Re: Request to Review City of Okeechobee Comprehensive
Plan Prior to Submission to DCA for Compliance
Review
Dear Jeff:
It was a pleasure to finally meet you in person on March 19,
1991 at the public hearing to adopt the City of Okeechobee ' s Local
Government Comprehensive Plan. After having worked with you on
the phone during the past couple of weeks, I enjoyed the
opportunity to place your name and face together.
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the details of the
conversation we had at the conclusion of the public hearing.
During that conversation you stated that you would contact me
by telephone as soon as you have completed making the following
revisions which the City Council adopted to the plan and directed
you to make to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) . These revisions
include: ( 1 ) the change in Land Use Policy 2 .2 recommended in my
March 19, 1991 correspondence to the Chairman of the LPA on behalf
of Mr. Altobello and Mr. Jennings (copies of those letters are
enclosed for your convenience) ; (2) the removal of the designations
on Map 1 .2 and the references in the text of the FLUE Data &
Analysis to the Altobello property as an "area with severe
limitations" and to the Jennings property as a "flood prone area"
and "area with severe limitations" ; ( 3) the revisions to the text
suggested in my correspondence which conform the text to the
changes which the Council made to revised policy 2 .2 and Map 1 . 2;
and (4) the recommendation you made to Council that the following
language be added to the text accompanying the FLUM: "Map 1 .2 of
the Data & Analysis document [without the designations] is
incorporated by reference into the FLUM for information purposes
only and may be revised as warranted when additional or improved
data becomes available" .
It is my understanding that you will contact me in sufficient
time such that I will be allowed to review the revisions before
you submit the plan as revised to DCA for compliance review.
