COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE VOTE: KIRK — YEA CHANDLER — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA RITTER — YEA WATFORD — YEA MOTION CARRIED. Attorney Cook read proposed Ordinance No. 1138 by title only as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE BY REZONING A CERTAIN TRACT OF LAND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, FROM PUBLIC FACILITIES TO INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT (PETITION NO. 16-002-R); AMENDING THE ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDED FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Motion and second by Council Members Chandler and O'Connor to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1138. Mayor Kirk yielded the floor to Planner Brisson to present the item. He explained the Planning Board reviewed Petition No. 16-002-R on June 16, 2016, and found it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report and unanimously recommended approval. The City Council adopted a Future Land Use Map Amendment (Application No. 16-002-SSA) to IND for this property on July 19, 2016. The property was previously owned by the Florida Department of Transportation as their roadway maintenance storage facilities and offices. In order for the new owners to utilize this site, both the Future Land Use and Zoning are required to be consistent. The Planning Staff's findings were based on the following information: The proposed use is permitted in the IND Zoning District. It will not have an adverse effect on the public interest as the subject property will continue to be used in a similar manner as in the past. The property continues to be suitably located for industrial use and is adequately sized to provide for appropriate buffering and screening from nearby residential uses to the extent that may be necessary. It is reasonably compatible with surrounding land uses and is not contrary or detrimental to the urbanizing land use pattern. To the North are vacant lots with Multi -Family (MF) Future Land Use classification and Residential Multiple Family (RMF) Zoning. To the East are vacant lots and a retention pond with MF and IND Future Land Use, and RMF and IND Zoning. To the South is Okeechobee Asphalt and Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc., with an IND Future Land Use and Zoning. To the West is a vacant lot and one residence; the Future Land Use is Single Family (SF) and MF and the Zoning is Residential Single Family -One (RSF-1) and RMF. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions. The designation will not act as a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. There is nothing about the property that is so unique as to indicate that buffering could not be accommodated. It should not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. Traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or public safety issues should not be created based on the proposed, nor is it inordinately burdened by any unnecessary restrictions. 210 AUGUST 16, 2016 - REGULAR MEETING & BUDGET WORKSHOP - PAGE 4 OF 16 AGENDA VIII.

COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION -VOTE The Planning Staff's findings are as follows: The application was found to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, specifically Policy 2.2 and Objective 12 of the Future Land Use Element. This is the last residentially designated lot in the industrial corridor along the south side of Northwest 9th Street between Northwest 3rd and 9th Avenues. The requested IND designation for this property would complete the corridor without having a significant impact upon the residential areas to the North and West. The use of such a small parcel for industrial purposes will have virtually no effect upon the provision of potable water, wastewater treatment and disposal, solid waste collection and disposal, or on the local roadway system. The site has no unique characteristics with regard to environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions, or susceptibility to flooding. The application is found to be compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses which are: to the North, some vacant lots with SF Future Land Use and RMF Zoning; to the East, a material storage yard for Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete Inc. with an IND Future Land Use and Zoning; to the South, a material storage yard for CSX Railroad; to the West, a Church with a MF Future Land Use and RMF Zoning. Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. There were none. There was a brief discussion with the Council.

Administrator MontesDeOca deferred to Finance Director Riedel to explain this is a follow up to Resolution 2016-04, adopted July 19, 2016, which provided a special pay plan allowing for the deposit of employee funds for accrued annual and sick leave into a 401(a) Plan at time of separation with employment from the City or entering the Deferred Retirement Option Plan. AUGUST 16, 2016 - REGULAR MEETING & BUDGET WORKSHOP - PAGE 7 OF 16 Im AGENDA IX. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED B. Motion to adopt proposed Resolution No. 2016-06, amending the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual, Chapters 3 and 4, to add an additional benefit to City Employees who elect to retire prior to age 59Y2 continued. C. Motion to approve Renewal No. 1 to the Non-exclusive Professional Engineering Agreement with Culpepper & Terpening, Inc. for Professional Engineering & Survey Services awarded September 17, 2013 - City Attorney (Exhibit 5). COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE The 401(a) Plan is essentially a retirement plan; it requires anyone who opts to take a distribution of funds prior to the age of 59'/2 be assessed a 10 percent penalty for early withdrawal from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Prior to implementing the special pay plan, which put the employees accrued leave benefit within a retirement fund, the IRS penalty was not an issue. Resolution No. 2016-06 proposes that the City reimburse the individual up to 2.35 percent of the IRS penalty, being that they have already saved 7.65 percent by depositing the funds into the account. The City also has a savings of 7.65 percent from the FICA and Medicare portion of the taxes they would have to pay out. The 7.65 percent will now be reduced to 5.3 percent, still providing the City with a cost savings. Mr. Don Anders with Anders & Anders Financial Group, Inc., who administers the 401(a) Plan, was present and explained further. Should the individual roll the funds over to an IRA or a 457 Deferred Savings Account and not take a distribution, a penalty will not be assessed and the City will not provide anything. A penalty is assessed only when a distribution is taken from the 401(a) Plan when certain criteria are not met. The criteria are as follows: individuals who retire after 30 years of service and are at least 55 years old or will be at least 59'/2 years old upon separation. Following a brief discussion, the City Council thanked Mr. Anders for the clarification. VOTE: KIRK — YEA CHANDLER — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA RITTER — YEA WATFORD — YEA MOTION CARRIED. Motion and second by Council Members O'Connor and Chandler to approve Renewal No. 1 to the Non-exclusive Professional Engineering Agreement with Culpepper & Terpening, Inc. for Professional Engineering & Survey Services awarded September 17, 2013. Attorney Cook explained in addition to approving Renewal No. 1, he is requesting Addendum No. 1 be approved, which was distributed at the meeting. Effective July 1, 2016, Florida Statutes require very detailed record request requirements be included in amendments and renewals of existing contracts, as well as new ones. There is one paragraph that was inadvertently left out of the copy distributed for exhibit and will be added prior to executing. Council Member Watford moved to amend the motion to approve Renewal No. 1 with Culpepper & Terpening for engineering services contract by approving Addendum No. 1, and including necessary corrections as explained by Attorney Cook; seconded by Council Member O'Connor.

This budget addresses the use of those funds. Beginning Fund Balance is $339,642.00; TMDL Grant Revenue $403,838.00; Transfer -In from Capital Improvement Projects Fund, $16,020.00; Total Projected Expenditures of $759,500.00; leaving a Fund Balance of $0.00.

Materials distributed for consideration provided the current per capita for Florida personal income factor or Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) of 1.0375 percent. The budget impact to provide a 1 percent COLA to all full-time employees is $27,904.00 and part-time employees is $1,560.00. To provide a 1.5 percent COLA is $41,855.00 for full-time employees and $2,310.00 for part-time employees. To provide a 2 percent COLA is $55,807.00 for full-time employees and $4,680.00 for part-time employees. After much discussion on the salary options, the consensus of the Council was to present the budget at the first hearing with the step pay plan increase only. Unfortunately, a COLA does not seem possible at this time due to the considerable increase in the City's cost to provide health insurance benefits, not only this year, but for the last three years. The Council commended the Staff on the tremendous job done on the proposed Budget. There was not a clear consensus offered regarding the millage rate. All options offered included revenues from the non -ad valorem fire assessment However the assessment is not being considered until August 23, 2016. All items noted above were distributed at the meeting and made available for the public. 5q2- AUGUST 16, 2016 - REGULAR MEETING & BUDGET WORKSHOP - PAGE 16 OF 16 AGENDA X.

VOTE: KIRK — YEA CHANDLER — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA RITTER — YEA WATFORD — YEA MOTION CARRIED. c) Attorney Cook read proposed Ordinance No. 1138 by title only as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE BY REZONING A CERTAIN TRACT OF LAND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, FROM PUBLIC FACILITIES TO INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT (PETITION NO. 16-002-R); AMENDING THE ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDED FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE." 2.a) Motion and second by Council Members Chandler and O'Connor to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1138. b) Public comments and discussion. Planning Staff's findings are as follows: The proposed use, being a is permitted under the Industrial Zoning District. It will not have an adverse effect on the public interest as the subject property will continue to be used in a similar manner as in the past. The property continues to be suitably located for industrial use and is adequately sized to provide for appropriate buffering and screening from nearby residential uses to the extent that may be necessary. It is reasonably compatible with surrounding land uses and is not contrary or detrimental to the urbanizing land use pattern. To the North are vacant lots with Multi -Family (MF) Future Land Use classification and Residential Multiple Family (RMF) Zoning. To the East, vacant lots and a retention pond with MF and IND Future Land Use, with RMF and IND Zoning. To the South is Okeechobee Asphalt and Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc., with an IND Future Land Use and Zoning. To the West, is vacant and one residence, the Future Land Use is Single Family (SF) and MF and the Zoning is Residential Single Family -One (RSF1) and RMF. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions. It is not the opinion the designation will act as a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. There is nothing about the property that is so unique as to indicate that buffering, if needed, could not be accommodated. The proposed use should not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. The proposed use should not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by any unnecessary restrictions. Page 2 of 11 Questions from Council to BB: O'Connor - are they going to do the landscaping like they did before? BB — that is an administrative item, not addressed in zoning. DW: any responses? City Clerk Gamiotea reported fifteen notices were mailed to surrounding property owners with the signs posted on the property and noticed in the local newspaper. No objections or comments have been received to date. Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. There were none. Project Engineer Steve Dobbs was present on behalf of the applicant. c) Vote on motion. VOTE: KIRK — YEA CHANDLER — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA RITTER — YEA WATFORD — YEA MOTION CARRIED.

This is the last residentially designated lot in the industrial corridor along the south side of Northwest 9th Street between Northwest 31d and 9th Avenues. The requested industrial designation for this property would complete the corridor without having a significant impact upon the residential areas to the North and West. The use of such a small parcel for industrial purposes will have virtually no effect upon the provision of potable water, wastewater treatment and disposal, solid waste collection and disposal, or on the local roadway system. The site has no unique characteristics with regard to environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions or susceptibility to flooding. The application is found to be compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses which are; to the North, some vacant lots with SF Future Land Use and RMF Zoning; to the East, is a material storage yard for Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete Inc. with an IND Future Land Use and Zoning; to the South, is a material storage yard for Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete Inc. with an IND Future Land Use and RMF Zoning; to the West, is a Church with a MF Future Land Use and RMF Zoning.

DW — what are we doing here. MDO defer to IR. As you remember at the last meeting we approved The Standaard agreement. Anyone who draws the funds out who is 591/2, we will reimburse them the %, City still seeing savings. IE: Denny under 591/2 and is retiring, his funds will go into the new 401(a) account, the IRS penalizes those employees who are 591/2 or younger if they draw those funds out. To make that employee whole if they withdraw the funds. Why should we bear an additional expense? If we wouldn't have adopted the plan at the last meeting what would happen? The city and employee pays 7.5% in federal withdrawal. With the adoption of the plan, employees who are younger than 591/2 and withdrawn their funds they are being penalized by the IRS. Mr. Don Anders with the Standard, the reason you don't have this plan before now is we just haven't got to you get. The only way you incurred a 10% penalty if they roll it over to IRA or 457 there's no penalty, only if they take a distribution. A lot of county's don't make their employees whole. It's a cost savings for that for you and them. Apologize for not being at last meeting. will give you my card. DW these accounts, Anders & Anders Financial Firm. You get their business if they use you. Right, we charge a 2.5% admin fee. We give them options and help with advising. Orlando office in Maitland, Vero and New Symera Beach.

Would terminate the current $30,000 per year costs to contract the service out. We've changed contractors, at first it was good service, then went to poor service. Would be handled from our staff, CDL driver, flex their schedule out, they would sweep from 10 pm till done at least once per week.

Computer replacement. Replace exterior entrance doors and interior doors to the department at City Hall. 522 custom truck verses standard cab and chassis. Weve had both seems cab and chasses would be cheaper Eng 7 2000 chasses with an 1974 body. Dual GMC cab truck has lasted us a long time think that would be more equalnomical. Truck from MS is the cab and chassis. Eng 6 is the custom truck. Herb the bids are now by levels. You'll loose the quality within the truck and would not suggest or recommend the city do that. Issues with the body being married with the cab, turning radius problems. NFPA requirements would make it complex to piece meal it. State bid only specs custom trucks, not chasses only for fire trucks. We can check to see how they are broken out on the spec sheets. GR — you mentioned ona custom does it come complete with most of the equipment to fight fires opposed to pieces to put onto that .... HS — its alower grade, same equipment but not the quality of equipment the city should be looking fo. MO — GI fire truck at Ft. Leonard. HS they aren't structucal trucks that are used for our purpose. MO — they have all different kinds. NC — they are too slow. Comes to safety of the citizens, I want to make sure we have the best available equipment, if it costs a little more so be it, I want equipment to be operational when arriving at a scene. DW — apologize to dept heads haven't had time to discuss these questions individually and don't mean to ambush them, we just got the budgets yesterday, will most likely follow up with them. MDO — number of years of service past what is expected (10 vs 15 yrs) doing best they can wit their equipment. DW — want to know if they have cab and chassis that you then put a fire utility body on it, then the rest of the equipment. Use E-One as an example. Pg 25 Page 10 of 11 The proposed Budget is Other Grant (302) Funds. The City has applied for several grants to begin the construction of the Centennial Park located along Taylor Creek. This budget addresses the use of those funds should the grant(s) be awarded. Beginning Fund Balance is $339,642.00. Total Revenues $419,858.00. Expenditures of $759,500.00. Leaving a Fund Balance of $0.00. The and final proposed Budget for review is the Law Enforcement Special (601) Fund with a Beginning Fund Balance of $2,995.00. Total Revenues of $500.00. Total Expenditures as $1,750.00. Leaving a Fund Balance of $1,745.00. The discussion then turned to Salary options. Materials distributed for review were the proposed Step Plan for full-time and part-time positions. Annual income and what qualifies, information request by O'Connor, didn't make copies, family of 4 would qualify for WIC and/or food stamps if they make $44,000.00 or less. Our lowest maintenance operator annual salary is $30,848.00 and if they had a wife and two kids they could qualify for assistance. Per hour that is $14. and for Okeechobee that is an average wage. That doesn't include Palm Beach Post article about the school teacher after 10 years..... it takes a certain amount of money for people to survive. Watford, step and the increase in health insurance. O'Connor this is probably the only time I'm going to agree with Watford. Ritter insurance doesn't put bread on the table as you have said before. Watford agree with O'Connor. Kirk thinking 1.5%, Ritter thinking 2% could go 1.5%. Majority with the step only, no COLA. Department Heads have done a tremendous job. We have people who do a good job, they are conscience of the expenses and do everything to keep it down. MO — ran into Gil Culbreath and he said to me you guys on the city council are doing a heck of a job from Gil Culbreth, and we appreciate that. (Mr. Culbreath was present during the workshop). Watford thank Mayor for all the many years he has met with the department heads and stream lining this process. Ritter — my second year, getting better with this.

The proposed use being requested is permitted under the Industrial Zoning District. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest as the subject property will continue to be used in a similar manner as in the past. The property continues to be suitably located for industrial use and is adequately sized to provide for appropriate buffering and screening from nearby residential uses to the extent that may be necessary. It is reasonably compatible with surrounding land uses and is not contrary or detrimental to the urbanizing land use pattern. To the North, vacant lots with Multi -Family Future Land Use and RMF Zoning. To the East, vacant lots and a retention pond with Multi -Family and Industrial Future Land Use and RMF and Industrial Zoning. To the South is Okeechobee Asphalt and Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc., with an Industrial Future Land Use and Zoning. To the West, is vacant and one single family home, the Future Land Use is Single Family and Multi -Family and the Zoning is RSF1 and RMF. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions. It is not the opinion the designation will act as a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. There is nothing about the property that is so unique as to indicate that buffering, if needed, could not be accommodated. The proposed use should not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. The proposed use should not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by any unnecessary restrictions. City Clerk Gamiotea reported fifteen notices were mailed to surrounding property owners with the signs posted on the property. No objections or comments have been received to date.

FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR GRANTING A REZONING OR CHANGE IN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (Sec. 70-340, LDR page CD70:16) It is the Applicant's responsibility to convince the Planning Board/LPA and City Council that approval of the proposed rezoning is justified. Specifically, the Applicant should provide in his/her application and presentation sufficient explanation and documentation to convince the reviewing bodies to find that: 1. The proposed rezoning is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. (Rev 3/5/15) Page 6 of I I Findings required f^r rezoning or change in land developmerl -egulations (cont.) 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. The City staff will, in the Staff Report, address the request and evaluate it and the Applicant's submission in light of the above criteria and offer a recommendation for approval or denial. (Rev 09114) Page 7 of 11 Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc. Responses to Standards for Considering Changes in Zoning 1. The proposed change is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan Requirements; The proposed request in not contrary to the Comprehensive plan requirements and has been used and Public Facilities and Single Family Residential as the past land owners did. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations; The proposed request to continue to use the property as it has been used in the past is authorized under Industrial. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest; The proposed land use change would have no effect on the public interest as the property under the same ownership has been used as the current owner is planning to use it in the future. 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patters; The proposed use is appropriate for the location and compatible with the adjacent land uses as the parcel was previously used as the current owner is planning and there is Industrial Zoning to the east and south of this parcel. S. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a detriment to the improvement or development of adjacent property; As stated previously, the use has been the same on the property for many years as they will continue into the future and if there were any impact to the factors above, they would have already been realized. 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood; The property's use is not going to change as a result of this rezoning. The land to the north and northeast is zoned multifamily residential, however there is nothing currently developed on these properties. The land to the southeast is zoned industrial and is also undeveloped, but would require no screening. The land the west is zoned single family residential, while the land to the north west is undeveloped, there is a single family residence to the south west and can be screened if required by the City as there is already large trees existing on the east property line of the developed single family parcel. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services; The past use has not created nor will the future use create a density pattern that would overburden any of the public resources in the area. 8. The proposed use will be create traffic congestion, flooding, or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety; As there are currently no plans to construct additional facilities on this parcel, the use will not create nor have a detrimental impact to the factors stated above. This property has an existing ditch that currently discharges into the NW 9 h Street ROW there is no plan to change existing drainage patterns, nor impact public safety. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions; The proposed use is the same as the previous use, which has not caused the parcel to suffer from inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc. (Description of requested land use change and reason for request) Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc. currently owns approximately 6.5 acres located in Section 15, Township 37S, and Range 35E. The property's parcel ID is 3-15-37-35-0010-00400-0070. It is currently located in the City of Okeechobee with a current zoning of PUB — Public Facilities and a FLU of Public Facilities for the abandoned portion of NW 7 h Avenue between NW I Ph Street and NW 91 Street and the abandoned portion of NW 10'h Street between NW 8ffi Avenue and the east boundary of the parcel and block 27 and the west portion of block 28 in this parcel. Block 40 and the western portion of block 39 have a FLU of Single Family Residential. The primary intent of rezoning this parcel is to bring all land owned at this location into uniform zoning.

This application is for the City to grant a zoning on this parcel from the existing Public Facilities and Single Family Residential to Industrial. The existing access to this property is from NW 9 h Street from the south.

Request The matter before the Local Planning Agency and City Council is an application for rezoning of a 6.45-acre parcel currently zoned PUB, Public Facilities to IND, Industrial. The parcel is also the subject of a concurrent Small Scale Development Plan Amendment (SSA) to change 1.93 acres from Single -Family to Industrial and 4.52 acres from Public Facilities to Industrial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). . 1 :7,.:771 - -- 1 Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16-002-R The current and proposed Future Land Use designations, zoning, existing land uses, and acreage of the subject property and surrounding properties are shown in the following tables and on the maps on pages 8, 9 and 10.

The Applicant has provided comments to each of the required findings. These are repeated below in Times Roman typeface exactly as provided by the Applicant. Staff has made no attempt to correct typos, grammar, or clarify the Applicant's comments. Staff comments are shown in this Arial typeface. WIS 11i 1 „7 Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16-002-R 1. The proposed rezoning is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. "The proposed request is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements and has been used and Public Facilities and Single Family Residential as the past land owners did." Staff Comment: This rezoning application is being addressed concurrently with the Applicant's request for a Small Scale Development Plan Amendment (SSA) to the City's FLUM to change the Future Land Use designation from Public Facility and Single -Family to Industrial. Staff has recommended approval of that request and found the change to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. If the Applicant's request for an Industrial designation on the FLUM is approved, the only zoning district that is consistent with the Industrial Future Land Use category is IND, Industrial, and the Applicant's requested rezoning should be approved. On the other hand, If the City denies the FLUM change to Industrial, a rezoning to Industrial would be inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and should not be approved. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. " "The proposed request to continue to use the property as it has been used in the past is authorized under Industrial." Staff Comment: The Applicant intends to use the property much as it has historically been used by FDOT, i.e., "for materials storage (crushed concrete, asphalt millings, and other such construction materials) office, and construction equipment repair." Outdoor storage, business office, and mechanical and repair services are specifically identified in the list of permitted uses of the Industrial Zoning District under items (9), (1), and (6), respectively. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. "The proposed land use change would have no effect on the public interest as the property under the same ownership has been used as the current owner is planning to use it in the future." Staff Comment: As explained in the Staff Comments to the Small Plan Amendment (16-002-SSA), the continuation of the uses similar to those that have long been establish on the site will have no effect upon the ability of the various services providers to continue to provide public services. Furthermore, even if the property is developed to a greater intensity, public facility capacities will not be adversely affected. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Rezoning Petition No. 16-002-R Furthermore, we believe that an Industrial designation for the entire property would recognize its past and current use and could be considered a logical extension of the industrial corridor in this area and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. "The proposed use is appropriate for the location and compatible with the adjacent land uses as the parcel was previously used as the current owner is planning and there is Industrial Zoning to the east and south of this parcel." Staff Comment: We believe the subject property continues to be suitably located for industrial use and that its size is adequate to provide for appropriate buffering and screening from the nearby residential uses to the extent that may be necessary. The single-family use adjacent to the extreme southwest corner of the subject property, is located nearby to the existing Okeechobee Asphalt facility and has for many years been the nearest neighbor to the FDOT maintenance yard. 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. "As stated previously, the use has been the same on the property for many years as they will continue into the future and if there were any impact to the factors above, they would have already been realized." Staff Comment: Staffs assessment of the compatibility of the requested rezoning with adjacent land uses would support the opinion that the proposed uses will not adversely affect property values or living conditions. With regard to the industrial designation acting as a deterrent to development of adjacent property, the existing FDOT use was not a deterrent to the private market selection of the properties to its immediate north as the site of the Southern Trace multi -family development. Rather, this development was a victim of the housing bust associated with the "Great Recession". We believe that the areas of significant activity can be located sufficiently from the boundaries of the property to provide an adequate spatial buffer. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Rezoning Petition No. 16-002-R 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. "The property's use is not going to change as result of this rezoning. The land to the north and northeast is zoned multifamily residential, however there is nothing currently developed on these properties. The land to the southeast is zoned industrial and is also undeveloped, but would require no screening. The land the west is zoned single family residential, while the land to the north west is undeveloped, there is a single family residence to the south west and can be screened if required by the City as there is already large trees existing on the east property line of the developed single family parcel." Staff Comment: The current use appears to have adequate setbacks adjacent residential zoning. However, Sec. 90-454 requires that outdoor storage uses are screened from adjacent residential zoning districts. This applies whether or not the residentially zoned properties are vacant or developed. While there is a fence along the perimeter of the property, in no place does it appear that this fence serves to visually screen the uses from adjoining residentially zoned properties. To the extent that outdoor storage occurs, or will occur along, the eastern property line adjacent to the RMF zoning, or the western property line adjacent to the RMF or RSF1 zoning, screening should be provided as required by §90- 454 in nonresidential districts. There is nothing about the property that is so unique as to indicate that buffering or screening, if needed, could not be accommodated. 7. The use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. "The past use has not created nor will the future use create a density pattern that would overburden any of the public resources in the area" Staff Comment: The proposed use is not residential and therefore has no density component or effect upon schools. Furthermore, the intensity of the proposed use has been described in both this and the Staff Report for 16-002-SSA in a manner that clearly indicates that neither the actual proposed uses nor other likely or allowable industrial uses would overburden water, sewer, solid waste facilities or local transportation facilities. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16-002-R 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affectpublic safety. "As there are currently no plans to construct additional facilities on this parcel, the use will not create nor have a detrimental impact to the factors stated above. This property has an existing ditch that currently discharges into the NW 9's Street ROW there is no plan to change existing drainage patterns, nor impact public safety. Staff Comment: We agree with the Applicant that continuation of the types of activities historically undertaken on the property will not result in increased traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems. However, the fact that there are no plans to change the nature or intensity of the existing industrial uses on the property is not the appropriate basis for determining whether or not the proposed use (i.e., industrial use) may create traffic congestion or other problems. Rather, the City needs to look to the future and review the application in the context of what uses might practically be developed on the property. This analysis was prepared by the Staff for the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (16-002-SSA) and it was determined that traffic levels that could be expected if the parcel were redeveloped under Industrial Future Land Use and Zoning would likely be less than that which could result from redevelopment under the current Future Land Use and zoning designations. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. "The proposed use is the same as the previous use, which has not caused the parcel to suffer from inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions." Staff Comment: Neither the use of the parcel for the proposed continuation of the outdoor storage, mechanical and repair services, and office use; or, other conventional industrial uses will be inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. 'Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested rezoning to Industrial to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. Therefore, we recommend Approval of the Applicant's rezoning request. It should be noted, however, that if the City approves the requested amendment to change the Future Land Use Category of the subject property to Industrial, the only Zoning District consistent with that designation is the Industrial Zoning District. Therefore, the rezoning request would need to be approved. However, if the requested Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Rezoning Petition No. 16-002-R Future Land Use change is denied, then the requested zoning change should also be denied on the basis of its incompatibility with the Comprehensive Plan. It is important to be aware of this because once the Small Plan Amendment is acted upon, there are limited options with regard to the rezoning. Submitted by: GUI`1 361Ff - Wm. F.

Planner Brisson reviewed the petition and his recommendation for approval, based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report. The subject property has been used in the past by FDOT as a maintenance yard with outdoor storage of materials, with office space and maintenance buildings. The current property owner intends to continue using the property in the same manner. IMr. Dobbs was present to respond to questions. There were none. Chairperson Hoover asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. There were none. The petition was advertised in the local newspaper, two signs were posted on the subject property and courtesy notices were mailed to 15 surrounding property owners. Chairperson Hoover asked Board Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone prior to the meeting regarding the petition or visited the site. There were none stated. Planning Staffs findings are as follows: The proposed rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, should Application No. 16-002-SSA be approved. The proposed use being requested is permitted under the Industrial Zoning District. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest as the subject property will continue to be used in a similar manner as in the past. The property continues to be suitably located for industrial use and is adequately sized to provide for appropriate buffering and screening from nearby residential uses to the extent that may be necessary. It is reasonably compatible with surrounding land uses and is not contrary or detrimental to the urbanizing land use pattern. To the North, vacant lots with Multi -Family Future Land Use and RMF Zoning. To the East, vacant lots and a retention pond with Multi -Family and Industrial Future Land Use and RMF and Industrial Zoning. To the South is Okeechobee Asphalt and Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc., with an Industrial Future Land Use and Zoning. To the West, is vacant and one single family home, the Future Land Use is Single Family and Multi -Family and the Zoning is RSF1 and RMF. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions. It is not the opinion the designation will act as a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. There is nothing about the property that is so unique as to indicate that buffering, if needed, could not be accommodated. The proposed use should not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services.

The proposal is to change the Future Land Use designation to Industrial. The property is zoned RMF and is also the subject of a concurrent rezoning petition (16-004-R) to change the zoning of the property to IND. The current and proposed Future Land Use designations, zoning, existing use, and acreage of the subject property and surrounding properties are shown in the following tables and on the maps on pages 5 through 8.

Current Situation Practical Maximum Likely Development Potential The minimum lot size in the RSF1 district is 10,000 square feet. The area of the lot is about 7,000 square feet and therefore is a nonconforming residential lot. Since the lot is larger than 4,000 square feet in area and the width of the lot exceeds 40 feet, one single-family dwelling is permitted. 2. Current Use There appears to have been a single family home on the property in the recent past, but this structure was demolished after Okeechobee Asphalt bought the property. The lot is now vacant. C. Future Development Potential as Industrial 1. Maximum Likely Future Development Potential Given the small size of the lot and the fact that, if developed independently, over 70% of the lot area would be devoted to setbacks, the lot would have no practical industrial development potential. Its development potential comes only through aggregation with adjoining industrial land. 2. Proposed Use The Applicant intends to use the property for materials storage along with the balance of the block also owned by Okeechobee Asphalt. Comprehensive Plan Analysis A. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and Compatibility with Adjacent Uses. Policy 2.2 of the Future Land Use Element recommends that the City protect the use and value of private property from adverse impacts of incompatible land uses, activities and hazards. Objective 12 states that the City of Okeechobee shall encourage compatibility with adja- cent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the character and land uses of surrounding areas, and shall discourage urban sprawl. This small parcel is the last residentially designated lot in the industrial corridor along the south side of NW 9th street between NE 3`d Avenue and NW 9tn Avenue. We believe that an Industrial designation for this property completes the industrial corridor without having a significant impact upon the residential areas to the north and west. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 16-004-SSA B. Adequacy of Public Facilities The use of such a small parcel for industrial purposes will have virtually no effect upon the provision of potable water, wastewater treatment and disposal, solid waste collection and disposal, or on the local roadway system. C. Environmental Impacts We agree with the Applicant that the site has no unique characteristics with regard to environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions or susceptibility to flooding. Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested Industrial Future Land Use Designation for the subject property to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. Therefore, we recommend Approval of the Applicant's request to amend the Comprehensive Plan to designate the subject property as Industrial on the City's Future Land Use Map. It should be noted that if the City approves the requested amendment to change the Future Land Use Category of the subject property to Industrial, then the only Zoning District consistent with that designation is the Industrial Zoning District. Therefore, the rezoning request would need to be approved. However, if the requested Future Land Use change is denied, then the requested zoning change should also be denied on the basis of its incompatibility with the Comprehensive Plan. rSubmitte_by:_ Wm.

Please see attached Traffic Estimate (2) If the proposed Future Land Use change will result in an increase of 100 or more peak hour vehicle trip ends in excess of that which would result under the current Future Land Use Designation, the applicant shall attach a Traffic Impact Study Prepared by a professional transportation planner or transportation engineer. Since the planned development to industrial, the increase in traffic for the highest development is a peak increase of 3 trips daily. b. For Large Scale Amendments (LSA) All LSAs shall be accompanied by a Traffic Impact Study prepare by a professional transportation planner or transportation engineer. N/A c. Traffic Impact Studies are intended to determine the effect of the proposed land use change on the city's roadway network and the city's ability to accommodate traffic associated with the proposed change over a ten-year planning period. Acknowledged. d. An inability to accommodate the necessary modifications within the financially feasible limits of the city's plan will be a basis for denial of the requested land use change. Acknowledged. 2. Provide estimates of demand associated with maximum potential development of the subject property under the current and proposed Future Land Use designations for provision potable water, sanitary sewer, and recreation/open space as follows: a. Potable water and Sanitary Sewer demand based on: (1) 114 gallons per person per day (gppd) for residential uses M., (2) 0.15 gallons per day per square foot of floor area for nonresidential uses 3,500 * 0.15 = 525 gallons per day b. Recreation, and Open Space demand for residential uses of 3 acres per thousand peak season population. N/A, Proposed Industrial FLU. 3. Provide a letter from the appropriate agency substantiating the adequacy of the existing and proposed facilities, to support development resulting from the proposed change, including: a. Solid Waste; The existing facility servicing this area has indicated under previous land use amendments they have over 100 years capacity currently. b. Water and Sewer: Please find attached a letter from OUA indicating sufficient capacity to serve this parcel. c. Schools. N/A, no additional capacity to schools for an industrial project. C. Environmental Impacts Proposed plan amendments shall be accompanied by evidence that the following studies have been completed for another permitting agency or are not relevant to the property. There shall be inventories of: 1. Wetlands and aquifer recharge areas. Please see the attached wetland map from the Wetland Mapper. 2. Soils posing severe limitations to development There are only one soils present at this site from the attached NRCS Websoil Survey, it is Immokalee Fine Sand, which should cause no developments limitations. 3. Unique habitat. This parcel has been developed and provides no unique habitat. 4. Endangered species of wildlife and plants. Since this property has been cleared for many years, it does not provide the conducive habitat for endangered species. 5. Floodprone areas. According to the attached FEMA map, the subject parcels are outside all structures have been built outside the floodprone areas. D. Internal Consistency with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan 1. Discuss how the proposal affects established City of Okeechobee population projections. These parcel was previously developed with a single family residence, which has been demolished. The parcel has already been converted to a material storage yard, which is the ultimate use of the parcel for the foreseeable future, there will be no impact to the established population projections. 2. List all goals and objectives of the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan that are affected by the proposed amendment. This analysis should include an evaluation of all relevant policies under each goal and objective. There is no effect to the Comprehensive Plan Ainendinent's Policies and Objectives from this request. No increase in density will not change the ability of the city or any other utilities to available water, sewer, or roads as described below. 3. Describe how the proposal affects the County's Comprehensive Plan as it relates to adjacent unincorporated areas. This project is not adjacent to unincorporated areas of the City and will have no impact to the County's Comprehensive plan. 4. List State Policy Plan and Regional Policy Plan goals and policies that are relevant to this plan amendment. Since the City's Comprehensive Plan has been found to be consistent with all state'requirements, this application is also consistent with the State Policy Plan and Regional Policy Plan Goals. Since the major concern as stated in Chapter 163.006(5)(1) is to discourage Urban Sprawl, this application can hardly be classified as Urban Sprawl since it is simply converting the FLU for the project with not change in use or expansion. E. Justification of Proposed Amendment Justify the proposed amendment based upon sound planning principles. Be sure to support all conclusions made in this justification with adequate data and analysis.

The maximum daily flow of the combined water treatment plant finished water production is 3.4 mgd for the period of February 2014 through January 2015. The average daily flow of the wastewater treatment plant is 0.858 mgd for the same time period. Police The nearest City Police station is located at 50 SE 2nd Avenue. No additional Police stations are scheduled. The existing Police station should be able to maintain its level of service standard with the proposed amendment given that the project is immediately adjacent to an existing area already designated for commercial uses. Service availability from the Police Department will be determined by the local government review. Fire The nearest fire station is located at 55 SE 3rd Avenue. No additional fire stations are scheduled. The existing fire station should be able to maintain its level of service standard with the proposed amendment given that the project is immediately adjacent to an existing area already designated for commercial uses. Service availability from the Fire Department will be determined by the local government review. Solid Waste Waste Management operates the regional solid waste landfill. Since there is no increase in development, there will be no impact to the existing facility. Stormwater Management The project is located in the City of Okeechobee and according to the attached FIRM panel 12093C0415C, this parcel is in Flood Zone C. There are no wellfields within 1,000 feet of the parcel Potential adverse impacts to ground and surface waters will be minimized by implementation of appropriate erosion control measures during construction in accordance with the NPDES Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Activities. Erosion control measures that may be implemented include stabilization practices such as temporary seeding, permanent seeding, mulching, geotextiles, or sod stabilization; structural practices such as silt fences, earth dikes, diversions, swales, sediment traps, check. dams, or storm drain inlet protection; and sediment basins. Stormwater runoff quantity and quality are strictly regulated by the City and the SFWMD to ensure that pre -development drainage conditions are maintained. The proposed rate of discharge from the site will be less than or equal to the existing discharge rate from the site. The discharges off -site will be minimized by on -site detention within the stormwater management system. The drainage system will be owned, operated and maintained by the owner, who's past record of compliance has beens shown to be a responsible property owner and should be acceptable to the City and the SFWMD. The Stormwater Management System will employ, wherever practical, a variety of Best Management Practices (BMP). The following are a list of potential BMP that could be integrated into the Water Management System during the final design and permitting stage: • Oil and grease skimmers; • Environmental swales; • Minimize "short-circuiting" of pond flow patterns; • Raised storm inlets in grassed swales; • Utilize stormwater retention where feasible; and • Street cleaning and general site maintenance. Parks and Recreation As a self-contained Industrial facility, no impact to the parks and recreation needs of the City is anticipated. Hurricane Preparedness According to information in the Treasure Coast Transportation Analysis Hurricane Evacuation Study Update 2003, dated November 2003, the property is not located in any storm surge zone. The property is not within the Category 3 Hurricane Evacuation Area.

Disclosure of Ex-Parte Communications by the Board. 5. a) Consideration of a recommendation to the City Council to approve or deny the application with/without special conditions. Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 16-004-SSA, is being requested by the applicant, Mr. Robert Gent, Registered Agent for Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc., to change the classification from Single Family to Industrial for Lot 6 of Block 44, City of Okeechobee, Plat Book 1, Page 10, Public Records of Okeechobee County, approximately 0.16 acres, located at 808 Northwest 9th Avenue. Chairperson Hoover yielded the floor to Planner Brisson who reviewed the application. The minimum lot size in the Residential Single Family One Zoning District is 10,000 square feet. The area of the subject lot is approximately 7,000 square feet and is therefore a nonconforming residential lot. The width of the lot exceeds 40 feet, which permitted a single-family home to exist on the property in the past. The structure was demolished after Okeechobee Asphalt bought the property. Currently the property is vacant and if developed independently, most of the lot area would be devoted to setbacks. The lot would have no practical industrial development potential alone, only through adjoining with other industrial land. The applicant intends to use the property for storing materials along with the rest of the property in Block 44. A Petition for a rezoning to Industrial has been submitted as well. Should the Board recommend approval for this application, the only recommendation for the rezoning petition would be the same. He recommends for approval, based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report. Chairperson Hoover asked whether the property owner or designee/agent had any comments or questions. No one was present and there were no questions from Board Members. Chairperson Hoover asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. There were none. Chairperson Hoover asked Board Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone prior to this meeting regarding the application or visited the site. There were none stated. Planning Staffs findings are as follows: The application was found to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, specifically Policy 2.2 and Objective 12 of the Future Land Use Element. This small parcel is the last residentially designated lot in the industrial corridor along the south side of Northwest 9th Street between Northwest 3rd and 9th Avenues. The requested industrial designation for this property would complete the corridor without having a significant impact upon the residential areas to the north and west. The use of such a small parcel for industrial purposes will have virtually no effect upon the provision of potable water, wastewater treatment and disposal, solid waste collection and disposal, or on the local roadway system. The site has no unique characteristics with regard to environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions or susceptibility to flooding.

Lot 6 of Block 44, comprising 0.16 acre, is also the subject of a concurrent Small Scale Development Plan Amendment (SSA) from Single -Family to Industrial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The current and proposed Future Land Use designations, zoning, existing use, and acreage of the subject property and surrounding properties are shown in the following tables and on the maps on pages 8 through 11.

The Applicant has provided comments to each of the required findings. These are repeated below in Times Roman typeface exactly as provided by the Applicant. Staff has made no attempt to correct typos, grammar, or clarify the Applicant's comments. Staff comments are shown in this Aria[ typeface. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Rezoning Petition No. 16-004-R 1. The proposed rezoning is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. "The proposed request is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements. There are other parcels in the vicinity that are zoned industrial and this change." Staff Comment: This rezoning application for all of the subject properties (0.434 acre) is being addressed concurrently with the Applicant's request for a Small Scale Development Plan Amendment (SSA) for Lot 6, Block 44. Staff has found the proposed change to the FLUM to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and has recommended approval. The requested rezoning of all of the subject parcels is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will, in fact, eliminate existing inconsistencies between the FLUM and the Zoning Map. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. " "The proposed request to use the property as the other parcels owned is authorized under Industrial zoning." Staff Comment: The Applicant intends to use the property for materials storage jointly with the other parcels in Block 44, which are also owned by Okeechobee Asphalt. Outdoor storage is specifically identified as item (9) in the list of permitted uses in the Industrial Zoning District. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. "The proposed land use change would have no effect on the public interest as the property will be used as the surrounding parcels have been used in the past." Staff Comment: We agree. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16-004-R 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. "The proposed use is appropriate for the location and compatible with the adjacent land uses as the parcel and there is Industrial Zoning to the east and south of this parcel." Staff Comment: As the last block in the industrial corridor along the south side of NW 9th Street, between NE 31 and 91h Avenues, we believe the subject properties are suitably located for industrial use and consistent with land use patterns in the area. In fact, the immediate adjacency of the subject properties to the industrial uses to the east, and the CSX Railroad to the south make the properties inappropriate for most any other uses. NW 91h Street and NW 9th Avenue will serve as spatial buffers to the church properties to the west and northwest, and the vacant residentially zoned property to the north. The railroad tracks and NW 8th Street will provide a spatial buffer to the multi -family properties south of the railroad tracks. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. "This change in zoning will have no adverse impact to property valued of adjacent property as industrial is to the east and south and theses parcels are adjacent to the CSX Railroad. Any change in property value has been realized." Staff Comment: All adjacent properties are already zoned Industrial and in industrial use as materials storage. NW 9th Street and NW 9m Avenue will serve as spatial buffers to the church properties to the west and northwest, and the vacant residentially zoned property to the north. The railroad tracks and NW 8th Street will provide a spatial buffer to the multi- family properties south of the railroad tracks. The industrial use of the remainder of Block 44 in the same manner as the balance of this block and other nearby industrial properties should neither affect property values or living conditions, nor deter improvement of adjacent properties. 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. "The current owner has acquired these parcel over the last serval years and have created a buffer of concrete bollards and landscaping to buffer the use from surrounding property owners." Staff Comment: All properties immediately adjacent to the subject property are owned by Okeechobee Asphalt and are in industrial use. The remaining sides of the property abut NW 911 Street and NW 9th Avenue. These streets and the required street setbacks provide a spatial buffer between the subject and the church properties to the west and northwest and to the vacant property to the north. We would expect fencing and visual screening to be provided along periphery street frontages. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16-004-R 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. "The past use has not created nor will the future use create a density pattern that would overburden any of the public resources in the area." Staff Comment: The proposed use is not residential and therefore has no density component or effect upon schools. Furthermore, the use of the combined subject properties for materials storage would result in virtually no incremental increase on the demand for potable water, wastewater treatment and disposal, solid waste collection and disposal, or impact on the local roadway system. 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. "As the proposed improvements have already been made to this parcel, the use will not create nor have a detrimental impact to the factors stated above. This property has an existing ditch that currently discharges into the NW 9th Street ROW there is no plan to change existing drainage patterns, nor impact public safety." Staff Comment: We agree that continuation, on the subject property, of the types of activities already underway on the adjacent properties owned by Okeechobee Asphalt, will result in no, or at most minimal, increase in traffic. Similarly, no increase in flooding or drainage problems, or any effect upon public safety, is expected. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. "The proposed use has not inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions." Staff Comment: We agree. Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested rezoning to Industrial to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. Therefore, we recommend Approval of the Applicant's rezoning request. �tlr : Il 6 Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Submitted by: Wm. F.

WHEREAS, the City of Okeech�)bee has adopted Resolution 2016-04, which mandates a pay plan policy for retiring employees whereby accrued sick leave and annual leave due upon separation of employment may be placed with an investment plan, and such accrued benefits, at the election of the retiree, would remain in the investment plan until withdrawn by the retiree; and WHEREAS, the benefit of opting to participate in the Special Pay Plan avoids an immediate obligation to deduct, at this time, a Social Security and Medicare withholding of 7.65 percent chargeable to both the City and the retiree; and WHEREAS, due to circumstances personal to each retiree, it may be necessary for such retiree to take early retirement benefits, which prior to age 59Y2 would at this time institute a penalty by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of 10 percent; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that when a retiree is forced to opt for early retirement, knowingly facing a penalty by the IRS, it is appropriate to reimburse the retiree for a portion of the penalty; and WHEREAS, for example under current regulations, when the retiree retires prior to age 59'/2, a 10 percent penalty is imposed. As the retiree already received the benefit of the Social Security and Medicare savings of 7.65 percent, the City will reimburse the difference of 2.35 percent (up to the 10 percent penalty) which sum by this Resolution will be distributed by the City to the retiree. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved before the City Council for the City of Okeechobee, Florida; presented at a duly advertised public meeting; and passed by majority vote of the City Council; and properly executed by the Mayor or designee, as Chief Presiding Officer for the City: SECTION 1: 1. THAT Chapter 3, City of Okeechobee, Florida, Personnel Policies and Procedures is hereby amended to provide under that heading RETIREMENT, to include the following language: SPECIAL PAY PLAN (ACCRUED LEAVE BENEFITS) 1. In the event an employee who is otherwise eligible for retirement benefits and annual leave and sick leave, upon separation, elects for early retirement prior to age 59Y2, an additional retirement benefit to that retiree shall be paid by the City to the retiree the difference of the retirees Social Security and Medicare obligation, currently 7.65 percent, and the amount of the penalty imposed by IRS regulations, currently 10 percent. In the event future regulations should change the percentages of Social Security and Medicare obligations and RESOLUTION NO. 2016-06 PAGE 1 OF 2 obligations and penalties for early retirement, this agreement to reimburse a retiree shall continue, adjusted at the then -current percentages. 2. The benefits provided by this Resolution (No. 2016-06) shall only apply to those sums for annual and sick leave taken by the employee and deposited in the City Special Pay Plan mandated by Resolution No. 2016-04, and no other retirement benefit. 3.

Murphy Okeechobee News Police Chief Denny Davis tearfully said goodbye to., the city Tuesday night as he ended a 30-year law enforcement career. "You guys either make me or break me and you guys made me;" he spoke to his staff. "You have the reigns. You take them and run proud." Davis remembered how the city invest- ed in him, hiring him off an Okeechobee County Road Department crew, put him through school, something he couldn't have afforded, and gave him an opportu- nity. He also thanked his family for their sup- port and dedication. "There are a lot of ups and downs in law enforcement and they were always there for me. It isn't easy being married to a police officer;" he added. Davis plans to instruct law enforce- ment officers at Indian River State College. He also plans to travel, spend time with his family, hunt, and continue to serve God. Davis thanked the city council, and former administrators like Bill Veach and Brian Whitehall for their support over the years. He said he had very few disappoint - men in his career. He said he would have liked to see some growth in the de- partment but bad economic times have curtailed growth everywhere. "It has been a career that I really en- joyed. I say thank you to the police depart- ment and my family. Law enforcement has been my life and 1 have really been blessed to have a great group of men and women working for me. It's been a good ride," he said.

The proposed millage of 7.4932 mills would collect nearly $1.8 mil- lion in property taxes, a reduction of $73,808 or about 2.5 percent. The proposed millage would drop one half of a mill. The amount of revenues could increase by less than one percent, if state estimates hold. City spend- ing would increase by 2.13 percent. The city would also hold $3.66 mil- lion in reserves. On mill equals $1 in taxes for every $1,000 of property value. Expenses planned include a $40,000 annexation study. The council would contribute $10,000 for eco nomic development through the chamber of commerce and spend $8,900 to support the shared services network. The city administration budget is $193,273, City Clerk $214,426, legal services $74,605, Finance De- partment, $296,763, General Ser- vices $367,031, police $2.21 mil- lion, fire $1.56 million, and Public Works $1.23 million.

People should be on the lookout for IRS impersonators calling students and demand- ing that they wire money immediately to pay a fake "federal student tax." If the person does not comply, the stammer becomes aggressive and threatens to report the stu- dent to the police to be arrested. As schools around the nation prepare to re -open, it is important for taxpayers to be particularly aware of this scheme going after students and parents. "Although variations of the IRS imperson- ation scam continueyear-round, they tend to peak when stammers find prime opportuni- ties to strike," said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. As students and parents enter the new school year, they should remain alert to bogus calls, including those demanding fake tax payments from students." The IRS encourages college and school communities to share this information so that students, parents and their families are Ire of these scams. Stammers are constantly identifying new tactics to carry out their crimes in new and unsuspecting ways. This year, the IRS has seen scammers use a variety of schemes to fool taxpayers into paying money or giving up personal information. Some of these in- clude: • Altering the caller ID on incoming phone calls in a "spoofing" attempt to make it seem like the IRS, the local police or an- other agency is calling • Imitating software providers to Vick tax professionals—IR-2016-103 • Demanding fake tax payments using iTunes gift cards--IR-2016 99 • Soliciting W-2 information from pay- roll and human resources professionals—IR- 2016-34 "Verifying" tax return information over the phone--IR-201640 • Pretending to be from the tax prepara- tion industry—IR-2016-28 If you receive an unexpected call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here are some of the telltale signs to help protect yourself.

They also plan to purchase new police cars again with each unit due to cost over $22,000. They plan to add a part-time em- ployee for general services and four tempo- rary employees for three months in the sum- mer to assist public works. The citywants to purchase a street sweep- er which is estimated to cost $170,000. They pay roughly $30,000 per year for the service from a private vendor. Administrator Marcos Montes De Oca said he wants to do this in house. He said he was unhappy with the performance of the city vendor. The administrator gave a lot of credit to the staff who went through the budget line by line to see where they could save money. "They are very frugal. This year we tried to forecast for the future and look five to ten years down the road," he said. The city saw an increase in sales taxes and other revenues this year a sign of im- provement in the local economy. Council opted to support one step on the salary schedule for employees this year. Generally, the IRS will first mail you a bill if you owe any taxes. • Threaten to immediately tiring in local police or other law -enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying. " Demand that you pay taxes without giv- ing you the opportunity to question or ap- peal the amount they say you owe. • Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. If you get a suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, here's what you should do: " Do not give out any information. Hang up immediately. • Search the web for telephone numbers scammers leave in your voicemail asking you to call .back Some of the phone num- bers may be published online and linked to criminal activity. • Contact TIGTA to report the call. Use their "IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting" web page or call 800-366-4484. • Report it to the Federal Trade Commis- sion. Use the "FTC Complaint Assistant" on. FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" in the notes. • If you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040. a keep doing things like we've been doing 4 a team. The department should continue to run well." QWtain Peterson has 32 years of expe- rience in law enforcement, much of it as a supervisor for both the Okeechobee City Police Department and the Glades County Sheriff's Office. Gaylain Peterson said at this time he has no interest in seeking the chief position. "I'm contemplating retirement myself and there are things 1 want to do. I do have several months to mull it over so we'll see what happens," he said. Police Chief Denny Davis was presented a 30-year longevity service award and police patrolman Chad Troutman received a 10- year service award. The city will accept applications for police chief until Oct. 28. The position will likely be advertised next week. A Last month the council voted to put in mW money to offset an increase in health insur- ance costs. That will amount to about $96 dollars per employee per month of $1,152 annually. Mr. Montes De Oca said his goal is to not just budget for capital projects but actually build them. He said residents should see construction of the new Taylor Creek Park very soon. The plan is to build infrastructure this year with grants still being sought to construct docks, a gazebo and other facili- ties. Council will hold a meeting on imposi- tion of a city fire assessment next Tuesday night.
