(2) Single Family homes are allowed under Section 90-12 (1) of the Land Development Code. (3) The Single Family use will not adversely affect the public interest. In fact, this request for RSF-1 is more compatible than the current CHV zoning. (4) The proposed use is appropriate for the location and is compatible with surrounding uses. (5) The proposed use and zoning will not adversely affect the property values or living conditions. (6) This can be suitably buffered from the surrounding areas.

Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant, presented the findings of the Planning Staff Report Analysis: (1) The proposed Single Family residence and RSF-1 zoning is not contrary to the Single - Family Future Land Use requirements. (2) Single Family homes are allowed under Section 90-12 (1) of the Land Development Code. (3) The Single Family use will not adversely affect the public interest. In fact, this request for RSF-1 is more compatible than the current CHV zoning. (4) The proposed use is appropriate for the location and is compatible with surrounding uses. (5) The proposed use and zoning will not adversely affect the property values or living conditions. (6) This can be suitably buffered from the surrounding areas. However, it is not required for such a low impact use. (7) The single family use will not overburden public facilities. (8) Naturally, the proposed RSF-1 zoning will be less intense than the current CHV zoning. As such, it appears that traffic, flooding or drainage will not be a problem. (9) The only restrictions imposed on the property are those set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code. (10) No special privileges will be granted to the owners that would contrast with the public welfare. Planning Staff Report Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request to allow rezoning from CHV to RSF-1 permitting the applicant to construct a single family home on the subject property. Planning Board recommended approval after discussing it at their October, 2005 meeting. c) Vote on motion. VOTE YEA NAY ABSTAIN ABSENT KIRK X CHANDLER X MARKHAM X WATFORD X Page -4- L.

Specifically lists each one. Same problems as last year, problems still was communication. Our communication internally was adequate, admin did wonderful job keeping us updated, but info to the public was not. See us appoint official spokesperson for the City of Okeechobee. Everything has to go through the EOC, when you watch or hear the media, always hear different mayors of different cities, or county administrator, hear different people speaking, appoint official spokesperson, particularly to communicate with the media, radio stations and tv, spoke briefly with lane on changing the recording system with the phones, then tactfully ask that that person be allowed to attend EOC briefings so they will have the most up to date information to send out to our citizens, Markham, getting gout information, sending it out to west palm since radio station down, oua gave generator, some of the info typing up to radio station wasn't getting out there correctly, so you want an Okeechobee person, do like west palm does and have councilman or mayor to send the information out Watford right, hear a voice that is familiar, Markham, that wouldn't be hard to do Dawn, Robbie Chartier, is being appointed at the county, hate to see you duplicate efforts. Markham, Robbie was sending it out but they were messing it up and we need to personalize it. Watford, never heard Gene on there, never an update, Gene was tied up and unable to call in. They want a voice, a person and if we duplicate efforts, I'm sorry, but we have to do something Markham, don't think your duplicating. Mayor, whether city or county as long as EOC info coming out Brian, also circumstances where the city may have more info than what is revealed at the EOC meetings Williams, watching and listening, school board, city, county, might be a duplication, but you need to get as much as info, you'll zone into the people you know, think we do need to have that appointed, you identify with those people. Mayor not a reflection on the county Watford, channel 5, lee Dixon called in, haven't spoken with anyone from okeechobee county, problem is gene has 10 million things to do, doesn't have time and energy to sit on the phones to get this out there, and it take time.

New Business. A. Consider amending Section 90, Division 5, Signs, of the City of Okeechobee Land Development Regulations specifically regarding Commercial and Industrial Sign Regulations - City Attorney. John Cook, City Attorney, briefly described the request. He explained that the proposed LDR Amendment concerning the Main Street Mural Guidelines was approved by the Land Planning Agency and went to the City Council for final approval. At that time Attorney Cook recognized that the City did not have anything specific in our Sign Regulations regarding murals in Commercial or Industrial Zoning Districts. Attorney Cook recommended that the City Council allow him to review proposed mural regulations for Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts with the Land Planning Agency. Attorney Cook explained that he would like to address murals, both historical and commercial, more specifically in our Code. He stated that requiring a permit to paint a mural could be a way to govern them. Agency Member Burroughs recommended looking at Lake Placid's Mural Regulations. Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant, explained that murals that are historical could be eliminated from the permit requirements; however, commercial advertising murals should follow sign regulations and obtain a permit. Agency Member McCoy questioned whether the proposal would be to maintain quality control, and keep the town looking nice. He also questioned if the new Ordinance would only apply to new murals, or if it would be retroactive to the existing murals. Attorney Cook explained that the proposal would allow the City to govern the murals, not allowing them everywhere. He stated that the proposed Ordinance would only apply to the new murals. Chairperson Ledferd recommended that the Design Review Board evaluate all proposed murals. Attorney Cook stated that it could cause an increased load on the Board. He also explained that the Board only meets on a monthly basis which could cause a delay in the development of the murals. Agency Member Whidden explained that due to small lot sizes some communities allow landscaping to be painted on the buildings which may be something to look into.

Consider amending Section 90, Division 5, Signs, of the City of Okeechobee Land Development Regulations specifically regarding Commercial and Industrial Sign Regulations, continued. Attorney Cook recommended that the Land Planning Agency table the Amendment so that he and Jim LaRue could obtain more information from surrounding communities. That would allow the Land Planning Agency to carefully consider the additional information at the November Land Planning Agency Meeting. Attorney Cook explained that he would request the City Council to remove proposed Ordinance 917 from the City Council Agenda on November 1, 2005 and request them to table it until the December 6, 2005 Meeting. There was no public comment; nor any discussion from the Agency.

The Single Family Future Land Use Category provides guidance as to what is considered appropriate development for the property. This request is consistent with the Single Family Category and would bring the zoning into compliance if granted. Analysis 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. No, the proposed Single Family residence and RSF-1 zoning is not contrary to the Single -Family Future Land Use requirements. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. Yes, Single Family homes are allowed under Section 90-12 (1) of the Land Development Code. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. No, the Single Family use will not adversely affect the public interest. In fact, this request for RSF-1 is more compatible than the current CHV zoning. 4.

The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. No, the proposed use and zoning will not adversely affect the property values or living conditions. 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 Yes, this can be suitably buffered from the surrounding areas. However, it is not required for such a low impact use. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. No, the single family use will not overburden public facilities. 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. Naturally, the proposed RSF-1 zoning will be less intense than the current CHV zoning. As such, it appears that traffic, flooding or drainage will not be a problem. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. No, the only restrictions imposed on the property are those set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code. 10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. No special privileges will be granted to the owners that would contrast with the public welfare. The proposed rezoning from CHV to RSF-1 is compatible with the surrounding uses and consistent with the Single Family Future Land Use Category. Staff Report • • Applicant: Bertha L.

In the past, licensed businesses were not allowed to do business in the park. To have a well rounded complement of vendors we needed to have licensed businesses, especially relative to food items. After much discussion, City Council approved our request. The Market will be held in Park #3, every Thursday for 4-7PM. It will begin on November 3"d. It will be a great shopping alternative as well as a relaxed meeting place. Mark your calendars!! We are sponsoring a Pet Costume Contest at the Fall Festival at the Agri -Civic Center on October 29`h. If you have a pet, sign them up! On November 291h we are holding a Holiday Celebration on Park Street. The street will be closed from 441 to Morgan's Furniture. The event starts at 7PM following the City's lighting ceremony at City Hall. All businesses and civic groups are invited to participate by being in the street celebrating the holiday season with music, food, Santa and lots of other stuff. We hope this will be the beginning of a long tradition. We need volunteers to help with the planning, and execution of these events. If you can give us some time please contact Lydia Jean. The next monthly general membership meeting will be Wednesday, October 261h, noon time, at the Brahma Bull Restaurant. Please try to attend so you can hear all the committee readouts about what each of them are doing. We also would like to get your input on where we are going and what we are. doing. See you there!

She thanked both the County and City again and they told us "keep up the good work!". New Business Terry was unavailable to present the 41h annual BBQ project plan but Maureen stated that we will be actively pursuing sponsorship much earlier than we have done in the past. More information will be forthcoming. Main Street is pursuing a weekly Green Market in Flagler Park. This will be organized like the ones in Vero, Fort Pierce and Stuart. A meeting is scheduled this afternoon with the City attorney to review the process required to allow licensed business owners to participate in this event in light of the Hamrick Trust limitations. Lydia Jean presented plans to participate in the County's Fall Festival. We are finalizing plans to have a pet costume contest during that event. She also presented plans for Main Street to continue the City's annual lighting ceremony at City Hall with a Main Street holiday celebration on SW Park Street. The entire street will be closed and there will be foods, music, clowns, Christmas carolers, retailers, etc. Everyone was highly supportive of that event.

The next Arts & Culture meeting is scheduled for 10-27-05 at 4:40 PM at the Main Street office if anyone is interested in attending. Maureen Burroughs discussed the Mural Guidelines that were presented and accepted by City Council. She discussed the first plan is for the south side of the CVS store to display a mural of the Old Southland Hotel. This will be a project managed by professional artists in conjunction with local student artists. We are still waiting final approval from CVS Corporation. John Abney suggested that we involve Anna Jane Osten since she has been involved in painting the hotel previously. Lydia Jean told us she present Rotary with an update on Main Street progress and is scheduled to present the same to Kiwanis in October. She is actively working on increasing our membership. She is building a database to track the businesses in the LPA and any movements within that area, e.g., new business coming in, any vacant rental spots, etc. She is adding pictures to our website and took a group picture today. Devin stated that contact has been made with CSX for the acquisition of the old train depot. He asked if City and County would sign a letter in support of that move and both agreed. The Brahma Bull Restaurant volunteered to host the mixer in January.

I expect as the market grows, I will solicit the vendors as well as the consumers, as to whether they want to continue the Market through the summer months. Vero, Abacoa, Stuart and Fort Pierce operate year round. Others in the Palm Beach area operate seasonally. I feel it is really the collective decision of the vendors as to whether they want to participate during the summer months. I am already scheduled on the Council's agenda for November 15' for our quarterly and year end report. I would be more than glad to address it before the Council. If there is anything else, please feel free to call me. Thank you.

Contractor to locate water line prior to any work in the FDOT right-of-way. Water line may need to be sleeved. Contractor to coordinate with OUA to meet necessary requirements. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL NOTES: Construction activities con result in the generation of significant levels of pollutants, which may reach surface and/or ground waters. One of the primary pollutants of surface waters is sediment in erosion. Excessive quantities of sediment reaching water bodies has been shown to adversely affect the physical, biological and chemical properties of receiving waters, Transported sediment can obstruct stream channels, reduce the hydraulic capacity, reduce the conveyance capacity of culverts and other conveyance facilites and adversely impact benthic invertebrate and fish species through siltation. Excessive suspended sediments reduce light penetration and therefore reduce primary productivity within these receiving systems. MINIMUM STANDARDS: 1. Sediment basins, perimeter berms, erosion control barriers and other measures, implemented to trap sediment transport, shall be constructed as the first step in any land disturbing activity and shall be made functional before any land disturbance takes place. 2. All sediment control measures ore to be adjusted to meet field conditions at the time of construction and be constructed prior to any grading or disturbance of existing surface material. Perimeter sediment barriers shall be constructed to prevent sediment or trash from flowing, floating or blowing onto adjacent properties. 3. Permanent or temporary soil stabilization shall be applied to denuded areas within seven days after final grade is reached on any portion of the site. Temporary soil stabilization shall be applied within seven days to denuded areas that may not be at final grade, but will remain undisturbed for longer than 30 days. Permanent stabilization shall be applied to areas that are to be left undisturbed for more than one year. 4. During construction of the project, soil stockpiles shall be stabilized or protected with sediment trapping measures. The applicant is responsible for the temporary protection and permanent stabilization of all stockpiles maintained on -Bite, as well as, soil intentionally transported from the site. 5. A permanent vegetative cover shall be established an denuded areas, not otherwise permanently stabilized. Permanent vegetation shall not be considered established until a ground cover is achieved that, in the opinion of the Reviewer, is uniform, mature enough to survive and will function to inhibit erosion. S. Stabilization measures shall be applied to earthen structures such as dams, perimeter berms, dikes and diversions immediately following installation. 7. Surface runoff from disturbed areas, that are comprised of flow from drainage areas greater than or equal to one acre, shall be controlled by a sediment basin. The sediment basin shall be designed and constructed to accommodate the anticipated sediment loading from the disturbed area. The outfall device or design shall take into account the total drainage ores flowing through the device from the disturbed area. 11.

As you know, all non -essential City personnel were off Monday and Tuesday. Speaking with Chief Davis the curfews were not a problem, imposed after midnight each day, expiring Thursday night. As with previous years, communication was a problem as WOKC was off the air following the storm. OUA water supply had the problems mentioned in previous communications but as of noon Thursday was being restored. Obviously there is a boil order in effect. Schools have been closed each day (to be open Monday), primarily due to the lack of water. Donated employee assistance from the Police and Fire Dept's for work at the Ag Center -Distribution Center. Agri -Center closes at 6:OOPM Friday. • Trick or treat festivities have been moved to Parks 3 and 4 Monday night in a safekeeping effort to keep the kids off the streets. Main Street has stepped up to coordinate the activity. As you know First Baptist is having their annual fail festival in park#6. Anyone who wishes to assist is more than welcome and can contact Main Street ... they need `bodies'. • Debris clean up is scheduled to start Monday in the SW section, we hope everyone has had a chance to move most of the stuff to the curb. We will have the contractor make another sweep in a week or so. • The most obvious damage to our City property is the recently installed lean to at the City barn. The metal roof peeled over the top of the building. Further a small old overhead door on the west side of the maintenance building was damaged. We had some water come in at City Hall and the Police Dept, but haven't determined roof damage. • Signs repair has started as of Thursday. • Overtime has been held to a minimum due to the nature of the storm arrival. But again, our employees responded with much enthusiasm, as if this is old hat. My hurricane merit badge is supposed to be mailed in 1 to 2 weeks... COD. Page 1 of 4 • I'm sure there are hundreds of `thank yous' that can be recognized. Sebring Grace Brethren Church congregation members came over and cleaned the City Parks. Southeast Milk deserves much credit for their assistance in providing water. Unfinished Business: • Please find the Legislative requests Resolution enclosed in the packet. I included 6 or 7 items that I tho't might be important but the matter is prepared for discussion at the meeting. On Nov 2"d the Legislative delegation will be here, apparently at the Courthouse to hear the Requests. Enclosed is an invitation to the Okeechobee County Legislative Luncheon-11/2/05 at 12:30PM at the 18t United Methodist Church. • Commerce Center - Working on Agreements w/ Atty and developing issues incl: Time constraints; Reversionary clause; Job creation prerequisites (as per EDA), land necessary for development; financial feasibility for the two successful applicants. Scheduled to meet w/ Travis Chambers and reps and Atty Cook on November 8t. • Tax Increment Finance District still sparks interest from Main Street and would urge the Council to let me know your thoughts. Main Street has offered to assist in feasibility including securing a consultant to render an opinion of initial eligibility. Please examine the literature distributed at a previous meeting and call me with questions. • Garbage Franchise A_preement — Received a draft of proposed Agreement (attached which incl the following points: 1. Tenn — to 9130110 (then 5 yrs at a time) 2. Customer fee in excess of 15 cu yds charged $11/cu yd 3. Additional carts @$10 and $50 for a resumption of service (delivery) 4. Annual CPI increases of fees, Quarterly adjustments of fees based on diesel fuel costs, 'change in law' adjustments 5. Force Majeure clause wherein an event that can't be controlled would suspend performance... i.e. Act of God' 6. Rates — are not included herein, however, the current residential customer rate is about $11.43/month and Mr. Sabin has indicated that Waste Management is looking at a $5.00 increase. He said that commercial rates would remain the same. According to my calculations, Waste collects about $238,500 in residential and $160, 000 in commercial fees. The City collects about $26, 500 and $16, 000 respectively. Mr. Sabin will be coming to a future City Council Meeting to make a proposal. Other Issues by Deot: Finance: • After interviewing six applicants, have selected India Riedel, 1676 NE 540' Tr., as the new Finance Acct Supervisor to replace Lola who is telling me that she plans on staying until November 17th. India's first day of employment is November 7*'. Page 2 of 4 r Fire: • Union: Atty Cook, Chief Smith and / met with Union - IAFF (Int'I Assoc of Fire Fighters) 9th District VP Jim Tolley, local VP Glen Hodges on Sept 23' Was presented with a 14 pg draft of issues, most of which is simply reducing current procedure to writing. Have assigned the Chief the job of differentiating what is being requested with what is now in place and will report back to you accordingly. Chief Smith has mad some notes to the draft and forwarded same to me for review. • Engine #6 has incurred some hydraulic maintenance issues along with alternator. • As Code Enforcement Officer Chief Smith has secured some samples of other town's animal control issues. We will be trying to review those to find applicability to Okeechobee. General Services: • Brentwood Estates replatting is moving along, but I still have issues regarding the surface water problem. Last Wed. Oscar, Donnie and I were on the site and took a few pictures of the problem which has been forwarded to Loris Asmussen, Eng., and to SFWMD for their review. I have copied one picture for your review and attached it hereto with a view from the road inside the subdivision. • Reported that I received a proposal from Jim LaRue for increased fees associated with increased workload. Then I received additional bad news in as much as Mr. LaRue has submitted a letter advising that the firm will no longer provide 'Staff Reports' for the Tech Review Board, nor attend the meeting. A brief history of the firm's fees reflects a '99 Agreement-$2125 (25 hrs/mo), '03- $3500 (not to exceed), and now, $3500+ billed for excess above 40hrs a month. The proposal calls for an effective date of October 1st. I believe Mr. LaRue is doing a fine job and we have no staff problems related to performance. Engineer Bermudez and I have met with one possible a/temate and that may work out. My plan is to incorporate the new building official into the TRC process and go from there, addressing Mr. LaRue's increased fee structure. Mr. LaRue has agreed to go month to month until such time that a new Building Official can be put in place. 1 received an invoice for September for $4, 800, $1300 over the 'not to exceed' In this transitional period I advocated that we pay the invoice in order to keep his services. Legal: • Contract for legal services for Attomey Cook was approved at the last meeting and John was to investigate the cost of Professional Liability Insurance. • Raulerson Case: Nothing new to report • Marvin Brantley continues with clean up at his location on S 441. You remember that Mr. Brantley has until November 16"' for cleanup compliance. I only received one quote for clean up contracting... P & H Services, Okeechobee. • Some time ago (and as a matter of bringing you up to date) Atty Cook and i discussed the use of a `Magistrate' process to expedite Code (nuisance) Page 3 of 4 compliance issues vs. the Code Enforcement process. It would be considerably less cumbersome with certainly, in my opinion, much more efficiency. Will keep you informed as to any serious discussion. Public Works: • Alley Closing Policy continues to be discussed among staff.../eft over from discussion on aV05 meeting. • Street Overlay Proiect— Should be in a position to advertise about 11/1/05, open bids in Dec, award in Jan w/ Notice to Proceed by the end of January. • Baffle Box that was to be installed on SE 4cn St at the boat launch apparently is back on the 'docket'. We received a letter from DEP advising that the 05-06 General Appropriations Act provides funding for Okeechobee for a surface water projects up to $100,000. We have met with Dale Militia, CAS, and staff and are making application for that funding to be applied to the sediment trap (baffle box) project. • Baffle Boxes funded by SFWMD include two locations that will be scarfed in the next month or so. 1 have attached a copy of the map locations, both in the NE part of town, and typical profile of the box. Managed to place one of the boxes (NE r Av and 5th St) but have some work left to do before operational installation is complete. Police: • Union — I have enclosed the most recent communication from the Florida Police Benevolent Assoc (FPBA) through the Florida Public Employees Relations Commission. The Police Dept employees will no doubt soon be given the opportunity to join by vote if exceeding 51 % in favor. • Included in the 9/7/05 Council Mtg packets was information on train whistle nuisance alternative. The vendor has contacted me and indicated his schedule is full for the next month or so, will be contacting me thereafter. • Met with County Board Ch. John Abney and Admin George Long about the County's endeavor to build a new Emergency Management office that will house the County's emergency radio dispatching. They have given this matter much study and have invited the City to participate if there's an interest. i haven't identified what 'economies' we could realize, but 1 have spoken to Chief Davis and naturally there's a tenitorial attitude. There was further discussion about the County's effort to better the radio service and 1 told them that the cost was prohibitive without grant contribution or piecemeal approach. Awards: • Robin Brocic is humbly willing to accept, among others, the coveted five- year service award. She is trying to determine if the five-year service award necessitates a speech ... I guess we'll see at the meeting.
