Consider proposals for architectural services related to Fire Department renovations - City Administrator (Exhibit 6). Mr. John Dulmer, City Planning Consultant addressed the Council suggesting that in an area like that, Staff is careful to consider only businesses that are of the same intensity as other businesses since there are existing parking problems. He also noted that Planning Staff would be willing to assist in anyway possible with this situation. Police Chief, Denny Davis commented the 2-Hour Parking signs that were put up have helped out with the parking. Council instructed Staff to install 2-Hour Parking Signs in the 200 Block of South Park Street. Attorney Cook addressed the Council regarding the pending issue of proposed Ordinance No. 775 adopting a revised Franchise Agreement with Adelphia Cable. As Council is aware, due to recent news articles, Adelphia is having financial difficulties. After he and Administrator Veach met recently with Adelphia representatives and were assured that the company was sound, the next day there was another article explaining that Adelphia had cancelled all sub- contractor work within the State of Florida. There is only one area of the City's Franchise agreement with Adelphia that needs to be worked out. Adelphia's legal department was suppose to have reviewed the City's proposed amendment and reply back to us. To date, the City has not received a reply. In light of all the recent publicity Attorney Cook advised that he would be reviewing the Franchise agreement again, especially the areas related to what happens should Adelphia file for bankruptcy. He knew the Council would want to make sure the citizens of the City were protected. Council thanked Attorney Cook for his update. Citizen Frank Irby also addressed the Council and asked whether they could regulate how much Adelphia can increase their rates within a period of time. Over the past several years the increase has been minimal, however, the last increase was over 30 percent (for The Raulerson Hospital). Council thanked Mr. Irby for his comments and asked Attorney Cook to research whether thatwas addressed in the proposed Franchise. Administrator Veach explained that he had instructed the City Engineer to solicit proposals for architectural services related to the Fire Department renovations. Exhibit Six lists the three firms that responded. Staff recommended the low bidder, Stephan Claren.

The City should be aware of the critical drainage problems on South Parrot Avenue where severe flood conditions exist. The proposed project, that is located on SW 2nd Avenue, runs parallel to Parrott Avenue and is currently affected by the flooding conditions. We have learned from DOT that drainage improvements on Parrott Avenue will take is at least four years before solutions can be implemented. It is the Engineering Department's opinion that the City of Okeechobee —shall be very cautious before abandoning any street right-of-ways or alleys. • I • v;,r a . a a Q V is •Y v ,eat .o mv,um mo n m ul a aov,r la mv`r QP • a � s mv,r MCI ® Nv,en n yira � ;ev,Y A v,r mv, /mv�r �e tv ni n � my • � m tF tr OP n C � mutt mv,ry Ar m v , v ,r aP �. • x miv ,e• � I ma m v ,r aP m v'r ov 1F 1°' °• v tr i . « iA mar A F,r aP Q L L � L, I L df HIS O N, •v,r eo�x � i� A iov,r mvir aP b � • w x, ILi m y � y '� y• I 5 m v't yL�--��..�� Av,r v, aP „ w WON ev,rnw Av+ra� dllRla — _ .raw • , • • � A lF te• m lFl mv,Y or mIF 1T 6 • LNW ' Lawson, Noble &Webb, •Inc. � nnx•na• • �..xaa•er ••.•• st Uloa .

Request: To rezone the subject property from Residential Single Family One (RSF1) to Commercial Professional Office (CPO). ►_�r�rI It rr:r • •ram North: Future Land Use Map Classification: Single Family Zoning District: RSF-1 Existing Land Use: Public Facility Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Glenn Sneider Petition No. 02-002-R East: Future Land Use Map Classification: Commercial Zoning District: RSF-1 Existing Land Use: Commercial South: Future Land Use Map Classification: Single Family. Zoning District: RSF-1 Existing Land Use: Single Family West: Future Land Use Map Classification: Single Family Zoning District: RSF-1 Existing Land Use: Single Family The property is simultaneously undergoing a small-scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from Single Family to Commercial. Under the proposed designation the Commercial Professional Office Zoning will be consistent. Property surrounding the subject parcel is currently used as single family residential. The application would allow for consistency with these uses because property located on Block 2, and fronting on Parrott Avenue has a Future Land Use of Commercial and the Freshman Campus is located less than one block to the north. Property located on the second block from Parrott Avenue has a residential use, but recent trends have brought low intense commercial into this area. Because there will be only a slight increase in trips, and the close proximity to an arterial roadway traffic, will not be negatively impacted. If the Rezoning and Plan Amendment requests are approved, a site plan will be required to show adequate parking and landscaping. At that time buffering between the professional office and existing residential structures will be required and any additional landscaping will be requested from the applicant. At site plan review time any signs proposed by the applicant will be reviewed for consistency with the Land Development Code. Analysis A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. 00n ;r� svd� The property has a simultaneous Future Land Use Application to amend the map from Single Family to Commercial. If this request is approved the rezoning will be consistent. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities The property is located within the City of Okeechobee's Urban Service Area and concurrency should not be an issue. OA 0 • Staff Report Rezoning Request C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses Applicant: Glenn Sneider Petition No. 02-002-R Surrounding land uses include single-family residences and School Board offices. These are consistent with a professional office especially if the residential architecture is retained. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The proposal is consistent with Comprehensive Plan standards. Specifically Future Land Use Policy 2.2, 2.3, and Traffic Circulation Policy 8.2. E. Compliance with Land Development Regulations. The use of an attorney's office is specifically allowed under the CPO Zoning District. The property is located in an area that would not be appropriate for a use more intense than Commercial Professional Office. The proposed legal office will not increase traffic demand beyond existing capacity. As well, formal concurrency will be performed at the time of site plan review. Landscape Regulations Landscape regulations will be addressed at the time of the Site Plan Review. Attachments Attachments to this Staff Report include the Zoning Map indicating the change from Residential Single Family One (RSF 1) to Commercial Professional Office (CPO) Zoning District, and a locational map indicating the general location of the subject property.

WAAO.RWIMPINr. 411�j , -� I Rev: 11/98 Derita Watford — Property Owner Glenn Sneider —Applicant Statement of Applicant's Interest in Property Derita Watford currently owns Lots 4, 5, and 6, Block 3, South Okeechobee, according to the plat thereof recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 12, Public Records, Okeechobee County, Florida. The subject property is located at 200 SW 91h Street and is approximately .49 acre in area. The improvements include a concrete block single family dwelling approximately 3, 390 square feet in size and an asphalt parking area. The applicant, Glenn Sneider is interested in purchasing the property and relocating his law practice to the subject property. The sale will be contingent upon the approval of the requested change in zoning and comprehensive plan map amendment. Upon approval of the requested changes, the applicant intends to upgrade the electrical service, make any necessary changes to building to accommodate the proposed use and obtain an occupational license to begin operating his business. Derita Watford — Property Owner Glenn Sneider —Applicant Statement of Use The subject property is currently zoned Residential Single Family — 1 (RSF-1) and lies within the Single Family future land use classification of the adopted comprehensive plan. The applicant is requesting a change in zoning from the existing classification of Residential Single Family — 1 (RSF-1) to Commercial Professional and Office (CPO). In addition, the applicant is also applying for a comprehensive map amendment to change the future land use to commercial. The intent is to allow for use of the site as a law firm. The subject property is in close proximity to the Commercial future land use classification of the adopted comprehensive plan separated only by Southwest Second Avenue. The Commercial future land use along Highway 441 denotes existing development where commercial uses predominate and where commercial development is logical and appropriate. Due to the current level of commercial activity focused at the highway it can be anticipated that there should be commercial growth in the general vicinity. There are also other commercially zoned sites and uses along Southwest Second Avenue. Additionally, properties along Southwest Second Avenue are appropriate for the establishment of less intense commercial uses, and would be an appropriate transition between heavier commercial uses found to the east and nearby residential properties to the west. There are existing commercial uses and zoning in the local neighborhood including those nearby on the same side of the street and others that are contained within the Commercial future land use classification. Although, immediately surrounding properties are zoned residential, the proposed change in zoning would not be unrelated to properties generally in the area. The general area could serve as a transition from the heavier commercial uses on Highway 441 to nearby residential uses to the west. The proposed change would have minimal impact on the surrounding mix of existing land uses. In addition, the applicant will work to minimize any potential impacts to the community. Glenn Sneider respectfully requests that the Planning Board recommend that the City Council approve the request for a change in zoning from the existing classification of Residential Single Family — 1 (RSF-1) to Commercial Professional and Office (CPO) to allow use of the site as a professional law office.

I am also writing for my mother, Wilma LaMartin, who is also an adjoining property owner and was notified by your office. We feel that this has always been an historic neighborhood of homes and to change to commercial would adversely affect the value of the neighborhood. This change would necessitate a parking lot and more traffic in the area. There are families that live near the property with small children. The neighborhood does not need more traffic due to commercial enterprise. Rezoning to Commercial Professional Office would also require a change in the future land use map and this would set a precedent in changing the use of a neighborhood that has been historically homes for decades. Such a zoning change in our area would be detrimental to nearby properties and to our quality of life. We believe the neighborhood would benefit by remaining zoned Residential Single Family. We are asking you to deny this request for rezoning. Sincerely, Bobbie L. Wilson Wilma LaMartin 301 S. W. 9th Street Okeechobee, FL. 34974 May 20, 2002 Frill L. Veach, Zoning Administrator City of Okeechobee 55 S. E. Third Avenue Okeechobee, FL. 34974-2932 RE: Request for rezoning Derita Watford property 200 S. W. 9th Street Applicant, Glenn Sneider Dear Mr. Veach: We may not be able to attend the First Public Hearing on Tuesday, May 28, 2002. We would like to go on record as opposing change of zoning from Residential Single Family 1 (RSF1). Many families, including us, built. homes in this area because of proximity to schools. It is a savings to tax payers when children live within walking distance of the schools and do riot need to be bussed. Rezoning would increase traffic and regretfully this has already become a higher traffic area. The city saw fit to build a sidewalk on S. W. 9th Street recently for safety of pedestrian traffic and leading to the school. There are historical homes in the area which we believe will always be kept in that mode. We can understand I'he one block joining South Parrott Avenue being zoned commercial, but we need a barrier, which would be S. W. Second Avenue. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Ver i L. I g Iayes zj Bernice B. Hay, � J DANIEL & CYNTHIA DAVIS 209 S.W. 9TH STREET OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA 34974 1 - 8 6 3 - 4 6 7 - 8 9 8 7 May 23, 2002 Mr. Bill L. Veach & City Councilmen 55 S.E. Third Avenue Okeechobee, Florida 34974-2932 S RE: NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR A REZONING of 200 S.W. 9'h Street Dear Sirs: We are writing this letter in response to the proposed land change of the existing zoning for 200 S.W. Th Street. We recently purchased our home (209 S.W. Th Street) on February 28, 2002. One of the reasons we decided to purchase our home is because we sought out a safe, clean residential area that would be near our jobs and near our children's school. We have two small children and were ecstatic to own our own home in a beautiful residential neighborhood. You can imagine that we were quite surprised and upset to see the proposed change on the land that sits just across from our own property. We would like to convey our objection to the proposed land change. Southwest Ninth Street is already highly traveled and we do not wish for a business to bring additional traffic. '\V1e are also concerned about the various other likely scenarios that could occur if the zoning is changed. A parking lot, additional businesses, the type(s) of businesses, etc... In addition, the value of our property is brought down! We object to any businesses encroaching on our front doorstep, or the second block of the city for that matter. Ours is clearly a residential area with numerous families and that environment should be protected. There is clearly an abundance of locations for businesses of this type elsewhere in the city of Okeechobee. Although, we did not receive notification of this change by mail, we wished to express our concern by letter as well as attendance at the upcoming Public Hearing. Sincerely, Daniel & Cynthia Davis City Residents AGENDA IV. NEW BUSINESS. A. Rezoning Petition No. 02-002-R. Consider a recommendation to the City Council to rezone 200 Southwest 9`h Street from Residential Single Family 1 (RSF1) to Commercial Professional Office (CPO) (Legal: Lots 4, 5 and 6 of Block 3, South Okeechobee). The property owner is Derita Watford. The applicant is Glenn Sneider, prospective buyer. May 28, 2002 - Planning Board - Page 2 of 3 1 ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE Jock Robertson explained that this petition is in connection with the Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No.02-003-SSA, requesting to change the land use designation from Single Family to Commercial. Mr. Robertson explained that the request for Commercial Professional Office (CPO) zoning designation at this location would not increase traffic demands beyond existing capacity. As well, formal concurrency will be performed at the time of site plan approval. Secretary Arnold submitted two letters into record from Bobbie L. Wilson, Wilma LaMartin, • Vergil L. Haves and Bernice B. Hayes indicating they were opposed to the petition. There was no public comment. There was no discussion from the Board. Board Member Mueller moved to recommend to the City Council to grant approval for Petition 02-002-R, requesting to change the existing zoning classification of Residential Single Family 1(RSFI) to Commercial Professional Office (CPO).

DISCUSSION Chairperson Montesi opened the floor for disussion on cleaning of improved and raw land. Member C. NEW BUSINESS - Discuss Code Enforcement Procedures Worley questioned the responsibility of the property owners to keep the power line easements clean. Mayor Kirk agreed for the need to be very specific in how the ordinance is worded so that the 1. Improved and raw land responsibility would not be taken off the utililty company and placed on the property owner. Attorney Cook said he would make corrections and make sure the ordinance is consistent with Section 515 of the 2. Abandoned vehicles no tags Land Development Regulations. Attorney Cook stated that he felt the two main issues that need to be considered were if the Code Enforcement Board wanted to recommend to the City Council that all property in the City be considered • improved property and if the Code Board felt it was a good idea to include a hardship clause to apply in cases that it was determined strict or immediate compliance would cause the property owner to suffer a hardship. Code Board members discussed some of the advantages and disadvantages of having a hardship clause written into the ordinance. Member Worley felt the Code Enforcement Board should be leading the City into the direction of becoming a well kept community. Mayor Kirk mentioned his concern of requiring property owners to remove all natural growth and cautioned that we do not get to that point all at once. Mayor Kirk suggested keeping a distinction between improved and unimproved property. Member Gamiotea mentioned that it might be helpful to take into consideration the size of the property. He said, for example making a special exception for property larger than one acre to maintain it's natural Florida beauty would be one way to assure all natural vegetation was not removed. Member Worley suggested keeping the existing ordinance and just rewording the sections dealing with improved and unimproved property. He gave an example of how it might be worded to say if the property has a residential structur( • there is an irrefutable presumption that it is improved land, but if it has infrastructure there is a refutable presumption that it may be improved land. Chairperson Montesi asked the Code Board Members to take these suggestions into consideration and the discussion would be continued at the next workshop. Chairperson Montesi opened the floor for discussion of disabled, inoperative motor vehicles, vessels or speciality vehicles. There was some discussion as to the type of covering that should be allowed for disabled vehicles. Chairperson Montesi suggested having a ten day limit for disabled vehicles and after that should be moved. Member Gamiotea mentioned that even if a vehicle was operable it still needed to have a current tag. The Code Enforcement Board Members decided to schedule the next workshop on April 9, 2002 at 6 p.m. with the regularly scheduled meeting to follow at 7 p.m. 9, 2002 - Code Enforcement W 2 of 3 AGENDA C. NEW BUSINESS - Discuss Code Enforcement Procedures 1. Improved and raw land 2. Abandoned vehicles no tags DISCUSSION Attorney Cook reminded the Code Board that the issue of abandoned vehicles had been sufficiently discussed at the last workshop, and the issue which needed further discussion was improved and raw lands. Vice -Chairperson Worley opened the floor for discussion and began by saying he had done some research and felt that all land within the City fell into four categories. He found by looking at the maps the City has land that is unplatted and undeveloped, land that is platted and undeveloped, land that is platted and developed and land that is unplatted but has been partially developed. He explained developed land as land serviced by infrastructure to the extent that it is available for building a residence, commercial or industrial building. Where as raw land would be considered land which has not been developed beyond what is necessary for a bone fide agricultural use, such as fencing, improved pasture, water for livestock, etc. He stated in his opinion land that is unplatted and undeveloped would be considered raw land, land that is platted and developed would be considered improved land, land that is platted and undeveloped would be considered raw land and land that is platted and partially developed only the portion developed would be considered improved the rest would be considered raw land. There was some discussion by the board members as to whether a possible third definition should be added to cover land that is platted and partially developed. If three difinitions were used they could be described as improved, partially improved and raw lands. Attorney Cook brought up the question of how the section of land owned by Doc Watford would be handled, which is platted and has improvements on the lands surrounding it, but his land is undeveloped. Member Worley felt it would fall into the category of improved land. Chief Tomey asked the Board if they felt agricultural land should be maintained to a certain standard. Member Gamiotea suggested this could be covered if we used the nuisance vegetation clause in the definition that Attorney Cook had suggested at the last workshop for raw lands. Attorney Cook said he would prepare a written definition of improved and raw lands for the Code Board to review at the next meeting. 14, 2002 - CEB 3 of 3 AGENDA ADJOURNMENT - CHAIRPERSON MONTESI PLEASE TAKE NOTICE AND BE ADVISED that if a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Code Enforcement Board with respect to any matter considered at this meeting, he/she may need to insure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. Tapes are for the sole purpose of backup for official records of the department. Marsha Montesi, Chairperson ATTEST: Sue Christopher, Secretary CODE BOARD ACTION The Code Board reviewed and discussed the definition of improved and unimproved land. Attorney Cook suggested that he would draw up a final draft of the definition of improved and unimproved property before May 29, 2002 for the Code Board to review. If that draft was approved by the Code Board it could then go on the Agenda for the City Council meeting on June 4, 2002. Then the Code Board could review the City Council's input at the next meeting on June 1 Ith before the matter went before City Council for final approval on June 18, 2002. The Code Board members agreed to have Attorney Cook get a final draft ready for the City Council meeting on June 4, 2002. Member Gamiotea moved to adjourn; seconded by Member Ballinger.
