Discuss Applications 1 thru 25 Discuss Application 26 Discuss Application 27 Discuss Application 28 Discuss Application 29 Discuss Application 30 FEBRUARY 21, 1994 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 7 Attorney Cook explained this application is not a mapping error and is considered a redesignation and should Council decide to forward to the application with the packet to DCA the applicant will have to pay the $500.00 deposit. It was found to be a planning decision to make the area single family, which is the surrounding area. Applicant intends to develop the property into an apartment complex. Mayor Kirk asked if there was any public comments. Andy Rubin, Susan Berger, Elmo Jones, Mary Ann Bryant, Chris Hooker, Paul Ritter, Ranee Sweda, Roman Harvest and Johnny Mack Kinsaul addressed the Council all strongly opposing the redesignation of property in their neighborhood. Mayor Kirk asked by a show of hands who in the audience was against the multi -family land designation, the majority of the audience raised their hands. The applicants were not present to address the Council. Councilmember O'Connor moved to follow staff recommendation to turn down Application 94-SSA-26. Council discussed how amendments to the ordinance would be handled. It was decided that one motion would be made at the end of reviewing the applications, adopting and amending the proposed ordinance. Councilmember O'Connor withdrew his motion from the floor. Discuss Applications No. 27 and 28: Application No. 94-SSA-27 was filed by American Land Trust Corp. It is 1.55 acres located in Block 29, Lots 1 to 6 and 24 to 26; City of Okeechobee subdivision. Application No. 94-SSA-28 was filed by Richard Vest. It is 1.722 acres located in Block 29, Lots 14 to 23; City of Okeechobee subdivision. The current zoning is Residential General II (multi -family), the future land use designation is single family and the applicants wish to change the future land use to multi -family. The area is vacant and undeveloped and was considered a planning decision to designate the subject property single family, therefore, it is staff analysis that this is a redesignation and the applicants will have to pay the $500.00 deposit. 297 D.

Discuss Applications 1 thru 25 Discuss Application 26 Discuss Application 27 Discuss Application 28 Discuss Application 29 Discuss Application 30 FEBRUARY 21, 1994 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 5 OF 7 Mayor Kirk asked if there was any public comment, there was none. Discuss Application No. 29: Application No. 94-SSA-29 was filed by the Okeechobee Board of County Commissioners. It is 0.16 acres located in Block 27, Lot 8; South Okeechobee subdivision. The area is handball courts for the public and the current zoning is commercial. The future land use map has designated the area public facilities, the applicant wishes to change the land designation to commercial. According to staff analysis the land designation would be consistent with surrounding land, however, this would be considered a redesignation and Attorney Cook will have to research whether the County, being a government agency will have to pay the $500.00 deposit. Mayor Kirk asked for public comments, there were none. Discuss Application No. 30: Application No. 94-SSA-30 was filed by Attorney Burton Connors on behalf of Mrs. Freida Hamrick. Attorney Connors addressed the Council requesting the application be withdrawn. Mayor Kirk asked for public comment, there was none. Discuss Applications 1 through 25: Attorney Cook went through each application with the Council explaining staff analysis for mapping errors. Mayor Kirk asked for public comments on each one as they were discussed. There was no public comment except on Application No. 94-SSA-06, Mr. William H. Samuel addressed the Council briefly concerning his application. Mr. Ron Hunt then addressed the Council briefly on the application he filed, No. 94-SSA-08. D.

Public Comments. d. Motion to adopt Ordinance 666. FEBRUARY 21, 1994 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 6 OF 7 Council discussed Application No. 94-SSA-24 filed by Mr. Bill Steg-Kemper. It is an obvious mapping error because the area is designated public facilities on the future land use map and is a single family privately owned parcel. The applicant requested a multi -family designation rather than a single family designation which is the current land use. According to staff analysis the multi- family designation would be appropriate for the area, however, when an application is filed for a mapping error and the designation request is not for the previous use, it is considered a redesignation and the applicant must pay the $500.00 deposit. Mr. Steg-Kemper was not present to discuss this issue with the Council. Council felt the application should be deleted. Mayor Kirk asked for public comments, there was none. Public comments were asked for and discussed on each individual application. Councilmember Watford made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 666 with the following amendments: Delete Section 03c" beginning with "Lots 1,2,3,4 & 5 of Block B;.... and ending thence northerly along said west r/w line to the point of beginning" (Application No. 94-SSA-30); Delete Section "3d' Unplatted lands of the City E'/2 of SE'/2 of SW'/4 of NE 1/4 (Application No. 94-SSA-26); Delete all of Section 113h" (Application No. 94-SSA-24); And amend "Staff Analysis" third paragraph on page eleven (11) change the sentence to read '...and the existing zoning at the time of adoption of the comprehensive plan was commercial."

It is a group formed to make housing a matter of conscience and to provide affordable housing for people in need in the Okeechobee area. We are an ecumenical group of concerned, local citizens committed to the idea that everyone deserves a simple, decent place to live. We believe God calls us to work for the elimination of substandard housing in our community. We will work in partnership with low- income families using volunteer labor, donated land and/or money, and donated materials whenever possible, to renovate old houses or build new, inexpensive homes. These will be sold to families at cost with no profit and no interest loans. Okeechobee Habitat for Humanity provides or locates supportive services for families because we are concerned with the quality of the families' lives as well as their homes. We will be a part of Habitat for Humanity International. WHAT IS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL? The concept of building houses for the poor at no profit and no interest was developed by Millard Fuller and the late Clarence Jordan in 1968 at Kiononia Community near Americus, GA. From 1973 to 1976 Millard Fuller and his family put the principles of Habitat to work in Zaire in Central Africa, building hundreds of homes there. In 1976 the Fullers returned to the United States and Habitat for Humanity was formed. To date, through the work of over 700 affiliates in the U.S, and Canada along with projects in over 30 third world counties, tens of thousands of families have been given the means to help themselves. Habitat homeowners have proved that they need not be condemned to a never-ending cycle of poverty. WHO ARE THE HABITAT VOLUNTEERS? They are people of all ages, occupations, and faiths, who come together in the belief that ALL of GOD'S people deserve a decent home. PEOPLE LIKE YOU! The economically poor need capital, not charity; co-workers, not case workers. They need partners; people who love and respect them and who want to stand beside them and help free them from the burdens they bear. " 'llard Fuller WHO ARE THE HABITAT HOMEOWNERS? Homeowners are selected through a process of written application and personal meetings with the members of the Family Selection Committee. They are selected on the basis of need, character, ability to pay off the mortgage, and their willingness to actively engage in partnership with the Habitat affiliate. They contribute sweat -equity by working on their home, on other Hab' homes, or on Habitat committees. Priority is given to families who cannot secure decent housing through other means. The neediest working family which can meet the mortgage payments is chosen. HOW IS MY GIFT TO HABITAT USED? Your gift will be used toward the construction costs of a Habitat house. But, like an endowment, it is never used up. The mortgage payments from each house are used to build the next house. This "multiF r effect" is powerful, as over time your gift or interest -free loan will continue to produce more houses. In addition, we see our neighborhood stretching far beyond our area. 10% of any monetary donation is used to support Habitat projects around the world through Habitat For Humanity International. 0 1mrHabitat for H I�ernafional A decent house in a decent com for God's people in need hat is Habitat for Humanity International? Founded in 1976 by Linda and Millard Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical, Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. By having needy and affluent people work together in equal partnership, Habitat builds new relationships and a sense of community as well as new housing. How does it work? Through volunteer labor, management expertise, and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates homes with the help of the homeowners. Houses are sold at no profit to partner families, and no -interest mortgages are issued over a fixed period. Costs of homes differ relative to location, labor, land and materials. Currently, a Habitat house in the United States costs homeowners an average of approximately $35,000, while houses in developing countries range from about $500 - $3,000. Small monthly mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance, are repaid over 7 to 20 years and deposited into a revolving "Fund for Humanity" which supports the construction of more houses. Who controls and manages Habitat for Humanity International? An ecumenical board of 29 people meets three times a year to determine policy and monitor operations in conjunction with a larger Board of Advisors. Primarily dependent upon volunteer labor, Habitat for Human- ity's international headquarters operates with an ad- ministrative staff, assisted by a core group of paid clerical and support people and supplemented by long - and short-term volunteers. Each Habitat for Humanity affiliate and sponsored project is managed by a local volunteer board. E 0J= ff Fact Sheet nity does the partnership with homeowners 4tat is not a giveaway program, but is a joint :ure in which those who benefit from the housing istry are involved in the work at various levels. 1 homeowner family is required to invest "sweat .ty" hours into the construction of their home.

Habitat does, however, accept funds for the luisition of streets, utilities, land, or old houses !ding rehabilitation, provided those funds have no visions attached which would violate Habitat's ere does Habitat for Humanity Operate? bitat for Humanity International is growing rapidly. the United States there are hundreds of affiliated jects, covering all 50 states, and there are more than other projects in over 40 countries. ,- t, What is the difference between a sponsored and an affiliate project? Sponsorship means that Habitat for Humanity International takes full responsibility for funding and for securing Habitat volunteers for the project. At this time, there are Habitat sponsored projects on six continents. Affiliated projects are locally operated, independent, non-profit organizations which are responsible for their own fund-raising, publicity, volunteer recruitment and staffing. The international headquarters offers advice and assistance to all projects. How are donations distributed and used? Donations are distributed as designated by the donor. All gifts received by the international headquarters, designated for a specific project area, are forwarded to that area. Any undesignated gifts are used where needed overseas and for administrative expenses. An audited financial statement is available upon request. Does Habitat for Humanity have other programs? Yes. They are: Covenant Church Program, which involves churches and synagogues in contributing financially and prayerfully to Habitat; Campus Chapters program, which involves educational institutions of all types in Habitat's work; International Day of Prayer and Action for Human Habitat, observed under Habitat for Humanity sponsorship the third Sunday of September every year; Habitat for Homeless Humanity, which assists affiliated projects in addressing the homeless problem through networking, coopera- tion, and partnership with other organizations; House - Raising Week Worldwide, which each summer focuses on Habitat construction during a single week; The Jimmy Carter Work Project, a week-long blitz -building program conducted every summer in a different city, is the focal point of House -Raising Week Worldwide. Another project is the Global Village program, which sends volunteer work camps overseas, at the participants' expense, for two- and three-week periods to help at Habitat sponsored projects. How does a Habitat for Humanity project get started? Habitat for Humanity is a grass -roots movement. Anyone who wants to explore the possibility of eliminating poverty housing in his or her community is encouraged to contact Habitat's international headquarters for information. Printed materials are available. How can I become a volunteer? Volunteer information and applications are available from the international headquarters. Habitat needs volunteers to work in U.S. projects as well as at headquarters.

A non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing organization, Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with peo- 7: ple in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged. More than houses abitat for Humanity seeks to build lives as well as houses. Through the houses we build, hope is restored and lives are changed as the cycle of need is broken. How we build is just as important as what we build. Habitat houses are built with a contribution of hundreds of hours of "sweat equity" labor on the part of the homeowners. By investing themselves in the building process, homeowners gain self-reliance, self-esteem and new skills. Their down payments and monthly mort- gage payments are used to build more houses through a revolving Fund for Partnerships We build Habitat houses with tax- deductible donations using volunteer and skilled labor. By working together, home- owners, volunteers and donors become partners in the work of building houses, while building new relationships as well. The partnerships formed help to build and revitalize communities. These partner- ships include individuals, churches, companies, foundations, organizations and others who join to build lives as well as houses. buiLvinu � BUILDING BUILDING B U I L D I N G Communities abitat for Humanity's emphasis on community extends to our organiza- tion, where we emphasize local commitment and local control. Habitat projects usually grow from the grass -roots concern of citizens within their commu- nity. Each project is responsible for family selection, site selection, construction work, fund-raising, family nurturing and more. Rather than membership fees, Habitat expects projects to voluntarily contribute for international work that depends on outside support. All Habitat projects adhere to a nondiscriminatory family selection policy. abitat for Humanity International's headquarters are in Americus, GA, where the movement was founded in 1976 and where work is facilitated for all Habitat projects around the world. The years since Habitat's founding are filled with results confirming that Habitat works in building houses, families, communities and partnerships. • Habitat has provided simple, decent shelter to over one hundred thousand family members, a number that is grow- ing rapidly. • Hundreds of thousands of volunteers participate in various aspects of Habitat's work around the world. • Homeowner families have seen their lives transformed, becoming stronger members of society and making a differ- ence in their communities. • Neighborhoods have seen their crime rates drop and businesses develop and grow as a result of Habitat homes being built in their midst. • Ever-growing numbers of churches, busi- nesses, and corporations have stepped forward to be sponsors, adopt families or otherwise assist Habitat's work. • Habitat's efforts have touched the con- sciences of thousands, and motivated other organizations to act as well. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. John 3:17-18 The Future helter is a basic human need. The future has been changed for many thousands by Habitat's efforts to meet that need. But millions worldwide still face a future robbed of hope by a lack of adequate shelter. That is why Habitat is determined that everyone worldwide hav a decent place in which to live.
