Legal Description: Lots 5, 6, 7, and 8, Block 5, of Wright's First Addition to
Okeechobee, according to the plat thereof recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 13, public
records of Okeechobee County, Florida and all that portion of the abandoned

in Plat Book 1, Page 13, Public Records of Okeechobee County, Florida.

0.69 acres. This would allow approximately six units in the Residential Multi-Family
Zoning District as the Residential Multi-Family District allows 10 dwelling units to
an acre. The ~roperty is in the middle of Block 5 with street access for lots 5 and 8

Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 03-009-SSA
Existing Land Use: Single Family
This area is within several blocks of city Multi-Family Zoning although the Future
Land Use map designation for this several block area remains Single Family. Block 5
should probably be changed to Multi-Family Residential as this area is already
showing Multi-Family Residential characteristics.
A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies.
In examining the Multi-Family Residential Future Land Use category the subject
property would seem to be more consistent with these related Comprehensive Plan
policies.
B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities
The Utility Authority has sewer and water service availability for this site.
C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses
The neighborhood is showing enough transition to allow Multi-Family development.
D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan.
There is evidence reflecting that this area is a transitional Multi-Family
neighborhood. All site development mechanisms can be utilized to assure
compatibility with existing single family residence.
The request to change the Future Land Use designation for the subject property from
Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential should be approved consistent
with the data and analysis above.

Okeechobee, Fl.
Dear Katrim,
My name is Michael G. Brown of 208 N.E. 2~d Avenue, Okeechobee. (Lot 2, Block 153,
Oke¢¢hobe~, acc~ording to plat thereof recorded in Plat Book .% page 5, Public Records of
Okeechobee County, Florida).
I will not be able to attend th{: first Public Hearing tonight, so, as per our ¢onversatio~ I
am writing my concern in regard to the application proposing to change the current
zoning classification from Residential Multiple Family to Heavy Commercial for Lots
?,11,9.10,11, and I2 of Block 142, Okeechobee, aocordin~ to the plat thereof recorded in
Plat Book 5, page $, public records of Okeechobee County, Florida, for the Board to
consider.
As a property owner within three hundred feet of the described property, I would like to
see the HCV Zoning limited to Funeral Home use.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Michel O. Brown

October 24, 2003
Dear Mr. Veach,
I am in receipt of your letter that informs of the potential for a rezoning of Lots
7,8,9,10,11 and Block 12 142 to (C H V). My concern is that CHV includes numerous
uses that would not be consistent with the proposed area..
My request would be to changing the area in question to RFM with variances or special
exceptions do disallow businesses that would not be appropriate to this professional area.
Case in point, I would like for this area to remain with a professional atmosphere.
However, I have no objection to the fimeral home requesting a crematory. Please call me
with any questions and further input on this matter.
