E. 3rd AVENUE OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA 33472 763 - 5521 April 7, 1983 MEMORANDUM TO: Mr. Fellows FROM: Chief Mobley PHILLIP W. PURVIS Lieutenant IN RE: Parking along S. W. Park St. in front of Council on Aging. The Council on Aging has a parking lot for their people. This lot was not sufficient and the City got permission to use property across the street for parking. This property in the wet season becomes muddy and can't be used without vehicles getting stuck. Therefore, those vehicles are again parking along the street causing a traffic hazard. To further complicate the problem, Billy Suarez and Joe Perry both have businesses in the same area. Suarez handles people from groves and work crews and they park along the street in front of his house. Joe Perry runs a body shop and his cus- tomers park along the street. We have had complaints about this area also. If No Parking signs are erected 'along the street in front of the Council on Aging, I feel we should in all fairness also put up signs in front of Suarez and Perry's places. I feel that if the property arranged for by the City for park- ing by the Council on Aging could be shelled so that it can be used by them at all times, it would alleviate the problem on the street as far as they are concerned. However, we still have a problem as far as Suarez and Perry are concerned and at this time, I have no easy solution. While we are on the subject of parking, Mr. Norton of Comet Cleaners is considering making a pick up and delivery spot for his cleaning customers at his residence on S. W. llth Avenue and South Park Street. This may be a potential parking problem as well. -1- LARRY MOBLEY• Chief Of Pollee Page 2 MEMORANDUM TO MR. FELLOWS IN RE: Parking along S. W.

PURVIS Lieutenant Keeping in mind the parking problem we already have in this area with the Council on Aging, Billy Suarez and Joe Perry's Body Shop, I believe the City should consider the existing problem very carefully before allowing any changes that may create further parking hazards.

This property is located at 100 S.W. llth Avenue. Request: Rezoning request to be used as Comet Cleaners pickup and for the business of Instant Tee's. Discussion: There were objections voiced. (see attached) Action Taken: Board members reviewed the sixteen requirements with no objections to the findings and all in accord. Member Altobello moved to recommend to City Council to grant the rezoning from Residential Single Family to Commercial. Seconded by Member O'Connor. Members Altobello, Kirk and O'Connor voted yes. Member Ferneau voted no. Member Wright was absent. Ja eS E. Kirk Manning Board Chairman City of Okeechobee JEK:nbc We the undersigned are opposed to the rezoning request of Wallace Norton for the following reasons: 1) Inadequate parking - lot size so narrow cars will have to back into the street to get out; and the City right -of -way may have have to be used for parking. 2) Additional traffic will create a greater hazard than the existing problems caused by Council on Aging. 3) Once rezoned anything allowed in Commercial zoning can go in. 4) The majority of the surrounding property (other than directly on South Park Street) is Residential, Single Family. We urge the members of the Planning & Zoning Board to survey the area prior to rendering any decision regarding the request. z",76W vv' ( �/ i E_ ,', A-4-5-- (9- Z. ch-,..z_- tiv 1-3 ,6:„Le., 4°6-27(2-9/ k j. \. s / 47, ... e )...5 1(.2 ,2;./)... 4 44- Pe9-1-k-) ( 1X2 r Gi / 1i.< (-' A-a.) /0 0 ts2A— cd- / I rti /�L� /US /UtJ ,r t /; n / J' JI s t sr7 // /17 1 i • A- /et. -f-L `g ) // / 7 4 / / 4 / 6 ,7,/- 0/6 >� x A( /4( Pk 37— 914a ilov. 26---1- r/ Oo. fk oq-e;g4,6 Ier� tC%tct rJtcJ, ICCL( /&, (6 /CCU`/ 6t& '�`°H" / / //- ws.
