The Updates!
from the City Administrator's Desk
55 SE 3rd Av., Okeechobee, FL 34974
City Council meeting of February 17, 2015
• Impact fees repeal anticipated schedule:
Planning Board — 4/16/15 (advertise 3/29 & 4/8)
City Council - 1st rdg — 5/5/15, 2nd and final — 5/19/15 (advertisement 5/15)
As you know, the City has passed ordinances that placed annual moratoriums on
fee collection, the last of which expires 6/30/15. The School District (Nov '14)
and the County (Dec '14) adopted ordinances that terminated the impact fee
process. Again, we will present something official prior to June 30th.
• Parking lot downtown —As part of the Dunkin Donut discussion we
mentioned the downtown pkg issue. As soon as I get time, I'II start
Investigating the acquisition of properties.
• FDOT Signal Maint Agreement — We are analyzing the Agreement and will
forward to the Council thereafter. I expect they will prepare a new
Agreement anyway after each community in the State adds their influence,
which is what happened the last time they did this. The City approved the
annual Agreement in June 2014. In Oct, we passed a modified Agreement that
described the State's and the City's responsibilities more thoroughly...we felt it
was not too intrusive. In Aug we rec'd $9000 in reimbursement. For comparative
purposes, for example, we rec'd — 2007 - $7200, 2011 - $8300.
• Nursing home expansion — While we do not have a formal application it's
expected that the nursing home will be annexing property to the east and
installing a new parking area in front, along 441 N. It will require some
rezoning and special exception work.
• FEMA flood map. As you are aware, FEMA has been in the process of
developing a new Flood Plain map and along with that, they will expect
each local government to adopt new regulations that coincide w/ federal
guidelines. Without the city's compliance, the Nat'l Flood Insurance
Program will not be available to those in the flood zone. I have a sample
ordinance (online) but am relying on the county (considerably more
educated on the matter) to prepare the doc and thereafter we will use it.
FEMA indicated that the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) will be sent
soon. The City needs to have the ordinance in place by July 16, 2015 and
prior to adoption FEMA will have to approve the document assuring that it
meets their minimum requirement.
City Atty:
• Railroad xinq at NW 9th Av —. I've referred this to Atty Cook for review.
CSX believes that the $38, 820 is payable 100% by the Agency (City). They refer
to a 1991 Agreement and a $16k submittal by the City in 1992 as evidence of the
City's commitment. The only commitment we are able to get out of CSX is that
they expect the cost to be less than the estimate and that they would be willing to
stretch the $39k over several months.

• from the HOME grant program, we have one applicant, Gloria Goulette,
809 SE 9th Ct., that continues to be unsatisfied. The low -inc housing rehab
grant was finished in 2013...the last permit was C /O'd in Aug 2013. The
homeowner /contractor had issues during construction and apparently she
is still having electrical and plbg issues. I know at the time she was
disappointed when we had to remove a terrible code - violating back
bathroom. The City grant program is technically liable for 1 -yr after the
Cert of Occupancy... her's was issued in Feb 2013. The State is reviewing
the matter looking for resolution.
Fire /Code Enforcement:
• Activity report attached.
• Nuisance house at NW 9th Av and 2nd St — I'm sorry the remedial action on
this house is taking so long. I'm kind of hung up on trying to get Waste to
do us a favor on this last one and give the disposal service free. I hope to
have an answer by next week. This is the yellow nuisance house on the
corner. Staff has managed to secure all of the nec docs to remove the building,
including the owner's permission to attach a lien to the parcel. We are
coordinating the demolition.

Public Works:
• 441 median landscaping (Grant funded -Main St) — FDOT Maintenance
Dept is conducting a completion survey prior to reimbursement, as per
communication last week. FDOT for grant - $96,492.71.
• GRANT APPROVED - Canals - Legislative Grant $100k - Agreement w/ DEP —
Executed the Grant Agreement for the water conveyance project. The gratn
expires Nov5th. The City requested $450k but was only funded to the $100k.
For the 2015 legislative requests, the City again requested $450k.
• GRANT — Canals — SFWMD grant — On 11/18/14 submitted a grant
( "cooperative funding Program CFP ") application for additional funding
($185k) to assist the City in completing the canal cleaning project.
The Part 1 applications /projects will be presented to our Governing Board to
determine which projects should be further considered for FY2016 cost - sharing in
Part 2. Applicants reaching Part 2 will be requested via a second application to
submit detailed project information, timelines, funding commitments and benefit
quantifications. Prior hereto I reported that they expected a Feb 12
evaluation, but that has been delayed to some extent.
• GRANT APPROVED $57,750 - Small County Outreach Program (SCOP)
program street reparation (& storm sewer) at SW 2nd Av & 8th St — FDOT
has only advised that the funding agreement will be forthcoming and not to
incur additional costs as they won't be reimbursable. The Engineering
Agreement with Culpepper & Terpening was executed as per last meeting.
• GRANTS - Taylor Creek Park/Centennial Park grant applications — FWC —
submitted two grant applications, in mid Nov, to the Fish & Wildlife Commission
(long and short forms) for infrastructure improvements at the proposed park.
Mentioned that we had met w/ FWC officials at the park last Nov. I spoke to
Steve Gornak, FWC Habitat Conservation, a few weeks ago he indicated the
apps are in review, which will take `til the end of February. They rec'd about 100
applications and after their review the 'approved' ones go to Tally for
"rubberstamp"

• 2014 -15 Asphalt program — Finally, it appears that CSX is done with
THEIR project and we have already contacted Okeechobee Asphalt to get
the project underway. It's my understanding that they have completed
their conversion to natural gas...at least they were able to produce `hot
mix' for us to use.
• GRANTS - Taylor Creek Park/Centennial Park grant applications — FL
DEP — As reported prior hereto the City rec'd rejection letters from the FL
DEP for both the TMDL (total max daily load) and Sect'n 319 grants.
I rec'd a completed draft that we anticipate submitting. The new
application info was prepared after a conf call w/ Connie Becker, DEP.
Unfortunately, with the initial failure of the TMDL grant and the Sect'n 319
grant, I'm a bit disillusioned about the timeliness of the Taylor
Creek/Centennial Park development...these two grants were to be used
for that purpose.
The new TMDL grant funding, if approved, will have a timeline of
something like this:
2015 summer — award notification
2015 Sept — EPA approval of plans
2016 early - City advertise /award
2016 July — construction commence
2016 Dec, 2017 Jan — figure 6 months to complete construction
Of course the timetable can be expedited here 'n there, but that is what
Stef has on the application.
I'm going to have to conference w/ Stef Matthes, Culpepper & Terpening
and figure out what is the most cost effective way to at least start the park,
without duplicating what would be grant eligible expenses. I know the
Centennial committee wants to 'dedicate' the park as some point this year,
so I need to coordinate some construction immediately thereafter.
Councilman O'Connor has always led the interest in the park and solicited
donations for improvements. Those solicitors are anxious to get it going
too. The City established a Committee to move the park along and that
group, along with the city council approved various amenities back in
2012.
The City had designated 'assigned' dollars ($300k) to the park and then
for the last two years we used the assigned number as matching monies
for two grants. This f/y we moved the funds over to the budget (vs
assigned) in hopes of expending. Now we are looking at rebudgeting for
next fiscal year.
Not to editorialize too much, but I'm starting to get the feeling that chasing
grant funding just isn't folding into the park plans very well.
Background:
On June 27th Culpepper & Terpening sent an application to DEP for a second
grant, TMDL Water Quality Grant App for $367, 260 of which requires a 50%
match ($183,630).
As you might recall, we applied for a Section 319 in May. That grant calls for a
$367k grant and a $147,052 (40 %) match.

• City median landscaping — Brad Goodbread confirmed they had some 180 +/-
trees dedicated to our medians on SE 4Th St, and various SW streets. The trees
will be FREE but he wanted to cover his costs on installation.
• 441/70 intersection project — There's a web link to the SR 70/441 project at
http://co.okeechobee.fLus/ click link entitled 'County Documents' on left side of
home page.
• Ordering Street Signs — David and I need a bit of clarification on the sign
wording and he submitted the following email to me. I'm seeking your
input. By the way, in lieu of printing my report in color, the signs are dark
blue.
1. North Park Street and South Park Street
The existing signs for North and South Park are incorrect. The existing signs, NE Park St,
SE Park St, ... would be correct if there was a single "Park St" that was in four separate
quadrants of the city, NE, NW, SE, SW. The platted for the city has two separately
named streets, North Park St and South Park Streets. Here is an example of how the signs
would look if they were correctly labeled.
E North Park St
E South Park St
Note, on all these examples, the white box around the city logo would be the same blue as
the rest of the background my graphics software is just very limited.
2. NW 9th Ave/ Dean avenue
The city council minutes are clear for this example. The motion clearly states that "Dean
Avenue" should be placed below NW 9th Ave on the street signs. This placement is also
consistent with the guidelines in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD)
NW 9th Ave
Dean Avenue
Page 5
i
2/17/15 Activity Rpt Cont'd (Public Wks)
3. West 5th Ave /Osceola
The city council meeting notes from 4/17/2007 specifically change the name of W 5th
Ave to "Osceola West 5th Avenue ". Using the street name as specified in the council
minutes would be rather cumbersome:
i
N Osceola West 5t'' Ave
Not only does this make for a very long and difficult to mount street sign, there is also
some ambiguity around the street name that could cause issues for 911 or other
emergency situations. The driving force behind the expenditure for replacing the signs is
the MUTCD requirement to meet new reflectivity standards, which is in turn being driven
by an effort help first responders quickly identify street names. Given the intent of the
MUTCD guidelines, treating W 5t Ave similarly to NW 9th Ave would add consistency
and simplicity to the signs.
SW 5t'' Ave
Osceola
Given the specific naming in the 2007 council minutes, I need clarification before I order
the signs.

Item Before the Board of Adjustment
The matter for consideration by the City of Okeechobee Board of Adjustment is a
Special Exception for a Daycare facility at 1811 SW 2nd Avenue. The property involves
two Tots separated by platted but unimproved SW 19th Street. The two lots encompass
0.574 acres.
Description of the Situation
The parcel carries a Future Land Use designation of Commercial and is zoned CPO,
Commercial Professional and Office District. The property has been used in the past as
a daycare facility and private school and the buildings are currently vacant. The
Applicant wishes to operate a "Daycare facility during the hours of 6am to 6pm Monday
thru Friday. There will be 10 employees. Children will be mainly indoors, but will play in
the fenced area playground at various times during the day."
It should be noted that the existing buildings are nonconforming structures as defined in
the LDRs as follows:
"Nonconforming structure means a lawful building or structure existing on the
date of enactment or amendment of these regulations, but which does not conform
to the yard, setback, coverage, height, parking, landscaping or supplementary
regulations of the district in which it is located."
Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988
Staff Report Applicant's Name: Absorbent Mind Academy
Special Exception Request Petition No. 15- 001 -SE
Both buildings conform to the minimum rear and front yard requirements for a daycare
center set forth in Sec. 90 -694. However, neither structure conforms to the required 25-
foot minimum side yard, in relation to the adjoining properties to the immediate north
and south. The new owner will not be required to address these nonconformities.
The property is also nonconforming as to parking requirements. The parking
requirement for a daycare center is one parking space for each five students plus one
for each employee. With 99 students and ten employees, the parking requirement is 30
spaces, two of which should be designated for the handicapped.
Section 90 -35(d) sets forth the regulations governing how a nonconforming structure is
treated when the underlying land is sold. Section 90- 35(d)(1) requires portions of the
property that
"... have been used for off - street parking but are unpaved or unimproved,
unmarked or otherwise do not meet the City's design requirements for
such parking, the owner shall improve the quality of such area (or its
dimensional equivalent) with `pavers' or other form of dustless surface
acceptable to the city for the purposes of vehicular parking. The number
of spaces to be provided shall be equal to that which can be accommo-
dated within the geographic area previously used for parking...
Therefore, we suggest that the deteriorating portion of the driveway on the northern part
of the property should be repaved and the unpaved part of the southern driveway and
parking area should be paved with a dustless surface acceptable to the City. Parking
spaces for employees should be marked and handicapped spaces should be identified
and meet state standards.

Staff Report
Special Exception Request
Applicant's Name: Absorbent Mind Academy
Petition No. 15- 001 -SE
Consistency with Land Development Regulations
Section 70- 373(b) requires that the Applicant address the following standards for
granting a Special Exception, during his /her presentation to the Board of Adjustment.
The Applicant has submitted, as part of the submission, brief statements and informa-
tion addressing these standards. The Applicant's statements are shown in Times Roman
typeface. Staff comments follow and are shown in bold Arial typeface.
(1)
Demonstrate that the proposed location and site are appropriate for the use.
"The proposed location was previously used as a child care center and remains in a
condition that would allow for the same use currently."
We agree that the location and site are appropriate for the use. The
property is located in an area that is primarily envisioned for commercial
uses. A daycare center is generally considered appropriate in proximity to
commercial and public /semi- public uses such as churches and is compa-
tible with nearby residential uses.
(2) Demonstrate how the site and proposed buildings have been designed so they
are compatible with the adjacent uses and the neighborhood, or explain why no
specific design efforts are needed.
(3)
"The proposed property is constructed in a way that matches the surrounding area and
that allows the property to be used as a childcare facility with no special design efforts
required."
We agree. The subject property and associated buildings have been laid
out, designed and used for daycare purposes in the past, and, no specific
design efforts are necessary.
Demonstrate any landscaping techniques to visually screen the use from
adjacent uses; or explain why no visual screening is necessary.
"The property currently has fencing in place that will protect the children while they are
on the playground. No use of the property would require additional screening."
We agree. The operational characteristics and impacts of a daycare facility
involve no nuisance or visual factors that require visual screening from
adjacent commercial or residential uses beyond the standard landscaping
and buffering requirements of the LDC.

(6) Demonstrate how the impact of traffic generation will be handled off site and on-
site.
"Please refer to Question 4."
According to the Applicant, the prior day care use had about 99 students
and the Applicant expects about the same. With regard to traffic, using the
Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) 8th Edition traffic generation rates, we
estimate that traffic during the peak hour will approximate 64 trips. While
this is a significant level of traffic, it does not meet the City's threshold of
100 trips per peak hour that triggers the need for a traffic analysis.
This is just over one per minute, presumably during the peak morning and
afternoon pick -up and drop -off times. Depending on how the two circular
driveways are used one might expect some back up onto SW 2nd Avenue.
We expect this would not be appreciably different from that having
occurred when the property was previously operated as a daycare center.
Section 70- 373(c) (1) — (8)
When reaching a conclusion on a Special Exception request, the Board of Adjustment
shall consider and show in its record the following findings as set forth in Section 70-
373(c)(1) — (8). The required findings are listed below followed by the Applicant's
statements in Times Roman typeface after which are the Staff comments in bold Arial
typeface.
(1) The use is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements.
"The Property is in the Commercial Future Land Use classification and is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan requirements."
We agree. The Commercial Future Land Use Category envisions a wide
variety of commercial uses, and a childcare center falls within this category
of uses.

Section 90- 223(1)."
We agree. The CPO district allows a daycare center as a Special Exception
use.
The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
"Although the adjoining properties on three sides are single family residences, there is
nearby commercial use. On SW 2nd Avenue, to the south, there is a walk -in clinic, and a
small commercial strip center. To the west of the Property, there is a church and an
insurance office. Because of such commercial use nearby, the daycare use is consistent
with the overall mixed use area and would not have an adverse effect on the public
interest."
We agree. We would not expect the use, its operation and impacts to
significantly differ from those associated with the prior use of the property.
(4) The use is appropriate for the proposed location, is reasonably compatible with
adjacent uses and is not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns.
"The Property previously functioned as a daycare. Although exact dates cannot be sup-
plied, it is estimated that such use continued for at least 15 years. The Property is in an
area of mixed use (see answer #3 for more details). Therefore, the use of this Property as
a daycare is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses and is not detrimental to
urbanizing land use patterns."
We agree that the location and site are appropriate for the use. The
property is located in an area that is primarily envisioned for commercial
uses. A daycare center is generally considered appropriate in proximity to
commercial and public /semi - public uses such as churches and is compa-
tible with nearby residential uses. The land use pattern in this area
anticipates professional uses and offices and their supporting uses.

The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a
deterrent to the development of adjacent property.
"The Property previously functioned as a daycare and there does not appear to have
been any adverse effect upon property values or living conditions in the area. Further,
there does not appear that there was any deterrent to the development of adjacent
property.
We agree.
(6) The use may be required to be screened from surrounding uses to reduce the
impact of any nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses.
(7)
"The daycare use should not pose a nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses. The children
will be inside the facility for the majority of the day, with short outside play times. The
area where the children will play is fenced, and therefore they will not be entering upon
adjacent property and will not be a hazard to such adjacent properties or property
owners. At Least one side of the property currently has an opaque fence for screening; at
this time, there are no plans to install additional fencing."
We agree.
The use will not create a density pattern that will overburden public facilities such
as schools, streets, and utility services.
"There will be some traffic at drop off and pick up, but it will not be extreme. There is a
paved circular drive in front of northernmost building and an unpaved circular drive in
front of the southernmost building, that will eliminate (or substantially reduce) cars from
parking and /or idling on the road during these times."
Density is not an issue with a commercial use and no increase in
commercial intensity is envisioned that would have a negative effect upon
public services or facilities.
Depending on how the two circular driveways are used one might expect
some back up onto SW 2nd Avenue. This will likely be similar in character
to that which may have occurred under the previous daycare operation.
Refer to our response to Standard 4 of Sec. 70- 373(b) beginning at the top
of page 5 of this Staff Report.

(8) The use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or
otherwise affect public safety.
It is not anticipated that reestablishing this daycare use would create traffic congestion,
flooding, or drainage problems, or otherwise affect, public safety. There will be some
traffic at drop off and pick up, but it will not be enough to cause traffic congestion. No
outdoor construction is anticipated at this time and therefore, re- establishing this use
should not cause flooding or drainage problems. Providing a daycare facility for the
community will actually help families to keep their young children safe and cared -for,
rather than cause public safety problems.
We agree that neither will traffic congestion be increased nor traffic safety
be compromised by the operation of a daycare center on the property at a
level of intensity approximating that which previously operated on the
property. Since there is no physical change to the structure or other
improvements on the property, drainage will remain essentially the same
as previous.
Recommendation
Based upon the foregoing analysis and findings, Staff recommends that Petition
Number 15- 001 -SE be Approved with the stipulation that:
The deteriorating portion of the driveway on the northern portion of the
property and the unpaved part of the southern driveway should be paved in
a manner that provides for a dustless surface approved by the City. Also,
parking spaces for employees should be marked and handicapped spaces
should be identified and meet state standards.

OKEECHOBEE POLICE TICKET /ACCIDENT ANALYSIS
FEBRUARY 2015
The City Council concurred that we needed to step up our
traffic control due to traffic congestion - construction,
speeding, accidents...see detail below:
Traffic accidents (historical) in the City for Dec -Jan over the last 3 years.
Dec 2012 = 46 Dec 2013 = 33 Dec 2014 = 52
Jan 2013 = 41 Jan 2014 = 39 Jan 2015 = 53
Total 87 72 105
Ticket activity (historical) prior yr two month v current year two month:
Dec 2013 Jan 2014
Warnings: 19 28
Citations 25 45
Total: 44 + 73 = 117
Dec 2014 Jan 2015
Warnings: 144 264
Citations 96 157
Total: 240 + 421 = 661
Major Peterson, "We started strictly enforcing the speed limit and red Tight violations
beginning in December. This was in response to our observations, and an increased
number of citizen complaints regarding the impact of the ongoing construction on the
traffic coming through town. As you can see, we conducted 661 traffic stops this
past December and January, compared to 117 traffic stops during the same period
last year. Based on our observations the enhanced enforcement has had a
significant impact on the traffic passing through the construction area, they have
slowed down. Nothing generates citizens' complaints more than traffic enforcement;
surprisingly this has not been the case. We have received numerous calls of
appreciation, but very few complaints."
