while the Board was sitting as the Board of Adiustment.
The Board reappointed Dawn Hoover as Vice-Chairperson, term beginning May 23,2006 and ending
May 27,2008. No official action was taken specifically at this meeting. The official action was
taken while the Board was sittinl! as the Board of Adjustment.
A memorandum from City Clerk Gamiotea was distributed in the agenda packets which explained
changes to the Board Meetings: The first thing we wanted to do was consolidate the Land Planning
Agency and the Planning Board agendas. Both are recommendation boards that field the LDR
amendments, land use changes, comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings. The LDR' s specifically
address the fact that the Planning Board is the City's Local Planning Agency, which is all that is
necessary to meeting Florida Statute requirements in setting up the citizen board to review
comprehensive plan amendments. The second thing was we wanted to consolidate the Planning Board
and Board of Adjustment and Appeals agenda's. I have researched this process and it seems to be
common practice among City's and County's to have the consolidated agenda. Therefore, you will only
have one agenda and one set of minutes. The title will be the "Planning Board/Board of Adjustment and
Appeals." We hope these changes will streamline the process and make it more user-friendly. Even
though the agenda's are consolidated, which will enable you to address several petitions for the same
property, we will always need to ensure that small scale map amendments are processed and action
taken prior to the rezoning petition.

Memorandum continued: You will also be able to discuss rezoning petitions and special exceptions on
the same property. However, this will not change thefact that when you take action as listed under the
duties of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals, you are sitting as a "quasi-judicial" board. The change
will take place beginning with your new meeting date in June." There was no discussion on this matter.
Mr. LaRue briefly reviewed Section 90-222. Permitted Uses which reads, subject to the limitations that
no retail sales, or display or storage of merchandise, and no manufacture or mechanical repair work shall
be permitted, and no trucks larger than three-quarter ton capacity shall be used, the following principal
uses and structures are permitted in the CPO district: (1) Professional office, business office, medical
office. (2) Funeral home. This matter was brought to light at the March 28, 2006 meeting when an
applicant specifically could not request a CPO zoning due to his personal truck being "one-ton."
In the absence of Attorney Cook at the April 25, 2006 meeting, the Agency instructed Mr. LaRue to
consult with City Attorney Cook to amend the language pertaining to the trucks of Section 90-222 and
bring back to the Agency for consideration. While Mr. LaRue nor Attorney Cook offered amendments
in writing, they offered various suggested changes from deleting any reference to truck sizes to giving
a specific larger truck size.
Following a brief discussion, Agency Member Maxwell moved to find the amendment consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan and to consider amendinl! Section 90. Division 6. Commercial
Professional and Office (CPO) District regarding Section 90-222 permitted uses to broaden the
truck weil!ht limitation. authorizing the City Council and Staff to broaden. clarify or eliminate the

Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No.
06-012-SSA. Consider a recommendation to the City Council to change the
land use designation for an unplatted parcel of land shown as the Railroad
Grounds, lying within the Plat of the City of Okeechobee, from Single
Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF). The subject property is located
between Southwest 2nd and 6th Streets. The application was submitted by
Jeff Sumner and/or Ken Treadwell on behalf of property owner Frank
Altobello, Trustee - City Planning Consultant.
Mr. LaRue briefly reviewed the Staff Report as follows:
Planning Staff Report Summary: The applicant is requesting the Multi-Family Future Land Use
Future Land ,Use category to develop 9.89 acres of land as a multi-family development. The Multi-
Family category would allow apartments, duplexes, and condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units
per acre. This could allow up to 99 units on the subject property. The only access for this property
seems to be on 2nd Street. This location and narrow access outlet is not a desirable opportunity to
convert this property to Multi-Family.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) As proposed, the applicant's request is
not consistent with the Multi-Family Land Use category as intended in the Future Land Use Element of
the City's Comprehensive Plan. This is a location with inadequate traffic flow capability. The traffic
impacts and potential incompatibility to other Single Family uses have not been appropriately
recognized. (B) Water is available to the subject property but sewer availability has not been confirmed.
hnpacts to traffic and schools have not been assessed. (C) The proposed change in Future Land Use
may accelerate too much residential growth in a location not suitable for such impacts, especially from
a traffic standpoint. (D) The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are

Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (D) continued: intended, do not support a
change to Multi-Family residential use at this time. Nearby vacant Multi-Family lands should be
absorbed prior to further expansion of apartments at this location.
Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: This application and its appearance before the
Council and the LP A was duly noticed for the public in accordance with the notice requirements set forth
in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. Staff does not recommend approval to amend the Future Land
Use Map from Single-Family to Multi-Family based on the above comments and the application's
inconsistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. LaRue explained that the Department of Community of Affairs (DCA) limits one owner per under
10 acre parcel considered for Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Small Scale Map Amendments, and
this property is contiguous with another property which had already been approved for the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Small Scale Amendment by the same owner. Attorney Cook
clarified that the limitations by DCA are to prevent large land owners from piecing the property into
under 10 acre parcels to have the Small Scale Map Amendments approved. Mr. LaRue suggested that
this property be considered as a Large Scale Amendment.
Mr. Haynes Williams represented Mr. Altobello, and requested this item be tabled so the applicant can
confer with Mr. LaRue in regards to considering a Planned Unit Development (PUD). There was no
further discu~sion.
Agency Member Burroughs moved to table Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment

Mr. LaRue briefly reviewed the Staff Report as follows:
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use
Categories and Plan Policies. The Comprehensive Plan describes the Commercial Future Land Use
category in the Future Land Use Element. It states: Policy 2.1(c): Commercial. Permitted uses include
office, retail, automotive, wholesale, and related Commercial activities. Also permitted are public
facilities. Commercial development shall not exceed a floor area ratio of 3.00 and the maximum
impervious surface for development within this category shall not exceed 85 percent of the site. Under
the proposed Commercial Future Land Use category, the applicant would be allowed to develop the

Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) continued: subject property with the
Retail/Commercial uses. However, there is more data necessary to be shown illustrating that this
presently designated residential area should become an intensive retail high impact location. (B)
Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Before this request can be approved, the City must
consider the proposed impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable
water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority
(ODA) who provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the subject property has not
been provided by the applicant, this data is required. The existing capacity of the water supply plant is
6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The
applicant would need to submit a letter to the City which discusses the anticipated flow for the
development and that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development. There should
also be a deduction of water use for already approved developments because the cumulative impact has
not been contemplated should all approved developments be built. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted
LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/ capita/day. The subject property is within the service area
of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property would be cannot be
determined at this time. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with
between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a minimum of
300,000 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. This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008.
The applicant would need to verify that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed
development. Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 lbs/capita/day and 3 years
available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The impacts of the proposed development will be
minimal as the uses will be Commercial in nature. 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. There should be at least conceptual understanding of how stormwater discharge will be handled
for what is obviously going to be the creation of impervious areas. Recreation and Open Space: The
adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The proposed development is
Commercial in nature and is not expected to impact parks. 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 subject property is serviced
by SR 70. The applicant has not provided a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed
Development would impact the surrounding roadway network. Objective 9 and its corresponding

Application No. 06-CI-001 continued.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (B) continued: policies (Traffic Circulation
Element) states Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future level of
service standard deterioration, particularly along US Highway 441 and SR 70. Policy 9.1: To assist in
improving level of service standards, Commercial redevelopment efforts shall be prioritized to mitigate
existing "strip" Commercial sites. Policy 9.2: Access points to Commercial centers shall be limited,
where feasible, to decrease traffic congestions along City arterials and other roadways. Policy 9.3:
Efforts shall be made, where appropriate, to separate local traffic from through traffic in Commercial
areas. The applicant must submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates that the above polices will be
met and that the Level of Service would not be degraded for the surrounding roads. Such analysis should
include the anticipated trips from the Commercial property to the east. (C) Compatibility with
Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed change to Commercial has been stated by the
applicant that it would not negatively impact surrounding properties. The proposed type of Commercial
uses and usage of buffers should be demonstrated before compatibility can be assumed. (D) Compliance
with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies (as they are intended) in the
Comprehensive Plan would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Commercial should
compatibility, acceptable impacts on traffic, sewer, water and overall fiscal feasibility resulting from this
re-designation, can be shown by supporting data and analysis.
Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: Staff does not recommend for approval of
applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map to Commercial.
Mr. LaRue added that he is willing to work with the applicant, however additional information is needed
such as a traffic impact analysis, stormwater plan and the fiscal anlaysis.
There were several surrounding property owners in attendance and spoke their concerns regarding noise,
odors, traffic, and buffers so they will still have their natural surrounding environment. These items are
addressed during site plan review. Planning Staff advised that any development would be required to
address the concerns at that time and would have to comply with all regulations.
Mr. Don Hackl, property owner, addressed the Agency by explaining that retail is the highest and best
use for this property, it will increase the tax base and create more jobs. Mr. Glenn Stroud, an associate
of Mr. Hackl's, added, without the land use change, developers nor retailers, will not look at or consider
the property seriously. The traffic study will not be cost feasible without the certainty of the land use
or rezoning change.

Mr. LaRue briefly reviewed the Staff Report as follows:
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: The City Council and Local Planning Agency
are required to address certain uses in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan, which may be
categorized as follows:
VII. LARGE SCALE PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED.
B.
Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment
Application No. 06-CI-002 continued.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use
categories and Plan Policies. This Large Scale Plan Amendment application speaks about a mixed-use
development but there is little data explaining and supporting this approach or justifying the request of
Multi-Family Residential for the entire parcel. Objective 2: The City of Okeechobee will ensure that
all new development is consistent with the Future Land Use Element. Policy 2.1: The following land
use designations are established for the purpose of managing future growth: (b) Multi-family
Residential. Permitted uses include apartments, duplexes, condominiums, single-family houses and
public facilities. Maximum density shall not exceed 10 units per acre. Where affordable housing is
provided in accordance with Housing Policy 1.6, the maximum density for multi-family development
shall be 11 units per acre. As submitted, the application and supporting documentation is insufficient
to support the change from Single Family to Multi-Family. Given its proximity to Taylor Creek, the
Comprehensive Plan states that the City must protect environmentally sensitive areas from high density
development such as what is being proposed by the applicant. Because of the property's proximity to
Taylor Creek, Policy 7.2 of the Comprehensive Plan must be adhered to and the applicant hasn't given
supporting evidence of that. The inclusion of a Marina with 96 slips and a fuel dock has also not been
assessed with regard to this Policy. Policy 7.2: The City shall continue to protect environmentally
sensitive areas from development of a type and intensity which would disrupt their natural functions.
(B) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Before this request can be approved, the City
must consider the proposed impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS
for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee
Utility Authority (OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The below is the anticipated
flow for the proposed 320 units is expected to be approximately 95,000 GPD. The existing capacity
of the surface and ground water supply plants are 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD already committed to use.
As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The OVA would have capacity to serve the proposed
development but recent approvals have not been considered in this assessment of remaining water
capacity. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/
capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority
(QUA). The estimated wastewater flows for the subject property would be 95,000 GPD. The
existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000
GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a minimum of 300,000 GPD of excess
capacity. The QUA has stated that plans are underway to construct an addition to the plant which
will permit an additional 3 MGD. It should be noted that the City has received several recent Plan
Amendments counting on future sewer plant expansion. A better analysis showing committed
service needs to be shown.

Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment
Application No. 06-CI-002 continued.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (B) Concurrency of Adequate Public
Facilities continued. Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 Ibs/capitaJday and
3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would generate
approximately 12,350 lbs/day of solid waste. The applicant must provide a letter from Okeechobee
County determining whether the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development.
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. Because of the vulnerability of Taylor Creek,
there needs to be a more specific delineation of the Best Management Practices used for water quality
enhancement in stormwater discharges. Recreation and Open Space: The adopted LOS for recreation
and open space is 3 acresll,OOO persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's
population by approximately 950 additional people. The development would need approximately 3 acres
of recreational facilities in order to meet the adopted LOS for parks. The applicant has stated that this
would be met with the provision of on-site facilities, but this doesn't seem completely consistent with
the intent of the Recreation and Open Space LOS Standards of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 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. In addition, Objective 9 of the Traffic Circulation Element states: Objective 9: The City of
Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future Level of Service Standard deterioration, particularly
along US Highway 441 and SR 70. The subject property would be serviced by US 441. The applicant
has provided a traffic analysis which showed that traffic would be impacted by the proposed
development. It was estimated that the proposed land use would result in an increase of 666 daily trips
and 40 PM peak hour trips with 33 more trips in and 7 more trips out. This traffic study is being
examined but it does not seem that the traffic analysis has contemplated any of the Commercial Non-
Residential or Marina impacts. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The
proposed land use change to Multi-Family at ten dwelling units an acre for the entire site is not
compatible for this location. There has not been shown enough supporting data to indicate that this level
of density is needed to this site. Given the property's proximity to Taylor Creek, staff is concerned that
development might negatively impact this environmentally sensitive area. The Taylor Creek right-of-
way per recorded plat should be recognized as non-buildable. It is not clear who is being asked to
abandon the Taylor Creek right-of-way. Policy 2.3: The City shall continue to require that all
development proposals be accompanied by an inventory of wetlands, soils posing severe limitation to
construction, unique habitat, City shall further require that the extent to which any development or
redevelopment is proposed to be placed in/on, to disturb, or to alter the natural functions of any of these

Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and
Nearby Land Uses Policy 2.3 continued: resources, be identified. Such identification shall occur at
a phase in the development review process that provides the opportunity for the City to review the
proposed project to ensure that direct and irreversible impacts on the identified resources are minimized,
or in the extreme, mitigated. Where development is determined to encroach upon a resource, the City
shall require a specific management plan to be prepared by the developer, which results in no net loss
of wetlands and which includes necessary modifications to the proposed development, specific setback
and buffers, and clustering of development away from site resources, to ensure the protection,
preservation or natural functions of the resource. The minimum buffer for wetlands shall be 25 feet and
the average of all setbacks from the wetland resource shall be 40 feet. Areas designated as buffers shall
preserve all natural vegetative cover, except where drainageways and access paths are approved to cross
the buffer. Buffers may be supplemented only with native tress, shrubs and ground covers. Policy 7.1:
The City shall continue to amend and enforce land development regulations consistent with the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) Best Management Practices referenced in Policy 1.4,
which will minimize the flow into Taylor Creek of organic nutrients, pesticides, sediment, and other
substances having the potential to degrade water quality. The applicant has done a brief Florida Land
Use Cover & Classification Systems (FLUCCS) analysis on this property but no Management Plan has
been suggested to ensure there is not a loss of wetlands. It would seem that there could be an
enhancement of some of these wetlands areas rather than just concluding that these areas are marginal.
Conservation Element Conservation Element: Policy 4.1: Through Future Land Use Policy 2.3 and
implementing Land Development Regulations, the City shall continue to conserve wetlands and protect
water quality in Taylor Creek from adverse impacts of development. Policy 5.1: The City shall enforce
provisions in its Land Development Regulations to ensure that new development, regardless of its
location in the City, meets the following conditions: (a) does not degrade water quality in Taylor Creek;
(b) does not threaten groundwater quality, particularly in the vicinity of municipal wells; (c) preserves
existing wetland areas; (d) avoids the disturbance of natural drainage features; and (e) preserves habitat
for endangered and/or threatened wildlife species. In examining the above Policies, there is not enough
supporting evidence to indicate that the wetlands and natural resource areas will be adequately protected.
Also, there might be measures to revitalize the wetland areas that haven't been suggested. Postponing
the addressing of this until Site Plan time isn't adequately responding to this issue and is more prevalent
in poorly planned conversion of rural properties, a characteristic of Urban Sprawl. (D) Compliance
with the Specific Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended
within the Comprehensive Plan, do not support an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi-
Family.

Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (D) Compliance with the Specific Standards
of the Plan continued. The proposal would be more consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan by
following Single Family densities.
Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: The eXlstmg Comprehensive Plan Goals,
Objectives, and Policies will not support Multi-Family uses at this location. Therefore, it should be
recommended that the City Council find the application not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
If mixed-uses are warranted at this property, perhaps a new Future Land Use category can be suggested
that would provide performance standards and allow development at a lower density.
Staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map to Multi-Family
based on the above inconsistencies to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Mark Mathes of Lucido and Associates, representative for applicant CBC Close Construction,
and on behalf of the property owner Frank Altobello stated, Mr. Close has a strong desire to see the
City prosper and is aware of the need for housing. He distributed an aerial map with the land use
overlay indicating vacant multi-family parcels. He noted that there were no properties that exceeds
five acres. Mr. Mathes then proceeded to address some of the requested information as noted in the
Planning Staff Report. The data for the pottable water has been completed with QUA, and that the
OUA also used the proposed property development for their stormwater study project. The solid
waste analysis shows a capacity for up to 50 years. A traffic analysis was provided showing the
roads will be able to service the extra impact.
Agency Member Burroughs asked what was the purpose of the wave attenuator? Ms. Mary
Haaksma, also from CBC Close Construction, replied that it is to keep the shoreline from eroding,
and the waters calm.
Mr. O'Connor asked Mr. LaRue whether all the additional requested information had been
answered? Mr. LaRue replied yes, most of them were, but he still needed the site specifics density or
cap for the residential area. Mr. Mathes responded that at this time they had no numbers available. It
was discussed that they have the numbers for the proposed residential area by the transmittal meeting
with the City Council. Mr. Mathes also stated that should there be a favorable transmittal meeting
then they will submit a Planned Unit Development application, which must give more specifics.

VI. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER SMALL SCALE FUTURE LAND
USE MAP AMENDMENTS AT /7: () 5- P.M. - Chairperson
A. Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-012-SSA.
Consider a recommendation to the City Council to change the land use designation for an
unplatted parcel of land shown as the Railroad Grounds, lying within the Plat of the City
of Okeechobee, from Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF). The subject property is
located ~etween Southwest 2nd and 6th Streets. The application was submitted by Jeff
Sumner or Ken Treadwell on behalf of property owner Frank Altobello, Trustee - City
Planning Consultant. .'-~4j<-(f ___
Planning Staff Report Summary: The applicant is requesting the Multi-Family Future
Land Use Future Land Use category to develop 9.89 acres of land as a multi-family
development. The Multi-Family category would allow apartments, duplexes, and
condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre. This could allow up to 99 units
on the subject property. The only access for this property seems to be on Second Street.
This location and narrow access outlet is not a desirable opportunity to convert this
property to Multi-Family.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) As proposed, the
applicant's request is not consistent with the Multi-Family Land Use category as intended
in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This is a location
with inadequate traffic flow capability. The traffic impacts and potential incompatibility
to other Single Family uses have not been appropriately recognized. (B) Water is
available to the subject property but sewer availability has not been confirmed. Impacts to
traffic and schools have not been assessed. (C)The proposed change in Future Land Use
may accelerate too much residential growth in a location not suitable for such impacts,
especially from a traffic standpoint.(D)The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives
and Policies, as they are intended, do not support a change to Multi-Family residential use
at this time. Nearby vacant Multi-Family lands should be absorbed prior to further
expansion of apartments at this location.
Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: This application and its appearance
before the Council and the LP A was duly noticed for the public in accordance with the
notice requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. Staff does not
recommend approval to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single-Family to Multi-
Family based on the above comments and the application's inconsistency with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.

A. Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-
CI-001. Consider a recommendation to the City Council to change the land use
designation from Single Family (SF) to Commercial (C) for vacant unplatted property
located North of East North Park Street (State Road 70 East, across from the Post Office),
and is approximately 21.14 acre(s). The application was submitted by Craig M. Hackl,
President on behalf of property owner H20 Holdings, LLC - City Planning Consultant.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the
Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. The Comprehensive Plan describes the
Commercial Future Land Use category in the Future Land Use Element. It states: Policy
2.1(c): Commercial. Permitted uses include office, retail, automotive, wholesale, and
related Commercial activities. Also permitted are public facilities. Commercial
development shall not exceed a floor area ratio of 3.00 and the maximum impervious
surface for development within this category shall not exceed 85% of the site. Under the
proposed Commercial Future Land Use category, the applicant would be allowed to
develop the subject property with the Retail/Commercial uses. However, there is more
data necessary to be shown illustrating that this presently designated residential area
should become an intensive retail high impact location. (B) Concurrency of Adequate
Public Facilities. Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the
proposed impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for
potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the
Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The
anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided by the applicant, this data
is required. The existing capacity of the water supply plant is 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD
already committed to use. As such, the ~UA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The applicant
would need to submit a letter to the City which discusses the anticipated flow for the
development and that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development.
There should also be a deduction of water use for already approved developments
because the cumulative impact has not been contemplated if all approved developments
are built. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130
gallons/ capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee
Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property would be cannot be determined
at this time. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with
between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the ~UA has a
minimum of 300,000 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.
This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008. The applicant would need to verify

that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development. Solid Waste
Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 Ibs/capitaJday and 3 years available
landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The impacts of the proposed development will
be minimal as the uses will be Commercial in nature. 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. There should be at least a
conceptual understanding of how stormwater discharge will be handled for what is
obviously going to be the creation of impervious areas. Recreation and Open Space:
The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3 acres/1,OOO persons. The proposed
development is Commercial in nature and is not expected to impact parks. 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 subject property is serviced by SR 70. The applicant
has not provided a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed Development
would impact the surrounding roadway network. Objective 9 and its corresponding
policies (Traffic Circulation Element) states: Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall
encourage efforts to curtail future level of service standard deterioration, particularly
along US Highway 441 and SR 70. Policy 9.1: To assist in improving level of service
standards, Commercial redevelopment efforts shall be prioritized to mitigate existing
"strip" Commercial sites. Policy 9.2: Access points to Commercial centers shall be
limited, where feasible, to decrease traffic congestions along City arterials and other
roadways. Policy 9.3: Efforts shall be made, where appropriate, to separate local traffic
from through traffic in Commercial areas. The applicant must submit a traffic analysis
which demonstrates that the above polices will be met and that the Level of Service
would not be degraded for the surrounding roads. Such analysis should include the
anticipated trips from the Commercial property to the east. (C) Compatibility with
Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed change to Commercial has been stated
by the applicant that it would not negatively impact surrounding properties. The
proposed type of Commercial uses and usage of buffers should be demonstrated before
compatibility can be assumed. (D) Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan.
The Goals, Objectives and Policies (as they are intended) in the Comprehensive Plan
would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Commercial if
compatibility, acceptable impacts on traffic, sewer, water and overall fiscal feasibility
resulting from this re-designation, can be shown by supporting data and analysis.
Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions Staff does not recommend for
approval of applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map to Commercial.

VI. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER SMALL SCALE FUTURELAND
USE MAP AMENDMENTS AT '71 C) ~ P.M. - Chairperso~
A. Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-012-SSA.
Consider a recommendation to the City Council to change the land use designation for an
unplatted parcel of land shown as the Railroad Grounds, lying within the Plat of the City
of Okeechobee, from Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF). The subject property is
located at between Southwest 2nd and 6th Streets. The application was submitted by Jeff
Sumner or Ken Treadwell on behalf of property owner Frank Altobello, Trustee - City
Planning Consultant.
Planning Staff Report Summary: The applicant is requesting the Multi-Family Future
Land Use Future Land Use category to develop 9.89 acres of land as a multi-family
i development. The Multi-Family category would allow apartments, duplexes, and
condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre. This could allow up to 99 units
on the subject property. The only access for this property seems to be on Second Street.
This location and narrow access outlet is not a desirable opportunity to convert this
property to Multi-Family.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) As proposed, the
applicant's request is not consistent with the Multi-Family Land Use category as intended
in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This is a location
with inadequate traffic flow capability. The traffic impacts and potential incompatibility
! to other Single Family uses have not been appropriately recognized. (B) Water is
i . I available to the subject property but sewer availability has not been confirmed. Impacts to
traffic and schools have not been assessed. (C)The proposed change in Future Land Use
;, may accelerate too much residential growth in a location not suitable for such impacts,
especially from a traffic standpoint.(D)The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives
and Policies, as they are intended, do not support a change to Multi-Family residential use
at this time. Nearby vacant Multi-Family lands should be absorbed prior to further
expansion of apartments at this location.
Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: This application and its appearance
before the Council and the LPA was duly noticed for the public in accordance with the
notice requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. Staff does not
,; recommend approval to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single-Family to Multi-
Family based on the above comments and the application's inconsistency with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.

SCALE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS AND NARRATIVE (TEXT)
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSERVATION AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
ELEMENTS AT '1; II P.M. - Chairperson.
A. Comprehensive Plan ~ge Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 06-
CI-001. Consider a recommendation to the City Council to change the land use
designation from Single Family (SF) to Commercial (C) for vacant unplatted property
located North of East North Park Street (State Road 70 East, across from the Post Office),
and is approximately 21.14 acre(s). The application was submitted by Craig M. Hackl,
President on behalf of property owner H20 Holdings, LLC - City Planning Consultant.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysi~: (A.) Consistency with the
Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. The Comprehensive Plan describes the
Commercial Future Land Use category in the Futqre Land Use Element. It states: Policy
2.1(c): Commercial. Permitted uses include offic,?, retail, automotive, wholesale, and
related Commercial activities. Also permitted are public facilities. Commercial
development shall not exceed a floor area ratio of 3.00 and the maximum impervious
surface for development within this category shall not exceed 85% of the site. Under the
proposed Commercial Future Land Use category, the applicant would be allowed to
develop the subject property with the Retail/Commercial uses. However, there is more
data necessary to be shown illustrating that this presently designated residential area
should become an intensive retail high impact location. (B) Concurrency of A'dequate
Public Facilities. Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the
proposed impact on public facilities. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for
potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the
Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The
anticipated flow for the subject property has not been provided by the applicant, this data
is required. The existing capacity of the water supply plant is 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD
already committed to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The applicant
would need to submit a letter to the City which discusses the anticipated flow for the
development and that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development.
There should also be a deduction of water use for already approved developments
because the cumulative impact has not been contemplated if all approved developments
are built. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130
gallons/ capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee
Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property would be cannot be determined
at this time. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with
between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a
minimum of 300,000 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.
This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008. The applicant would need to verify

service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property
would be cannot be determined at this time. The existing capacity of the wastewater
treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to
use. As such, the OUA has a minimum of 300,000 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. This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008. The applicant
would need to verify that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed development.
Solid Waste DisP9sal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 lbs/capita/day and 3 years
available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The impacts of the proposed
development will be minimal as the uses will be Commercial in nature.
Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm, ?5-
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. There
should be at least a conceptual understanding of how stormwater discharge will be handled
for what is obviously going to be the creation of impervious areas. Recreation and Open
Space: The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3 acres/1,000 persons. The
proposed development is Commercial in nature and is not expected to impact parks. 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 subject property is serviced by SR 70. The applicant has not
provided a traffic analysis which demonstrates how the proposed Development would impact
the surrounding roadway network. Objective 9 and its corresponding policies (Traffic
Circulation Element) states: Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to
curtail future level of service standard deterioration, particularly along US Highway 441 and
SR 70. Policy 9.1: To assist in improving level of service standards, Commercial
redevelopment efforts shall be prioritized to mitigate existing "strip" Commercial sites.
Policy 9.2: Access points to Commercial centers shall be limited, where feasible, to decrease
traffic congestions along City arterials and other roadways. Policy 9.3: Efforts shall be
made, where appropriate, to separate local traffic from through traffic in Commercial areas.
The applicant must submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates that the above polices will
be met and that the Level of Service would not be degraded for the surrounding roads. Such
analysis should include the anticipated trips from the Commercial property to the east. (C)
Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed change to
Commercial has been stated by the applicant that it would not negatively impact surrounding
properties. The proposed type of Commercial uses and usage of buffers should be
demonstrated before compatibility can be assumed. (D) Compliance with the Specific
Standards of the Plan. The Goals, Objectives and Policies (as they are intended) in the
Comprehensive Plan would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to
Commercial if compatibility, acceptable impacts on traffic, sewer, water and overall fiscal
feasibility resulting from this re-designation, can be shown by supporting data and analysis.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
LPAlPB/BOAlORB Members
Lane Gamiotea, City Clerk c~
SUBJECT: Changes to the meeting agendas and minutes
FROM:
DATE:
May 16, 2006
First, let me apologize for not being able to attend this meeting to explain the changes we are planning
for the agendas and minutes. However, I am confident that Melisa can handle any questions you may
have.
The first thing we wanted to do was consolidate the LPA and PB agendas. Both are recommendation
boards that field LOR amendments, land use changes, comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings.
The LOR's specifically address the fact that the Planning Board is the City's Local Planning Agency,
which is all that is necessary to meeting Florida Statute requirements in setting up the citizen board to
review comprehensive plan amendments.
The second thing was we wanted to consolidate the Planning Board and Board of Adjustment and
Appeals agenda's. I have researched this process and its seems to be common practice among City's
and County's to have the consolidated agenda. Therefore you will only have one agenda and one set
of minutes. The title will be the "Planning Board/Board of Adjustment and Appeals."
We hope these changes will streamline the process and make it more user-friendly. Even though the
agenda's are consolidated, which will enable you to address several petitions for the same property, we
will always need to ensure that small scale map amendments are processed and action taken prior to
the rezoning petition. You will also be able to discuss rezoning petitions and special exceptions on the
same property. However, this will not change the fact that when you take action as listed under the duties
of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals, you are sitting as a "quasi judicial" board.
The change will take place beginning with your new meeting date in June. As always, please contact me
if you have questions at 763-3372 extension 215.
Thank you.

Subject:
06-012 SSA for Frank Altobello
As discussed with the applicant's representative Jeff Sumner, it is obvious that this
application is part of a project which was previously submitted and adopted as a Small Scale
Amendment (05-004-SSA). The Florida Department of Affairs would treat this type of
development as a Large Scale Amendment as the properties are contiguous and are all owned by
Mr. Altobello.

Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
e
Applicant: FranaObellO clo Jeff Sumner
Petition No. 06-012-SSA
Request:
The matter for consideration is for an Amendment to the City of Okeechobee's Future Land Use
Map from Single Family to Multi-Family to allow a multi-family housing development on the
subject property. Based on the size of the property (9.89 acres), this application qualifies under
Chapter 163, F.S., as a Small-Scale Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. This property is
located next to property on the eastern border that recently was changed to Multi-Family Future
Land Use. Other surrounding properties designated are Single Family.
Concurrent with the request, the applicant is also requesting a rezoning for the subject property
from Holding to RMF.

Summary:
The applicant is requesting the Multi-Family Future Land Use Future Land Use category to
develop 9.89 acres of land as a multi-family development. The Multi-Family category would
allow apartments, duplexes, and condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre. This
could allow up to 99 units on the subject property. The only access for this property seems to be
on Second Street. This location and narrow access outlet is not a desirable opportunity to
convert this property to Multi-Family.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis
A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies.
As proposed, the applicant's request is not consistent with the Multi-Family Land Use
category as intended in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan.

Staff Report
Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Applicant: Frank Altobello c/o Jeff Sumner
Petition No. 06-012-SSA
This is a location with inadequate traffic flow capability. The traffic impacts and potential
incompatibility to other Single Family uses have not been appropriately recognized.
B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities
Water is available to the subject property but sewer availability has not been confirmed.
Impacts to traffic and schools have not been assessed.
C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses
The proposed change in Future Land Use may accelerate too much residential growth in a
location not suitable for such impacts, especially from a traffic standpoint.
D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan.
The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended, do not
support a change to Multi-Family residential use at this time. Nearby vacant Multi-Family
lands should be absorbed prior to further expansion of apartments at this location.
Analysis and Conclusions
This application and its appearance before the Council and the LP A was duly noticed for the
public in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida
Statutes.
Staff does not recommend approval to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single-Family to
Multi-Family based on the above comments and the application's inconsistency with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.

Re.: Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Letter Outlining Request
Dear Reviewer:
The purpose for request of a Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the parcels
listed below is to allow the development of multi-family residences up to 10 units per
acre. By allowing the multi-family zoning, we feel we can provide more affordable
housing to the growing Okeechobee market and would also be compatible with existing
uses.
The proposed Minor Comp, Amendment is for the following parcels:

Request:
The matter for consideration is for an Amendment to the City of Okeechobee's Future Land Use Map
from Single Family to Multi-Family to allow a multi-family housing development on the subject
property. Based on the size of the property (9.195 acres), this application qualifies under Chapter 163,
F.S., as a Small-Scale Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Concurrent with this request, the applicant is also requesting a rezoning for the subject property from
RSF-1 to RMF.

Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Zoning District:
PUB
Zoning District:
Holding
Summary:
The applicant is requesting the Multi-Family Future Land Use category to develop 9.195 acres ofland
as a multi-family development. The Multi-Family category would allow apartments, duplexes, and
condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre. This could allow up to 92 units on the
subject property. The surrounding area to the east (Block 20) has been recently converted to Multi-
Family Residential Future Land Use but is still vacant.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis
A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies.
As proposed, the applicant's request does not show adequate data and analysis to support a
conversion to the Multi-Family Land Use category as shown in the Future Land Use Element of
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities
Water is available to the subject property. It is not clear whether sewer is available and with recent
conversions from Single Family there needs to be some acknowledgement of past approval
impacts. hnpacts to traffic and schools have not been assessed.
C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses
The proposed land is in a transitional neighborhood and it is difficult to know whether it will be
compatible with the adjacent and nearby uses.
D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan.
The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended, do allow for
a Small Scale Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi-Family. This proposed change at
this time is not consistent with the above Objectives and Policies.
Analysis and Conclusions
This application and its appearance before the Council and the LPA was duly noticed for the public in
accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes.

Re: Zoning Change Request
Tax ill 2-15-37-35-0AOO-00007-0000
2-15-37 -35-0AOO-00008-0000
Dear Zoning Board Members:
Attached herewith are the necessary documents in support of our request for a zoning change for a
portion of the property described in this submittal. The subject of this request is a 21.14 acre parcel
fronting on the north side of State Route 70, east of State Route 441 in Okeechobee City, Florida. That
portion of the subject site fronting on State Route 70 is currently zoned "Commercial" whereas the rear
portion of the same site is zoned "future residential".
Current interest in new housing development in Okeechobee suggests significant increases in population
in the near future. In turn, the need for commercial space and the jobs it brings rises in response to hous-
ing growth. The advantages that commercial zoning development brings to Okeechobee City in the form
of sales taxes, an enhanced real estate tax base and increased level of employment is self evident.
State Route 441 presently has the largest commercially developed properties within the city. State Route
70, immediately west of State Route 441 and now to the east of 441 constitutes the other principal
commercially zoned district serving the community. Future development along State Route 70 eastward
to Fort Pierce and southeast along State Route 710 (Bee Line Highway) will attract significant traffic and
commercial potential to the benefit of Okeechobee, both City and County.
This concept is already supported by every inquiry we have had on the subject property to date in which
interest in the property has been to zone the site "Commercial" in its entirety.
As indicated herein, the subject site is surrounded by commercially zoned property to the East and South.
Small trailer parks exist immediately West and across State Route 70 to the Southwest. A drainage swale
and overhead power lines separate the subject site from undeveloped residentially zoned property to the
North accessible only via SE 13th Avenue or perhaps off of State Route 441 North of State Route 70.
We respectfully request the subject property be changed to "all commercial" zoning from its current
zoning which is part commercial, part residential for the following reasons:
1. "Highest and best uses" of the subject site zoning is "Commercial" in that this zoning will benefit the
city most through sales taxes, higher real estate property taxes and increased employment.
2. State Route 70 at the subject property's location could hardly be considered a suitable roadway from
a residential perspective. Despite the fact that a four way intersection can be developed midway across
the subject site frontage, there is no other access to the currently zoned "Residential" portion of this prop-
erty. This means that access to the residential portion would only be available from a higWy trafficked
roadway (State Route 70) through property that is currently zoned "Commercial" - a circumstance which
is neither safe nor attractive to residential development.
3. All inquirers to date concerning the subject property have expressed the desire to have the entire site
zoned "Commercial". Furthennore, these interested parties wish to co-develop the subject site with the
adjoining 18 acres to the East (currently zoned commercial), to create a "destination" spot for the city.
Although premature, early talks reveal a mixed-use plan of retail (both large and small) and office space.
This would not only create a "destination" spot for family and friends, but it could also generate numer-
ous jobs for local citizens.
4. As Okeechobee City and County continue to grow, the State Route 70 corridor, particularly extending
east from State Route 441, will be better served by a site of the size, shape and character of the subject
property to be commercially zoned. This property, along with the adjoining 18 acres, has the potential not
only to becoming a "destination" spot, but it WILL be the first thing travelers from the East will see when
the\' cross into city limits.
5. Currently zoned trailer parks along State Route 70 should be phased out over time as they no longer
meet the "highest and best use" test and in fact are fast becoming a liability to the community in terms
of real estate tax contribution, requirements for City services, stability and appearance.
We would be pleased to respond to any questions that our proposal raises, but hopefully circumstances cited
in support of our request for the zoning changes requested are both self evident and self explanatory.
Respectfully submitted,

Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Item Before the lP A and City Council:
The matter before the Local Planning Agency and the City Council is a request to change the
Future Land Use Map (PLUM) for a portion of the above described property from Single Family
to Commercial. The request is more specifically shown on Exhibit A attached. Since the
property in question is over 10 acres (21.14 acres), this application qualifies under Florida
Statutes 163 as a "Large-Scale Amendment" to the Plan.
Adjacent Future land Use Map classifications and Zoning Districts:
The Table below summarizes the Future Land Use of the adjoining properties as well as the
zoning classifications. Given the property's proximity to SR 70, in addition to the existing land
uses of the abutting properties, the proposed Commercial development appears consistent with
the area to the east, but it is difficult to assess the total impact of the combined Commercial with
the neighborhood to the west.

Application Description:
The site is currently vacant and undeveloped and within the RMH, Holding, and CHV Zoning
Districts. Obviously the applicant is proposing Commercial uses for the property, but an exact
use has not been determined at this time. As such, before the applicant can receive a change in
Future Land Use for this site the City must have an idea of how the applicant plans to develop
the property.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis:
The City Council and Local Planning Agency are required to address certain uses in conjunction
with the Comprehensive Plan, which may be categorized as follows:
2
Staff Report
Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Applicant: H20 Holdings, LLC
06-C1-001
A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies.
The Comprehensive Plan describes the Commercial Future Land Use category in
the Future Land Use Element. It states:
Policy 2.1(c):
Commercial. Permitted uses include office, retail,
automotive, wholesale, and related Commercial
activities. Also permitted are public facilities.
Commercial development shall not exceed a floor area
ratio of 3.00 and the maximum impervious surface for
development within this category shall not exceed 85%
of the site.
Under the proposed Commercial Future Land Use category, the applicant would
be allowed to develop the subject property with the Retail/Commercial uses.
However, there is more data necessary to be shown illustrating that this presently
designated residential area should become an intensive retail high impact location.
B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities
Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the proposed impact
on public facilities.
Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The
subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority
(OUA) who provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the
subject property has not been provided by the applicant, this data is required. The
existing capacity of the water supply plant is 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD already
cOIlli'llitted to use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The applicant
would need to submit a letter to the City which discusses the anticipated flow for
the development and that the OUA would have capacity to serve the proposed
development. There should also be a deduction of water use for already approved
developments because the cumulative impact has not been contemplated if all
approved developments are built.
Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/
capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee
Utility Authority (OUA). Impacts for the subject property would be cannot be
determined at this time. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is
1.2 MGD, with between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As
such, the OUA has a minimum of 300,000 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. This is expected to be done by the summer of 2008.

e
APPI.t: H20 Holdings, LLC
06-C1-001
Staff Report
Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The applicant would need to verify that the OVA would have capacity to serve the
proposed development.
Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 lbs/capitaJday and 3
years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The impacts of the
proposed development will be minimal as the uses will be Commercial in nature.
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. There should be at least a conceptual understanding of how
storm water discharge will be handled for what is obviously going to be the
creation of impervious areas.
Recreation and Open Space: The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is
3 acres/l,OOO persons. The proposed development is Commercial in nature and is
not expected to impact parks.
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 subject
property is serviced by SR 70. The applicant has not provided a traffic analysis
which demonstrates how the proposed Development would impact the
surrounding roadway network. Objective 9 and its corresponding policies
(Traffic Circulation Element) states:
Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future
level of service standard deterioration, particularly along US
Highway 441 and SR 70.
Policy 9.1: To assist in improving level of service standards, Commercial
redevelopment efforts shall be prioritized to mitigate existing
"strip" Commercial sites.
Policy 9.2: Access points to Commercial centers shall be limited, where
feasible, to decrease traffic congestions along City arterials and
other roadways.
Policy 9.3: Efforts shall be made, where appropriate, to separate local traffic
from through traffic in Commercial areas.
The applicant must submit a traffic analysis which demonstrates that the above
polices will be met and that the Level of Service would not be degraded for the
surrounding roads. Such analysis should include the anticipated trips from the
Commercial property to the east.
4
Staff Report
Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Applicant: H20 Holdings, LLC
06-C1-001
C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses.
The proposed change to Commercial has been stated by the applicant that it
would not negatively impact surrounding properties. The proposed type of
Commercial uses and usage of buffers should be demonstrated before
compatibility can be assumed.
D. Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan.
The Goals, Objectives and Policies (as they are intended) in the Comprehensive
Plan would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Commercial
if compatibility, acceptable impacts on traffic, sewer, water and overall fiscal
feasibility resulting from this re-designation, can be shown by supporting data
and analysis.
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
The applicant's supporting data and analysis do not presently support Commercial uses at this
location. It is recommended that the LP A and City Council find the application to be
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan until the applicant submits the following information:
1. Traffic analysis;
2. Water and sewer analysis for the proposed development; and
3. Discusses the type of Commercial uses to be developed on the site as some levels
of intensity might be appropriate while some uses would not;
4. Demonstrate the Fiscal impacts for this Plan Amendment that would qualify this
Amendment as being fiscally feasible under Florida Statutes.
Attachments
Attachments to this Staff Report include a copy of the Future Land Use Map indicating the
location of the subject property.
Assessment and Conclusions
Staff does not recommend for approval of applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use
Map to Commercial.

Re: Taylor Creek Marina & Fishing Village
Dear Mr. Close:
Thank you for the information regarding the above-mentioned proposed land use
amendment
As you are aware, we are experiencing unprecedented growth within our county
which has the potential of greatly impacting our school population. Therefore, we are
requesting that any new development being proposed within our county fully comply
with the concurrency law passed during the 2005 legislative session_
In part. the concurrency law requires that a standard level of service be adopted for
school facilities and that standard of service be applied to all residential
developments at the time of application for a site plan or at final approval of the
development. The law further stipulates that a developer may satisfy school
concurrency through mitigation proportionate to the demand of capacity.
Mitigation may be satisfied by one or more of the following: contribution of land;
payment for construction or land acquisition; school construdion. However. the
developer must execute a legally binding agreement with the local government and
school board in order to satisfy mitigation requirements_
Senate Bill 360 is a "pay as you grow" plan which enables developers, local
governments and school boards to partner 8S we experience the phenomenal growth
anticipated within our state. We in Okeechobee County Schools look forward to
continuing our cooperative relationship with local government and private concerns
as we keep this most important legislation in mind.
Thank you.

Requemor Comprehensive Plan Amend"-t
Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multifamily Residential
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
The following policies of the Comprehensive Plan are relevant to the subject request. The proposed
amendment is consistent with these policies. As the CGMP has been found to be internally consistent,
as required by State statutes, the proposed amendment is thus also consistent with the remainder of
the Comprehensive Plan.
Future Land Use Element
Policy 1.1 - Please refer to the specific sections within this report that present an analysis of the
potential demand from the proposed amendment if developed under a worst-case scenario of ten units
per acre. In summary, all required public facilities will continue to operate at the required levels of
service given existing or planned capacities.
Policy 2.2 - The proposed amendment will not result in the loss of any property rights to adjacent land
owners.
Policy 7.2 - The proposed amendment will not result in an intensity of use that will disrupt the natural
system. The existing site is devoid of native upland habitat. The protection of Taylor Creek will be
demonstrated through the local government site specific development application.
Policy 9.1 through 9.3 - The proposed amendment is consistent with the stated goals of the Resource
Management Plan for the Lower Kissimmee River and Taylor Creek Drainage Basins. Given the
requirements of the local government and federal and state permitting agencies. the protection of
Taylor Creek will be demonstrated through the local government site specific development application.
Transportation Element
Policy 8.1 and 8.2 - The proposed amendment is consistent with these policies as demonstrated by the
traffic analysis presented. The analysis indicates that the surrounding road network can accommodate
the incremental demand that would potentially occur if developed under its worst case scenario of ten
units per acre. The analysis utilizes slightly different acreages than those obtained from the legal and
sketches due to the timing of each product. However, since the traffic analysis is based on a higher
acreage, it represents an even more conservative analysis.
Housing Element
Policy 1.1 and 1.11 - The proposed amendment further implements these policies by allocating
additional residential densities near facilities and services where a full complement of public facilities
will be available concurrent with the demand.
Conservation Element
Policy 2.2 and 3.3 - The proposed land use change does not affect the quality or quantity of
groundwater and does not endanger any existing native vegetative communities. Such a determination
can only be made upon submittal of a site specific development plan. Regulations of the SFWMD
dictate that post development conditions must not affect the quality or quantity of groundwater. The

Kequest for Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multifamily Residential
existing site is devoid of native habitats except for the large wetland that will be preserved/mitigated as
allowed by the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan.
Policy 4.4 - The designation of the existing wetland as Conservation pursuant to this policy shall be
accomplished through the approval of site specific development plans and required agency permits that
require conservation easements over all existing natural systems to remain. At that time, the City may
elect to seek an amendment of the land use to Conservation.
Recreation
Policy 1.2 - The change in future land use will not reduce the compatibility standards between the
proposed use and any existing or proposed recreation areas.
Compliance with State Growth Mana~ement Requirements.
Florida's Department of Community Affairs evaluates local plan amendments for consistency with Rule
9-J5, Florida Administrative Code, which sets out criteria for determining whether a proposed plan
amendment demonstrates consistency with the mandates of the Local Government Comprehensive
Planning and Land Development Regulation Act and the State Comprehensive Plan. The applicant
must demonstrate that the proposed plan amendment is consistent with all state requirements.
Since the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan has been found to be consistent with all state
requirements, a demonstration of compliance of the proposed amendment with the City of Okeechobee
Comprehensive Plan in turn demonstrates compliance with all state requirements.
Please refer to the section titled Compliance with City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan for the
applicant's demonstration of compliance.
In addition, the proposed future land use must not encourage urban sprawl as outlined in Sections 9J5-
006.(5)(g) through (5)0) of the Florida Administrative Code. The noted regulations set forth the major
components of a methodology to determine the presence of urban sprawl. Paragraph (5)(g) identifies
13 primary indicators of urban sprawl which are to be applied and analyzed as set forth in the rule.
Paragraph (5)(h) describes how land use aspects of a plan shall be analyzed. The land use element,
including both the future land use map and associated objectives and policies, represents the focal
point of the local government's planning effort. Paragraph (5)(i) describes the unique features and
characteristics of each jurisdiction which provide the context of the analysis and which are needed to
evaluate the extent, amount or frequency of an indicator and the significance of an indicator for a
specific jurisdiction. Paragraph (5)0) recognizes that land use plans generally may be significantly
affected by other development policies in a plan which may serve to mitigate the presence of urban
sprawl indicators based on the land use plan alone. Paragraph (5)0) describes development controls
which may be used by a local government to mitigate the presence of sprawl.
In general, Section 9J-5.006(5)(!) states that provision of innovative planning such as urban villages,
new towns, satellite communities, area-based allocations, clustering and open space provisions, mixed-
use development and sector planning that allow the conversion of rural and agricultural lands to other
uses will be recognized as methods of discouraging urban sprawl and will be determined consistent
with the provisions of the state comprehensive plan, regional policy plans, Chapter 163, Part II, F.S.,
and the Florida Administrative Code regarding discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl. As such,
the proposed future land use amendment to the New Community Development district, which requires

Reques",",or Comprehensive Plan Amendn1lf1t
Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multifamily Residential
the creation of mixed-use development, urban villages, and open space, is thus consistent with the
requirements for discouraging urban sprawl. Nevertheless, a detailed urban sprawl analysis is
provided below. Our analysis of consistency is provided within a text block following each indicator.
Analysis of primary indicators
1. Promotes, allows or designates for development substantial areas of the jurisdiction to develop as
low-intensity, low-density, or single-use development or uses in excess of demonstrated need.
The proposed request to Multifamily Residential will actually increase densities within the City of
Okeechobee in close proximity to the urban center.
2. Promotes, allows or designates significant amounts of urban development to occur in rural areas at
substantial distances from existing urban areas while leaping over undeveloped lands which are
available and suitable for development.
The proposed request to Multifamily Residential will actually increase densities within the City of
Okeechobee in close proximity to the urban center. The proposed request is also adjacent to an
existing designation of Multifamily Residential on the future land use map.
3. Promotes, allows or designates urban development in radial, strip, isolated or ribbon patterns
generally emanating from existing urban developments.
The location of the proposed future land use amendment is not in a radial, strip, isolated or ribbon
pattern generally emanating from existing urban developments.
4. As a result of premature or poorly planned conversion of rural land to other uses, fails adequately to
protect and conserve natural resources, such as wetlands, floodplains, native vegetation,
environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas, lakes, rivers, shorelines,
beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other significant natural systems.
The proposed request to a Multifamily Residential future land use will not result in the premature or
poorly planned conversion of rural land to other uses. Adequate site design techiques will be
employed to adequately to protect and conserve natural resources, such as wetlands,
floodplains, native vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer
recharge areas, lakes, rivers, shorelines, beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other
significant natural systems.
5. Fails adequately to protect adjacent agricultural areas and activities, including silviculture, and
including active agricultural and silvicultural activities as well as passive agricultural activities and
dormant, unique and prime farmlands and soils.
The location of the proposed future land use amendmentis within the existing boundaries of City's
corporate limits and is removed from any existing agricultural uses.
6. Fails to maximize use of existing public facilities and services.
The proposed site will be served by a full complement of existing urban services.

r<.equest for Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multifamily Residential
7. Fails to maximize use of future public facilities and services.
A higher utilization of this site will ensure that future pubic services are minimized within outlining areas.
8. Allows for land use patterns or timing which disproportionately increase the cost in time, money and
energy, of providing and maintaining facilities and services, including roads, potable water, sanitary
sewer, storm water management, law enforcement, education, health care, fire and emergency
response, and general government.
The proposed site will be served by a full complement of existing urban services. Because the property
has been planned for "next-in-line" development, it will enable public facilities and services to be
extended in an orderly manner without disproportionate increases in cost.
9. Fails to provide a clear separation between rural and urban uses.
The proposed site is surrounded by other lands within the City of Okeechobee's coporate limits and
thereby maintains clear separation between urban and rural uses.
10. Discourages or inhibits infi/! development or the redevelopment of existing neighborhoods and
communities.
The proposed request provides for an opportunity to develop multifamily housing that is currently
lacking to a large degree within the City.
11. Fails to encourage an attractive and functional mix of uses.
The proposed site, being within the City and adjacent to equal or higher intensity lands, will provide for
an attractive and functional mix of uses.
12. Results in poor accessibility among linked or related land uses.
The proposed project will provide for reasonable connections to surrounding development to ensure
among linked or related land uses.
13. The proposed change will not result in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space.
The proposed change will not result in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space. The
existing use does not provide functional open space. With the conversion to a Multifamily Residential
future land use and the development of a mixed use project of housing, shops, marina, restaurants,
etc., the proposed land use will provide significant amounts of functional open space that will be
planned for active and passive recreation by residents of the new community and others.
Encroachment of Incompatible development
As the City of Okeechobee has developed, US-441 south has developed as an area of mixed
commercial and residential uses from hotels, restaurants, and other service businesses to repair shops
and retail stores. The residential uses in the area though have remained largely the same stock that
has been in place for a number of years. US-441 has also been expanded and a full complement of
urban services are available along the corridor.

Requesnor Comprehensive Plan Amendn1lrlt
Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multifamily Residential
The subject site is bound on the east by Taylor Creek and the west by developed commercial land
fronting SR-441 with a Commercial future land use designation. To the north lies an existing single-
family development known as Taylor Creek with a Single Family Residential future land use
designation. This development is separated from the subject site by S.E. 8th Street and can be
adequately buffered through internal buffering provisions. To the south lies vacant land with a
Multifamily Residential future land use designation which is under the same ownership as the subject
parcel.
Given the adjacent existing and future land uses, the proposed request for Multifamily Residential
future land use will not result in the encroachment of incompatible development.
Natural resource protection
Please refer to the enclosed environmental assessment conducted for the entire property holdings
including the 38 acres subject to the request for a future land use amendment. The site is mostly
devoid of native habitat except for largest wetland system. However, as stated in the assessment, the
hydrology of the cypress slough on the southwestern side of the site has been restricted to the point
that subsidence of the soil is clearly evident. If this condition continues, the cypress canopy will
eventually be replaced with upland species.
Transportation
Please refer to the enclosed traffic statement. The analysis utilizes slightly different acreages than
those obtained from the legal and sketches due to the timing of each product. However, since the
traffic analysis is based on a higher acreage, it represents an even more conservative analysis.
Schools
Currently, the Okeechobee County School District has adequate capacity at the middle and upper
school levels; however, the elementary school system is currently at capacity. The School Board has
programmed additional elementary school capacity through the State's Rural Schools Program.
Funding has been requested through the legislative delegation. Appropriation is expected in FY2007
with construction to commence by 2008. The Okeechobee School District has utilized this funding
source for expansion to the school system in the past.
The timing is concurrent with the expected timeframe of proposed project. The request for a future land
use amendment is expected to be transmitted to the State Department of Community Affairs by mid-
2006 with final adoption expected by late-2006. With the State's new requirements for public school
concurrency passed during the 2005 legislative session, the proposed project is expected to meet the
concurrency requirements through mitigation proportionate to the demand for capacity as allowed by
State statutues. As the local government application for site plan approval is not expected to be
submitted untillate-2006, with approval granted in mid-2007, the certainty of the funding program for
the additional capacity will be in place. Site construction would then commence with the first certificate
of occupancy in 2008 - the expected timeline for the construction of the new elementary school.
Please refer to the enclosed letter of Okeechobee County School Board for confirmation.

The closest elementary school, Central Elementary, is located at 610 S.W. Fifth S1. The middle school
is located at 825 S.W. 28th S1. The high school is located at 2800 N.W. Highway 441 North.
Water & Wastewater
The water and wastewater service for this project is provided by the Okeechobee Utility Authority.
Application for capacity reservation has been submitted to ~UA.
The following is an analysis of the water and wastewater flows for the property with its existing future
land use designation of Residential Single Family allowing up to four units per acre. Based upon this
criterion, the 33 acre parcel would allow for up to 132 single family residential units to be constructed on
this site. The balance of the site (approximately 4.5 acres) does not currently contain a development
allowance. With each unit individually metered, the estimated water and wastewater flows are as
follows:
Existing Conditions
Use Units Rate Gallons pe
day
Single Family 132 250 GPD - water 33,000
Residential 250 GPD - sewer 33,000
rl
]
The following is an analysis of the water and wastewater flows for the property with the proposed future
land use designation allowing up to 10 units per acre. The analysis is based upon maximum
development scenario of 380 units based upon the 38 acre site. With each unit individually metered,
the estimated water and wastewater flows are as follows:
Proposed Conditions
Use Area Rate Gallons per
day
Multi Family 380 units 250 GPD - water 95,000
Residential 250 GPD - sewer 95,000
Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants
Based on information obtained from the Okeechobee Utility Authority, the permitted capacity of the
surface water treatment plant is 5.0 mgd with the ground water treatment plant rated at 1.0 mgd. The
wastewater treatment plant permitted capacity is currently 1.0 mgd.
The Okeechobee Utility Authority is currently in the construction phase of additional filters which will
bring the wastewater treatment plant to a temporary capacity of 1.23 mgd. This work should be
completed by June 2006. Additionally, the wastewater treatment plant is under a design/permitting
phase for an expansion of 3.0 mgd that will bring the total treatment plant capacity to 4.0 mgd and
should be operational by June 2008.
The average daily flow of the combined water treatment plant finished water production is 1.93 mgd for
the period of January 2005 through December 2005. The average daily flow of the wastewater
Page 6
.. CBC Management Corp. _
RequesrTor Comprehensive Plan Amend~t
Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multifamily Residential
treatment plant is 0.89 mgd for the same time period. The Okeechobee Utility Authority reports an
outstanding water treatment plant flow commitment of approximately 0.25 mgd with an outstanding
wastewater treatment plant flow commitment of approximately 0.1 mgd.
Based upon these figures and as stated in the attached service availability letter, the Okeechobee
Utility Authority will have on or before June 2008 adequate capacity to serve the proposed demand
created by the increased density of the proposed future land use amendment.
Police
Please refer to the enclosed letter of service availability from the City of Okeechobee Police
Department. The nearest police station is 50 S.E. Second Ave. No additional police stations are
scheduled. The existing police station should be able to maintain its level of service standard with the
proposed amendment given that the project is already allocated for residential development and is
within the service area approximately one mile from the site.
Fire
Please refer to the enclosed letter of service availability from the City of Okeechobee Fire Department.
The nearest fire station is located at 55 S.E. Third Ave. No additional fire stations are scheduled. The
existing fire station should be able to maintain its level of service standard with the proposed
amendment given that the project is already allocated for residential development and is within the
service area approximately one mile from the site.
Solid Waste
The City of Okeechobee's solid waste level of service is 13 pounds per capita per day and a three year
availability of landfill capacity. Given the maximum number of potential units of 380 with 2.5 person per
dwelling, the maximum demand for the project would be approximately 12,350 punds per day.
The City of Okeechobee does not operate solid waste landfills. Currently, the landfill is operated by
Okeechobee County. As such, the City does not incur any capital expenditures.
A letter from the solid waste service provider, Waste Management pertaining to solid waste service
availability is attached. According to Okeechobee County, the existing landfill has surplus capacity in
excess of three years.
Stormwater ManaQement
Except for the native wetland which occupies about eight acres, the project site has been altered from
its original condition and is currently in use as improved pasture The existing stormwater management
system consists of a shallow interconnected ditch system with outfall directly to Taylor Creek.
Stormwater runoff quantity and quality are strictly regulated by the City and the SFWMD to ensure that
pre-development drainage conditions are maintained. The proposed rate of discharge from the site will
be less than or equal to the existing discharge rate from the site. The discharges off-site will be
Page 7
CBC Management Cor(:.
t<equest for Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multifamily Residential
minimized by on-site detention within the stormwater management system. The ultimate site discharge
will be to Taylor Creek.
The Stormwater Management System will employ, wherever practical, a variety of Best Management
Practices (BMP). The following are a list of potential BMP that could be integrated into the Water
Management System during the final design and permitting stage:
. Oil and grease skimmers;
· Environmental swales;
. Minimize "short-circuiting" of pond flow patterns;
. Raised storm inlets in grassed swales;
· Utilize stormwater retention where feasible; and
. Street cleaning and general site maintenance.
The drainage system will be owned, operated and maintained by a public entity or a responsible
property owners association acceptable to the City and the SFWMD.
Historical on-site wetlands will be maintained as part of the surface water management system. There
are no Outstanding Florida Waters, Florida Aquatic Preserves or Florida Class I or /I waters occurring
within or abutting the project site.
Potential adverse impacts to ground and surface waters will be minimized by implementation of
appropriate erosion control measures during construction in accordance with the NPDES Generic
Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Activities. Erosion control
measures that may be implemented include stabilization practices such as temporary seeding,
permanent seeding, mulching, geotextiles, or sod stabilization; structural practices such as silt fences,
earth dikes, diversions, swales, sediment traps, check dams, or storm drain inlet protection; and
sediment basins.
The project is located entirely in Zone X according to the Okeechobee County FEMA FIRM panel Map
Index. According to the Map Index, the applicable FIRM panel is not printed because the entire panel
is located in Zone X. Zone X is defined as "Areas of 500-year flood; areas of 1 DO-year flood with
average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas less than 1 square mile; and areas protected
by levees from 1 DO-year flood". Please refer to the FEMA map. There are currently no known flooding
or erosion control problems associated with the project site. No 100-year flood prone areas exist on
site, therefore no structures, roadways or utilities are proposed within any 1 DO-year flood prone areas.
There are no existing wellfields located within two miles of the project site.
Parks and Recreation
The project will be designed to provide residents with a variety of recreational facilities and open
spaces to ensure the community's quality of life. No land will be removed that was previously used by
residents of the region for any recreational use. No existing recreational trail is designated across the
property. Therefore, the project doesn't have the potential for impacting a recreational trail designated
pursuant to Chapter 260, F.S. and Chapter 16D-7, F.A.C.
The City's adopted level of service standard for recreation and parks is 3.0 acres per 1,000 people.
Based on the estimated population of 950 people (38 acres x 10 upa x 2.5 ppd), the project's minimum
acreage requirement for recreation and park space is approxmately 3 acres. The project will meet the
Page 8

Requemor Comprehensive Plan Amend~t
Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multifamily Residential
park and open space mandates through on-site facilites and provision of impact fees. The planned
system of parks and open spaces is consistent with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan.
HistoricallArcheoloQical Resources
There are no known archeological or historical sites within the project boundaries. A request has been
sent to the Florida Division of Historic Resources. Given the improvements made to date (improved
pasture), the likelihood of the presence of a historic or archeological site regarded as potentially eligible
for listing on the National Register of Historic Sites to occur on the parcel is limited.
Hurricane Preparedness
According to information in the Treasure Coast Transportation Analysis Hurricane Evacuation Study
Update 2003, dated November 2003, the property is not located in any storm surge zone. The property
is not within the Category 3 Hurricane Evacuation Area.
It is estimated that the majority of people will remain in their homes within the project during a hurricane
event, due to the project location relative to the Atlantic coastline. However, in the event of a significant
hurricane, the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may activate evacuation shelters
throughout the County as it deems necessary. The evacuation shelters are typically opened in areas
within the hurricane's 100-mile path. Many of the public schools in Okeechobee County serve as
evacuation shelters.
US-441, directly adjacent to the project site, is the closest evacuation route. Additionally, SR-70,
approximately 1 mile to the north will assist in evacuation of the area by providing additional evacuation
routes. All traffic control devices will utilize hurricane tested mast arms and street lights further
minimizing service interruptions and enhancing safety prior to, during, and after a major hurricane.
It should also be noted that due to recent changes to the Florida Building Code, specifically, Chapter
16, Structural Design, as well as the construction methods to be used in the project, the residential
homes will provide shelter for residents during hurricane events. As a result of the changes in the
construction process, residents will have safer and more secure homes, thereby reducing evacuation
volumes and shelter space requirements. In addition, underground utilities will be used throughout the
development reducing potential service interruptions. Finally, additional mitigation measures for special
needs populations will be determined through the local government approval process of the Planned
Unit Development.

2-21-37-3S-0AOO-0004S-0000, Okeechobee, Okeechobee County, FL
Discussion:
The site consists of three contiguous parcels of land that are located along the western
bank of Taylor Creek in the town of Okeechobee. These three parcels total approximately
60 acres. Wetlands were identified, delineated and flagged on the site. In addition, the
site was inspected for flora and fauna that are listed on the state and federal threatened
and endangered species list by Mark Youmans of Ierner and Associates, Inc. These site
inspections occulTed over the course of several separate visits in the SUlmner of 2005.
Follow-up surveys by Survco Inc. placed the wetland boundary on a celiified land
survey. The wetlands were verified by Stephanie Raymond from the South Florida Water
Management (SFWMD) on January 22, 2005. On February 8, 2006, Andy Phillips from
the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) verified the consultant's jurisdiction wetland
findings during ajoinl sitc visit. Three minor wetland areas were added to the weIland
inventory. This information is included on the attachcd site map (Exhibit B). A FLUCCS
map is included as Exhibit C.
Conclusion:
Although the three additional wetland areas are updated on the attached site map, the
celiified land survey has not yet been upd~ted to include them. This will take place within
the next few weeks as scheduling pennits.
During the course of the field work, Mark Youmans of Jerner and Associates, Inc. also
~,
searched for Flora and Fauna that are listed on the state and federal threatened and
endangered species list. No threatened or endangered species have been located on site.
This finding was verified by the staff from SFWMD and ACOE. A list of all plant
species identified on site is included as Exhibit A.
It is of special concern that many ofthe heavily vegetated/forested areas contain large
percentages of invasive/exotic plant species that are displacing the native pl311tS. It is
recommended that any mitigation plans proposed for this project include plans to
eliminate the invasive/exotic species on site.
In addition, the hydrology of the cypress slough on the southwestern side ofthe site has
been restricted to the point that subsidence ofthe soil is clearly evident. If this condition
continues, the cypress canopy will eventually be replaced with upland species.
Please see the attached exhibits (A, B & C) for fmiher infonnation.

Request:
The matter before the Land Planning Agency and the City Council is a request to change the
Future Land Use Map (PLUM) for the above described property from Single Family to Multi-
Family. The request is more specifically shown on Exhibit A attached. Since the property in
question is over 10 acres (37.48 acres), this application qualifies under Florida Statutes 163 as a
"Large-Scale Amendment" to the Plan. More than likely, the subject property will be combined
with contiguous property, already in a Multi-Family category to make a total development.

Application Description:
The applicant requests a change in the Future Land Use Map Designation for the subject
property from Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF). The subject property is currently vacant
and unplatted. The subject property is located along Taylor Creek, parallel to US 441. The
applicant intends to develop the property to accommodate the proposed project known as the
Taylor Creek Fishing Village. This development is purported to contain a total of 229 dwelling
units consisting of a mix of residential uses along with commercial and Marina uses although it
is somewhat unclear as to the proposed mix of uses contemplated. There is a "bubble" map
interaction and overall plan of development.

Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment

Comprehensive Plan Analysis:
The City Council and Local Planning Agency are required to address certain uses in conjunction
with the Comprehensive Plan, which may be categorized as follows:
Ao Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policieso
This Large Scale Plan Amendment application speaks about a mixed-use development
but there is little data explaining and supporting this approach or justifying the request of
Multi-Family Residential for the entire parcel.
Objective 2: The City of Okeechobee will ensure that all new development is consistent
with the Future Land Use Element.
Policy 201:
The following land use designations are established for the purpose of
managing future growth:
(b) Multi-family Residential. Permitted uses include apartments,
duplexes, condominiums, single-family houses and public facilities.
Maximum density shall not exceed 10 units per acre. Where affordable
housing is provided in accordance with Housing Policy 1.6, the maximum
density for multi-family development shall be II units per acre.
As submitted, the application and supporting documentation is insufficient to support the
change from Single Family to Multi-Family. Given its proximity to Taylor Creek, the
Comprehensive Plan states that the City must protect environmentally sensitive areas
from high density development such as what can be built under the Multi-Family Future
Land Use category by the applicant. Because of the property's proximity to Taylor Creek,
Policy 7.2 of the Comprehensive Plan must be adhered to and the applicant hasn't given
supporting evidence of that. The inclusion of a Marina with 96 slips and a fuel dock has
also not been assessed with regard to this Policy.
Policy 702: The City shall continue to protect environmentally sensItlve areas from
development of a type and intensity which would disrupt their natural
functions.
B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities
Before this request can be approved, the City must consider the proposed realistic impact
on public facilities.
Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The subject
property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) who
provides this service to City residents. The below is the anticipated flow for the proposed
320 units is expected to be approximately 95,000 GPD. The existing capacity of the
3

surface and ground water supply plants are 6 MGD, with 2.5 MGD already committed to
use. As such, the OUA has an excess of 4.5 MGD. The OUA would have capacity to
serve the proposed development but recent approvals have not been considered in this
assessment of remaining water capacity.
Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gallons/
capita/day. The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility
Authority (OUA). The estimated wastewater flows for the subject property would be
95,000 GPD. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with
between 800,000 and 900,000 GPD already committed to use. As such, the OUA has a
minimum of 300,000 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. It
should be noted that the City has received several recent Plan Amendments counting on
future sewer plant expansion. A better analysis showing committed service needs to be
shown.
Solid Waste Disposal: The City has an adopted LOS of 13 lbs/capita/day and 3 years
available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would
generate approximately l2,350 lbs/day of solid waste. The applicant must provide a letter
from Okeechobee County determining whether the existing landfill will have capacity to
serve the proposed development.
Drainage/Stormwater Management: The adopted LOS for drainage is Design Storm,
25-yearl24 hour duration. The proposed development is required to meet all conditions
and standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the Florida Administrative Code.
Because of the vulnerability of Taylor Creek, there needs to be a more specific
delineation of the Best Management Practices used for water quality enhancement in
stormwater discharges.
Recreation and Open Space: The adopted LOS for recreation and open space is 3
acres/l,OOO persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's
population by approximately 950 additional people. The development would need
approximately 3 acres of recreational facilities in order to meet the adopted LOS for
parks. The applicant has stated that this would be met with the provision of on-site
facilities, but this doesn't seem completely consistent with the intent of the Recreation
and Open Space LOS Standards of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
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. In addition, Objective 9 of the
Traffic Circulation Element states:
Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall encourage efforts to curtail future Level of
Service Standard deterioration, particularly along US Highway 441 and
SR 70.

The subject property would be serviced by US 441. The applicant has provided a traffic
analysis which showed that traffic would be impacted by the proposed development. It
was estimated that the proposed land use would result in an increase of 666 daily trips
and 40 PM peak hour trips with 33 more trips in and 7 more trips out. This traffic study
is being examined but it does not seem that the traffic analysis has contemplated any of
the Commercial, Non-Residential or Marina impacts.
C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Useso
The proposed land use change to Multi-Family at ten dwelling units an acre for the entire
site is not compatible for this location. There has not been shown enough supporting data
to indicate that this level of density is needed for this site. If the true intent of future
development for this site equates to a Single Family density, then perhaps a new Future
Land Use category should be suggested.
Given the property's proximity to Taylor Creek, staff is concerned that development
might negatively impact this environmentally sensitive area. The Taylor Creek right-of-
way per recorded plat should be recognized as non-buildable. It is not clear who is being
asked to abandon the Taylor Creek right-of-way.
Future Land Use
Policy 2.3:
The City shall continue to require that all development proposals be
accompanied by an inventory of wetlands, soils posing severe limitation
to construction, unique habitat, City shall further require that the extent to
which any development or redevelopment is proposed to be placed in/on,
to disturb, or to alter the natural functions of any of these resources, be
identified. Such identification shall occur at a phase in the development
review process that provides the opportunity for the City to review the
proposed project to ensure that direct and irreversible impacts on the
identified resources are minimized, or in the extreme, mitigated. Where
development is determined to encroach upon a resource, the City shall
require a specific Management Plan to be prepared by the developer,
which results in no net loss of wetlands and which includes necessary
modifications to the proposed development, specific setback and buffers,
and clustering of development away from site resources, to ensure the
protection, preservation or natural functions of the resource. The
minimum buffer for wetlands shall be 25 feet and the average of all
setbacks from the wetland resource shall be 40 feet. Areas designated as
buffers shall preserve all natural vegetative cover, except where
drainageways and access paths are approved to cross the buffer. Buffers
may be supplemented only with native tress, shrubs and ground covers.

Policy 7.1:
The City shall continue to amend and enforce land development
regulations consistent with the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection's (FDEP) Best Management Practices referenced in Policy 1.4,
which will minimize the flow into Taylor Creek of organic nutrients,
pesticides, sediment, and other substances having the potential to degrade
water quality.
The applicant has done a brief Florida Land Use Cover & Classification Systems
(PLUCCS) analysis on this property but no Management Plan has been suggested to
ensure there is not a loss of wetlands. It would seem that there could be an enhancement
of some of these wetlands areas rather than just concluding that these areas are marginal.
Conservation Element
Policy 4.1:
Policy 501:
Through Future Land Use Policy 2.3 and implementing Land
Development Regulations, the City shall continue to conserve wetlands
and protect water quality in Taylor Creek from adverse impacts of
development.
The City shall enforce provisions in its Land Development Regulations to
ensure that new development, regardless of its location in the City, meets
the following conditions:
(a) does not degrade water quality in Taylor Creek;
(b) does not threaten groundwater quality, particularly III the
vicinity of municipal wells;
(c) preserves existing wetland areas;
(d) avoids the disturbance of natural drainage features; and
(e) preserves habitat for endangered and/or threatened wildlife
speCIes.
In examining the above Policies, there is not enough supporting evidence to indicate that
the wetlands and natural resource areas will be adequately protected. Also, there might
be measures to revitalize the wetland areas that haven't been suggested. Postponing the
addressing of this until Site Plan time isn't adequately responding to this issue and is
more prevalent in poorly planned conversion of rural properties, a characteristic of Urban
SprawL
Do Compliance with the Specific Standards of the Plan.
The Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended within the Comprehensive Plan,
do not support an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi-Family. The
proposal would be more consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan by following
Single Family densities.

Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
The existing Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies will not support Multi-Family
uses at this location. Therefore, it should be recommended that the City Council find the
application not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. If mixed-uses are warranted at this
property, perhaps a new Future Land Use category can be suggested that would provide
performance standards and allow development at a lower density.

Taylor Creek Water Quality Concerns
Main concerns with water quality
1- Existing water quality is low
*due to low dissolved oxygen content in the water
*non-point sources of pollution
*low current velocity
2- Project's impacts to water quality
*raise dissolved oxygen levels
*contain non-point sources of pollution from the local area
*model responsible stewardship for other local marinas
Discussion of existing water quality issues
Taylor Creek currently has poor water quality due mainly to dissolved oxygen levels
and from local pollution sources that can not easily be pinpointed (non-point sources
of pollution.) Oxygen enters the water through contact with the atmosphere (air) at
the surface and from microscopic algae and aquatic plants.
The wider the water body in respect to its depth, the greater the dissolved oxygen in
the water. If temperatures were the same, a wide shallow bay would have greater
dissolved oxygen (D.O.) than a narrow, deep creek. However, cooler water holds the
dissolved oxygen (D.O.) better than warm water, and therefore deeper depths that
remain cooler in the summer will have a greater capability of holding the dissolved
oxygen once it enters the deeper layers of cool water. Now that is a text book answer
to the situation, but that is not how it really works in nature. In Florida the summer
temperatures cause the deeper waters (over 8' deep) to become stratified with warm
water sitting on the top 3-5 feet and cooler water held to a layer just below the warm
one. It's called a thermocline. These two layers do not normally mix during the
summer (when D. O. issues are a problem) unless there is a drastic storm that causes a
current in the normally still waters. Therefore, in the summer, most of the canals
along Taylor Creek have very low oxygen content due to hot stagnant upper water not
being able to hold what little bit of oxygen there is, and the cooler lower depths are
not able to acquire the dissolved oxygen, because it's not able to mix with the upper
warm layer. So the canal remains deprived of oxygen throughout the warmer months.
At the same time, the rain storms that frequent the state wash in literal tons of
fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, dissolved metals, paint, petroleum products and best
of all septic tank effluent, into the canals. These collect and then wash down with the
low oxygen content in the water, where they empty into Taylor Creek. These are
called non-point sources of pollution. They add up quickly and cause lots of
problems. Petroleum cuts off any oxygen from the water's surface, and fertilizers
cause algae blooms that use up far more oxygen than they produce. The result is a
dead zone to all but alligator gar (which can breathe air) and a few catfish.
e
e
Discussion of the proiect's impacts to water Quality
The Taylor Creek Fishing Village has been carefully thought out for its potential negative
and positive impacts to the water quality of Taylor Creek. Innovative thinking has lead to
a systematic design which will actually improve the areas water quality.
Two canals currently exist on the property. One is a "dead end" canal that is
approximately 30' wide, T deep and about 600' long. It is stagnant; choked with water
lettuce and algae; and dumps directly into Taylor Creek. The second is a DOT drainage
easement that takes untreated runoff from an area west of 441 and channels it directly
into the creek. The proposed project will fill in the dead end canal and re-route the
drainage easement south along the east side of a large historic cypress slough. The
wetland area that contains the cypress slough is currently being cut off from surface
waters by the drainage canals berms. The project will channel the runoff of the DOT
canal into the cypress slough, where it will be re-hydrated and the waters will be filtered
naturally by the ecosystem in the sough. A weir at the end of the easement along Taylor
Creek will maintain proper water levels which will both maintain the dissolved oxygen
levels in the wetland runoff (high levels due to the natural mixing in the swamp) and
chemical impurities will be filtered out and metabolized by the microbes in the swamps
submerged soils.
The marina is designed to exceed the guidelines of the latest EP A marina standards. It is
cut from the uplands, so as to not take up the navigable channel. It's much longer than it
is wide, so it will mix easily with the low current of Taylor Creek. And as an innovative
twist, it has a wave attenuator that doubles as a scoop to actually draw the current from
Taylor Creek into the basin where the upper and lower water layers will mix and
oxygenate. Residues will not be allowed to accumulate in the basin either. This leads to
greater water quality. The added mixed surface area actually increases the D. O. levels of
the creek.
The pier and wave attenuator structures will not utilize any CCA treated lumber. The
entire structure including the seawalls will be made from concrete. In addition,
antifouling paint on boat bottoms (which leads to high copper levels in the water) and
live-a-boards) will be explicitly restricted from mooring at the facility. The marina
facility will be certified as part of the Clean Marina Program by the DEP and must meet
strict environmental guidelines to achieve this. Some of the examples of the criteria are a
pump out station for the facilities vessels, strict hazardous waste and petroleum
containment for the fueling docks, containment of the surrounding areas storm water
discharges, educational displays posted for the public, maintained trash facilities and the
design of the marina itself.
The project will also utilize the cities municipal sewer system. So the antiquated use of
septic systems near water bodies will not be an issue. Also, storm water will be captured
and treated in a self contained manmade lake. So non-point discharges of fertilizers will
not be a problem. The D. O. levels in the lake will be maintained year-round by a system
of aerial fountains that spray lake water high into the air and oxygenate it.

Proposed/Best Mana2:ement Practices
Possible Policy Recommendations
To improve the water quality of Taylor Creek, the City should investigate setting
limits as to the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus that can be discharged into the Creek
The City shall consider whether a high standard for water quality would require
new development stormwater treatment systems to be designed using a treatment train
approach, using multiple Best Management Practices in series, to ensure maximum
potential treatment of stormwater.
The City shall cooperate and coordinate with the St. Johns River Water
Management District and the South Florida Water Management District process for
purposes of suggesting improvements to the water quality of Taylor Creek.
The City shall begin the process of revaluating the transfer of development rights
to allow for broader use of this function as an effective planning tool.
The City, in order to protect surface water quality within its corporate limits and
beyond, shall consider adopting a numerical standard for nutrients and pollutants of
concern.
The City shall evaluate opportunities to implement Okeechobee Utility Authority
water quality treatment systems within the Taylor Creek area to improve the quality of
surface water discharges.
The quality of water to be discharged from new surface water management
systems shall be subject to Federal, State, Regional and Local permitting programs and
regulations that determine compliance with Federal, State and Local water quality
standards. Stormwater discharges from development must meet relevant water quality

and surface water management standards as set forth in Rules 62-4, 62-40, 62-302, 40E-

The City shall reqUIre all new developments to meet the provIsIOns of the
SFWMD Volume IV, Basis of Review for Surface Water Management and local
provisions pursuant to this Comprehensive Plan to protect surface water quality within
the City.
Grants and incentives should be sought for the development of surface water
quality treatment system retrofitting projects for old and/or new surface water
management systems that are not effectively managing water volume or flow, or
removing nutrients and other pollutants.
The City shall periodically review the Land Development Code to ensure all
codes are conducive to the implementation of such water quality Best Management
Practices.
The City shall reqUIre future developments to employ the provIsIOns of the
Florida Yards and Neighborhoods program.
The City shall reqUIre periodic updates of the current Well field Protection
Ordinance.
