MEMORANDUM
TO: THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: THE PLANNING COMMISSION
DATE: 1/—e—zoning 14,1986
RE: y Rezoning requesi)by James P. Gadoury from Commercial to Residential

- SEE ATTACHED LEGAL DESCRIPTION -
REQUEST:The applicant was represented by Attorney John Cassels request-
ing a reclassification to RG -2 in order to build an apartment

Norma` Williams, secretary
IN RE:
APPLICATION OF
JAMES GADOURY
Presented in this application is an unusual situation where the
proposed apartment complex is located partly within the city
limits and the remaining being governed by county ordinance.
Although the entire tract is zoned commercial, separate
ordinances govern. With respect to the city parcel, apartment
complexes are not permitted in a commercial zone. Accordingly
this petition requests a change to RG -2 to permit apartment
complexes.
With regard to the county parcel, apartment complexes are
permitted in a commercial zone and no zoning change is required
for this portion of the tract.
Under both ordinances, increased density is sought. A maximum
density of 18 units per acre is sought for the county parcel and a
maximum of 19.31 units per acre is sought for the city parcel.
It is respectfully submitted that multi- family units are an
ideal buffer between commercial and residential uses.
Traditionally, those residing in residential zone have opposed
multi - family units as being undesirable and at odds with single
family residences. Accordingly, property of a commercially zoned
nature is desirable for this type of development as evidenced by
the county zoning ordinance.
As this project is relatively small in respect to population
patterns, public facilities such as schools and utilities, the
proposed change would not materially alter the population density
or pattern.
Although existing district boundaries are not illogically drawn
in relation to existing conditions, it has been determined through
experience that residentially zoned neighborhoods oppose
developments of the nature sought.
It is further submitted that:
A. The proposed change would not be contrary to the city's
comprehensive plan.
B. Changing conditions make the passage of the proposed
amendment necessary and will not adversely affect living
conditions in the neighborhood.
C. The proposed change will not excessively increase traffic
congestion or otherwise affect public safety.
D. The proposed change will not create a drainage problem in
that a retaining pond is provided and the applicant must comply
with all state and local regulations with regard to drainage and
water retention.
D. The proposed change will not reduce light and air to
adjacent areas.
E. The proposed change will not adversely affect property
values in the adjacent area.
F. The proposed change will not be a detriment to the
improvement or development of adjacent property in accord with the
existing regulations.
G. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of a
special privilege.
H. The suggested change is not out of scale with the needs of
the neighborhood of the city.
I. It is virtually impossible to find other adequate sites in
the city for the proposed use in a district already permitting
such use in that there are extremely few acreage tracts remaining
within the City of Okeechobee.
J. It :.s submitted that the increased density is sought and
needed in relationship to the cost of property acquisition, cost
of construction and the desire to obtain a lower cost per unit to
maintain a reasonable rental rate.
K. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are
peculiar to the land in that the requisite retention pond reduces
the number of units per acre allowable. This special condition
and circumstance of the land does not result from the actions of
the applicant and literal interpretation of the provisions of this
zoning ord:_nance will deprive the applicant of rights commonly
enjoyed by other properties in the same district.
L. The variance is the minimum variance necessary to
successfully construct the project sought.
M. Granting of this variance will not confer on the applicant
any special privilege and the variance will be in harmony with the
general intent and purpose of this zoning ordinance and will not
injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the
public welfare but contrary will be a decided asset to the City of
Okeechobee and surrounding areas.
In conclusion, it is submitted that the proposed land use
change and increased density would be of a benefit to both the
City and the County and that there exists a need within the
Okeechobee City area for residential apartments.

SUBJECftter from
Walter Taylor,
Zoning
Administrator
- Gadoury
Rezoning
Attached herewith is a copy of a letter received by me from
Zoning Administrator, Walter Taylor concerning the new city
zoning map. You and I discussed this matter this week briefly in
my office, at which time you scanned the correspondence. Mr.
Taylor asked that I discuss the matter with you and if we agreed
with his analysis to make the necessary corrections in the
subject area on the new map.
Personally, my confusion about the five (5) acre tract, Parcel
"C ", has been cleared up by Mr. Taylor's explanation in paragraph
three (3) of his letter concerning a variance granted to r1r.
Gadoury of 172.44 feet of the property.
If you have no problem with the trail of events as they occurred,
according to the Zoning Administrator (and I'll admit they are
involved), I will place the changes on the map as appropriate. I
feel Mr. Taylor's explanation is correct. Please advise whether
or not you concur.

Dear Mrs. Thomas:
In order to explain the zoning action taken on the property belong-
ing to James Gadoury under application number 063 -R, 070 -S, 152 -R,
030 -V, please find a copy of documents prepared for review by
the Planning Commission and documents for use in this department
for administrative purposes.
These documents and a review of the chronological order in which
they occurred should clairify what the Official Zoning should re-
flect. In February of 1985 Mr. Gadoury requested rezoning of
the 5 acre tract adjacent to the city limits (legal description
included in the letter labeled Exhibit A) to Commercial from
Agriculture Conservation. This was approved by the Planning Commis-
sion and Board of County Commissioners. The Special Exception
for warehouse use was approved by the Board of Adjustment.
In October of 1986 Mr. Gadoury applied to have the zoning changed
on two parcels denoted as city tax parcel 23 and city taxR parcel
24A (see Exhibit B) from City Commercial to Residential General
/ 7 (RG -2). He also requested a Variance to increase the density
to 20 units per acre on those parcels within the city limits
and the north 172.44 feet of the 5 acre tract located within
the county and zoned County Commercial.
The County Commercial included within its permitted principal uses
those permitted within the Residential General classification.
In summary, city tax parcels 23 and 24A were rezoned to Resi-
dential, General (RG -2) and county tax parcel 9 (5 acres) was
% zoned County Commercial. All three parcels have a Variance to
allow 20 units per acre.
The city has now annexed the 5 acre tract formerly zoned County
Commercial into the city. Without further zoning action it would
appear that the 5 acre tract would carry with it the Commercial
Zoning classification approved by the Okeechobee Board of County
Commissioners before annexation.
I hope you find this information helpful, should you desire more
information please call.

This same owner, with counsel and contractor, appeared before your
honorable body several months ago seeking to obtain your approval for the
development of this and the owner's adjoining property. for
"mini- warehouses" and presented engineering plans, etc. Over my objections
at that time, assurances were given by the owner and his representatives
that on site drainage was designed by the engineer and would be
constructed. Not only has there been no on site construction of water
retention, but the construction work performed in raising the elevation,
together with subsequent flow of water which was channeled onto my
property, covered up a part of my woven wire fence. I complained to the
zoning administrator about this problem and notified the owner. As of this
date, nothing has been done to restore my pasture fence. A quantity of
shell was dumped at the end of the drainage swale and I presume it is a
partial attempt at creating on site drainage.
Now, this brings me to express my opposition to this latest request.
As I stated on numerous occasions, growth is not necessarily progress. The
areas along South Parrott Avenue have changed in recent years and this is
to be expected, but a development of mini - warehouses does not improve or
upgrade the area and if anything, tends to downgrade the area. Now, you
have a request to change from commercial to RG -2 with a variance to allow
an increase in density from 11 units per acre to 20 units per acre. This
appears to be a further attempt to obtain greater financial gain at the
expense of the area. I am opposed to this type of growth in this area of
Okeechobee. I would like to see some quality growth instead of just
quantity in this area. It appears to me that the proposed change will
further downgrade the area resulting in damage to adjoining property.
PECEIVED OCT 1 1936
In the event you should see fit to grant any change on the subject
property, I request that your zoning official closely monitor the
development so that promised improvements are in fact installed to
specifications.
Thanking you for your considerations, I am
Very truly yours,
