Council Member Markham moved to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 896; seconded by Council Member Williams. b) Public comments and discussion. This Ordinance amends the Future Land Use designation on Lots 6 through 10 of Taylor Creek Manor, from Single Family to Multi -Family. The property is located within the 100 and 200 block of Southeast 8`h Avenue. City Planning Consultant Mr. Jim LaRue began the discussion by outlining the application. The applicant is proposing to amend the Future Land Use Map to allow Multi -Family uses on the property. The site is within the Residential Multi - Family zoning district and this request would provide consistency between the Future Land Use category and the existing zoning. Mr. LaRue also noted this area is along Taylor Creek and there are some environmental sensitive concerns which staff must take caution and be aware of the Land Development Regulations as listed in the analysis. The project would be on Okeechobee Utility Association wastewater, therefore some of the concerns are eliminated. Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. Based on the application, the proposed use is consistent with Objective 2 and Policy 2.1 (b) of the Future Land Use Element. 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 11 units per acre. (B) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Water is available to both sites. Sewer is available at the South lot line of Lot 10. Extension of sewer would be required for Lots 6 and 7 if developed separately from Lots 8, 9, and 10. When developed as one site the sewer could flow to an existing manhole near Lot 10. Southeast 8" Avenue is paved and maintained by the City. The proposed Multi -Family use will require, when approved, a site plan at the Development Review stage. This will ensure that this type of development would not adversely impact Southeast 8' Avenue or State Road 70. The applicant could provide a traffic impact study to show the effect on Southeast 8" Avenue. The development will not negatively impact schools. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses MAY 3, 2005 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 9 OF 15 257 VII. PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE ADOPTION CONTINUED. C. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. The proposed land use will not create any adverse impacts to the surrounding property and it will be compatible with adjacent and nearby uses. 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. Enforcement of the Land Development Code regulation and specific policies in the Future Land Use and Conservation Elements could help curtail any impacts this development could have. 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. 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. (D) Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The goals, objectives and policies, as they are intended within the Comprehensive Plan, would allow for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. The proposal would be consistent with uses allowed within the Multi -Family category. 258 MAY 3, 2005 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 10 OF 15 VII. PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE ADOPTION CONTINUED. C. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. Clerk Gamiotea reported by memorandum in Exhibit Three, all fees have been paid. The ordinance was advertised in the Okeechobee News on April 22. The Planning Staff found the application to be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and has recommended approval. The Land Planning Agency is also recommending approval. It is not necessary to mail notices to the surrounding property owners, nor post a sign on the property since this is a small scale amendment (less than 10 acres). Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. Ms. Janice Fehrman of 612 Southeast 8' Avenue was present and spoke of her concern regarding traffic congestion providing this is permitted and also that the Multi -Family zoning request would not be compatible since the area is zoned for Single Family. Another concern of Ms. Fehrman's is whether the 12 unit housing project is to be a low income project. Ms. Liz Weisser was present and spoke on behalf of Caldwell Banker Real Estate Agency and the property owner, A. Bart Cook. She informed Council that there should not be any problem with the traffic since there are only 2 to 3 more units than what is allowed in a Single Family zoning. She also explained that this project is proposed to be 2 bedroom townhouses and they are to be sold. Ms. Weisser expressed her opinion stating this would be an improvement to the area instead of the eyesore that already exists. Council Member Williams asked City Planning Consultant Mr. LaRue to explain to the public the results of the engineering traffic study. He replied according to the study, Multi -Family homes generate 40 percent less traffic than Single Family homes, which should eliminate the traffic concern mentioned earlier. Mayor Kirk then opened the floor for Council discussion. There was a brief discussion and Mr. LaRue reminded Council that the traffic impacts, ingress and egress of the project will be addressed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC) during site plan review. Council Member Watford noted that the TRC needs to review this proiect with great care especially the traffic issues. c) Vote on motion. VOTE KIRK - YEA CHANDLER - YEA MARKHAM - YEA WATFORD - YEA L.

Council Member Watford took pictures during his visit of the outside of the Stuart facility, they were distributed to the Mayor and Council. He apologized for not being able to visit the facility while it was open. He agreed with Council Member Markham regarding that type of business being located in the Commerce Center. He also stated another concern was with part of the business being out of the park, which would not allow the City to have any say so to its appearance or maintenance. He suggested that the City decline the offer to purchase Lot 19. Mr. Slattery addressed their concerns, asking where else should his business be placed than in the back of an industrial park? He stated he understood their concerns due to the conditions of existing recycling facilities currently located in Okeechobee. His plans were to have a larger facility than what he has to operate with now, to be more organized, to keep the area buffered and not have outside storage. Mayor Kirk stated his only problem was access to the property. When the request to purchase Lot 19 was discussed he and Mr. Slattery were under the impression that he would have access by the 50-foot wide easement that runs North to South along the Eastern Boundary of the Commerce Center. However, that will not work for ingress and egress to this Lot. Attorney Cook advised the City has two options. Either use the money from the sale of Lots 4 and 5 to Mr. Meyers to pave the roadways necessary for access to Lot 19, or Mr. Slattery could participate in the new grant application and let the grants pay for the infrastructure. Council Member Chandler added that he visited the facility in Stuart on Friday. Mr. Slattery is operating a large volume in a small space. He has stated to us that he needs a larger facility and that the new facility would not look like the current one since he would have the room for the volume. Council Member Chandler was in favor of selling the lot. Council Member Williams agreed with Council Member Chandler regarding the sale of the Lot to Mr. Slattery and stated, we all know what a recycling plant entails and the place for them is in an industrial park. Mr. Slattery was asked whether or not he could work with the grant time lines? He responded, I will be more than happy to work with grants.

It is not necessary to mail notices to the surrounding property owners, nor post a sign on the property since this is a small scale amendment (less than 10 acres). Planning Staff Report Summary of Application: The applicants are proposing to amend the Future Land Use Map to allow Commercial uses on the property. The property is currently being used as Commercial with Commercial Zoning, however, the Future Land Use Map classifies the property as Multi -Family. This request would provide consistency with the zoning map for a portion of the property (Lots 11 and 12). The owner (Mr. Dyals) of Lots 1 and 2 will be applying for a rezoning at a later date to bring his property into congruency. Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. As proposed, the applicants' request is consistent with Objective 2 and Policy 2.1(c) of the Future Land Use Element. This Future Land Use Map Amendment will bring consistency with the current zoning of a portion of the property, as stated earlier. Objective 2: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to 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: (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 ration of 3.00 and the maximum impervious surface for development within this category shall not exceed 85% of the site. (B) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. The subject property is already developed and has adequate public facilities. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The current existing land use is consistent with the Page -3- adjacent and nearby uses. These uses include apartments, a locksmith, a commercial plaza, an art gallery and a church parking lot. (D) Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, as they are intended, could allow for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Commercial. This proposed amendment would be consistent and provide a link to the existing uses that are established. Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: This application and its appearance before the City Council and the LPA were duly noticed for the public in accordance with public notice requirements under Florida Statutes, Chapter 163. Based on the Comprehensive Plan, its goals, objectives and policies, the location of this property, and due consideration of the adjacent land uses, it is recommended that this application for a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment be approved as it is consistent with the Comprehensive PI 7�1'1'1-1 � -zt Lc�� iL C) Vote on motion.

The Planning Staff found the application to be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and has recommended approval. The Land Planning Agency is also recommending approval. It is not necessary to mail notices to the surrounding property owners, nor post a sign on the property since this is a small scale amendment (less than 10 acres). Planning Staff Report Summary of Application: The applicant is proposing to amend the Future Land Use Map to allow Multi -Family uses on the property. The site is within the RMF zoning district and this request would provide consistency between the Future Land Use category and the existing zoning. Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. Based on the application, the proposed use is consistent with Objective 2 and Policy 2.1(b) of the Future Land Use Element. 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 11 units per acre. (B) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Water is available to both sites. Sewer is available at the South lot line of Lot 10. Extension of sewer would be required for Lots 6 and 7 if developed separately from Lots 8, 9, and 10. If developed as one site the sewer could flow to an existing manhole near Lot 10. S. E. 8" Avenue is paved and maintained by the City. The proposed Multi -Family use will require, if approved, a site plan at the Development Review stage. This will ensure that this type of development would not adversely impact S. E. 8'h Avenue or SR 70. The applicant could provide a traffic impact study to show the effect on S. E. 8`h Avenue. The development will not negatively impact schools. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land use will not create any adverse impacts to the surrounding property and it will be compatible with adjacent and nearby uses. 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. Enforcement of the Land Development Code regulation and specific policies in the Future Land Use and Conservation Elements could help curtail any impacts this development could have. 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, Page -7- 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. 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. (D) Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The goals, objectives and policies, as they are intended within the Comprehensive Plan, would allow for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. The proposal would be consistent with uses allowed within the Multi -Family category. Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: This application has been duly noticed for the public in accordance with Chapter 163. F. S. Based on the application being consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends approval to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single -Family to Multi -Family. ��--C�/ k--y>cc:��<�w" 40 Ij- � � U -� c) Vote on motion.

Mr. LaRue also noted that this area is along Taylor Creek, there are some environmental concerns, what staff must stick to the LDR's as listed in the analysis, which contain protections for environmental sensitive areas.. The project would be on OUA wastewater, therefore some concerns are eliminated. Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. Based on the application, the proposed use is consistent with Objective 2 and Policy 2.1(b) of the Future Land Use Element. 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-familyy Residential. Permitted uses include apartrnents, duplexes, condominiums, single-family houses and public facilities. Maximum density shall not exceed 10 units per acne. 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. (S) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Water is available to both sites. Sewer is available at the South lot fine of Lot 10. Extension of sewer would be required for Lofts 6 and 7 if developed separately from Lots 8, 9, and 10. If developed as one site the sewer could 11ow to an existing manhole near Lot 10. S. E. a Avenue is paved and maintained by the City. The proposed Multi -Family use will require, if approved, a site plan at the Development Review stage. This will ensure that this type of development would not adversely impact S. E. a Avenue or SR 70. The applicant could provide a traffic impact study to show the effect on S. E. a Avenue. The development will not negatively impact schools. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land use will not create -any adverse impacts to the surrounding property and it will be compatible with adjacent and nearby uses. 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. Enforcement of the Land Development Code regulation and specific policies in the Future Land Use and Conservation Elements could help curtail any impacts this development could'have. 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 after 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 shag 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 array. 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 shag 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 shag 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 wi11 minimize the flow into Taylor Creek of organic nutrients, pesticides, sediment, and other substances having the potential to degrade water quality. 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 Creekfromadverse 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 welts; (c) preserves existing wetland areas; (d) avoids the disturbance of natural drainage features; and (e) preserves habitat for endangered and/or threatened wildlife species. Rance with (D)- �P Specific Standards of the Plan. The goals, objectives and policies, as they are intended within -the Comprehensive Plan, would allow for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. The proposal mould be consistent with uses allowed within the Multi -Family category. Page -6- Clerk Gamiotea reported by memorandum in Exhibit Three, all fees have been paid. The ordinance was advertised in the Okeechobee News on April 22. The Planning Staff found the application to be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and has recommended approval. The Land Manning Agency is also recommending approval. It is not necessary to mail notices to the surrounding property owners, nor post a sign on the property since this is a small scale amendment (less than 10 acres). Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. Ms. Jane Ferman 612 SE e Avenue, concerns with putting multi -family on our street that is all single family. Concerned with traffic, area is congested. Stipulation as the kind of 12 unit housing project, is it low income? Just wanted to express my concerns as a neighbor to the area. Liz Weisser, Caldwell Banker Real Estate Agent for the buyer addressed the Council explaining that she was involved in the project, in regards to density, there are 12 units that would be allowed, that is only 2-3 more units than what you can do in SF, this project will enrich that area and neighborhood, the area is coming up and think it would help it, no plans of putting in boating, 2 bedroom townhouses, nothing large, they will be sold. Williams, (to LaRue) can you explain the traffic flows for the people present? LaRue, MF is generally lower in traffic, based on engineering traffic studies. Our Transportation Planner looks at MF 40% less of traffic usage than SF. Traffic will be looked at during site plan. Watford, some concerns with pulling out there? How would they do that? LaRue we like to see them not back out on that area, fine team of site plan members. Watford, staff needs to be sure, there is a curb also there. Is there 1 entrance? LaRue don't know until we get to site plan, depends on it they are detached or attached. Watford, think with that area it seems like value of that would be good, tend to give better development than a less expensive property. Markham, right and better use with commercial properly also right there. You would either have commercial or SF, if this is done right, there is not going to be more traffic in. there, Watford, and multi family is less traffic than single family. Markham, Check the driveway system and 1 entrance would be less congestion on that road. c) Vote on motion. VOTE YEA NAY ABSTAIN ABSENT KIRK X CHANDLER X MARKHAM X WATFORD X L.

Consider a Proposal from James Slattery regarding the safe of Lot 19 of the City Commence Center - _ _ Mayor. Markham, went and looked at the business Saturday, sure it's a good business, the boy is doing a good job on a type of business, but that isn't the type of business I'd like to see in our park. Slattery, still operating a 4 times amount, 10 foot wall around property, would have a bigger building, have a smaller facility now, it will not look like that over here. Went by the Stuart site of the business you have out there now and their Stuart facility doesn't look any better than mine, he has outside storage. Markham, buy he does not have Metal material layed out, he has warehouses for storage, his looked nothing like yours. Page -7- Slattery, Where else should our business be placed than in the back of an industrial park? Do you want us on the main highway? I know you are afraid of things you already have in this town, we are to small for that facility but that is one of the reasons we need a bigger facility. Our plans are to be more organized and have a bigger facility, we'd rather work inside and out of site from the neighbors. Mayor, don't have a problem with that type of business being in there. One thing concerned me, did go back over there, side road, that's going to take some work to get that passable, the administrator drove me over there so t would understand what we were up against. 2 vehicles on that road be able to pass. If we had improvements to that area, would not be a problem for me, don't know how we would get around that road, city would have to spend some money Cook, 2 ways, 1 sell lots 4 - 5 enough money to build the road, he can also participate in the new grant application if he wants to participate, meantime is the problem. $5,000 for a shell road for temporary access. Watford, apologize not able to get while not open, went while closed, unfortunately all we have to judge from is what is there now. Think he runs a good business, know he works hard. Hate to say it, from what I saw, would not want to see that, would be remiss of my duties to the citizens. Couple more hurricanes, could have 10 times that amount. Also concerned with part of the business being out of the park that would not allow us to have any say so. My suggestion is to decline the offer and I hate to do that, know he's worked hard, but all we can do is judge what we're seen. Don't think it is the type of operation. Noel, went Friday, recycle facility, it is what it is, is a small place, think if he had the bigger space you would not see it, got to make them look good, $5000 for a road isn't that much, grants will come through, think he would make it look good, Mayor, decide to do this, grant work till we got right? No onsite work, construction plans, but improvements to lot, have to wait, doses in August, don't know the period. Slattery, August may work out, if site ready to go, We can do it ourselves, all we can do is educated guess for $65,000.00 by CAS, Markham, do they have people delivering or pick up all? Delivery more than? The public brings stuff into us. I'll be more than happy to work with grants if they would work. Williams, recycling plant and we know what they entail, and they go in an industrial park, know what we've dealt with. Working to hard to try to keep it. Cook, one thing to point out, Lot 19 cannot be used by anyone, only works for him because he owns south Parcel, any outdoor storage has to be approved by the Design Review Board, sort of like a special exception. Williams, think if we went prior to hurricanes wouldn't look like it does now, I don't have a problem with it. If we can get the grants, Kirk and if grant goes through the price of property would be $35 not $25. Are we willing to let the review committee look at ri, lot him be a part of the grants. I was in favor of the right of way, present problems we don't need to have. Turned to Tape 2 side A. Slattery... Kirk, are we willing to do this subject to the grants. Cook, Regardless of grant build $5000 road agreed to sign to wait on other improvements, purchase, or acre and tie to grant, and if it doesn't work then there is no sale.pt P.nnnrH Mamhor Phaneitor mnvoet M ealo i nt 1Q of thw rnmmorro Pa tow thsit tho s to ha Noel fn mmnt Page -8- being able to receive the 9LIff is price veld -be $35 000 per acre; wond Williams.

Still stick with my original comments, don't think it is what we need there.

The location is approximately 250 feet south of State Road 70 and directly across from the Royal's Furniture shopping plaza. We would like to build 12 townhouses to be sold as residential homes. We envision these units being 1,200 square feet each, two stories high with two bedrooms, two baths and single car garage. These units would overlook Taylor Creek, with a wall or hedge as a buffer to the street. If approved, we feel our project will be an enhancement to the community and help attract young business professionals to the area.

Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. Based on the application, the proposed use is consistent with Objective 2 and Policy 2.1(b) of the Future Land Use Element. 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.

Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses Applicant: AZBLUE, LLC Petition No. 05-007-SSA The proposed land use will not create any adverse impacts to the surrounding property and it will be compatible with adjacent and nearby uses. 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. Enforcement of the Land Development Code regulation and specific policies in the Future Land Use and Conservation Elements could help curtail any impacts this development could have. 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. Conservation Element • Staff Report Applicant: AZBLUE, LLC Small -Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 05-007-SSA 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. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The goals, objectives and policies, as they are intended within the Comprehensive Plan, would allow for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. The proposal would be consistent with uses allowed within the Multi -Family category. Analysis and Conclusions This application has been duly noticed for the public in accordance with Chapter 163. F.S. Based on the application being consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends approval to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single -Family to Multi -Family.

The Taylor Creek right of way per recorded plat should be recognized as non -buildable. Enforcement of the Land Development Code regulation and specific policies in the Future Land Use and Conservation Elements could help curtail any impacts this development could have. 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 tlic 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 nati` tress, shrubs and ground covers. Policy 7.1: The City shall continue to amend and enforce lana 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 Creels of organic nutrients, pesticides, sediment, and other substances having the potential to degrade water quality. 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.

The Airi Estates development is a proposed 24-lot subdivision consisting of 0.5-acre (minimum size) single-family lots. Access to the development will be from SE 91h Avenue. The property is located north of Blue Heron Golf and Country Club and south and east of the intersection of SE 9th Avenue and SE 11th Street. Presently runoff occurs as sheet -flow conveyed to the Blue Heron water management system as authorized by South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD Permit No. 47-00024-S). Elevations range from 22.5' NGVD along the northern boundaries to 19.0' NGVD along the southern limits. The seasonal high water table elevation is approximately two -feet below grade. Groundwater elevations are influenced by both the Blue Heron control elevation (14.0' NGVD) and operation of SFWMD's Pump Station (13.5' NGVD). The project site consists of deep sands as described in the Soil Survey. Runoff from this site ultimately enters Taylor Creek via two permitted structures from Blue Heron. The site is located on F.I.R.M. Map Panel 120177-0230-B (Okeechobee County) and is above the established basin flood elevation in the area. For the developed site, on -site attenuation and water quality treatment will be provided within dry swales. Discharge from the site is by sheet -flow from a spreader swale, which will direct runoff into Blue Heron. Operation of the on -site swale system, as permitted by SFWMD, will be the responsibility of the Aid Estates Homeowner's Association. Potable water will be provided via an extension to the City of Okeechobee public water supply system. Sewer service will consist of septic tanks and drain fields for each individual lot. In addition, street improvements are proposed to allow access to each lot and provide emergency vehicle access and turn -around. • David & Anita Nunez, Jr. 2085 S.E. 4 th.

Purpose The Okeechobee County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and its underlying planning process are intended to serve many purposes. These include the following: • Provide a Methodical, Substantive Approach to Mitigation Planning The approach utilized by the Okeechobee County LMS Committee relies on the application of soundly -based planning concepts in a methodical process to identify vulnerabilities to future disasters and to propose the mitigation initiatives necessary to avoid or minimize those vulnerabilities. Each step in the process builds upon the previous step, so that there is a high level of assurance that the mitigation initiatives proposed by the participants have a valid basis for both their justification and priority for implementation. One key purpose of this plan is to document that process and to present its results to the community. • Enhance Public Awareness and Understanding The committee is interested in finding ways to make the community as a whole more aware of the natural, technological and societal hazards that threaten the public health and safety, the economic vitality of businesses, and the operational capability of important facilities and institutions. The plan identifies the hazards threatening Okeechobee County and provides an assessment of the relative level of risk they pose. The plan also includes a number of proposals of ways to avoid or minimize those vulnerabilities. This information will be very helpful to individuals that wish to understand how the community could become safer from the impacts of future disasters. • Create a Decision Tool for Management The Okeechobee County Local Mitigation Plan provides information needed by the managers and leaders of local government, business and industry, community associations and other key institutions and organizations to take actions to address vulnerabilities to future disasters. It also provides proposals for specific projects and programs that are needed to eliminate or minimize those vulnerabilities. • Promote Compliance with State and Federal Program Requirements There are a number of state and federal grant programs, policies, and regulations that encourage or even mandate local government to develop and maintain a comprehensive hazard mitigation plan. This plan is specifically intended to assist the participating local governments to comply with these requirements, and to enable them to more fully and quickly respond to state and federal funding opportunities for mitigation -related projects. This plan is developed with the intention of meeting the new FEMA requirements implemented to comply with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K). This plan qualifies Okeechobee County, Okeechobee City, and other eligible agencies for future pre -disaster mitigation funding. 2 0 9 • Assure Inter -Jurisdictional Coordination of Mitigation -Related Programming A key purpose of the planning process utilized by the Okeechobee County LMS Committee is to ensure that proposals for mitigation initiatives are reviewed and coordinated among the participating jurisdictions. In this way, there is a high level of confidence that mitigation initiatives proposed by one jurisdiction or participating organization, when implemented, will be compatible with the interests of adjacent jurisdictions and unlikely to duplicate or interfere with mitigation initiatives proposed by others. • Provide a Flexible Approach to the Planning Process The planning process used by the Okeechobee County LMS Committee is comprehensive in nature, utilizing information compiled from the community during public meetings, reviews of existing plans, studies, and reports, as well as the contributions from area business and industries. II. The Planning Process Public involvement: During the initial stages of plan development, several public meetings were held throughout Okeechobee County. Surveys were distributed to the public through various methods, completed, and returned to the committee for evaluation. As a public meeting, Okeechobee LMS meetings are open to the general public, and announced to the public through local media releases. Additionally, all members of the committee are charged with maintaining and increasing community participation in committee activities through contact with community and business organizations. Community, agencies, businesses, and other private & non-profit interests: As a multi jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan, the planning effort has been conducted through the coordinated, cooperative effort of several local governments including Okeechobee County and the City of Okeechobee. Other key participants, organizations and agencies have been Florida Power and Light, Columbia Raulerson Hospital, The Okeechobee Chamber of Commerce, Berger Insurance, Florida Division of Forestry, and the Coquina and South Florida Water Management Districts. The Committee has also actively engaged the community at large in the mitigation planning process, undertaking several efforts to solicit the community's opinions and recommendations regarding mitigation needs and the topics covered in the plan. Use of existing plans, studies, and reports: The County's existing LMS document was reviewed and compared to the new FEMA requirements, as well as, the State's requirements for a mitigation section to be part of the County's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Deficiencies were identified utilizing an established crosswalk, and corrective actions implemented to up -date the plan. Plan Development: This plan was compiled by DisasTech International, LLC (Consultants) under contract to the Central Florida Regional Planning Council and supervised by the Okeechobee County LMS Committee and Okeechobee County 3 0 9 Emergency Management. Development was accomplished utilizing the deliverables as established in an agreement between Okeechobee County and the Florida Division of Emergency Management. III. Risk Assessment Okeechobee County is vulnerable to a variety of natural and manmade hazards. While the hazards associated with coastal areas are not applicable, the county is subject to severe weather in several forms. The highest risk hazards throughout the planning area, in descending order based on the relative risk ratings, are considered to be: • Floods • Hurricanes and Coastal Storms • Severe Storms/Tornadoes • Wildfires • Drought/Heat Wave A further assessment for each of these hazards was conducted to determine: • Previous occurrences • The location and extent of damages • The probability of future events • Vulnerability and impact of future events • The possible impact to buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities • Human and economic impacts • Potential dollar losses to structures • Land uses and development trends • Differences in jurisdictional risks Upon completion of these assessments, the analysis concluded that: Floods. Okeechobee County has a number of low or poorly drained areas which regularly experience flooding with or without a storm. Pre -storm rainfall can not be considered independently when projecting requirements for road closures. The cumulative annual rainfall, saturation of the ground, and status of the drainage network are perhaps more significant factors. The flood maps included in this plan provide more information on hose areas of Okeechobee County which experience repetitive flooding. Hurricanes and Coastal Storms. Florida is the most vulnerable state in the nation to the impacts of hurricanes and tropical storms. Hurricane season runs from June through November. In June and October, the regions of maximum hurricane activity are the Gulf of Mexico and the western Caribbean. In Okeechobee County, the primary effects from a hurricane are high winds and inland flooding. Tornadoes associated with tropical storms are most frequent in September and October when the incidence of tropical storms is greatest. Inland flooding can accompany any hurricane due to the low elevation of much of the county. The vulnerability of Okeechobee County to hurricanes varies with the progression of the hurricane season. rd Severe Storms / Tornadoes. Severe weather disrupts daily lives more than any other form of weather. Each year thousands of dollars go to fixing or replacing televisions, computers, homes, and aircraft damaged by such storms. Crops are also subject to damage or destruction by hail associated with storms. Thunderstorms can also be deadly. Florida leads the nation in lightening related deaths, and is among the top ten states prone to devastation from tornadoes. Thunderstorms are also responsible for delivering most of the state's rain fall. Okeechobee County is among the top ten counties in Florida in number of lightening injuries and deaths. Tornadoes occur in connection with thunderstorms and frequently are accompanied or followed by lightening and sometimes heavy rain or hail. Tornadoes associated with tropical storms are most frequent in September and October when the potential for tropical storms is greatest. These tornadoes usually occur around the perimeter of the leading edge of the storm and sometimes result in the outbreak of several tornadoes. These tornadoes generally move in an easterly or northeasterly direction. All areas of the county are vulnerable to severe storms and tornadoes. The potential for damage and loss of life increases as a function of population density. As the number of structures and people increase, so does the probability of human casualties and property losses. This is compounded by the county's high number of mobile home residents. Mobile homes are extremely susceptible to wind damage due to the light construction materials, flat sides and roofs, and lack of permanent foundation, however remain an attractive housing prospect for many individuals due to their relative affordability. Wildfires. Forest lands and other wild lands in Okeechobee County are extremely susceptible to wildfires. Fire has been excluded from much of the wild land in the county causing heavy fuel loading in the wildland-urban interface. Many low lands and wetlands in Okeechobee County are comprised of organic soils, often called "muck". Fires in these areas during droughts cause substantial smoke hazards to the county's citizens. Wildfires in general are difficult and costly o extinguish, and thus require a large amount of resources. Maps illustrating historical wildfire events are included in the plan. Drought / Heat Wave. Drought occurs when there is a deficiency of precipitation, creating an imbalance between available water supplies and demand. The state has been impacted by drought on a repeated basis over the last few years. The severity of drought may be considered as a function of both the duration and the magnitude of the precipitation deficiency. In Okeechobee County, groundwater is a source of drinking water for about 90% of the population. The principal source of groundwater for Okeechobee County is the Floridian aquifer system. This aquifer system is extremely vulnerable to the effects of drought. During a drought the Floridian aquifer can fall to dangerously low levels through excessive drawdown. This also results in the inability of sandy soils to support agricultural production because of the low moisture holding capacities. Another source of water is Lake Okeechobee. This lake serves as a major water storage area for southeastern Florida, and has historically fallen to below 11 feet for 110 days. A severe drought in 2001 affected the county, and all of central Florida, resulting in water rationing in much of the area. Summer heat in Okeechobee County approaches 100 degrees from May until early September. These days require extensive use of air conditioning systems across the county which could result in potential power failures. Many senior citizens or others with 5 health problems are susceptible to loss of power conditions which could place them in dangerous situations. Homeless persons, or those is substandard housing, are also at risk. The combination of high temperatures and the sever weather incidents that are spawn from these conditions will put this population in danger. IV. Mitigation Goals The Okeechobee County LMS Committee has established a number of goals and objectives to guide its work in the development of this plan. The goals selected by the committee are related to the broad mitigation needs and capabilities of the communities involved, rather than addressing a specific hazard type or category. Therefore, the Okeechobee County mitigation goals and objectives, by definition, are "multi -hazard" in scope and can be described as statements of the desired "mitigation -related capabilities" that will be present in each participating jurisdiction in the future as the goals are achieved. The goals are as follows: • Educate home and business owners on mitigation measures • Encourage participation in the National Flood Insurance and Flood Mitigation Assistance Programs • Complete projects that benefit as many residents as possible • Insure that critical services and facilities are protected • Insure that projects produce long-term, cost effective benefits • Provide sufficient shelter space in public facilities by retrofitting those facilities V. Prioritization of Actions and Projects Each jurisdiction is encouraged to submit actions and projects to the committee for inclusion into the LMS. Each proposed project is approved and prioritized utilizing the following criteria: • Ability of the project to meet state and federal requirements • Priority established by the submitting jurisdiction/agency • Criticality of the project to the community health, safety, and/or welfare • Number of residents served or benefited • Age of structure and lifespan of benefit • Availability of applicant's matching funds • Costs versus benefits of the project Actions and projects rated as high must be considered by the committee as meeting all criteria. VI. Mitigation Actions and Projects At the heart of this plan are the actions and projects that were submitted, approved, and prioritized. They represent the plan of action to reduce future damages and disruptions to essential services. Attachment "B" is the current listing of projects proposed/planned by the various jurisdictions within Okeechobee County. C Planning Departments ensure all new building, infrastructure, and development is in accordance with the Growth Management Plans of the county and state. Building Departments ensure all building construction meets the minimum standards of the new State Building Code, and that all construction in the 100-year flood plain is elevated above the Base Flood Elevation established by FEMA. Also ensure that modifications and improper uses below the Base Flood Elevation do not occur. Emergency Management makes information on mitigation measures available to new and current home and business owners. VII. Plan Adoption Public Meetings — Several public meeting were held across the county throughout 2003 to allow for comments and input prior to the start of the revision process. Following the approval of this plan, but prior to final adoption, the public will be provided an opportunity to review and comment on its revisions. Governing Body Acceptance — Following review and comments from the public, the Okeechobee Board of County Commissioners and the governing body of Okeechobee City shall sign and adopt this LMS. Resolution templates have been provided in attachment "C" of this plan. Vill. Incorporation into Other Plans As part of the regular meetings of the Okeechobee LMS Committee, members will dedicate at least one meeting annually to enduring that the goals, priorities, actions, and projects established in this plan are incorporated into ongoing county and city planning activities. This plan will be incorporated into the following planning mechanisms as indicated below prior submission of the next update for approval by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and FEMA. Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan — This LMS will be incorporated into the CEMP by reference, and utilized as the plan's mitigation section. Comprehensive Land Use Plan — This LMS will be incorporated through the integration of the risk assessment section into the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Capital Improvement Plan — This LMS will be incorporated into the Capital Improvements Plan by scheduling select mitigation projects utilizing local funding. Flood Plain Management Plan — Portions of the risk assessment contained in this LMS will be incorporated into the Flood Plain Management Plan to address riverine and inland flooding issues. Community Rating System — To further reduce the cost of flood insurance under the NFIP, this LMS will be incorporated by reference. 7 IX. Plan Maintenance & Continued Public Participation This plan will be reviewed and updated in one or each of the following ways: • Annually • Within 90 days after a disaster • At any meeting of the LMS Committee, upon request of at least three members Continued public participation will be ensured by the constant efforts of each member of the LMS Committee to recruit comments and involve the public in the local mitigation strategies. X. Risk Assessment This section of the Okeechobee County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan summarizes the results of the hazard identification and vulnerability assessment processes undertaken by the committee members. The intent of this section is to provide a compilation of the information gathered and the judgments made about the hazards threatening Okeechobee County as a whole, and the potential vulnerability to those hazards. The technical planning process begins with hazard identification. In this process, the Planning Committee and representatives of individual jurisdictions identify all of the natural, technological and societal or man-made hazards that could threaten the community. When the hazard types are identified as relevant to, or of concern for, that jurisdiction, the participants can make an estimate of the risk each poses to the jurisdiction being evaluated. The estimate of risk is based on the judgment of the planners regarding the likely frequency of occurrence of the hazard event compared to its probable consequences. For purposes of this analysis, "risk" is defined as a relative measure of the probability that a hazard event will occur in comparison to the consequences or impacts of that event. That is, if a hazard event occurs frequently, and has very high consequences, then that hazard is considered to pose a very high risk to the affected communities. In comparison, if a hazard event is not expected to occur frequently, and even if it did, the consequences would be minimal, then that hazard is considered to pose a very low risk. This relationship between frequency of occurrence and consequences of an event can be illustrated by the following graph: Very Frequent � LU Ou ♦re 4 >- Z z e W Q°s : 5� wv High Risk e�� �O ' Ve '•• •• Unexpected • • • • �'' • ■ . ■ ■ LOW Risk • or Very Rare severe or 8 Zero or minimal CONSEQUENCES catastrophic consequences OF THE EVENT consequences This graph illustrates that some hazards can be defined as "low risk," for they do not occur often enough and/or do not result in significant impacts even when they do. In comparison, other hazards may occur often enough and/or have sufficiently severe consequences when they do, that they must be considered "high risk." By considering the relative risk of the different hazards that threaten each participating jurisdiction, greater priority can be given to the "higher" risk hazards, in order to most effectively utilize the time and resources available for the mitigation planning process. In this way, the planning approach used for Okeechobee County supports what can be termed "risk -based planning" because it facilitates the participants' capabilities to focus on the highest risk hazards. Pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, each jurisdiction is required to be evaluated for a prescribed list of natural hazards. These hazards are: • Earthquakes • Tsunamis • Coastal and Riverine Erosion • Landslides/Sinkholes • Hurricanes and Coastal Storms • Severe Storms/Tornadoes • Floods • Wildfires • Dam/Levee Failure • Volcanic Activity • Drought/Heat Wave • Winter Storms/Freezes. While several of these hazards are relevant to Okeechobee County and the participating jurisdictions, some are not due to the geographic location and characteristics of the planning area. If, during the planning process, a specific hazard is assessed, and the relative risk estimate for that hazard is determined to be zero (meaning the hazard actually poses no identifiable risk to the jurisdiction), then that hazard is not considered further in the planning process, in the subsequent assessments of vulnerability of the community to that hazard, or evaluation of the adequacy of the policies of the jurisdiction to manage the risks posed by that hazard. The following hazards were not ranked as significant to the area by those representatives making the planning decisions, for they have been designated as posing zero risk to the specific jurisdiction. • Earthquakes • Tsunamis • Coastal and Riverine Erosion • Dam/Levee Failure • Volcanic Activity E • • In deriving these estimates of risk for each hazard, the participating jurisdictions have utilized any available information regarding the geographic areas that may be impacted by each identified hazard, as well as population, infrastructure and facilities within those impacted areas. For many of the participating jurisdictions, this information has not been available in a geographic information system (GIS) database, but has been accessed from internet websites and existing GIS databases available from state and federal agencies. It must be emphasized that in some cases, detailed information regarding the areas potentially impacted by a specific hazard, as well as its potential health and safety, property, environmental and economic impacts of that hazard, may not have been available. Therefore, it has often been necessary to rely on the informed judgment of knowledgeable local officials to identify hazards and derive estimates of the risk each poses to the community. Committee members believe that their experience with their own communities, as well as their capabilities to derive reasonable estimates of the geographic area at risk and the potential impacts of the hazard, is adequate for the purposes of this planning effort. While assessment of past disasters can also be very informative regarding the types, locations, or scope of mitigation initiatives that would be needed to prevent similar damages from future events of the same type, no records have been kept of past disaster events. Therefore the committee intends to assess as many past disaster events as feasible with the resources available for the planning process. This section provides the updated analyses for those hazards that have affected, or are likely to affect the Okeechobee County mitigation planning area. These hazards include: • Floods • Hurricanes and Coastal Storms • Severe Storms/Tornadoes • Wildfires • Drought/Heat Wave • Winter Storms/Freezes The following sections describe the relative risk posed by various hazard categories to the jurisdictions evaluated. Current land use and future development maps are included, and are referred to in each detailed hazard assessment section. A summary matrix for each hazard, followed by conclusions and recommendations is included at the end of this section. XI. Natural Hazard Analysis The following natural hazards have been identified by FEMA Region IV, for analysis and possible inclusion in the Okeechobee Local Mitigation Strategy. Earthquakes — The U.S. Geological Survey, National Seismic Mapping Project (website), locates Okeechobee County in the 1 %g (peak acceleration) area. Because of this very low rating the Florida Division of Emergency Management does not require local Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans to address earthquakes as a hazard that is likely to affect our residents and visitors. Therefore, an earthquake assessment will be excluded. 10 Tsunamis — According to FEMA 386-2 CD, Florida has a relatively low tsunami risk and The Florida Division of Emergency Management does not require local plans to address tsunamis as a hazard. An assessment will be excluded. Coastal and Riverine Erosion — Okeechobee County is an inland county and therefore not directly subject to coastal erosion hazards. Besides Taylor Creek, the only other body of moving water is the Kissimmee River which flows south from Lake Kissimmee to Lake Okeechobee, forming the county's western boundary. Erosion is not a hazard, and an assessment will be excluded. Landslides/Sinkholes — According to the USGSA website, Okeechobee County has less than 1.5% susceptibility for a landslide incident. However, sinkholes are a common, naturally occurring geologic phenomenon and one of the predominant landforms in Florida. Many of the lakes in Florida were formed by sinkholes. Sinkholes are depressions or holes in the land surface that occur throughout west central Florida. They can be shallow or deep, small or large, but all are a result of the underlying limestone dissolving. Hydrologic conditions including lack of rainfall, lowered water levels, or conversely, excessive rainfall in a short period of time, can all contribute to sinkhole development. Sinkholes can be classified as geologic hazards, sometimes causing extensive damage to structures and roads, resulting costly repairs. Sinkholes can also threaten water supplies by draining unfiltered water from streams, lakes and wetlands, directly into the aquifer. Hurricanes and Coastal Storms — A hurricane is a severe tropical storm that forms in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricanes develop in warm, tropical waters, where moisture is plentiful, and winds are light. A hurricane can produce violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains and floods. Other coastal storms produce similar, yet lesser effects. Hurricanes are categorized by the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale: Category Wind Speed Storm Surge Damage 1 74 — 95 mph 4 — 5 feet Minor 2 96 — 110 mph 6 — 8 feet Moderate 3 111 — 130 mph 9 — 12 feet Major 4 131 — 155 mph 13 — 18 feet Extensive 5 156 mph > 18 feet > Catastrophic Sever Storm/Tornadoes — Tornadoes are one of nature's most violent storms. A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes come in all shapes and sizes, and can occur anywhere in the United States, at any time of the year. In southern states, peak tornado season is March through May. 11 • Tornadoes are categorized by the Fujita scale: Category Damage Wind Speed FO Minor < 72 mph F 1 Moderate 73 — 112 mph F2 Significant 113-157 mph F3 Sever 158 — 206 mph F4 Devastating 207 — 260 mph F5 Incredible 261 > mph Floods — Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural disaster, except fire. A flood, as defined by the National Flood Insurance Program website is a "general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of tow or more properties from": • Overflow of inland or tidal waters, • Unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from land source, or • A mudflow. Floods can be slow or fast rising, but generally develop over a period of days. Wildfires — the National Interagency Fire Center website rates Florida in the low fire damage class. However, as a mostly rural county, much of Okeechobee County remains in the high to moderate probability category for wildfires. Wildfires can erupt at any time of the year from a variety of causes, including arson, lightning, and debris burning. Florida's wildfire season normally runs from December to June, with the larges/greatest number of acres burned peaking in May. In April and May, Florida usually has a dry spell. This is because the frontal passages from the north and west are no longer moving through the state and the summer thunderstorm activity has not yet started. Dam/Levee Failure — There are no dams in or near Okeechobee County that can fail and create a severe flood hazard. However, Lake Okeechobee does utilize earthen levees around its border, but only a small portion of the county's population border the lake. With the deepest part of the lake at only 9 feet, combined with the mitigation measures already in place by the Water Management Districts resulted in a very low rating of this hazard. An assessment is excluded. Drought/Heart Wave — A drought is a period of abnormally dry weather which persists long enough to produce serious hydrologic imbalance such as crop damage, water shortage, etc. The severity of the drought depends on the degree of moisture deficiency, the duration and the size of the affected area. 12 • u There are 4 ways to define drought: Meteorological — means a measure of the departure of precipitation from normal. Due to climatic differences, what is considered a drought in one location may not be a drought in another location. Agricultural — refers to a situation when the amount of moisture in the soil no longer meets the needs of a particular crop. Hydrological — occurs when surface and subsurface water supplies are below normal. Socioeconomic — refers to what occurs when physical water shortage begins to affect people. Winter Storms/Freezes — According to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS), a moderate freeze may be expected every 1-2 years. Severe freezes may be expected on an average of once every 15 to 20 years. Temperatures in the 20s can last for as long as 6 — 8 hours from December — March causing hard freezes. Freezes pose a major hazard to the agriculture industry in Okeechobee County on a recurring basis, and are a significant threat to the economic vitality of the State's vital agriculture industry. 13 i is i yT _ FlO l Ell f bL�r!!1► i • C' Pubk/SwnF-Publk FodIMN• 0"1-9- 8 P—J.

Map 2.1 (KPSP) XII Hurricanes and Coastal Storms Location and Extent — Simply being in Florida makes Okeechobee County vulnerable to the affects of hurricanes and tropical storms. However, the geographical location protects residents from storm surges associated with hurricanes, but not the severe winds. Previous Occurrences — In 2004 Okeechobee County was directly impacted by two hurricanes, while indirectly affected by two others. Hurricane Charley made landfall on August 13`h, Frances on September 4`t', Ivan on September 16'h, and hurricane Jeanne on September 26t'. Total damages in Okeechobee County are still being determined. The population of Okeechobee County at the time was around 37,481 residents. Prior to the 2004 season, only hurricanes David in 1979 and Irene in 1999 along with Tropical Storms Jerry in 1995 and Mitch in 1998 have impacted the county within the last 10 years. Probability of Future Events — According to NOAA's website, Central Florida has a 50% probability of being struck by a named storm. Recent history indicates that residents can expect a storm to affect Okeechobee County every 2-3 years, and the most likely event will be a Category 3 or lesser storm. Vulnerability and Impact — Okeechobee County is very vulnerable to the effects of a hurricane. Over 7,842 or 50.6% of residence are in low laying areas and mobile home parks while over 63% of all county residents live in mobile home trailers that are subject to evacuation for a Category 1 hurricane and over 15,504 residencies, or 35,910 residents for a Category 3 or greater storm. Existing Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — Over 17,510 homes and businesses would receive moderate to minor damage from a Category 3 hurricane. There are also 139 critical facilities located within the Category 3 storm impact area. Future Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — There are dozens of lots for sale throughout Okeechobee County and building will continue until build -out occurs. With growth comes the need for a larger infrastructure resulting in critical facilities being located in vulnerable areas. Human and Economic Impact — Following the direct impact of a hurricane many residents will be unable to return to their homes. Many mobile/manufactured homes will be destroyed and repairs to other homes that are uninhabitable may take weeks/months to complete. Some may choose to never return to their homes as was the case following Hurricane Andrew. The economic impact will vary greatly. Many small businesses will close forever while others will prosper. Home repair, carpet and appliance businesses will experience short-term increases in business. Other businesses, particularly those associated with tourism or real estate sales, will suffer. Potential Dollar Losses to Structures — The risk assessment data for wind -related damage in Okeechobee County are based on data developed for the MEMPHIS, which was developed by the FDEM. Wind -related damage in either a 100-year or 50 year event 15 • could cause light damage to structures in Okeechobee County. A 25-year event could lightly damage one-third of the structures in Okeechobee County, and a 10-year event should cause no damage. The table below illustrates the value of damaged structures and population in certain storm return periods. Damage 100-Year Event 50- Year Event 25-Year Event 10-Year Event Number of Structures 16,985 17,406 16,953 3,465 -Light Damage Number of Structures 524 0 0 0 -Moderate Damage Number of Structures 0 112 565 14,053 -No Damage Value of Structures $1,122,054,400 $1,134,276,096 $1,083,977,728 $166,177,216 -Light Damage Value of Structures $16,767,305 0 0 0 -Moderate Damage Value of Structures $910,694 $5,455,974 $55,754,196 $973,554,304 -No Damage Population inLightLight 34,645 35,910 35,260 4,164 Damage Population in Moderate 1,265 0 0 0 Damage Population in No 0 0 650 31,746 Damage Furthermore, according to this assessment, a Category 5 storm has the potential to destroy or damage all structures in Okeechobee County. A Category 3 storm would place the majority of structures in the moderate damage category. And a Category 1 storm would cause minor or no damage to structures in Okeechobee County. Table below displays the wind -related exposure in Okeechobee County for hurricane -strength storms.

Because of the vulnerability to hurricane force winds, future construction is subject to the State's stringent building codes, and county zoning requirements regarding flood zones.

Floods regularly affect hundreds of homes and several roads for many days every few years. Previous Occurrences — In the past 50 years, several minor flooding events have occurred causing almost S3 million in damages. The most significant event occurred on September 15, 1994. Two synoptic -scale systems, one tropical and one non -tropical brought heavy rain to most of peninsular Florida the last half of September. Rivers and streams, particularly in the west central counties of Citrus, Polk, Hillsborough, Sarasota, Hardee, Desoto and Manatee Counties, overflowed, flooding roadways and inundating or isolating residential areas. Other sections of Florida, particularly the northeast and east central, experienced urban flooding which closed roads and flooded schools and homes in Duval County and flooded subdivisions in Flaglcr, Volusia, St. Johns and Brevard counties as well as in Wakulla County in northwest Florida. In southern interior Florida, flooding of swampy areas around Lake Okeechobee damaged some roadways in Hendry Countv and isolated houses in Glades and western Palm Beach Counties. Damages totaled S500,000. (Source: National Weather Service website) Probability of Future Events Heavy rains and fresh water flooding occur in cycles that many now attribute to the "El Nino". Whatever the reason, there is a long history of flooding in Okeechobee County and most of central Florida. This trend is expected to continue. Vulnerability and Impact — For the relatively few people who live along the Kissimmee River, the banks of Lake Okeechobee, or other low-lying areas, vulnerability is high and the impact great. For the County as a whole, vulnerability and impact is low moderate. Existing Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — There are only 3 critical facilities located in the 100-year Flood Plain and several sections of road that are normally affected. Damages are usually minor and repaired quickly. There are approximately 328 residential structures that either have been or could be affected in the future. Future Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — All future construction will be above the 100-year flood plain. Human and Economic Impact — To the victims of a flood, the impacts are great. Most cannot return to/live in their homes until repairs and clean-up are completed. Even with flood insurance, the cost to the homeowner can be in the thousands. Conversely, floods are often profitable for some businesses, such as those specializing in flooring, appliances and furniture. 49 LJ • Potential Dollar Losses to Structures - There are a total of 366 structures currently in the 100 year floodplain. Damages from a future major event could cause over S20 million not including the long term lost revenue from impacted businesses. Land Uses and Development Trends Development in the 100-year flood plain is strictly controlled by the County. All new construction must be elevated above the base flood elevation.

However, the fact that the entire State of Florida is subject to conditions conducive to the hazard, the entire county could potentially be affected. Previous Occurrences -- Searches of the USGS, FEMA, and South Florida Water Management District websites and databases resulted in no records of reported sinkholes in Okeechobee County. It is entirely possible that sinkholes have occurred that were reported to insurance companies rather than a government agency. Probability of Future Events — It is extremely likely that this trend will continue. In recent years, periods of drought and heavy rain have caused marry sinkholes to occur. Vulnerability and Impact — If sinkholes were to occur in Okeechobee County, their impact could range from minor damage to a home or road, to an entire city block. The impact could potentially increase significantly if Okeechobee City were affected. Existing Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities Homes, roads, Fire Stations and Libraries could all potentially be affected by sinkholes. Future Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities See the Land Uses and Development Trends section below. Human and Economic Impact — Many of the homes vulnerable to sinkholes are owned by retirees. With the average annual income per capita in the S25,000 to S30,000 range, most residents do not have sufficient insurance and are unable to pay for major repairs. Sinkholes could affect the economy in several ways: Reduced real estate sales and profits Provided a boom in business for sinkhole stabilization companies Created new businesses that by homes at bargain prices for repair and resale/rent Potential Dollar Losses to Structures — According to LRE, a local ground service company that repairs dozens of homes for insurance companies in central Florida each year, the average cost to stabilize a home due to sinkhole damage is $50,000 and repairs average $2,500. Most homes are insured, however, uninsured losses may become more frequent as affordable insurance becomes less available. Land Uses and Development Trends Like most of Florida, Okeechobee County's population is growing and developments will likely to be planned or proposed. The denser the population, the greater the chance for future damages due to sinkholes.

Based on mapping by the Florida Division of Forestry, the entire unincorporated area of the county is at high to moderate risk due to dense underbrush and the high number of wooded areas. Previous Occurrences — In the past 25 years, minor fires have burned several acres throughout the county. However, the most significant fires were the Eagle Island fire in January 1982 that burned 10,800 acres, and the Park fire in April 2001 that burned 17,000 acres. (Source: Division of Forestry website — Fire Reporting System) Probability of Future Events — Controlled/prescribed burns are an effort to control outbreaks of wildfires by burning the underbrush, which would contribute significantly to fueling flames. Because of these regularly scheduled burns, the likelihood of a major wildfire is normally low to moderate. During periods of drought the probability increases from moderate to high. Vulnerability and Impact — Because so much of the County is undeveloped green space vulnerability is high while the impact would be moderate. If a major wildfire were to occur, the biggest impact would be the loss of the green space itself. Most populated areas can be protected at the cost of the forest. Existing Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — Few buildings border heavily wooded areas and even fewer critical facilities. Future Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — See Land Use and Development Trend maps in the Introduction. Human and Economic Impact — To those directly affected by the fire the impact is significant. However, the economic impact would be extremely small. Potential Dollar Losses to Structures — With 5,587 residential and commercial structures in the moderate to high rated areas of the county, the potential dollar losses could exceed $400 Million. However, according to US Forestry statistics, the average major fire burns approximately 210 acres or a little over 3/ of a square mile, so the expected damage costs would be significantly less. Land Uses and Development Trends — Most development is in south central Okeechobee County, away from heavily forested acres. Future development is expected to continue this trend. Those communities that are/may be vulnerable to wildfires are encouraged to follow the recommendations of the Firewise USA program.

Every year damages range from a few hundred to half a million dollars. Previous Occurrences — In the past 50 years, 18 tornadoes (FO — F2) and 40 severe storms have been documented in Okeechobee County by the National Weather Service (website). Several of these storms produced lightning strikes that caused significant damage. Total damages approached $13.6 million. The most recent (last 10 years) tornado events occurred on May 12, 1996 and March 9, 1998. In 1996 a small FO tornado touched down on the northwest shore of Lake Okeechobee just east of the Kissimmee River. The tornado moved east northeast for about 200 feet and overturned a travel trailer killing the only occupant. About 60 other trailers and mobile homes received minor damage. Total damages cost about $50,000. In 1998 an F1 tornado touched down along the north shore of Lake Okeechobee near Highway 441. The tornado moved northeast though Okeechobee damaging six businesses and nine homes. Thirteen mobile homes and recreational vehicles were destroyed. About 100 others were damaged. Ten people were injured. Two required hospitalization. Total damages were $5.4 Million. Probability of Future Events — Sever weather is a common occurrence in Florida and it is extremely likely this will continue in the future. Vulnerability and Impact — Central Florida is very vulnerable to sever weather, particularly when the east coast sea breeze flows across the state and collides with the west coast sea breeze at the height of daily heating, in the late afternoon. The impact can range from short-term power outages to major damage to structures. Existing Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — Every structure in Okeechobee County could be damage by a sever storm, tornado or lightning strike. Future Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — All future construction will be completed to comply with more stringent building codes/requirements. Damage to roofs and manufactured homes will be less on average. Human and Economic Impact — In the past 50 years only 2 people have been killed and 30 injured in Hernando County by sever weather events. If a worst -case event were to occur, such as an F3 tornado, 2 deaths and 30 injuries (State average for an F3 event) could be expected. Individual/localized damages have caused a major impact to families and neighborhoods, particularly mobile home parks. Because events are frequent, several businesses have started to specialize in making fast repairs to storm damages. Potential Dollar Losses to Structures — Based on records of previous occurrences in Okeechobee County, each event averages just over $25,000 and the most costly event was $5.4 Million. A worst -case future occurrence of an F3 tornado impacting the most densely developed part of the county (Okeechobee City) could affect 2,102 homes. A worst case scenario event, involving major damage to a quarter of the homes in Okeechobee City, (average county home value is $77,600) would create over a $40 million event. To put these estimates in perspective, Florida has experienced 37 F3 tornadoes in the past 50 years. Damages have averaged $6.7 million and the costliest event was $50 million. Land Uses and Development Trends — Like most of Florida, Okeechobee County's population is growing and many developments are planned or proposed. The denser the population, the greater the chance for future damages. Jurisdictional Risk Assessment — All jurisdictions are high risk.

The extent of damage is normally minimal. In 2001 the State's citrus crop was 6% less than normal because of a two-year drought. Lawns and landscape that can only be watered in compliance with regional watering restrictions are also affected by drought. Previous Occurrences — Minor droughts occur every few years. They are usually associated with a "La Nina" event. The last occurrence was from 1999 to 2001. According to the National Weather Service website, the most serious event occurred in South Florida from May 2000 to May 2001. Below normal rains caused $100 million in crop damages. However, no drought or heat wave events have been reported in Okeechobee County. Probability of Future Events — It is very likely that cycles of reduced rains will continue to cause hydrological droughts in the future. Vulnerability and Impact — If water levels drop to a point were water restrictions are expanded to include agriculture, both vulnerability and impact will increase significantly. Existing Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — No impact Future Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — No impact Human and Economic Impact — To date there have been no recorded human or significant economic impacts from droughts in Okeechobee County. However, being an agricultural county, a major long-term hydrological drought that causes the loss of an entire year's crops could cause more than $36 million in damages and millions more to lawns and landscaping. A more likely event would result in a 5-10% reduction in crop yield and only $1.8 to $3.6 million in losses. Economically, a drought could also impact the county's $108 million annual livestock industry. Potential Dollar Losses to Structures — None Land Uses and Development Trends — The more the growth the greater demand on the water supply. Increased development throughout the county and in the entire region may soon cause hydrological drought to become a hazard of much greater significance. Jurisdictional Risk Assessment — All jurisdictions are at low risk. 93 XVIII Winter Storms/Freezes Location and Extent — The entire county can be affected by freezes. However, except for Okeechobee City, the extent of damage is greatest in the rest of the county where farms/groves are located. In just the last 5 years 38 freezes have caused $30.5 million in damages to crops in Central Florida. (Source: National Weather Service website) Previous Occurrences — While it is known that severe freezes have and do occur in Florida, the NOAA Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., the world's largest reservoir of archived climate and weather data dating back to 1895 has no record of any freeze events in Okeechobee County. Probability of Future Events — It is extremely likely that multiple freezes will occur each year. Several are likely to be hard freezes that could damage crops. Vulnerability and Impact — The citrus industry is the most vulnerable to freezes. Currently Okeechobee County consists of 638 farms totaling 392,497 acres that produce an average of $144,376,000 in crops each year. (Dept. of Agriculture website) Existing Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — No impact Future Buildings, Infrastructure and Critical Facilities — No impact Human and Economic Impact — For growers the impact can vary greatly. A major freeze that causes the loss of an entire year's crops could cause more than $36 million in damages. It is highly unlikely that this worst -case scenario could occur. In recent years citrus has been affected very little by freezes. New hybrids and growing techniques have limited the impact of freezes significantly. A more likely event would impact 5-10% of crop production and cause only $1.8 to $3.6 million in losses. Potential Dollar Losses to Structures — None Land Uses and Development Trends — As indicated previously, farm lands and groves are being lost to new areas of development. Most are in 5-acre tracts and are being billed as mini farms/ranchettes.

The probability, vulnerability, impact and potential losses total the highest of all natural hazards assessed. Because many mitigation programs, policies and projects are available to reduce future losses, this hazard should receive the most emphasis. Flooding is one of the most likely natural hazards to cause damage to Okeechobee County. Floods are frequent occurrences and there are several mitigation programs, policies and projects available to reduce future losses. The major threat of Sinkholes is the human and economic impact. Although there are currently few mitigation measures that government can undertake, future sinkhole mitigation should be given consideration by the LMS workgroup. The threat of Wildfires may be moderate, but their future impact could be significant and cause the loss of a major natural resource. Mitigation measures are possible and affordable. Severe Storms and Tornadoes are a way of life in Central Florida. There are few cost effective ways to mitigate the effects of a 150-200 mph tornado, and even fewer ways for governments to assist. The major impact of Drought/Heat Wave is to our water supply. Water restrictions and other conservation measures have been implemented and/or encouraged in recent years, but few other mitigation measures are available. The LMS workgroup may want to include support of water conservation efforts in the updated strategy.
