Patty and Gary,
Please see attached staff report for 22-003-TRC. Also,we must disclose the following:
• The plans and other application materials for this site plan approval were prepared by MDO Engineering, and
specifically by engineer Marcos Y. Montes De Oca., PE.
• Morris-Depew Associates is currently engaged in a professional relationship with Glades County, actively
providing planning and zoning services to Glades County.
• Mr Montes De Oca is the Glades County Administrator and is a supervisor of our work for Glades County.
• We can assure the City of Okeechobee that our work for Glades County is entirely separate from the services we
provide to the City of Okeechobee and that neither professional relationship has any effect on the other.
• Regardless of the identity of any applicant or their associated consultant, our reviews are based solely on
applicable codes, standards, and professionally accepted planning practices.
I'm still working on the other two staff reports and will provide ASAP.
Thanks,
Ben
