Site Plan Review Application No. 22-002-TRC, to construct a 44-unit, multifamily residential development on 4.24 acres located at 309 NE 4th Street, Lots 1 through 12, Block 110 and 121, CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, PBS 1 and 5, PGS 10 and 5, Public Records of Okeechobee County. 1. City Planning Consultant Mr. Ben Smith of Morris-Depew Associates, Inc. briefly reviewed the Planning Staff Report. The subject site is located on two city blocks, separated by NE 4th Street, with each block proposed as a separate development phase. In addition to the 44 dwellings units, the Applicant is proposing storage facilities on both parcels, and a pool and office building on the southern parcel. Bev) revleurd F Regarding adequacy of public facilities, confirmation of water and wastewater will be needed from Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). Regarding solid waste disposal, site plans do not depict any onsite dumpster enclosures. tPIC?M& P. Burnette Handwritten Minutes, July 21, 2022, Page 1 of 9 V. NEW BUSINESS ITEM A CONTINUED These should be provided in appropriate locations which allow for access by Waste Management and provision of screening. The Applicant has provided a traffic analysis prepared by Mackenzie Engineering & Planning, Inc. which demonstrates available roadway capacity for 42 dwelling units. Though this is less than the 44 units that the Applicant is proposing, the traffic report is appropriate as 44 dwelling units exceeds the allowable density of the site. Regarding access and internal circulation, site plans for both parcels are designed with throughway access bisecting the middle of the blocks. This configuration is optimal as the access points are mid -block and ingress/egress is available on either roadway. Internal circulation of the residential component is sufficient. However, vehicular access areas are proposed on both parcels for the storage buildings which seem excessively wide (80 to 93 ft). These features reduce the landscape buffering and create an unorganized and potentially unsightly curb cut. Redesign of these features should be considered, as it out of place for a storage amenity that will be utilized only by the residents of this development. Sufficiency of fire truck access and egress needs to be addressed by the Fire Department. The plans depict one dedicated loading space for each parcel. However, only the absence of wheel stops seems to indicate that the area in front of these spaces should not be utilized for standard parking spaces. These areas in front of loading spaces should be marked with striping to denote `no parking' to ensure loading spaces are clearly evident. Loading spaces cannot be obstructed. P. Burnette Handwritten Minutes, July 21, 2022, Page 2 of 9 V. NEW BUSINESS ITEM A CONTINUED No dumpster enclosure is depicted on the site plans. The Applicant should demonstrate a proposed location for waste storage that will comply with Waste Management pickup standards. The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning code and is compatible with surrounding uses. Multifamily in this location provides a transition between high intensity commercial property to the West and the low density residential to the East; and should not be detrimental to the adjacent church properties. The development provides moderate density housing options in close proximity to US 441 corridor and downtown Okeechobee, which will provide support for the existing commercial in this area. The dimensional standards review appears to meet the requirements of the City's Land Development Regulations (LDR's) except for the following: commercial public use of the amenities cannot be permitted; plans depict 22 dwelling units on both parcels, though g' Northern parcel is only large enough for 20 dwelling units and Southern parcel is only large enough for 21 dwelling units; Northern parcel only provided with 20 ft setback from .�5 the 4tStreet property line instead of required 25 ft setback; plans do not demonstrate compliance with required secondary front yard setbacks for office and storage structures; minimum accessory structure setbacks are not in compliance; pool and pool deck permitted in setback only if height does not exceed 2 ft above grade; max lot coverage is listed as 21 % for both parcels but calculations should be provided to demonstrate the proposed lot coverage of each parcel separately; pool and pool deck must be included for the Southern parcel per 90-433; impervious surface is listed as a. 49% for both parcels but calculations should be provided to demonstrate the proposed impervious surface area of each parcel separately; pool and pool deck must be included `Ir for the Southern parcel; residential pool barrier requirement is not in compliance; asphalt millings proposed for parking facility, is not in compliance; area in front of loading spaces c� should be marked with striping to denote `no parking' to ensure loading spaces are ,., clearly evident and they cannot be obstructed; landscaping for parking and vehicular use areas requires at least 1 tree for each 72 square feet, (which is 14), and only 12 trees are provided around parking area for South parcel; landscape buffer areas, North �1 Parcel non -driveway frontage on NE 5th Street requires 9 trees and 27 shrubs, and only 8 trees and 17 shrubs were provided; on NE 4th Street requires 9 trees and 27 shrubs, only 5 trees and 19 shrubs were provided; South Parcel non -driveway frontage on NE 4th street requires 9 trees and 27 shrubs only 8 trees and 12 shrubs were provided, and on NE 3rd Street the requirement is 9 trees and 27 shrubs, whereas only 18 shrubs were provided; in the landscape buffer areas there was no grass, ground cover or other landscape material (such as mulch) indicated on the plans; diversification of species types were not indicated; notes on plans indicate that considerations will be made to protect the overhead utility lines from mature three growth, though no other information (including species type for selections under OHU lines) is provided; no shade trees are proposed around the parking area; no fencing proposed at this time although plans must demonstrate compliance with pool barrier requirements; and no connections provided from onsite pedestrian paths to ROW sidewalks.

The size of the buildings, and the fact that they are not sprinklered, will require a fire flow of 1750 gpm. This will require two hydrants, one at the north entrance and one at the south.
