The City of Okeechobee is in the process of securing monies necessary to expand the plant design to a capacity of 1. 8 million gallons per day. This expansion, targeted for completion by 1991, should be sufficient to serve the City' s demands through the year 2010. Map 11, following, indicates the service area of the existing facility.

The plant has a capacity of 200, 000 gallons per day and is operating well below capacity. The effluent is piped to the City plant for spray irrigation over open pasture on site. In addition to these two facilities, package plants are in operation outside the City limits at the Okeechobee County Senior High School, Taylor Creek Isles, Pine Ridge Mobile Park, McArthur Park Apartments, the Okee-Tantie Recreation Area, the Town and Country Mobile Home Park, the Big "0" Campground, American Adventure, and King's Bay. AIM The remaining residents of the City of Okeechobee and Okeechobee County are served by septic tanks located on dill site. Septic tank systems are usually used to serve single housing units located outside the service area of sewage treatment plants. C. REFUSE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL Solid waste collection and disposal services for Okeechobee County are provided by L. P. Sanitation, which is owned by Waste Management Corporation, a national company. Approximately 3,500 customers are using this service, „IN including several large dairy farms. Okeechobee County operates a sanitary landfill on the southeastern county line, approximately thirteen miles east "" of the City of Okeechobee. The total area of the site is approximately 320 acres with 80 acres being used for the landfill. It is anticipated that this site will be dill. sufficient to serve Okeechobee County through the year 2020. D. WATER TREATMENT FACILITIES The City of Okeechobee owns and operates a water treatment plant which provides potable water to the urbanized areas in the southern section of the County. The current demand on the water treatment plant is 2,200, 000 gallons per day. The plant has a design capacity of 2 ,800, 000 gallons per day. The water distribution system is also supported by two 250, 000 gallon overhead storage tanks. The plant is currently operating at 80% of capacity. The City of Okeechobee closed a bond in August 1987 to expand the plant capacity to 5, 000, 000 gallons per day by 1991. This expansion should be sufficient to meet all City demands through the year 2010.

At present, the Okeechobee Beach Water Association purchases approximately 440, 000 gallons per day from the City and serves approximately 2,950 customers. Treated water is piped from the City facility to the — Okeechobee Beach Water Association facility on State Road 78. The water is then stored in overhead storage tanks until it is distributed. The contract between the City and the Water Association allows for the purchase of up to AIM 750, 000 gallons per day. The Eckerd Youth Development Center operates a water treatment plant with a 180,000 gallon per day capacity. The Development Center also treats water from two deep wells (800 to 1,000 feet) . The treatment consists of aeration for 00 removal of sulfides and iron. E. DRAINAGE The remainder of Okeechobee County residents receive their water from shallow wells. A map of Okeechobee County's surface water drainage basins follows as Map 13 . The City of Okeechobee is located wholly within the Lake Okeechobee integrated drainage basin. There are two major regional integrated drainage basins in the county. The St. Johns basin is located in the southeastern corner of the county and the Kissimmee River Basin encompasses the shore of the river and inland several "' miles. The Lake Okeechobee basin is composed of small local streams draining into the lake. There is also disjointed drainage. These areas may drain into surrounding basins or into the sea through marshes, swamps or the subsurface. Man-made systems of drainage, such as roadside ditches or curb and gutter systems, also exist in the County. Okeechobee County currently has four mechanisms for governing the land use and development of natural drainage features. These mechanisms are: 1. Okeechobee County Zoning Ordinance, adopted March 28, 1974 and amended in 1985 to govern both Okeechobee County and the City of Okeechobee. 2 . Okeechobee County Subdivision Ordinance, adopted in 1979 to govern the platting and subdividing of unincorporated areas, and to set road and drainage standards for new development. 3 .

F. NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE AREAS Okeechobee County and the City of Okeechobee are underlain by the Floridan Aquifer, although there is virtually no recharge to the aquifer within Okeechobee County. The thick limestones of the Floridan Aquifer provide all of the state, except the southern fringe, with ground water. Along much of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Ain areas, the aquifer contains highly mineralized water. The Floridan Aquifer includes many layers of limestones from different geologic ages. In some areas the aquifer is exposed at the surface, but over much of the state it lies beneath several hundred feet of sandy sediments. .. The thick semipermeable beds which overlie the aquifer, except in the aquifer's outcrop areas, restrict the upward movement of water and cause the aquifer to have artesian pressure. The altitude to which water will rise in artesian wells generally ranges from a few feet above mean sea level in areas near the coast, to more than 130 feet above mean sea level in Polk County. In southern Florida, along coastal areas, and in low stream valleys, the artesian pressure is sufficient to cause wells to flow. However, in some areas of heavy water withdrawal such as eastern Duval County and southern Bay County, the water level has been lowered below sea level. Water in the central and southern Floridan aquifer is replenished by rainfall; from the central part of the state in northern Florida the aquifer is recharged by rainfall from southern Alabama and Georgia. Some replenishment in �. central Florida occurs where the confining material is breached by sink holes. Wells developed in the Floridan Aquifer vary in size, depth, and yield. Domestic wells are usually at least two inches in diameter and the large municipal and industrial wells may be thirty or more inches in diameter. The depth of wells ranges from about fifty feet to more than 1, 000 feet depending on the local geologic and hydrologic conditions and the yield required. The yield of wells developed in the Floridan aquifer ranges from a few gallons per minute for small diameter VI-7 wells to several thousand gallons per minute for some of the large diameter industrial wells. The amount of water that can be produced in controlled by the diameter of the well, the capacity of the pump, and the hydrologic properties of 0. the aquifer. The City of Okeechobee currently has no ordinances specificially addressing the development and/or protection of recharge areas.

An inventory of current water needs and sources. w The conservation data base, following, responds to the requirements of Section 9J-5. 013, Florida Administrative Code. The information provided should be sufficient to dri allow local government to proceed with subsequent planning tasks. B. FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCALLY DESIGNATED CONSERVATION AREAS According to Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. , conservation uses refer to "activities within land areas designated for the purpose of conserving or protecting natural resources or environmental quality and includes areas designated for such purposes as flood control, protection of quality or quantity of groundwater or surface water, floodplain management, fisheries management, or protection of vegetative ..� communities or wildlife habitats. " For purposes of this data base, conservation areas were confined to those areas designated for one of the purposes outlined above. There were no such designations within the City of Okeechobee, however, several sites in Okeechobee County are identified conservation areas as described. 1. Ordway-Whittell Kissimmee Prairie Sanctuary (National Audubon Society) : This area is approximately 7, 500 acres located 30 miles north of the City of Okeechobee. It is an area of oak-palm hammocks scattered VII-1 within a mosaic of dry prairie, ponds, and sloughs. This sanctuary supports native Florida wildlife including sandhill cranes, caracaras, burrowing owls, and alligators. A full-time Audubon warden patrols the sanctuary and surrounding areas. 2. Lake Okeechobee: Lake Okeechobee serves as the principle nesting ground of the endangered Everglade Kite. This area also supports a wading bird concentration and several tracts on the northwest shore (Glades County) are served by a full-time Audubon warden. In addition, the lake " is Class 1 potable surface water as classified by the Department of Environmental Regulation. 3. Kissimmee Prairie Audubon Sanctuary Conservation Easement: The Florida Field Office of the Nature Conservancy owns an approximately 300 acre conservation easement leading from U.S. Highway 441 to the Kissimmee amp Prairie Audubon Sanctuary holding. 4. Florida National Scenic Trail: The .. Everglades/Okeechobee section of the Florida National Scenic Trail is 15.7 miles of trail on public (South Florida Water Management District) and private land in Okeechobee County. 5. Kissimmee River Restoration Project: A 33, 000 acre corridor through parts of Okeechobee, Polk, Osceola, and Highlands Counties is being conducted by the South Florida Water Management District through the Save Our Rivers Program in an effort to reestablish the natural values of the Kissimmee River. Over 100 miles of meandered Kissimmee mw River were converted into a 50 mile canal during the 1960 's, resulting in changes in water quality and land use, and wildlife habitat/populations. 6. Paradise Run: This is a 4,800 acre project in portions of Okeechobee and Glades Counties that is part of the restoration and management of the Kissimmee River. The .. restoration of water volumes and natural flow into cutoff portions of the Kissimmee River and adjacent floodplains will enhance opportunities for fishing, wildlife habitat and boating. C. NATURAL RESOURCES ""' The conservation and use of natural resources is a political and an economic issue, therefore, access to and allocation of natural resources is largely controlled by ,.e economic and political concerns. Effective natural resource conservation mechanisms result in the wise use or careful management of resources generating the maximum possible social benefits from them. Public awareness of the decline in natural resources is one of the first steps in developing VII-2 programs targeting their preservation. Although the resources discussed below are not necessarily within the City of Okeechobee, development within the City can impact the resource. As a result, it is important that the City be .. aware of existing natural resources. 1. Rivers: The only river in Okeechobee County is the AI„ Kissimmee River which originates in the southern outskirts of Orlando, in Orange County. The headwaters of the Kissimmee River are made up of Shingle Creek and Reedy Creek. These are sluggish streams that travel through '"' swampy land emptying into Lake Tohopekaliga and then Cypress Lake. The river then continues flowing southward through two more lakes and 150 miles of lowlands consisting of .im rangeland, agricultural lands and wetlands to its mouth at Lake Okeechobee. The Arbuckle Creek drainage area, which forms the western edge of the Kissimmee River basin begins near Reedy Lake in Polk County. This lake drains through Reedy Creek and Livingston Creek to Lake Arbuckle southward to Lake Istokpoga. The Istakpoga Canal connects Lake Istokpoga to the Kissimmee River 35 miles above Lake -� Okeechobee. Several tributaries to the Kissimmee River, and other streams, including Taylor Creek and Nubbin Slough, also flow through Okeechobee County. 2. Lakes: The only lake in Okeechobee County is Lake Okeechobee, which forms the County's southern boundary. Lake Okeechobee encompasses 727 square miles. The lake receives drainage from numerous sources in the Kissimmee River basin, including the Kissimmee River, Indian Prairie Canal, Fisheating Creek, and the Taylor Creek/Nubbin Slough area. The primary land use adjacent to the northeast edge of the lake is dairy farming. Land use south of the lake is intensive row crop farming of sugar cane and vegetables. There are also some citrus groves and wetlands in this area. Urbanization in this basin is minimal. On the south end of Lake Okeechobee, a levee some 85 miles long allows for nearly total control of lake elevation through a system of gates and pumps connecting the 6 major flood control canals. Water quality problems in the north end of the lake �., include elevated phosphorus and coliform concentrations, and in the south part of the lake increased nutrients and pesticides problems are caused by back pumping. Consequently, at different locations and different season of rainfall or drought, the lake receives varying amounts of nutrient, BOD, bacteria and toxic materials. The southern portion of the lake has shown a trend of increasing •W nutrients. In the last 10 years, there has been a campaign to increase awareness and protection of lake water quality. At a recent workshop, the South Florida Water Management mo VII-3 District emphasized the need to intensify enforcement of Best Management Practices designed for farmers to decrease the amount of nutrient loading from cattle waste entering the lake. They also adopted policies to decrease the need for back pumping during dry seasons by decreasing water usage upstream. .. 3. Bays: Eagle Bay is located on the north central edge of Lake Okeechobee. This is the only bay in the County 4. Wetlands: Wetlands exist in Okeechobee County and are generally undisturbed. They support a variety of plant and animal life, as can be seen in the discussion following. mo The following analysis was taken almost exclusively from Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States, prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and wildlife Service in 1979: Wetlands are generally defined as lands where saturation with water is the dominant factor determining the nature of soil development and the type of plant and animal communities living in the soil and on its surface. The single feature that most wetlands share is soil or substrate that is at least periodically saturated with or covered by water. The water creates severe physiological problems for all plants and animals except those that are adopted for life in water or saturated soil. Of the five major wetlands systems (Marine, Estuarine, Riverine, Lacustrine, and Palustrine) , three are evident in Okeechobee County. The Riverine System is defined as including all wetlands and deepwater habitats contained within a channel. A channel is an open conduit, either naturally or artificially created, which periodically or continuously contains moving water, or which forms a connecting link between two bodies of standing water. The Kissimmee River and its floodplain would be classified as part of the Riverine System. The river bottom is composed primarily of sand and mud constituting an unconsolidated bottom. The shore is also composed of unconsolidated materials including sand, mud, organic, materials, and some vegetation. The dominant species supported by this system include the mayfly, freshwater mollusk, sewage worm, crayfish, cocklebur, and horse tail. The Lacustrine System is defined as including permanently flooded lakes and reservoirs, intermittent lakes, and tidal lakes. Where a river enters a lake, such VII-4 ar as the Kissimmee River emptying into Lake Okeechobee, the extension of the Lacustrine shoreline forms the Riverine - Lacustrine boundary. Lake Okeechobee and its shoreline would be classified as part of the Lacustrine system. The lake has an aquatic bed of aquatic moss, algae, rooted vascular vegetation and floating vegetation. The lake shore is primarily of unconsolidated materials including sand, mud, organic materials, and vegetation. The dominant species supported by this system include stonewort, moss, widgeon grass, duckweed, leech, freshwater mollusk, pond snail, midge larvae, and goosefoot. The Palustrine System is defined as including vegetated wetlands traditionally referred to as marsh, swamp, bog, fen, and prairie. These types of wetlands are found throughout the United States. This category also included permanent or intermittent ponds. This type of wetland supports a variety of plant and animal life depending upon the characteristics of the wetland area. Map 14, following, identifies wetland and deepwater habitats in Okeechobee County. A narrative discussion of each identified habitat is provided in F. , following of this section. D. FLOODPLAINS Flood hazard area maps of Okeechobee County indicate that less than one-fourth of the County's lands are elevated above Zone A flood hazard zones. Okeechobee County floodplain information is available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Flood Insurance Program. Additional information may be obtained by calling 1-800-638-6620. Map 15, following, indicates flood prone areas. E. COMMERCIALLY VALUABLE MINERALS The only mineral resources noted in Okeechobee County are sand and sand with clay and kaolin. F. SOIL EROSION PROBLEMS "i` According to the Okeechobee County Soil Conservation Service, there are no areas of severe soil erosion in the County. This is due primarily to the flat terrain and dense .. surface vegetation found in the County. Soil erosion sometimes occurs, however, when land is cleared for development or agricultural purposes and left without surface vegetation for extended time periods or during dry, windy weather.

MAP 15 G. FISHERIES, WILDLIFE, MARINE HABITATS, AND VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) , a joint .. program of the Florida Department of Natural Resources and private, non-profit funding, has developed and classified 81 natural communities that have been identified as collectively constituting the original, natural biological associations of Florida. A natural community is described, by the FNAI, as "a distinct and reoccurring assemblage of populations of plants, animals, and fungi naturally associated with each other and their environment. " Natural communities are characterized and defined by a combination of appearance, vegetation structure and composition, topography, and soils. They are named for their most characteristic biological or physical feature. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Commission has identified five major vegetative communities in Okeechobee County. The identified communities are pine flatwoods, grasslands of prairie type, freshwater marshes, freshwater forests, and •. freshwater herbaceous. A brief discussion of the major characteristics of each of these communities is included as follows: .. 1. Pine flatwoods: Pine flatwoods are characterized as open-canopy forest of widely spaced pine trees with little or no understory but a dense cover of herbs and •"' scrubs. The most common associations are longleaf ping/wiregrass/runner oak and slash pine/gallberry/saw palmetto. Typical plants of the pine flatwoods include: ,.. St. Johns-wort, dwarf huckleberry, fetterbush, dwarf wax myrtle, stagger bush, blueberry, gopher apple, tar flower, bog buttons, blackroot, false foxglove, white topped aster, yellow-eyed grass, and cutthroad grass. Typical animals of the pine flatwoods include: white-tailed deer, black bear, bobcat, raccoon, gray fox, black racer, red rat snake, cotton rat, cotton mouse, brown headed nuthatch, Bachman's sparrow, southeastern kestrel, and pine warbler. Pine flatwoods typically occur on relatively flat, moderately to poorly drained terrain. The soils generally �. consist of 1-3 feet of acid sands generally overlying on organic handpan or clay subsoil. The hardpan substantially reduces the percolation of water below and above its surface. During the rainy seasons, water frequently stands on the hardpan's surface and briefly inundates much of the flatwoods. During the drier seasons, ground water is often unobtainable for many plants whose roots foil to penetrate the hardpan. As a result, many plants are under the stress of water saturation MEI during the wet season and under the stress of dehydration during the dry seasons. VII-8 aaNIO 2. Grasslands of prairie type: Prairie grasslands are characterized as a nearly treeless plain with a dense ground cover of wiregrass, saw palmetto, and other grasses, herbs, and low shrubs. Some typical plants of prairie ..1 grasslands include: broomsedge, carpet grass, runner oak, Indian grass, love grass, blazing star, rabbit tobacco, pine lily, marsh pink, milkwort, goldenrod, musky mint, pawpaw, dwarf wax myrtle, gallberry, stagger bush, fetter bush, and dwarf blueberry. Typical animals of prairie grasslands include: bobcat, spotted skunk, cotton rat, harvest mouse, least shrew, turkey vulture, meadowlark, bobwhite, logger head shrike, box turtle, block racer, burrowing owl, sandhill crane, grasshopper sparrow, crested caracara, six-lined racerunner, and coachwhip. 3. Freshwater marshes: Freshwater marsh is characterized as an herbaceous or scrubby wetland situated in a relatively large and irregular shaped basin. Typical plants of freshwater marsh include: common reed, panicum, cutgrass, southern watergrass, penny wort, spanish needle, redroot, soft rush, American lotus, water primroses, arrowhead, coastal plain willow, saltbush, elderberry, spike rushes, knotweed, buttonbush, and dog fennel. Typical animals include alligator, striped swamp snake, block swamp snake, green water snake, banded water snake, eastern mad �. snake, leopard frog, bull frog, pig frog, cricket frog, green tree frog, amphiuma, greater siren, lesser siren, great blue heron, little blue heron, tricolored heron, great .22 egret, snowy egret, bold eagle, and marsh hawk. Freshwater marshes usually develop in large solution .. depressions that were formerly shallow lakes. The lake bottom has slowly filled with sediments from the surrounding uplands and with peat from plants. The soils are usually acid peats and the hydroperiod is generally around 200 days per year. 4. Freshwater forests: Freshwater forests are •+ characterized as low-lying areas along rivers and large streams that are seasonally inundated by flood waters. They consist primarily of well developed hardwoods on drier soils 2•• with poorly developed understories and sparse, seasonal ground cover. The dominant trees of freshwater forests are overcup oak, water hickory, diamond-leaf oak, and swamp chestnut oak. Typical plants include bluestem palmetto, willow oak, green ash, Florida elm, sweetgum, hackberry, water oak, �., American harnbean, tulip poplar, coastal plain willow, black willow, eastern cottonwood, swamp cottonwood, river birch, red maple, silver maple, box elder, American sycamore, catalpa, sweetbay magnolia, hawthorn, swamp azalea, pink VII-9 azalea, gulf sebastiana, lanceleaf green briar, poison ivy, peppervine, rattanvine, indigo bush, white grass, plume grass, redtop panicum, caric sedges, silverbells, crossine, American wisteria, and wood grass. Typical animals of freshwater forests include: southern dusky salamander, male salamander, slimy salamander, dwarf salamander, rusty nud salamander, amphiuma, sirens, Alabama waterdog, southern toad, cricket frog, gray tree frog, bird-voiced treefrog bullfrog, river frog, southern leopard frog, stinkpit, river coater, "' alligator, southeastern five-lined skink, broadheaded skink, brown water snake, redbellied water snake, mud snake, rainbow snake, black swamp snake, glossy crayfish snake, ,., cottonmouth, red-eyed vireo, parula warbler, prothonotary warbler, cardinal, Carolina wren, yellow-crowned night heron, wood duck, red-shouldered hawk, chimmy swift, woodcock, barred owl, pileated woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, swainson's worbier, towhee, swallowtail kite, Mississippi Kite, Arcadia flycatcher, veery, white-eyed vireo, hooded warbler, cotton mouse, golden mouse, short-tailed shrew, wood rat, rice rat, southeastern shrew, beaver, bobcat, oppossum, raccoon, and bear. 5, Freshwater herbaceous: Freshwater herbaceous are characterized as areas of herbaceous vegetation and low shrubs that occur in river floodplains, mainly in Central Florida and along the St. Johns, Myakka, and Kissimmee Rivers. These areas generally occur on sandy alluvial soils with considerable peat accumulation. Typical plants include: cutthroat grass, sawgrass, maiden cane, buttonbush, sand cordgrass, dotted smartweed, arrowheads, pickerel weed, reimargrass, spike rush, bulrushes, bladderpod, common reed, coreopsis, glasswort, seashort dropseed, sea purslane, and water primrose. Typical animals include American alligator, striped swamp snake, banded water snake, eastern mud snake, leopard frog, pig frog, cricket frog, great blue heron, little blue heron, tricolored heron, great egret, snowy egret, black-crowned night heron, yellow-crowned night heron, northern harrier, sandhill crane, river otter, and raccoon. Protection of natural habitats is vital in insuring the future of many rare species of plants and animals. Often times development takes precedence and natural communities are destroyed with little thought as to the long-term impacts on the plants and animals of that community. Disturbance and destruction of ecological communities are the primary causes for the decline and loss of plant and animal species. It is imperative that local officials realize the impacts future development will have on threatened or VII-10 endangered species and make decisions that give adequate '� consideration to the protection and preservation of those species. H. DOMINANT SPECIES PRESENT AND SPECIES LISTED BY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AS ENDANGERED, THREATENED, OR SPECIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN The Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission compiled a listing of endangered and potentially endangered fauna and flora in Florida in September, 1986.

COMMERCIAL, RECREATION, OR CONSERVATION USES OF NATURAL RESOURCES Recreational activities are the predominant use of the County's natural resources. Lake Okeechobee and the Kissimmee River have an extensive commercial/recreational VII-11 .• industry dependent upon fishing and boating activities. Camping and day-use outdoor recreation activities are also available along the waterfront resources of the County. J. CURRENT WATER NEEDS The South Florida Water Management District, which services the majority of Okeechobee County (62,720 acres in the northeastern section of the County are in the St. Johns Water Management District) , has prepared background data on actual water use, and population and per capita estimates for 1980 and 1985. The tables (below) indicate the sources and consumption of water for those two time frames. Table 9 1980 Potable Water Use Utility Pumpage In Million Gal. Daily Service Area Gal. Total Permanent Avg.

INTRODUCTION Section 9J-5.014, Florida Administrative Code, requires local governments to prepare a recreation and open space data base which will include the following: 1. An inventory of existing public and private recreation sites and open spaces available to the public 4113 including: a. natural reservations; b. parks; c. playgrounds; d. parkways; and e. beaches. die 2 . Identification, for each site, of type of facility, such as: .� a. activity or resource-based; and b. type of equipment available. The recreation and open space data base, following, responds to the requirements of Section 9J-5.014, Florida Administrative Code. The information provided should be 11 sufficient to allow local government to proceed with subsequent planning tasks. B. EXISTING SITES INVENTORY There are currently approximately 680 acres of land in Okeechobee County and the City of Okeechobee being used for �. recreation. Many of the outdoor recreation areas and community centers are concentrated in or near the City of Okeechobee. This is in response to the density of population close to the City. Maps 16 and 17 following, indicate the generalized location of recreation facilities in Okeechobee County and the City of Okeechobee. Okeechobee County is unique in the Central Florida region because it is bounded on two sides by water -- the Kissimmee River to the west and Lake Okeechobee to the 413 south. These two natural resources provide numerous recreation opportunities. The Kissimmee River serves as Okeechobee County's western boundary and offers a number of public and private recreation facilities. There are three public boat access areas. The Platts Bluff facility is located approximately eleven miles north of Lake Okeechobee. This facility offers boat access, bank fishing, picnicking, and camping. There VIII-1 WIN ..

This facility offers boat access and bank fishing. The Okee-Tantie Recreation Area is located on the shores of the Kissimmee River where it empties into Lake Okeechobee. This site offers a number of facilities .. including boat access to both the Kissimmee River and Lake Okeechobee, bank fishing, boat and motor rentals, dock rentals, guide services, commercial services (food, beer fishing licenses, ice) , picnicking, camping, showers, potable water, and sewer hook-ups. In addition to its access to the Kissimmee River, Okeechobee County has approximately sixteen miles of shoreline on Lake Okeechobee. Public and private facilities located near the shores of the lake provide numerous .i opportunities for fishing and boating. The Okeechobee Park site is located near the City of Okeechobee on the north shore of the lake. It consists of approximately 10 acres of easement lands, is operated by Okeechobee County and is accessible from State Road 441 via an unpaved road over Hoover Dike. The site currently has .111 picnic facilities, a large dirt parking area, a fishing pier, beach, and a boat lauching area. Okeechobee Park is located on a broad, flat sandy area and provides unobstructed views of Lake Okeechobee. The area is fairly open with scattered palms in the picnic area and a dense stand of Australian pines in the boat launching "•' area. Existing roads and parking areas are unpaved. Flooding occurs on the road to the boat launching area when lake levels are elevated. The site has no electricity, potable water, or sanitary facilities. Florida Trail Association volunteers work with State and Federal agencies, as well as private landowners, to develop and maintain the Florida Trail from the Panhandle to the Everglades. Portions of the levee system around Lake Okeechobee are used as part of this continuous, air cross-country trail. Nearly sixteen miles of the Florida Trail are in Okeechobee County providing opportunities for hiking and horseback riding. The Okissimmee Fish Camp is a private commercial facility located within one mile of Lake Okeechobee on the shore of the Kissimmee River. This facility offers boat access and bank fishing as well as fishing supplies, boat and motor rentals, and snack foods. There are also camping and picnic areas, cabins, showers, potable water, toilets, and sewer hook-ups. VIII-4 da„ Although fishing and boating are the primary recreation activities along the Kissimmee River and Lake Okeechobee, other opportunities do exist. Nature lovers are afforded numerous opportunities in bird watching and animal sitings. Lake Okeechobee marshes support several wading bird species. A number of the sited species are considered to be of special concern by the State because of rapid declines in their populations. The marshes of Lake Okeechobee also provide year-round habitat for several species of water fowl. Sitings have included wood ducks, coots, and gallinules. Migratory fowl are also heavy users of these marsh areas. Osprey are also commonly sited along the Kissimmee River and Lake Okeechobee. These areas provide excellent resources for feeding and nesting. Bald eagle nesting sites are also known to occur in this area. The Lake Okeechobee and Kissimmee River areas also support all four North American groups of reptiles. The most notable is the American alligator, one of Florida's largest reptiles. There are thirty-four native species of mammals including the manatee. The manatee is recognized by the State as an endangered species. Given Okeechobee County's unique natural resources, 4A" opportunities for innovative recreation planning are abundant. Planning efforts should give special consideration to this unique environment capitalizing on the ..0 attraction and easy access of the County's natural resources. C. EXISTING FACILITY TYPE Recreational sites are frequently classified as resource-based or activity-based. Resource-based sites and facilities are defined as sites and facilities centered around particular natural resources and may provide opportunities for picnicking, hiking, hunting, water sports, fishing or simply enjoying nature. Activity-based recreational sites and facilities are defined as sites developed for the enjoyment of particular activities such as basketball, baseball, or football, recreation programs such as aerobics and painting, senior citizen activities, and many spectator sports. The distinction between these two types is not clear-cut since many resource-based recreation sites often contain activity-based facilities. Okeechobee County currently has a variety of both resource and activity based recreational sites and facilities serving City and County residents.

The existing relationship between the City of Okeechobee and each of the entities listed is as follows: 1. Okeechobee County: Okeechobee County and the City of Okeechobee entered into a joint planning agreement on April 15, 1985. This agreement called for a consolidated Okeechobee Building and Zoning Department operated by the County and having jurisdiction over all the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Okeechobee County. The agreement also required that a minimum of two members of the seven ,W, member Planning and Zoning Board reside within the City of Okeechobee. The City of Okeechobee and Okeechobee County also entered into a joint planning program interlocal agreement on April 22, 1986. This agreement assured that the City and County would commit resources to carry on joint planning activities to comply with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act. 2. Adjacent Counties: The City of Okeechobee is surrounded by seven counties. The land use abutting the Okeechobee County line of each of the seven contiguous counties is predominantly agricultural or undeveloped. The Kissimmee River divides Okeechobee and Highlands Counties and Lake Okeechobee divides Okeechobee and Glades Counties. In 1984, the Kissimmee River Resource Planning and Management Committee was established. The 980 square mile study area included portions of Glades, Highlands, Polk, Okeechobee and Osceola Counties. The purpose of the committee was to study water quality protection and land use and resource management for the five county area of the lower Kissimmee River Basin. The goal of the Kissimmee River Resource Planning and Management Committee was to "develop and implement a resource management plan for the Kissimmee River Basin that will ensure that land use planning and management and water quality protection are consistent with the long-term health of the river system and Lake Okeechobee" (An Examination of the Potential of the Kissimmee River Resource Planning and Management Committee, p, 16) . On August 21, 1985, the .. Committee adopted the Resource Management Plan for the Lower Kissimmee River and Taylor Creek Drainage Basin to provide a rational framework from which sound growth management for the lower Kissimmee River Basin will be developed and implemented. As an outgrowth of the Kissimmee River Resource Planning and Management Committee, Okeechobee County and Glades County formed the Glades-Okeechobee Economic Development Council, Inc. The Council is preparing an economic development plan with a focus on the lower Kissimmee River and Lake Okeechobee. IX-10 3. Regional Organizations: The City of Okeechobee is served by the Central Florida Regional Planning Council. The county has three voting and one non-voting members on the Council. One member is elected to represent Okeechobee County, one member is elected to represent the City of Okeechobee, one member is a governor appointee, and the Building and Zoning Director serves as a non-voting member. �,. Local elected representation requires a minimum of one County Commission and one City Council member per county. The Central Florida Regional Planning Council provides the City of Okeechobee with technical assistance, review of developments of regional impact, planning assistance, i information exchange, and region wide comprehensive planning. Local governments benefit from collective action in dealing with administrative, economic, sociological and governmental problems of a regional nature. In addition to its normal responsibilities, the Central Florida Regional Planning Council is working under contract to the City of Okeechobee in the preparation of the Okeechobee City-County Comprehensive Plan. The Plan is scheduled for completion in 1990. Coordination between the Council and the City affords the City the benefit of a professional planning staff and the opportunity for extensive education in the planning process for county officials. The City of Okeechobee is served by the South Florida and the St. Johns Water Management Districts. As regional i water management agencies, water management districts coordinate with and provide information to state, regional, and local entities. The Districts may enter into contracts Aim or agreements to engage in specific projects that are not part of the fiscal year budget or to assist in the completion of existing projects. The Water Management Districts are mandated under Section 373 . 016, F.S. , to "promote the conservation, development, and proper utilization of surface and ground i water. " The Water Management Districts incorporate conservation in policy and rule development, planning, resource management, resource evaluation, and public information programs. The Water Shortage Plan, required under subsection 373 . 246, F.S. , is the major conservation rule of the °r Districts. This rule empowers the District's Governing Board to declare and implement water shortage warnings, water shortages, and water use restrictions. The intent of the plan is to provide for essential water uses (hospitals, fire protection, etc. ) and ensure equity in all other uses. Enforcement of the Water Shortage Plan is largely the responsibility of local governments. IX-11 ar. The Districts' Consumptive Use Rule, Chapter 40C-2 , F.A.C. , deals with conservation through the reasonable and beneficial use criteria. With the exception of agricultural irrigation, all consumptive use permits must meet these 41' criteria. A reasonable and beneficial use is: ••• "The use of water in such quantity as is necessary for economic and efficient utilization for a purpose and in a manner which is both reasonable and consistent with the public interest. " In addition to the reasonable and beneficial use criteria, conservation measures are often required for CUP's through the use of permit provisions. General limiting conditions are placed on all permits, while standardized conditions are included for each category of use. Special ..., conditions are added to permits on a project-specific basis. Water conservation plans are encouraged of all major municipal water suppliers, and upon request, the Districts offer local governments technical assistance in developing conservation ordinances. The Districts create an incentive for water .r conservation through the wastewater reuse program. When wastewater reuse is required in a permit, the amount of reuse required is determined by a point system. Existing water conservation measures give a permittee more points, therefore, less reuse is required. The Office of Planning and Coordination recently developed Policy Guidelines for use by the Regional Planning Councils in developing Comprehensive Regional Policy Plans. These guidelines specifically suggest the development of water conservation ordinances and programs by local governments. The guidelines were drafted in consistency with the State Comprehensive Plan, which states as policy: "Promote water conservation as an integral part of water management programs as well as the use and reuse of water of the lowest acceptable quality for the •• purposes intended. " Although initially directed at the Regional Planning Council regional plans, the Policy Guidelines will affect local governments since LGCP's must be in compliance with regional and state plans. — The Water Shortage Plan and CUP Rule have a direct impact on local governments, but can also be used as models for similar programs at the local level. The Districts ' Policy Guidelines provide general guidance concerning regional water management policies for the state comprehensive planning process. IX-12 .. mi,, Local governments can utilize the Districts' public information products directly and/or as a model for similar programs at the local level. NM The City of Okeechobee must also interact with other public entities as well as various state and federal agencies. The level of interaction and the coordinating .. mechanisms are largely subject to the function of the coordinating entities involved.
