V. NEW BUSINESS —Chairperson. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC, in regards to the construction of a proposed 1,412 - square foot fast food restaurant with drive-through service including 500 square feet of outdoor dining space with associated parking located at 100 Southeast 8th Avenue, Okeechobee, FL, Lots 1 through 3, TAYLOR CREEK MANOR, as recorded in Plat Book 3, Page 4, Public Records of Okeechobee County - Senior Planner. Planning Staff Report: Mr. Ben Smith with LaRue Planning explained the subject property is a 27,980 square foot rectangular parcel located at the southwest corner of State Road 70 and Southeast 8th Avenue. The two existing buildings on the property will be demolished and replaced with the new building. No indoor seating will be offered; rather, there will be six outdoor dining tables capable of seating 24 persons. The point of service window will be located at the northeast corner of the building and the menu board with speaker is located just south. The restaurant is proposed to provide TRC - July 19, 2018 - Page 1 of 5 V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC continued. Planning Staff Report continued: food service between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., seven days a week, and the number of employees will vary from three to seven per shift. Twelve new parking spaces, including one space designated for the handicapped, will be provided to the west of the building. The dumpster and trash enclosure will be located in the northwestern corner of the site. The site is provided potable water by Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) and the Applicant has stated that "Checkers" will connect to OUA for wastewater services. The potential increase from the project is relatively small and will have no effect on the available capacities that can be provided by OUA. The County has confirmed a considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal needs. Information received from the Applicant's Traffic Engineer, Dr. Juan Ortega, concluded no Traffic Impact Statement is necessary. Through his analysis, he has further determined that full access via Southeast 8th Avenue to the proposed site is appropriate given this is the only access since the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) denial of access to State Road 70. The City enlisted Ms. Susan O'Rourke, professional Traffic Engineer, who concluded the location of the driveway met the City's Code requirement of at least a minimum of 140 -feet. She indicated there could be times when the northbound travel extends beyond the driveway. However, she further noted the site shows 85 -feet of on-site storage for waiting vehicles, which should be more than adequate. She also confirmed the proposed full access driveway on Southeast 8th Avenue can be accommodated. As per the conditions of Special Exception Petition No. 18 -001 -SE, approved on May 17, 2018 by the Board of Adjustment, the site plan was revised. A new configuration of the driveway showing a 37 - foot wide curb cut on Southeast 8th Avenue provides for a 26 -foot wide entry and an 11 -foot wide exit lane. The loading zone area and dumpster were relocated to the northwest corner of the vehicular use area eliminating the need for these service vehicles from backing out onto Southeast 8th Avenue to exit the site. Lastly, a five-foot buffer was installed along the southern property line. These changes have widened the U-turn into the site improving customer vehicular access. However, interior circulation is cumbersome for customers. In order to receive service, drive-through customers must complete a full circle through the parking lot to arrive at the service window; then go around the building again, passing through the parking lot once more and accessing the by-pass lane to exit the site. This could increase the hazards to those who also park in the lot and use the outdoor dining area. In addition, with the new placement of the loading area, a difficult pattern is created for the trucks to navigate. They need to access lanes in the opposite direction when entering and exiting the site, thereby making it necessary to have all deliveries made only during non-operating business hours. The new dumpster location requires the garbage truck to enter the property and maneuver in such a way as could possibly cause conflict and congestion unless the pick-ups occur during non- operating business hours. Waste Management can commit to serving the proposed site during off - business hours, most likely between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. The new configuration also allows for a five- foot landscaped buffer to reduce the nuisance impacts of the site's operation on the residential neighbor immediately south. The Applicant is proposing to allow for the planting of five live oaks which eventually could grow to be a six foot Spanish Stopper hedge. Given the menu board and loudspeaker for order taking is located about 35 feet from the residential neighbor to the south and. this nuisance factor is magnified by the proposal to operate the drive-through until 4:00 a.m. it would be suggested that a solid six-foot high fence also be constructed along the south property line. TRC - July 19, 2018 - Page 2 of 5 V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC continued. Planning Staff Report continued: The dimensional standards review appears to meet the requirements with the exception of the dumpster enclosure which does not meet the required ten foot minimum rear yard setback. The loading zone area is not identified and the parking space used is not the required loading space size. The required parking spaces are located where customers will need to cross the parking lot at least twice and due to the double looping required for the drive-through customers, pedestrians may be subjected to unreasonable safety hazards and as well as increased congestion as they attempt to back out due to their location. The required two feet of landscaping between the restaurant facility and vehicular use areas is not provided and a sidewalk will need to be provided along the east property line from State Road 70 south to the beginning of the driveway. In conclusion, Mr. Smith is recommending denial of the site plan, as submitted. Should the Technical Review Committee, wish to approve the site plan, he would recommend that the site be modified to address each of the following conditions: the interior circulation system is modified such that the hazard to pedestrian safety crossing the parking lot is significantly reduced; closing time is limited to not later than Midnight; limit deliveries by semis or other large trucks that must enter the site in a contra -flow direction and/or block ingress, egress, parking or interior circulation, to nonbusiness hours after 6 a.m.; a new solid fence is constructed along the southern property line with the proposed trees and shrubs (hedge) planted to the north within the five-foot landscaped buffer as presently proposed; the dumpster enclosure is moved eastward three feet to meet the required 10 - foot minimum setback, otherwise approval of a Variance would be necessary; solid waste collection is conducted only between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.; provide sidewalk (to City standards) along the west side of Southeast 8th Avenue from State Road 70 to the driveway at the south end of the property; and provide a two -foot landscaped strip between the restaurant structure and all vehicular use areas (Note: due to the nature of the drive-through service, this is likely impractical. If so, approval of a Variance is necessary.) County Environmental Health Department: No issues were received. QUA: Mr. Hayford inquired as to the water source the Applicant would be using for the landscape irrigation and the reason they were requesting such a large size meter. Normally a one inch meter is rather large for a single use restaurant. He will also need a copy of the plumbing plans to determine information regarding the grease trap. Public Works: Mr. Allen commented there appears to be a connection to an existing catch basin from the new site that ties into an FDOT drainage system which we would not be able to allow unless the Applicant justified that connection with a driveway exemption and a drainage connection permit from FDOT. Police Department: Major Hagan voiced concerns with the proposed drive-through and the fact that one must circle the site twice, noting possible congestion concerns and safety issues for pedestrians to cross. He offered a suggestion of possibly rotating the building. Building Official: Mr. Newell commented he encourages new business growth but this location for this proposed business does not work. The existing property is difficult to work with and for their proposed business there just needs to be a better location. The double looping of the drive-through is TRC - July 19, 2018 - Page 3 of 5 V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC continued. something that needs to be re-examined. His suggestion is to re-examine the entire site plan and bring it back as he cannot support the site plan as currently presented. Fire Department: Chief Smith explained he looks at life safety and accessibly for fire trucks and emergency vehicles. Normally engines do not go inside that close to buildings. With that being said, there is an area on the south side of the building by the drive-through that is under the minimum 20 feet required so that may need to be discussed should ambulances need to have access. The hydrant should be sufficient even though it is a little small. Fire flow should be fine although will require a flow test from OUA. Chairperson Montes De Oca commented as an Engineer he looks at traffic from what an expected level of traffic service is and what a true traffic problem is compared to what a perceived traffic concern is. He sat for several mornings at the traffic light at the intersection at State Road 70 and Southeast 8th Avenue in the Peak AM hour and gathered data. He found the minimum wait time was around 10 seconds and the maximum was 145 seconds. Typically only three to four cars were queued and when the light changed the que was always cleared. The majority of the time there were no cars and typically within two minutes it was empty. He further commented he agreed the Applicant needed to provide a sidewalk, he believed the setback with the dumpster area is minor, would like the Applicant to conserve as many of the larger trees on site as they could if possible, and has some concerns with the double looping as well but not from a pedestrian standpoint. Thinking people will probably try to go back against traffic, perhaps placing bollards will prevent that. Regarding off-site, should the Applicant choose to go with the force main due to septic tank and the proximity of Taylor Creek just remember to coordinate with Public Works Director Allen and obtain bond requirements for working in the Right -of -Way. Need copies of all FDOT permits. Mr. Chad Riddle and Mr. Adam Schildmeier with the Wantman Group, Inc. (WGI) were present on behalf of the Applicant. They commented on the double looping explaining they needed to do this as there was no access from State Road 70. They did increase the drive isle widths as requested by the Board of Adjustment. They would be open to the idea of installing bollards. There was a lengthy discussion about rotating the building although no idea seemed to fit everything needed. Regarding the utilities, they plan to extend the gravity sewer down the sidewalk to the kingman hole just to the south of the site and will be coordinating with OUA. Chairperson Montes De Oca asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. Mr. Dowling Watford, Mayor for the City of Okeechobee, spoke as a concerned citizen. He inquired about whether the traffic observation that Chairperson Montes De Oca conducted was done recently. Chairperson Montes De Oca replied it had. He further commented that during school time, traffic would be much heavier at this location and to please take that into consideration. He next inquired as to whether the distance of the entrance to the proposed location from State Road 70 was shorter than the distance of the entrance to the Family Dollar site (that is located on Southeast 10th Avenue) from State Road 70. Chairperson Montes De Oca responded it is shorter. He next voiced his concern with people turning right onto Southeast 8th Avenue from State Road 70 and people leaving the proposed Checkers site and trying to make a left hand turn onto Southeast 8th Avenue. There could be people blocking lanes and cars stacking up on Southeast 8th Avenue. This was a huge safety concern for him. Another issue he had was with lighting. He did not want lights taking over. He suggested some type of shielded lights for the business. In conclusion he commented he is not TRC - July 19, 2018 - Page 4 of 5 V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC continued. opposed to this business coming to Okeechobee, but like the Building Official, this was just not the right location. The City has had issues with other sites which we should learn from. Chairperson Montes De Oca then asked TRC Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone regarding the Application or visited the site. Chairperson Montes De Oca disclosed he had spoken to Mr. Schildmeier with WGI. There were no other disclosures. A motion and a second was offered by Building Official Newell and Fire Chief Smith to deny Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC, in regards to the construction of a proposed 1,412 -square foot fast food restaurant with drive-through service including 500 square feet of outdoor dining space with associated parking located at 100 Southeast 8th Avenue, Okeechobee, FL, Lots 1 through 3, TAYLOR CREEK MANOR, as recorded in Plat Book 3, Page 4 Public Records of Okeechobee County, with the option to re -submit under the current Application addressing the following conditions: 1. The interior circulation system is modified such that the hazard to pedestrian safety crossing the parking lot is significantly reduced. 2. Closing time is limited to not later than Midnight. 3. Limit deliveries by semis or other large trucks that must enter the site in a contra -flow direction and/or block ingress, egress, parking or interior circulation, to nonbusiness hours after 6 a.m. 4. A new solid fence is constructed along the southern property line with the proposed trees and shrubs (hedge) planted to the north within the five-foot landscape buffer as presently proposed. 5. The dumpster enclosure is moved eastward three feet to meet the required 10 -foot minimum setback, otherwise approval of a Variance would be necessary. 6. Solid waste collection is conducted only between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. 7. Provide sidewalk (to City standards) along the west side of Southeast Avenue from State Road 70 to the driveway at the south end of the property. 8. Provide a two -foot landscape strip between the restaurant structure and all vehicular use areas (Note: due to the nature of the drive-through service, this is likely impractical. If so, approval of a Variance is necessary). 9. Submit lighting plan for the entire site. 10. Should it be possible, try to preserve the larger existing trees on site. 11. Submit off-site water and wastewater plans Drior to construction. Motion carried unanimously. VI. ADJOURNMENT— Chairperson.

The existing property is difficult to work with and for their proposed business there just need's to be a better location. The double looping of the drive-through is TRC - July 19, 2018 - Page 3 of 5 V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. S A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC continued. something that needs to be re-examined. His suggestion is to re-examine the entire site plan and bring it back as he cannot support the site plan as currently presented. Fire Department: Chief Smith explained he looks at life safety and accessibly for fire trucks and emergency vehicles. Normally engines do not go inside that close to buildings. With that being said, there is an area on the south side of the building by the drive-through that is under the minimum 20 feet required so that may need to be discussed should ambulances need to have access. The hydrant should be sufficient even though it is a little small. Fire flow should be fine although will require a flow test from OUA. Chairperson Montes De Oca commented as an Engineer he looks at traffic from what an expected level of traffic service is and what a true traffic problem is compared to what - a perceived traffic concern is. He sat for several mornings at the traffic light at the intersection at State Road 70 and Southeast 8th Avenue in the Peak AM hour and gathered data. He found the minimum wait time was around 10 seconds and the maximum was 145 seconds. Typically only three to four cars were queued and when the light changed the que was always cleared. The majority of the time there were no cars and typically within two minutes it was empty. He further commented he agreed the Applicant needed to provide a sidewalk, he believed the setback with the dumpster area is minor, would like the Applicant to conserve as many of the larger trees on site as they could if possible, and has some concerns with the double looping as well but not from a pedestrian standpoint. Thinking people will probably try to go back against traffic, perhaps placing bollards will prevent that. Regarding off-site, should the Applicant choose to go with the force main due to septic tank and the proximity of Taylor Creek just remember to coordinate with Public Works Director Allen and obtain bond requirements for working in the Right -of -Way. Need copies of all FDOT permits. Mr. Chad Riddle and Mr. Adam Schildmeier with the Wantman Group, Inc. (WGI) were present on behalf of the Applicant. They commented on the double looping explaining they needed to do this as there was no access from State Road 70. They did increase the drive isle widths as requested by the Board of Adjustment. They would be open to the idea of installing bollards. There was a lengthy discussion about rotating the building although no idea seemed to fit everything needed. Regarding the utilities, they plan to extend the gravity sewer down the sidewalk to the kingman hole just to the south of the site and will be coordinating with OUA. Chairperson Montes De Oca asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. Mr. Dowling Watford, Mayor for the City of Okeechobee, spoke as a concerned citizen. He inquired about whether the traffic observation that Chairperson Montes De Oca conducted was done recently. Chairperson Montes De Oca replied it had. He further commented that during school time, traffic would be much heavier at this location and to please take that into consideration. He next inquired as to whether the distance of the entrance to the proposed location from State Road 70 was shorter than the distance of the entrance to the Family Dollar site (that is located on Southeast 10th Avenue) from State Road 70. Chairperson Montes De Oca responded it is shorter. He next voiced his concern with people turning right onto Southeast 8th Avenue from State Road 70 and people leaving the proposed Checkers site and trying to make a left hand turn onto Southeast 8th Avenue. There could be people blocking lanes and cars stacking up on Southeast 8th Avenue. This was a huge safety concern for him. Another issue he had was with lighting. He did not want lights taking over. He suggested some type of shielded lights for the business. In conclusion he commented he is not TRC - July 19,2018 - Page 4 of 5 41 _ V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC continued. opposed to this business coming to Okeechobee, but like the Building Official, this was just not the right location. The City has had issues with other sites which we should learn from. Chairperson Montes De Oca then asked TRC Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone regarding the Application or visited the site. Chairperson Montes De Oca disclosed he had spoken to Mr. Schildmeier with WGI. There were no other disclosures. A motion and a second was offered by Building Official Newell and Fire Chief Smith to deny Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -002 -TRC, in regards to the construction of a proposed 1,412 -square foot fast food restaurant with drive-through service including 500 square feet of outdoor dining space with associated parking located at 100 Southeast 8th Avenue, Okeechobee, FL, Lots 1 through 3; TAYLOR CREEK MANOR, as recorded in Plat Book 3, Page 4, Public Records of Okeechobee County, with the option to re -submit under the current Application addressing the following conditions: 1.

V. NEW BUSINESS —Chairperson. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18 -001 -TRC, in regards to the construction of a proposed 3,750 - square foot public works facility building with associated parking located at 306 Northwest 9th Avenue, Okeechobee, FL, all of Blocks 130 and 133, CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, as recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 10, Public Records of Okeechobee County - Senior Planner. Planning Staff Report: Planner Brisson explained the proposed site contains eight buildings totaling 28,035 -square feet for the Okeechobee County Public Works yard that provides for storage, repair, and office use. The proposed plans remove the 5,471 -square foot quonset but building and replace it with a new 3,750 -square foot building that will provide office space for Public Works, Engineering, and Road Maintenance staff. The building is designed to accommodate 35 people and will be the department's operation's center, with hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The applicant has provided more than the required parking including a space designated for the TRC - April 19, 2018 - Page 1 of 3 J a V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18-001 -TRC continued. Planninq Staff Report continued: handicapped. The site is provided potable water and sewer service by Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). The potential increase from the project is insignificant and will have no effect upon the available capacities that can be, provided by the OUA. The County has confirmed a considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal needs. The proposed construction should have no impact to existing drainage patterns off-site and should have no impact on off-site areas. Information from the 9? Edition of the Institute of Traffic Engineer's Trip Generation shows that a government office building is expected to generate 1.21 trips per 1,000 -square feet of office space in the PM peak hour. This translates to less than five additional trips during the PM peak hour for the proposed new building. Access to the proposed office building will be by way of a two-way, 30 -foot wide driveway cut on Northwest 2nd Avenue directly into/out of the parking lot directly in front of the building. The dimensional standards review appears to meet the requirements with the exception of providing a location for the collection of trash/garbage associated with the new proposed use. There were originally some issues with the landscape buffer areas as the Applicant mistakenly classified the western property line as an interior property line and therefore did not calculate the appropriate number of required trees and bushes correctly. The Applicant is providing only 11 trees and 33 shrubs when 14 trees and 42 shrubs are required. Prior to today's meeting, Mr. Dobbs emailed a new landscape plan to Mr. Brisson and the requirement was satisfied. In conclusion, Mr. Brisson is recommending approval of the site plan, as submitted, with the following stipulation: the Applicant explains how trash/garbage associated with the new office building will be handled. County Environmental Health Department: No issues were received. OUA: No issues were received. Public Works: No issues were received. Police Department: No issues were received. Building Official: No issues were received. Fire Department: Chief Smith inquired as to the use and type of storage. Mr. Steve Dobbs, Project Consultant for the Applicant, Okeechobee County, was in attendance. He replied this would be for offices and no storage -other than office equipment. Chief asked whether there would be security gates as this was needed due to liability so the public could not access. Mr. Dobbs said yes. Chief requested either a knoxbox with a lock in it or a knoxlock on both gates. Chairperson Montes De Oca asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. There were none. Chairperson Montes De Oca then asked TRC Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone regarding the Application or visited the site. Chairperson Montes De Oca disclosed TRC - April 19, 2018 - Page 2 of 3 a V. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Site Plan Review Application No. 18-001 -TRC continued. he had spoken to Mr. Dobbs, Mr. Donnie Oden, Director of Facilities Maintenance & Development Services for Okeechobee County, Mr. Pete DePasquale, Road Director for Okeechobee County, and all of the Board of County Commissioners.

SURROUNDING PROPERTIES The site is surrounded by varying uses with similar Zoning Districts and FLU designations, and thus, are found to be compatible with the proposed commercial use on the subject site. The following summarizes the nature of the surrounding properties adjacent to the subject site: NORTH: Immediately north of the subject site is State Road 70 right-of-way. Just north of State Road 70 is a residential mobile home park, known as River Run Resort. This area retains a FLU designation of Commercial and a Zoning District of Heavy Commercial within the City limits of Okeechobee. SOUTH: Immediately to the south of the subject site is a 1,524 SF single-family residential home located within a parcel total acreage of .534. This property retains a FLU designation of Single- Family Residential and a Zoning District of Residential Multiple Family within the City limits of Okeechobee. EAST: Immediately east to the subject site is SE 8th Ave right-of-way. Further east of SE 8th Ave is a commercial plaza, known as Northshore Plaza.

Further west is a 2,728 SF Fast food restaurant with drive through service, known as Burger King. This area retains a FLU designation of Commercial and a Zoning District of Heavy Commercial. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The current development proposal for the site is as follow: Checkers Restaurant A 912 SF Checkers fast food restaurant with a single drive-through service lane and 500 SF of outdoor dining area with 6 tables (totaling 1,412 SF) proposed at the Southwest corner of State Road 70 and SE 8th Ave. The single drive-through service lane is 10 feet wide and directs vehicles towards the point of service located at the northeast side of the building. The drive through lane situates along the southern and eastern portions of the building where the proposed 11 foot wide bypass lane runs parallel and allows vehicles to exit towards the eastern exit. The 8' x 14' bun freezer and menu board/speaker are located towards the south of the proposed restaurant. Outdoor Dining Area The Outdoor dining area is located towards the northwest portion of the site and provides 6 tables seating 4 individuals each, accommodating a total of 24 individuals. Access There is one (1) 32 foot wide point of access from SE 8th Ave. This access is located towards the southeastern portion of the site is derived from an existing curb cut that will be provide ingress and egress options. Parking Pursuant to Section 90-512 of the City of Okeechobee's Land Development Code, fast food restaurants require 1 space per every 75 square feet of gross floor per. The Checkers Restaurant location does not provide indoor facilities; therefore, the parking requirements are based off the 500 SF outdoor dining area. Justification Statement June 5, 2018 Checkers — City of Okeechobee Page 12 That calculation equals 6 required standard spaces, one of which is required to be ADA accessible (500/ 75=6). The proposed design provides a 12 standard parking spaces, of which 1 is ADA accessible. This provides sufficient parking for both the public and employees that visit the site, thus accommodating a total of 12 parking spaces and meeting regulation. Loading Loading and unloading will occur directly adjacent to the proposed fast food restaurant with drive-through service during off -business hours. In order to mitigate adverse impacts and nuisance of noises, loading and unloading will be is located away from the single-family residential home located to the south. Dumpster Location The proposed dumpster is located northwest of the site and will be only used by the proposed restaurant. Landscape Buffers The proposed development provides a 10' landscape buffer along right-of-ways of State Road 70 and SE 8th Ave and a 2' buffer around the perimeter of the property line. Signage There is one (1) pylon sign that is located towards the northeast portion of the site. Additionally, there are two (2) illuminated signs located towards the southeast portion of the site, which provide entry and exit guidance. JUSTIFICATION The proposed development of a fast food restaurant with a drive-through service lane, known as Checkers Restaurant, is compatible and consistent with the existing FLU designation of Commercial and Zoning District Heavy Commercial. The land uses immediately surrounding the site are consistent with the proposed use as they are commercial in nature, with similar or greater intensities. The proposed 1,412 SF Checkers Restaurant with a drive-through service (including 500 SF of outdoor dining) provides a 10' landscape buffer along right-of-ways of State Road 70 and SE 8th Ave and a 2' buffer around the perimeter of the property line, which will minimize adverse effects, including visual impact and the intensity of the proposed use towards the adjacent lands. The parking, point of service, and outdoor dining area have been logically located towards the northwestern and northeastern portions of the site in order to mitigate adverse impacts towards the residential uses to the south. It is the intent of the applicant to propose a design that is compatible with the existing commercial developments within the area, while maintaining the prototype appearance of the Checkers brand. Based on the above justification and attached information, the petitioner respectfully requests Site Plan approval.

A shopping center's composition is related to its market area in terms of size, location, and type of store. A shopping center also provides on-site parking facilities sufficient to serve its own parking demands. Factory outlet center (Land Use 823) is a related use. Additional Data Shopping centers, including neighborhood centers, community centers, regional centers, and super regional centers, were surveyed for this land use. Some of these centers contained non -merchandising facilities, such as office buildings, movie theaters, restaurants, post offices, banks, health clubs, and recreational facilities (for example, ice skating rinks or indoor miniature golf courses). Many shopping centers, In addition to the integrated unit of shops In one building or enclosed around a mall, Include outparcels (peripheral buildings or pads located on the perimeter of the center adjacent to the streets and major access points). These buildings are typically drive-in banks, retail stores, restaurants, or small offices. Although the data herein do not indicate which of the centers studied included peripheral buildings, it can be assumed that some of the data show their effect. The vehicle trips generated at a shopping center are based upon the total GLA of the center. In cases of smaller centers without an enclosed mall or peripheral buildings, the GIA could be the same as the gross floor area of the building. Time -of -day distribution data for this land use are presented in Appendix A. For the 10 general urban/ suburban sites with data, the overall highest vehicle volumes during the AM and PM on a weekday were counted between 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. and 12:15 and 1:15 p.m., respectively.

These facilities typically have very small building areas and may provide a limited amount of outside seating. These limited - service eating establishments usually do not provide table service. Fast casual restaurant (Land Use 930), high -turnover (sit-down) restaurant (Land Use 932), fast-food restaurant without drive-through window (Land Use 933), and fast-food restaurant with drive-through window (Land Use 934) are related uses. Additional Data Time -of -day distribution data for this land use are presented in Appendix A. For the five general urban/suburban sites with data, the overall highest vehicle volumes during the AM and PM on a weekday were counted between 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. and 12:00 and 1:00 p.m., respectively. The sites were surveyed in the 1990s, the 2000s, and the 2010s in California, Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, and Texas.

The subject property is a 27,980 square foot rectangular parcel located at the southwest corner of SR 70 and SE 8th Avenue. The two existing buildings on the property will be demolished and replaced by a 1,412 square foot Checkers fast food restaurant with drive-through service. The point of service window will be located at the northeast corner of the building. The building will encompass 912 square feet but offers no indoor seating. Rather, six outdoor dining tables, capable of seating 24 persons, will be located on 500 square feet of outdoor patio adjacent to the northwest corner of the building. A "bun freezer" and the menu board with speaker are located just south of the building. The site plan shows a 37 -foot wide curb cut on SE 8th Avenue providing for a 26 -foot wide entry drive and an 11 -foot wide exit lane. The restaurant is proposed to provide food service between 10 a.m. and 4 a.m. seven days -a -week, and the number of employees will vary from 3 to 7 per shift. Twelve new parking spaces, including one space designated for the handicapped will be provided to the west of the building; and the dumpster and trash enclosure will be located in the northwestern corner of the site. t_,Kz plannir�,g Staff Report Site Plan Review Applicant's Name: NYLV Investors LLC Petition No. 98 -002 -TRC Following is the Staff analysis of the project's consistency with the various City requirements and regulations.

NYLV Investors LLC Petition No. 98 -002 -TRC POTABLE WATER AND SANITARY SEWER: The Applicant stated that potable water is and will continue to be, provided by the Okeechobee Utility Authority and that Checkers will hook up to OUA for sewer service. The project will incrementally increase the existing demand. Applying the City's Level of Service standard for nonresidential use of 0.15 gallons of water per day per square foot (gpd/sf) indicates a demand of about 137 gallons of potable water and waste water treatment each per day. Other communities usually recognize a greater demand for fast food restaurants of about 0.6 gpd/sf for potable water and 0.4 gpd/sf for wastewater. Even at these higher rates, the proposed fast food restaurant would only generate daily demand for about 547 gpd of potable water and 365 gpd of wastewater treatment. This potential increase is relatively small and will have no effect upon the available capacities of OUA's potable and wastewater treatment facilities. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL: On several occasions the County has confirmed a considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal needs of other developments in the City. It's reasonable that the volume of solid waste generated by this relatively small fast food establishment can also be accommodated within the capacity of the County's Solid Waste Facility. DRAINAGE: The Engineer's Report accompanying the Application addresses drainage, water quality and water quantity. TRAFFIC GENERATION, ACCESS, EGRESS, AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION: TRAFFIC GENERATION: Dr. Juan Ortega, the Applicant's traffic engineer, has concluded that no Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) is necessary and we agree. The DOT's denial of access to SR 70 means access is available only from SE 8th Avenue. Dr. Ortega has completed his traffic analysis and determined that full access via SE 8th Avenue to the proposed Checkers is appropriate. The City has similarly enlisted Susan O'Rourke, a professional traffic engineer, to review and comment. She finds that the location of the driveway (about 175 feet south of the centerline of SR 70) meets the City's 140 -foot minimum required by §78-3 of the City's Code. The information provided by Dr. Ortega indicates that there could be times when the northbound travel extends beyond the driveway. However, Ms. O'Rourke notes that the site shows 85 feet of on-site storage for waiting vehicles, and that this should be more than adequate. She has, therefore, confirmed the proposed full access driveway on SE 8th Avenue can be accommodated. LaR„c 3 pi:anning Staff Report Site Plan Review CUSTOMER ACCESS AND EGRESS: Applicant's Name: NYLV Investors LLC Petition No. 18 -002 -TRC Access to the proposed fast food restaurant will be gained via a 37 -foot wide curb cut on SE 8th Avenue providing for a 26 -foot wide entry drive and an 11 -foot wide exit lane. The configuration of this driveway has been changed based on comments made during the Special Exception resulting in the loading zone being moved, a five-foot buffer being installed along the southern property line, and the dumpster being relocated to the northwest corner of the vehicular use area. -This has widened the i i -turn into the site improving customer vehicular access. INTERIOR CIRCULATION: Interior circulation for customers is torturous. In order to receive service, drive-through customers must complete a full circle through the parking lot to arrive at the drive- through service window; then go around the building again, passing through the parking lot once more and access the by-pass lane to exit the site. While this is cumbersome for drive-through customers, I believe it also increases the hazards to those who park in the lot and use the outdoor dining areas. Eight of the 12 required parking spaces are located on the west side of the parking lot. These customers will need to cross the parking lot at least twice in a situation where the vehicular traffic in the drive aisle through the parking lot will be at least twice that which is normally associated with a fast food restaurant with a drive-through activity. In most fast food restaurants with drive-through service, there are separate entry and exit points that, at most, require drive-through customers to pass through the parking area only once. SERVICE VEHICLE ACCESS AND EGRESS: A. Loading Zone The Applicant has moved the loading zone from its original proposed location adjacent to the south property line, such that it no longer requires backing out onto SE 8th Avenue to exit the site. This relocation allows for a five-foot landscaped buffer along the south property line to reduce the nuisance impacts of the site's operation on the residential neighbor immediately south of the Checkers site. In accord with one of the stipulations of the Board of Adjustments Special Exception approval, the relocation of the loading area and dumpster have eliminated the need for these service vehicles from backing out onto SE 8th Avenue to exit the site. However, the new location requires the use of the eastbound exit lines of the site to access the "loading zone" in a contra -flow direction; and, requires the use of the entry lanes, again in a contra -flow direction, to exit the property. This necessitates that all deliveries be made only during hours the business is not operating. Based on the proposed operating hours, this would mean only after 4 a.m. to just before 10 a.m. It is questionable if Checkers can guarantee that all deliveries will occur only during nonbusiness hours. The LDRs set forth specific requirements relating to the size and layout of loading spaces. These will be discussed in the table on page 9. LA -o. 4 planning Staff Report Site Plan Review B. Dumpster location Applicant's Name: NYLV Investors LLC Petition No. 18 -002 -TRC In accord with one of the stipulations of the Board of Adjustments Special Exception approval, the dumpster has been moved from the prior proposed location near the south property line to the northwest corner of the vehicular use area which also eiiminates the garbage truck backing out onto SE 8th Avenue to exit the site. However, the new location requires that the garbage truck enter the properly from the south traveling northbound on SE 8th Avenue, using the entry lane which merges with the drive-thru service lane; pull up to the dumpster and transfer its contents; back up and pull into the southbound parking drive aisle; crossing the demarcation between the drive-thru service lane and the by-pass exit lane and exiting the property via the by-pass lane to SE 8th Avenue. Because drive- thrOugh customers must follow the "double -looping" route to access and leave the drive-through service window, resulting in two passes through the parking lot, vehicular congestion and conflicts are likely to occur between drive- through and outdoor dining customers, which would only be exacerbated by the addition of garbage pick-up service during business hours. As is the case with delivery vehicles, 11re believe this will require that all garbage pick-ups occur only during hours the business is not operating. Based on the proposed operating hours, this would mean only after 4 a.m. to just before 10 a.m. I have spoken with Mr. John Boak, Route Manager for Waste Management in Okeechobee. During our discussion, he stated that Waste Management can commit to serving the Checkers site during off -business hours, most likely between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., as service is provided to the Northshore Plaza on Tuesdays and Thursdays about this time. He also noted that the preferred access route would be northbound along SE 8th Avenue as shown in the Applicant's sketch. COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJACENT USES: In order to be compatible with the adjacent use, the site plan should ensure that noise, odors, or glare from lights do not adversely affect the adjacent residents. This is particularly important when a business is open late into the nighttime or early morning hours. Nighttime use of loudspeakers for taking orders is particularly inappropriate close to residential uses. ThE! menu board and loudspeaker for order taking is just about 35 feet from the residential neighbor to the south. This nuisance factor is magnified by the proposal to operate the drive-through until 4 a.m. LaK5 pt.anni.ng Staff Report Applicant's Name. NYLV Investors LLC Site Plan Review Petition No. 18 -002 -TRC Following are the operating hours and distance of the menu board/loudspeaker from the nearest adjacent residential property for each of the other drive-in fast-food restaurants along SR 70 in the City of Okeechobee: RESTAURANT NAME CLOSING TIME DISTANCE TO DISTANCE TO PROPERTY HOUSE McDonald's Open 24/7 120 Feet 180 Feet Taco Bell Sun - Thur: 12 a.m. 165 Feet 180 Feet Fri/Sat: 1 a.m. Burger King 7 days: 12 a.m. NA: All surrounding properties are vacant and zoned CHV, Heavy Wendy's 7 days: 1 a.m. 135 Feet No residence Popeyes 7 days: 10 P.M.

Zaxby's Sun—Fri: 9:30 p.m. 107 feet135 feet Sat -10 p.m. As can be seen, only three nearby fast food restaurants with drive-through service are open later than midnight. These are McDonalds (open 24 -hours), Wendy's (open until 1 am) and Taco Bell open till 1. a.m. only on Fridays and Saturday. None of these restaurants have a menu board and loudspeaker anywhere near as close to a residential use as the 35-40 feet proposed in this application. In fact, all three restaurants have located their menu boards at least three times as far from the adjacent property as is proposed for the Checkers. In accord with one of the stipulations of the Board of Adjustment's Special Exception approval, the Applicant has provided a barrier in the form of a five-foot deep landscape strip in place of the minimum required landscape strip along the south property line, allowing for the planting of five live oaks and what could, if properly maintained, eventually grow to be a six foot Spanish Stopper hedge. Unless it can be assured that such a hedge will block glare from customer vehicle headlights, I would suggest that a solid six-foot high fence also be constructed along the south property line, which would assist in reducing glare and noise from the site.

Review Planning Staff Report - recommending denial. 3. Hear from the Property Owner or designee/agent — Ms. Lindsay Libes, Agent for NYLV Investors, LLC, on behalf of Property Owner, Carl L. Windham, Jr. Planner Brisson reviewed the Planning Staff Report explaining the matter for consideration is a Special Exception for a Checkers fast food restaurant with drive-through service on the 27,982 square -foot property located at the Southwest comer of State Road 70 (Northeast Park Street) and Southeast 81^ Avenue addressed as 100 Southeast 8th Avenue. The Petition was originally presented before this Board at the March 15th meeting but was continued until now as the Applicant was pending the outcome from a Variance Hearing with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) regarding access on State Road 70 (Northeast Park Street). The two buildings currently on the property (one in which was used as a retail use and the other a tax preparation office) are slated for demolition. They will be replaced by a 912 square -foot restaurant with drive-uplthru food and beverage service with 500 square -feet of outdoor dining space which will provide six outdoor dining tables seating a total of 24 persons. Twelve parking spaces, of which one is designated for the handicapped, are available to accommodate the anticipated 3 to 7 employees during the various shifts and walk up customers or those who choose to eat in the outdoor dining area. Hours of operation are proposed to be from 10:00 am to 4:00 am seven days a week. Planner Brisson recommends denial based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report, which include the Petition requesting the Special Exception being inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, being not appropriate for the location and being not compatible with adjacent uses. Mr. Riddle was present and available for questions from the Board. Member Baughman asked him to address the deficiencies listed in the Planning Staff Report. Mr. Riddle went on to explain his client will provide more landscaping and increase the buffering to the South to shield the neighboring property from the'dumpster and loading zone; full access to the site can be accommodated by a full access driveway on Southeast 8th Avenue; and he is of the opinion that the garbage truck would be able to maneuver around on the site even during business hours. Regarding the loading zone, the trucks usually come outside of business hours and he believes the truck could back up within MAY 17.2018 -BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT -PAGE 3 OF 6 AGENDA ACTION.

Public comments or questions from those in attendance, or submitted to the Board Secretary. the site and leave, it not, then it would back up onto Southeast 81h Avenue. More research may need to be done. Member Baughman further inquired as to whether they would be willing to change their plans and utilized more of the property to the West near Taylor Creek, or if there was a reason this space was not being used. Mr. Riddle responded they would have no problem with this and could relocate the dumpster and loading zone. They would be happy to go back over the plans and rework the site. During this discussion, the idea of maybe a trash compactor instead of a dumpster was brought up. Mr. Freites explained they do not use compactors due to worker's compensation and liability issues; a lot of the companies do not want to pick up the waste; there is a lot more noise associated with this and also the truck would need to visit the site twice, once for pickup and then to return the container. Member Baughman next asked if they would be willing to use some sort of slat type of fencing along the South boundary of the property to help buffer the headlights. Again, Mr. Riddle said his client would have no issues with this. Discussion then turned to the circulation of the actual drive-through as Member McCoy had concerns with the stacking and how the actual circulation would work. If someone was occupying the parking spaces, how would they be able to back out if there were stacking. A solution was to increase the width of the drive isle lane from 16 to 20 feet. In addition there was some discussion regarding the speakers and whether they could be adjusted during the evening hours or whether the operating hours could be changed. Mr. Freites responded that 30 to 35 percent of sales occur after 10:00 pm with alot of volume on and off. So this will hurt the business to reduce the hours. He commented he operates fifteen other Checkers Restaurants and has had no issues with noise complaints with the speakers. Chairperson Hoover commented even though this is a Heavy Commercial area, it is a heavily traveled residential area. Member Brass commented she did not want the property to sit idle, although she does not want the resident to have bad quality of life because of a commercial business and the activities associated with it like the garbage pickup and the potential traffic backup. If a motion can specify conditions than she would not have an issue moving forward, but if the general consensus was to just make a motion then she could not say she would be in favor. Chairperson Hoover asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. Mr. Dobbs was present as a private citizen to comment he had visited the site and met with Mr. Rob Wilson, realtor of the property and the City Administrator, Mr. Marcos Montes De Oca regarding this project. He believed there was room to shift the building if need be or relocate the loading zone or dumpster to the West. He did a study on the noise and from his research concluded that the State Road 70 (Northeast Park Street) area is already noisy so he didn't believe the private residence to the South would be affected any more. In the past, businesses had been in there that had back right onto Southeast 8m Avenue, so at least this business would be a little safer. Secretary Burnette noted for the record the Petition was advertised in the local newspaper, two signs were posted on the subject property, and courtesy notices were mailed to 8 surrounding property owners. In addition, Secretary Burnette read into the record a letter that was received from Jim and Pat Tenniswood as follows: To Okeechobee City Council, -I live on SE 8th Avenue and we already have a traffic problem at the traffic light on 8th Ave. where you tum onto 70 East We wait for the light to change and sometimes have eight or more cars waiting for the light. l was told by a neighbor that a 'Checkers' restaurant was wanting to open a drive-thru restaurant on this comer.

Chairperson Hoover asked Board Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone prior to this meeting regarding the petition. There were none. Planning Staffs recommendation for denial is based on two sets of criteria. One being the site's inconsistencies with the current Land Development Regulations (LDR's), and the other, findings required to consider a Special Exception. Planning Staffs responses to the applicant's presentation on consistency with the LDR's are, the site is zoned CHV and drive-through service is allowed as a special exception, however, there are no fast-food restaurants adjacent to the subject property. All of the nearby ones are located between 400 and 600 feet to the East or West of the subject site. All are located on the South side of State Road 70 (Northeast Park Street) and have access to/from State Road 70 (Northeast Park Street). None are located on a comer lot either or receive access from a local street. Since the proposed facility is only one-story in height and of limited size, no specific design efforts is needed in this regards. Although the standard of how the site is being designed to be compatible with the adjacent uses and neighborhood is also intended to ensure that noise, odors, or glare from lights do not adversely affect these properties this is particularly important when a business is open late into the nighttime or early morning hours. The menu board and loudspeaker for order taking is just about 40 feet from the residence to the South. This nuisance factor is magnified by the proposal to operate the drive-through until 4 am. Only two other fast-food drive through restaurants in the vicinity are open later than midnight but neither has a menu board and loudspeaker anywhere near as close to residential use as the 40 feet proposed by the Applicant. The exit lane is located on the South side of the property and the loading zone and dumpster are separated from the South property line just by the minimum required two -foot landscape strip. Both of these pose potential nuisances in the form of noise and odors to the adjacent residential property. This minimum landscaping will do very little to minimize the noise and glare from lights of southbound vehicles exiting the parking lot or entering the drive-through service area. It is expected that utilities are available and the adequacy and specifics will be addressed during the site plan review stage. It has been concluded by the Applicant's traffic engineer that no Traffic Impact Statement is necessary. FDOT"s denial of access to State Road 70 (Northeast Park Street) means access is available only from Southeast 8th Avenue. Dr. Juan Ortega, the Applicant's Traffic Engineer, has determined that full access via Southeast 8th Avenue to the proposed restaurant is appropriate. The City enlisted Ms. Susan O'Rourke, a Professional Traffic Engineer, to also review the application. She concluded the location of the driveway, about 175 feet South of the centerline of State Road 70 (Northeast Park Street) meets the City's 140 -foot minimum requirement. She notes the site shows 85 feet of on-site storage for waiting vehicles, and that this should be more than adequate so that northbound travel does not extend beyond the driveway as indicated by Dr. Ortega.

Situations could therefore happen in which the City would have little control over. b) Board discussion. Planning Staffs responses to the Applicant's presentation on the required findings are, the property is designated Commercial on the Future Land Use Map and a restaurant with drive-through service is included under the list of Special Exception Uses in the CHV Zoning District. However, the proposed use at this location operating as described in the Application is inconsistent with Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Plan in that it does not represent a well-planned mix of compatible uses and it will diminish the quality of the living environment of the adjoining residential property. The proposed use will have an adverse effect on the public interest due to the concerns to the proposed impact on Southeast 8m Avenue due to the larger vehicles entering the site during public business hours and needing to go against the normal traffic flow. The use is not appropriate for the proposed location, is not compatible with adjacent uses, and is detrimental to urbanizing land use because of the late night hours, the proximity of the menu board/loudspeaker, the dumpster and loading zone to the adjoining residence to the South and the potential noise and odor impacts, even with the minimum required landscape and buffer. The use will adversely affect property values or living conditions, and be a deterrent to the development of adjacent property for these same reasons. Even though the Applicant has provided the minimum two -foot landscape buffer, it does not seem that the proposed use would be adequately screened to sufficiently reduce the expected nuisance factors from the adjacent residential use. The proposed use is commercial and density is not a consideration. The proposed use may be expected to create traffic congestion because as previously noted, the Southbound entry requires vehicles to make a "u -tum into the site and that there is only 44 feet available for entering vehicles to negotiate the u -turn. Concluding that vehicles larger than 23 feet in length would need to go in contra -flow to access the site. The Traffic Engineer suggested signage stating no entry to trucks during public business hours. Situations could therefore happen in which the City would have little control over. Flooding and drainage problems are not expected but these types of issues would be addressed during site plan review. A motion and a second was offered by Members Baughman and McCreary to approve Special Exception Petition No. 18 -001 -SE, to allow drive-through service within a CHV Zoning District, Ref. Sec. 90-283(1)) for Lots 1 through 3, TAYLOR CREEK MANOR, Plat Book 3, Page 4, Public Records of Okeechobee County, containing approximately 0.608± acres and located at 100 Southeast 8th Avenue with the following special conditions: Move the dumpster away from the residential area as practical as possible to the North; a specific barrier running East to West along the South property line is needed to reduce noise and light, to design the parking and driveway area so as to no backing out onto Southeast 80, Avenue; the width of the drive isle lane between parking spaces needs to increase from 16 to 20 feet.

Attached is a copy of the Site Plan Review Application Checklist and also a copy of the Determination of Completeness Memo from the Planner, Bill Brisson, that I emailed to Chad Riddle and Lindsay Libes at WGI late yesterday afternoon. This was the message I wrote: We will need items 3.5, 3.6 and 4.8 by June 22nd. Item 3.12 should be provided by July 6th at the latest. (11 copies of the new information). Items 3.5 and 3.6 are on the Site Plan and 4.8 is located on the drainage calculations report. The Planner needs the front page redone in square feet instead of acres and he needs the pervious and imperious information for the property as it exists prior to the proposed development. Please email everything to both myself and the Planner, Bill Brisson, by the dates above. In addition, hardcopies need to be sent to both of us. The Technical Review Committee Meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, July 19, 2018 at 10:00 am. It was my pleasure speaking with you and please call me should you have any questions or if there is anything further I can assist you with.
