NEW BUSINESS A.1.a) Motion to read proposed Ordinance No. 1166 by title only, and set a Final Public Hearing date for June 5, 2018, regarding Abandonment of Right -of -Way Petition No. 18-001-AC, submitted by Joy Kidwell of JMK of Okeechobee, Inc., to vacate the 15-foot wide Alley running North to South in Block 2, City of Okeechobee Plat Book 5, Page 5 - City Attorney (Exhibit 2). COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE Based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) traffic generation rates a single-family home will generate 1.00 trips in the peaK nour. The ITE trip generation factor for Medical/Dental Office use Is j.ot peaK nour trips per 1,000 square feet. The likely maximum traffic associated with a 14,000 square -foot medical office building would be 50 trips in the afternoon peak hour. Since this is less than 100 peak -hour trips, no traffic Impact Statement is needed. However, it may be necessary to access the impact of traffic on the adjacent street and properties at time of site plan approval, depending on the actual use proposed at that time. Regarding adequacy of public facilities, the Applicant has received letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority indicating that service is available and that there is adequate excess capacity to accommodate the demand for potable water and wastewater treatment that would be associated with a proposed non-residential use. The Applicant has stated there appears to be no wetlands on the site. While the National Wetlands Inventory map indicates some Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetlands in the southern part of the site, aerial photography indicates that this area has largely been cleared of significant vegetation. The subject property is outside of the 100-year flood zone. The site has no significant or unique characteristics regarding environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions or susceptibility to flooding. Planner Brisson verified the maps provided by the Applicant were incorrect but the maps included with the Planning Staff Report are correct. Mr. Steve Dobbs of 1062 Jakes Way, Okeechobee, was present on behalf of the Applicant. There was a brief discussion by the Council.

VOTE: WATFORD — YEA CHANDLER — YEA CLARK — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA RITTER — YEA MOTION CARRIED. Administrator MontesDeOca was asked to pose this topic for discussion to get the consensus of the Council on changing from a Code Enforcement Board to Magistrate. A letter from the Economic Council of Okeechobee supporting this change was distributed at the meeting and reads as follows: "Dear Mayor Watford: The effectiveness and integrity of the code enforcement process, along with the efforts of code enforcement staff, should be highly valued by the City of Okeechobee and our community considering the vital role this department has for the welfare of Okeechobee residents and taxpayers. F.S. Chapter 162 provides the tools to enable local governments to ensure compliance with any local codes or ordinances. The statute also allows local government to use either a volunteer board or a magistrate form for code enforcement. Unlike other appointed city or county boards, the code enforcement board has a significant amount of autonomy and authority in that its decisions are final and require no further approval by the city council. Because of this autonomy and the lack of legal training of most volunteers, many city and county governments have moved away from the volunteer board and contracted with an attorney to manage this very important and legally binding process. We recognize that community volunteers may have an intimate understanding of the community and may enable the board to review pending cases in the context of a larger understanding of the community. However, if the board fails to follow the detailed processes set forth in Ch. 162 and ensures the substantive and procedural due process in these type of hearings, it can lead to indefensible orders that are overturned by the courts. Or it may give a perception of the personal predisposition of board members which erodes local confidence in the fairness of the necessary enforcement actions. Consequently, The Economic Council encourages the City to use a special magistrate in lieu of a volunteer code board. This change will afford staff and city taxpayers a more effective code enforcement process. As you move forward into the FY 1 et eaa^r, 'vVe also ask to "cF a' �;,� rtn l� [.' 1�, r;r:� budget y , iat you carefully ✓vale to i vl S 0, :his uAepairfinenl 3, i.. i l i F i Siv � L uiiiviia . funding to support the code enforcement staff's very vital role within our community. A well -functioning code enforcement process which unbiasedly applies our local laws is invaluable to the future of our City. Thank you for your continued service to the City of Okeechobee. Respectfully, Frank Irby, Chairman, Economic Council of Okeechobee County, Inc." I 1 1 MAY 15, 2018 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 9 OF 9 311 1 1 AGENDA VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED E.

Mayor Watford yielded the floor to City Planning Consultant, Mr. Bill Brisson, Senior Planner of LaRue Planning and Management Services, who explained the Planning. Board reviewed Application No. 18-001-SSA on April 19 2018, and f2prxL it to be consi en with the Comprehensive Plan based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report and un mously recommended approval. 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. Although vacant, properties to the immediate North and West of the subject property are designated Commercial on the FLUM and zoned Heavy Commercial (CHV). The vacant property to the South is designated SF on the FLUM and zoned Residential Single Family -One (RSF1) and to the East is Taylor Creek. Single family use can be compatible with Commercial use depending on the potential uses allowed on the commercial property. Based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) traffic generation rates a single-family home will generate 1.00 trips in the peak hour. The ITE trip generation factor for Medical -Dental Office use is 3.57 peak hour trips per 1,000 square feet. The likely maximum traffic associated with a 14,000 square -foot medical office building would be 50 trips in the afternoon peak hour. Since this is less than 100 peak -hour trips, no traffic Impact Statement is needed. However, it may be necessary to access the impact of traffic on the adjacent street and properties at time of site plan approval, depending on the actual use Page 3 of 11 proposed at that time. Regarding adequacy of public facilities, the applicant has received letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority indicating that service is available and that there is adequate excess capacity to accommodate the demand for potable water and wastewater treatment that would be associated with a proposed nonresidential use. The applicant has stated there appears to be no wetlands on the site. While the National Wetlands Inventory map indicates some Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetlands in the southern part of the site, aerial photography indicates that this area has largely been cleared of significant vegetation. The subject property is outside of the 100-year flood zone. The site has no significant or unique characteristics regarding environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions or susceptibility to flooding.

Public Facilities Impacts Note: The applicant must calculate public facilities impacts based on a maximum development scenario. Traffic Analysis a. For Small Scale Amendments (SSA) (1) The Applicant shall estimate of traffic volumes associated with the proposed change using the most recent edition of Trip Generation prepared by the Institute of Traffic Engineers and assuming maximum development potential of the property. The existing FLU for the proposed property is 1.06 acres of Single Family. The maximum density of the FLU Single family has a maximum density of 5 units per acre, which would yield a total of 5 units. For a total traffic count of 66 daily trips and 6 PM peak hour trips. The proposed FLU Commercial for these parcels would have a maximum buildout of 50% according to the City's Comprehensive Plan. However, if you filled the parcel with parking for a medical facility, you could only support 14,000 sf of building. The building would have to be constructed above the parking, but the attached preliminary site plan supports this point. The 14,000 sf building would yield a total of 384 daily trips with a PM peak hour of 49.5 trips. This represents an increase of 384 daily trips and 44 peak hour trips. Based on ITE 10`h Edition. (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. The project generates less than 100 more peak hour trips. 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 Current 5 * 114 = 570 gpd Future = 0 gpd (2) 0.15 gallons per day per square foot of floor area for nonresidential uses Current 0 Ogpd Future 14,000*0.15 = 2.100 gpd Current total = 570 gpd Future total = 2,100 gpd b. Recreation, and Open Space demand for residential uses of 3 acres per thousand peak season population. N/A, Proposed Commercial 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; Please see attached letter from Waste Management b. Water and Sewer: The impact of the potential FLU change is addressed in the letter provided by OUA. c. Schools. N/A, no additional capacity to schools for a commercial 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 US Fish and Wildlife Service. From this map, there appear to be no wetlands on the subject parcel. 2. Soils posing severe limitations to development There are two soils present at this site from the attached NRCS Websoil Survey, there is one soil type on the parcel Manatee loamy Fine Sand, Depressional, which should cause no developments limitations. 3. Unique habitat. This parcel is undeveloped, but provides no unique habitat. 4. Endangered species of wildlife and plants. Since this property has been partially developed for many years and with all the development around it, it does not provide the conducive habitat for endangered species. 5. Floodprone areas. According to the attached FEMA map 12093C0415C, the subject parcels are mostly inside all structures have been built outside flood zone AE (16.0), but are within Zone X, which are areas determined to be outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. D. Internal Consistency with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan 1. Discuss how the proposal affects established City of Okeechobee population projections. This parcel is currently undeveloped. With this anticipated as a commercial developement, 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 Amendment's Policies and Objectives from this request. The minimal increase in density will not change the ability of the city or any other utilities to provide available water, sewer, or roads. 3. Describe how the proposal affects the County's Comprehensive Plan as it relates to adjacent unincorporated areas. This project is an unincorporated parcel but will have very limited 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)(I) is to discourage Urban Sprawl, this application can hardly be classified as Urban Sprawl since it is simply undeveloped land inside the City Limits for development or infill, which is the preferred development pattern. 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. Proposed Conditions For the proposed Commercial Future Land Use designation, the maximum development is approximately 50% maximum lot coverage or 28,100 sf. L 1.2.d. Use Measure Rate Gallons per Da Single Family 5 Units 114 gpd 570 gpd —water/sewer (Existing) Commercial (Proposed) 14,000 sf 15 gpd / 100 sq. ft. 2,100 gpd — water/sewer 1,530 gpd — water/sewer Net Impact Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants Based on the information obtained from Okeechobee Utility Authority, the permitted capacity of the surface water treatment plant is 5.0 mgd with the ground water treatment plant rated at 1.0 mgd. The wastewater treatment plant permitted capacity is currently 3.0 mgd. The maximum daily flow of the combined water treatment plant finished water production is 3.65 mgd for the period of January 2017 through December 2017. The average daily flow of the wastewater treatment plant is 0.828 mgd of the 3 mgd plant 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. Waste Management has previously indicated they have a 100 year capacity left in their 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 X. There are welifields within 1,000 feet of the parcel, however, Taylor Creek lies between the well fields and this parcel providing a hydraulic and physical barrier to any potential adverse impacts. 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 potential commercial project, 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 located in any storm surge zone. The property is not within the Category 3 Hurricane Evacuation Area.

Mason Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 18-001-SSA The matter before the Local Planning Agency and City Council is an application for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for a 1.06-acre vacant parcel bordering the western boundary of Taylor Creek generally from NE 14th Street to NE 13th Street. The parcel is designated Single -Family Residential on the Future Land Use Map. The proposal is to change the Future Land Use designation of this property From Single - Family Residential to Commercial, with a concurrent rezoning to CLT, Light Commercial. 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 6 through 8. Future Land Use Category Zoning District Use of Property Acreage Existing Proposed Single -Family Residential Commercial RSF 1, Residential Single -Family CLT, Light Commercial Vacant Medical office building 1.06 Acre 1.06 Acre Future Land Use, Zoning, and Existing Uses on Surrounding Properties Future Land Use Map Classification North Zoning District Existing Land Use Future Land Use Map Classification East Zoning District Existing Land Use Future Land Use Map Classification South Zoning District Existing Land Use Future Land Use Map Classification West Zoning District Existing Land Use LaKuc ptanni.ng Commercial CHV, Heavy Commercial Vacant Taylor Creek Taylor Creek Taylor Creek Single Family Residential RSF 1, Residential Single -Family Vacant Commercial CHV, Heavy Commercial Vacant Staff Report Applicant's Name: William H. Mason Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 18-001-SSA General Analysis and Staff Comments A Qualification for Amendment Based on the size of the property (1.06 acre) this application qualifies under Chapter 163, F.S. as a Small -Scale Development Activity Plan Amendment (SSA) to the Comprehensive Plan. B. Current and Future Development Potential as Single -Family Residential The property is vacant. The maximum standard density allowable in the Single - Family Residential Future Land Use Category is four units per acre (five if the units qualify as affordable housing). Maximum development potential would be five single-family dwellings. C. Future Development Potential as Commercial Practical Maximum Likely Future Development Potential While the Commercial Future Land Use category allows for an FAR of up to 3.00, given the 50% coverage limitation and the character of Okeechobee, one would not practically expect an industrial building greater than two stories. In this instance, the Applicant has demonstrated, via a simple conceptual site sketch of the property, that the most likely maximum development potential would be a single -story structure with about 14,000 square feet of medical office space. 2. Proposed Use The Applicant, intends to use the property as the site for a medical office building, which is a permitted use within the Commercial Future Land Use Category and the CLT, Light Commercial Zoning District. Comprehensive Plan Analysis A. Consistency and Compatibility with Comprehensive Plan and 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 adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the character and land uses of surrounding areas and shall discourage urban sprawl. 1 :,K­ planning Staff Report Applicant's Name: William H. Mason Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 18-001-SSA While properties to the immediate west of the subject property are designated Commercial and have been approved for an Assisted Living Facility, the property to the south remains designated for single-family use on both the FLUM and the Zoning Map. Single-family use can be compatible with Commercial use depending on the potential uses allowed on the commercial property. B. Adequacy of Public Facilities Traffic Impacts Based on the 9th Edition "Trip Generation" published by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE), a single-family home will generate 1.00 trips in the peak hour. The ITE trip generation factor for Medical -Dental Office use is 3.57 peak hour trips per 1,000 square feet. The likely maximum traffic associated with a 14,000 square -foot medical office building would be 50 trips in the afternoon peak hour. Since this is less than 100 peak -hour trips, no Traffic Impact Statement is needed. However, it may be necessary to assess the impact of traffic on the adjacent streets and properties at the time of site plan approval, depending on the actual use proposed at that time. Demand for Potable Water and Sewer Treatment The estimated demand for potable water and waste water treatment for one single- family home is 308 gallons per day (114 gallons per person per day at an average household size of 2.7). Demand for potable water and waste water treatment for the five single-family homes that could be permitted under the current Single -Family Residential Future Land Use Designation would amount to about 1,540 gallons per day. Applying an estimate of 0.15 gallons of water per day per square foot of commercial use indicates a demand of about 2,100 gallons of potable water and waste water treatment each per day. The increase of 560 gallons per day over that for the potential development of five single-family homes is insignificant and will have no effect upon the available capacities of OUA's potable and wastewater treatment facilities. The Applicant has included in his submission letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority indicating that service is available and that there is adequate excess capacity to accommodate the demand for potable water and wastewater treatment that would be associated with a proposed nonresidential use. LaRue 4 ptanning Staff Report Applicant's Name: William H. Mason Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 18-001-SSA C. Environmental Impacts The Applicant has stated there appear to be no wetlands on the site. While the National Wetlands Inventory map indicates some Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetlands in the southern part of the site, aerial photography indicates that this area has largely been cleared of significant vegetation. The subject property is outside of the 100-year flood zone. Therefore, we agree that the site has no significant or unique characteristics regarding environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions or susceptibility to flooding. Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested Commercial 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 Commercial on the City's Future Land Use Map.

Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment Application No, 18-001-SSA, from Single Family Residential (SF) to Commercial, on 1.06± unplatted acres located at 511 Northeast 91h Street. Planner Brisson reviewed the Planning Staff Report and explained the Application is for property bordering the western boundary of Taylor Creek from Northeast 14th to Northeast 131h Street. There is a concurrent Rezoning Petition to Light Commercial (CLT). Although not committed, the intended use is for a medical office building. Mr. Steven Dobbs was present on behalf of the Applicant and available for questions from the Board. There were none. 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 else regarding the application or visited the site. There were none. APRIL 19. 2018 — PLANNING BOARD - PAGE 4 OF 7 I AGENDA I ACTION • DISCUSSION - VOTE j PUBLIC HEARING ITEM CONTINUED. S. a) Consider a recommendation to the City Council to approve or deny Application No. 18-001-SSA. 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. Although vacant, properties to the immediate North and West of the subject property are designated Commercial on the FLUM and zoned Heavy Commercial (CHV). The vacant property to the South is designated SF on the FLUM and zoned Residential Single Family -One (RSF1) and to the East is Taylor Creek. Single family use can be compatible with Commercial use depending on the potential uses allowed on the commercial property. Based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) traffic generation rates a single-family home will generate 1.00 trips in the peak hour. The ITE trip generation factor for Medical -Dental Office use is 3.57 peak hour trips per 1,000 square feet. The likely maximum traffic associated with a 14,000 square -foot medical office building would be 50 trips in the afternoon peak hour. Since this is less than 100 peak -hour trips, no traffic Impact Statement is needed. However, it may be necessary to access the impact of traffic on the adjacent street and properties at time of site plan approval, depending on the actual use proposed at that time. Regarding adequacy of public facilities, the applicant has received letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority indicating that service is available and that there is adequate excess capacity to accommodate the demand for potable water and wastewater treatment that would be associated with a proposed nonresidential use. The applicant has stated there appears to be no wetlands on the site. While the National Wetlands Inventory map indicates some Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetlands in the southern part of the site, aerial photography indicates that this area has largely been cleared of significant vegetation. The subject property is outside of the 100-year flood zone. The site has no significant or unique characteristics regarding environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions or susceptibility to flooding. A motion and a second was offered by Members Brass and Jonassaint to recommend approval to the City Council for Comprehensive Plan Small Scale FLUM Amendment Application No, 18-001-SSA, from SF to Commercial, on 1.06± unplatted acres located at 511 Northeast 911 Street and find it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area.

The recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration at a Public Hearing, tentatively scheduled for May 15, 2018, 6:00 P.M. Rezoning Petition No. 18-001-R is being requested by the Applicant, Mr. William Mason, to rezone from RSF1 to CLT, on 1.06± unplatted acres located at 511 Northeast 9t" Street, for the proposed use of a medical office building. This being a quasi-judicial proceeding, Notary Public Patty Burnette administered an oath to those intending to offer testimony; all responded affirmatively and stated their names and addresses for the record: Bill Brisson, Senior Planner, LaRue Planning and Management, of 1375 Jackson Street, Suite 206, Fort Myers, Florida and Mr. Steven Dobbs, Project Consultant for the property owner and applicant, of 1062 Jakes Way, Okeechobee Florida. Chairperson Hoover yielded the floor to Planner Brisson to present the item. He explained the Petition has a related Small Scale FLUM Amendment (No. 18-001-SSA). Should the City deny the FLUM change to Commercial, the rezoning request would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and should also be denied. Mr. Dobbs was present and available for questions from the Board. There were no questions although Mr. Dobbs wanted to note the difference in the shape of the subject property in the various documents submitted with the Petition. He further explained the actual piece of property is rather large, but only the portion located between Northeast 13th and 14th Streets is the subject of this request. 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, a sign was posted on the subject property, and courtesy notices were mailed to seven surrounding property owners. Chairperson Hoover asked Board Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone prior to this meeting regarding the petition. There were none. 94I INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA INC.

Chairperson Hoover yielded the floor to Planner Brisson, who explained the Applicant, JMK of Okeechobee, Inc., is requesting to abandon 315 feet of the 15-foot wide unimproved alley in Block 2 running from the South boundary line of Northeast 13th Street to the North boundary line of Northeast 14th Street. The Applicant owns Lots 11 to 14, Muzaffar Husain Trustee owns Lots 15 to 17, and Lot 10 is owned by 441 Palms LLC. The adjoining property owners have no objection to vacating the alleyway. The Petition was reviewed at the March 15, 2018, Technical Review Committee Meeting, a recommendation was made for approval with the following special condition: at time of development a proper easement will need to be granted for sufficient access to the City/County drainage easement along Northeast 14th Street for maintenance. Planning Staff is recommending approval based on the following responses to the required findings. The property is designated Commercial on the Future Land Use Map and Heavy Commercial on the Zoning Map. It is not the sole means of access to any property. All adjoining or nearby properties have access via North Parrott Avenue and/or Northeast 13th Street. The public benefits associated with the abandonment are, the existing alley is currently unused, and has no immediate or future use.

TRC - March 15, 2018 - Page 1 of 3 V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Abandonment of Right -of -Way Petition No. 18-001-AC continued. Planning Staff Report continued: Planning Staffs responses to the required findings are the property is designated Commercial on the Future Land Use Map and Heavy Commercial on the Zoning Map. The proposed future use is undetermined. The lands bordering the Alley carry the same Future Land Use and Zoning designations which simplifies development and enhances the chances that all future development will be compatible with surrounding properties. The Alley is not the sole means of access to any property. All adjoining or nearby properties have access from Parrott Avenue and/or Northeast 13th Street. The public benefits associated with the abandonment are: the existing Alleyway is currently unused and has no immediate or future use; it will be a benefit to the City to remove the existing rights -of -way which will reduce the land the City is required to maintain and the property will be subject to ad valorem taxation. The applicant has submitted Letters of No Objection from Florida Power and Light, CenturyLink, Comcast Cable and Okeechobee Utility Authority. Planning Staff is recommending approval based on these findings. County Environmental Health Department: No issues were received. OUA: No issues were received. Public Works: Public Works Director Allen noted an easement is needed for access to the ditch along Northeast 14th Street for maintenance. Police Department: No issues were received.

Chairperson Montes De Oca disclosed he had spoken to Chief Peterson as he was not able to attend today's meeting. He also spoke to Mr. Steve Dobbs, Project Engineer for the Applicant and Mr. Goodbread. There were no other disclosures. A motion and a second was offered by Public Works Director Allen and Fire Chief Smith to recommend approval to the Planning Board for Abandonment of Right -of -Way Petition No.18- 001-AC, to abandon the 15-foot wide Alley running North and South between Lots 11 through 16 and 10 and 17 of Block 2, CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, as recorded in Plat Book 5, Page 5, Public Records of Okeechobee County, with the following condition: 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.

Mason Petition No. 18-001-R The matter before the Local Planning Agency and City Council is an application to rezone a 1.06-acre vacant parcel bordering the western boundary of Taylor Creek generally from NE 14th Street to NE 13th Street, from Residential Single -Family (RSF 1) to CLT, Light Commercial. The property is also the subject of a concurrent Future Land Use Map Amendment from Single -Family Residential to Commercial. 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 6 through 8.

Mason Petition No. 18-001-R Section 70-340 of the Land Development Regulations requires that the reviewing body find that an application for rezoning meets each of the following conditions. The Applicant has provided brief 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. 1. The proposed rezoning is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. "The proposed request in not contrary to the Comprehensive plan requirements and is currently zoned Single Family Residential." Staff Comment: The requested rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The request involves a zoning change to CLT which is a zoning district specifically cited in the Comprehensive Plan as appropriate for a property designated Commercial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. " "The proposed use has yet to be determined, but the use will fall in the requested zoning classification." Staff Comment: While the application does not identify the specific use to which the property will be put, the Application of 18-001-SSA identified medical offices as the proposed use. Medical and other offices are permitted uses in the CLT District. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. "The proposed land use change should have a positive impact on the public interest to develop land that has access to all utilities and roads and bring the land value up as a developed parcel instead of undeveloped. Staff Comment: We agree that the permitted uses in the CLT District are appropriate for the subject property and positively affect the public interest. While some of the allowable Special exception uses may be considered too intense for this location, any such uses would be subject to scrutiny and approval by the Board of Adjustment at a public hearing. LAKIII. planning Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: William H. Mason Petition No. 18-001-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." Staff Comment: We agree that medical, and other office -type uses, and other moderately intense uses permitted in the CLT District meet the above standards. In the event any of the more intense uses allowable as special exceptions should be proposed in the future, the Board of Adjustment would consider these in light of their effects upon Taylor Creek and the residentially designated lands immediately to the south. 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. "The proposed use should positively impact property values, living conditions and be an improvement to the adjacent property and develop previously undeveloped land." Staff Comment: We agree that medical, other office -type uses, and most retail and other moderately intense uses will not adversely affect living conditions, property values or deter development or improvement to adjacent properties. Adjacent properties are afforded protection from the impacts of more intensive uses by the Special Exception and Site Plan Review processes. 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 proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding unlike uses to the east by Taylor Creek and the land to the east is OUA's Water Treatment Plant which should require no buffer and south by providing the City required setbacks of 20' from residential to the south." Staff Comment: A 20-foot setback should provide an adequate buffer to the residentially designated property to the south from medical and other office uses and most other moderately intense commercial uses. Adjacent properties are afforded protection from the impacts of more intensive uses by the Special Exception and Site Plan Review processes. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. "The use will not create density patterns that would overburden any public facilities. The potential development impacts will be within the already available amenities." Staff Comment: We agree, light commercial uses on a 1.06-acre parcel would have no impact on density and would not likely overburden public facilities, utility facilities or streets. LaRue 4 ptanni.nng Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: William H. Mason Petition No. 18-001-R The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. "The proposed use will not impact traffic congestion as this is currently a dead end street with abandoned prior uses and undeveloped parcels on the street with adequate access to SR 441N, which will be right in and right out as there is median on SR 441 adjacent from this street." Staff Comment: We agree that the development of the subject property alone will not likely create traffic congestion. However, with the entire balance of the lands between NE 13th and 14th Streets from US 441 east to the subject property having already been zoned to CHV, the ability of NE 131h street to accommodate peak -hour traffic from development of those properties, the subject property, and the unknown extent of development on the south side, may need to be assessed at the site plan stages of the various developments. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. "The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions." Staff Comment: We agree. Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, and assuming the Application 18-001-SSA to change the land use designation on the FLUM to Commercial is approved, we find the requested rezoning to CLT 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. However, if the foregoing amendment to the FLUM (18-001-SSA) was not approved, the rezoning request would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and should also be denied. Submitted by: Wm. F.

The recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration at a Public Hearing, tentatively scheduled for May 15, 2018, 6:00 P.M. Rezoning Petition No. 18-001-R is being requested by the Applicant, Mr. William Mason, to rezone from RSF1 to CLT, on 1.06± unplatted acres located at 511 Northeast 90 Street, for the proposed use of a medical office building. This being a quasi-judicial proceeding, Notary Public Patty Burnette administered an oath to those intending to offer testimony; all responded affirmatively and stated their names and addresses for the record: Bill Brisson, Senior Planner, LaRue Planning and Management, of 1375 Jackson Street, Suite 206, Fort Myers, Florida and Mr. Steven Dobbs, Project Consultant for the property owner and applicant, of 1062 Jakes Way, Okeechobee Florida. Chairperson Hoover yielded the floor to Planner Bdsson to present the item. He explained the Petition has a related Small Scale FLUM Amendment (No. 18-001-SSA). Should the City deny the FLUM change to Commercial, the rezoning request would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and should also be denied. Mr. Dobbs was present and available for questions from the Board. There were no questions although Mr. Dobbs wanted to note the difference in the shape of the subject property in the various documents submitted with the Petition. He further explained the actual piece of property is rather large, but only the portion located between Northeast 131h and 14n Streets is the subject of this request. 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, a sign was posted on the subject property, and courtesy notices were mailed to seven surrounding property owners. Chairperson Hoover asked Board Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone prior to this meeting regarding the petition. There were none. APRIL 19, 2018 — PLANNING BOARD - PAGE 6 OF 7 AGENDA; . ACTION - DISCUSSION -VOTE VII. PUBLIC HEARING — QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEM CONTINUED. 6. a) Consider a recommendation to the City Council to approve or deny Planning Staffs findings are as follows: The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Petition No.18-001-R: request involves a zoning change to CLT, which is a zoning district specifically cited in the Comprehensive Plan as appropriate for a property designated Commercial on the FLUM. While the Petition does not identify the specific use to which the property will be used, Application No. 18-001-SSA identifies medical offices as the proposed use which is a permitted use in the CLT District. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. The requested CLT Zoning is appropriate for the subject property. While some of the allowable Special Exception uses may be considered too intense for this location, any such uses would be subject to scrutiny and approval by the Board of Adjustment. The vacant properties to the immediate North and West of the subject property are designated Commercial on the FLUM and zoned CHV. The vacant property to the South is designated SF on the FLUM and zoned RSF1 and to the East is Taylor Creek. The proposed use would not be expected to adversely affect property values or living conditions on adjacent or nearby properties. The required 20-foot setback should provide an adequate buffer to the residentially designated property to the South from medical and other uses and somewhat intense commercial uses. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities or create an inappropriate density pattern in the area. The development of the subject property alone will not likely create traffic congestion. However, with the entire area between Northeast 13U and 14+h Streets from US 441 (North Parrott Avenue) East to the subject property having already been zoned to CHV, the ability of Northeast 131h Street to accommodate peak -hour traffic from development of those properties, the subject property, and the unknown extent of development on the south side, may need to be assessed at the site plan stages of the various developments.

F.S. Chapter 162 provides the tools to enable local governments to ensure compliance with any local codes or ordinances. The statute also allows local government to use either a volunteer board or a magistrate form for code enforcement. Unlike other appointed city or county boards, the code enforcement board has a significant amount of autonomy and authority in that its decisions are final and require no further approval by the city council. Because of this autonomy and the lack of legal training of most volunteers, many city and county governments have moved away from the volunteer board and contracted with an attorney to manage this very important and legally binding process. We recognize that community volunteers may have an intimate understanding of the community and may enable the board to review pending cases in the context of a larger understanding of the community. However, if the board fails to follow the detailed processes set forth in Ch. 162 and ensures the substantive and procedural due process in these type of hearings, it can lead to indefensible orders that are overturned by the courts. Or it may give a perception of the personal predisposition of board members which erodes local confidence in the fairness of the necessary enforcement actions. Consequently, The Economic Council encourages the City to use a special magistrate in lieu of a volunteer code board. This change will afford staff and city taxpayers a more effective code enforcement process. As you move forward into the FY 18/19 budget year, we also ask that you carefully evaluate the needs of this department and appropriate additional funding to support the code enforcement staff's very vital role within our community. A well -functioning code enforcement process which unbiasedly applies our local laws is invaluable to the future of our City. Thank you for your continued service to the City of Okeechobee.

No.9 Alternatives to Traditional Code Enforcement Boards Through F.S. Ch. 162, the Local Government Code Enforcement Boards Act, the legislature expressly granted Florida cities and counties the power to enforce their codes through a variety of tools, including fines, abatement, and foreclosure. The Local Government Code Enforcement Boards Act requires that, when possible, such boards be composed of "an architect, a businessperson, an engineer, a general contractor, a subcontractor, and a realtor."Z Unlike other appointed city or county boards, the code enforcement board has a significant amount of autonomy and authority in that its decisions are final. Neither the board's finding of a violation nor its establishment of a fine for the violation require further approval by the city council or county commission. Rather, the only avenue by which the decision of a code enforcement board may be challenged is through appeal to the local circuit court.' Apparent benefits to the use of volunteer boards to adjudicate code enforcement violations. As community volunteers, members of code enforcement boards typically have an intimate understanding of their community, including its historic and current development patterns, areas of local blight, the reputation of local landlords and land -holding trusts, pending redevelopment efforts, and other civic matters that may enable the board to review pending cases in the context of a larger understanding of community well-being. There are several drawbacks to the use of community volunteer boards to effectuate code enforcement. Some local governments, particularly smaller cities, run into difficulty in consistently filling these volunteer positions. Per F.S. §162.05, the board must be composed of either five or seven members depending on the size of the local government.4 Some local governments have also found that board members drawn from the local community may also come to the board with predetermined loyalties, vendettas, or biases that prohibit those members from affording the due process necessary to this quasi-judicial process. Although as noted above, there is a perception of cost -savings by use of a volunteer board, one must keep in mind that F.S. §162.05 requires local governments to retain a separate legal advisor for their code enforcement boards from the government's general legal counsel.6 This statutory mandate to employ an additional attorney as advisor to the volunteer board may negate the cost savings of using a volunteer board. Members of a code enforcement board rarely are required to have any legal training or special knowledge of the local zoning codes. Rather, the statutory criteria to serve on a code enforcement board are simply a desire to serve on the board and appointment by the appropriate government officials. In this regard, the composition of a code enforcement board is much like an empaneled jury, if a jury governed all conduct in the courtroom. However, without legal training, such volunteers may lack the legal skills necessary to conduct the code enforcement hearings, If a code enforcement board is comparable to a jury, then the special magistrate is the "judge" of code enforcement procedures. In the special magistrate process, one individual, usually with legal training, conducts a public hearing regarding the alleged violation, renders a ruling, establishes fines, and conducts all other necessary processes for code enforcement. There are multiple provisions in Ch. 162 that authorize a local government to utilize a special magistrate in lieu of a volunteer board. Section 162.03 directly contemplates enforcement by a special magistrate Specifies that any special magistrate "shall have the same status as an enforcement board under this chapter" and notes that most references within the act to an enforcement board shall be considered to apply to a special magistrate, context permitting.? As with many elements of the drafting process, the simplest method for assignment of powers to the special magistrate will be to simply reiterate the powers set forth in Ch. 162 for code enforcement boards, with appropriate references to the magistrate instead. It is a fortunate local government that maintains an operational, effective, and well -perceived code enforcement board. Such a board creates a public perception of fairness and competence for the local government and may save taxpayer funds. Too often, however, these volunteer boards become plagued by problems with attendance, bias, or inefficiency Further, §162.05(e) includes mandatory disqualification of code board members who miss two of three meetings without statutory justification, which may lead to the board itself having insufficient membership to even call a meeting. Fla. Stat. §162.05(e) (2014) requires a local government to maintain separate legal counsel for its code enforcement board ("The local governing body attorney shall either be counsel to an enforcement board or shall represent the municipality or county by presenting cases before the enforcement board, but in no case shall the local governing body attorney serve in both capacities."). Fla. Stat. §162.03 (2014) ("Applicability. — (1) Each county or municipality may, at its option, create or abolish by ordinance local government code enforcement boards as provided herein. (2) A charter county, a non -charter county, or a municipality may, by ordinance, adopt an alternate code enforcement system that gives code enforcement boards or special magistrates designated by the local governing body, or both, the authority to hold hearings and assess fines against violators of the respective county or municipal codes and ordinances. A good reference point for qualifications can be found in Fla. Stat. §163.3215(f) (2014), which sets forth minimum qualifications for special masters used in certain quasi-judicial land development decisions. Per §163.3215(f), the magistrate must be an "impartial special master who is an attorney who has at least five years' experience and who shall, at the conclusion of the hearing, recommend written findings of fact and conclusions of law. The special master shall have the power to swear witnesses and take their testimony under oath, to issue subpoenas and other orders regarding the conduct of the proceedings... 10 Okeechobee News May 20, 2018 City Council hears midyear budget review By Matteo Tuilllo Okeechobee News The Okeechobee City Council dis- cussed the 2017-2018 budget midyear review as well as possibly appointing a magistrate in lieu of the Code Enforce- ment Board at the Tuesday, May 15, reg- ular meeting. The council was presented the 2017- 2018 mid -year budget review by Finance Director India Riedel. Overall revenues are higher than last year's receipts to date. City Administrator Marcos Monies De Oca said: "Overall at midyear the city is in a very good financial position. Although we had to increase our expenditures with proj- ects, such as the school resource pro- gram, we have had offsetting revenues as well. Currently at midyear, we are almost 7 percent under our current budgets. Operation budget is as expected with a few exceptions based on increased need. A proposed budget amendment, which was approved immediately following the budget review presentation, changed the fiscal year ending fund balance from $3,791,159 to $3,732,032, a difference of $59,127, to adjust for the state -mandated School Resource Officer requirement." Okeechobee Mayor Dowling R. Wat- ford Jr. presented a certificate to Leah Suarez, project coordinator for the Okeechobee County School District Chil- dren's Mental Health System of Care proj- ect, and Kelly Chapman, clinical director of Hibiscus Children's Center, proclaim- ing the month of May as "Mental Health Awareness and Trauma Informed Care Month." In an open public hearing, proposed Ordinance No. 1167 was approved, which reclassified about 1.06 acres west of Taylor Creek between Northeast l3th and 14th Streets from single-family resi- dential to commercial. In business actions at the Tuesday meeting: • The first reading of proposed Ordi- nance No. 1166 was approved, with a final public hearing date set for June 5, regarding the Abandonment of Right -Of - Way Petition No. 18-001-AC, submitted by Joy Kidwell of JMK of Okeechobee Inc., to vacate the 15-foot-wide alley that At the Tuesday night meeting, May 15, Okeechobee Mayor Dowling R.

Additionally, the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 1168 was ap- proved, with a final public hearing date set for June 5, regarding Rezoning Pell Lion No. 18-001-R, submitted by William H. Mason, to reclassify approximately 1,06 acres west of Taylor Creek between Northeast 13th and 14th Streets from sin- gle-family residential to light commercial. • The council's Final act of business was deliberating over a staff recommen- dation to replace the code enforcement board with a magistrate in its stead. Ad- ministrator Monies De Oca stated: "We at the city strive to be as cooperative as possible to our residents and would continue to do so with our code officer. The magistrate system, however, in lieu of the Code Board, as directed by the council, may be a more efficient alterna- tive means for enforcement and compli- ance." Council members instructed him to move forward with the proposal. NT ER R • EYE CARE ti & • • SURGERY d6, r S.
