First Baptist Church ofOkeechobee, property owners, are applying for a Special Exception to allow
a house of worship on a lot less than five acres. The main church building is located one block
South of this property. Several other church buildings and the recreational center is also located
around this area. The church is requesting a Special Exception to allow a mission house and
storage facility. The current building is small and they have outgrown it, so they are looking at this
site to build the new proposed 7,000 square foot building.
Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant, addressed the Board by reviewing the Staff Report. The
Special Exception use is consistent with the church facility, Mr. LaRue is recommending approval

Board Member Ledferd stated for the record that he spoke with the owner of Norm

Carolyn Arnold, representative of Lakeview Builders, addressed the Board by reviewing the
applicants plan. The church is proposing to construct a 7,000 square foot storage building and
mission house. Pastor Randy Huckabee explained that the church does have an existing mission
house, however the church has outgrown the current facility. The new building will be for storage
of props and large items for different functions that the church puts on throughout the year, as well
as a mission facility to distribute uncooked food, clothing, household items to the community.
City Administrator questioned if the new facility would create any traffic problems, or an increased
amount of pedestrians crossing the street, causing traffic hazards. Pastor Huckabee stated that there
were no anticipated traffic problems or pedestrian issues
Surrounding property owner Leland Dyals stated that he had no problems with the application.

Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant, addressed the Board by explaining that the original request
was to reduce both the rear and South side setbacks to zero. Pastor Randy Huckabee explained to
Mr. LaRue before the meeting that they wanted to change the request from zero setbacks on both
the rear and South side setbacks, to thirteen feet fÌom the building to the property line (rear), and
to three feet from the building to the alley (South side). Mr. LaRue also explained that the
applicants need to prove that there is a hardship, before granting a variance.

Pastor Randy Huckabee explained to the Board that the long range plan for the church is definitely
to increase the size of the mission house. He also explained the plan of the surrounding blocks.
He stated that there was a hardship in this case, and it was if the church reduces the size of the
building to meet the required setbacks, it would not be worth developing. He also mentioned that
he was working on a use of alley agreement with Clerk Gamiotea.

Leland Dyals, stated for the record, that he does not want the status of the alley to be changed.

Robert D. Braun and Betty Suzanne Braun
Declaration of Trust Dated September 17, 1999
Statement of Special Reasons and Basis for Request
The property is currently zoned Residential Multiple
Family (RMF) and lies within the Commercial Corridor
future land use classification of the adopted Comprehensive
Future Land Use Map.
A funeral home currently operates on the property and has
for many years. When the property was originally
established funeral homes were uses that could be
permitted in Residential Multiple Family (RMF) zoning
districts with a special exception. The previous owner
secured the appropriate zoning and required special
exception.
With the adoption of the Unified Land Development Code
in 1998, the subject property became non-conforming with
regard to zoning. Under the current regulations, funeral
homes are a permitted use in Heavy Commercial (CHV)
zoning districts only. The applicants are currently in the
process of securing the appropriate zoning classification for
the existing use to increase the marketability of the
property. In addition, the applicants wish to obtain a
special exception to allow a crematorium in association
with the funeral home within a Heavy Commercial (CI-IV)
zoning district
Robert D. and Betty Suzanne Braun respectfully request
that the Land Planning Agency approve the request for a
special exception to a crematorium in association with a
funeral home in a Heavy Commercial (CHV) zoning
district.
Robert D. Braun and Betty Suzanne Braun
Declaration of Trust Dated September 17, 1999
Statement of Intended Use
The applicants do not intend to change the existing use of
the propexty. The sole purpose of the requested change in
zoning is to secure a zoning district that will be compatible
with the existing use and consistem with the current
regulations. In addition, the applicants would like to obtain
a special exception to allow a crematorium in association
with a funeral home.
Robert D. Braun and Betty Suzanne Braun
Declaration of Trust Dated September 17, 1999
Statement Addressing Existing Use of Surrounding Properties
The property under consideration is a 1.03 acre site, with
primary t~ontage on the north side of N. E. Second Street.
It covers one half of a city block. The prope_rt~r is also
bounded by N.E. 3~d Avenue to the east, N.E. 2~ Avenue
to the west. The property is rectangular in configuration
and is currently zoned Residential Multiple Family (RMF).
The property's north boundary line abuts a 15' alley. Just
beyond the alley are the dental offices of Dm. Tenni.qwood
and Dr. Davis. To the east of the subject property is David
Hester Insurance Agency. To the west is a variety of
professional offices. Directly south on N.E. Second Street
is a commercial strip center including a florist shop, bridal
shop and restaurant. Also south of the subject property are
two (2) single-family residences.
There should be no adverse impacts to the subject property,
to surrounding property or to the general area by granting
the requested change in zoning or the requested special
exception.

Land Use Designation Multi-Family

Acc~s SW 4u' Avenue
Location: 401 SW 4~h Street
Legal Description: Lots 5 & 6, Block 182, City of Okeechobee, according to
the plat thereof recorded in Plat Book 5, Page 5 of the
Public Records of Okeechobee County, Florida.
The appliciaat is requesting a variance from rear and side setbacks of the City of Okeechobee
Land Development Code to allow for a Mission House and storage facility in the Residential
Multiple F~ily Zoning District.
The subject property is approximately 0.33 acres fronting on SW 4th Avenue. The applicant
intends to ~ace a fabricated building on the site. The subject location has public utilities and the
adjoining p~Operty users are as follows:
North: Multi-Family
East: Commercial
South: Residential
West: Commercial
outlined be~w for granting the variance:
A. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land or
structure involved, and are not applicable to other land or structures in the same
zoning district.
No, the applicant has not presented circumstances and special conditions that are
so peculiar to the land that would justify such an extreme setback variance.
{PAGE }
Staff Report Applicant: First Baptist ,~fiurch of Oksechobee, Inc.
Variance R~luest Petition No. 03-006-V
B. The special conditions and circumstances do not result from actions of the
applicant.
The applicant has purchased the vacant land and controls the size of the building.
Therefore, the variance request seems to result from the actions of the owner.
C. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the Land Development Code wouM
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same
zoning districts under the terms of the Land Development Code, and would work
unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
No, sticking to the Land Development Regulations requirements would not
deprive the applicant of fights enjoyed by others.
D. The variance, if granted, is the minimum variance necessary to make possible the
reasonable use of the land or structure.
It doesn't seem to be the minimum variance.
E. Granting the variance request will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege(s) that is (are) denied by the Land Development Code to other land or
structures in the same zoning district.
Yes, if approved it would confer special privileges to the applicant.
F. Granting the variance will be compatible with the intent and purpose of the Land
Development Code, and the variance will not be injurious to the neighborhood or
detrimental to the public welfare.
No, it would not be consistent with the intent and purpose of the Land
Development Code.
Staff reco~ends denial of the request to allow a variance from side and rear setbacks
permitting ll~e applicant to build a structure with zero setbacks.
