It is a sign that certain brain cells (neurons) are discharging an excessive amount of electrical impulses; and WHEREAS, Epilepsy can be caused by injury to the brain, lack of oxygen at birth, brain tumor, infection and brain hemorrhage. In sixty percent of the cases, the cause is unknown; and WHEREAS, Epilepsy can affect anyone, at any age and at any time; and WHEREAS, more than two million Americans are aff licted with some type of Epilepsy. Of this number, 150,000 are Flodda residents; and WHEREAS, with the administration of anti convu Isant drugs, two-thirds (66.66%)of those aff licted with Epilepsy are drug controlled; and WHEREAS, lack of education about this disorder has contributed to age old myths, superstitions and prejudices; and WHEREAS, the stigma associated with this disorder is sometimes worse than the disorder itself; and WHEREAS, people who have Epilepsy make reliable and conscientious workers in job performance, productivity, safety, cooperation and attendance; and WHEREAS, studies carried out in the UNITED STATES over the past thirty years have indicated that of all disabilities, Epilepsy poses the greatest barrier to employment with unemployment rates estimated to fall between 20 and 25 percent; and WHEREAS, Epilepsy should not be a barrier to success. In addition to the normal requirements for success, a person who has Epilepsy needs a supportive environment and employers who are willing to give them an opportunity to become productive citizens.

Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 02- 005-SSA for Wrights Addition, Lots 1 through 12 of Block 3 and Browning Addibon, Lots 1 through 7 and 15 through 20 including the North to South alley was submitted by Sylvester Bufler. The property owner is Thomas P. Evans. The requestis to change the land use from Single Family to Multi -Family. The zoning is currently Multi -Family. The existing status of this property is vacant. The applicant intends to develop the 4.03 acres into multi -family housing, which allows ten units per acre. 426 OCTOBER 15, 2002 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 5 OF 9 AGENDA COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE \11il. PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE ADOPTION CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public Comments continued. Planning Staff Report findings: The Future Land Use Map as reflected by the original City's Comprehensive Plan has shown these lots as Single Family for a number of years. Inconsistently, the zoning forthese same lots has been Multi - Family for an equal period of time. It is not known whetherthere was failure of the original Comprehensive Plan to show Multi -Family as a Future Land Use for this property but that is a possibility, There is also a concern because Industrial zoned property is tothe West. The appropriateness of residential housing nearthis area raises compatibility questions. Added to the complexity of the consistency issue is that there are scattered multi -family units already built to the East and West of these lots. There are adequate public facilities to the site since the OUA has sewer and water available for this area. The use would be compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses. In regards to compliance with specific standards of the plan, the City's Comprehensive Plan speaks to the provision of a variety of housing types and the need for affordable housing as an issue for new development. The appropriateness of this request should hinge on compatibility, whether sewer and water are available and traffic impacts. All factors need to be shown to be not detrimental if the area becomes Multi -Family, Finally, there are no known detrimental environmental impacts that would need to be considered if this property is changed to Multi -Family. This change in the Future Land Use is recommended subject to a determination that traffic impact is not a factor. Site Plan requirements can buffer this development from Industrial uses to the West. The Land Planning Agency reviewed the application attheir September 24, 2002 meeting. The recommendation from the LPA was for the applicant to submit a traffic study to the City Council along with the application. If the traffic study indicated that there would not be a detrimental impact to the area, their recommendation was to approve the application. The traffic study was presented in ExhibitOne, Mr. LaRue advised that based on the information contained in the study, the area would not be overly impacted if it was developed Multi -Family verse's Single Family. There was a lengthy discussion between the Council and Mr. LaRue. c) Vote on motion. VOTE KIRK - YEA CHANDLER - YEA OLIVER - YEA WATFORD - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION CARRIED.

Specifically, it would be beneficial if a Trazisportation Engineer or Planner could show the impact of the additional trips on NW 3rd Street and NW 0 Avenue that will be caused by the land use change. As we discussed at the meeting, the maximum number of units that could be constructed under the current land use is 24. If the land use is changed to accommodate your project, the maximum number of units that could be built is 40. We recommend that the analysis show the irnpect of the maximum difference, which is 16 units. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 239/ 643-2324 ext. 120 if you have questions.

Myers, Florida 33908 (Via telefax 941 / 590-9909) RE: Sylvester Butler 02-005-SSA CEC File No. 02.249 Dear Mr. Cautero: is Pursuant to your letter to Mr. Sylvester Butler dated September 25, as well as our recent conversations, I am writing to give my opinion of probable traffic impacts for the above -referenced project. In the absence of available existing trip and level of service data for the area, the analysis will be based on a comparison of impacts of the existing land use (residential single-family) and the proposed land use (residential multi-farnily.) Our analysis follows: Existing Land Use: Residential Single Family (maximum 24 units). Proposed Land Use: Residential Multi -Family (maximum 40 units). Trip information is taken from the Institution of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 6'h Edition (relevant sheets attached). Direction split information is not analyzed in this report, as it is expected that there is no appreciable difference in split geometry between the two land uses. Trip calculations are summarized as follows: Proposed Land Use Avg. Daily Trips" A.M.

NEW BUSINESS. A. Consider application 02-005-SSA: Thomas P. Evans is the property owner. Sylvester Butler is the applicant. The property is located off of S.E. 10' Avenue to include lots 1-7 inclusive, lots 15-20 inclusive and the alley lying between said lots, Browning Addition; and all of Block 3, Wrights First Addition. The purpose of the request is to allow a change in the Future Land Use Map from the existing designation of Single Family to a Multi -Family designation. 0 Vince Cautero, Planning Consultant described the subject property and gave a brief background of the surrounding properties. He explained that if granted the request this property would then become consistent with the zoning map which already shows a designation of Residential Multiple Family. Mr. Cautero explained that the application would normally require lanscaping plans to be submitted however, the major concern with this application is the possible traffic impacts. Planning Staff recommends that the requested change be granted subject to the determination that a traffic impact is not a factor and that site plan requirements can buffer this development from the Industrial uses to the west. Attorney Cook explained that the Future Land Use map change could recommend approval to the City Council subject to the submittal of the traffic study, but cannot make a conditional approval. The Board has several questions regarding utilities to the site and the traffic impacts that 40 residential units would have on the area. Mr. Sylvester Butler, applicant, addressed the Board. Mr. Butler informed the Board that the proposed site does have utilities available. He added that the traffic should not impact the area, with the help of a nearby traffic light. There was further discussion from the Board regarding the traffic issue. There was no fin-ther public comment. There was no further discussion from the Board. Board Member Ledferd moved to recommend to the City Council to grant approval for Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 02-005-SSA and for the applicant to submit a traffic study as part of his application prior to the City Council meeting, requesting to change the land use designation from Single Family to Multi Family. Board Member Jones seconded the motion. 2002 - Land Planning Agency - Page 3 of 4 S9t6N - VOTE IV. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Consider application 02-005-SSA: Thomas P. Evans is the property owner.

The number of units allowed would have to be consistent with the City's Multi -Family Residential Zoning District's regulations. uumma 0 a F11 Le I DIM UR North: Future Land Use Map Classification: Single -Family Zoning District: Residential Multi -Family Existing Land Use: Post Office, Single -Family, Multi -Family East: Future Land Use Map Classification: Single Family Zoning District: Residential Multi -Family Existing Land Use: Single -Family South: Future Land Use Map Classification: Single -Family Zoning District: Residential Multi -Family Existing Land Use: Multi -Family West: Future Land Use Map Classification: Industrial/Single-Family Zoning District: Industrial Existing Land Use: Machine Shop The City's Multi -Family Residential Zoning District allows 10 units per acre and the developer would build a little over forty units on this property. A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. The Future Land Use Map as reflected by the original City's Comprehensive Plan has shown these lots as Single Family for a number of years. Inconsistently, the zoning for these same lots has been Multi -Family for an equal period of time. It is not known whether there was a failure of the original Comprehensive Plan to show Multi -Family as a Future Land Use for this property but that is a possibility. There is also a concern because Industrial zoned property is to the west. The appropriateness of residential housing near this area raises compatibility questions. Added to the complexity of the consistency issue is that there are scattered multi -family units already built to the East and West of these lots. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities The Utility Authority has sewer and water available for this area. . . 6 0 9 Staff Report Applicant: Sylvester Butler Small -Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 02-005-SSA C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses See above comments concerning the Industrial property to the west. The Multi - Family units, given appropriate buffers, may be more practical in this area than single family homes. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan speaks to the provision of a variety of housing types and the need for affordable housing as an issue for new development. The appropriateness of this request should hinge on compatibility, whether sewer and water is available and traffic impacts. All factors need to be shown to be not detrimental if this area becomes Multi -Family. Finally, there are no known detrimental environmental impacts that would need to be considered if this property is changed to Multi -Family This change in Future Land Use is recommended subject to a determination that traffic impact is not a factor. Site Plan requirements can buffer this development from Industrial uses to the west. Submitted by: James G.
