Category entitled, "Residential Mixed Use (RMU)." Intended to accommodate and provide flexibility for development of multiple uses within a residential setting. In order for land to be considered for this designation, land requested to be placed in this category shall be a minimum of 50 acres. Development within this category would be allowed to be no more than seven and one-half (7.5) gross dwelling units per acre. Land developed within this Residential Mixed Use Category must adhere to the following innovative design and planning principles.1. All new development within the Residential Mixed Use Category shall be required to be zoned as a Planned Development or Planned Unit Development (PUD). 2. Development within this Residential Mixed Use Category will be required to cluster in order to maximize open space and natural areas. Development within the Residential Mixed Use Category is permitted to be clustered at higher than gross density as long as the gross density is not exceeded for the total acreage within the Residential Mixed Use Category. 3. Development within the Residential Mixed Use Category is encouraged to provide a mix of uses, including a mix of residential types, recreational amenities, civic spaces and convenience and commercial uses intended to serve residents and their guests in order to minimize trips outside the Residential Mixed Use Category. 4. Development is encouraged to provide creative site designs, and clustering is required to provide for greater common open space and mixed -use development. The planning flexibility provided through the planned the planned development process shall encourage and facilitate creative design techniques. a. Residential Development. These areas shall include single and/or multiple family home site acreage, and shall include, but not be limited to, single-family attached and detached; duplexes and two-family units; and town homes and other multi- family dwelling types. b.

The owners will employ management strategies in and around any golf course to address the potential for pesticide/chemical pollution of the groundwater and surface water receiving areas. The management practices will include: I. The use of slow release fertilizers and/or carefully managed fertilizer applications which are timed to ensure maximum root uptake and minimal surface water runoff or leaching to the groundwater; ii. The practice of integrated pest management when seeking to control various pests, such as weeds, insects and nematodes. 59!4 AUGUST 1, 2006 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 17 VII.

Hackl; seconded by Council Member Chandler. - City Planning Consultant (Exhibit 2). 11 Mr. LaRue briefly reviewed the application which is requesting to change 16.24 acres that is unplatted and vacant located along the North side of East North Park Street from Single Family to Commercial. The application was submitted by the property owner, H2O Holdings, LLC. Mr. Craig Hackl is the president of the company, along with his father, Mr. Don Hackl. Both were present at the meeting. The two parcels (known as Parcel A and B) are larger than 16.24 acres. However the front portion of the property is already designated commercial, therefore only the portions designated as single family has to be addressed in the application. Since the property is over the 10-acre requirement, it has be to addressed through a Large Scale Map Amendment. The owners have conveyed that they are wanting to make their property more marketable to a large retail developer in order to bring additional revenue into the City. Originally Planning Staff did not recommend approval of the application due to unanswered questions surrounding the property of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses and Concurrency of adequate public facilities. The Planning Board, as the City's Local Planning Agency reviewed the application at the May 23, 2006 meeting. Their recommendation was for approval with the condition that all additional documentation and data be submitted by the Transmittal Hearing before the City Council. Mr. Jeff Sumner of LBFH, Inc., A Boyle Engineering Company submitted supporting data to Mr. LaRue and the Council prior to the hearing. He also distributed a revised site plan. Following a brief overview of the project by Mr. Sumner, the Council asked whether or not the documentation provided by LBFH was sufficient for Mr. LaRue? He replied yes, and he was comfortable with it, and that the application can move forward with the recommendation of approval from the Planning Board. He will revise the Planning Staff report appropriately, which will accompany the application to DCA. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford thanked the applicant for providing the additional information efficiently. Council Member Markham's concern was the stormwater ditch and the added discharge into Taylor Creek. Mr. Sumner remarked that the impact of the proposed project will not have a greater effect than what is already being discharged at the present time. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford asked whether the OUA has the available capacity for this project and also will they tie into the lift station at River Run Resort (Mobile Home Park located to the West)? Mr. Sumner responded that they will either have to improve that lift station or construct their own that would tie into the system elsewhere. AUGUST 1, 2006 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 8 OF 17 VII. PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE 1-2006 CONTINUED. B. Motion to approve for transmittal Large Scale Future Land Use Map Mayor Pre-Tem Watford observed from the revised site plan that the traffic signal already in operation on East North Amendment Application No. 06-CI-001 submitted by Craig M. Hackl Park Street (State Road 70 East) will be used for the entrance to the development. He commended the applicant on continued. that choice and then briefly discussed the traffic analysis. According to the report by the year 2009 State Road 70 and U.S. Highway 441 is projected to exceed the level of service thresholds, with or without the project. Mr. LaRue referenced page 11 of the LBFH Supplement Information Report in that the recommendations could be noted to be paid by the developer and added to the Capital Improvements Element amendments as well. Mr. Sumner responded, the developer understands and anticipates they will have to cover all the costs of improvements once they get into the development stage of the project. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. Mr. Don Hackl addressed the Council by stating that he just arrived in Okeechobee, flying in from Chicago. He wanted to personally thank City Clerk Gamiotea, Planner LaRue, and City Staff members for their assistance and guidance through this procedure, they go above and beyond to help. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford thanked Mr. Hackl for his comments, noting that it was nice to hear positive remarks about Staff. VOTE KIRK - ABSENT MARKHAM - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA CHANDLER - YEA WATFORD - YEA MOTION CARRIED. C. Motion to approve for transmittal Large Scale Future Land Use Map Council Member Chandler moved to approve for transmittal Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application Amendment Application No. 06-CI-002 submitted by CBC No. 06-CI-002 submitted by CBC Management Corporation; seconded by Council Member Williams. 11 Management Corporation - City Planning Consultant (Exhibit 3). This application was submitted by CBC Management Corp., on behalf of the property owner, FrankAltobello. Mr. Chris Close is the president of CBC Management. The application is requesting to change the land use from Single Family Residential to Multi -Family Residential on 32.97 acres of unplatted, vacate land located East of South Parrott Avenue (U.S. Highway 441) and West of Taylor Creek. The parcel may increase to 37.4 acres once the Taylor Creek Right -of - Way is abandoned. The applicant is in the market to purchase the property along with additional surrounding parcels to develop a "fishing village" using mixed forms of single family and multi -family residences along with a marina, ship's store, limited retail/offices and common areas (such as community pool, a clubhouse, a playground, walking/biking nature trails overlooking the wetland areas). This type of development is known as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). AUGUST 1, 2006. - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 9 OF 1-59 9 VII. PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE 1-2006 CONTINUED. C. Motion to approve for transmittal Large Scale Future Land Use Map The Planning Staff originally did not recommend approval of the application due to lack of information regarding the Amendment Application No. 06-CI-002 submitted by CBC proposed project, concerns of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Traffic Impacts as well as other public Management Corporation continued. facilities adequately. The applicants consulting firm, Lucido and Associates addressed the majority of Mr. LaRue's concerns at the May 23, 2006 Planning Board meeting. The Planning Board recommended approval with the condition that the applicant provide a maximum residential unit count for the anticipated project, which was still one of Mr. LaRue's unanswered questions. Provided in Exhibit Three is a letter from Mr. Mark Mathes, Planning Director with Lucido and Associates, submitting that "...we do not anticipate any more than 296 residential units as port of any future development approval. This level of development is much less than what would be allowed according to the maximum development allowances of the requested multi -family residential future land use category. Under this category, we would be allowed up to 374 units over the 37.4 acres." Mr. LaRue noted that while the applicant has presented some additional environmental back-up since the original staff report, there are still concerns that the wetlands on the property need to be renourished and the larger area protected. It should be agreed to place the most significant wetland areas in the Conservation Future Land Use Category. Planning Staff is also recommending that this application request be changed to the newly created RMU category which would solve two problems. One, allow a density involving a mix of housing products but having a cap of less than 10 units an acre for the whole parcel. Two, a mixed use category accommodates commercial uses which multi- family does not. Following a brief discussion regarding the "pros and cons" of changing the applications, Mr. Mathes remarked that he agreed with Mr. LaRue in regards to the Residential Mixed Use Category, but it was not available at the time the application was prepared. He then proceeded to explain the concept of `Taylor Creek Fishing Village," the project will benefit the environment as well as the ecosystem and help with the restoration of Taylor Creek. Mr. Mathes stated that there are more positive advantages with the RMU designation and the applicant would be supportive of Mr. LaRue's recommendation to change from Multi -Family to Residential Mixed Use. Mayor Pro -Tern Watford asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. There were none. Council Member Williams moved to amend the motion to approve for transmittal Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-CI-002 submitted by CBC Management Corporation to change the designation from Multi -Family Residential to the newly created Residential Mixed Use; seconded by Council Member Markham.

Bradley. 2004/2005 Fiscal Year audit. It has been an interesting year with the change of employees with Lola Parker leaving and India Riedel taking her position. Mrs. Riedel has done a great job. Findings were of limited significance. Two of the three items significance noted from last year's report have been corrected. Those items being: Internal Control Over Financial Report 04-2; Filing of Annual Financial Audit Report; and Management Letter, Records Maintenance and Report Filing; The item that was repeated was 04-1 Reconciliation of Consultant Provided Information to Accounting Records under Internal Control over Financial Report. 606 AUGUST 1, 2006 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 16 OF 17 IX. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. B. Discussion pertaining to the2005 Financial Statements and Audit, This year report noted three new matters. 1. Fixed Asset Software. The GASB 34 financial statement presentation prepared by Hoyman, Dobson & Company continued. requires fixed assets to be recorded along with the related depreciation in the government wide financial statements. Granting agencies require fixed assets purchased with federal funds to be identified and tracked. We are recommending the City obtain computer software specifically designed to track fixed assets and to calculate depreciation. 2. Credit Card Policy. The City is responsible for providing policies for employees to follow in order to safeguard and prudently mange the City's assets. We recommend the City implement a comprehensive credit card policy that complements the existing travel policy; We further recommend prompt payment of credit card bills and that the employees be required to reimburse the City for any non -approved charges. 3. Budget Responsibility. The City is responsible for adhering to approved budgets and budget amendment sand must be approved by the City Council We recommend that the City perform periodic reviews for variances between actual and budgeted results and document the variances. If the investigation of budget variances suggest that the budget is inaccurate, or if the business conditions vary from expectations, the budget should be revised to reflect current conditions or more reasonable estimate. Such a practice make the City better able to account for unexpected expenditures which may arise as a result fo journal entries identified by management more than 60 days after fiscal year end, or by adjusting journal entries identified as part of the annual audit. Ms. Bradley reported that the City is financially sound. A big issue noted in the budget is that the City received a considerable amount of funding from FEMA reimbursements and they were recorded as revenue, and should not have been. The proper recording of these funds has been reviewed with Staff. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford thanked Ms. Bradley for her presentation. He remarked that it was good to see we are in better shape than anticipated. Also he questioned the Net Pension Obligation and should we be concerned? Ms. Bradley suggested the Council talk with an actuary, that this could be a potential liability in the future. Council Markham moved to accept the 2004-2005 Fiscal Year Financial Statements and Audit as presented and prepared by Hoyman, Dobson and Company; seconded by Council Member Williams.

MAYOR PRO-TEM WATFORD OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR A CYCLE 1-2006 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR TRANSMITTAL TO DCA AT 6:06 P.M. A. Council Member Chandler moved to approve Narrative (Text) Amendments to the Future Land Use Element, Conservation Element and Capital Improvements Element - City Planning Consultant (Exhibit 1); seconded by Council Member Williams. The proposed text (or narrative) amendments to the Comprehensive Plan were first distributed for Planning Board review at the May 23, 2006 meeting and were approved for recommendation to City Council at the July 20, 2006 meeting. The City may review and submit to DCA, amendments twice a year. These are the first amendments for 2006, and are as follows: To improve the water quality of Taylor creek, the City should investigate setting limits as to the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus that can be discharged into the Creek. The City shall consider whether a high standard for water quality would require new development stormwater treatment systems to be designed using a treatment train approach, using multiple Best Management Practices in series, to ensure maximum potential treatment of stormwater. The City shall require future developments to employ the provisions of the Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program. The Board questioned where this program came from and who operates it? Mr. LaRue explained that this is an actual program, managed by a non-profit organization. We are only asking they follow the guidelines, we are not making them mandatory. The City shall require periodic updates of the current wellfield protection ordinance. The next Amendments were regarding the Capital Improvements Element. The City is revising the Capital Improvements Element by creating a 5-year plan. The information was obtained from the City Administrator. The following are the Total Budget projections by Fiscal Year, for the amendment, these costs include but are not limited to, hardware and software computer upgrades for all City Departments; Handicap Accessability to City Hall; Records Storage Facility; a training tower for the Fire Department; annual street improvements and expansions of the annual project; a sidewalk installation project; storm water master drainage system; canal cleanup programs; and city vehicle leasing/purchase program. Fiscal Year Total Budget Project 2005/2006 $ 593,100.00 2006/2007 $2,247,000.00 2007/2008 $ 613,790.00 2008/2009 $ 690,800.00 2009/2010 $ 529,000.00 2010/2011 $ 739,000.00 Mr. Jim LaRue, process most are familiar with, many seen, future land use less 10 ac, small scale, change comp plan language policies within the elements along with large scale map amendment, over 10 ac, then they fall into the large scale category. Future land use element, categories within and we do not have a mixed type area saying to DCA mixed use residential area, particular case minimum of 50 ac and can go down to 30 acres total amount of parcels, not talking about mixed with house next to commercial, more uses that would allow a total mixed use with commercial, homes, apartments, recreational uses, that would be allowed within this, open space that would be allowed, page 3 table to show, natural buffer areas, some wetland areas, hiking trails, golf courses and the use of fertilizers uses as well, zoning follows land use, within a PUD zoning only Page -3- approved as a planned development unit, have to show plus economic impact to the city as well instead of a negative impact. Capital improvements element have to show in the infrastructure, main part tha twe talked about, changes or modification can be done after dca approves it. Right now you do not have the flexability for this type of development. Watford - get into captial? LaRue, Yes. But want to address one element on a time. Future Land Use: questions from the public? None. Lowry, on a mixed residential multi family single family commerical in one area. Yes in area designated mixed, mobile home? No comp plan only provides for mobile homes to be in mobile home parks only. Dowling, do we need to discuss min acres? 50 here could be 30 do we need to adjust this ? I would say lowest to allow it to be, don't think you want to get lower than that, we have application tonight that is over 30 acres and then add other parcels they have next to it that will put them to almost 50 acres. Watford, Will be zoned as a planned unit development. LaRue they can only request PUD zoning in a mixed residential land use. Then developer is tied to that plan, give us protection and gives them the committment from the city. Lowry, multi family 10 units per acre, LaRue I am suggesting less than that, And DCA might want tell us we need a max and a min Lowry, 7.5 units per acre gross for total acreage, cant put them on the wetland but the gross works out with the net area. Noel more than 50 acres more commerical different types of commercial in the larger and that is done through the zoning. Conservation element, in comp plan, pg 3 objective 6, areas on the taylor creek one o fthe things working on possibility max loadings of nit in water, city investigate what agencies should be investigating that, we do not have the staff to do that, which is why it is worded that way, water quality neg aspects of it talk in terms when development, best management practices, different types of treatment before it is released into the creek, done work with the county, two water managements, st johns reference will come out since it does not effect any the city, page 4 top, full policy 6.3: TDR right to go to contiguous parcel they would own, says were going to look at that, where sending verses whose receiving them, we may consider numberal standard lead of dep or sfwmd, we are not putting ourselves in the way to do ourselves, policy 6.6. and 6.7 have to do any way, subject to water management rules and fl admin rules that would be appropriate, sfwmd, 6.8 grant incentives, old system not working properly allow us to go for grant to assist that facilit, 6.11 well field protection, water quality and b est managment practices Florida yards and nieghborhood may be appropriate for us to look at adopting DCA likes to see changes like these, very careful with these if you can have an agency do these for you that is how they were worded, always protection of taylor creek in plan some positive strides, perhaps make a Ittle better a lot is mandated over dep or water maangement, noel whose going to clean up county water before it gets to us? Watford study we're suppose to be doing should address the quality as well. LaRue, share with the county these areas that you are adopting lowry as long as we police our own subdivisons we're work with that but hard to control the county's larue through intergovernmental coordination coudl address areas of mutual concern. Page -4- Capital Improvements Element - submit but will probably change as you go through the budget process, computer hardware no interested in, but are in public works, parks, street, population impacts, sidewalk replacements, storm water, tangable projects, have 5 year program to get these things down, giving projects with finance, revenue projections, legends from revenue sources have to be on there as well, grants, tax revenue, gas tax, these cannot be a wish list they have to be real attainable projects and show where the money will come from do those projects.

Council Member Markham moved to amend the motion to change the minimum 50 acres to 30 acres and delete any reference to the St Johns Water Management District within the amendments; seconded by Council Mmber Williams.

WILLIAMS X MOTION: CARRIED AS AMENDED. B. Council Member Williams moved to approve for transmittal Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-CI-001 submitted by Craig M. Hackl - City Planning Consultant (Exhibit 2); seconded by Council Member Chandler. Mr. Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant addressed the Council by reviewing the Revised Planning Staff Report contents and not recommending approval based on the following: Comprehensive Plan Analysis: A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. The Comprehensive Plan describes the Commercial Future Land Use category in the Future Land Use Element. It states: Policy 2.1(c): Commercial. Permitted uses include office, retail, automotive, wholesale, and related Commercial activities. Also permitted are public facilities. Commercial development shall not exceed a floor area ratio of 3.00 and the maximum impervious surface for development within this category shall not exceed 85% of the site. Under the proposed Commercial Future Land Use category, the applicant would be allowed to develop the subject property with the Retail/Commercial uses. However, there is more data necessary to be shown illustrating that this presently designated residential area should become an intensive retail high impact location. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the proposed impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided by the applicant, this data is required. The existing capacity of the water supply plant is 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The applicant would need to submit a letter to the City which discusses the anticipated flow for the development and that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development. There should also be a deduction of water use for already approved developments because the cumulative impact has not been contemplated if all approved developments are built. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/ capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property would be cannot be determined at this time. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 Page -5- MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a minimum of 300,000 GPD of excess capacity. The OUA has stated that plans are underway to construct an addition to the plant which will permit an additional 3 MGD. This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008. The applicant would need to verify that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development. Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 Ibs/capita/day and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The impacts of the proposed development will be minimal as the uses will be Commercial in nature. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code. There should be at least a conceptual understanding of how stormwater discharge will be handled for what is obviously going to be the creation of impervious areas. Recreation and Open Space: The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is Commercial in nature and is not expected to impact parks. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. The subject property is serviced by SR 70. The applicant has not provided a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed Development would impact the surrounding roadway network. Objective 9 and its corresponding policies (Traffic Circulation Element) states: Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future level of service standard deterioration, particularly along US Highway 441 and SR 70. Policy 9.1: To assist in improving level of service standards, Commercial redevelopment efforts shall be prioritized to mitigate existing "strip" Commercial sites. Policy 9.2: Access points to Commercial centers shall be limited, where feasible, to decrease traffic congestions along City arterials and other roadways. Policy 9.3: Efforts shall be made, where appropriate, to separate local traffic from through traffic in Commercial areas. The applicant must submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates that the above polices will be met and that the Level of Service would not be degraded for the surrounding roads. Such analysis should include the anticipated trips from the Commercial property to the east. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed change to Commercial has been stated by the applicant that it would not negatively impact surrounding properties. The proposed type of Commercial uses and usage of buffers should be demonstrated before compatibility can be assumed. D. Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies (as they are intended) in the Comprehensive Plan would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Commercial if compatibility, acceptable impacts on traffic, sewer, water and overall fiscal feasibility resulting from this re -designation, can be shown by supporting data and analysis. On May 23, 2006, the Land Planning Agency recommended for approval of the applicant's request contingent upon the applicant providing the following additional information before the August 1, 2006 City Council transmittal meeting. Potable Water Issue: The anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided. We need a determination of how much potable water the entire site is expected to demand. Submit a letter to the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) to determine whether the OUA will have the capacity to serve the proposed development. The response should take into consideration the existing capacity of the water supply plant, how much is already committed to use, and a cumulative impact for already approved development. Wastewater Issue: The anticipated flow for wastewater has not been determined. As with the potable water issue, a determination of wastewater flows should be given to the OUA. As you know, the excess capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is less than 300,000 gallons per day (GPD), but until the expansion to the plant is completed we need to know if the OUA will have the capacity to handle your commercial development. Drainage/Stormwater Management Issue: Because of the amount of impervious areas which is customary with commercial uses, we need an idea of how stormwater discharge will be handled on the site. Drainage plans can be submitted during the site plan review phase of development, but for now we need a statement which will discuss, for example, possible detention areas, connecting culverts or outfall structures which will manage surface water on the site. Traffic Issue: We also requested that you submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed development would impact the surrounding roadway network. The study must contain quantitative Page -6- analysis dealing with the impacts of the proposed commercial development throughout the short-term planning timeframe (5-years) and the long term planning timeframe (10-years). It is suggested that this be done for the roadway segments within a 3-mile radius of the subject property. In addition, the analysis must take into consideration the adopted level of service (LOS) standard for the surrounding roads, especially SR 70, and how the proposed development will impact the LOS. LBFH report does suffice for additional requirements?. Yes, and application can go forward. Jeff Sumner, appreciate time, distributed revised site plan Lowry, taylor creek discharge and relation to it, cannot discharge, held to that basin criteria, in no case can it be discharged than what is discharged into it. Topo site discharges and some sheet flows and we'll make sure it doesn't impact neighbors. Watfrod, OUA do have or will have capacity for this, cant do project like this without that letter, collection of is there but capacity to treat, time schedules are workable, lift stations at river run improvements required there, construction own and tie in elsewhere, entrance light already, Have some questions, may be in here just got this today, traffic, section 4, page 4 page 7 top graph page 8 top graph annual average daily trips AADT LaRue - pg 11 recommendations could be noted to be paid by developer and added to the capital improvement element.

VOTE YEA NAY ABSTAIN ABSENT KIRK X CHANDLER X MARKHAM X WATFORD X WILLIAMS X MOTION: CARRIED. C. Council Member Chandler moved to approve for transmittal Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-CI-002 submitted by CBC Management Corporation - City Planning Consultant (Exhibit 3); seconded by Council Member Williams. Mr. Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant addressed the Council by reviewing the Planning Staff Report contents not recommending approval based on the following: Tape 2 side A Comprehensive Plan Analysis: A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. This Large Scale Plan Amendment application speaks about a mixed -use development but there is little data explaining and supporting this approach or justifying the request of Multi -Family Residential for the entire parcel. Objective 2: The City of Okeechobee will ensure that all new development is consistent with the Future Land Use Element. Policy 2.1: The following land use designations are established for the purpose of managing future Page -7- growth: (b) Multi -family Residential. Permitted uses include apartments, duplexes, condominiums, single-family houses and public facilities. Maximum density shall not exceed 10 units per acre. Where affordable housing is provided in accordance with Housing Policy 1.6, the maximum density for multi -family development shall be 11 units per acre. As submitted, the application and supporting documentation is insufficient to support the change from Single Family to Multi -Family. Given its proximity to Taylor Creek, the Comprehensive Plan states that the City must protect environmentally sensitive areas from high density development such as what can be built under the Multi -Family Future Land Use category by the applicant. Because of the property's proximity to Taylor Creek, Policy 7.2 of the Comprehensive Plan must be adhered to and the applicant hasn't given supporting evidence of that. The inclusion of a Marina with 96 slips and a fuel dock has also not been assessed with regard to this Policy. Policy 7.2: The City shall continue to protect environmentally sensitive areas from development of a type and intensity which would disrupt their natural functions. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the proposed realistic impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The below is the anticipated flow for the proposed 320 units is expected to be approximately 95,000 GPD. The existing capacity of the surface and ground water supply plants are 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development but recent approvals have not been considered in this assessment of remaining water capacity. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/ capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). The estimated wastewater flows for the subject property would be 95,000 GPD. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a minimum of 300,000 GPD of excess capacity. The OUA has stated that plans are underway to construct an addition to the plant which will permit an additional 3 MGD. It should be noted that the City has received several recent Plan Amendments counting on future sewer plant expansion. A better analysis showing committed service needs to be shown. Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 Ibs/capita/day and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would generate approximately 12,350 Ibs/day of solid waste. The applicant must provide a letter from Okeechobee County determining whether the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code. Because of the vulnerability of Taylor Creek, there needs to be a more specific delineation of the Best Management Practices used for water quality enhancement in stormwater discharges. Recreation and Open Space: The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's population by approximately 950 additional people. The development would need approximately 3 acres of recreational facilities in order to meet the adopted LOS for parks. The applicant has stated that this would be met with the provision of on -site facilities, but this doesn't seem completely consistent with the intent of the Recreation and Open Space LOS Standards of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. In addition, Objective 9 of the Traffic Circulation Element states: Objective 9. The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future Level of Service Standard deterioration, particularly along US Highway 441 and SR 70. The subject property would be serviced by US 441. The applicant has provided a traffic analysis which showed that traffic would be impacted by the proposed development. It was estimated that the proposed land use would result in an increase of 666 daily trips and 40 PM peak hour trips with 33 more trips in and 7 more trips out. This traffic study is being examined but it does not seem that the traffic analysis has contemplated any of the Commercial, Non -Residential or Marina impacts. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land use change to Multi -Family at ten dwelling units an acre for the entire site is not compatible for this location. There has not been shown enough supporting data to indicate that this level of density is needed for this site. If the true intent of future development for this site equates to a Single Family density, then perhaps a new Future Land Page -8- Use category should be suggested. Given the property's proximity to Taylor Creek, staff is concerned that development might negatively impact this environmentally sensitive area. The Taylor Creek right-of-way per recorded plat should be recognized as non -buildable. It is not clear who is being asked to abandon the Taylor Creek right-of-way. Future Land Use Policy 2.3: The City shall continue to require that all development proposals be accompanied by an inventory of wetlands, soils posing severe limitation to construction, unique habitat, City shall further require that the extent to which any development or redevelopment is proposed to be placed in/on, to disturb, or to alter the natural functions of any of these resources, be identified. Such identification shall occur at a phase in the development review process that provides the opportunity for the City to review the proposed project to ensure that direct and irreversible impacts on the identified resources are minimized, or in the extreme, mitigated. Where development is determined to encroach upon a resource, the City shall require a specific Management Plan to be prepared by the developer, which results in no net loss of wetlands and which includes necessary modifications to the proposed development, specific setback and buffers, and clustering of development away from site resources, to ensure the protection, preservation or natural functions of the resource. The minimum buffer for wetlands shall be 25 feet and the average of all setbacks from the wetland resource shall be 40 feet. Areas designated as buffers shall preserve all natural vegetative cover, except where drainageways and access paths are approved to cross the buffer. Buffers may be supplemented only with native tress, shrubs and ground covers. Policy 7.1: The City shall continue to amend and enforce land development regulations consistent with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) Best Management Practices referenced in Policy 1.4, which will minimize the flow into Taylor Creek of organic nutrients, pesticides, sediment, and other substances having the potential to degrade water quality. The applicant has done a brief Florida Land Use Cover & Classification Systems (FLUCCS) analysis on this property but no Management Plan has been suggested to ensure there is not a loss of wetlands. It would seem that there could be an enhancement of some of these wetlands areas rather than just concluding that these areas are marginal. Conservation Element Policy 4.1: Through Future Land Use Policy 2.3 and implementing Land Development Regulations, the City shall continue to conserve wetlands and protect water quality in Taylor Creek from adverse impacts of development. Policy 5.1: The City shall enforce provisions in its Land Development Regulations to ensure that new development, regardless of its location in the City, meets the following conditions: (a) does not degrade water quality in Taylor Creek; (b) does not threaten groundwater quality, particularly in the vicinity of municipal wells; (c) preserves existing wetland areas; (d) avoids the disturbance of natural drainage features; and (e) preserves habitat for endangered and/or threatened wildlife species. In examining the above Policies, there is not enough supporting evidence to indicate that the wetlands and natural resource areas will be adequately protected. Also, there might be measures to revitalize the wetland areas that haven't been suggested. Postponing the addressing of this until Site Plan time isn't adequately responding to this issue and is more prevalent in poorly planned conversion of rural properties, a characteristic of Urban Sprawl. D. Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended within the Comprehensive Plan, do not support an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. The proposal would be more consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan by following Single Family densities. LaRue, as your planner I am recommending the application be changed to request the mixed use residential land use rather than the multi-famly. Mark Mathis, Romelis, met with Mr. LaRue and your local planning agency, Mr. Close and Close Construction, need for this project, contract with on the property, there is already a mult family project to the south of this, submitted all necessary information, few additional units more than able to be accomodated by infrastructure can handle this. This site will be restored, several wetland on area, rehydrating the wetland areas healthy eco system, storm water system, ditches out that discharge without treating the water, marina will exceeds the , method drawn in oxygen it and continue down, agree with Mr. LaRue, biggest difference is the consideration to mixed use residential, was not available at time of application, one is time much experience with DCA I know that its never as easy as it looks going in, while city and state negoitate amendments if tied to that designations, we understand the limitations we are placing ourselves in, mariana is allowed in the multi family, some non are allowed your code supports, resturant, no, strong interest in moving forward at this time as is, Page -9- my concern is shown map amendments with mixed use, that is the proper time to show it, only time in practical sense DCA does not like to look at something different than, my feeling is it can be done with that much trouble, have a catagory to show, adoption different then you take a chance for kicking it out, my feelings are the same, multi family or enough safe guards, did one for lake placid 6 months ago, was not a problem. Mathis, regards to request althought there were representation not specific, asurtion, 10 units per acre, correspondence Dowling, mr. Larue, on either designation, how does the pud figure in to either designation? You would have the option to either one, still have option either way. Under PUD the devleoper will still ahve to comply with all the other codes in place ie height requirements? Would look at max height requirement. So for this particular one, height requirement for this zoning catagory, could hold them under more restrictive but cannot go above it, would be some differences with the PUD, lot sizes different safety issue more so than the other. Ask applicant, consdieration of wetland, discussion about the conservation area ? 2 ways to do that conservation by land use and through sfwmd and we prefer the sfwmd since we don't know exactly how this is going to play out. LaRue biggest sticking point, land use not zoning, doesn't allow for any type of commercial type uses within it, if there only concern is the time, then it will not be any different. Dowling I would have thought they would have prefered this. You ar enot wrong, lots of possitive with it, if there has been expereince with Mr. LaRue, gone through with that, hearing his strong position with mariana with public access, we would be supportive, modify supprting data for 7.5 consistant data. LaRue - will welcome that.

The application was submitted by Steve Dobbs on behalf of property owners, InSite Development Group LLC. Mr. Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant addressed the Council by reviewing the Planning Staff Report contents and recommendation for denial based on the following: Planning Staff Report Comprehensive ? Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. As proposed, the lapplicant's request does not show adequate data and analysis to support a conversion to the Multi -Family c Land Use category as shown in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. (B) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Water is available to the subject property. It is not clear whether sewer is available and with recent conversions from Single Family there needs to be some acknowledgment of past approval impacts. Impacts to traffic and schools have not been assessed. (C) ` Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land is in a transitional neighborhood and it is difficult to know whether it will be compatible with the adjacent and nearby uses. (D) Compliance with Specific Standard of the Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended, allow for a Small Scale Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to �- Multi -Family. This proposed change at this time is not consistent with the above Objectives and Policies. 37 The Planning Board at their July 20, 2006 found Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-013-SSA consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval to the City Council. Mary Hensite (?spelling?), request to do as it is, leasing property out, we will come back, don't know that we can legally come back, we want to get building projects to start affordable housing, we're ready to go on this not waiting around. Watford, if I were DCA and they see it, you guys did that just to get a way for a large scale amendment and we know that or we wouldn't even be discussing it, we're in enough trouble now, I wouldn't comfortable with this think we're on thin ice any way and when we come back a year from now, Ithink we're asking for trouble. The other choice is to do a major comp plan amendment. We purchased them under a different corporation, don't anticipate being on those lots for 1 year.

Legal description: All of Block 12 (Lots 1 to 26); Lots 1, 2, 3 and 9 (less the East 32.50 feet of Lot 9) and 10 to 26 of Block 21; Lots 1 to 6 of Block 22, City of Okeechobee Subdivision. The application was submitted by Steve Dobbs on behalf of property owners, InSite Development Group LLC. Mr. Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant addressed the Council by reviewing the Revised Planning Staff Report contents and recommendation for approval based on the following: (1) As proposed, the applicant's request would be consistent with the proposed Multi -Family Land Use category as intended in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. (2) The RMF Zoning District allows a variety of uses, including multi -family housing. (3) The existing neighborhood reflects transitional level of residential intensity. The applicant, in a separate application had applied for and received a rezoning for property immediately east of the subject property (Blocks 4 and 13) in March. This area is being rezoned in relation to the previous application. (4) With the area changing the use is appropriate for this location especially in light from the subject of the adjacent property which was amended and rezoned in March. (5) The proposed use will not adversely affect living conditions of the adjacent properties. (6) Should this be granted, buffering would be determined during the site plan review phase. (7) Based on new information from the Okeechobee Utility Authority that sewer capacity is present and can be accommodated by agreement, the proposed change in density pattern should not over burden public facilities. There is a letter from the School Board Officials indicating that the impacts can be accommodated through the School Interlocal Agreement. (8) The proposed use combined with the property to the East has been analyzed in a traffic study and with some adjustments and traffic improvements, traffic congestion can be prevented. (9) The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened. (10) The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege. Planning Board at the July 20, 2006 meeting, found Rezoning Petition No. 06-011-R consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval to the City Council.

These are the first amendments for 2006, and are as follows: To improve the water quality of Taylor creek, the City should investigate setting limits as to the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus that can be discharged into the Creek. The City shall consider whether a high standard for water quality would require new development stormwater treatment systems to be designed using a treatmenttrain approach, using multiple Best Management Practices in series, to ensure maximum potential treatment of stormwater. The City shall require future developments to employ the provisions of the Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program. The Board questioned where this program came from and who operates it? Mr. LaRue explained that this is an actual program, managed by a non-profit organization. We are only asking they follow the guidelines, we are not making them mandatory. The City shall require periodic updates of the current wellfield protection ordinance. The next Amendments were regarding the Capital Improvements Element. The City is revising the Capital Improvements Element by creating a 5-year plan. The information was obtained from the City Administrator. The following are the Total Budget projections by Fiscal Year, for the amendment, these costs include but are not limited to, hardware and software computer upgrades for all City Departments; Handicap Accessability to City Hall; Records Storage Facility; a training tower for the Fire Department; annual street improvements and expansions of the annual project; a sidewalk installation project; storm water master drainage system; canal cleanup programs; and city vehicle leasing/purchase program. lip ----------------- --------- ----- --� _-c �z12 Q ----—_-------------- '' �-�----�------ ' �-�-�.�J �e. �, (.ram --- Mx kc 4 (,ULU lW, Cf 14A I J- a uu "ice hJ 4Lc cv- J-.- -qaU4l4__)a' I JM Page -3 - Fiscal Year _ _ __ _ _ Total Budget Project 2005/2006 $ 593,100.00 2006/2007 $2,2471000.00 200712008 _ _ _- _ - $__613,790.00 2008/2009 $ 690,800.00 2009/2010 $---529;00000 2010/2011 $ 739,000.00 Vote on motion.

Consistency with -the Land Use Categories and Ptanpolicies-The Comprehensive Plan describes the Commercial Future Land Use category in the Future Land Use Element. It states: Policy 2.1(c): Commercial. Permitted uses include office, retail, automotive, wholesale, and related Commercial activities.

However, there is more data necessary to be shown illustrating that this presently - - designated residential -area s-houid become an intensive retail-hl"pact location. B: Concurrency of _ Adequate Public Facilities. Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the proposed impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is_within the -service areaofthe.Qkeechobee_Utility Authority (QUA) who provides this service to City - residents. The anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided by the applicant, this data is -required The existing capacity of the water- supply plant is-fi GD, w4+2.5 MGD already -committed to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The applicant would need to submit a letter to the City which -discusses-the anticipated flow for -the -development- and that- the-OtJA-would -have- capacity to- serve- the- -- proposed development. There should also be a deduction of water use for already approved developments because the cumulative impact has not been contemplated if all approved developments are built. - _--Wastewater Disposal: _The-adopted-L4S-fowwastewater-dispasal is-130 gallons/ capita/day. The -subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property would-be cannot -be determined at this- time. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment- plant is _1-2- - MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a minimum - -of-300;000 GPD otexceseca aci The OUA has stater- that tans are -underway p tq. - p to construct an addition- to the plant which will permit an additional 3 MGD. This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008. The applicant would need to verify that the OUA would have capacity to serve tie proposed development: Solid _Waste Disposal: The __City -has _an adopted _LOS of13_I_bs/capita/day_and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The impacts of the proposed development will be minimal as the uses will be - Gommerciahn-nature: Draina-,-. .. rmwa#erManagement -The-adopted LOS fordrainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the i y-of-Okeechobee and the--Ftorida-Administrative- Code. There -should -be -at least a conceptual understanding of how stormwater discharge will be handled for what is obviously going to be the creation of impervious areas. Recreation and Open Space: The adoptedZ�S fior recreafion -and-open space is 3 - _ acres/1_,000_pers-ons-._ The_proposed development is Commercial in nature and is not expected to impact parks. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All -other roads have an 1=OS-D. This-LOS mustbemaintained on the site for all roadways serving the site, . The subject property is serviced by SR 70. The applicant has not provided a traffic analysis which demonstrates-howtheproposed- Development -would impact the -surrounding -roadway network: Objective-9 _ __ An fl, f) "/.j IA) Jayjl� o Page -4- and its corresponding policies (Traffic Circulation Element) states: Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future level of service standard deterioration, particularly along US Highway 441 and SR 70. Policy 9.1: To assist in improving level of service standards, Commercial redevelopment efforts shall be prioritized to mitigate existing "strip" Commercial sites. Policy 9.2: Access points to Commercial centers shall be limited, where feasible, to decrease traffic congestions along City arterials and other roadways. Policy 9.3: Efforts shall be made, where appropriate, to separate local traffic from through traffic in Commercial areas: The applicant must submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates that the above polices will be met and that the Level. of Service would Hof be degraded for the surrounding roads. Such analysis should include the anticipated trips from the Commercial property'to the east. ` C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed change to Commercial has been stated by the applicant that it would not negatively impact surrounding properties. The. proposed type of Commercial uses and usage of buffers should be demonstrated before compatibility can be assumed. D. Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, 'Objectives and Policies (as they are intended) in the Comprehensive Plan would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Commercial if compatibility, acceptable impacts on traffic, sewer, water and overall fiscal feasibility resulting from this re -designation, can be shown by supporting data and analysis. On May 23, 2006, the Land Planning Agency recommended for approval of the applicant's request contingent upon the applicant providing the following additional information before the August 1, 2006 City Council transmittal meeting. Potable Water Issue: The anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided. We need a determination of how much potable water the entire site is expected to demand. Submit a letter to the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) to determine whether the OUA will have the capacity to serve the proposed development. The response should take into consideration the existing capacity of the water supply plant, how much is already committed to use, and a cumulative impact for already approved development. Wastewater Issue: The anticipated flow for wastewater has not been determined. As with the potable water issue, a determination of wastewater flows should be given to the OUA. As you know, the excess capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is less than 300,000 gallons per day (GPD), but until the expansion to the plant is completed we need to know if the OUA will have the capacity to handle your commercial development. Drainage/Stormwater Management Issue: Because of the amount of impervious areas which is customary with commercial uses, we need an idea of how stormwater discharge will be handled on the site. Drainage plans can be submitted during the site plan review phase of development, but for now we need a statement which will discuss, for example, possible detention areas, connecting culverts or outfall structures which will manage surface water on the site. Traffic Issue: We also requested that you submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed development would impact the surrounding roadway network. The study must contain quantitative analysis dealing with the impacts of the proposed commercial development throughout the short-term planning timeframe (5-years) and the long term planning timeframe (10-years). It is suggested that this be done for the roadway segments within a 3-mile radius of the subject property. In addition, the analysis must take into consideration the adopted level of service (LOS) standard for the surrounding roads, especially SR 70, and how the proposed development will impact the LOS.

Consistency withthetmnd Use Categories -and -Ptah -Policies.- This Large -Scale flan Amendment application speaks about a mixed -use development but there is little data explaining and supporting this approach or justifying the request of 1Vlulti-FamTy Residentialfor the enfire parcel. Objective 2: The -City - of Okeechobee will ensure that all new development is consistent with the Future Land Use Element. Policy 2.1: The following land use designations are established for the purpose of managing future - - growth: (b) -Multi-family Residential. Permitted uses include_ apartments, duplexes, condominiums, _ single-family houses and public facilities. Maximum density shall not exceed 10 units per acre. Where - affordabletousing is -provided -in -accordance with Housing Policy 1.6 the -maximum -density for -multi-family-- development shall be 11 units per acre. As submitted, the application and supporting documentation is insufficient to support the charge from Single Familyto-Multi-Family.

The applicant has stated that this would be met with the provision of on -site facilities, but this doesn't seem completely consistent -with intent of the Fteereation- ndOpen-Space LOS Standards ofthe-City's Comprehensive Plan. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is L08 C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must bemainfained on the site for - - - __all roadways serving the_site.__In addition, Objective 9 of the Traffic Circulation Element_states: _Objective_ 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future Level of Service Standard deterioration, - partWarly along -US #ighway441-and SR 70. --The subject property would-be serviced by US 441-.

This traffic study is being examined but it does not seem that the traffic analysis has contemplated any of the Commercial, Non -Residential or Marina impacts. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land use change to Multi -Family at ten dwelling units an acre for the entire site is not compatible for this location. There has not been shown enough supporting data to indicate that this level of density is needed for this site. If the true intent of future development for this site equates to a Single Family density, then perhaps a new Future Land Use category should be suggested. Given the property's proximity to Taylor Creek, staff is concerned that development might negatively impact this environmentally sensitive area. The Taylor Creek right-of-way per recorded plat should be recognized as non -buildable. It is not clear who is being asked to abandon the Taylor Creek right-of-way. Future Land Use Policy 2.3: The City shall continue to require that all development proposals be accompanied by an inventory of wetlands, soils posing severe limitation to construction, unique habitat, City shall further require that the extent to which any development or redevelopment is proposed to be placed in/on, to disturb, or to alter the natural functions of any of these resources, be identified. Such identification shall occur at a phase in the development review process that provides the opportunity for the City to review the proposed project to ensure that direct and irreversible impacts on the identified resources are minimized, or in the extreme, mitigated. Where development is determined to encroach upon a resource, the City shall require a specific Management Plan to be prepared by the developer, which results in no net loss of wetlands and which includes necessary modifications to the proposed development, specific setback and buffers, and clustering of development away from site resources, to ensure the protection, preservation or natural functions of the resource. The minimum buffer for wetlands shall be 25 feet and the average of all setbacks from the wetland resource shall be 40 feet. Areas designated as buffers shall preserve all natural vegetative cover, except where drainageways and access paths are approved to cross the buffer. Buffers may be supplemented only with native tress, shrubs and ground covers. Policy 7.1: The City shall continue to amend and enforce land development regulations consistent with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) Best Management Practices referenced in Policy 1.4, which will minimize the flow into Taylor Creek of organic nutrients, pesticides, sediment, and other substances having the potential to degrade water quality. The applicant has done a brief Florida Land Use Cover & Classification Systems (FLUCCS) analysis on this property but no Management Plan has been suggested to ensure there is not a loss of wetlands. It would seem that there could be an enhancement of some of these wetlands areas rather than just concluding that these areas are marginal. Conservation Element Policy 4.1: Through Future Land Use Policy 2.3 and implementing Land Development Regulations, the City shall continue to conserve wetlands and protect water quality in Taylor Creek from adverse impacts of development. Policy 5.1: The City shall enforce provisions in its Land Development Regulations to ensure that new development, regardles"f its location in the City, meets the following conditions: (a) does not degrade water quality in Taylor Creek; (b) does not threaten groundwater quality, particularly in the vicinity of municipal wells; (c) preserves existing wetland areas; (d) avoids the disturbance of natural drainage features; and (e) preserves habitat for endangered and/or threatened wildlife species. In examining the above Policies, there is not enough supporting evidence to indicate that the wetlands and natural resource areas will be adequately protected. Also, there might be measures to revitalize the wetland areas that haven't been suggested. Postponing the addressing of this until Site Plan time isn't adequately responding to this issue and is more prevalent in poorly planned conversion of rural properties, a characteristic of Urban Sprawl. D. Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended within the Comprehensive Plan, do not support an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. The proposal would be more consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan by following Single Family densities. Vote on motion. VOTE YEA NAY ABSTAIN ABSENT KIRK CHANDLER MARKHAM WATFORD L.

Legal description: All of Block 12 (Lots 1 to 26); Lots 1, 2, 3 and 9 (less the East 32.50 feet of tot 9) and 10 to 26 of Block 21; Lots 1 to 6 of Block 22, City of Okeechobee Subdivision. The application was submitted 5y Steve Dobbs on behalf of property owners, InSite Development Group LLC. Mr. Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant addressed the Council by reviewing the Revised Planning Staff Report contents and recommendation for approval based on the following: (1) As proposed, the applicant's request would be consistent with the proposed Multi -Family Land Use category as intended in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. (2) The RMF Zoning District allows a variety of uses, including multi -family housing. (3) The existing neighborhood reflects transitional level of residential intensity. The applicant, in a separate application had applied for and received a rezoning for property immediately east of the subject property (Blocks 4 and 13) in March. This area is being rezoned in relation to the previous application. (4) With the area changing the use is appropriate for this location especially in light from the subject of the adjacent property which was amended and rezoned in March. (5) The proposed use will not adversely affect living conditions of the adjacent properties. (6) Should this be granted, buffering would be determined during the site plan review phase. (7) Based on new information from the Okeechobee Utility Authority that sewer capacity is present and can be accommodated by agreement, the proposed change in density pattern should not over burden public facilities. There is a letter from the School Board Officials indicating that the impacts can be accommodated through the School Interlocal Agreement. (8) The proposed use combined with the property to the East has been analyzed in a traffic study and with some adjustments and traffic improvements, traffic congestion can be prevented. (9) The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened. (10) The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege. Planning Board at the July 20, 2006 meeting, found Rezoning Petition No. 06-011-R consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval to the City Council.

Clement, Secretary u � J City of Okeechobee Proposed Residential Mixed Use Future Land Use Category Residential Mixed Use (RMU) Description Intended to accommodate and provide flexibility for development of multiple uses within a residential setting. In order for land to be considered for this designation, land requested to be placed in this category shall be a minimum of 50 acres. Development within this category would be allowed to be no more than seven and one-half (7.5) gross dwelling units per acre. Land developed within this Residential Mixed Use Category must adhere to the following innovative design and planning principles. All new development within the Residential Mixed Use Category shall be required to be zoned as a Planned Development or Planned Unit Development. 2. Development within this Residential Mixed Use Category will be required to cluster in order to maximize open space and natural areas. Development within the Residential Mixed Use Category is permitted to be clustered at higher than gross density as long as the gross density is not exceeded for the total acreage within the Residential Mixed Use Category. Development within the Residential Mixed Use Category is encouraged to provide a mix of uses, including a mix of residential types, recreational amenities, civic spaces and convenience and commercial uses intended to serve residents and their guests in order to minimize trips outside the Residential Mixed Use Category. 4. Development is encouraged to provide creative site designs, and clustering is required to provide for greater common open space and mixed -use development. The planning flexibility provided through the planned development process shall encourage and facilitate creative design techniques. a. Residential Development. These areas shall include single and/or multiple family home site acreage, and shall include, but not be limited to, single-family attached and detached; duplexes and two-family units; and town homes and other multi -family dwelling types. b. Non-residential Development. These areas will include vehicular and pedestrian ways, commercial and institutional areas, club houses and associated facilities, utility buildings, maintenance areas, tennis courts and associated non-residential uses. C. Residential and Non-residential Development acreage may account for no more than 60% of the gross area within the Residential Mixed Use Category. Intensity/density standards for all uses within this category are set forth in the Intensity/Density Table below: cis fly ems' �li�xIV I Percent Aggregate Land Use Mix Within the Mixed Use Future Land Use Map Category Land Uses in Mixed Use Minimum % Maximum % Maximum Land Use Mix Land Use Mix Density/Intensity Residential 45 % 59 % 3 gross du/ac Commercial/Non-residential 10% 15% .35 FAR Open Space 40 % 53 % .25 FAR d. Open Spaces. These areas will include preserved natural areas, buffers lakes, parks, golf courses, nature trails, retention areas, conservation areas, scenic resources, green belts, wetlands and associated areas and must account for a minimum of 40% of the property within the Residential Mixed Use Category. Golf course fairways will account for no more than fifty percent (50%) of the open space of the subject Residential Mixed Use Category. No development (residential/commercial) structures are intended, but only recreation oriented buildings and/or structures. The owners will employ management strategies in and around any golf course to address the potential for pesticide/chemical pollution of the groundwater and surface water receiving areas. The management practices will include: The use of slow release fertilizers and/or carefully managed fertilizer applications which are timed to ensure maximum root uptake and minimal surface water runoff or leaching to the groundwater; ii. The practice of integrated pest management when seeking to control various pests, such as weeds, insects, and nematodes. The application of pesticides will involve only the purposeful and minimal application of pesticides, aimed only at identified targeted species. The regular widespread application of broad spectrum pesticides is not acceptable. The management program will minimize, to the extent possible, the use of pesticides, and will include the use of the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Services Soil Pesticide Interaction Guide to select pesticides that have a minimum potential for leaching or loss to due runoff depending on the site -specific soil conditions; iii. The coordination of the application of pesticides with the irrigation practices (the timing and application rates of irrigation water) to reduce runoff and the leaching of any pesticides and nutrients; • iv. The utilization of a golf course manager who is licensed by the State to use restricted pesticides and who will perform the required management functions. The golf course manager will be responsible for ensuring that the golf course fertilizers are selected and applied to minimize fertilizer runoff into the surface water and the leaching of those same fertilizers into the groundwater; and V. The storage, mixing and loading of fertilizer and pesticides will be designed to prevent/minimize the pollution of the natural environment. f. The shorelines of any stormwater management lakes must be sinuous in configuration, and must be sloped or bermed. The littoral zones around the ponds must be planted with native wetland herbaceous plants, and trees or shrubs can be included within the herbaceous plants. At least four species must be planted. The minimum required number of plants will be one plant per linear foot of lake shoreline as measured at the control elevation water level. The littoral shelf should provide a feeding area for water dependent avian species. 5. As individual zonings to PUD are submitted to the City, they shall include as a minimum the following information: A showing of the amount of units as a part of the maximum approved for the parent parcel. b. A Traffic Analysis submitted verifying that adequate capacity currently exists or will exist prior to the issuance of any Certificates of Occupancy. 6. Any lands included or amended into the Residential Mixed Use Category must demonstrate the non-existence of urban sprawl by: a. Submitting a fiscal impact study demonstrating a net fiscal benefit to the City. b. Directing new growth to areas where public facilities exist, are planned within the City or County Five Year Capital Improvements Plan, or are committed to through a Developer Agreement, or otherwise assured to be funded by the appropriate agency. C. Requiring all development to be connected to central water and sewer.

The subject of this request is a 21.14 acre parcel fronting on the north side of State Route 70, east of State Route 441 in Okeechobee City, Florida. That portion of the subject site fronting on State Route 70 is currently zoned "Commercial" whereas the rear portion of the same site is zoned "future residential Current interest in new housing development in Okeechobee suggests significant increases in population in the near future. In turn, the need for commercial space and the jobs it brings rises in response to hous- ing growth. The advantages that commercial zoning development brings to Okeechobee City in the form of sales taxes, an enhanced real estate tax base and increased level of employment is self evident. State Route 441 presently has the largest commercially developed properties within the city. State Route 70, immediately west of State Route 441 and now to the east of 441 constitutes the other principal commercially zoned district serving the community. Future development along State Route 70 eastward to Fort Pierce and southeast along State Route 710 (Bee Line Highway) will attract significant traffic and commercial potential to the benefit of Okeechobee, both City and County. This concept is already supported by every inquiry we have had on the subject property to date in which interest in the property has been to zone the site "Commercial" in its entirety. As indicated herein, the subject site is surrounded by commercially zoned property to the East and South. Small trailer parks exist immediately West and across State Route 70 to the Southwest. A drainage swale and overhead power lines separate the subject site from undeveloped residentially zoned property to the North accessible only via SE 13th Avenue or perhaps off of State Route 441 North of State Route 70. We respectfully request the subject property be changed to "all commercial' zoning from its current zoning which is part commercial, part residential for the following reasons: 1. "Highest and best uses" of the subject site zoning is "Conunercial" in that this zoning will benefit the city most through sales taxes, higher real estate property taxes and increased employment. 2. State Route 70 at the subject property's location could hardly be considered a suitable roadway from a residential perspective. Despite the fact that a four way intersection can be developed midway across the subject site frontage, there is no other access to the currently zoned "Residential" portion of this prop- erty. This means that access to the residential portion would only be available from a highly trafficked roadway (State Route 70) through property that is currently zoned "Commercial" — a circumstance which is neither safe nor attractive to residential development. I All inquirers to date concerning the subject property have expressed the desire to have the entire site zoned "Commercial". Furthermore, these interested parties wish to co -develop the subject site with the adjoining 18 acres to the East (currently zoned commercial), to create a "destination" spot for the city. Although premature, early talks reveal a mixed -use plan of retail (both large and small) and office space. This would not only create a "destination" spot for family and friends, but it could also generate numer- ous jobs for local citizens. 4. As Okeechobee City and County continue to grow, the State Route 70 corridor, particularly extending east from State Route 441, will be better served by a site of the size, shape and character of the subject property to be commercially zoned. This property, along with the adjoining 18 acres, has the potential not only to becoming a "destination" spot, but it WILL be the first thing travelers from the East will see when the%/ cross into city limits. 5. Currently zoned trailer parks along State Route 70 should be phased out over time as they no longer meet the "highest and best use" test and in fact are fast becoming a liability to the community in terms of real estate tax contribution, requirements for City services, stability and appearance. We would be pleased to respond to any questions that our proposal raises, but hopefully circumstances cited in support of our request for the zoning changes requested are both self evident and self explanatory.

Item Before the LPA and City Council: The matter before the Local Planning Agency and the City Council is a request to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for a portion of the above described property from Single Family to Commercial. The request is more specifically shown on Exhibit A attached. Since the property in question is over 10 acres (16.24 acres), this application qualifies under Florida Statutes 163 as a "Large -Scale Amendment" to the Plan. Adjacent Future Land Use Map classifications and Zoning Districts: The Table below summarizes the Future Land Use of the adjoining properties as well as the zoning classifications. Given the property's proximity to SR 70, in addition to the existing land uses of the abutting properties, the proposed Commercial development appears consistent with the area to the east, but it is difficult to assess the total impact of the combined Commercial with the neighborhood to the west. North: FLUM Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: East: FLUM Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: South: FLUM Classification: Zoning District. - Existing Land Use: West: FLUM Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: Application Description: Single Family RMH ResidentialNacant Commercial CHV Commercial Commercial and Single Family CHV, RMH and RMF Commercial Single Family RMH and RSF-1 Residential The site is currently vacant and undeveloped and within the RMH, Holding, and CHV Zoning Districts. Obviously the applicant is proposing Commercial uses for the property, but an exact use has not been determined at this time. As such, before the applicant can receive a change in 2 Staff Report Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: H2O Holdings, LLC 06-C1-001 Future Land Use for this site the City must have an idea of how the applicant plans to develop the property. Comprehensive Plan Analysis: The City Council and Local Planning Agency are required to address certain uses in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan, which may be categorized as follows: A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. The Comprehensive Plan describes the Commercial Future Land Use category in the Future Land Use Element. It states: Policy 2.1(c): Commercial. Permitted uses include office, retail, automotive, wholesale, and related Commercial activities. Also permitted are public facilities. Commercial development shall not exceed a floor area ratio of 3.00 and the maximum impervious surface for development within this category shall not exceed 85% of the site. Under the proposed Commercial Future Land Use category, the applicant would be allm�'ed to develop the subject property with the Retail/Commercial uses. Ilowever_ there is more data necessary to be shown illustrating that this presently designated residential area should become an intensive retail high impact location. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the proposed impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided by the applicant, this data is required. The existing capacity of the water supply plant is 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The applicant would need to submit a letter to the City which discusses the anticipated flow for the development and that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development. There should also be a deduction of water use for already approved developments because the cumulative impact has not been contemplated if all approved developments are built. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/ capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Staff Report • Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Apcant: H2O Holdings, LLC 06-C1-001 Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property would be cannot be determined at this time. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a minimum of 300,000 GPD of excess capacity. The OUA has stated that plans are underway to construct an addition to the plant which will permit an additional 3 MGD. This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008. The applicant would need to verify that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development. Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 lbs/capita/day and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The impacts of the proposed development will be minimal as the uses will be Commercial in nature. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code. There should be at least a conceptual understanding of how Stormwater discharge will be handled for what is obviously going to be the creation of impervious areas. Recreation and Open Space: The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is Commercial in nature and is not expected to impact parks. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. The subject property is serviced by SR 70. The applicant has not provided a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed Development would impact the surrounding roadway network. Objective 9 and its corresponding policies (Traffic Circulation Element) states: Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future level of service standard deterioration, particularly along US Highway 441 and SR 70. Policy 9.1: To assist in improving level of service standards, Commercial redevelopment efforts shall be prioritized to mitigate existing "strip" Commercial sites. Policy 9.2: Access points to Commercial centers shall be limited, where feasible, to decrease traffic congestions along City arterials and other roadways. Policy 9.3: Efforts shall be made, where appropriate, to separate local traffic from through traffic in Commercial areas. C! Staff Report Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment C. 11n Applicant: H2O Holdings, LLC 06-C1-001 The applicant must submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates that the above polices will be met and that the Level of Service would not be degraded for the surrounding roads. Such analysis should include the anticipated trips from the Commercial property to the east. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed change to Commercial has been stated by the applicant that it would not negatively impact surrounding properties. The proposed type of Commercial uses and usage of buffers should be demonstrated before compatibility can be assumed. Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies (as they are intended) in the Comprehensive Plan would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Commercial if compatibility, acceptable impacts on traffic, sewer, water and overall fiscal feasibility resulting from this re -designation, can be shown by supporting data and analysis. The applicant's supporting data and analysis do not presently support Commercial uses at this location. It is recommended that the LPA and City Council find the application to be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan until the applicant submits the following information: 1. Traffic analysis; 2. Water and sewer analysis for the proposed development; and 3. Discusses the type of Commercial uses to be deve'.oped on the site as some levels of intensity might be appropriate while some uses would not; 4. Demonstrate the Fiscal impacts for this Plan Amendment that would qualify this Amendment as being fiscally feasible under Florida Statutes. Attachments to this Staff Report include a copy of the Future Land Use Map indicating the location of the subject property. Staff did not recommend for approval of applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map to Commercial. 5 Staff Report • Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Apocant: H2O Holdings, LLC 06-C 1-001 On May 23, 2006, the Land Planning Agency recommended for approval of the applicant's request contingent upon the applicant providing the following additional information before the August 1, 2006 City Council transmittal meeting. 1. Potable Water Issue: The anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided. We need a determination of how much potable water the entire site is expected to demand. Submit a letter to the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) to determine whether the OUA will have the capacity to serve the proposed development. The response should take into consideration the existing capacity of the water supply plant, how much is already committed to use, and a cumulative impact for already approved development. 2. Wastewater Issue: The anticipated flow for wastewater has not been determined. As with the potable water issue, a determination of wastewater flows should be given to the OUA. As you know, the excess capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is less than 300,000 gallons per day (GPD), but until the expansion to the plant is completed we need to know if the OUA will have the capacity to handle your commercial development. 3. Drain a ge/Stormwater Management Issue: Because of the amount of impervious areas which is customary with commercial uses, we need an idea of how stormwater discharge will be handled on the site. Drainaoe plans can be submitted during the site plan review pha<e of &%'clopment, but for now we need a statement which will discuss. for example, possible detention areas, connecting culverts or outfall structures which will manage surface water on the site. 4. Traffic Issue: We also requested that you submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed development would impact the surrounding roadway network. The study must contain quantitative analysis dealing with the impacts of the proposed commercial development throughout the short-term planning timeframe (5-years) and the long term planning timeframe (I 0-years). It is suggested that this be done for the roadway segments within a 3-mile radius of the subject property. In addition, the analysis must take into consideration the adopted level of service (LOS) standard for the surrounding roads, especially SR 70, and how the proposed development will impact the LOS.

Mr. LaRue added that he is willing to work with the applicant, however additional information is needed such as a traffic impact analysis, stormwater plan and the fiscal anaaysis. There were several surrounding property owners in attendance and spoke their concerns regarding noise, odors, traffic, and buffers so they will still have their natural surrounding environment. These items are addressed during site plan review. Planning Staff advised that any development would be required to address the concerns at that time and would have to comply with all regulations. Mr. Don Hackl, property owner, addressed the Agency by explaining that retail is the highest and best use for this property, it will increase the tax base and create more jobs. Mr. Glenn Stroud, an associate of Mr. Hackl's, added, without the land use change, developers nor retailers, will not look at or consider the property seriously. The traffic study will not be cost feasible without the certainty of the land use or rezoning change. 2006 - Land Planning Agency - Page 9 of 13 VII. LARGE SCALE PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A.

Based on that memorandum, it is our understanding that the Land Planning Agency of the City of Okeechobee approved the above -referenced application subject to submittal of certain additional information. The purpose of this letter, and its associated attachments, is to provide that additional information. Specifically, this letter report will address the following items: potable water, wastewater, drainage / stormwater management, and traffic. The subject parcel is located on State Road 70, in the vicinity of Southeast 10th Avenue. Please see attached Exhibit A — Project Location Map. Top aide in review of the application and these supplemental materials, the applicant has provided a conceptual site plan illustrating what the proposed use may entail — please see Exhibit B — Conceptual Site Plan. Potable Water Issue An analysis of available water infrastructure and capacity is based on the following: Flow Estimates: Anticipated daily water needs are estimated by calculating projected wastewater flows from Chapter 64E-6, Florida Administrative Code, as follows: Proposed Gross Floor Flow Criteria Flow Justification Use Area (gpd) Office 27,000 sq. ft. 15 gpd per 100 sf 4,050 Ch. 64-E6, FAC Retail 163,000 sq. ft. 0.1 gpd per sf 16,300 Ch. 64-E6, FAC Restaurant 10,000 sq. ft. 240 gpd per 100 sf 24,000 Ch. 64-E6, FAC_ TOTAL 44,350 Based on an assumption of 6 seats per 100 sq. ft. gross floor area. P \06-0162\Permit\city\comp) plan - letter report.doc Based on the above table, the development would generate an estimated total wastewater flow of 44,350 gallons per day. Typically, wastewater flows are less than potable water demand by a factor of 0.8. So, anticipated potable water demand would be 44,350 / 0.8, or 55,438 gpd. Average daily flows and peak flows are based on an ' assumed nine hour business day and a peaking factor of 2.5: • Average Flow = 55,438 gpd x (1 day/9 hrs) x (1 hr/60 min) = 103 gpm ' Peak Flow = 103 gpm x 2.5 = 257 gpm It is also anticipated that fire flow will be required of 500 to 1000 gallons per minute (to ' be determined by the Fire Marshall at permitting. ' Infrastructure: This element of our analysis concerns the availability of infrastructure at or near the project site. It is our understanding that the following facilities are available: • An existing 12" ductile iron water main runs along the north side of State Road ' 70, adjacent to the subject property. Based on the existence of these facilities, it is our understanding that water infrastructure ' is immediately available to the site. Capacity: On behalf of the applicant, LBFH submitted a letter to the Okeechobee Utility Authority ' (OUA) requesting confirmation that adequate water capacity is available to serve the proposed use. A copy of that letter, along with the response letter from OUA, is attached as Appendices 1 a and 1 b, respectively. According to the letter from OUA, adequate ' water capacity will be available to the subject site based on the estimated development schedule. ' Wastewater Issue An analysis of available wastewater infrastructure and capacity is based on the following: Flow Estimates: Anticipated wastewater needs are based on the following: Proposed Gross Floor Flow Criteria Flow Justification Use Area (gpd) Office 27,000 sq. ft. 15 gpd per 100 sf 4,050 Ch. 64-E6, FAC Retail 163,000 sq. ft. 0.1 gpd per sf 16,300 Ch. 64-E6, FAC ' Restaurant 10,000 sq. ft. 240 gpd per 100 sf 24,000 Ch. 64-E6, FAC* TOTAL 44,350 Based on an assumption of 6 seats per 100 sq. ft. gross floor area.

I PA06-0162\Permit\city\compl plan - letter report.doc F Infrastructure: This element of our analysis concerns the availability of infrastructure at or near the project site. It is our understanding that the following facilities are available: • An existing wastewater lift station, owned and operated by OUA (OUA Station ' NE-3), is located near the northwest corner of the subject property, It is our understanding that the lift station currently serves 84 mobile home units in the River Run mobile home park. ' • An existing 4' force main runs along the west boundary of the subject property. It is our understanding that the force main runs from Lift Station NE-3 to existing OUA facilities along State Road 70. ' Based on the existence of these facilities, it is our understanding that wastewater infrastructure is immediately available to the site. ' Capacity: On behalf of the applicant, LBFH submitted a letter to the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) requesting confirmation that, based on the proposed project schedule ' (approximately 36 months), adequate wastewater capacity is available to serve the proposed use. A copy of that letter, along with the response letter from OUA, is attached as Appendices 2a and 2b, respectively. According to the letter from OUA, adequate ' wastewater capacity will be available to the subject site based on the estimated development schedule. Drainacie Issue Existing Conditions: The project site slopes, generally, from east to west toward Taylor Creek, with an average elevation of approximately 20.0 feet NGVD. Please see attached Exhibit C — ' Topo Quad Map, showing project topography taken from USGS Quadrangle maps. The site drains to Taylor Creek via an existing ditch along the north property line, connecting to Taylor Creek via a 36-inch culvert under Northeast 8th Avenue. ' Proposed Facilities: The project proposes a typical surface water management system meeting the requirements of both the City of Okeechobee and South Florida Water Management ' District (SFWMD). It is anticipated that the system would consist of a wet or dry detention pond, situated in the northwest corner of the property to take advantage of the existing drainage outfall from the site. As stated above, the average site grade is ' approximately 20.0 feet NGVD, whereas the wet season control elevation of Taylor Creek is held at 13.5 feet NGVD, thereby providing a positive gravity discharge from the proposed water management system. Discharge rates and volumes from the project site ' will be restricted to the allowable discharge criteria set forth by SFWMD for the Taylor Creek Basin, and in no instance will they be greater than in the pre -development condition. It should also be noted that, based on a preliminary environmental analysis, no jurisdictional wetlands occur on the project site. A copy of the preliminary wetland report, as well as a confirmation letter provided by SFWMD staff is attached as Appendix 3. PA06-0162\Permit\city\comp1 plan - letter report.doc ' Traffic Issue The applicant understands that a project of this magnitude will likely affect the surrounding transportation network. In order to anticipate those potential impacts, a ' detailed Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared for the proposed use, and is attached as Appendix 4. In summary, the proposed use would require specific improvements to State Road 70 in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project entrance, including turn lanes. ' While the analysis does indicate that future traffic growth will cause failure to certain nearby segments of roadway, it is not anticipated that the proposed use would cause a Level of Service (LOS) failure on any associated nearby road links or intersections. ' Rather, the report indicates that overall traffic growth in the region is a much more significant factor than proposed traffic generated by this project. ' Summary ' The intent of this letter report and attached exhibits and appendices is to supplement the current application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment. We have attempted to fully address the known items of concern, including potable water, wastewater, drainage and traffic. Based on our studies and findings, these elements of the proposed Plan ' Amendment have been adequately addressed. However, if you have any questions, or require any further information, please don't hesitate to contact our office at your earliest convenience.

The site is located such that its main entrance is opposite 10th Avenue. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the proposed development on adjacent roadway links and to determine if there are specific traffic improvements that are necessary in order to maintain acceptable levels of service in the vicinity of the project. The site is located on the north side of SR 70 at 10th Avenue. The initial development plan includes approximately 200,000 square feet of space. Approximately 165,000 would be commercial retail space, approximately 25,000 general office space and 10,000 in restaurant use. Access plans for the site indicate that the main entrance would be an extension of 10th Avenue and would be signalized as the north leg of the existing traffic signal. Exhibit 1 is a map of the area depicting the project location. A copy of the proposed site plan for this project is included as Exhibit 2. SR 70 in this vicinity is a four lane divided facility. Left turn lanes are provided in the center median of this existing facility. 10th Avenue is a two lane facility that serves a residential area along the south side of SR 70. The Okeechobee Post Office is located on the east side of 10th Avenue and much of the traffic using the existing intersection here is associated with this facility. SR 98/441 (Parrott Avenue) is also a four lane divided facility with turn lanes in the median. Traffic volume data for the year 2004 was obtained from FDOT for State roads in the vicinity and current data was collected at selected intersections and roadway links within the general vicinity of the site. The data was factored to represent peak conditions for 2006 Exhibit 3 is a tabulation of the data utilized for this analysis. The data from FDOT is taken from the 2004 summary report of traffic information state wide. Trip generation for the proposed site was developed utilizing the 7th Edition of the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The table below tabulates the daily, AM and PM peak hour trip generation data for the proposed development.

This factor accounts for the fact that some of the traffic that will be associated with the proposed development is contained in the existing traffic stream. The percentage values are taken from other agency data where impact assessments have been made. We think that they are reasonable for use in this instance. The PM peak hour is the most intense with a total of 390 trips expected to exit the site and 334 trips to enter the site. Trip Distribution 47t7d Assignment The overall distribution of trips into and away from the project site will be influenced by socio-economic conditions in the communities that surround the area. The conditions in the Okeechobee area are changing in the current climate of growth in the south Florida region. Population density, job base, recreational amenities and travel time were utilized as factors impacting the final trip distribution estimate. While the population of Okeechobee County is relatively low, it is surrounded by areas where population is growing and the growth in these surrounding areas will be an influence on growth in the Okeechobee region. \\pc\Emp1oyee\don-h\06.0162 Okee Commons\A.

Desicgis Year iaffic; The growth of traffic in the area was estimated by combining data from the FDOT Traffic Information 2004 data set along with recent trends in the area. Based on the data from FDOT, forecasts for traffic growth in the area for the next ten years is likely to be just under 2% per year. This same data package indicated that growth over the past ten years to be just under 3% per year. Although the past 4 years experienced growth at a slower rate, it was felt that a more conservative approach to the estimate should be made in order to ensure that under estimates are avoided. \\pc\Emp1oyee\don-h\06.0162 Okee Commons\A.

Turning movement data collected at the intersections was compared to machine collected data and traffic volumes were adjusted through the area to reflect continuity of volumes. From this data, a set of traffic volumes for the current year was developed for the roadway network. These data were used for detailed corridor and intersection analyses. A summary of these turning data is included in Exhibit 4. For the planning years of 2007 through 2009, the daily traffic volumes for the roadway links were factored to reflect the growth anticipated through the years. A 2.5% annual growth rate was applied along with a peak season factor in each instance.

Report\TIA Okee Commons.doe 4 L F 1 The values provided in the generalized tables are derived from a specific set of operating conditions that could be expected to be used where traffic is operating at non -critical levels of service. Actual operating conditions are frequently different and a detailed arterial analysis may indicate that the roadway has an operating capacity above the limit given in the generalized tables. Road�vy Impr v��"'mentS, FDOT currently has no plans for major roadway improvements in this general area. A project has recently been completed on SR 70 that continued the four lane treatment to the west to a point just west of SR 98. There are long range plans being made for improvements to SR 70 in the region as an element of the intra-state highway program. No immediate improvement plans were found, however, within the area potentially impacted by this project. M Traffic that is associated with approved projects that are not yet being constructed must be accounted for in the impact analysis for the design year. There are no projects that have been identified within the influence area of this proposed project that would have an impact that is not adequately addressed in the overall growth rate for traffic in the area. MEMIgWrtum Traffic volumes from the project have been distributed to the roadway network in accord with information noted previously in this report. This distribution indicates that approximately 17% of the traffic will be destined for points to the north; about 23% to the south; about 27% to the west and north toward Brighton and Lake Placid; and the remainder to the east and south toward Palm Beach County. The table below summarizes the anticipated traffic from the project on the roadway links adjacent to the development site.

The table below provides an initial estimate of the ability of the roadway segments to handle both the normal growth in traffic through the region as well as traffic from the proposed development.

Consequently, a detailed analysis of the corridor and impacted intersections is needed in order to confirm actual operating conditions. A traffic simulation network was developed to include the intersections along SR 70 from SR 710 to 5tt' Avenue W.; and SR- 441 (Parrott Avenue) from SR-70 to 21st Street. This network provides a basis for evaluating the capacity of the corridor based upon the signalized intersections within the corridor and the operating conditions that exist at the intersections. Current signal operating data was obtained from FDOT. With current operating data along with traffic volume data, an assessment of current operating conditions can be made. Data obtained from MOT is included in Exhibit 6. The operating parameters for the signalized intersections through the immediate area were input into the traffic simulation network and level of service parameters were calculated for the existing traffic conditions. Current level of service calculations indicates that conditions, at present, are reasonably good in both travel directions. An increased amount of delay and a somewhat slower travel time is evident at the major intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue. \\pc\Employee\don-h\06.0162 Okee Commons\F..

The slower speed and higher delay to the eastbound travel direction is attributable to the very heavy volume of traffic turning left onto Parrott Avenue southbound from SR 70. The overall level of service, however, is within acceptable limits. A similar series of calculations was performed for the intersections along Parrott Avenue.

Level of service is likely to remain at level of service D or better within the impact area. The intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue will remain the critical intersection within the area. Congestion is being experienced at this location at the current time due to the high volume of turning vehicles at the intersection and the limitation of space for additional turn lanes. This situation will continue to be a concern into the future as traffic volumes increase. ecr anon-°imandations The proposed project will generate a relatively large flow of traffic into and out of the proposed development site. The entrance of the project should be incorporated into the signal that exists at the intersection of SR 70 and 10th Avenue. This will require the signal facilities to be adjusted accordingly. A left turn lane at the project entrance will be needed. Based on the projected volumes entering from the west, this lane should be approximately 350 feet in length. With the growth in traffic expected within the region, a right turn lane should also be provided along with the development. This turn lane should be a minimum of 150 feet in length and should be channelized into the entrance in order to facilitate the right turn movement with a minimum of delay to traffic on SR 70. Although existing traffic signals in the area are not operating in a coordinated system, the signals at 8th Avenue and 10th Avenue should be considered for local coordination. A conduit system should be installed and the two signal controllers connected. \\pc\Employee\don-h\06.0162 Okee Commons.

LaRue, AICP Date: July 26, 2006 Subject: Large Scale Amendment #06-CI-002 CBC (Altobello) Amendment On May 23rd the LPA recommended approval for this request to Multi Family. While the applicant has presented some additional enviornmental back-up since the original staff report there still are concerns that the wetlands on the property need to be renourished and the larger area protected. Prior to submittal to DCA, the most significant wetlands area should be agreed to be placed in the Conservation Future Land Use Category. Staff had recommended that this request be placed in a newly created mixed use category which would solve two problems: (1) Allow a density involving a mix of housing products but having a cap of less than 10 units an acre for the whole parcel. The proposal of 229 dwelling units by the applicant could be accommodated; and (2) A mixed use category accommodates commercial uses while multifamily does not. There are still concerns about a marina being located on Taylor Creek even though there are rigorous agency approvals for such a use. Holding tanks and pump out facilities are necessary and some type of gasoline fuel/spill containment plan is needed if fueling is conducted at this site. There has been a traffic report provided but it fails to account for the impact of commercial/nonresidential uses even if it assesses multifamily density for the maximum density. Finally, there are specific "Best Management" Practices that should be included as narrative revisions to the Comprehensive Plan's Conservation Element if a mixed use as proposed is recommended for approval. These proposed policies will be discussed August ls` as part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment cycle. JGL:glp Proposed/Best Management Practices Possible Policy Recommendations To improve the water quality of Taylor Creek, the City should investigate setting limits as to the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus that can be discharged into the Creek The City shall consider whether a high standard for water quality would require new development stormwater treatment systems to be designed using a treatment train approach, using multiple Best Management Practices in series, to ensure maximum potential treatment of sormwater. The City shall cooperate and coordinate with the St. Johns River Water Management District and the South Florida Water Management District process for purposes of suggesting improvements to the water quality of Taylor Creek. The City shall begin the process of revaluating the transfer of development rights to allow for broader use of this function as an effective planning tool. The City, in order to protect surface water quality within its corporate limits and beyond, shall consider adopting a numerical standard for nutrients and pollutants of concern. The City shall evaluate opportunities to implement Okeechobee Utility Authority water quality treatment systems within the Taylor Creek area to improve the quality of surface water discharges. The quality of water to be discharged from new surface water management systems shall be subject to Federal, State, Regional and Local permitting programs and regulations that determine compliance with Federal, State and Local water quality standards. Stormwater discharges from development must meet relevant water quality 7-20-06 and surface water management standards as set forth in Rules 62-4, 62-40, 62-302, 40E- 4, F.A.C. and by local ordinance. The City shall require all new developments to meet the provisions of the SFWMD Volume IV, Basis of Review for Surface Water Management and local provisions pursuant to this Comprehensive Plan to protect surface water quality within the City. Grants and incentives should be sought for the development of surface water quality treatment system retrofitting projects for old and/or new surface water management systems that are not effectively managing water volume or flow, or removing nutrients and other pollutants. The City shall periodically review the Land Development Code to ensure all codes are conducive to the implementation of such water quality Best Management Practices. The City shall consider requiring future developments to employ the provisions of the Florida Yards and Neighborhoods program. The City shall require periodic updates of the current Wellfield Protection Ordinance. 7-20-06 P,7/27/2006 15:20 7722230220 lucldo &associates July 2% 2006 Betty Clement, General Services City of Okeechobee Planning Department 55 SE. 3'd Avenue Okeechobee, FL 34974 LUCIDOANDASSOCIATES • Via FAX:863-763-1686 RE : Taylor Creek Marina & Fishing Vil IAge — Future Land Use Amendment (LA ref. 40"35) Dear Ms. Clement - PAGE 01 A condition of the Local Planning Agency in t heir recommendation for approval of the noted future land use amendment was to provide a n iaximum residential unit count for the anticipated project.

We envision creating a "fishing village" using a mixed form of single family residences along with a marina, ship's store, limited retail/offices and common areas. The common areas will include a community pool, clubhouse, playground, and walking/biking nature trails overlooking the wetlands areas. We have included a conceptual plan as an overview of our preliminary vision for the PUD. The type of residences within the community will be standard single family residences, "cottages" and a form a zero lot line single family residences. The reduced lot size for the zero lot line dwellings will allow a greater portion of the development to be utilized as common areas. The change in the Comprehensive Plan Map to Residential General will enable us to submit for the PUD and create a planned community including designated recreation and nature areas. We believe the planned community concept provides a beautiful and desirable "village" for its residents. Sincerely, CBC Management Corp. Thomas C. Close, President • • o FrankAltobello, Trustee P. O.

Therefore, we are requesting that any new development being proposed within our county fully comply with the concurrency law passed during the 2005 legislative session. In part, the eoneurreney law requires that a standard level of service be adopted for school facilities and that standard of service be applied to all residential developments at the time of application for a site plan or at final approval of the development. The law further stipulates that a developer may satisfy school concufrency through mitigation proportionate to the demand of capacity. Mitigation may be satisfied by one or more of the following: contribution of land; payment for construction or land acquisition; school construction. However, the developer must execute a legally binding agreement with the local government and school board in order to satisfy mitigation requirements_ Senate Bill 360 is a "pay as you grow" plan which enables developers, local governments and school boards to partner as we experience the phenomenal growth anticipated within our state. We in Okeechobee County Schools look forward to Continuing our cooperative relationship with local govemment and private concerns as we keep this most important legislation in mind. Thank you.

Requ for Comprehensive Plan Amend nt Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential Consistency with Comprehensive Plan The following policies of the Comprehensive Plan are relevant to the subject request. The proposed amendment is consistent with these policies. As the CGMP has been found to be internally consistent, as required by State statutes, the proposed amendment is thus also consistent with the remainder of the Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1 — Please refer to the specific sections within this report that present an analysis of the potential demand from the proposed amendment if developed under a worst -case scenario of ten units per acre. In summary, all required public facilities will continue to operate at the required levels of service given existing or planned capacities. Policy 2.2 — The proposed amendment will not result in the loss of any property rights to adjacent land owners. Policy 7.2 — The proposed amendment will not result in an intensity of use that will disrupt the natural system. The existing site is devoid of native upland habitat. The protection of Taylor Creek will be demonstrated through the local government site specific development application. Policy 9.1 through 9.3 — The proposed amendment is consistent with the stated goals of the Resource Management Plan for the Lower Kissimmee River and Taylor Creek Drainage Basins. Given the requirements of the local government and federal and state permitting agencies. the protection of Taylor Creek will be demonstrated through the local government site specific development application. Transportation Element Policy 8.1 and 8.2 — The proposed amendment is consistent with these policies as demonstrated by the traffic analysis presented. The analysis indicates that the surrounding road network can accommodate the incremental demand that would potentially occur if developed under its worst case scenario of ten units per acre. The analysis utilizes slightly different acreages than those obtained from the legal and sketches due to the timing of each product. However, since the traffic analysis is based on a higher acreage, it represents an even more conservative analysis. Housing Element Policy 1.1 and 1.11 — The proposed amendment further implements these policies by allocating additional residential densities near facilities and services where a full complement of public facilities will be available concurrent with the demand. Conservation Element Policy 2.2 and 3.3 — The proposed land use change does not affect the quality or quantity of groundwater and does not endanger any existing native vegetative communities. Such a determination can only be made upon submittal of a site specific development plan. Regulations of the SFWMD dictate that post development conditions must not affect the quality or quantity of groundwater. The Page 1 CBC Management Corp Kequest for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential existing site is devoid of native habitats except for the large wetland that will be preserved/mitigated as allowed by the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan. Policy 4.4 — The designation of the existing wetland as Conservation pursuant to this policy shall be accomplished through the approval of site specific development plans and required agency permits that require conservation easements over all existing natural systems to remain. At that time, the City may elect to seek an amendment of the land use to Conservation. Recreation Policy 1.2 — The change in future land use will not reduce the compatibility standards between the proposed use and any existing or proposed recreation areas. Compliance with State Growth Manaaement Reauirements. Florida's Department of Community Affairs evaluates local plan amendments for consistency with Rule 9-J5, Florida Administrative Code, which sets out criteria for determining whether a proposed plan amendment demonstrates consistency with the mandates of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act and the State Comprehensive Plan. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed plan amendment is consistent with all state requirements. Since the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan has been found to be consistent with all state requirements, a demonstration of compliance of the proposed amendment with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan in turn demonstrates compliance with all state requirements. Please refer to the section titled Compliance with City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan for the applicant's demonstration of compliance. In addition, the proposed future land use must not encourage urban sprawl as outlined in Sections 9J5- 006.(5)(g) through (5)(j) of the Florida Administrative Code. The noted regulations set forth the major components of a methodology to determine the presence of urban sprawl. Paragraph (5)(g) identifies 13 primary indicators of urban sprawl which are to be applied and analyzed as set forth in the rule. Paragraph (5)(h) describes how land use aspects of a plan shall be analyzed. The land use element, including both the future land use map and associated objectives and policies, represents the focal point of the local government's planning effort. Paragraph (5)(i) describes the unique features and characteristics of each jurisdiction which provide the context of the analysis and which are needed to evaluate the extent, amount or frequency of an indicator and the significance of an indicator for a specific jurisdiction. Paragraph (5)(j) recognizes that land use plans generally may be significantly affected by other development policies in a plan which may serve to mitigate the presence of urban sprawl indicators based on the land use plan alone. Paragraph (5)(j) describes development controls which may be used by a local government to mitigate the presence of sprawl. In general, Section 9J-5.006(5)(1) states that provision of innovative planning such as urban villages, new towns, satellite communities, area -based allocations, clustering and open space provisions, mixed - use development and sector planning that allow the conversion of rural and agricultural lands to other uses will be recognized as methods of discouraging urban sprawl and will be determined consistent with the provisions of the state comprehensive plan, regional policy plans, Chapter 163, Part 11, F.S., and the Florida Administrative Code regarding discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl. As such, the proposed future land use amendment to the New Community Development district, which requires Page 2 CBC Management Corp. Reque for Comprehensive Plan Amend nt Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential the creation of mixed -use development, urban villages, and open space, is thus consistent with the requirements for discouraging urban sprawl. Nevertheless, a detailed urban sprawl analysis is provided below. Our analysis of consistency is provided within a text block following each indicator. Analysis of primary indicators 1. Promotes, allows or designates for development substantial areas of the jurisdiction to develop as low -intensity, low -density, or single -use development or uses in excess of demonstrated need. The proposed request to Multifamily Residential will actually increase densities within the City of Okeechobee in close proximity to the urban center. 2. Promotes, allows or designates significant amounts of urban development to occur in rural areas at substantial distances from existing urban areas while leaping over undeveloped lands which are available and suitable for development. The proposed request to Multifamily Residential will actually increase densities within the City of Okeechobee in close proximity to the urban center. The proposed request is also adjacent to an existing designation of Multifamily Residential on the future land use map. 3. Promotes, allows or designates urban development in radial, strip, isolated or ribbon patterns generally emanating from existing urban developments. The location of the proposed future land use amendment is not in a radial, strip, isolated or ribbon pattern generally emanating from existing urban developments. 4. As a result of premature or poorly planned conversion of rural land to other uses, fails adequately to protect and conserve natural resources, such as wetlands, floodplains, native vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas, lakes, rivers, shorelines, beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other significant natural systems. The proposed request to a Multifamily Residential future land use will not result in the premature or poorly planned conversion of rural land to other uses. Adequate site design techiques will be employed to adequately to protect and conserve natural resources, such as wetlands, floodplains, native vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas, lakes, rivers, shorelines, beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other significant natural systems. 5. Fails adequately to protect adjacent agricultural areas and activities, including silviculture, and including active agricultural and silvicultural activities as well as passive agricultural activities and dormant, unique and prime farmlands and soils. The location of the proposed future land use amendmentis within the existing boundaries of City's corporate limits and is removed from any existing agricultural uses. 6. Fails to maximize use of existing public facilities and services. The proposed site will be served by a full complement of existing urban services Page 3 CBC Management Corp Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential 7. Fails to maximize use of future public facilities and services. A higher utilization of this site will ensure that future publc services are minimized within outlining areas 8. Allows for land use patterns or timing which disproportionately increase the cost in time, money and energy, of providing and maintaining facilities and services, including roads, potable water, sanitary sewer, stormwater management, law enforcement, education, healthcare, fire and emergency response, and general government. The proposed site will be served by a full complement of existing urban services. Because the property has been planned for "next -in -line" development, it will enable public facilities and services to be extended in an orderly manner without disproportionate increases in cost. 9. Fails to provide a clear separation between rural and urban uses. The proposed site is surrounded by other lands within the City of Okeechobee's coporate limits and thereby maintains clear separation between urban and rural uses. 10. Discourages or inhibits infill development or the redevelopment of existing neighborhoods and communities. The proposed request provides for an opportunity to develop multifamily housing that is currently lacking to a large degree within the City. 11. Fails to encourage an attractive and functional mix of uses. The proposed site, being within the City and adjacent to equal or higher intensity lands, will provide for an attractive and functional mix of uses. 12. Results in poor accessibility among linked or related land uses. The proposed project will provide for reasonable connections to surrounding development to ensure among linked or related land uses. 13_ The proposed change will not result in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space The proposed change will not result in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space. The existing use does not provide functional open space. With the conversion to a Multifamily Residential future land use and the development of a mixed use project of housing, shops, marina, restaurants, etc., the proposed land use will provide significant amounts of functional open space that will be planned for active and passive recreation by residents of the new community and others. Encroachment of Incompatible develoament As the City of Okeechobee has developed, US-441 south has developed as an area of mixed commercial and residential uses from hotels, restaurants, and other service businesses to repair shops and retail stores. The residential uses in the area though have remained largely the same stock that has been in place for a number of years. US-441 has also been expanded and a full complement of urban services are available along the corridor. Page 4 RequoCBC Management Corp. for Comprehensive Plan Amend nt Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential The subject site is bound on the east by Taylor Creek and the west by developed commercial land fronting SR-441 with a Commercial future land use designation. To the north lies an existing single- family development known as Taylor Creek with a Single Family Residential future land use designation. This development is separated from the subject site by S.E. 81h Street and can be adequately buffered through internal buffering provisions. To the south lies vacant land with a Multifamily Residential future land use designation which is under the same ownership as the subject parcel. Given the adjacent existing and future land uses, the proposed request for Multifamily Residential future land use will not result in the encroachment of incompatible development. Natural resource protection Please refer to the enclosed environmental assessment conducted for the entire property holdings including the 38 acres subject to the request for a future land use amendment. The site is mostly devoid of native habitat except for largest wetland system. However, as stated in the assessment, the hydrology of the cypress slough on the southwestern side of the site has been restricted to the point that subsidence of the soil is clearly evident. If this condition continues, the cypress canopy will eventually be replaced with upland species. Transportation Please refer to the enclosed traffic statement. The analysis utilizes slightly different acreages than those obtained from the legal and sketches due to the timing of each product. However, since the traffic analysis is based on a higher acreage, it represents an even more conservative analysis. Schools Currently, the Okeechobee County School District has adequate capacity at the middle and upper school levels; however, the elementary school system is currently at capacity. The School Board has programmed additional elementary school capacity through the State's Rural Schools Program. Funding has been requested through the legislative delegation. Appropriation is expected in FY2007 with construction to commence by 2008. The Okeechobee School District has utilized this funding source for expansion to the school system in the past. The timing is concurrent with the expected timeframe of proposed project. The request for a future land use amendment is expected to be transmitted to the State Department of Community Affairs by mid- 2006 with final adoption expected by late-2006. With the State's new requirements for public school concurrency passed during the 2005 legislative session, the proposed project is expected to meet the concurrency requirements through mitigation proportionate to the demand for capacity as allowed by State statutues. As the local government application for site plan approval is not expected to be submitted until late-2006, with approval granted in mid-2007, the certainty of the funding program for the additional capacity will be in place. Site construction would then commence with the first certificate of occupancy in 2008 — the expected timeline for the construction of the new elementary school. Please refer to the enclosed letter of Okeechobee County School Board for confirmation Page 5 CBC Management Corp Kequest for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential The closest elementary school, Central Elementary, is located at 610 S.W. Fifth St. The middle school is located at 825 S.W. 28`h St. The high school is located at 2800 N.W. Highway 441 North. Water & Wastewater The water and wastewater service for this project is provided by the Okeechobee Utility Authority. Application for capacity reservation has been submitted to OUA. The following is an analysis of the water and wastewater flows for the property with its existing future land use designation of Residential Single Family allowing up to four units per acre. Based upon this criterion, the 33 acre parcel would allow for up to 132 single family residential units to be constructed on this site. The balance of the site (approximately 4.5 acres) does not currently contain a development allowance. With each unit individually metered, the estimated water and wastewater flows are as follows: Existing Conditions Use Units Rate Gallons per day Single Family 132 250 GPD—water 33,000 Residential 250 GPD - sewer 33,000 The following is an analysis of the water and wastewater flows for the property with the proposed future land use designation allowing up to 10 units per acre. The analysis is based upon maximum development scenario of 380 units based upon the 38 acre site. With each unit individually metered, the estimated water and wastewater flows are as follows: Proposed Conditions Use Area Rate Gallons per day Multi Family 380 units 250 GPD — water 95,000 Residential 250 GPD - sewer 95,000 Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants Based on information obtained from the 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 1.0 mgd. The Okeechobee Utility Authority is currently in the construction phase of additional filters which will bring the wastewater treatment plant to a temporary capacity of 1.23 mgd. This work should be completed by June 2006. Additionally, the wastewater treatment plant is under a design/permitting phase for an expansion of 3.0 mgd that will bring the total treatment plant capacity to 4.0 mgd and should be operational by June 2008. The average daily flow of the combined water treatment plant finished water production is 1.93 mgd for the period of January 2005 through December 2005. The average daily flow of the wastewater Page 6 CBC Management Corp. Reclumfor Comprehensive Plan Amendont Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential treatment plant is 0.89 mgd for the same time period. The Okeechobee Utility Authority reports an outstanding water treatment plant flow commitment of approximately 0.25 mgd with an outstanding wastewater treatment plant flow commitment of approximately 0.1 mgd. Based upon these figures and as stated in the attached service availability letter, the Okeechobee Utility Authority will have on or before June 2008 adequate capacity to serve the proposed demand created by the increased density of the proposed future land use amendment. Police Please refer to the enclosed letter of service availability from the City of Okeechobee Police Department. The nearest police station is 50 S.E. Second Ave. 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 already allocated for residential development and is within the service area approximately one mile from the site. Fire Please refer to the enclosed letter of service availability from the City of Okeechobee Fire Department. The nearest fire station is located at 55 S.E. Third Ave. 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 already allocated for residential development and is within the service area approximately one mile from the site. Solid Waste The City of Okeechobee's solid waste level of service is 13 pounds per capita per day and a three year availability of landfill capacity. Given the maximum number of potential units of 380 with 2.5 person per dwelling, the maximum demand for the project would be approximately 12,350 punds per day. The City of Okeechobee does not operate solid waste landfills. Currently, the landfill is operated by Okeechobee County. As such, the City does not incur any capital expenditures. A letter from the solid waste service provider, Waste Management pertaining to solid waste service availability is attached. According to Okeechobee County, the existing landfill has surplus capacity in excess of three years. Stormwater Management Except for the native wetland which occupies about eight acres, the project site has been altered from its original condition and is currently in use as improved pasture The existing stormwater management system consists of a shallow interconnected ditch system with outfall directly to Taylor Creek. 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 Page 7 CBC Management Corp tcequest for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential minimized by on -site detention within the stormwater management system. The ultimate site discharge will be to Taylor Creek. 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. The drainage system will be owned, operated and maintained by a public entity or a responsible property owners association acceptable to the City and the SFWMD. Historical on -site wetlands will be maintained as part of the surface water management system. There are no Outstanding Florida Waters, Florida Aquatic Preserves or Florida Class I or II waters occurring within or abutting the project site. 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. The project is located entirely in Zone X according to the Okeechobee County FEMA FIRM panel Map Index. According to the Map Index, the applicable FIRM panel is not printed because the entire panel is located in Zone X. Zone X is defined as "Areas of 500-year flood; areas of 100-year flood with average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas less than 1 square mile; and areas protected by levees from 100-year flood". Please refer to the FEMA map. There are currently no known flooding or erosion control problems associated with the project site. No 100-year flood prone areas exist on site, therefore no structures, roadways or utilities are proposed within any 100-year flood prone areas. There are no existing wellfields located within two miles of the project site. Parks and Recreation The project will be designed to provide residents with a variety of recreational facilities and open spaces to ensure the community's quality of life. No land will be removed that was previously used by residents of the region for any recreational use. No existing recreational trail is designated across the property. Therefore, the project doesn't have the potential for impacting a recreational trail designated pursuant to Chapter 260, F.S. and Chapter 16D-7, F.A.C. The City's adopted level of service standard for recreation and parks is 3.0 acres per 1,000 people. Based on the estimated population of 950 people (38 acres x 10 upa x 2.5 ppd), the project's minimum acreage requirement for recreation and park space is approxmately 3 acres. The project will meet the Page 8 CBC Management Corp. Reclue for Comprehensive Plan Amend nt Future Land Use Change from Single -Family Residential to Multifamily Residential park and open space mandates through on -site facilites and provision of impact fees. The planned system of parks and open spaces is consistent with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan. Historical/Archeological Resources There are no known archeological or historical sites within the project boundaries. A request has been sent to the Florida Division of Historic Resources. Given the improvements made to date (improved pasture), the likelihood of the presence of a historic or archeological site regarded as potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Sites to occur on the parcel is limited. Hurricane Preparedness According to information in the Treasure Coast Transportation Analysis Hurricane Evacuation Study Update 2003, dated November 2003, the property is not located in any storm surge zone. The property is not within the Category 3 Hurricane Evacuation Area. It is estimated that the majority of people will remain in their homes within the project during a hurricane event, due to the project location relative to the Atlantic coastline. However, in the event of a significant hurricane, the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may activate evacuation shelters throughout the County as it deems necessary. The evacuation shelters are typically opened in areas within the hurricane's 100-mile path. Many of the public schools in Okeechobee County serve as evacuation shelters. US-441, directly adjacent to the project site, is the closest evacuation route. Additionally, SR-70, approximately 1 mile to the north will assist in evacuation of the area by providing additional evacuation routes. All traffic control devices will utilize hurricane tested mast arms and street lights further minimizing service interruptions and enhancing safety prior to, during, and after a major hurricane. It should also be noted that due to recent changes to the Florida Building Code, specifically, Chapter 16, Structural Design, as well as the construction methods to be used in the project, the residential homes will provide shelter for residents during hurricane events. As a result of the changes in the construction process, residents will have safer and more secure homes, thereby reducing evacuation volumes and shelter space requirements. In addition, underground utilities will be used throughout the development reducing potential service interruptions. Finally, additional mitigation measures for special needs populations will be determined through the local government approval process of the Planned Unit Development.

These three parcels total approximately 60 acres. Wetlands were identified, delineated and flagged on the site. In addition, the site was inspected for flora and fauna that are listed on the state and federal threatened and endangered species list by Mark Youmans of Jerner and Associates, Inc. These site inspections occurred over the course of several separate visits in the summer of 2005. Follow-up surveys by Survco Inc. placed the wetland boundary on a certified land survey. The wetlands were verified by Stephanie Raymond from the South Florida Water Management (SFWMD) on January 22, 2005. On February 8, 2006, Andy Phillips from the Anny Corps of Engineers (ACOE) verified the consultant's jurisdiction wetland findings during a joint site visit. Three minor wetland areas were added to the wetland inventory. This information is included on the attached site map (Exhibit B). A [-'I-( VCS map is included as Exhibit C. Conclusion: Although the three additional wetland areas are updated on the attached site map, the certified land survey has not yet been updated to include them. This will take place within the next few weeks as scheduling permits. During the course of the field work,,,Mark Youmans of Jerner and Associates, Inc. also searched for Flora. and Fauna that are listed on the state and federal threatened and endangered species list. No threatened or endangered species have been located on site This finding was verified by the staff from SFWMD and ACOE. A list of all plant species identified on site is included as Exhibit A. It is of special concern that many of the heavily vegetated/forested areas contain large percentages of invasive/exotic plant species that are displacing the native plants. It is recommended that any mitigation plans proposed for this project include plans to eliminate the invasive/exotic species on site. In addition, the hydrology of the cypress slough on the southwestern side of the site has been restricted to the point that subsidence of the soil is clearly evident. If this condition continues, the cypress canopy will eventually be replaced with upland species. Please see the attached exhibits (A, B & C) for further information.

Containing 32.97 acres, more or less. The matter before the Land Planning Agency and the City Council is a request to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for the above described property from Single Family to Multi - Family. The request is more specifically shown on Exhibit A attached. Since the property in question is over 10 acres (37.48 acres), this application qualifies under Florida Statutes 163 as a "Large -Scale Amendment" to the Plan. More than likely, the subject property will be combined with contiguous property, already in a Multi -Family category to make a total development. North. . FLUM'Classification: 'Singie Family Zoning District: RMH Existing Land Use.

The subject property is currently vacant and unplatted. The subject property is located along Taylor Creek, parallel to US 441. The applicant intends to develop the property to accommodate the proposed project known as the Taylor Creek Fishing Village. This development is purported to contain a total of 229 dwelling units consisting of a mix of residential uses along with commercial and Marina uses although it is somewhat unclear as to the proposed mix of uses contemplated. There is a "bubble" map interaction and overall plan of development. 2 Staff Report Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Comprehensive Plan Analysis: Applicant: CBC Management Corp. 06-C1-002 The City Council and Local Planning Agency are required to address certain uses in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan, which may be categorized as follows: A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. This Large Scale Plan Amendment application speaks about a mixed -use development but there is little data explaining and supporting this approach or justifying the request of Multi -Family Residential for the entire parcel. Objective 2: The City of Okeechobee will ensure that all new development is consistent with the Future Land Use Element. Policy 2.1: The following land use designations are established for the purpose of managing future growth: (b) Multi -family Residential. Permitted uses include apartments, duplexes, condominiums, single-family houses and public facilities. Maximum density shall not exceed 10 units per acre. Where affordable housing is provided in accordance with Housing Policy 1.6, the maximum density for multi -family development shall be 1 I units per acre. As submitted, the application and supporting documentation is insufficient to support the change from Single Family to Multi -Family. Given its proximity to Taylor Creek, the Comprehensive Plan states that the City must protect environmentally sensitive areas from high density development such as what can be built under the Multi -Family Future Land Use category by the applicant. Because of the property's proximity to Taylor Creek, Policy 7.2 of the Comprehensive Plan must be adhered to and the applicant hasn't given supporting evidence of that. The inclusion of a Marina with 96 slips and a fuel dock has also not been assessed with regard to this Policy. Policy 7.2: The City shall continue to protect environmentally sensitive areas from development of a type and intensity which would disrupt their natural functions. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the proposed realistic impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The below is the anticipated flow for the proposed 320 units is expected to be approximately 95,000 GPD. The existing capacity of the 3 Staff Report 0 ApplicafkBC Management Corp. Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment 06-C1-002 surface and ground water supply plants are 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development but recent approvals have not been considered in this assessment of remaining water capacity. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/ capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). The estimated wastewater flows for the subject property would be 95,000 GPD. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a minimum of 300,000 GPD of excess capacity. The OUA has stated that plans are underway to construct an addition to the plant which will permit an additional 3 MGD. It should be noted that the City has received several recent Plan Amendments counting on future sewer plant expansion. A better analysis showing committed service needs to be shown. Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 lbs/capita/day and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would generate approximately 12,350 lbs/day of solid waste. The applicant must provide a letter from Okeechobee County determining whether the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code. Because of the vulnerability of Taylor Creek, there needs to be a more specific delineation of the Best Management Practices used for water quality enhancement in stormwater discharges. Recreation and Open Space: The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's population by approximately 950 additional people. The development would need approximately 3 acres of recreational facilities in order to meet the adopted LOS for parks. The applicant has stated that this would be met with the provision of on -site facilities, but this doesn't seem completely consistent with the intent of the Recreation and Open Space LOS Standards of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. In addition, Objective 9 of the Traffic Circulation Element states: Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future Level of Service Standard deterioration, particularly along US Highway 441 and SR 70. 11 Staff Report Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: CBC Management Corp. 06-Ci-002 The subject property would be serviced by US 441. The applicant has provided a traffic analysis which showed that traffic would be impacted by the proposed development. It was estimated that the proposed land use would result in an increase of 666 daily trips and 40 PM peak hour trips with 33 more trips in and 7 more trips out. This traffic study is being examined but it does not seem that the traffic analysis has contemplated any of the Commercial, Non -Residential or Marina impacts. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land use change to Multi -Family at ten dwelling units an acre for the entire site is not compatible for this location. There has not been shown enough supporting data to indicate that this level of density is needed for this site. If the true intent of future development for this site equates to a Single Family density, then perhaps a new Future Land Use category should be suggested. Given the property's proximity to Taylor Creek, staff is concerned that development might negatively impact this environmentally sensitive area. The Taylor Creek right-of- way per recorded plat should be recognized as non -buildable. It is not clear who is being asked to abandon the Taylor Creek right-of-way. Future Land Use Policy 2.3: The City shall continue to require that all development proposals be accompanied by an inventory of wetlands, soils posing severe limitation to construction, unique habitat, City shall further require that the extent to which any development or redevelopment is proposed to be placed in/on, to disturb, or to alter the natural functions of any of these resources, be identified. Such identification shall occur at a phase in the development review process that provides the opportunity for the City to review the proposed project to ensure that direct and irreversible impacts on the identified resources are minimized, or in the extreme, mitigated. Where development is determined to encroach upon a resource, the City shall require a specific Management Plan to be prepared by the developer, which results in no net loss of wetlands and which includes necessary modifications to the proposed development, specific setback and buffers, and clustering of development away from site resources, to ensure the protection, preservation or natural functions of the resource. The minimum buffer for wetlands shall be 25 feet and the average of all setbacks from the wetland resource shall be 40 feet. Areas designated as buffers shall preserve all natural vegetative cover, except where drainageways and access paths are approved to cross the buffer. Buffers may be supplemented only with native tress, shrubs and ground covers. 5 Staff Report • Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applica,CBC Management Corp. 06-C1-002 to Policy 7.1: The City shall continue to amend and enforce land development regulations consistent with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) Best Management Practices referenced in Policy 1.4, which will minimize the flow into Taylor Creek of organic nutrients, pesticides, sediment, and other substances having the potential to degrade water quality. The applicant has done a brief Florida Land Use Cover & Classification Systems (FLUCCS) analysis on this property but no Management Plan has been suggested to ensure there is not a loss of wetlands. It would seem that there could be an enhancement of some of these wetlands areas rather than just concluding that these areas are marginal. Conservation Element Policy 4.1: Through Future Land Use Policy 2.3 and implementing Land Development Regulations, the City shall continue to conserve wetlands and protect water quality in Taylor Creek from adverse impacts of development. Policy 5.1: The City shall enforce provisions in its Land Development Regulations to ensure that new development, regardless of its location in the City, meets the following conditions: (a) does not degrade water quality in Taylor Creek; (b) does not threaten groundwater quality, particularly in the vicinity of municipal wells; (c) preserves existing wetland areas; (d) avoids the disturbance of natural drainage features; and (e) preserves habitat for endangered and/or threatened wildlife species. In examining the above Policies, there is not enough supporting evidence to indicate that the wetlands and natural resource areas will be adequately protected. Also, there might be measures to revitalize the wetland areas that haven't been suggested. Postponing the addressing of this until Site Plan time isn't adequately responding to this issue and is more prevalent in poorly planned conversion of rural properties, a characteristic of Urban Sprawl. Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended within the Comprehensive Plan, do not support an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. The proposal would be more consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan by following Single Family densities. I Staff Report Applicant: CBC Management Corp. Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment 06-C1-002 Consistency. . - - - Plan The existing Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies will not support Multi -Family uses at this location. Therefore, it should be recommended that the City Council find the application not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. If mixed -uses are warranted at this property, perhaps a new Future Land Use category can be suggested that would provide performance standards and allow development at a lower density. Affachments Attachments to this Staff Report include a copy of the Future Land Use Map indicating the location of the subject property. Assessment and Conclusions Staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map to Multi - Family based on the above inconsistencies to the City's Comprehensive Plan.

LARGE SCALE PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. B. Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-CI-002 continued. 2006 - Land - Page 10 of 13 Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. The Comprehensive Plan describes the Commercial Future Land Use category in the Future Land Use Element. It states: Policy 2.1(c): Commercial. Permitted uses include office, retail, automotive, wholesale, and related Commercial activities. Also permitted are public facilities. Commercial development shall not exceed a floor area ratio of 3.00 and the maximum impervious surface for development within this category shall not exceed 85 percent of the site. Under the proposed Commercial Future Land Use category, the applicant would be allowed to develop the subject property with the Retail/Commercial uses. However, there is more data necessary to be shown illustrating that this presently designated residential area should become an intensive retail high impact location. (B) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the proposed impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided by the applicant, this data is required. The existing capacity of the water supply plant is 6 MGI), with 2_5 MGD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The applicant would need to suhinit a letter to the City which discusses the anticipated flow for the development and that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development. There should also be a deduction of water use for already approved developments because the cumulative impact has not been contemplated should all approved developments are built. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/ capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property would be cannot be determined at this time. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a minimum of 300,000 GPD of excess capacity. The OUA has stated that plans are underway to construct an addition to the plant which will permit an additional 3 MGD. This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008. The applicant would need to verify that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 lbs/capita/day and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The impacts of the proposed development will be minimal as the uses will be Commercial in nature. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code. There should be at least a conceptual understanding of how stormwater discharge will be handled for what is obviously going to be the creation of impervious areas. 2006 - Land Planninu Agencv - Pn.2 11 of 13 VII. LARGE SCALE PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. B. Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-CI-002 continued. Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (B) continued: Recreation and Open Space: The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is Commercial in nature and is not expected to impact parks. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. The subject property is serviced by SR 70. The applicant has not provided a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed Development would impact the surrounding roadway network. Objective 9 and its corresponding policies (Traffic Circulation Element) states: Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future level of service standard deterioration, particularly along US Highwa 441 and SR 70. Policy 9.1: To assist in improving level of service standards, Commerci redevelopment efforts shall be prioritized to mitigate existing "strip" Commercial sites. Policy 9.2: Access points to Commercial centers shall be limited, where feasible, to decrease traffic congestions along City arterials and other roadways. Policy 9.3: Efforts shall be made, where appropriate, to separate local traffic from through traffic in Commercial areas. The applicant must submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates that the above polices will be met and that the Level of Service would not be degraded for the sui-roun(' dinroads. Such analysis should include the anticipated trips from the Commercial property to the east. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed change to Commercial has been stated by the applicant that it would not negatively impact surrounding properties. The proposed type of Commercial uses and usage of buffers should be demonstrated before compatibility can be assumed. (D) Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies (as they are intended) in the Comprehensive Plan would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Commercial should compatibility, acceptable impacts on traffic, sewer, water and overall fiscal feasibility resulting from this re -designation, can b� shown by supporting data and analysis. Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: Staff does not recommend for approval of applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map to Commercial. Mr. Mark Mathes of Lucido and Associates, representative for applicant CBC Close Construction, and on behalf of the property owner Frank Altobello stated, Mr. Close has a strong desire to see the City prosper and is aware of the need for housing. He distributed an aerial map with the land use overlay indicating vacant multi -family parcels. He noted that there were no properties that exceeds five acres. VII.

The data for the pottable water has been completed with OUA, and that the OUA also used the proposed property development for their stormwater study project. The solid waste analysis shows a capacity for up to 50 years. A traffic analysis was provided showing the roads will be able to service the extra impact. Agency Member Burroughs asked what was the purpose of the wave attenuator? Ms. Mary Haaksma, also from CBC Close Construction, replied that it is to keep the shoreline from eroding, and the waters calm. Mr. O'Connor asked Mr. LaRue whether all the additional requested information had been answered? Mr. LaRue replied yes, most of them were, but he still needed the site specifics density or cap for the residential area. Mr. Mathes responded that at this time they had no numbers available.

InSite Development Group Petition No. 06-013-SSA Staff Report Applicant: Steven L. Dobbs InSite Development Group Small -Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 06-013-SSA General Information Legal Description: All of Block 12: Lots 1, 2, 3 and 9 (less the East 32.50 feet of 9) and 10 to 20 of Block 21; all of Block 22, OKI"IECHOBEE, according to the plat ihercol recorded in Plat Book 5, Page 5, of the Public Records of Okeechobee County, Florida. The matter for consideration is for an Amendment to the City of Okeechobee's Future Land Use Map from Single Family to Multi -Family to allow a multi -family housing development on the subject property. Based on the size of the property (9.195 acres), this application qualifies under Chapter 163, F.S., as a Small -Scale Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Concurrent with this request, the applicant is also requesting a rezoning for the subject property from RSF-1 to RMF. }sA� }(�y Zoning;District: RSF-1 roc-Kff.q :�aIRIN, s,.. ,riT, " Zoning District: RMF Staff Report Small -Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment .,pplicant: Steven L. Dobbs InSite Development Group Petition No. 06-013-SSA The applicant is requesting the Multi -Family Future Land Use category to develop 9.195 acres of land as a multi -family development. The Multi -Family category would allow apartments, duplexes, and condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre. This could allow up to 92 units on the subject property. The surrounding area to the east (Block 20) has been recently converted to Multi - Family Residential Future Land Use but is still vacant. 2 C� Staff Report Applicant: Steven L. Dobbs InSite Development Group Small -Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 06-013-SSA A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. As proposed, the applicant's request for multifamily is consistent with the multifamily Future Land Use Category of the City's Comprehensive Plan. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities Water is available to the subject property. It has been clarified that sewer capacity is present. Impacts to traffic for this property and including the contiguous property have been assessed in a traffic impact study. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses The proposed land is in a transitional neighborhood and it is consistent with the multifamily to the East and is basically compatible with other adjacent and nearby uses. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended, do allow for a Small Scale Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. This proposed change at this time is consistent with the above Objectives and Policies. Analysis and Conclusions This application and its appearance before the Council and the LPA was duly noticed for the public in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. Based on a recently submitted traffic study and new information substantiating capacity for sewer and water, and school impacts, this application for increased density is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval.

Dobbs Rudd Jones, P.E_ & Associates, P.A. 210 N_W_ Park Street, Suite 204 Okeechobee,FL 34974 Re: Southern Trace Dear Mr. Dobbs: Thank you for the information regarding the above -mentioned proposed project. As you are aware, we are experiencing unprecedented growth within our county which has the potential of greatly impacting our school population. Therefore, we are requesting that any new development being proposed within our county fully comply with the concurrency law passed during the 2005 legislative session. In part, the concurrency law requires that a standard level of service be adopted for school facilities and that standard of service be applied to all residential developments at the time of application for a site plan or at final approval of the development. The law further stipulates that a developer may satisfy school concurrency through mitigation proportionate to the demand of capacity. Mitigation may be satisfied by one or more of the following: contribution of land; payment for construction or land acquisition; school construction. However, the developer must execute a legally binding agreement with the local government and school board in order to satisfy mitigation requirements. We are enclosing a copy of the amended Interlocal Agreement approved by the School Board at its June 13, 2006 meeting. This agreement is now being sent to both the City Council and County Commission for their review and approval. Once all entities have agreed upon the revisions dealing with concurrency, the stipulations will be in force. Senate Bill 360 is a "pay as you grow" plan which enables developers, local governments and school boards to partner as we experience the phenomenal growth anticipated within our state. We in Okeechobee County Schools look forward to continuing our cooperative relationship with local government and private concerns as we keep this most important legislation in mind. Thank you.

VOTE LEDFERD - YEA BURROUGHS - YEA KELLER - YEA MAXWELL - YEA MCCOY - YEA O'CONNOR - YEA MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Jim LaRue, City Planner reviewed the application with the Board. Planning Staff Report Summary: The applicant is requesting the Multi -Family Future Land Use category to develop 9.195 acres of land as a multi -family development. The Multi -Family category would allow apartments, duplexes, and condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre. This could allow up to 92 units on the subject property. The surrounding area to the East (Block 20) has been recently converted to Multi -Family Residential Future Land Use but is still vacant.

Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06- 013-SSA continued. Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. As proposed, the applicant's request does not show adequate data and analysis to support a conversion to the Multi -Family Land Use category as shown in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. (B) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Water is available to the subject property. It is not clear whether sewer is available and with recent conversions from Single Family there needs to be some acknowledgment of past approval impacts. Impacts to traffic and schools have not been assessed. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land is in a transitional neighborhood and it is difficult to know whether it will be compatible with the adjacent and nearby uses. (D) Compliance with Specific Standard of the Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended, allow for a Small Scale Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. This proposed change at this time is not consistent with the above Objectives and Policies. Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: This application and its appearance before the Council and Planning Board was duly noticed for the public in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. Based on the application being inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends denial to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single Family to Multi -Family. Mr. LaRue noted that the land was contiguous to a previous submitted application and that to be eligible for Small Scale Application, Department of Community Affairs (DCA) requires 1,000 feet between properties that are being changed. He suggested the application continue through the process, with DCA determining whether or not it should be approved as a small scale. Board Member McCoy asked what would the consequences be? Mr. LaRue answered that DCA would require it to be processed with the next large scale amendments. Mr. LaRue then addressed the traffic analysis provided by InSite Development. Copies of Mr. LaRue's transportation planners notes were distributed. It appears the traffic analysis data provides adequate results that it will not over burden the area, due to the proximity of North Parrott Avenue via Northwest 9`' and I Ith Streets.

Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-013- In regards to sewer capacity, Mr. Dobbs stated that a developer's agreement for at least 100 units SSA continued. was being finalized between the Okeechobee Utility Authority and the developer. Schools capacity impacts were discussed with Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. Cooper. She noted that the schools are close to capacity, but that 25 additional children would not throw them into turmoil. Board Member Maxwell asked whether any of the units were grants funded or had any type of rent • subsidy? Mr. Dobbs replied there will be 250 townhouses for sale at full built -out, which includes this property along with the surrounding property. Board Member O'Connor asked whether there was any documentation from Mrs. Cooper confirming the non -impact? Mr. Dobbs answered that he had a letter. Mr. O'Connor suggested it be provided when the matter goes to the City Council. The Board asked Mr. LaRue whether he still recommends denial with all the documentation that has been provided? Mr. LaRue answered that after the traffic study, he feels less concerned. and the other two items were addressed appropriately, he will modify the Staff Report from denial to approval before the application goes to City Council. Board Member Maxwell asked whether there were any comments against the development from the surrounding property owners? None were received. Chairperson Ledferd asked whether there • were any comments, or questions from the public. There were none. Board Member McCoy moved to find Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-013-SSA consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and recommend approval to the City Council; seconded by Board Member Burroughs.

Petition No. 06-011-R The applicant is requesting the RMF Zoning to develop 9.195 acres of land as a multi -family development. The applicant is also requesting the Multi -Family category would allow apartments, duplexes, and condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre. This could allow up to 92 units on the subject property. Analysis 11 -- 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. As proposed, the applicant's request would be consistent with the proposed Multi -Family Land Use category as intended in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulotiotzs. The RMF Zoning District allows a variety of uses, including multi -family housing. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. The existing neighborhood reflects transitional level of residential intensity. The applicant, in a separate application had applied for and received a rezoning for property immediately east of the subject property (Blocks 4 and 13) in March. This area is being rezoned in relation to the previous application. 4. The 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. With the area changing the use is appropriate for this location especially in light from the subject of the adjacent property which was amended and rezoned in March. 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 will not adversely affect living conditions of the adjacent properties. PA Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Steven L. Dobbs, P.E. Petition No. 06-011-R 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 If granted, buffering would be determined during the site plan review phase. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. Based on new information from the Okeechobee Utility Authority that sewer capacity is present and can be accommodated by agreement, the proposed change in density pattern should not over burden public facilities. There is a letter from the School Board Officials indicating that the impacts can be accommodated through the School Interlocal Agreement. 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. The proposed use combined with the property to the East has been analyzed in a traffic study and with some adjustments and traffic improvements, traffic congestion can be prevented. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. No, the proposed use has not been inordinately burdened. 10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege to are individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege. Based on the above information, it is recommended that this Zoning application be found consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and approved. Staff recommends approval of the request to allow rezoning from RSF-1 to RMF. Submitted by: James G.

The subject vacant property is located between Northwest 12`'' and 13`'' Streets and Northwest 5`' and 8' Avenues. The petition was submitted by Steven Dobbs on behalf of property owners, InSite Development Group. This petition is associated with Application 06-013-SSA.

The petition is requesting to change the zoning from RSF-1 to RMF on Lots 1 to 26 of Block 12; Lots 1, 2, 3 and 9 less the East 32.50 feet, 10 to 26 of Block 21, Lots 1 to 6 of Block 22, City of Okeechobee Subdivision.

VOTE LEDFERD - YEA BURROUGHS - YEA KELLER - YEA MAXWELL - YEA MCCOY - YEA O'CONNOR - YEA MOTION CARRIED. Planning Staff Report Summary: The applicant is requesting the RMF zoning to develop 9.195 acres of land as a multi -family development. The applicant is also requesting the Multi -Family category that would allow apartments, duplexes and condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre. This could allow up to 92 units on the subject property. Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (1) As proposed, the applicant's request would be inconsistent with the proposed Multi -Family Land use category as intended in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. (2) The RMF zoning district allows a variety of uses, including multi -family housing. July 20, 2006 - Planning Board/Board of Adiustments and Appeals - Page 6 of 12 V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. B. 3. Rezoning Petition No. 06-011-R continued. Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis Continued: (3) The existing neighbor- hood reflects a low level of residential intensity. The applicant, in a separate application had applied for and received a rezoning for property immediate east of the subject property (Blocks 4 and 13) in March. This area is being rezoned in relation to the previous application. If this property is allowed to be changed to Multi -Family, it is inevitable that more rezonings in this single family area will occur. (4) The use is not appropriate for the location until the applicant submit a traffic analysis of the impacts from the subject property and adjacent property which was amended and rezoned in March. (5) The proposed use could adversely affect living conditions of the adjacent properties. (6) Should it be granted, buffering would be determined during the site plan review phase. (7) Should it be granted, the proposed use and other rezonings could overburden water, sewer, schools, and streets. The cumulative impacts of this Multi -Family conversion along with other recent occurrences have not been assessed. (8) Traffic congestion will be a problem if zonings of this size and intensity are allowed to continue. (9) Tthe proposed use has not been inordinately burdened. (10) The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege but the need to chance to Multi -Family zoning has not been demonstrated. Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: Based on the above information, it is recommended that this Zoning application be deemed inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and denied. Staff recommends denial of the request to allow rezoning from RSF-1 to RMF. This petition is associated with Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-013-SSA. All areas of concern noted by Planning Staff have been appropriately addressed. As stated previously, Mr. LaRue will be revising the Planning Staff Report to reflect a recommendation of approval. Board Member McCoy moved to find Rezoning Petition No. 06-011-R consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommend approval to the City Council; seconded by Board Member Burroughs.

These ' financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Okeechobee, Florida's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of the fiduciary fund type and the discretely presented component unit. Those financial statements were audited by ' other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and this report, insofar as it relates to the fiduciary fund type and the discretely presented component unit is based on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America ' and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Okeechobee, Florida, as of September 30, 2005, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 20, 2006, on our consideration of the City of Okeechobee, Florida's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its ' compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial ' reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. P �� 1'ract� � �ec',c t r'�F � � P:1 (,�'4 City of Okeechobee, Florida Page Two The management's discussion and analysis, and budgetary comparison information on pages 7-12 and 44-45 are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Okeechobee, Florida's basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is presented on pages 59-60 for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations; and Chapter 10.550 Rules of the Auditor General, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Hoyman, Dobson & Company, P.A. May 20, 2006 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2005 Our discussion and analysis of the City of Okeechobee, Florida's (the City) financial performance provides an overview of the City's financial activities for the year ended September 30, 2005. Please read it in conjunction with the City's basic financial statements, which immediately follow this discussion. ' FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The following are highlights of financial activity for the year ended September 30, 2005: ' • The City's total assets exceeded its liabilities at September 30, 2005 by $13,631,729. • The City's total revenues were $8,378,518 for the year ended September 30, 2005, compared to total expenses of $5,060,636, which resulted in a $3,317,882 increase in net assets. ' OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ' This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to basic financial statements. ' A. Government -Wide Financial Statements ' The government -wide financial statements, which consist of the following two statements, are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business. ' The statement of net assets presents information on all the City's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. ' The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of ' the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. The government -wide financial statements can be found on pages 15 and 16 of this report. B. Fund Financial Statements ' A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City's funds can be divided into two fund types: governmental funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide ' financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as balances of spendable resources available at the end of the year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near -term financing requirements. 7 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA Management's Discussion and Analysis ber 30, 2005 Fund Financial Statements (continued) Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's near -term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide reconciliations to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18 through 22 of this report. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 23 and 24 of this report. C. Notes to Basic Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential for a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to basic financial statements can be found on pages 25 through 43 of this report. GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of financial position. The following table reflects the condensed government -wide statement of net assets.

The decrease in other liabilities was due to an approximately $900,000 decline in accounts payable and accrued expenses which resulted mainly from the completion of construction. The City's capital assets, which make up 48% of total assets, increased by almost 43%. Improvements other than buildings represented a $1.375 million increase to capital assets while construction in progress amounted to an additional $915,000 increase.

Capital grants and contributions increased primarily because of the $106,000 increase in an economic development grant, a $392,000 contribution of capital assets, a $588,000 transportation grant increase, and a $134,000 decline in rural infrastructure. A $360,000 increase in operating grants arose, in part, from a $300,000 special purpose grant. Much of the $112,000 increase in charges for services came about because of increased demand for professional and occupational licenses, building permits and fees, and solid waste collection fees. Finally, ad valorem property taxes yielded $238,000 more revenue than in the prior year due to an increase in property values and new construction. The transportation expenses increased by $173,000 to $724,000. Increased repairs and maintenance expenses, rising fuel prices, and higher prices for road materials and supplies all contributed to the increase in transportation expense. FUND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $6,577,473, an increase of $1,138,707 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 83 percent of this total amount, $5,447,992 constitutes unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed 1) for public facilities of $1,083,797, and 2) for a variety of other restricted purposes $45,684. The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund was $5,597,821, while total fund balance was $6,698,449. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance represent approximately 120% of total general fund expenditures. The Industrial Development Capital Project fund has a fund balance deficit of $(127,431). The net decrease in fund balance during the current year in the Industrial Development Capital Project fund was $(38,643). The funds were expended for development costs related to the Commerce Center project. The project is being funded on a reimbursement basis with federal and state grant funds. The grants do not allow for the cost of the grant administrator consultant fees, the engineering inspection fees, or for certain costs that were incurred before the grant was in place. The City may be required to absorb these costs. 10 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2005 The Downtown Redevelopment Capital Project fund has a fund balance deficit of $(6,954) as of September 30, 2005. This downtown redevelopment project is also being funded on a reimbursement basis with federal and state grant funds. Just as the grants funding the Commerce Center, these grants do not allow for reimbursement of the cost of the grant administrator consultant fees, the engineering inspection fees, and certain costs that were incurred before the grant was in place. The City will absorb the costs of the downtown redevelopment project not funded by the grants. General Fund Budgetary Highlights The amount appropriated for expenditures increased from $5,583,040 to $5,754,192 an increase of $171,152. The amounts expended in the categories of general government, transportation and capital outlay exceeded the budgeted amount by a total of $58,765 which was offset by expenditures of $252,494 less than the budgeted amounts for physical environment, public safety and debt service resulting in net expenditures of $193,729 less than budgeted. The expenditures in excess of appropriation were mostly due to additional costs as a result of the repairs completed for the 2004 hurricanes. CAPITAL ASSETS AND LONG-TERM LIABILITIES Capital assets. The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental funds as of September 30, 2005, amounts to $6,967,824 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, improvements, equipment, and construction in progress. During the year, the City's net capital asset balance increased $2,087,426 from $4,880,398. Major changes to capital assets during the current fiscal year included the following: • Entered into a lease for twenty two police vehicles. • Sold 20 used police vehicles. • Construction of the sidewalks and park for downtown redevelopment continued. • Construction of the infrastructure for the Commerce Center continued. • Sold Commerce Center lot. Land Buildings Improvements other than building Equipment Construction in progress Total City's Capital Assets (net of depreciation) 2005 1,301,965 1,253,601 1,275,903 835,983 2,300,372 $ 6,967,824 2004 1,304,465 1,278,582 65,816 846,294 1,385,241 $ 4,880,398 1 Additional information on the City's capital assets can be found in note 4.C. on page 37 of this report. CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA Management's Discussion and Analysis ber 30, 2005 Long-term Liabilities. City's Outstanding Debt Long-term Liabilities 2005 2004 Note payable $ 29,338 $ 178,809 Capital leases 411,833 387,796 Compensated absences 218,695 192,497 Total $ 659,866 $ 759,102 The City's long-term liabilities decreased $99,236 (13 percent) during the current fiscal year. The decrease in long-term liabilities is due to payoff of two notes payable: the gas tax revenue note and a municipal promissory note. The addition of a new capital lease for new police cars and additional liability for compensated absences were offset by the sale of the old police cars and payoff of the amount owed on the related lease and by the use and payout of compensation for leave. Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in note 4E, 4F, and 4G. on pages 38-39 of this report. ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET The City Council maintained the millage rate of 7.1899 for fiscal year 2005. Revenues for the fiscal year 2006 adopted budget for all funds of the City total approximately $12,600,000 a decrease of 4.5% from the prior year budget for all funds of approximately $13,200,000. The major changes occur in the Industrial Development Fund and the CDBG Grant Fund. Expenditures for the fiscal year 2006 adopted budget for all funds of the City total approximately $7,100,000, a decrease of approximately 20% from the prior year budget for all funds of approximately $8,900,000. The major changes occur in the Industrial Development fund and CDBG Grant Funds.

However in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period. 2,083,214 The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e. sales, trade ins, and donations) is to decrease net assets. 4,212 The net effect of overfunded pension contributions that are reported as expenditures in the fund financial statements and are recorded as a net pension asset on the statement of net assets. (7,489) The issuance of long-term debt (capital lease) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items. 125,434 Compensated absences reported in the statement of activities when earned, as they do not require the use of current financial resources.

REPORTING ENTITY The City of Okeechobee (the City) was originally incorporated in 1915 and its present charter was adopted in 1919 under Chapter 8318 of Special Acts of 1919. The City operates under the council form of government and provides ' the following services: general government, public safety, transportation, and physical environment. These financial statements present the primary government and its component units. Blended component units, ' although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government's operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. The City has no blended component units. Discretely presented component units are entities that are legally separate from the City, but whose relationship with the City are such ' that the exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The financial data of these entities are reported in a separate column in the combined financial statements. ' Discretely Presented Component Unit City of Okeechobee and Okeechobee Utility Authority Employees' Retirement System — Substantially all of the ' City's general employees and the employees of the Okeechobee Utility Authority participate in this cost sharing, multiple employer public employee retirement system. The plan was established by City Ordinance No. 655, as amended and restated by City Ordinance No. 686. ' Complete financial statements for this component unit may be obtained from the City's administrative offices located at: ' 55 S. E. Third Avenue Okeechobee, Florida 34974 B. GOVERNMENT -WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ' The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. Governmental activities are those which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. Likewise the primary ' government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by ' program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. Program reve- nues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting ' the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. i CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA Notes to Financial Statements 30, 2005 NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, charges for services, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. The City reports the following major governmental funds: The general fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The industrial development capital project fund accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures related to the development of the Okeechobee Commerce Center. The downtown redevelopment capital project fund accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures related to the construction of infrastructure and other improvements to the downtown area of Okeechobee. Additionally, the City reports the following fund types: The pension trust fund account is used to account for assets held by the City in a fiduciary capacity for the police officers' and firefighters' pension plans. The funds are operated by carrying out specific terms of statutes, ordinances and other governing regulations. 28 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA V Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2005 ' NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ' C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) Private -sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in the government -wide financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. ' The effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide financial statements. Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or ' privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Expenses for compensated absences are allocated based on the assigned function of the related employee. ' When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET ASSETS OR EQUITY 1. Cash and investments ' State statutes authorize the government to invest in the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act, SEC registered ' money market funds with the highest credit quality rating, interest -bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories, and direct obligations of the U. S. Treasury. Investments in the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund, a 2a-7 like pool, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. A "2a-7 like pool" is an external investment pool that is not registered with the SEC as an investment company, but nevertheless has a policy that it will, and does, operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which comprises the rules governing money market ' funds. Thus, the pool operates essentially as a money market fund. The fair value of the position in the pool is the same as the share value of the pool share. ' The City pools the investments of its governmental funds. Investment earnings of the pool are allocated to the participating funds at the end of each month based on the ratio of each participant funds' investment to the total pooled investment. For purposes of the fiduciary funds, cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits and cash funds held in broker accounts.

NOTE 2 — RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT -WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCE SHEET AND THE GOVERNMENT -WIDE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance -total governmental funds and net assets -governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of net assets. One element of that reconciliation explains that "long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, if any, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds". The details of this $659,864 difference are as follows: Notes payable $ 29,338 Capital leases payable 411,833 Compensated absences 218,695 Net adjustment to reduce fund balance - total governmental funds to arrive at net assets -governmental activities $ 659,866 B. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES AND THE GOVERNMENT -WIDE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds and changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that "governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense". The details of this $2,083,214 difference is as follows: Capital outlay Depreciation expense $ 2,448,835 (365,621) Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities $ 2,083,214 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORMA Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2005 ' NOTE 2 — RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT -WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ' B. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES AND THE GOVERNMENT -WIDE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED) Another element of that reconciliation states that "The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to decrease net assets". The details of this $4,212 difference ' are as follows: In the statement of activities, only the gain on the sale of capital assets is reported. However, in the governmental funds, the proceeds from the sale increase financial resources. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of the capital assets sold. $ (446,084) ' The statement of activities reports gains arising from the disposal of capital assets. However, these disposals do not appear in the governmental funds because the assets are not financial resources. 58,459 ' Donations of capital assets increase net assets in the statement of activities, but do not appear in the governmental funds because they are not financial resources 391,837 Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances — total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities $ 4,212 ' Another element of that reconciliation states that "the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds." Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. The details of this $125,434 difference are as follows: Debt issued or incurred: Capital lease financing $ (455,592) Principal repayments 581,026 Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities $ 125,434 ' NOTE 3 — STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY A.

CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2005 ' NOTE 4 — DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (CONTINUED) ' A. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) At September 30, 2005, the City had the following investments: Investment Maturity((years) Investment Type Fair Value Less than 1 11-55 Over 6 Ratin Government -wide Local government surplus fund trust fund investment pool $3,557,066 $3,557,066 - - Unrated Pension Funds During 2005, the Plan adopted GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures, an Amendment ' of GASB Statement No. 3 (GASB 40). The adoption of GASB 40 modifies certain financial statement disclosure requirements. The new standard enhances the deposit and investment risk disclosures by updating the custodial credit risk disclosure requirements of GASB 3 and addressing other common risks, including concentrations of credit risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk. The implementation of GASB 40 had no effect on financial statement amounts. Statement 3 disclosures generally referred to as category 1 and 2 deposits and investments are eliminated. However, ' this Statement does not change the required disclosure of authorized investments or the requirements for reporting certain repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and it maintains, with modification, the level -of - detail disclosure requirements of Statement 3. Fixed income securities have inherent financial risks, including credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk for fixed income securities is the risk that the issuer will not fulfill its obligations. Nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (` NSROs"), such as Moody's and Standard and Poor's, assign credit ratings to security issuers and issues that indicate a measure of potential credit risk to investors. Fixed income securities considered investment grade are those rated at least Baa by Moody's and BBB by Standard and Poor's. Concentration of credit risk is an increased risk of loss which occurs as more investments are acquired from one issuer (i.e. lack of diversification). Interest rate risk exists when there is a possibility that changes in interest rates ' could adversely affect an investment's fair value. Custodial credit risk for deposits exists when, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, an entity may be unable to recover deposits, or collateral securities, that are in the possession of an outside party. The investments of the Plan included shares of an intermediate term bond fund comprising approximately 38% of the investments and an international equity fund comprising approximately 6% of the investments. The portfolio ' characteristics of the intermediated term bond fund, which was comprised of approximately 90% U.S. Government and Federal Agency Securities, includes an average maturity of 6.6 years with an effective duration of 3.6 years. The fund philosophy is to invest in domestic corporate investment grade bonds rated A or higher by major credit rating agencies, mortgages and U.S. Government Securities. The Fund itself was not rated by a major credit rating agency. L� CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2005 NOTE 4 — DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (CONTINUED) A.

The Plans provide retirement, disability, and death benefits to plan members and their beneficiaries. Chapters 185 and 175 of the Florida Statutes establish the minimum benefits and the minimum standards for the operation and funding of the Police Officers' and the Firefighters' Municipal Pension Trust Funds, respectively. Per City Ordinances Nos. 750 and 749, sole responsibility for administering the Plans is vested in the Board of Trustees of each plan. The Boards cannot amend the provisions of the plans without the approval of the City. The Plans issue publicly available financial reports that include financial statements and required supplementary information. The reports are available from the City of Okeechobee, Florida, 55 S.E. Third Avenue, Okeechobee, Florida 34974. Funding Policies — The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by City ordinance. Plan members are required to contribute 5% of their annual covered salary for the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Municipal Trust Funds. The City is required to contribute an amount equal to the difference in each year between the total aggregate member contributions for the year, plus state contributions for such year, and the normal cost for the year, as shown by the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan; the current rate is 18.84% for the Police Officers' plan and 6.28% for the Firefighters' plan. The City recognized as revenues and expenditures on -behalf payments relating to pension contributions for its public safety employees that the State of Florida paid to the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Plans in the amounts of $134,181 and $50,262, respectively. These contributions are funded by an excise tax upon certain casualty insurance companies on their gross receipts of premiums from policy holders. Annual Pension Cost — The annual required pension contributions for the Plans were determined as part of the October 1, 2005 actuarial valuations using the aggregate actuarial cost method. The aggregate actuarial cost method does not identify or separately amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) and (B) projected salary increases of 6% for the Police Officer's Trust and 7% for the Firefighter's Trust. Both (a) and (b) included an inflation component of 4%. The actuarial value of assets was determined using a method which recognizes actual investment return in excess of the assumed return evenly over a four year period.

BUDGETARY INFORMATION Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for all governmental funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. The City manager may make transfers of appropriations within a department as long as the total budget of the department is not increased. Transfers of appropriations between departments require the approval of the council. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the department level. The council made several supplemental budgetary appropriations during the year. Encumbrances accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (e.g., purchase orders, contracts) outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be reappropriated and honored during the subsequent year. For the year ended, budget expenditures exceeded revenues in the General fund. However, this is pursuant to the legally adopted budget to expend available fund equity (cash carryforward) and does not constitute a deficit. For the year ended September 30, 2005, general government expenditures, transportation expenditures, and capital outlay expenditures exceeded appropriations in the general fund by $59, $38,985, and $19,721, respectively. These excess expenditures were a result of audit adjustments and were covered by available fund balance in the general fund.

We ' conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. We did not audit the financial statements of the fiduciary fund type and the ' discretely presented component unit. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and this report, insofar as it relates to the fiduciary fund type and the discretely presented component unit, is based on the reports of the other auditors. ' Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ' In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Okeechobee, Florida's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. However, we ' noted certain matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we considered to be a reportable condition. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over financial reporting that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the City of Okeechobee's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements. A reportable condition is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 04-1. In addition we noted an opportunity for improving internal control that we have reported to management of the City of Okeechobee, Florida in a separate ' letter dated May 20, 2006. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control ' components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, we believe that the reportable condition described above is a I material weakness. ' 51 Hn� i�: , _�Dn` Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Okeechobee, Florida Page Two Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Okeechobee, Florida's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management, specific legislative or regulatory bodies, federal and state awarding agencies, and pass -through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

The City of Okeechobee, Florida's major federal programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the ' requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs and state projects is the responsibility of the City of Okeechobee, Florida's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City of Okeechobee, Florida's compliance based on our audit.

Those standards, OMB Circular A-133, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance ' requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or state project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City of Okeechobee, Florida's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the ' circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City of Okeechobee, Florida's compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, the City of Okeechobee, Florida, complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2005. ' Internal Control Over Compliance ' The management of the City of Okeechobee, Florida, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs and state projects.

We conducted our audit in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government A uditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations. We have issued our Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance and Internal Control over Financial Reporting ' and on Compliance and Other Matters, Independent Auditors' Report on Compliance with Requirements Applicable to each Major Federal Program and State Project, and Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Disclosure in these reports, which are dated May 20, 2006, should be considered in conjunction with this management letter. Additionally, our audit was conducted in accordance with Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Those ' rules (Section 10.554(1)(g)l.a.) require that we address in the management letter, if not already addressed in the auditors' reports on compliance and internal controls or schedule of findings and questioned costs, whether or not inaccuracies, shortages, defalcations, fraud, and/or violations of laws, rules, regulations, and contractual ' provisions reported in the preceding annual financial audit report have been corrected. There were no inaccuracies, shortages, defalcations, fraud, and/or violations of laws, rules, regulations, and contractual provisions reported in the preceding annual financial audit report. ' The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(g)l.b.) require that we address in the management letter, if not already addressed in the auditors' reports on compliance and internal controls or schedule of findings and questioned costs, whether or not recommendations made in the preceding annual financial audit report have been ' followed. The status of the findings from the prior year management letter are as follows: Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Status ' 04-1 Reconciliation of Consultant Provided Information to Accounting Records Repeated/revised ' 04-2 Filing of Annual Financial Audit Report Corrected Management Letter Status ' Records Maintenance and Report Filing Corrected ' As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(g)2.), the scope of our audit included a review of the provisions of Section 218.415., Florida Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds. In connection with our audit, we determined that the City of Okeechobee, Florida complied with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. 61 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Okeechobee, Florida Page Two The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(g)4.) require disclosure in the management letter of the following matters if not already addressed in the auditors' reports on compliance and internal controls or schedule of findings and questioned costs: (1) violations of laws, rules, regulations, and contractual provisions that have occurred, or are likely to have occurred; (2) improper or illegal expenditures; (3) improper or inadequate accounting procedures (e. g., the omission of required disclosures from the financial statements); (4) failures to properly record financial transactions; and (5) other inaccuracies, shortages, defalcations, and instances of fraud discovered by, or that come to the attention of, the auditor. We noted the following matters. 1. Fixed Asset Software Criteria: The GASB 34 financial statement presentation requires fixed assets to be recorded along with the related depreciation in the government wide financial statements. Granting agencies require fixed assets purchased with federal funds to be identified and tracked. Condition: The City uses multiple excel spreadsheets to record fixed assets and calculate depreciation. Due to the large number of fixed assets and volume of activity (additions and retirements) using excel spreadsheets to calculate depreciation and roll the schedules forward to a new year is very time consuming. In addition, there is a high probability that errors will occur. Recommendation: We recommend the City obtain computer software specifically designed to track fixed assets and to calculate depreciation. Management's Response: The City has spoken to their software support and is investigating the possibility of implementing fixed asset software. 2. Credit Card Policy Criteria: The City is responsible for providing policies for employees to follow in order to safeguard and prudently manage the City's assets. Condition: The City does not have a policy that provides guidance for the use of credit cards when employees travel on City business. The lack of a policy contributes to the opportunity for fraud and/or abuse to occur. During the testing of employee travel, several instances were encountered in which reimbursement of credit card expenditures lacked documentation. In addition, we found that the City is regularly paying late fees and finance charges on credit cards. These fees ranged from $25 to $37 per month per card. Recommendation: We recommend the City implement a comprehensive credit card policy that complements the existing travel policy. We further recommend prompt payment of credit card bills and that employees be required to reimburse the City for any non -approved charges. Management's Response: All charges for the fund year 2004-2005 were found to be valid expenses. The Finance Department presently reviews each expenditure charged to credit cards. Department heads must complete and approve of charges and submit vouchers for all purchases to the finance department along with receipts. The City will develop and provide a written policy per the described procedures for distribution. The City is continuing to ensure bills are paid on timely basis to avoid any additional charges. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Okeechobee, Florida Page Three 3. Budget Responsibility Criteria: The City is responsible for adhering to approved budgets and budget amendments must be approved by the City Council. Condition: During the course of the 2005 audit, we proposed certain journal entries that were accepted and recorded by management. As a result of these entries in the general fund, general government expenditures exceeded appropriations by $59, transportation expenditures exceeded appropriations by $38,985, and capital outlay expenditures exceeded appropriations by $19,721. These excess expenditures were covered by available fund balance in the general fund. Recommendation: We recommend that the City perform periodic reviews for variances between actual and budgeted results and document the variances. If the investigation of budget variances suggests that the budget is inaccurate, or if business conditions vary from expectations, the budget should be revised to reflect current conditions or more reasonable estimates. Such a practice makes the City better able to account for unexpected expenditures which may arise as a result of journal entries identified by management more than 60 days after fiscal year end, or by adjusting journal entries identified as part of the annual audit. Management's Response: The City will review its budget and request approval if needed by the City Council to amend the budget prior to the fiscal year end. The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(g)5.) also require that the name or official title and legal authority for the primary government and each component unit of the reporting entity be disclosed in the management letter, unless disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. This information is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(g)6.a.), the scope of our audit included a review of the provisions of Section 218.503(1), Florida Statutes, regarding financial emergencies. In connection with our audit, we determined that the City of Okeechobee, Florida has not met any of the financial emergency conditions described in Section 218.503(1), Florida Statutes. As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(g)6.b.), we determined that the annual financial report for the City of Okeechobee, Florida for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, filed with the Department of Financial Services pursuant to Section 218.32, Florida Statutes, is in agreement with the annual ' financial audit report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Sections 10.554(g)(6)c. and 10.556), we applied financial condition assessment procedures. It is management's responsibility to monitor the entity's financial condition, and our financial condition assessment was based in part on representations made by management and the review of financial information provided by same.
