V. NEW BUSINESS — Chairperson.
A. Site Plan Review Application No. 16- 001 -TRC, regards to converting an existing 8,279 square foot former bank
building into a proposed restaurant with outdoor dining as the principal use in addition to accessory retail and
office uses, associated parking, and to request a 20 percent parking reduction, on approximately 1.858 acres,
located at 1506 South Parrott Avenue, Okeechobee, FL. (U.S. Highway 441 South), Lots 1, 2, 7 and 8, of
Block 28, south Okeechobee, Plat Book 1, Page 12, and Lots 3 to 6 and 9 to 12, less the South 30 feet of Lots
6 and 12, of Block 28, First Addition to South Okeechobee, Plat Book 1, Page 17, Public Records of
Okeechobee County Florida, - Senior Planner.
Planning Staff Report: Planner Brisson explained the property owner, Mr. Raymond Arrants, is proposing to
modify the former TD Bank building to accommodate a restaurant as the principal use along with some retail
TRC - February 18, 2016 - Page 2 of 6
V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED.
Site Plan Review Application No. 16- 001 -TRC continued.
and office uses. In addition, he is proposing to convert the former drive -thru banking area to outdoor dining.
The site is provided potable water and sewer service although the demand for the proposed restaurant is
expected to exceed the former bank use. Taking this into account, the applicant should obtain a letter from
Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) documenting there is adequate capacity and facilities. The County has
confirmed a considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal needs. No
drainage calculations were provided, although should additional pervious area need to be converted to parking,
the applicant will need to submit the current and proposed extents of the pervious and impervious surfaces. It
would be apparent that the total traffic generated from the proposed uses would be considerably less than
calculated for the former bank and thereby will not burden the City's roadway system. Access to the site will be
through the main two -way driveways on Southwest 15th and 16th Streets. Patrons using certain rear parking
spaces on the north side of the outside dining area will be able to exit by the main driveways as well as the one -
way driveway onto Southwest 16th Street although, patrons parking on the south side of the outside dining area
will only be able to exit via the one -way driveway.
Planner Brisson noted several concerns with the proposed parking. The first issue is determining the number of
spaces due to the discrepancies with determining the exact amount of square footage each use will occupy.
When a restaurant is proposed with an accessory retail operation it is particularly important to have a defined
floor plan and an explanation of how the uses will operate because of the dramatic difference in the parking
requirements. According to the initial floor plan, 74 parking spaces are required. The revised floor plan did not
explain the retail square footage accurately. Based on the information provided, Mr. Brisson calculated 79
parking spaces would be required and provided specifics of his determinations. The actual parking requirement
cannot be calculated until a more detailed floor plan is submitted.
The second issue with parking is the location of the additional spaces. There are 37 ninety- degree spaces on
the property. The additional parking includes six angled, eight ninety- degree, six parallel, and two direct pull in
spaces totaling 59 off- street parking spaces, four of which are designated for the handicapped.
The third issue with parking is the design of the additional spaces. The City's Land Development Regulations
(LDR's) have no specific dimensional requirements for parallel spaces. The six spaces located along the right
side of the westernmost drive aisle meet the standard requirement and provide for maneuvering, although the
three southernmost spaces are located in such a manner that emergency service and other large vehicles may
have difficulty. The first direct pull in space is located in close proximity to one of the parallel spaces and the
second direct pull in space would essentially be considered a parallel space should the first space be occupied.
Mr. Brisson is of the opinion that these spaces are neither safe nor convenient. Two spaces located on the west
side of the building on either side of the outdoor dining area are questionable in that there may not be sufficient
space to back out and exhaust fumes would spew into the area.
The Applicant is also requesting a recommendation to use fourteen on- street parking spaces along Southwest
2nd Avenue to reach the 73 required under their revised allocation of interior floor space. It is our understanding
that these on- street spaces have been provided to accommodate anticipated peak periods of usage by visitors
to the library.
TRC - February 18, 2016 - Page 3 of 6
V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED.
Site Plan Review Application No. 16- 001 -TRC continued.
The next issue with the proposed site plan is the location of the loading zone. The proposed location used to be
a driveway connecting the drive - through area of the bank to the south and west parking areas of the property
Access would be from the main entrance on Southwest 16th Street, however should vehicles occupy some or all
of the parking spaces south of the building, the vehicle in the loading zone would need to back up about 100
feet or back into the parking area and reverse direction in order to exit. The first method is not safe and neither
one is acceptable. Mr. Brisson suggested the two spaces in the parking lot to the west remain vacant so the
loading zone could be accessed from Southwest 15th Street and exited by Southwest 16th Street. The loading
zone could be merely striped so that when not in use, it could serve its original purpose of connecting the two
areas and providing a loop system of internal circulation.
The last issue with the proposed site plan is the location of the dumpster. It is shown in the same location as
the former bank, at the southwest corner of the parking lot. Access is by Southwest 15th Street, passing under
the overhang of the outdoor dining area and then backing up to exit out to Southwest 16th Street. This could be
difficult should the one proposed parallel parking space just north of the dumpster be occupied. Mr. Brisson
believes this space to be unacceptable and commented the dumpster location will work fine should it be
removed.
In conclusion, Mr. Brisson is recommending the applicant resubmit and provide a detailed floorplan of the
proposed uses that accurately reflects the area associated with each use and to redesign the site plan
reflecting the required parking spaces needed.
Mr. Steven Dobbs of SLD Engineering, LLC, was present for Mr. Arrants as well as Mr. Cory Penrod with
Penrod Construction and Mr. Wes Abney with Abney Building & Consulting, Inc. Mr. Dobbs began by
apologizing for the incompleteness of the plans. He had a short timeframe in which to submit for this meeting as
his client is working with a tight deadline. A lengthy discussion ensued addressing the parking concerns,
possibly omitting the outdoor dining area for now, and determining the square footage for the retail and
restaurant spaces. He commented on the parking concerns by stating that he believes there are areas on site
where spaces can be added and asked the Committee whether a special meeting could be called to resubmit
plans so his client would not need to wait until the April meeting.
The applicant, Mr. Ray Arrants was present as well. He explained a little bit about the history of Lightsey's and
how it started as a fish house. He told of how the display cases were introduced into the restaurant and how
that market has grown. He envisioned Lightsey's being half restaurant and half retail. He commented that he
really would like to keep the outdoor dining area and realized there were parking concerns. He was trying to
keep costs down and questioned other parking arrangements with restaurants in the City. Administrator Montes
De Oca explained that changing the use from a bank to a restaurant triggered the requirement of more parking.
He further commented the last two site plans submitted for restaurants in the City complied with the required
parking. The square footage for one of those proposed restaurants was actually reduced in order to meet the
parking requirements for the site.
County Environmental Health Department: No issues were received.
OUA: Mr. Hayford questioned why a grease trap was needed as the plans that were provided to him showed no
kitchen. In addition, a complete set of plumbing plans would be needed in order to do the calculations to
determine the sizes for the water and sewer meters. Currently a 3/4 inch meter exists on the property and it
would probably be under sized for these proposed uses. The plumbing plans should also show where the water
fixtures are located and how many customers are in each area.

V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED.
Site Plan Review Application No. 16- 001 -TRC continued.
Building Official: Building Official Newell commented for the record a building permit was issued for interior
demolition work and that he required a letter from Mr. Arrants acknowledging the risk in doing this work before
obtaining approval for the project from the TRC. No other issues were received other than the previously
discussed ones.
Public Works: No other issues were received other than the previously discussed ones.
Police Department: Police Chief Davis commented for the record Mr. Arrants and his Mother, Beverly, were his
cousins. Form 8B Memorandum of Voting Conflict for County, Municipal, and other Public Officers is not
required as cousin is not included in the listing as a relative. He inquired about other restaurants like Cracker
Barrel that had both retail and restaurant uses and how this proposed plan differed. Planner Brisson replied the
restaurant for Cracker Barrel is totally separate from the retail component whereas the floor plan provided for
this proposed use has the servers passing back and forth through the retail area to access the kitchen.
Fire Department: Lieutenant Crum voiced some concern with interior demolition work being done before a final
floor plan was reviewed by the Fire Chief in case for example a wall that was taken down needed to actually be
there. The Chief may have some issues with the different occupancies and would need to make sure everything
complied with the fire statutes. In addition, given the design of the parking spaces west of the outside dining
area should the ladder truck ever be needed at this location, it will not be able to access the area because of
the swing radius needed.
Chairperson Montes De Oca commented he felt the site had ample space to add more parking and that the
applicant needs to demonstrate the onsite parking before seeking the offsite reduction. He doesn't believe
these are problems, just challenges. He further commented the City is here to help as we want the business to
come and succeed.
City Attorney John Cook added the applicant should submit a revised floor plan that is more detailed and a new
site plan that shows an attempt was made to add more onsite parking spaces. Then, should this Committee not
make a recommendation to the City Council for approval of a parking reduction to allow some offsite parking,
he could still take that issue before the Council himself.
Chairperson Montes De Oca asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance.
David Hazellief addressed the Committee to give some history and details regarding the construction of the
library. He explained both Block 27 where the Library was built, and Block 28 where the proposed restaurant is
to be built, were both owned by the County and the area located between Southwest 15th and 16th Streets was
a grass lot used as the football field. When the construction for the new Library was being considered, the
County Commissioners and Mr. George Long, the County Administrator at the time, asked the City to pave that
portion of street now identified as Southwest 2nd Avenue, and install parking spaces to be used as overflow
parking for the second phase of the project. To date the second phase has not been built and most of the time
these spaces are not used.
Chairperson Montes De Oca asked Committee Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to
anyone else regarding the application or visited the site. Building Official Newell disclosed he had conversations
with Mr. Abney and Mr. Penrod regarding the project and Administrator Montes De Oca disclosed he also had
spoken to Mr. Penrod regarding the interior demolition and to Mr. Dobbs regarding the project.

parking, and to request a 20 percent parking reduction, on approximately 1.858 acres, located at 1506
South Parrott Avenue, Okeechobee, FL. (U.S. Highway 441 South), Lots 1, 2, 7 and 8, of Block 28, south
Okeechobee, Plat Book 1, Page 12, and Lots 3 to 6 and 9 to 12, less the South 30 feet of Lots 6 and 12,
of Block 28, First Addition to South Okeechobee, Plat Book 1, Page 17, Public Records of Okeechobee
County, Florida, and resubmit by end of day, February 24, 2016, all materials needed for a new site plan
review for the next meeting, date certain, March 17, 2016. He further amended the motion to include
should the material not be submitted by the deadline date of February 24, 2016, the application would
then be heard at the next meeting according to the published submittal and hearing date schedule.
Motion carried unanimously.
B. Site Plan Review Application No. 16- 002 -TRC, in regards to adding a 24 by 36 foot modular building for the
proposed use of an employee breakroom at Entegra Roof Tile Corporation on approximately 3.799 acres, Lot 7,
City of Okeechobee Commerce Center, Plat Book 7, Page 10, Public Records of Okeechobee County Florida,
and located at 1289 Northeast 9th Avenue, Okeechobee, FL. - Senior Planner.
Chairperson Montes De Oca explained a Planning Staff Report was not required for this application. The
property is located in the Okeechobee Commerce Center in the City of Okeechobee, Florida and as part of the
Declaration of Protective Covenants dated May 4, 2004, an approval is required from the Technical Review
Committee (TRC) for any improvements or additional structures to the property. The applicant simply wishes to
add a modular building in front of the south east corner of the company building. The building will be painted,
skirted, tied down, have electrical hook ups and will not have any bathroom facilities.
The applicant, Mr. Jeff Kruse, Continuous Improvement Manager for Entegra Roof Tile Corporation, was
present for any questions. There were none. There were also no comments or questions from those in
attendance.
Chairperson Montes De Oca asked Committee Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to
anyone else regarding the application or visited the site. Building Official Newell disclosed he had met with Mr.
Kruse at the site to look at the unit and discuss the placement location with him. Chairperson Montes De Oca
also commented he had spoken to Mr. Kruse about the project and met onsite with him.
Motion and second offered by Building Official Newell and Public Works Director Allen to approve the
site plan review in regards to adding a 24 by 36 foot modular building for the proposed use of an
employee breakroom at Entegra Roof Tile Corporation on approximately 3.799 acres, Lot 7, City of
Okeechobee Commerce Center, Plat Book 7, Page 10, Public Records of Okeechobee County Florida,
and located at 1289 Northeast 9th Avenue, Okeechobee, Florida.
Motion carried unanimously.

FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property
interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including
Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property
interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To
inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real
property interest by TD BANK, N.A. ( "Seller "), the undersigned hereby certifies the following
on behalf of TD BANK, N.A.:
1. Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign person, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or
foreign estate (as those forms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax
Regulations).
2. Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in Reg. §1.1445- 2(b)(2)(iii).
3. The U.S. employer /tax identification number of Seller is: 01- 0137770.
4. The office address of Seller is as follows:
17000 Horizon Way
Mount Laurel. N.1
The undersigned understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue
Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine,
imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my
knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority
to sign this document on behalf of Seller.

Change of Use for TD Bank to Restaurant
for
Lightsey's Restaurant, Inc.
City of Okeechobee, Florida
Prepared December, 2015

Okeechobee, FL 34974

Purpose: The purpose of this report is to provide the City of Okeechobee County with the calculations and
documentation to demonstrate that the revised site plan for the proposed project complies with applicable
City Code and LDRs.
Project Description: This parcel is 1.86 acres in size and is located in Sections 28, Township 37 South,
Range 35 East. It is located in the City of Okeechobee, on Highway 4415 between SW 15th and SW I6'h
Street, on the following parcel (Parcel ID 3- 28- 37 -35- 0050- 00280- 0030). The site was originally developed
as Riverside National Bank, TD Bank then took over, but kept the use as a bank. The current owner wishes
to change the use to restaurant and retail . The site currently has a fully constructed 8,279 sf building
including drive thru and canopy areas, parking area, and drainage system that discharged into FDOT's
drainage system at the southeast corner of the property.
No changes to the existing drainage system are proposed.
Proposed Modifications: This request is for a single phase construction permit modify the site by adding
additional parking and closing the drive thru lanes and convert that area to outdoor seating.
Potable water and gravity wastewater will continue to be provided by Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA)
at the existing tie in locations east of the building for potable water and northeast of the building for the
wastewater. An inline grease trap for the kitchen wastewater stream will be added as required by the health
department. This project will incrementally increase the existing potable water demand on OUA.
Drainage Considerations: As previously stated, no changes to the drainage system are proposed.
Parking:
Please see parking calculations attached. Since the existing parking onsite is not enough to supply all the
parking for the building, the owner request the TRC to recommend to the City Council a 20% parking
reduction as allowed by the City's LDRs.
Construction Recommendations: Runoff and /or any water generated by short-term dewatering, if required
during construction will be contained on -site. However, there is some potential for transport of sediment to
off -site areas should heavy rainfall occur. In order to reduce the potential of any off -site transport of sediment
or turbidity we recommend installation and maintenance of temporary silt fence inside the southerly property
line in the area of the proposed paving of the existing rock road and upstream of the existing control structure
until site work has been completed and the site has been stabilized. (The existing perimeter berm should
prevent any potential off -site transport of sediment from other areas of the site during construction.)
Conclusions: In my professional opinion, the proposed construction should have no impact to existing
drainage patterns off -site and should have no impact on off -site areas. The recommendations above should
be followed during and after the site work until such time as the ground surface has been adequately stabilized
to prevent the off -site transport of any soil or suspended solids. The proposed design and construction will
comply with applicable state and local requirements.

Subject: Lightsey's Commercial Rentals Traffic Statement
Dear Reviewer:
Steven L. Dobbs Engineering, LLC, has completed an analysis of the traffic generation statement for the
above referenced facility. The project is converting from a bank with approximately 7,800 sf of gross floor
area including drive thru to a 5,000 sf restaurant with approximately 2,200 sf of retail space.
This analysis was based on a spreadsheet distributed by the Florida Department of Transportation, which is
based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trim Generation Manual (8th Edition). The results
indicate the existing bank (ITE code 912) would generate 1,156 daily trips with 201 peak PM trips with 101
being in and 101 being out. The proposed quality restaurant (ITE code 931) will generate (from the FDOT
spreadsheet) 450 daily trips with a PM Peak Total of 37 trips with 25 being in and 12 being out and the
proposed supermarket (ITE code 850) will generate (from the FDOT spreadsheet) 225 daily trips with a
PM Peak Total of 12 in and 11 out. The total traffic projections for the two proposed uses are 675 daily
trips, 60 PM Peak with 37 in and 23 out, which is less projected traffic than the bank would generate which
will cause no undue burden to the local traffic patterns.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Steven L. Dobbs Engineering
Steven L. Dobbs, P. E.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Applicant is proposing to modify the former 6,076 square foot TD Bank building to
accommodate about 5,339 square feet of restaurant as the principal use with
accessory retail and internal office use. The Application allocates the interior square
footage in the following manner:
Restaurant use: 3,242 square feet
Internal office use: 81 square feet
Retail use: 2,016 square feet
Total 5,339 square feet
However, there remains a discrepancy of 737 square feet between the total indoor
square footage above and the 6,076 square feet of heated space referenced in Mr.
Dobbs email of February 5th
In addition, the Applicant is proposing to convert the former drive -thru banking area to
1,686 square feet of outdoor dining for a total of 4,928 square feet of restaurant space.

ADEQUACY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES
POTABLE WATER AND SANITARY SEWER. The site is provided potable water and
sewer service by Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). The demand for potable water
and sewer service associated with the uses described previously are expected to
exceed that associated with the former bank use. The Applicant should obtain a letter
from OUA confirming that it has adequate capacity to provide service for the proposed
use.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL. On a number of occasions, the County has confirmed a
considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal
needs of other developments in the City. It appears reasonable that the volume of
solid waste associated with a development of this size can also be accommodated
within the capacity of the County's Solid Waste Facility.
DRAINAGE. The Applicant has provided no calculations as to the extent of pervious
and impervious surface and, while the Applicant has proposed a slight increase in the
extent of impervious surface as a result of the conversion of some grassed area into
parking spaces, he has stated that there will be no changes to the drainage system.
Nevertheless, later discussion will show that it is likely that additional pervious area
may need to be converted to parking, in which case the Applicant will need to provide
the current and proposed extents of pervious and impervious surfaces.
TRAFFIC, INGRESS AND EGRESS
TRAFFIC GENERATION
The Applicant has calculated the likely traffic generation of the proposed mix of uses
based on ITE's 8th Edition Trip Generation Report. It is apparent that the proposed
uses will generate considerably less traffic than that calculated for the former TD Bank.
Consequently, we agree that there will be no increase in peak hour traffic as a result of
the proposed use.
INGRESS AND EGRESS
Ingress and egress for indoor dining patrons will be afforded via the main two -way
driveways on SW 15th and SW 16th Streets. While patrons of the outside dining area
will be able to access the area via either driveway, only those patrons parking in the
first three parallel spaces and the five spaces on the north side of the outside dining
area will be able to exit via the main driveways as well as the one -way driveway onto
SW 16th Street. Patrons parking in the spaces on the south side of the outside dining
area would have to exit via the one -way driveway.

PARKING AND INTERIOR CIRCULATION, LOADING ZONE, AND DUMPSTER
PARKING NEED BASED ON THE PRELIMINARY FLOOR PLAN
Normally the interior floor plan of a proposed use is not a substantive issue. However,
in the case of a restaurant with an accessory retail operation it is particularly important
to have a defined floor plan and an explanation of how the principal and accessory
uses will operate because of the dramatic difference in the parking requirements.
Specifically, one space is required for each 75 square feet of restaurant floor area, but
just one space per each 300 square feet of accessory retail and /or interior office space.
In the Applicant's original submission, 5,000 square feet were allocated to the indoor
and outdoor dining areas, 2,209.3 square feet were allocated to the retail component
(including the internal office) for a total of 7,209.3 square feet of floor area
Using the above referenced parking standards, the Applicant showed a need for 74
spaces.
Because the "preliminary Floor Plan" submitted with the Application did not identify
which areas were allocated for restaurant use and which were devoted to the retail
use, I asked for a layout and calculation for each type of use. Apparently this had not
been done previously and someone must have used a "seat of the pants" approach to
determine the square footage of each component. Later that day received a floor plan
with the retail and indoor dining identified. [Please see Attachment 1 in the Appendix.]
The table below shows the Applicant's allocation of space within the building, the
additional outdoor dining space, and the resulting number of parking spaces required.

After reviewing the above revised preliminary floor plan, I seriously question allocating,
to the retail component, almost the entire area from the kitchen to the first restaurant
tables, including the host station area. Most of this area will be used in greeting and
directing the restaurant patrons and by the serving and busing staff in bringing and
returning the meals and dishes back and forth between the kitchen to the tables.
Similarly, the Applicant allocates one of the bathrooms at the far end of the dining area
to the retail component. Both restrooms should be considered part of the restaurant
rather than one being shown as retail space. After all, even if there were no retail
space a restaurant would need men's room and a ladies' room.

Site Plan Review
Applicant: Lightsey's Restaurant, Inc.— Raymond Arrants
Petition No.: 16- 001 -TRC
The Applicant's allocation, in my opinion, is not rational and results in an
understatement of the indoor restaurant area and the parking need associated with the
indoor dining component. In order to arrive at a more realistic assessment of the
parking need, we have prepared a sketch which allocates to the restaurant both
bathrooms, all of the area from the entrance and throughout the restaurant, and about a
nine -foot wide corridor for the servers and bus staff to travel between the kitchen
counter and the dining area. This sketch is provided as Attachment 2 in the Appendix.
Please note that the sketch only shows the area from the entrance down to the kitchen
and only includes calculations (in red) for the retail area. The balance of the area within
the building is devoted to the indoor restaurant.
We do not claim this arrangement to be the most desirable or even the most practical;
but, based on the locations of the retail and dining areas proposed by the Applicant, it
more accurately reflects the amount of space that should be allocated to each of the
uses.
The result of this re- allocation is that the area devoted to retail use is reduced to about
1,192 square feet and the indoor dining area is increased to about 4,147 square feet.
Consequently, the number of required parking spaces should be 79 rather than the 73
resulting from the Applicant's allocation of retail and restaurant space, as calculated in
the table below.

As can be seen, we believe that the actual parking requirement for uses as proposed in
the site plan and properly allocated would require as many as six more spaces than
contemplated in the current submission. The end result is that until a final, detailed
floor plan is submitted, we cannot determine the actual parking requirement. Without a
firm handle on the parking situation, it is impossible to evaluate and approve a site
plan. Nevertheless, we have reviewed the site plan as submitted with respect to its
consistency with aspects other than the allocation of interior space and the number of
required parking spaces.
PARKING SPACES – LOCATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
There are presently 37 parking spaces on the property. To address the additional
parking required by the proposed change in use, the Applicant is proposing to add 14
new angled or 90 °spaces, 6 new parallel spaces along the western internal drive aisle,
and two new spaces in one of the former drive -up lanes. This would increase the
number of off - street parking spaces to 59, four of which are designated for the
5

handicapped. The Applicant is also requesting a favorable recommendation for
approval to use existing on- street parking along SW 2nd Avenue to count towards the
remaining 14 needed parking spaces to reach the 73 required under the Applicant's
allocation of interior floor space.
a. Parallel parking spaces
While the LDRs have no specific dimensional requirements for parallel spaces, the
Site Plan shows six parallel spaces along the right side of the westernmost drive
aisle. These spaces are 10 feet wide and 22 feet long. These dimensions meet the
standard parking space requirement and provide another four feet for maneuvering.
This is a configuration typically found to be adequate.
However, the three southernmost parallel spaces are located in such a manner as
to inhibit free and convenient passage by vehicles, particularly emergency service
vehicles and other large vehicles.
b. Two spaces in former drive thru lane
The two north -south oriented parking spaces are shown in what used to be a bank
drive -thru lane. The first space is a direct pull -in parking space but the distance
between it and the third parallel space is just about 17 feet. The more southerly
space of the two spaces in the former drive -thru lane, however, would essentially
qualify as a parallel space in that if another car were in the first space, the occupant
of the space closest to the outdoor dining section would have to perform a parallel
parking maneuver to exit. In fact, if the first space were occupied and the southerly
space vacant, it would take a parallel parking maneuver to access the space. There
is a five -foot space provided in front of the southerly space to provide for this
maneuver.
However, the location of these spaces is a contrived configuration and they are only
placed there in an effort to meet the required number of parking spaces without
consideration to their safe and convenient location.
c. New spaces on west side of building
The location of the southernmost space under the north overhang of the outdoor
dining area is questionable. In order to back out of the space and head north to exit
it will have to back further under the overhang and, even if there is adequate back -
out space, will spew exhaust fumes into the dining area.
Similarly, it is not clear that the first parking space just west of the building and south
of the outdoor dining area has sufficient space to the north, under the outdoor dining
overhang to perform the back -out maneuver to head south to the one -way exit drive.
If there is adequate space, this will also result in spewing exhaust fumes into the
outdoor dining area. We believe both of these spaces are at best questionable.

LOADING ZONE
The loading zone is proposed to be located in what used to be the driveway connecting
the drive - through area of the bank to the parking lots at the south and west areas of the
property. In the proposed configuration, the loading zone would be accessed from the
main entrance drive on SW 16th Street and the parking aisle serving the south parking
lot. If there are cars in some or all of the parking spaces south of the building, the
vehicle in the loading zone would have to back up about 100 feet in order to reverse
direction and exit onto SW 16th Street. This is not an acceptable situation. The only
safe way to exit the loading zone would be to back out into the parking area, reverse
direction and head toward the exit drive. This is also unacceptable; required parking
spaces should not need to be used for a vehicle to safely exit a loading zone. We
believe this is not a proper location for the required loading zone.
Rather, we suggest that the two spaces in the parking lot to the west should not serve
as parking spaces, rather they should remain vacant providing a vehicular route from
the parking lot to the primary two -way drive to SW 16th Street. The area shown as the
loading zone could then be accessed via the 15th Street driveway and exit via the 16th
Street driveway. The loading zone could be merely striped so that, when not in use for
loading or unloading, it could serve its original purpose of connecting the two vehicular
service areas and providing a loop system of internal circulation.
DUMPSTER LOCATION
The dumpster is located in the same location as it was for the former bank, at the
southwest corner of the parking lot just south of the proposed outdoor dining area.
Access is provided via the driveway off SW 15th Street, passing under the overhang of
the outdoor dining area. Egress will be via a backup maneuver then out the western
12 -foot driveway to SW 16th Street. While it may be that the proposed lone parallel
parking space just north of the dumpster will be occupied, if it is, the back out
maneuver would likely be cumbersome. We have previously stated that this parallel
parking space is not acceptable. If removed, the dumpster location will work fine.
COMPARISON OF PROPOSAL WITH DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS, CHV ZONING
Minimum Parcel Size and Width, Setbacks, Lot Coverage, Impervious Surface
Coverage and Landscaping Requirements:
Since the use is being introduced into an existing building with no external modification
to the building and no significant increase in impervious surface coverage, none of the
above requirements need be considered. However, if the floor plan is changed, as we
believe necessary to accurately reflect the extent of the space used in the indoor dining
operations, more parking spaces will be needed and impervious surface calculations
will be necessary.

Petition No.: 16- 001 -TRC
REQUEST TO USE EXISTING ON- STREET PARKING
Depending on the actual configuration of the indoor uses and subsequent parking
requirement, the Applicant is requesting the use of most or all of the 16 parking
spaces along the east side of SW 2nd Avenue. It is our understanding that these on-
street spaces have been provided to accommodate anticipated peak periods of usage
by visitors to the library, either now or perhaps in the future.
Aside from the obvious fact that the proposed use of the subject property has been
expanded to the point that the required parking cannot be accommodated onsite
without additional work and expense, the Applicant has provided no documentation,
explanation or support for the request to use public on- street parking to meet its
private parking needs.
The subject property is a large site and adjustments should first be made on the
property to accommodate the needed parking. The use of the former drive -thru area
as outdoor dining alone encompasses 1,686 square feet and requires 22 parking
spaces. Depending on the allocation of the indoor space, the outdoor dining area will
represent between 40% and 52% of the total restaurant area. This greatly contributes
to the intensification of the site.
RECOMMENDATIONS
As stated before, without detailed floorplan of the proposed uses that accurately
reflects the extent of floor area that is associated with each proposed use, parking
requirements cannot be determined. As we all know, parking is one of the most
significant components of a site plan. Without an accurate account of the needed
parking we cannot conclude that any site plan meets the City's Land Development
Regulations. We have identified a number of deficiencies the correction of which
would essentially require the submittal of a new site plan. Based on the foregoing
analyses, we recommend that the site plan as submitted be rejected and the
Applicant be directed to prepare a new site plan based on the directives and
guidance provided by the TRC.
