A. 2. a) Motion to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 990 Council Member Watford moved to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 990 and transmit to the and transmit to the Department of Community Affairs for review. Department of Community Affairs for review, seconded by Council Member L. Williams. b) Public comments and discussion. This ordinance pertains to Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07-CII- 001 submitted by Attorney John Cassels, on behalf of Joe Rasco, for property owners 151h Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC, joint venture, from Single Family (SF) to Multi -Family (MF). The Planning Board reviewed the application at their May 17, 2007 meeting and unanimously recommends denial and found it inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Staff Report reflects the following findings: A. Consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Element. Policy 2.1: The requested change to Multi -Family land use designation is consistent with the statement of criteria for this land use category, which reads as follows: (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. Policy 2.3: The application partially meets the requirements of this policy in that it identifies the various required natural resources and environmentally sensitive components of the property listed in the Policy. While the applicant appears to have taken the necessary steps to protect the eagle's nest, the Applicant identifies four wetland areas on the site but preserves only three. It appears that the fourth wetland located in the northwest corner of the property is to be converted to a lake. This is not consistent with the requirements of Policy 2.3 that there be "no net loss of wetlands." The applicant should show how the proposed design meets this requirement. AGENDA III. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE II-2007 CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. DUNE 7, 2007 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 3 OF 11 COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION,,7 VOTE_ Planning Staff Report Policy 2.3 continued. The applicant should also comment on how the other requirements of this policy and the intent of policy 7.2 which is similar in that it requires protection of environmentally sensitive areas from disruption of their natural functions, will be met in the development. Other Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. While there are other specific policies contained in the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element and the Conservation Element that are applicable to this application, they relate primarily to environmental considerations that are expressed in Policy 2.3 of the Future Land Use Element discussed above. Other applicable policies in these and other elements of the Plan relate to concurrency. These are addressed in the following section of this review. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Before the large scale amendment can be approved, the impact of the proposed change and associated development on public facilities must be determined and found not to be adversely affecting the City's ability to continue to meet its level of service standards. While the Applicant has included some brief statements with regard to the provision of certain of the public facilities and services, specific analysis or confirmation of the capacity available to serve the proposed development has not been provided. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gallons/capita/day (gpcpd). The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA), which provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the proposed 294 units is expected to be about 90,000 gallons per day (gpd) [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 114 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. Note, as stated at the May 17 Planning Board Meeting, Planning Staff has received all required information on this matter. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the OUA. The wastewater flows for the proposed development are estimated at 103,000 gpd [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 130 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. Note, as stated at the May 17 Planning Board Meeting, Planning Staff has received all required information on this matter. • , • DUNE 7, 2007 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 4 of 11 r AGENDA t> COUNCIL AC1 [ON - DISCUSSION- VOTE III. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE II-2007 CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. Planning Staff Report continued. Solid Waste Disposal: The City's adopted LOS is 13 pounds/capita/day and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would generate approximately 10,300 pounds/day of solid waste [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 13 pounds/day]. The applicant must provide a letter from Okeechobee County confirming that the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development. Note, as stated at the May 17 Planning Board Meeting, Planning Staff has received all required information on this matter. Recreation and Open Space: The City's adopted LOS for Recreation and Open Space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's population by about 794 persons [294 x 2.7 persons per household]. The development will need approximately 2.4 acres of land devoted to recreation and opens space in order to meet the adopted LOS for parks. The Applicant needs to specifically identify lands within its development that will be devoted to recreation and open space in a meaningful manner, or otherwise commit to in -lieu -of fees or direct site transfers as provided for in Policy 2.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element in order to comply with the City's LOS and fair -share cost provisions contained in Policy 5.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code. The Applicant has provided a Drainage Statement explaining the Pre -Development condition and the Post -Development stormwater management system. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. The Applicant has submitted a traffic impact report prepared by LBFH for the proposed development. Traffic Analysis: There are still significant traffic issues to be addressed for this application. The listed requirements below have not been adequately addressed according to Planning Staff's Transportation Consultant. These requirements must be met in order to establish that the LOS for the impacted roads in the City is not degraded by the proposed Plan Amendment. Further, the Plan Amendment must be consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies 7.1 (LOS Standards) and 7.2 (Concurrency Management System LOS). 1. AADT Service Volumes as presented in Table 4-1 are not acceptable. The adopted LOS for principal arterial remains as "C" and for other roads as "D" per Concurrency Management System, Sec. 74-5.1.f & Sec. 74-7 (6). 2. The existing roadways serving the site within 1 mile radius area of influence indicating lanage, functional classification, current LOS, and LOS standard. 3. The critical links and intersections within the 1 mile area of influence needs to be determined. Turn movement counts need to be adjusted. • .TUNE 7, 2007 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 5 of 11 ... AGENDA . - COUNCILACTION - D19CUSSION - VOTE III. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE II-2007 CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. Planning Staff Report Traffic Analysis continued. 4. Daily/PM Peak Trip generation for the maximum density allowed under the new land use designation minus the maximum density under the existing land use designation commensurate with the appropriate trip generation rates for each land use per ITE Report 7ch Edition or Later. 5. Project traffic distribution to the links and intersections within the area of influence. As presented, the percentages do add up to 100%, but it is not clear on what basis. 6. Short Range/5 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 7. Long Range/10 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 8. The recently approved development (2006 and later) and other concurrent developments impacts such as Southern Trace and Blue Heron need to be included as future background traffic. 9. Needed improvements to meet concurrency at build out per Section 74-8 (b). Please note that based on the 2005 traffic counts done by FDOT, all segments of US 441 and SR 70 within the City are at LOS F, except for the 4 lane section of US 441 from SR 70 to CSX Crossing. Furthermore, it is our understanding that there are no proposed improvements scheduled prior to 2015 with the City (partially) except for four laning of US 441 from CSX Crossing to Cemetery Road. 10. The applicant's recommended off -site improvements, such as modified timings for intersections, needs to be approved by FDOT. Furthermore, even with modified timings, EB (AM & PM)/WB (PM) SR 70/US 441 (Parrott Ave.) indicate LOS F. Note, as stated at the May 17 Planning Board Meeting, Planning Staff has received all required information on this matter. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The property is proposed to be developed in a PUD involving a variety housing types at a density of 4.6 dwelling units per acre. The areas surrounding the Lakehouse project are developed primarily in single-family uses at somewhat lower density than proposed for the Lakehouse project. Multi- family densities are frequently compatible with nearby single-family development. The most dense area of development, the area devoted to apartment homes, is located in the northern part of the property just west of the existing church. This area is also immediately adjacent to rear yards of the single family homes fronting on SW 10`h Avenue. This area will need buffering to avoid potential negative impacts associated with the more dense multi -family area proposed in the Lakehouse project. Sensitive treatment should also be given to the single-family areas bordering the areas proposed for row homes which are also developed at higher net densities than the nearby single-family properties. Conclusions. Planning Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the following requirements should be met: 1. The areas identified as regulated resources in Exhibit E shall. be incorporated as a Conservation Land Use category on the Future Land Use Map when amended. 2. Need to be an explanation of what is to be done with Wetlands number one in Exhibit E. • DUNE 7, 2007 - SPECIAL MEETING -PAGE 6 OF 11 Lg AGENDA , t _ COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSI4N - VC>•E. III. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE II-2007 CONTINUED. III A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. 1 Planning Staff Report Conclusions. 3. The density of the Multi -Family category for this site should be limited to the current maximum Single -Family density of 255 dwelling units. 4. Transportation impacts shall be found not to degrade current LOS for affected roadways. 5. Confirmation of other available infrastructure should be confirmed as outlined above. 6. Applicant needs to address the need for providing adequate open space recreation land. In light of the issues that are listed above, Planning Staff does not feel that adequate information is available in order to make a recommendation as to the request for a change in zoning to PUD. In addition, the site plan provided to the Planning Staff is not of adequate size or detail to allow a complete review. The matter of the rezoning should be addressed after the review of the LSA has been completed. Additional items noted by Planning Staff Memorandum dated June 7, 2007 were: The Planning Staff Report dated May 9, 2007 on the Lakehouse Large Scale Amendment application, identified six issues that still needed to be addressed prior to Planning Staff being able to make a positive recommendation for this Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Prior to or during the public hearing before the LPA, on May 17, 2007, the Applicant addressed these six concerns in the following ways: has agreed to conditions recommended by Planning Staff and either submitted the necessary documentation addressing Planning Staff's concerns or committed to providing the required documentation. Specifically, the Applicant has done the following: 1. Agreed at the LPA meeting to designate the eagle protection zone and wetlands as Conservation on the City's Future Land Use Map and include this Future Land Use category when the Plan is amended. 2. Submitted documentation in the form of a letter from Ecological Consulting of Florida explaining how the wetlands number one is being treated and how the proposed project meets the requirement for "no net loss of wetlands" contained in Policy 2.3 of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Agreed at the LPA meeting to limit density to no more than 255 dwelling units, the maximum allowable under the current Single -Family land use category. Should this be approved there will be a site specific Future Land Use Policy for this application which limits the density to 255 dwelling units. 4. With the limitation of density to the maximum now allowed under the Single -Family land use category, there will be no additional traffic generated above that associated with maximum development under the present Future Land Use designation. The Applicant has submitted analysis supporting that. The actual traffic distribution and potential impact upon roadways in the City will be determined in greater detail during the rezoning and site plan review stages of the project. .TUNE 7, 2007 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 7 OF 11 AGENDA I. OQ..t NCIL'ACTION -DfSCUSSIQI=VQTI`:..I Ill. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE II-2007 CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. Planning Staff Memorandum continued. 5. A letter from OUA has been submitted substantiating the availability of adequate capacity to provide potable water and sanitary sewer treatment for the anticipated population of the project. The Applicant has requested a similar letter from Waste Management regarding the available capacity of the landfill to provide for solid waste disposal. Waste Management has provided verbal confirmation and the letter has been sent, but not as yet been received. Planning Staff is aware that there is adequate landfill capacity to serve the proposed project. 6. Agreed at the LPA meeting to provide adequate recreation and open space, sufficient to meet the demand for recreation associated with the project's expected population of 689 persons, at the City's level of service standard of three acres per persons. Planning Staff's recommendation, based on the above issues being addressed, is that the proposed Amendment is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; we recommend approval and transmittal to DCA for review. Attorney John Cassels spoke on behalf of property owners, and stated that at the May 17, 2007 Planning Board meeting the board members expressed their views, and at this time, would like to welcome the opportunity to present facts to the Council. First of all, there is no affiliation between the project located to the North of this development. Mr. Cassels remarked that this request is for Multi -Family with a PUD requirement. With a PUD, the Council will have control, "what you see is what you get." He also mentioned the property will be maintained, and is compatible and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Joe Rasco, of Strait Real Estate, Chief Financial Officer of development, gave his rendition of the project. The family has resided in Okeechobee for over 20 years. They own Rio Ranch, and other properties in town, and have established a good creditable reputation. Mr. Rasco remarked that this would be a new product to the area, and this would assist with the need for housing nurses, teachers and young professionals moving or relocating to the area. The development would consist of eighty-eight rental villas, (eight rental units to a building), nine plantation style homes, fifteen villas, twenty-four bungalows, twenty-two cottages and ninety-six row homes. The price range for these homes would be mid three hundred thousand dollars to five hundred thousand dollars. The architecture is of the Old Florida Cracker style. Amenities would consist of pedestrian friendly streets, walking trails around lake area, a clubhouse and a pool. The clubhouse would be used for offices, gathering rooms and exercise equipment. • DUNE 7, 2007 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 8 OF 11 AGENDA COUNCIL A CT[ON D[SCUSSION -VOTE III. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE II-2007 CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. 1 1 Mr. Jeff Sumner of LBFH Engineering, and project engineer, addressed the Council regarding drainage, noting that the project cannot create any off -site flow. The utility authority has submitted letters stating the adequate availability for water and wastewater capacity. They are still working with Dr. Cooper, Superintendent of Schools, and the School Board for the necessary requirements regarding the impact of the schools. The residents of this project will be the first to pay the newly adopted impact fees for schools and the City. The planned design of the project has allotted protection of environmental areas, especially to protect the eagle nest. Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public? There were over one hundred citizens present with the majority in favor of the Planning Boards recommendation of denial. Mr. Mike Ford, residing at 1396 Southwest 19" Terrace spoke of his concern of the density, and would like it to be the same as the existing Single Family. Ms. Shannon Stripling, residing at 1000 Southwest 41h Avenue, stated her concern that teachers would not be able to afford the price range of these homes. There needs to be some kind of guarantee that this project will be developed as it is being proposed, should the project fall through. Lastly, noting the drought and what impacts a development of this size would have on the available water supply. Ms. Carol Landrum, residing at 915 Southwest 9`h Street, stated that she liked the idea of the project. She submitted two additional letters from neighbors who could not attend that were also in favor of approving the project. Mr. Travis Chambers, residing at 1300 Southwest 101h Avenue, stated that they chose to buy their home in the southwest section since it was dominantly Single Family. Should this be changed to Multi -Family it will affect the value of the existing homes and the tax base will fall. Mrs. Sylvia Bandi, residing at 705 Southwest 10'h Avenue, distributed to the City Clerk, eighty-five signatures objecting to this land use change. She mentioned that being a teacher of eleven years, she knows that these homes would not be affordable. She then asked the Council to honor the Planning Boards recommendation of denial. Mr. Bill Bartlett, residing at 603 Southwest 10'h Avenue, remarked that he did not find the proposed project to be compatible with the surrounding Single Family land use area. He stated that it would be different had the project already been built in the area. Then there would be a choice of whether or not to invest buying your home nearby this development or not. 806 DUNE 7, 2007 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 9 OF 11 AGENDA" COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSIOt 13TE III. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE II-2007 CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. Mr. Mack Worley, residing at 39 Southwest 28" Terrace, owns two properties across from subject property. He stated that he would like a gesture of certainty that what is proposed is what will happen. As a builder, he has noticed that the traditional family oriented way of life is back in demand, and that this project appears to be well innovating to promote that lifestyle. Mr. Scott Hunt, on behalf of his mother, Mrs. Peggy Hunt, residing at 306 Southwest 15`h Street, spoke about being cautious. The metaphor used was, we have been sold the sizzle, not the steak. The developer has shown the highlights being the environmental protection area for the eagle, the lake, the club house and pool, the attractive architect, but the bottom line is we are getting a multi -family development that is inconsistent and incompatible with the surrounding community. Mr. Hunt distributed a picture of the area taken from the property appraisers website showing the proposed subject property and the surrounding single family area for clarity. Mr. Marvin Wherrell, Jr., residing at 107 Southwest 2nd Street, on behalf of his mother, residing at 600 Southwest 6" Street, who has lived in the Southwest section for forty plus years, and on behalf of his family, stated that there is a drainage problem in the area and until it is corrected this development will have an impact. He requested this property stay at its present land use designation. Mr. Will Russ, residing at 502 Southwest 151h Street, requested the Council deny the project. His concern is drainage. Mr. Mike Long, residing at 2208 Southwest 28' Street, Villa #34, expressed his support of the project and stated that it is an exceptional project with an exceptional development team. Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, residing at 405 Northwest 3`d Street, expressed that she is building a new home adjacent to the subject property. One of the deciding factors of choosing this section to build their home was because it was designated single family. Her question was, "What happens should the development falter and the eagle flies away?" Also, the schools are already crowded, with this type of development there will be an impact on the schools. She asked that the Council please consider the recommendation of denial from the Planning Board. Mrs. Brenda O'Connor, residing at 1020 Southwest 7tn Avenue, reviewed some concerns which were written in letter form and distributed to Clerk Gamiotea. These concerns being: drainage issues, effect of property values and tax base in the area, protection of wildlife, traffic congestion and the.over population of the schools. She asked that the Council deny this request. • , • DUNE 7, 2007 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 10 OF 11 A IENDA COUNCIL=,- N - DISCUSSION -1(OTE III. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR CYCLE II-2007 CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion continued. Ms. Janice Douglas, on behalf of her father, residing at 506 Southwest V Street, remarked that there is a severe drainage problem in the area, and also what guarantees that what is said to be developed will be developed. She has experienced living in areas where they were promised nice, upscale developments, and then they never came to pass. Ms. Deara Thompson, residing at 1605 Southwest 5`h Avenue, remarked that there is a concern of too much congestion and traffic. Also, she could not understand how the development could be supplied with water and sewer when there are those already existing that can not get it. Mayor Kirk then brought the discussion from the floor to the Council. Council Member Watford asked several questions. 'What type of buffer is intended?" Mr. Sumner replied, "At this point, the type of buffer has not been determined, most likely natural type will be used." 'Who will maintain the open spaces?" Mr. Sumner replied, `The home owner or developer will be responsible for maintaining the area." 'Will the hiking trail and park be available and open to the public?" Mr. Sumner replied, "Yes." 'Who will maintain the internal streets of the development?" Mr. Sumner replied, 'This issue has not been determined at this time, but would be during the platting stage." Council Member Watford asked, "Who will manage the rental properties?" Mr. Rasco replied, 'That they will have their own rental management." 'Will the traffic be the same as single family use?" Mr. Mohsen Salehi replied, "According to national studies, single family uses generate twice as many trips as multi -family. It is estimated that single family makes ten trips per day whereas multi -family makes five trips per day." "Council Member Watford asked, "What the prvccuure is to lie in the land use change with the rezoning change of Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the transmittal?" Mr. LaRue answered, `The recommendation of the Council will be submitted for transmittal review by DCA. The rezoning public hearing can be at the same time and contingent upon the approval of the land use change." He also noted that the second hearing cannot take place until the PUD ordinance has been adopted. Mayor Kirk asked, 'What happens should this request be passed, and then the newly revised PUD regulations, that will not be considered for final adoption until July 3, does not get adopted?" City Attorney Cook replied, `The applicant submitted their application before the PUD moratorium was in effect. Their PUD Rezoning Application will be reviewed using the existing PUD regulations in the Code Book." Council Member L. Williams remarked, "We are growing, and this development will benefit Okeechobee by helping the tax structure. The property will be developed, it is inevitable, and at least the Council will have more control of the development should the PUD zoning be approved."

ADJOURN MEETING - Mayor. COUNCIL �)CUSSION - VOTE Council Markham stated that he voted "No" for the PUD Ordinance, and this change would be incompatible and inconsistent. The Southwest section is predominantly single family. He would not support a large change to multi- family in the center of the single family area. Council Member C. Williams, agreed with Council Member Markham that this change is inconsistent and incompatible for the Southwest section. He did like the plans but they are being proposed in the wrong section. He also noted for the record that he had business ties to Mr. Rasco, however, it does not constitute a conflict of interest as it would not insure a special private gain or loss. Attorney Cook reminded the Council that their vote was to be governed by rules and not base their vote on popular opinion. Mr. LaRue asked that at the time of the vote, those who are not in favor state their reason. VOTE KIRK - NAY MARKHAM - NAY WATFORD - YEA C. WILLIAMS - NAY L. WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION DENIED.

The Planning Board reviewed the application at their May 17, 2007 meeting and recommends denial. ct�F vt(-C`b usr5f IQk P4.4 1z c t t! C V-fu 4 The Planning Staff s: A. Consistency with the, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Element, Policy 2.1(b): The requested change to Multi - Family land use designation is consistent with the statement of criteria for this land use category, which reads as follows: (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. Policy 2.3: The application partially meets the requirements of this policy in that it identifies the various required natural resources and environmentally sensitive components of the property listed in the Policy. While the applicant appears to have taken the necessary steps to protect the eagle's nest, the Applicant identifies four wetland areas on the site but preserves only three. It appears that the fourth wetland located in the northwest corner of the property is to be converted to a lake. This is not consistent with the requirements of Policy 2.3 that there be "no net loss of wetlands." The applicant should show how the proposed design meets this requirement. The applicant should also comment on how the other requirements of this policy and the intent of policy 7.2 which is similar in that it requires protection of environmentally sensitive areas from disruption of their natural functions, will be met in the development. Other Elements of the Comprehensive Plan, While there are other specific policies contained in the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element, and the Conservation Element that are applicable to this application, they relate primarily to environmental considerations that are expressed in Policy 2.3 of the Future Land Use Element discussed above. Other applicable policies in these and other elements of the Plan relate to concurrency. These are addressed in the following section of this review. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Before the large scale amendment can be approved, the impact of the proposed change and associated development on public facilities must be determined and found not to be adversely affecting the City's ability to continue to meet its level of service standards. While the Applicant has included some brief statements with regard to the provision of certain of the public facilities and services, specific analysis or confirmation of the capacity available to serve the proposed development has not been provided. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gallons/capita/day (gpcpd). The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA), which provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the proposed 294 units is expected to be about 90,000 gallons per day (gpd) [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 114 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. The existing capacity of the surface and ground water supply plants are _ million gallons per day (mgd), with _ mgd already committed to use (including all recent Plan amendments and development approvals). As such, the OUA has an excess of _ mgd and therefore has adequate capacity to serve the proposed development and maintain the City's adopted level of service. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the OUA. The wastewater flows for the proposed development are estimated at 103,000 gpd [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 130 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between and gpd already committed to use (including all recent Plan amendments and development approvals). As such, the OUA has a minimum of gpd of excess capacity. The OUA has stated that plans are underway to construct an addition to the plant which will permit an additional 3 MGD. Solid Waste Disposal: The City's adopted LOS is 13 pounds/capita/day and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would generate approximately 10,300 pounds/day of solid waste [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 13 pounds/day]. The applicant must provide a letter from Okeechobee County confirming that Page -3- the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development. Recreation and Open Space: The City's adopted LOS for Recreation and Open Space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's population by about 794 persons [294 x 2.7 persons per household]. The development will need approximately 2.4 acres of land devoted to recreation and opens space in orderto meet the adopted LOS for parks. The Applicant needs to specifically identify lands within its development that will be devoted to recreation and open space in a meaningful manner, or otherwise commit to in -lieu -of fees or direct site transfers as provided for in Policy 2.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element in orderto comply with the City's LOS and fair -share cost provisions contained in Policy 5.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code. The Applicant has provided a Drainage Statement explaining the Pre -Development condition and the Post -Development stormwater management system. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. The Applicant has submitted a traffic impact report prepared by LBFH for the proposed development. Traffic Analysis: There are still significant traffic issues to be addressed for this application. The listed requirements below have not been adequately addressed according to Staff's Transportation Consultant. These requirements must be met in order to establish that the LOS for the impacted roads in the City is not degraded by the proposed Plan Amendment. Further, the Plan Amendment must be consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies 7.1 (LOS Standards) and 7.2 (Concurrency Management System LOS). 1. AADT Service Volumes as presented in Table 4-1 are not acceptable. The adopted LOS for principal arterials remains as "C" and for other roads as "D" per Concurrency Management System, Sec. 74-5.1.f & Sec. 74-7 (6). 2. The existing roadways serving the site within 1 mile radius area of influence indicating lanage, functional classification, current LOS, and LOS standard. 3. The critical links and intersections within the 1 mile area of influence needs to be determined. Turn movement counts need to be adjusted. 4. Daily/PM Peak Trip generation for the maximum density allowed under the new land use designation minus the maximum density under the existing land use designation commensurate with the appropriate trip generation rates for each land use per ITE Report 7" Edition or Later. 5. Project traffic distribution to the links and intersections within the area of influence. As presented, the percentages do add up to 100%, but it is not clear on what basis. 6. Short Range/5 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 7. Long Range/10 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 8. The recently approved development (2006 and later) and other concurrent developments impacts such as Southern Trace and Blue Heron need to be included as future background traffic. 9. Needed improvements to meet concurrency at buildout per Sec. 74-8 (b). Please note that based on the 2005 traffic counts done by FDOT, all segments of US 441 and SR 70 within the City are at LOS F, except for the 4 lanes section of US 441 from SR 70 to CSX Crossing. Furthermore, it is our understanding that there are no proposed improvements scheduled prior to 2015 with the City (partially) except for four laning of US 441 from CSX Crossing to Cemetery Road. 10. The applicant's recommended off -site improvements, such as modified timings for intersections, needs to be approved by FDOT. Furthermore, even with modified timings, EB (AM & PM)/WB (PM) SR 70/US 441 (Parrott Ave.) indicate LOS F. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The property is proposed to be developed in a PUD involving a variety housing types at a density of 4.6 dwelling units per acre. The areas surrounding the Lakehouse project are developed primarily in single-family uses at somewhat lower density than proposed for the Lakehouse project. Multi -family densities are frequently compatible with nearby single-family development. The most dense area of development, the area devoted to apartment homes, is located in the northern part of the property just west of the existing church. This area is also immediately adjacent to rear yards of the single family homes fronting on SW 10`h Avenue. This area will need buffering to avoid potential negative impacts associated with the more dense multi -family area proposed in the Lakehouse project. Sensitive treatment should also be given to the single-family areas bordering the areas proposed for row homes which are also developed at higher net densities than the nearby single-family properties. Conclusions. Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the following requirements should be met: 1. The areas identified as regulated resources in Exhibit E shall be incorporated as a Conservation Land Use category on the Future Land Use Map when amended. 2. Need to be an explanation of what is to be done with Wetlands number one in Exhibit E. 3. The density of the Multi -Family category for this site should be limited to the current maximum Single - Family density of 255 dwelling units. 4. Transportation impacts shall be found not to degrade current LOS for affected roadways. 5. Confirmation of other available infrastructure should be confirmed as outlined above. 6. Applicant needs to address the need for providing adequate open space recreation land. In light of the issues that are listed above, Staff does not feel that adequate information is available in order to make a Page -4- recommendation as to the request for a change in zoning to PUD. In addition, the site plan provided to the Staff is not of adequate size or detail to allow a complete review. The matter of the rezoning should be addressed after the review of the LSA has been completed. Memorandum from Staff dated June 7, 2007: The Staff Report dated May 9, 2007 on the Lakehouse Large Scale Amendment application, identified six issues that still needed to be addressed prior to Staff being able to make a positive recommendation for this Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Prior to or during the public hearing before the LPA, on May 17, 2007, the Applicant addressed these six concerns in the following ways: has agreed to conditions recommended by Staff and either submitted the necessary documentation addressing Staff's concerns or committed to providing the required documentation. Specifically, the Applicant has done the following: 1. Agreed at the LPA meeting to designate the eagle protection zone and wetlands as Conservation on the City's Future Land Use Map and include this Future Land Use category when the Plan is amended. 2. Submitted documentation in the form of a letter from Ecological Consulting of Florida explaining how the wetlands number one is being treated and how the proposed project meets the requirement for "no net loss of wetlands" contained in Policy 2.3 of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Agreed at the LPA meeting to limit density to no more than 255 dwelling units, the maximum allowable under the current Single -Family land use category. If approved there will be a site specific Future Land Use Policy for this application which limits the density to 255 dwelling units. 4. With the limitation of density to the maximum now allowed under the Single -Family land use category, there will be no additional traffic generated above that associated with maximum development underthe present Future Land Use designation. The Applicant has submitted analysis supporting that. The actual traffic distribution and potential impact upon roadways in the City will be determined in greater detail during the rezoning and site plan review stages of the project. 5. A letter from OUA has been submitted substantiating the availability of adequate capacity to provide potable water and sanitary sewer treatment for the anticipated population of the project. The Applicant has requested a similar letter from Waste Management regarding the available capacity of the landfill to provide for solid waste disposal. Waste Management has provided verbal confirmation and the letter has been sent, but not as yet been received. Staff is aware that there is adequate landfill capacity to serve the proposed project. 6. Agreed at the LPA meeting to provide adequate recreation and open space, sufficient to meet the demand for recreation associated with the project's expected population of 689 persons, at the City's level of service standard of three acres per persons. Staff's recommendation, based on the above issues being addressed, is that the proposed Amendment is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; we recommend approval and transmittal to DCA for review.- ; � UOtic 0 M1 L (CLiA- 0 Aj Cut u O/U-L) Pak (/C/)- Qi4 -Al (��,i U (ic(lLillWvI PI 0,,� GJ� lac cl- Z� AIP S( Pik 0 c.

The Planning Board reviewed the application at their May 17, 2007 meeting and recommends -deniaL - Page -3- the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development. Recreation and Open Space: The City's adopted LOS for Recreation and Open Space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's population by about 794 persons [294 x 2.7 persons per household]. The development will need approximately 2.4 acres of land devoted to recreation and opens space in order to meet the adopted LOS for parks. The Applicant needs to specifically identify lands within its development that will be devoted to recreation and open space in a meaningful manner, or otherwise commit to in4eu-of fees or direct site transfers as provided for in Policy 2.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element in order to comply with the City's LOS and fair -share cost provisions contained in Policy 5.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25-year/24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code. The Applicant has provided a Drainage Statement explaining the Pre -Development condition and the Post -Development stormwater management system. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. The Applicant has submitted a traffic impact report prepared by LBFH for the proposed development, Traffic Analysis: There are still significant traffic issues to be addressed for this application. The listed requirements below have not been adequately addressed according to Staff's Transportation Consultant. These requirements must be met in order to establish that the LOS for the impacted roads in the City is not degraded by the proposed Plan Amendment. Further, the Plan Amendment must be consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies 7.1 (LOS Standards) and 7.2 (Concurrency Management System LOS). 1. AADT Service Volumes as presented in Table 4-1 are not acceptable. The adopted LOS for principal arterials remains as "C" and for other roads as "D" per Concurrency Management System, Sec. 74-5.1.f & Sec. 74-7 (6). 2. The existing roadways serving the site within 1 mile radius area of influence indicating lanage, functional classification, current LOS, and LOS standard. 3. The critical links and intersections within the 1 mile area of influence needs to be determined. Turn movement counts need to be adjusted. 4. Daily/PM Peak Trip generation for the maximum density allowed under the new land use designation minus the maximum density under the existing land use designation commensurate with the appropriate trip generation rates for each lane use per ITE Report 7`h Edition or Later. 5. Project traffic distribution to the links and intersections within the area of influence. As presented, the percentages do add up to 100%, but it is not clear on what basis. 6. Short Range/5 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 7. Long Range/10 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 8. The recently approved development (2006 and later) and other concurrent developments impacts such as Southern Trace and Blue Heron need to be included as future background traffic. 9. Needed improvements to meet concurrency at buildout per Sec. 74-8 (b). Please note that based on the 2005 traffic counts done by FDOT, all segments of US 441 and SR 70 within the City are at LOS F, except for the 4 lanes section of US 441 from SR 70 to CSX Crossing. Furthermore, it is our understanding that there are no proposed improvements scheduled prior to 2015 with the City (partially) except for four laning of US 441 from CSX Crossing to Cemetery Road. 10. The applicant's recommended off -site improvements, such as modified timings for intersections, needs to be approved by FDOT. Furthermore, even with modified timings, EB (AM & PM)/WB (PM) SR 70/US 441 (Parrott Ave.) indicate LOS F. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses, The property is proposed to be developed in a PUD involving a variety housing types at a density of 4.6 dwelling units per acre. The areas surrounding the Lakehouse project are developed primarily in single-family uses at somewhat lower density than proposed for the Lakehouse project. Multi -family densities are frequently compatible with nearby single-family development. The most dense area of development, the area devoted to apartment homes, is located in the northern part of the property just west of the existing church. This area is also immediately adjacent to rear yards of the single family homes fronting on SW 101h Avenue. This area will need buffering to avoid potential negative impacts associated with the more dense multi -family area proposed in the Lakehouse project. Sensitive treatment should also be given to the single-family areas bordering the areas proposed for row homes which are also developed at higher net densities than the nearby single-family properties. Conclusions. Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the following requirements should be met: 1. The areas identified as regulated resources in Exhibit E shall be incorporated as a Conservation Land Use category on the Future Land Use Map when amended. 2. Need to be an explanation of what is to be done with Wetlands number one in Exhibit E. 3. The density of the Multi -Family category for this site should be limited to the current maximum Single - Family density of 255 dwelling units. 4. Transportation impacts shall be found not to degrade current LOS for affected roadways. 5. Confirmation of other available infrastructure should be confirmed as outlined above. 6. Applicant needs to address the need for providing adequate open space recreation land.

Property is located between Southwest Montebello 13 LLC, Joint Ventures to change the Future Land Use Single Family 6h Street and Southwest 15`h Street and is approximately 63.78 acre(s). The proposed use is to construct a Planned Unit (SF) to Multi -Family (MF). Property is located between Southwest 6' Street and Development (PUD) of Residential Single Family and Multi -Family units maintaining a density equal to or less than Single Southwest 15'h Street and is approximately 63.78 acre(s). The proposed use is Family designation. to construct a Planned Unit Development (PUD) of Residential Single Family and Multi -Family units maintaining a density equal to or less than Single Family City Planner, Mr. Jim LaRue addressed the Board regarding Application No. 07-CII-001. He referred to the density of Multi - designation - Planning Consultant. Family as being a major concern for the Planning Staff. Transportation concerns are also part of the density issue. He reported that the Planning Staff has asked for a report from South Florida Water Management (SFWM) regarding the conservation areas. Infrastructure is also an issue that Planning Staff will be working on with Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). Buffering against the residential area would be addressed at site plan time. Mr. Mohsen Salehi, traffic analyst for LaRue Planning and Management, stated that there are two main arteries in the City, State Route (SR) 70 and US Highway 441 (Parrott Avenue). Based on Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) 2005 traffic data, for SR 70 to CSX crossing, Level Of Service (LOS) is F, and from CSX crossing East towards Northeast 181h is also showing a LOS - F. US 441 is also FDOT maintained and showing LOS - C. Generally FDOT is approximately a year behind. Within a month they will issue 2006 traffic data. This was based on two lanes for Hwy 441, not existing four lanes that are now in place. Ratings for LOS are A = free flow with individual users virtually unaffected by the presence of others in the traffic stream. Volume to capacity ratio of less than 0.60 and average travel speed of more than 30 miles per hour (mph). B = stable flow with a high degree of freedom to select speed and operating conditions but with some influence from other users. Volume to capacity ratio is 0.61 to 0.70 with an average travel speed of 24 to 29 mph. C = restricted flow which remains stable but with significant interactions with others in the traffic stream; the general level of comfort and convenience declines noticeably at this level. Volume to capacity ratio is 0.71 to 0.80 with an average travel speed of 18 to 23 mph. D = high density flow in which speed and freedom to maneuver are severely restricted and comfort and convenience have declined even though flow remains stable. Volume to capacity ratio is 0.81 to 0.90 with an average travel speed of 14 to 17 mph. MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS - PAGE 3 OF 16 V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A. Consider Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map E = unstable flow at or near capacity levels with poor levels of comfort and convenience. Volume to capacity ratio 0.91 to Amendment Application No. 07-CII-001 continued. 1.00 with an average travel speed of 10 to 13 mph. F = forced flow in which the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount that can be served, and lines form, characterized by stop -and -go waves, poor travel times, low comfort and convenience, and increased accident exposure. Volume to capacity ratio is more than 1.00 with an average travel speed of less than 10 mph. Mr Salehi stated that approximately in one month there will be 2006 LOS codes available, which could impact this project findings. LaRue Planning Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the following requirements should be met: 1. The areas identified as regulated resources shall be incorporated as a Conservation Land Use category on the Future Land Use Map when amended. 2. Explanation of what is to be done with Wetlands. 3. The density of the Multi -Family category for this site should be limited to the current maximum Single -Family density of 255 dwelling units. 4. Transportation impacts shall be found not to degrade current LOS for affected roadways. 5. Confirmation of other available infrastructure should be confirmed. 6. Applicant needs to address the need for providing adequate open space recreation land. In conclusion, LaRue Planning Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the above requirements should be met. Board inquired as to the traffic impact on Southwest 15`h Street? Mr. Salehi answered that the comprehensive plan requires LOS E for minor arterial's, this issue would be addressed at a later date. Technical direction will be handled at the zoning level, reported Mr. LaRue. Mr. John Cassels, Attorneyforthe owners, Jeff Sumner, Engineerwith LBFH, Incorporated, Consulting Engineers, Surveyors and Mappers, and Jose Rasco property owner spoke on their behalf. Mr. Sumner described the project as submitted as a mix of attached and detached homes for people who have to work for a living. This will not be sub -standard housing. This would be an opportunity for people to live in a community who do not wish to care for yards, but want the benefit of having a yard. We have been very attentive for what will work in Okeechobee. Mr. Sumner reported that he has been in contact with the LaRue Planning Staff, Waste Management, concerning land fill, and confirming partnership with Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA), and the School Board. He also stated that they will deal with all impact fees and have reduced the density to Single Family levels. He explained the redesign to add a one and a half acre linear park on Southwest 9" Street, and said that this will not be a gated community. MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS - PAGE 4 OF 16 V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A. Consider Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Mr. Sumner then told about the environmentally sensitive areas of the project, and how with nature trails the project will meet Amendment Application No. 07-CII-001 continued. 11 the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. He also made the statement, that what you see is what you get. They will not present one plan and produce another. Mr. Jose Rasco, property owner and CFO in charge of the development stated that his family had been around Okeechobee for 20 years, and has a working ranch on SR 70. The Lakehouse project has been in development for two years. Mr. Rasco stated that he wants to build a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) with a type of land plan that would cluster homes to protect open spaces. He reported that approximately 45% of the land has been set aside as open space. The project will be pedestrian friendly with sidewalks and will provide the residents with a 5,000 square foot club house under air conditioning, two swimming pools, and several lakes, most of the lakes being passive activity due to the eagles nest and restrictions by Fish and Wildlife, and the water management district. Old Florida or Cracker Style architecture was taken into consideration when developing this project. The mix of accommodations would be single family homes, town homes and rental villas or apartments. Also including in the project green building features, such as energy saving appliances. The prices would be starting in the mid $300,000.00 for the single family homes and mid $200,000.00 for the town homes. New home owners, retirees and existing Okeechobee residents would be the target residents. Mr. Rasco announced that he would provide his e-mail address for anyone wishing to contact him for further information. Mr. Sumner spoke regarding issue policy 2.3 of the Comprehensive Plan, which requires protection of environmentally sensitive lands and specifically no net loss of wetlands. Since the submission of the application in December the State permitting process for the mitigation plan has been complete and submitted to the Water Management District. He stated that the project does not yet have that permit, but have been through two rounds of reviews with the National Resource Management Division of Water Management District and have worked through all mitigation issues. Potable water supply and waste disposal have been addressed by letter from OUA in the form of developers agreement. Mr. Sumner reported that Mr. Rasco was one of the original developers who stepped up to the plate and wrote a check to the OUA for the plan expansion which will be completed in 2008. Mr. Sumner said that they have not yet received a letter from Jeff Saban of Waste Management. Mr. Saban did however, e-mail verification of adequate land fill available for this project, but a letter would be forth coming Recreation and open space have been addressed by reduction of building for a park and several smaller village greens, small parks scattered throughout the development. In the South side, out of the 50 acres there is a little over 23 acres dedicated to open space, that's 46%. In the North there is a little over five acres of the 13 dedicated to open space and recreation space. For the entire site there is approximately 45 % set aside for recreation area and or open space, which does not include the yards between the houses. Traffic will be addressed in the next level. Density was dropped back to the level that is currently allowed for the area. He stated that, that fact alone would satisfy the traffic impact.

Mr. Sumner answered that it is located in the Amendment Application No. 07-CII-001 continued. middle of the project. There will be walkways and trails around the lakes, with restrictions for the nesting seasons. There is a 100 foot circle restriction that is part of the management plan. That's a protection for the eagle that the developer feels is warranted. Mr. Rasco stated that the project will be done in phases. The first phase is estimated to be single family homes with future development to be North from Southwest 151h Street. The rental apartments will probably be the last to develop. Mr. Cassels addressed the Board regarding Objective 8, policy 8.1 of the City Comprehensive Plan. Objective 8 says the City of Okeechobee will promote use of various and innovative land development techniques. Policy 8.1 says the City will amend its land development regulations to encourage development techniques which mix and distribute land uses to accomplish the following: A. Make the most efficient possible use of existing public facilities. B. Recognize and preserve distinctive natural features of the development site. C. Protect environmentally sensitive areas within the site. We request you change C to say The Lakehouse, because we feel that this project certainly addresses and furthers this Policy and Objective of the Comprehensive Plan. Chair Ledferd asked if there were any comments from the public. Mr. Rickie Blackwell, Southwest 24`h Avenue, Sylvia Bandy, Southwest 101h Avenue, Deara Thompson, Southwest 5" Avenue, Billy Baugh, Southwest 5th Avenue, Ryla Black, Southwest 71h Avenue, Elizabeth Maxwell, Northwest 3`d Street, Scott Hunt, Southwest 151h Street, Brian King, Southwest 14th Court and Marvin Wherrel, Southwest 2"d Street all expressed concerns of the development regarding traffic, drainage, public facilities, and overcrowding. Vice Chair Hoover asked how this petition is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan when there are none in the area? Mr. LaRue remarked that a PUD is better for open space. Mr. LaRue instructed the Board that this was not a zoning issue, this is a Land Use issue. The zoning issue would be addressed at a later date. Board Member Maxwell replied that he would like to hold out for Single Family PUD. Board Member McCoy asked what the minimum lot size was for Single Family within a Single Family PUD? Mr. Brisson replied that the lot size is 40 X 100 or 4,000 square feet. Board Member O'Connor inquired if the City would have more control if the zoning were PUD versus Single Family? Mr. LaRue replied, yes. Board Member McCoy stated that this was a noble cause, however, it appears the Multi -Family line is drawn at Southwest 6" Street. Board Member Burroughs said there was a lot of talk about Multi -Family a year ago, several hundred units that were never developed. We need smart growth management. We, the City need to pay attention to resources. MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS - PAGE 6 OF 16 V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A.

Consider Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07-005-SSA submitted by Steve Dobbs, on behalf of property owner InSite Development Group to change the Future Land Use from Single Family (SF) to Multi -Family (MF) for vacant property located between Northwest 51h and 7`h Avenues and Northwest 111h and 1 S' Streets. Legal description: all of Blocks 11, 12, 21 and 22, City of Okeechobee Subdivision, and is approximately 11.29 acre(s). This succeeds the 10 acre limitation as allowed for an area designated Rural Area of Critical Economic Concern. The proposed use is to construct a multi -family development. This application was postponed from April 19, 2007 regular Meeting. Mr. Brisson, Senior Planner addressed the Board and stated that at the last regular Planning Board meeting almost all the facts pertaining to Application No. 07-005-SSA were covered. This is the second half of the land to be developed. The first half to the East has been approved. For the most part, the applicant has supplied additional information as requested. All that remain are minor requests. Primarily we require a couple of letters. One on the utilities for OUA and one on Solid Waste Authority which Mr. Brisson believes are forth coming. The traffic is the other concern. In general, the findings of the traffic study, while there would be some increase in traffic the LOS now is sufficient. There would be an insignificant increase and as a result of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment it is fairly minimal. Mr. Mohsen Salehi reported based on SR 70 LOS - F, trips that trickle down from the development would be in the acceptable range. Based on limitation of roadways, we need to cautiously proceed with changing density. Chair Ledferd inquired if LOS - F is the worst rating. Mr. Salehi replied yes.

LaRue, AICP RE: Update of May 9, 2007 Staff Report for the Lakehouse The Staff Report dated May 9, 2007 on the Lakehouse Large Scale Amendment application, identified six issues that still needed to be addressed prior to Staff being able to make a positive recommendation for this Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Prior to or during the public hearing before the LPA, on May 17, 2007, the Applicant addressed these six concerns in the following ways: has agreed to conditions recommended by Staff and either submitted the necessary documentation addressing Staff s concerns or committed to providing the required documentation. Specifically, the Applicant has done the following: Agreed at the LPA meeting to designate the eagle protection zone and wetlands as Conservation on the City's Future Land Use Map and include this Future Land Use category when the Plan is amended. 2. Submitted documentation in the form of a letter from Ecological Consulting of Florida explaining how the wetlands number one is being treated and how the proposed project meets the requirement for "no net loss of wetlands" contained in Policy 2.3 of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Agreed at the LPA meeting to limit density to no more than 255 dwelling units, the maximum allowable under the current Single -Family land use category. If approved there will be a site specific Future Land Use Policy for this application which limits the density to 255 dwelling units. 4. With the limitation of density to the maximum now allowed under the Single - Family land use category, there will be no additional traffic generated above that associated with maximum development under the present Future Land Use t. June 7, 2007 City Council Update of May 9, 2007 Staff Report for the Lakehouse designation. The Applicant has submitted analysis supporting that. The actual traffic distribution and potential impact upon roadways in the City will be determined in greater detail during the rezoning and site plan review stages of the project. 5. A letter from OUA has been submitted substantiating the availability of adequate capacity to provide potable water and sanitary sewer treatment for the anticipated population of the project. The Applicant has requested a similar letter from Waste Management regarding the available capacity of the landfill to provide for solid waste disposal. Waste Management has provided verbal confirmation and the letter has been sent, but not as yet been received. Staff is aware that there is adequate landfill capacity to serve the proposed project. 6. Agreed at the LPA meeting to provide adequate recreation and open space, suffi- cient to meet the demand for recreation associated with the project's expected population of 689 persons, at the City's level of service standard of three acres per persons. Staff's recommendation, based on the above issues being addressed, is that the proposed Amendment is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; we recommend approval and transmittal to DCA for review. cc: Brian Whitehall, City Administrator John Cook, City Attorney Lane Gamiotea, City Clerk Melisa Eddings, Deputy Clerk Betty Clement, General Services Coordinator 2 of 2 City of Okeechobee General Services Department 55 S.E. 3" Avenue, Room 101 Date:( Petition No. _ Fee Paid: c;o Jurisdiction: s' t- 1st Hearing: �,C 2nd Hearing: Okeechobee, Florida 34974-2903 Phone: (863) 763-3372, ext. 218 Fax: 863 763-1686 Publication Dates:? �j.f�°(,° �., g 7 FI-14 v Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment Application Please Check One: Small Scale Amendment (Under 10 Acres) ►f Large Scale Amendment (Over 10 Acres) ✓ Name of property owner(s): 15" Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC, Joint Venture A Owner mailing address: 701 Brickell Avenue, Suite 1740, Miami, FL 33131 P LNa1ne of applicant(s) if other than owner (state relationship): Jose Rasco, CFO for Owners c Applicant mailing address: 701 Brickell Avenue, Suite 1740, Miami, FL 33131 A N Name of contact person (state relationship): John D.

The central portion of the development will have primary access onto 6th Street but will be connected to the southern portion of the project and will have access to 15th Street. The southern portion of the development, below the wetland preserve, will have a primary access onto 15th Street but will be connected to the north such that access will be possible onto 6th Street_ A copy of the proposed site plan for this project is included as Exhibit 1. The project site is surrounded by local roadways. There are connections, however, to the arterial network. Traffic, once leaving the site, will have numerous ways to connect to the arterial roadway network. A brief description of the area roadways is included here. • SR 70 in this vicinity is a four lane divided facility. Left turn lanes are provided in the center median of this existing facility. • US 98/441 (Parrott Avenue) is also a four lane divided facility with turn lanes in the median. • SW 6th Street and SW 9th Street are two lane roadways with uncontrolled access via driveways. • SW 15th Street is a two lane roadway with some discontinuities at about its intersection with SW 5th Street that serves to slow traffic through the area.

The growth of traffic in the area was estimated by combining data from the FDOT Traffic Information 2005 data set along with recent trends in the area. Based on the data from FDOT, forecasts for traffic growth in the area for the next ten .years is'likely to be just under 2% per year. This same data package indicated growth over the past ten years to be just below 3% per year. 'Although the past 4 years experienced growth at a slower rate, it was felt that a more conservative approach to the estimate should be made in order to ensure that low estimates are avoided. Consequently, a growth rate for the expected life of this project was selected at 2.5% per year_ For the planning year of 2009, the daily traffic volumes for the roadway links were factored to reflect the anticipated growth. A 2.5% annual growth rate was applied along with a peak season factor in each instance. Table 3 details the anticipated growth in traffic of the adjacent roadways over the projected life of this project.

Capacity is typically given a letter designation from A to F denoting acceptable to unacceptable. The Generalized Tables from FDOT are typically used as an initial basis for making a determination as to whether or not operating conditions will be acceptable under specific volumes of traffic. A copy of the section of the Generalized Tables used for this project is included as Exhibit 2. Table 3 includes a summary of the general level of service thresholds for the roadways in the vicinity of the project. The capacities listed for SR 70, US 441, and US 98 are Level of Service (LOS) C. The capacities for the remaining local roadways are LOS D. These service levels were obtained from the Okeechobee County Code of Ordinances. The segment of SR 70 east of Parrott Ave currently exceeds the assigned capacity threshold. SR 70 from SW 48th Ave to its intersection with US 98 is nearing the noted threshold and will exceed capacity if anticipated growth continues. According to the Okeechobee County Code of Ordinances, (5.00.02 — Applicability of level of service standards) SR 70 from CR 70A to US 98 rind from NE 180h Avc to SR 710 is classified as a �xx:F,f�;gged i<+�:iiity 4°�n��re the sew<<cr> iF1 rr�irtt<�in and iFnprove The values provided in the generalized tables are derived from a specific set of operating conditions that could be expected to be used where traffic is operating at non -critical levels of service. Actual operating conditions are frequently different and a detailed arterial analysis may indicate that the roadway has an operating capacity above the limit given in the generalized tables. ;Roadway Improvements FDOT currently has no immediate plans for major roadway improvements in this general area. A project has recently been completed on SR 70 that continued the four lane treatment to just west of US 98. There are long range plans being made for improvements to SR 70 in the region as an element of the intra-state highway program. No immediate improvement plans were found, however, within the area potentially impacted by this project.

Traffic that is associated with approved projects that are not yet being constructed must be accounted for in the impact analysis for the design year. There are no projects that have been identified within the influence area of this proposed project that would have an impact that is not adequately addressed in the overall growth rate for traffic in the area. Project Traffic Volumes Traffic volumes from the project have been distributed to the roadway network in accord with information noted previously in this report. This distribution indicates that approximately 20% of the traffic will be destined for points to the north; about 22% to the west and north toward Brighton and Lake Placid; and the remainder to the east and south toward St_ Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach Counties.

Rocadway L-ink Analysis ,'W06 Anal sis- Existing Conditions A traffic simulation network was developed to include the intersections along SR 70 from SR-98 to NE 10'h Street_ This network provides a basis for evaluating the capacity of the corridor based upon the signalized intersections within the corridor and the operating conditions that exist at the intersections. Current signal operating data was obtained from FDOT, With current operating data along with traffic volume data, an assessment of C\Documentsand Serrmg,,�Jdc.CASSEIS 000\1,ocal Settings\Temporary lntemet t,.1es10L.KBMIA The Lakehouse (2)_doc h4c. current operating conditions can be made. Data obtained from FDOT is included in Exhibit 3. Y The operating parameters for the signalized intersections through the immediate area were input into the traffic simulation network and level of . service parameters -were calculated for the -existing, traffic conditions. Current level of service calculations indicates that conditions, at present, are reasonably good in both travel directions. An increased amount of delay and a somewhat slower travel time is evident at the major intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue. The chart shown below summarizes both the morning and afternoon operating conditions for SR 70. The increased signal delay time and slow operating speeds at the intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue are evident during both peak traffic periods. The slower speed and higher delay to the eastbound travel direction is attributable to the very heavy volume of traffic turning left onto Parrott Avenue southbound from SR 70. The overall level of service, however, is within acceptable limits. A similar series of calculations was performed for the intersections along Parrott Avenue. The chart below summarizes the operating conditions currently being experienced alone (hip roadway segment i Current level of service on SR 70 through the area is B in the morning and C in the afternoon. Parrott Avenue has level of service B during both the morning and afternoon peak traffic periods. Exhibit 4 contains details of this analysis. 2006 Ap@fysis- With Project Added The same network was used and the project traffic was added to the volumes on the impacted links. The results are summarized in the charts included below. LOS numbers for eastbound SR 70 are impacted the greatest amount. This impact is due to the increased volume of traffic turning south onto Parrott Avenue. The chart below summarizes the impacts to Parrott Avenue. Conditions along Parrott Avenue remain at LOS B. Overall, the effect of adding the full impact of the proposed project to the roadway network under current conditions will have a relatively minor impact on traffic operating conditions. Exhibit 5 contains details of this analysis. C:\Documents and Semngs\jdc CASSELS 000\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Ffle�\OI KB2\TIA The Lakehouse (2).doc 10 A741 2009 Analysis- Withput Project. The analysis for 2009 conditions was performed only _ for the afternoon peak period. The afternoon period is the critical period of the day for traffic in Okeechobee as well as other areas of South Florida. Summary operating condition charts are included below for the two corridors with traffic projected for the year 2009 used as the basis for analysis. Current signal operations were continued for this initial analysis. The information contained here indicates that operating conditions on roadways within the study area will be reduced slightly due to normal growth in traffic volumes that is expected over the time period noted. Conditions will remain at an acceptable level and congestion will remain to be a concern for the intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue. Exhibit 6 contains details of this analysis. 2009 Analysis- With Project Traffic Added �A!hen project tmf€ic is added to the ?009 -wo the ��pEr�Itir�g results t��r,lli��;ed, there i� Tittle ins tilde overall operating parameters. The results clearly indicate that the overall growth in traffic within the region will have a greater impact on operating conditions than will the proposed development project. Exhibit 7 contains details of this analysis. Conclusions The overall impact of the proposed project is minimal. This is due, in part, to the fact that the surrounding roadway network offers several potential points of ingress and egress from the site. Levels of service for some roadway links are likely to be above the adopted limits with or without this project. The project will consume only about 1.6% of the adopted level of service on the most heavily impacted roadway link. The intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue will remain the critical intersection within the area.

I Staff Report Applicant: 151h Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No.: 07-CII-001 Application Description: The applicant requests a change in the Future Land Use Map Designation for the subject property from Single Family to Multi -Family and a rezoning from RSF1 to PUD to allow development as a residential Planned Unit Development containing a variety residential uses including single-family detached residences, "row homes," and multi -family units. The subject property is currently vacant and contains four identified wetland areas and an eagle's nest. The development is proposed to contain a total of 294 dwelling units as shown in the conceptual site plan included with application (Exhibit A.3) and to be developed over a four-year period. Comprehensive Plan Analysis In order to be approved, a large scale plan amendment must be found to be consistent with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, meet the requirements for concur- rency with regard to the provision of public facilities and services, be compatible with the sur- rounding area, and be supported by adequate data and analysis. It is the Applicant's responsi- bility to provide commentary and substantiation that the above requirements have been met. A. Consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan The Applicant has not as yet substantiated how the proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable Goal, Objectives and Policies of the City_ 's Plan. The Staff does_ however. offer the follov�im-, comments. Future Land hse Element Policy 2.1 (b): The requested change to the Multi -Family land use designation is consis- tent with the statement of criteria for this land use category, which reads as follows: "(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." The Applicant has stated in the transmittal letter that the requested amendment and zoning change are intended to allow clustering of a variety of types of housing on the property to address environmental considerations and not to increase the gross density. Yet, while the number of units and density proposed are less than that allowable under the requested Multi -Family land use category, the proposal increases density by 15% over that presently allowed. Staff sees no justification for increasing the number of units on the site beyond what is currently allowed under the Single -Family land use category (i.e., 255). 0 Staff Report Applicant: 15'' Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No.: 07-CII-001 Policy 2.3: The application partially meets the requirements of this policy in that it identifies the various required natural resources and environmentally sen- sitive components of the property listed in the Policy. While the Applicant appears to have taken the necessary steps to protect the eagle's nest, the Applicant identifies four wetland areas on the site, but preserves only three. It appears that the fourth wetland located in the northwest corner of the property is to be converted to a lake. This is not consistent with the requirement of Policy 2.3 that there be "no net loss of wetlands." The Applicant should show how the proposed design meets this requirement. The Applicant should also comment on how the other requirements of this policy and the intent of policy 7.2, which is similar in that it requires protection of environmentally sensitive areas from disruption of their natural functions, will be met in the development. Other Elements of the Comprehensive Plan While there are other specific policies contained in the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drain- age, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element, and the Conservation Element that are applicable to this application, they relate primarily to environmental con- siderations that are expressed in Policy 23 of the Future Land Use Element discussed above. Other applicable policies in these and other elements of the Plan relate to concur- rency_ These are addressed in the following section of this review_ It. Concurrenc- of .Adequate Public Facilities Before the large scale amendment can be approved, the impact of the proposed change and associated development on public facilities must be determined and found not to be adversely affecting the City's ability to continue to meet its level of service standards. While the Applicant has included some brief statements with regard to the provision of certain of the public facilities and services, specific analysis or confirmation of the capacity available to serve the proposed development has not been provided. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gallons/capita/day (gpcpd). The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA), which provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the proposed 294 units is expected to be about 90,000 gallons per day (gpd) [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 114 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. The existing capacity of the surface and ground water supply plants are million gallons per day (mgd), with _ mgd already committed to use (including all recent Plan amend- ments and development approvals)_ As such, the OUA has an excess of mgd and 9 Staff Report Applicant: 151h Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No.: 07-CII-001 therefore has adequate capacity to serve the proposed development and maintain the City's adopted level of service. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gpcpd. The sub- ject property is within the service area of the OUA. The wastewater flows for the proposed development are estimated at 103,000 gpd [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 130 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between and gpd already committed to use (including all recent Plan amendments and development approvals). As such, the OUA has a minimum of gpd of excess capacity. The OUA has stated that plans are underway to construct an addition to the plant which will permit an additional 3 MGD. Solid Waste Disposal: The City's adopted LOS is 13 pounds/capita/day and 3 years avail- able landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would generate approximately 10,300 pounds/day of solid waste [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 13 pounds/day]. The applicant must provide a letter from Okeechobee County confirming that the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development. Recreation and Open Space: 1 lie Citv_s adopted LOS for Recreation and Open Space is 3 acres/ 1.000 persons_ The proposed development is projected to increase the City's popu- lation by about 794 persons 1294 x 2.7 persons per household]. The development will need approximately 2.4 acres of land devoted to recreation and opens space in order to meet the adopted LOS for parks. The Applicant needs to specifically identify lands within its development that will be devoted to recreation and open space in a meaningful manner, or otherwise commit to in - lieu -of fees or direct site transfers as provided for in Policy 2.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element in order to comply with the City's LOS and fair -share cost provisions con- tained in Policy 5.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element. Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, 25- year/24 hour duration_ The proposed development is required to meet all conditions and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code_ The Applicant has provided a Drainage Statement explaining the Pre -Development condition and the Post -Development Stormwater management system. Roads and Traffic Circulation: The City's minimum LOS standard for principal arterial roadways is LOS C. All other roads have an LOS D. This LOS must be maintained on the site for all roadways serving the site. 10 Staff Report Applicant: 151" Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No.: 07-CII-001 The Applicant has submitted a traffic impact report prepared by LBFH for the proposed development. 1. Traffic Analysis: There are still significant traffic issues to be addressed for this application. The listed requirements below have not been adequately addressed according to Staff s Transportation Consultant. These requirements must be met in order to establish that the LOS for the impacted roads in the City is not degraded by the proposed Plan Amendment. Further, the Plan Amendment must be consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies 7.1 (LOS Standards) and 7.2 (Concurrency Management System LOS). 1. AADT Service Volumes as presented in Table 4-1 are not acceptable. The adopted LOS for principal arterials remains as "C" and for other roads as "D" per Concurrency Management System, Sec. 74-5.1.f & Sec. 74-7 (6). 2. The existing roadways serving the site within 1 mile radius area of influence indicating lanage, functional classification, current LOS, and LOS standard. 3. The critical links and intersections within the 1 mile area of influence needs to be determined. Turn movement counts need to be adjusted. 4. Daily/PM Peak Trip generation for the maximum density allowed under the new land use designation minus the maximum density under the existing land use designation commensurate with the appropriate trip generation rates for each land use per ITE Report 7'' Edition or Later. 5_ Project traffic distribution to the links and intersections within the area of' influence. As presented_ the percentaLIc', do add up to l O0%_ but it is not clear on what basis_ 6. Short Range/5 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 7. Long Range/10 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 8. The recently approved development (2006 and later) and other concurrent developments impacts such as Southern Trace and Blue Heron need to be included as future background traffic. 9. Needed improvements to meet concurrency at buildout per Sec. 74-8 (b). Please note that based on the 2005 traffic counts done by FDOT, all segments of US 441 and SR 70 within the City are at LOS F, except for the 4 lanes section of US 441 from SR 70 to CSX Crossing. Furthermore, it is our understanding that there are no proposed improvements scheduled prior to 2015 with the City (partially) except for four laning of US 441 from CSX Crossing to Cemetery Road. 10. The applicant's recommended off -site improvements, such as modified timings for intersections, needs to be approved by FDOT. Furthermore, even with modified timings, EB (AM & PM)/WB (PM) SR 70/US 441 (Parrott Ave_) indicate LOS F. B. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses The property is proposed to be developed in a PUD involving a variety housing types at a density of 4.6 dwelling units per acre. The areas surrounding the Lakehouse project are Staff Report Applicant: 15t' Street Homes LLCIMontebello 13 LLC Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No.: 07-CII-001 developed primarily in single-family uses at somewhat lower density than proposed for the Lakehouse project. Multi -family densities are frequently compatible with nearby single- family development. The most dense area of development, the area devoted to apartment homes, is located in the northern part of the property just west of the existing church. This area is also immediately adjacent to rear yards of the single family homes fronting on SW I Oth Avenue. This are will need buffering to avoid potential negative impacts associated with the more dense multi -family area proposed in the Lakehouse project. Sensitive treat- ment should also be given to the single-family areas bordering the areas proposed for row homes which are also developed at higher net densities than the nearby single-family properties. Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the following requirements should be met: The areas identified as regulated resources in Exhibit E shall be incorporated as a Conservation Land Use category on the Future Land Use Map when amended. 2. Need to be an explanation of what is to be done with Wetlands number one in Exhibit E. 3. The density of the Niulti-1 amity catcgory for this site shOUld he limited to the current maximum Single-1 amity density of2�, dkveilin�L1 units. 4. Transportation impacts shall be found not to degrade current LOS for affected roadways. 5. Confirmation of other available infrastructure should be confirmed as outlined above. 6. Applicant needs to address the need for providing adequate open space recreation land. In light of the issues that are listed above, Staff does not feel that adequate information is available in order to make a recommendation as to the request for a change in zoning to PUD. In addition, the site plan provided to the Staff is not of adequate size or detail to allow a complete review. The matter of the rezoning should be addressed after the review of the LSA has been completed. Submitted by: James G.

Sw 15 16. 17 19 20. 21 - Mr. James E. Kirk, Mayor P.O. Box 3 Okeechobee, FL 34973 Dear Mayor Kirk, The purpose of this letter is to ask that you "Stick to the Comprehensive Plan" and vote against the proposed ordinance that would change the `Lakehouse' project land use from Single Family to Multi -Family. While the proposed development certainly looks attractive on paper, the simple fact is that Multi -Family housing on this property is inconsistent with the city's comprehensive plan and incompatible with area single family homes. Additionally, if granted Multi -Family Land Use, the developer would then be seeking PUD zoning under the old PUD ordinance; one that the Mr. Larue has said is antiquated and does not adequately safeguard the community, and as result, you voted to put a moratorium on. I feel that a `Yes' vote on this ordinance would ultimately be a double whammy on our community.

June 7, 2007 Mayor James Kirk Okeechobee City Council 55 SE 3`a Avenue Okeechobee, Florida 34974 Dear Mayor Kirk and Council: I would sincerely ask my letter be considered as appearing for me at the meeting this evening regarding the notice I received from concerned citizens at my home. I did not receive any other mailing from the city notifying me of this meeting or its content. I will be present to validate this letter. Attached is my letter written November 14, 2005, wherein I voiced several concerns regarding the development of the 48.70 acres directly adjacent to the ten lots I own. I purchased my home from the Rosa Lee Pearce Estate over 21 years ago. I feel the Okeechobee City Planning and Zoning Board did their research and answered the criteria for granting or not granting this request when it was earlier heard. For many years (as far back as 1980 and before) the Southwest section of town has been the residence of choice for more types of upscale building and design of homes. Even now, with the addition of Blue Heron and its surrounding homes, the city's and county's main tax base is within these same boundaries. My home and property and those around it have increased significantly over the last few years. This type of zoning and ultimate build out will not only add to the serious drainage problems we already have in the Southwest section, but will greatly affect our property values and tax base in this area. There are other properties and locations in this county that would not have such an adverse impact in many respects, as it would here. Many years ago, prior to the Land Development Regulations and Department of Community Affairs, Okeechobee County became the "dumping area" from surrounding counties for old mobile homes. For the past 15-17 years, Okeechobee County, with the adoption of these guidelines have worked diligently to correct this monumental problem of lowering property values which ultimately affects the tax base and making Okeechobee County a nicer place to live. If you over ride the City Planning and Zoning Board, and grant this re -zoning, you will make a tragic mistake that we, in the city, won't be able to "clean up" by eliminating older dilapidated units or allowing them to just expire. As a taxpayer and resident of Okeechobee for almost fifty years, I sincerely ask that you deny this request and protect not only our lifestyle, tax base, endangered species such as the eagles we see flying in and out of their nests, gopher turtles, bird life and the list goes on (which has been documented by Audubon officers, over population of our schools, traffic congestion this area cannot handle and one of the most serious concerns of all is our fragile drainage system. Sincerely, Brenda T. O'Connor 1020 SW 7th Avenue Okeechobee, Florida 34974 November 14, 2005 Ms. Katrina Cook General Se % ices Coerdlna►u= City of Okeechobee 55 SE P Avenue Okeechobee, Florida 34914 iq Re: Rezoning Peti=.icn €-5-013-Ri Aitbl el o Dear Ms. Cook: I atn writing in reference to the above rnex oned xzonirig peni oa for'hc pro". ty immediately joining the ten lots where my hom is located on SW 7 h Av_.n;te. I had an accident at rays home last week and an recaptrating; therefore, i will not ise able to attend *.he meeting tomorrow evening. I lave some concerns with the building multiple residences on this property and some of than are as follows: Immediately behind my property is a "natural" slough that is part of the drainage of the 48.70 acres and if it were to be filled in for the constructior of homes would greatly impact that area and any of our houses directly adjacent to it. When I fiat moved to this area about eigihteen years ago, there was an eagle's nest near eery home, loca.ed on the edge of this property of Altobellv's. A couple of years ag.{? X so. those eagles left . Now, there ale two new pairs of eagles cresting in this area and according to the information I received tom an Audubon officer, these new eagles must be the offspring of those who were here earlier. You t;an hear them through the woods when they are calling and they are majestic in High* as they come and go fro�h their nests. Also, this property is abundant it gopher turtles, which are endangered spccios. We have encountered wild hogs, turkeys and all kinds of wildlife throupZhoizt the years. This is the one of'the last undeveloped properties in the city where these animals and birds have emigrated to over the yews. I understand the "right ofwwnership" and tie right to sell by the owner, but I would sabmit there should be some way of prom ing these anirrals so they could eontin= to co -habitat arnong us. I heard a few years ago that Mr. Altobello was considering the prospect of leaving it a nature park.. I know there are ,Weml and state limitations regarding the eagles and ether endangered species, when it conies to development. ?Many people in :his neighborhood are aware of the abundance of nature in this area - particularly the eagles, gopher turtles, and birdiife. I hale Borne ct»iestiOns regarding the uanbe. of proposed units per acre and where the main entrance to th.- rousing development would be. The prooert}° runs from a �' 9`�' Street south to SV1j 159` Street and SW 1, 1' Street is already a narrow busy street with individual hares and driveways all along the way plus the adjoining streets. Are the residential homes immediately a43acent to this property going to be protected visually from any development that would occur? What about the drainage issues and the natural flow of drainage for that paiticular pie,e of property? The property ad;acent to me gets really wet during storms and that natural slough or pond overflows, i understand that some of these issues would need to be discussed during site -plan review; however, I feel the Zoning Board needs to be aware of some of the issues that could potentially affect and impact those of us, in the Southwest section of town, that immediately join or surround this property. We are all taxpayers and should be given consideration. T hem are too many areas of our county that have drainage problems and you cannot change the natural flow of water to suit developers' needs. We have experienced flooding on my property during heavy rains and hurricanes. I am afraid o what could potentially happen if this area is filled in. Thanking you for your time to read my letter and any consideration you could give us. I remain Sincerely, Brenda T.
