(Planning Board recommends approval). b) Vote on motion to read by title. c) City Attorney to read proposed Ordinance No. 1168 by title only COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION -VOTE The Petition was unanimously recommended for approval by the Technical Review Committee (March 15, 2018 Meeting) and the Planning Board (April 19, 2018 Meeting) 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 (FLUM) and Heavy Commercial (CHV) 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. It will be a benefit to the City to remove the existing Alley, 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 all utility companies. Mr. Steven Dobbs of 1062 Jakes Way, Okeechobee, was present on behalf of the property owner to answer any questions. There being no questions or comments from the public or Staff, Mayor Watford called for a vote. VOTE: WATFORD — YEA CHANDLER — YEA CLARK — YEA RITTER — YEA MOTION CARRIED.

F DUNE 59 2018 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 5 OF 9 - II AGENDA II COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE II VIII. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED B.2.a) Motion to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1168. b) Public comments and discussion. Motion and second by Council Members Chandler and Ritter to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1168 Mr. Brisson explained the Planning Board reviewed Petition No. 18-001-R on April 19, 2018, and found it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report and unanimously recommended approval. The Planning Staff's findings are as follows: the proposed 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 FLUM. While the Petition does not identify the specific use to which the property will be used, the related FLUM Amendment Application No. 18-001-SSA, approved at the May 15, 2018 meeting, 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 Single Family on the FLUM and zoned RSF-1; 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 is not likely to create traffic congestion. However, with the entire area between Northeast 13th and 14th Streets from US Highway 441 (North Parrott Avenue) East to the subject property having already been zoned to CHV, the ability of Northeast 13th 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. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by any unnecessary restrictions. Mr. Dobbs was present on behalf of the Applicant and available to answer questions. Clerk Gamiotea noted there were seven notices mailed to surrounding property owners, one sign posted on the property, and it was published in the newspaper as required. The City has not received any correspondences or phone calls on the proposed rezoning. Mayor Watford asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public; there was none. Mr. Steven Dobbs was present on behalf of the Applicant. JUNE 2018 - REGULAR MEETING e PAGE 6 OF 9 317 AGENDA VIII.

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. It will be a benefit to the City to remove the existing alley 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 all utility companies. Public Comments — Steve Dobbs representing the client to answer any questions. Council - none. c) Vote on motion VOTE: WATFORD — YEA CHANDLER —YEA CLARK — YEA RITTER — YEA MOTION CARRIED.

Attorney Cook read proposed Ordinance No. 1166 by title only as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE BY REZONING A CERTAIN TRACT OF LAND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, FROM RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY - ONE TO LIGHT COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT (PETITION NO. 18-001-R); AMENDING THE ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE." 2.a) Motion to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1168. Motion and second by Council Members Chandler and Ritter to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1168. b) Public comments and discussion. The Planning Board reviewed Petition No. 18-001-R on April 19, 2018, and found it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report and unanimously recommended approval. Mr. Brisson - Planning Staff's findings are as follows: The proposed 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 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 13th and 14th Streets from US 441 (North Parrott Avenue) East to the subject property having already been zoned to CHV, the ability of Northeast 13th 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. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by any unnecessary restrictions. Steve Dobbs present to address questions by the applicant. Clerk Gamiotea noted there were 7 notices mailed to surrounding property owners, 1 sign(s) was posted on the property and it was published in the newspaper as required. The City has not received any correspondences or phone calls on the proposed rezoning. c) Vote on motion. VOTE: Page 4 of 7 WATFORD — YEA CHANDLER — YEA CLARK — YEA RITTER — YEA MOTION CARRIED.

Motion and second by Council Members ff) and fik to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1166. b) Public comments and discussion. Mayor Watford 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 13tn 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 13tn Street. The public benefits associated with the abandonment are, the existing alley is currently unused, and has no immediate or future use. It will be a benefit to the City to remove the existing alley 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 all utility companies. S�Dobft I rqresetn9CUa.4 c) Vote on motion VOTE: WATFORD — YEA CHANDLER — YEA CLARK — YEA BITTER —YEA ARRIE .

Attorney Cook read proposed Ordinance No. 1166 by title only as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE BY REZONING A CERTAIN TRACT OF LAND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, FROM RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY - ONE TO LIGHT COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT (PETITION NO. 18-001-R); AMENDING THE ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDED FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE." 2.a) Motion to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1168. Motion and second by Council Members NO and LAK to adopt proposed Ordindance No. 1168. b) Public comments and discussion. The Planning Board reviewed Petition No. 18-001-R on April 19, 2018, and found it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report and unanimously recommended approval. Planning Staff's findings are as follows: The proposed 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 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 13th and 14th Streets from US 441 (North Parrott Avenue) East to the subject property having already been zoned to CHV, the ability of Northeast 13th 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. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by any unnecessary restrictions. Page 5 of 13 VIII. PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE ADOPTION CONTINUED B.2.b) Public comments and discussion.

In addition to this Alley, Block 2 consists of 26 lots and a previous West to East Alleyway that was abandoned between Lots 1 to 10 and 18 to 26 on December 13, 2016. JMK of Okeechobee, Inc., owns Lots 11 through 14 of Block 2, Muzaffar Husain Trustee owns Lots 15 through 18 of Block 2, and 441 Palms LLC owns Lots 1 through 10 and 21 through 26 of Block 2. 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. Building Official: No issues were received. Fire Department: No issues were received. Chairperson Montes De Oca asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. Mr. Mark Goodbread, representative for the applicant, JMK of Okeechobee, Inc., was in attendance. He did not have any comments nor did the Committee have any questions. Chairperson Montes De Oca then asked TRC Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone regarding the Application or visited the site. 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: 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. TRC - March 15, 2018 - Page 2 of 3 Motion carried unanimously. VI. ADJOURNMENT- Chairperson. There being no further items on the Agenda, Chairperson Montes De Oca adjourned the Technical Review Committee meeting at 10:11 a.m. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE AND BE ADVISED that any person desiring to appeal any decision made by the Technical Review Committee with respect to any matter considered at this proceeding, such interested person will need a record of the proceedings, and for such purpose may need to ensure a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.

FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR GRANTING A REZONING OR CHANGE IN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (Sec. 70-340, LDR page CD70:16) It is the Applicant's responsibility to convince the Planning Board/LPA and City Council that approval of the proposed rezoning is justified. Specifically, the Applicant should provide in his/her application and presentation sufficient explanation and documentation to convince the reviewing bodies to find that: 1. The proposed rezoning is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. 5.

Mason Rezoning Petition No. 18-001-R Request 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. Current Future Land Use, Zoning and Existing Land Use Characteristics Future Land Use Category Zoning District Use of Property Acreage Existing Single -Family Residential RSF 1, Residential Single -Family Vacant 1.06 Acre Proposed Commercial CLT, Light Commercial Medical office building 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 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 L-K-, 2 planning Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: William H. 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. LaKu� ptanning 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 densitypattern 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. L-K"_ 4 ptanning Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: William H. Mason Petition No. 18-001-R 8. 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 13th 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. 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 9t), Street, for the proposed use of a medical office building. This being a quasi-judicial proceeding, Notary Public Patty Bumette 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 13r^ and 14t^ 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 _ PUBLIC HEARING — QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEM CONTINUED. 6. a) Consider a recommendation to the City Council to approve or deny Petition No. 18-001-R. Planning Staffs findings are as follows: The proposed 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 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 13t^ and 141h Streets from US 441 (North Parrott Avenue) East to the subject property having already been zoned to CHV, the ability of Northeast 13'th 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. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by any unnecessary restrictions. A motion and a second was offered by Members Jonassaint and Brass to recommend approval to the City Council for Rezoning Petition No. 18-001-R from RSF1 to CLT, on 1.06± unplatted acres located at 511 Northeast 90, Street, for the proposed use of a medical office building.

SECTION 2: Section 50-48, entitled 'Business Tax Exemptions for certain Veterans, their unmarried spouses or low income people" is created and enacted, to read: Section 50-48. Business Tax Exemptions for certain Veterans, their unmarried Spouses or low income people. (a) The following persons are entitled to an exemption from a business tax and any fees imposed under this chapter: (1) A Veteran of the United States Armed Forces who was honorably discharged upon separation from service, or the spouse or unremarried surviving spouse of such a Veteran. Ordinance No. 1169 Page 1 of 3 (2) The spouse of an active duty military service member who has relocated to the county or municipality pursuant to a permanent change of station order. (3) A person who is receiving public assistance as defined in Section 409.2554, Florida Statute. (4) A person whose household income is below 130 percent of the federal poverty level based on the current year's federal poverty guidelines. (b) A person must complete and sign, under penalty of perjury, a Request for Fee Exemption to be furnished by the City, and provide written documentation and identification in support of his or her request for an exemption under subsection (a). As the status of the applicant for exemption is subject to change for a person receiving public assistance; or whose income is below 130 percent of the federal poverty level; or who owns a business with less than 100 employees, or whether the spouse of a Veteran divorces the Veteran, or remarries after the death of the Veteran, the license holders in these categories must renew their exempt status annually when obtaining their license, by providing documentation that they still qualify for the exemption. (c) If a person who is exempt under subsection (a) owns a majority interest in a business with fewer than 100 employees, the business is exempt. Such person must complete and sign, under penalty of perjury, a Request for Fee Exemption to be furnished by the City and provide written documentation in support of his or her request for an exemption for the business under this subsection. Notwithstanding the provisions of the amendment of Chapter 205, Florida Statutes, a municipality that imposes a business tax on merchants which is measured by gross receipts from the sale of merchandise or services, or both, may continue to impose such tax and may, by ordinance, revise the definition of the term "merchant." However, the municipality may not revise the rate of the tax measured by gross sales. The following shall be acceptable identification for an applicant seeking Veterans exemption from the permit fees: (1) The word "Veteran" must be exhibited on the identification card of a Veteran, and the following additional forms of identification are acceptable: a. DD Form 214, issued by the United States Department of Defense; b. Veteran health identification card, issued by the United States Department of Veterans' Affairs; C. Veteran identification card, issued by the United States Department of Veterans' Affairs pursuant to the Veterans Identification Card Act of 2015, Pub. L. 114-31; or d. Other acceptable form specified by the Department of Veterans' Affairs. All local business taxes issued under this section shall be in the same general form as other state, county, or local business taxes and shall expire at the same time as such other local business taxes are fixed by law to expire. (d) All licenses obtained under the provisions of this section by an applicant's commission of fraud upon the issuing authority shall be deemed to be null and void, and shall be rescinded by the issuing authority. Any person who has fraudulently obtained any such license exemption, or who has fraudulently received any transfer of a license issued to another, and has thereafter engaged in any business or occupation requiring a license under the color thereof shall be subject to prosecution for engaging in a business or occupation without having the required license under the laws of the state. Ordinance No. 1169 Page 2 of 3 FA (e) In no event, under this ordinance or any other law, shall any person, veteran or otherwise, be allowed any exemption whatsoever from the payment of any amount required by law for the issuance of a license to sell intoxicating liquors, or malt, or vinous beverages. (f) The spouse or unmarried spouse of a deceased Veteran is subject to the same restrictions and penalties in this section. SECTION 3: Conflict. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. SECTION 4: Severability. If any provision or portion of this ordinance is declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void, unconstitutional, or unenforceable, then all remaining provisions and portions of this ordinance shall remain in full force and effect. SECTION 5: Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect July 1, 2018. INTRODUCED for First Reading and set for Final Public Hearing on this 5th day of June, 2018. Dowling R.

Watford, Jr., Mayor Ordinance No.1169 Page 3 of 3 4* CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, PuuLIC WORKS Exhibit 4 mJune 5, 2018 To: Marcos Montes De Oca, City Administrator From: David Allen, Public Works Director�� Date: 5/24/2018 Re: Police Department Roof Replacement The Public Works Department recommends awarding the contract for the replacement of the Police Department Roof to Southern Coatings Inc,in the amount of $97,777.00. The bid amount for the roof replacement is higher than originally anticipated but given the current conditions of the roofing market, the bid price is consistent with the very high demand for roofing services after hurricane Irma. Only three companies attended the mandatory pre -bid meeting and only one of the three, Close Construction is a local company. Prior to the pre -bid meeting, the other local companies that are registered with the City were contacted informing them of the project. Sothern Coatings Inc was the only company to submit a bid for the project. The other two companies that attended the pre -bid meeting were from the West Palm Beach and Pompano Beach area. Given the current market conditions, it is doubtful that we would be able to obtain a lower bid if we were re -bid the project at this time. The Police Department Roof has been delayed for several years, there were issues with the.roof five years ago when I carve to work for the City. The Public Works Department has made temporary repairs to the roof over the last few years. In inspecting the roof as part of the bid process, some soft areas that indicate problems with the underlying decking were discovered. Delaying the project would potentially result in continued deterioration of the decking which would increase the cost of the project later. Given the probability of issues with the underlying decking, the bid contract included pricing for deck replacement and other minor repairs to assure that the City would not be over charged if the additional services are discovered after the current roof is removed in the replacement process. Given that there is a possibility that there may be a need for the additional services, it would be wise to request a 10% contingency authorization be made by the City Council to allow us to authorize the additional work without having to return to the council for approval of a change order. 1 BID UNIT PRICE SCHEDULE PW 01-00-04-18 OKEECHOBEE POLICE DEPARTMENT ROOF REPLACEMENT SEGMENT UNIT NO.
