Cassels, Jr. on behalf of Jose Rasco, CFO for property owners 15th Street Homes LLC and Montebello 13 LLC, Joint Ventures to change the Future Land Use Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF). Property is located between Southwest 6th Street and Southwest 15th Street and is approximately 63.78 acre(s). The proposed use is to construct a Planned Unit Development (PUD) of Residential Single Family and Multi-Family units maintaining a density equal to or less than Single Family designation - Planning Consultant. CHAIRPERSON LEDFERD OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:00 P. M. Consider Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07 -CII-001 submitted by John D. Cassels, Jr. on behalf of Jose Rasco, CFO for property owners 15th Street Homes LLC and Montebello 13 LLC, Joint Venture to change the Future Land Use Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF). Property is located between Southwest 6th Street and Southwest 15th Street and is approximately 63.78 acre(s). The proposed use is to construct a Planned Unit Development (PUD) of Residential Single Family and Multi-Family units maintaining a density equal to or less than Single Family designation. City Planner, Mr. Jim LaRue addressed the Board regarding Application No. 07-CII-001. He referred to the density of Multi- Family as being a major concern for the Planning Staff. Transportation concerns are also part of the density issue. He reported that the Planning Staff has asked for a report from South Florida Water Management (SFWM) regarding the conservation areas. Infrastructure is also an issue that Planning Staff will be working on with Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA). Buffering against the residential area would be addressed at site plan time. Mr. Mohsen Salehi, traffic analyst for LaRue Planning and Management, stated that there are two main arteries in the City, State Route (SR) 70 and US Highway 441 (Parrott Avenue). Based on Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) 2005 traffic data, for SR 70 to CSX crossing, Level Of Service (LOS) is F, and from CSX crossing East towards Northeast 18th is also showing a LOS - F. US 441 is also FOOT maintained and showing LOS - C. Generally FOOT is approximately a year behind. Within a month they will issue 2006 traffic data. This was based on two lanes for Hwy 441, not existing four lanes that are now in place. Ratings for LOS are A = free flow with individual users virtually unaffected by the presence of others in the traffic stream. Volume to capacity ratio of less than 0.60 and average travel speed of more than 30 miles per hour (mph). B = stable flow with a high degree of freedom to select speed and operating conditions but with some influence from other users. Volume to capacity ratio is 0.61 to 0.70 with an average travel speed of 24 to 29 mph. C = restricted flow which remains stable but with significant interactions with others in the traffic stream; the general level of comfort and convenience declines noticeably at this level. Volume to capacity ratio is 0.71 to 0.80 with an average travel speed of 18 to 23 mph. D = high density flow in which speed and freedom to maneuver are severely restricted and comfort and convenience have declined even though flow remains stable. Volume to capacity ratio is 0.81 to 0.90 with an average travel speed of 14 to 17 mph. 1 MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BoARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND ApPEALS - PAGE 3 OF 16 V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A. Consider Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07-CII-001 continued. E = unstable flow at or near capacity levels with poor levels of comfort and convenience. Volume to capacity ratio 0.91 to 1.00 with an average travel speed of 10 to 13 mph. F = forced flow in which the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount that can be served, and lines form, characterized by stop-and-go waves, poor travel times, low comfort and convenience, and increased accident exposure. Volume to capacity ratio is more than 1.00 with an average travel speed of less than 10 mph. Mr Salehi stated that approximately in one month there will be 2006 LOS codes available, which could impact this project findings. LaRue Planning Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the following requirements should be met: 1. The areas identified as regulated resources shall be incorporated as a Conservation Land Use category on the Future Land Use Map when amended. 2. Explanation of what is to be done with Wetlands. 3. The density of the Multi-Family category for this site should be limited to the current maximum Single-Family density of 255 dwelling units. 4. Transportation impacts shall be found not to degrade current LOS for affected roadways. 5. Confirmation of other available infrastructure should be confirmed. 6. Applicant needs to address the need for providing adequate open space recreation land. In conclusion, LaRue Planning Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the above requirements should be met. Board inquired as to the traffic impact on Southwest 15th Street? Mr. Salehi answered that the comprehensive plan requires LOS E for minor arterial's, this issue would be addressed at a later date. Technical direction will be handled at the zoning level, reported Mr. LaRue. Mr. John Cassels, Attorney for the owners, Jeff Sumner, Engineer with LBFH, Incorporated, Consulting Engineers, Surveyors and Mappers, and Jose Rasco property owner spoke on their behalf. Mr. Sumner described the project as submitted as a mix of attached and detached homes for people who have to work for a living. This will not be sub-standard housing. This would be an opportunity for people to live in a community who do not wish to care for yards, but want the benefit of having a yard. We have been very attentive for what will work in Okeechobee. Mr. Sumner reported that he has been in contact with the LaRue Planning Staff, Waste Management, concerning land fill, and confirming partnership with Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA), and the School Board. He also stated that they will deal with all impact fees and have reduced the density to Single Family levels. He explained the redesign to add a one and a half acre linear park on Southwest 9th Street, and said that this will not be a gated community. MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BoARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS - PAGE 4 F 3 I V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. I A. Consider Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Mr. Sumner then told about the environmentally sensitive areas of the project, and how with nature trails the project will meet Amendment Application No. 07 -CII-001 continued. the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. He also made the statement, that what you see is what you get. They will not present one plan and produce another. I Mr. Jose Rasco, property owner and CFO in charge of the development stated that his family had been around Okeechobee for 20 years, and has a working ranch on SR 70. The Lakehouse project has been in development for two years. Mr. Rasco stated that he wants to build a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) with a type of land plan that would cluster homes to protect open spaces. He reported that approximately 45% of the land has been set aside as open space. The project will be pedestrian friendly with sidewalks and will provide the residents with a 5,000 square foot club house under air conditioning, two swimming pools, and several lakes, most of the lakes being passive activity due to the eagles nest and restrictions by Fish and Wildlife, and the water management district. Old Florida or Cracker Style architecture was taken into consideration when developing this project. The mix of accommodations would be single family homes, town homes and rental villas or apartments. Also including in the project green building features, such as energy saving appliances. The prices would be starting in the mid $300,000.00 for the single family homes and mid $200,000.00 for the town homes. New home owners, retirees and existing Okeechobee residents would be the target residents. Mr. Rasco announced that he would provide his e-mail address for anyone wishing to contact him for further information. Mr. Sumner spoke regarding issue policy 2.3 of the Comprehensive Plan, which requires protection of environmentally sensitive lands and specifically no net loss of wetlands. Since the submission of the application in December the State permitting process for the mitigation plan has been complete and submitted to the Water Management District. He stated that the project does not yet have that permit, but have been through two rounds of reviews with the National Resource Management Division of Water Management District and have worked through all mitigation issues. Potable water supply and waste disposal have been addressed by letter from ~UA in the form of developers agreement. Mr. Sumner reported that Mr. Rasco was one of the original developers who stepped up to the plate and wrote a check to the ~UA for the plan expansion which will be completed in 2008. Mr. Sumner said that they have not yet received a letter from Jeff Saban of Waste Management. Mr. Saban did however, e-mail verification of adequate land fill available for this project, but a letter would be forth coming Recreation and open space have been addressed by reduction of building for a park and several smaller village greens, small parks scattered throughout the development. In the South side, out of the 50 acres there is a little over 23 acres dedicated to open space, that's 46%. In the North there is a little over five acres of the 13 dedicated to open space and recreation space. For the entire site there is approximately 45 % set aside for recreation area and or open space, which does not include the yards between the houses. Traffic will be addressed in the next level. Density was dropped back to the level that is currently allowed for the area. He stated that, that fact alone would satisfy the traffic impact. 1 MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BoARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND ApPEALS - PAGE 5 OF 16 V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A. Consider Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07-CII-001 continued. Board Members Burroughs inquired as to the location of the Eagles nest. Mr. Sumner answered that it is located in the middle of the project. There will be walkways and trails around the lakes, with restrictions for the nesting seasons. There is a 100 foot circle restriction that is part of the management plan. That's a protection for the eagle that the developer feels is warranted. Mr. Rasco stated that the project will be done in phases. The first phase is estimated to be single family homes with future development to be North from Southwest 15th Street. The rental apartments will probably be the last to develop. Mr. Cassels addressed the Board regarding Objective 8, policy 8.1 of the City Comprehensive Plan. Objective 8 says the City of Okeechobee will promote use of various and innovative land development techniques. Policy 8.1 says the City will amend its land development regulations to encourage development techniques which mix and distribute land uses to accomplish the following: A. Make the most efficient possible use of existing public facilities. B. Recognize and preserve distinctive natural features of the development site. C. Protect environmentally sensitive areas within the site. We request you change C to say The Lakehouse, because we feel that this project certainly addresses and furthers this Policy and Objective of the Comprehensive Plan. Chair Ledferd asked if there were any comments from the public. Mr. Rickie Blackwell, Southwest 24th Avenue, Sylvia Bandy, Southwest 10th Avenue, Deara Thompson, Southwest 5th Avenue, Billy Baugh, Southwest 5th Avenue, Ryla Black, Southwest th Avenue, Elizabeth Maxwell, Northwest 3' d Street, Scott Hunt, Southwest 15th Street, Brian King, Southwest 14th Court and Marvin Wherrel, Southwest 2nd Street all expressed concerns of the development regarding traffic, drainage, public facilities, and overcrowding. Vice Chair Hoover asked how this petition is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan when there are none in the area? Mr. LaRue remarked that a PUD is better for open space. Mr. LaRue instructed the Board that this was not a zoning issue, this is a Land Use issue. The zoning issue would be addressed at a later date. Board Member Maxwell replied that he would like to hold out for Single Family PUD. Board Member McCoy asked what the minimum lot size was for Single Family within a Single Family PUD? Mr. Brisson replied that the lot size is 40 X 100 or 4,000 square feet. Board Member O'Connor inquired if the City would have more control if the zoning were PUD versus Single Family? Mr. LaRue replied, yes. Board Member McCoy stated thatthis was a noble cause, however, it appears the Multi-Family line is drawn at Southwest 6th Street. Board Member Burroughs said there was a lot of talk about Multi-Family a year ago, several hundred units that were never developed. We need smart growth management. We, the City need to pay attention to resources. MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BoARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND ApPEALS - PAGE 6 0 1 5 I V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. I A.

This application was postponed from Apri/19, 2007 regular Meeting. Mr. Brisson, Senior Planner addressed the Board and stated that at the last regular Planning Board meeting almost all the facts pertaining to Application No. 07 -005-SSA were covered. This is the second half of the land to be developed. The first half to the East has been approved. For the most part, the applicant has supplied additional information as requested. All that remain are minor requests. Primarily we require a couple of letters. One on the utilities for OUA and one on Solid Waste Authority which Mr. Brisson believes are forth coming. The traffic is the other concern. In general, the findings of the traffic study, while there would be some increase in traffic the LOS now is sufficient. There would be an insignificant increase and as a result of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment it is fairly minimal. Mr. Mohsen Salehi reported based on SR 70 LOS - F, trips that trickle down from the development would be in the acceptable range. Based on limitation of roadways, we need to cautiously proceed with changing density. Chair Ledferd inquired if LOS - F is the worst rating. Mr. Salehi replied yes. 1 MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BoARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND ApPEALS - PAGE 7 OF 16 SOtl~I()N)V~ V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. B.

Mr. Dobbs further stated that the purpose for this Comprehensive Land Use Change is to provide affordable housing to teachers, nurses, etcetera. Board Member McCoy asked who would maintain the recreation area across the street from the development? Will it be donated to the County? Mr. Dobbs replied that the park would be donated to the City. Board Member McCoy stated that the City does not maintain parks. Mr. LaRue replied that they would deal with this issue. Vice Chair Hoover asked who requests that a signal warrant study be conducted upon site build-out and occupancy? This has just been done. Mr. Salehi stated that state looks at periodically.

Application will be forwarded in ordinance form for a final Public Hearing on June 5, 2007 before City Council. Consider Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07 -008-SSA submitted by Vikki Aaron on behalf of property owner Sheri Lachapelle. The application is to change the Future Land Use from Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF) for property located at 813 Southwest 2nd Street and is approximately 1.31 acres. The proposed use is to develop Multi-Family housing. Mr. LaRue reported that the property surrounding three sides of the requested property were zoned Multi-Family. Changing the land use on this piece of property to Multi-Family would open up the entire area to the West to Multi-Family. This would create a traffic concern. He stated that this would be more impact than needed for the City. This would not be opening up this property, it would be opening up the whole Western area of Single Family, therefore LaRue Planning Staff feels this application should not be approved. Chair Ledferd asked whether being surrounded by Multi-Family and leaving this zoned as Single Family spot zoning? Mr. LaRue replied, no. Board Member McCoy inquired as to the status of this property. Mr. LaRue said the property is vacant. Mr. LaRue stated that there needs to be some workshops this summer to draw lines in terms of what would be appropriate for Multi-Family. Vikki Aaron, on behalf of the applicant spoke, stating that the Board should seriously consider this application, due to this parcel no longer being as desirable as Single Family as in the past, due to the large development of Multi-Family to the South. She also reported that traffic will not be significantly impacted by the development of two duplexes. MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BoARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND ApPEALS - PAGE 9 OF 16 V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. D. Consider Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07-008-SSA continued. Board Member McCoy asked Mr. LaRue the maximum density of the property. He replied 13 for 1.3 acres. Chair Ledferd asked for confirmation of the number of duplexes that the applicant wanted to build on the property. Ms. Aaron answered, two, single story. Chair Ledferd asked whether anyone had any questions for Ms. Aarons. Mr. Larue stated for clarity that the property to the South that we are talking about the compatibility issue. The developers are not talking about possible Single Family density. This property is not currently zoned. Chair Ledferd inquired as to the density for Single Family on the 1.3 acres. Mr. LaRue replied six or seven homes. Board Member Burroughs asked about the piece of property to the West. Mr. LaRue said that the property was vacant. Vice Chair Hoover asked City Clerk Gamiotea the status of the property to the South? Ms. Gamiotea replied that the Small Scale Map Amendment is still under administrative review. The rezoning application is on pending status because they are requesting a PUD and the PUD regulations are being revised. They cannot submit for a final public hearing for rezoning until the PUD ordinance is addressed. They are waiting to see the final ordinance for the PUD Zoning before they finalize the Small Scale Map Amendment. Technically, neither the land use nor the rezoning has been finalized. She reported that is why the City map has not been changed to reflect the Multi-Family Land Use for this parcel to the South. Chair Ledferd asked whether Mr. LaRue's analysis was based somewhat on the pending Multi-Family to the South? Mr. LaRue answered yes. Board Member Maxwell stated in his opinion that in abundance of caution, given the Planners recommendation the fact that the applicant has not really made a case to carry the burden that it is consistent and warrants being changed that denial would be in order. Mr. Maxwell further reported that if there is concern over the outcome of neighboring property the applicant can always return. Mr. Maxwell said this project to the South does not seem to be a project that is on the front burner with the City. Chair Ledferd asked whether we should offer the applicant postponement? Board Member Maxwell stated that the Board has not seen a site plan. The maximum density could be 13 units, even thought it has been indicated that only two duplexes will be developed. He went on to say that if there will be a recommendation contrary to the Planner, that some documentation probably would be in order to support the Board. Board Member McCoy asked how the Agent for the Applicant felt about this recommendation to postpone? Ms. Aaron replied that postponement would be more acceptable that denial.

Mr. LaRue remarked that the parking for the crematorium would stand on its own. MAY 17, 2007 PLANNING BOARD/BoARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND ApPEALS - PAGE ~ ~1 ~ . I I QUASI-JUDICIAL I G.

LOR's Sec. 90-283 (2)) submitted by Carl Ferrero on behalf of property owner CR Investmen~ of Okeechobee, Incorporated. The subject property is located at 441 North Parrott Avenue and is approximately 0.49 acres, Mr. Brisson stated that LaRue Planning Staff recommends approval of Special Exception 07-005-SE. Board Member Burroughs asked where the ingress/egress would be for the car wash? Mr. Brisson reported that he has not seen a site plan. He would assume it would be from North Parrott Avenue. There is no frontage on the property to the street to the South. Chair Ledferd stated that could be an issue. The Industrial Park could pose an issue as well with traffic coming onto North Parrott Avenue from Northeast 9th Street, also with Walpole trucks coming onto North Parrott Avenue from Northwest 9th Street, not to mention a possible train. Mr. LaRue said that this issue would be addressed at the site plan review time with the Technical Review Committee. Chair Ledferd asked whether the Board or public had further comments. There were none. Vice Chair Hoover made a motion that the Board approve Petition No. 07 -005-SE based on LaRue Staff findings; seconded by Board Member McCoy.

VI.. NEW BUSINESS. A. Consider and discuss requests for amendments to the City's Land Chair Ledferd asked whether anyone had any new requests for amendments to the LOR's? There were none. Development Regulations - Chairperson. B. Consider and discuss proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) Mr. Brisson stated that a consensus of the PUD regulations were reached at the last regular meeting with the exception of regulations (ref. Code Book Sec. 90-401) - Planning Consultant two items. One were some additions and expansion of subjective conditions such as purpose and intent and submission requirements. Chair Ledferd asked about public safety. How does LaRue Planning view adding a bicycle path to PUD requirements? Actually, replied Mr. Brisson if you get a small PUD it probably would not be as applicable. Usually something like that could be added in the buffer area. I do not think this should be part of the requirements. Mr. Brisson said if the Board would feel as a consensus they would like to have this inserted, he could insert the language in the appropriate spot to incorporate bicycle paths as appropriate. Clerk Gamiotea sited from the Manual of Standards for Design Construction and Maintenance of the City Code Book a section that might address this issue of safety, therefore there is no need to Incorporate this Into the PUD regulations. Mr. Brisson expressed concern that the bike paths that Chair Ledferd was referring to were not the ones along side the roadways itself, as referred to in the Code Book. This could be incorporated into the ordinance, but it would be more subjective, it would not be written so strictly. He will examine and if it needs to be more specific, he will add it. Board Member O'Connor asked whether the addition of this would delay the ordinance going to City Council? Mr. Brisson stated that this would be a delay only if the Board required seeing the revisions. Board Member Maxwell remarked that he had requested conceptual to be more detailed, regarding elevations and building separations. He thought that an elevation drawing would be beneficial. Something he would like the Council to consider as a requirement. Also the process for review. He stated there may be some conflict with other ordinances that may need to be resolved, but he would suggest to the Council that be addressed in connection with the adoption of the ordinance, so that we know where this is going to go once it is submitted and that it is clear. Mr. LaRue interjected that before the ordinance gets to the City Council, Mr. Maxwell wants to make sure that the administrative procedure is clear. Mr. Brisson told the Board that he had sent an e-mail toMr.Maxwellsolicitinghiscomments.Mr. Maxwell had suggested landscape plans, elevation drawings, details concerning buffering between uses internal to the project. Mr. Brisson replied that he felt these are details that are usually worked out in the latter stages of the site plan review.

Code Book Sec. 90-401) continued. I Mr. Maxwell then said that raises another issue of what is the review process? Are we ever going to see the project again? Will we have an opportunity as a Planning Board to be a part of that or will it be gone. Chair Ledferd commented that if we don't make additions to the ordinance, this will be the last time we as a Board. Board Member Burroughs said that if we do not ask for these requirements, it will be gone? Mr. Maxwell sited that once the zoning is changed, the Board will not have another shot at it. Mr. Brisson explained that Mr. Maxwell is speaking of an actual conceptual plan review. Mr. Brisson concurred. If there is no significant change as submitted the Planning Board would not see it again. Mr. Maxwell then stated, that is the only time it is reviewed by this Board, we know for better or worse we will not have any further control over it. Chair Ledferd said that he thought if the Board pushed this ordinance as is with the administrative recommendations of Board Member Maxwell, that the Board could always recommend to City Council for additions or deletions to the ordinance. Mr. Cook agreed. Board member Burroughs stated that he was okay with LaRue making the administrative changes and sending to the Council with the comments from the Board. Chair Ledferd asked whether the public had any comments? Mr. Cardenas, Royal Architecture and Design, stated. requiring at the conceptual level, specification of architectural detail or what the elevation is going to look like, will tie a project down. This is too early in the moment to decide, when it is going to be reviewed at the site plan level, or architectural review board. Board Member Maxwell expressed his thoughts that a lot of times the Board receives the plans in the application packet and he just wants them to be binding, because this may be the last time the Board gets to see them.. Chair Ledferd asked whether there were any remaining questions from the Board or public. There were none. Board Member Maxwell made a motion, City Council receive and review the proposed PUD ordinance in the form that it was reviewed by the Planning Board on May 17,2007 and that the Council also consider the discussion contained in the minutes regarding possible bike paths, administrative review process, and the other items that were discussed but were unresolved and give some consideration to that in connection with their adoption of an ordinance; seconded by Board Member Burroughs.

Mr. LaRue stated that the Board should, in good comprehensive plan language, say anytime you do impact fees that are consistent with your Comprehensive Plan because that is the way you do alternative funding and it is necessary that it be done. This will be a County ordinance and the City would do a parallel ordinance as well. The Board will do a motion on consistency for the impact fee ordinance. Board Member Burroughs made a motion to find the impact fees compatible with the Comprehensive Plan as outlined by the Planning Consultant; seconded by Board Member O'Connor.

Clerk Gamiotea replied she did not know of anything in the five year capital improvement outlay. She stated that Large Scale Map Amendments may need their own meeting in the future. Board Member O'Connor remarked that the sound system is inadequate in the lobby, and people who cannot be in the Chambers cannot hear the comments. Clerk Gamiotea replied that she is working with the people who did the PA system to get a separate volume control. Mr. LaRue requested that the Board Vote by roll-call for land use changes and rezonings. Board Member Burroughs made a motion to vote by roll-call for land use and rezoning applications and petitions; seconded by Board Member O'Connor.

Consider Comprehensive Plan Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07 .CII.001. The application is being submitted by John D. Cassels, Jr. on behalf of Jose Rasco, CFO for property owners 15th Street Homes LLC and Montebello 13 LLC, Joint Venture. The application is to change the Future Land Use Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF). Property is located between Southwest 6th Street and Southwest 15th Street and is approximately 63.78 acre(s). The proposed use is to construct a Planned Unit Development (PUD) of Residential Single Family and Multi-Family units maintaining a density equal to or less than Single Family designation - Planning Consultant. Application to be forwarded in ordinance form to City Council for first reading on June 5,2007, final reading TBD by DCA. Analysis: In order to be approved, a large scale plan amendment must be found to be consistent with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, meet the requirements for concurrency with regard to the provision of public facilities and services, be compatible with the surrounding area, and be supported by adequate data and analysis. It is the Applicant's responsibility to provide commentary and substantiation that the above requirements have been met. A. Consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan: The Applicant has not as yet substantiated how the proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable Goal, Objectives and Policies of the City's Plan. The Staff does, however, offer the following comments. Future Land Use Element: Policy 2.1 (b): The requested change to the Multi-Family land use designation is consistent with the statement of criteria for this land use category, which reads as follows: "(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." The Applicant has stated in the transmittal letter that the requested amendment and zoning change are intended to allow clustering of a variety of types of housing on the property to address environmental considerations and not to increase the gross density. Yet, while the number of units and density proposed are less than that allowable under the requested Multi-Family land use category, the proposal increases density by 15% over that presently allowed. Staff sees no justification for increasing the number of units on the site beyond what is currently allowed under the Single-Family land use category (i.e., 255). Policy 2.3: The application partially meets the requirements of this policy in that it identifies the various required natural resources and environmentally sensitive components of the property listed in the Policy. While the Applicant appears to have taken the necessary steps to protect the eagle's nest, the Applicant identifies four wetland areas on the site, but preserves only three. It appears that the fourth wetland located in the northwest corner of the property is to be converted to a lake. This is not consistent with the requirement of Policy 2.3 that there be "no net loss of wetlands." The Applicant should show how the proposed design meets this requirement. The Applicant should also comment on how the other requirements of this policy and the intent of policy 7.2, which is similar in that it requires protection of environmentally sensitive areas from disruption of their natural functions, will be met in the development. Other Elements of the Comprehensive Plan: While there are other specific policies contained in the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element, and the Conservation Element that are applicable to this application, they relate primarily to environmental considerations that are expressed in Policy 2.3 of the Future Land Use Element discussed above. Other applicable policies in these and other elements of the Plan relate to concurrency. These are addressed in the following section of this review. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities: Before the large scale amendment can be approved, the impact of the proposed change and associated development on public facilities must be determined and found not to be adversely affecting the City's ability to continue to meet its level of service standards. While the Applicant has included some brief statements with regard to the provision of certain of the public facilities and services, specific analysis or confirmation of the capacity available to serve the proposed development has not been provided. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gallons/capita/day (gpcpd). The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA), which provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the proposed 294 units is expected to be about 90,000 gallons per day (gpd) [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 114 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. The existing capacity of the surface and ground water supply plants are _ million gallons per day (mgd), with _ mgd already committed to use (including all recent Plan amendments and development approvals). As such, the OUA has an excess of _ mgd and therefore has adequate capacity to serve the proposed development and maintain the City's adopted level of service. PAGE -3- Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gpcpd. The subject property is within the service area of the OUA. The wastewater flows for the proposed development are estimated at 103,000 gpd [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 130 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between and gpd already committed to use (including all recent Plan amendments and development approvals). As such, the OUA has a minimum of 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. Solid Waste Disposal: The City's adopted LOS is 13 pounds/capita/day and 3 years available landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would generate approximately 10,300 pounds/day of solid waste [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 13 pounds/day]. The applicant must provide a letter from Okeechobee County confirming that the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development. Recreation and Open Space: The City's adopted LOS for Recreation and Open Space is 3 acres/1 ,000 persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's population by about 794 persons [294 x 2.7 persons per household]. The development will need approximately 2.4 acres of land devoted to recreation and opens space in order to meet the adopted LOS for parks. The Applicant needs to specifically identify lands within its development that will be devoted to recreation and open space in a meaningful manner, or otherwise commit to in-lieu-of fees or direct site transfers as provided for in Policy 2.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element in order to comply with the City's LOS and fair-share cost provisions contained in Policy 5.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element. 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. The Applicant has provided a Drainage Statement explaining the Pre-Development condition and the Post-Development stormwater management system. 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 Applicant has submitted a traffic impact report prepared by LBFH for the proposed development. Traffic Analysis: There are still significant traffic issues to be addressed for this application. The listed requirements below have not been adequately addressed according to Staff's Transportation Consultant. These requirements must be met in order to establish that the LOS for the impacted roads in the City is not degraded by the proposed Plan Amendment. Further, the Plan Amendment must be consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies 7.1 (LOS Standards) and 7.2 (Concurrency Management System LOS). 1. AADT Service Volumes as presented in Table 4-1 are not acceptable. The adopted LOS for principal arterials remains as "C" and for other roads as "D" per Concurrency Management System, Sec. 74-5.1.f & Sec. 74-7 (6). 2. The existing roadways serving the site within 1 mile radius area of influence indicating lanage, functional classification, current LOS, and LOS standard. 3. The critical links and intersections within the 1 mile area of influence needs to be determined. Turn movement counts need to be adjusted. 4. Daily/PM Peak Trip generation for the maximum density allowed under the new land use designation minus the maximum density under the existing land use designation commensurate with the appropriate trip generation rates for each land use per ITE Report 7th Edition or Later. 5. Project traffic distribution to the links and intersections within the area of influence. As presented, the percentages do add up to 100%, but it is not clear on what basis. 6. Short Range/5 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 7. Long Range/10 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 8. The recently approved development (2006 and later) and other concurrent developments impacts such as Southern Trace and Blue Heron need to be included as future background traffic. 9. Needed improvements to meet concurrency at buildout per Sec. 7 4-8 (b). Please note that based on the 2005 traffic counts done by FDOT, all segments of US 441 and SR 70 within the City are at LOS F, except for the four lanes section of US 441 from SR 70 to CSX Crossing. Furthermore, it is our understanding that there are no proposed improvements scheduled prior to 2015 with the City (partially) except for four laning of US 441 from CSX Crossing to Cemetery Road. 10. The applicant's recommended off-site improvements, such as modified timings for intersections, needs to be approved by FOOT. Furthermore, even with modified timings, EB (AM & PM)/WB (PM) SR 70/US 441 (Parrott Ave.) indicate LOS F. PAGE -4- A. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses: The property is proposed to be developed in a PUD involving a variety housing types at a density of 4.6 dwelling units per acre. The areas surrounding the Lakehouse project are developed primarily in single-family uses at somewhat lower density than proposed for the Lakehouse project. Multi-family densities are frequently compatible with nearby single-family development. The most dense area of development, the area devoted to apartment homes, is located in the northern part of the property just west of the existing church. This area is also immediately adjacent to rear yards of the single family homes fronting on SW 10th Avenue. This are will need buffering to avoid potential negative impacts associated with the more dense multi-family area proposed in the Lakehouse project. Sensitive treatment should also be given to the single-family areas bordering the areas proposed for row homes which are also developed at higher net densities than the nearby single-family properties. Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the following requirements should be met: 1. The areas identified as regulated resources in Exhibit E shall be incorporated as a Conservation Land Use category on the Future Land Use Map when amended. 2. Need to be an explanation of what is to be done with Wetlands number one in Exhibit E. 3. The density of the Multi-Family category for this site should be limited to the current maximum Single-Family density of 255 dwelling units. 4. Transportation impacts shall be found not to degrade current LOS for affected roadways. 5. Confirmation of other available infrastructure should be confirmed as outlined above. 6. Applicant needs to address the need for providing adequate open space recreation land. In light of the issues that are listed above, Staff does not feel that adequate information is available in order to make a recommendation as to the request for a change in zoning to PUD. In addition, the site plan provided to the Staff is not of adequate size or detail to allow a complete review. The matter of the rezoning should be addressed after the review of the Large Scale Application (LSA) has been completed.

Consider Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 07-005.SSA submitted by Steve Dobbs, on behalf of property owner InSite Development Group. The application is to change the Future Land Use from Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF) for vacant property located between Northwest 5th and 7th Avenues and Northwest 11th and 13th Streets. Legal description: all of Blocks 11, 12,21 and 22, City of Okeechobee Subdivision, and is approximately 11.29 acre(s). This succeeds the 10 acre limitation as allowed for an area designated Rural Area of Critical Economic Concern. The proposed use is to construct a multi-family development - Planning Consultant. Application will be forwarded in ordinance form for a final Public Hearing on June 5, 2007 before City Council. Summary: The Applicant is proposing to amend the Future Land Use Map to allow multi-family uses on the subject property. Block 21 has four (4) lots which are developed with single family residences but the rest of the property (Blocks 11, 12, and 22) is vacant. The Applicant has submitted plans to the City for the development of the property, so some information within this Report will be based on facts submitted with the site plan review application. PAGE -5- Some initial concerns with the application are as follows: 1. Property address/directions to the property: The application should correctly identify the properties involved. 2. Parcel Identification Numbers: Exhibit A duplicates parcel identification numbers. For example, 3-15-37-35-0010-00210-0060 is listed twice, in line three and at the end of line four. 3. Current Zoning Designation: The Zoning Map shows Blocks 11, 12, 21, and 22 as all being zoned RSF-1 but the Applicant states the zoning is MF and SF. 4. Required Attachments (page 2 of 2 of the application): The survey submitted with the application is for Blocks 13 and 20, which are not part of this Small Scale Amendment application. A survey needs to be provided for the area encompassed by Blocks 11, 12, 21 and 22. LaRue Planning Staff would suggest that the Applicant modify the application and submit it to the City with the above corrections and required information. Analysis: A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. The Applicant is requesting to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single Family to Multi-Family. As prescribed by the Comprehensive Plan, specifically Policy 2.1 (b), permitted uses in the Multi-family Residential Future Land Use category include apartments, duplexes, condos, single family houses and public facilities. The maximum density is 10 units per acre. Thus, using the maximum density and the minimum lot requirements in the Land Development Code, the Applicant could develop these Blocks with approximately 113 units. Based on the application, the proposed use of multi-family development is consistent with the Multi-Family Residential Future Land Use category as described in the Comprehensive Plan. Multi-family dwelling units are the predominant land use in areas within this category. However, it is less clear that all of the Comprehensive Plan Policies are being met with this request. This is shown later in such areas as Infrastructure Level of Service (Roads) and Parks and Open Space. The applicant has provided additional information to clarify that applicable Objectives and Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan are being met, although Staff has identified in the following sections some needed clarifications and corrections that should be provided by the Applicant before the application and supporting documentation are provided to the City Council for consideration of adoption. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. According to the U.S. Census, the City of Okeechobee averages approximately 2.7 persons per household (pph). Thus, the development of this property could generate approximately 305 additional residents (2.7 pph x 113 diu). Roadways. The City's adopted Level Of Service Standard (LOSS) for local roads is Level Of Service (LOS) D. The subject property will be serviced by local roads. The Applicant has just presently submitted a revised traffic analysis and this analysis needs to be reviewed prior to any recommendation is made concerning possible degradation of Transportation Level Of Service (LOS). (Refer to Traffic Analysis comments, page 6.) Potable Water: The adopted (LOSS) for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The impact for the proposed development is as follows:113 units x 2.7 pph x 114 gpcpd = 34,781 gpd. Staff Notes that the applicant has incorrectly calculated demand for potable water associated with the development on page 6 of the application. These figures should be corrected prior to consideration of the application by the City Council. In addition, the applicant needs to update the discussion on pages 6 and 7 of the application relating to the timing of the completion of work on the wastewater treatment plan and should include with the application a letter of confirmation of outstanding available capacity from the Okeechobee utility Authority. Sanitary Sewer. The adopted (LOSS) for sanitary sewer is 130 gpcpd. The impact for the proposed development is as follows: 113 units x 2.7 pph x 130 gpcpd = 39,663 gpd. Staff notes that the applicant has incorrectly calculated demand for sanitary sewer treatment associated with the development on page 6 of the application and that these figures should be corrected prior to consideration of the application by the City Council. Solid Waste. The adopted (LOSS) for solid waste is 13Ibs/person/day. The impacts for the proposed development is as follows: 113 units x 2.7 pph x 13Ibs/person/day = 3,966 ppd. The Applicant has stated that representatives of the County Solid Waste Facility did provide confirmation that the landfill had a life of 50 years. But, the Applicant's analysis uses the adopted (LOSS) from Okeechobee County not the City's (LOSS). This analysis should be completed and a letter from Waste Management or the County should be provided to the City confirming the landfills ability to serve the proposed development. PAGE -6- The applicant did not correct this section on page 7 of its application and did not submit a letter from the County confirming adequate available capacity. While the Staff does not foresee a problem in the availability of landfill capacity, nevertheless, the applicant should modify its application by employing the correct (LOS) and providing a confirming letter from the County prior to consideration of the application by the City Council. Drainage. The proposed development will be required to meet all standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the South Florida Water Management District. Parks & Recreation. The adopted (LOSS) for parks and recreation is 3 acres/1 ,000 persons. Based on the estimated population, the minimum acreage requirement for parks and recreation would be approximately 0.915 acres. The Applicant has stated that this would be met by on-site facilities and provision of fair share contribution. However, upon review of the Applicant's proposed site plan, no such facilities have been provided. There has also been no mention of a fair-share contribution by the Applicant. Also, the estimate of 130 dwelling units is in conflict with the maximum of 113 dwelling units allowed under this submittal. The applicant has addressed the foregoing concern by offering to donate to the City a 0.84 acre parcel, located on the south side of Northwest 11th Street, for use as a city park. This parcel is identified on the aerial and the revised site plan provided at the end of this report. In addition, the site plan shows an area in each of blocks 12 and 21 designated as a proposed recreation area. Each area encompasses about 5,300 square feet. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land use will not create any adverse impacts on the surrounding property as nearby properties are Multi-Family to the South and the East. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies (as they are intended) would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi-Family Residential. This proposed multi-family development would be consistent with the uses allowed by the Multi-Family Residential category. Conclusion: The existing Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies will support Residential Multi-Family uses at this location if proper infrastructure planning is concurrent with this requested change. However, there are discrepancies within the Comprehensive Plan Policy impact analysis which must be addressed more clearly before a positive recommendation for this Future Land Use change can be granted: 1. Traffic Analysis: There are still significant traffic issues to be addressed for this application even though it is for a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment application. Because of the prior approval of the 10 acre Small Scale Amendment application, the total density is nearly 240 dwelling units and the traffic impact becomes that a Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The listed requirements below have not been adequately addressed according to Staff's Transportation Consultant. These requirements must be met in order to establish that the (LOS) for the impacted roads in the City are not degraded by the proposed Plan Amendment. Further, the Plan Amendment must be consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies 7.1 (LOS S) and 7.2 (Concurrency Management System (LOS)). 1.

The critical links and intersections withing the one mile area of influence. 3. Daily/PM Peak Trip generation for the maximum density allowed under the new land use designation minus the maximum density uner the existing land use designation commensurate with the appropriate trip generation rates for each land use per Institute of Taffic Engineers (ITE) Report seventh Edition or Later. 4. Project traffic distribution to the links and intersections within the area of influence. 5.

The concurrent developments impacts. 9. Needed improvements to meet concurrency at build out. 10. The applicant's funded off-site improvements. The Transportation Planner further states that the applicant's Transportation Impact Statement (TIS) is not consistent with the above 10 requirements. Furthermore, it is not clear why Northwest 9th and US 441 is analyzed and other links and intersections with two lane section of US 441 (North of CSX Railroad crossing) are more reasonable and Northwest 5th Avenue and its intersection with SR 70 as well as US 441/SR 70 intersection. 2. Pertaining to the Conservation Element, the Applicant states that the conversion to a Multi-Family Land Use Designation will allow development that will be more sensitive to the natural systems of the area. PAGE -7- Further, in the later "Analysis of primary indicators" section of the application, the Applicant states that adequate site design techniques will be employed to protect and conserve natural systems such as wetlands, native vegetation, etc. The Applicant further states in a subsequent section on "Natural Resource Protection" that there are no wetlands or areas of native vegetation, but that a full environmental assessment will be conducted of the entire property as part of any future development application. The Applicant has already submitted preliminary development plans for the first phase involving blocks 4, 13 and 20 of its project, which plans also included the development layout for the property involved in the SSA (blocks 11, 12, 21 and 22). The Applicant has not as yet submitted any environmental assessment for any of the properties, and neither the site plans nor the associated text refer to techniques intended to protect and conserve the natural areas or system. So far, all site plan submissions have been designed only to maximize density on the properties. The applicant has submitted letters from Environmental Services, Inc., the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Sout Florida Water Management District confirming that there are no jurisdictional wetland on the site. However, prior to site plan approval the applicant will need to verify the lack of valuable native trees or wildlife habitat that would be protected under the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A statement to this effect should be included under the natural Resource Protection heading on page 5 of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment application prior to consideration of the application by the City Council. 3. Recreation Element: The Applicant makes reference to objectives in the Okeechobee County Comprehensive Plan, not those of the City. However, the Applicant does state that, 'The proposed project can easily accommodate the recreation needs of its anticipated population through the provision of on-site facilities". However, preliminary site plans for the project, including both Phase I and Phase II (the portion of the project for which the Amendment is being requested) show no on-site recreational facilities. In a subsequent section of the submittal under the heading 'Parks and Recreation' the Applicant notes that "The project will be designed to provide residents with a variety of recreational facilities and open space to ensure the community's quality of life". So far, no plans submitted by the Applicant show such facilities. This section goes on to identify that based on 130 units and a population of 2.5 per unit, the estimated population of 325 people would require at least 0.975 acres for recreation and open space. The Applicant further states that this park and open space mandate will be met through on-site facilities and provisions of fair-share contribution. No such facilities have been shown on the most recently submitted plans and there has been no mention of a fair-share contribution by the Applicant. The estimate of 130 units is also inconsistent with the number of units cited in the section entitled 'Maximum Allowable Development', which indicates a possible maximum of just 113 units. The applicant has provided adequate recreation area to satisfy the demands of the proposed development as discussed on page 5 of this report. However, the applicant should modify the last paragraph on page 8 of the application to reflect the appropriate population per house how (2.7 rather than the indicated 2.5) and the resultant recreation/park requirement of 0.915 acres rather than the indicated 0.849 acres. 4. Pertaining to the Applicant's section 'Discouraging Urban Sprawl': Applicant's response to primary indicators of Urban Sprawl #13: The proposed change will not result in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space, "With the conversion to a Multi-Family Residential Future Land Use, 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". The most recent plans submitted by the Applicant show no evidence or provision of on-site recreational facilities. The applicant has addressed this concern in the preceding topic and as discussed on page 5 of this report. 5. Other comments: The applicant should modify the first paragraph on page 9 concerning Historical/Archeological Resources to refer to the letter received from the Division of Historical Resources and included in the application. Recommendation Assuming the applicant provides the information and abides by agreed commitments mentioned in the revised report and meets the transportation requirements, Staff recommends approval of this Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

Legal description: Lots 3 through 6 of Block 78, City of Okeechobee Subdivision and is approximately 0.64 acre(s). The proposed use is to remodel the existing residence for a medical office - Planning Consultant. Application will be forwarded in ordinance form for a final Public Hearing on June 5, 2007 before City Council. Summary: The applicant is proposing to amend the Future Land Use Map to allow commercial uses on the subject property. The property is developed with a vacant single family residence that the applicant is proposing to convert into a home health office. Analysis: A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. Based on the application, it would appear that the request is consistent with the Commercial Future Land Use Category as described in Objective 2 and its corresponding policies within in the Future Land Use Element. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. The subject property is already developed and has adequate public facilities. However, this will be reevaluated during the site plan review phase. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The requested Future Land Use designation will be compatible with adjacent land use categories. The proposed use will be consistent as the neighborhood has been slowly transitioning to incorporate light commercial uses as evidenced by recent land use and zoning changes to the east and south of the subject property. If approved, the future land use change should not lead to future encroachments into stabilized residential neighborhoods. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment is in compliance with the specific standards of the Comprehensive Plan. Conclusion: The existing Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and policies will support commercial uses at this location. LaRue Planing Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single Family to Commercial as the request is consistent with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan.

The application is to change the Future Land Use from Single Family (SF) to Multi-Family (MF) for property located at 813 Southwest 2nd Street and is approximately 1.31 acres. The proposed use is to develop Multi-Family housing - Planning Consultant Application will be forwarded in ordinance form for a final Public Hearing on June 5, 2007 before City Council. Summary: The subject property is currently classified as Single-Family on the FLUM. The Single-Family category only allows one Single-Family dwelling on each lot. The applicant is requesting Multi-Family Residential Future Land Use category which will allow apartments, duplexes, and single family homes on the property. The applicant is proposing to construct multi-family residences on the site. The subject property is within an area which has been recently undergoing some large re-designations to Multi-Family. Multi- Family is the Future Land Use designation to the North, South and West. However, there have been no studies presented showing a need for development other than single-family residential development at this location. There is also a compatibility concern for the large, Small Scale Future Land Use Amendment to the South (Altobello/Royal Concrete) which was changed to a Multi-Family Future Land Use category. Some discussions of possible development of that parcel at a single-family density have taken place with City Staff and the Developer. Analysis: A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. In examining the Multi-Family Future Land Use category the subject property presently would seem to be more consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single-Family Future Land Use classification and have development limited to single family residences. If this parcel were to be changed to Multi-Family, it seems to make it attractive for other properties to the West to anticipate that the Single-Family neighborhood is no longer a viable land use option B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities: The Utility Authority has sewer and water service availability for this site but the transportation impacts from nearby multi-family changes would seem to be substantial as the residential streets are not suitable for all of the planned multi-family development surrounding the subject property. Adding more multi-family units and their additional parking impacts without assessing recent changes, could compound future traffic problems because of the limited street capacity. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses: The existing neighborhood is for the most part vacant lands which seem to reflect a low level of residential intensity with multi-family development of conventional construction to the north of this property. Developing the subject property at a higher density than the Single Family category may allow or create adverse impacts on the surrounding roadway network. This request also could hinder any single family development on the surrounding properties to the West. Again, the parcel to the South is facing a possible noncompliance review and future development of that parcel may be limited to Single-Family density. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan: There is no evidence presented to show this property in terms of infrastructure capacity and compatibility would be best served by changing its Future Land Use classification to Multi-Family Residential. Conclusion: The request to change the Future Land Use designation for the subject property from Residential Single- Family to Residential Multi-Family should not be approved at this time based on the above information.

The petition is to change the zoning designation from Residential Single Family-One (RSF-1) to Commercial Professional Office (CPO) for property located at 608 Northeast 2nd Avenue. Legal description: Lots 3 through 6 of Block 78, City of Okeechobee Subdivision, and is approximately 0.64 acre(s). This petition is associated with Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use map Amendment Application 07-006-SSA. Application will be forwarded in ordinance form for a final Public Hearing on June 19, 2007 before City Council. Summary: The applicant is proposing to rezone the property to CPO to allow commercial uses on the subject property. The property is developed with a vacant single family residence that the applicant is proposing to convert into a home health office. Analysis: 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. The proposed zoning is not contrary to the general Comprehensive Plan requirements for properties classified as Commercial on the Future Land Use Map. Additionally, the requested zoning change to CPO would be most compatible with this specific neighborhood as there are already properties on this Block with the same zoning and being used in a similar way. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. The proposed use being applied for is authorized under the Zoning District in the Land Development Code. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. An office use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. 4. The use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. The CPO zoning and the proposed use as a home health office as requested by the applicant is appropriate for the location proposed. CPO zoning would be more compatible with adjacent land uses. Office use is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns and would be accommodated in the CPO District. 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. The proposed rezoning to CPO will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor will it be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent properties. 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. The office use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses if necessary. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. The proposed zoning will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. 10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. The proposed zoning change to CPO will not be granting a special privilege to the owner.

The petition is to change the zoning designation from Residential Single Family-One (RSF-1) to Residential Multi-Family (RMF) for property located at 813 Southwest 2nd Street and is approximately 1.31 acres. This petition is associated with Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application 07-008-SSA - Planning Consultant. Application will be forwarded in ordinance form for a final Public Hearing on June 19, 2007 before City Council. Summary: The subject property is vacant and is being proposed for multi-family development. The applicant is requesting to change the Zoning Map from RSF-1 to RMF. Analysis: 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. At this time, the applicant's request would be inconsistent with the intent of the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. (See responses below.) 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. The RMF Zoning District allows a variety of uses, including multi-family housing. However, the subject property would seem to be more consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single-Family Future Land Use category classification and have development limited to Single-Family residences. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. The existing neighborhood was meant to reflect a low level of residential intensity as shown on the Future Land Use Map. Changes to accommodate residential multi-family dwellings would be inconsistent with the existing pattern of the neighborhood to the West. This area, if allowed to be changed to RMF, would no doubt create more rezonings in the single-family area to the West of this property. 4. The use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. No, the use is not appropriate for the location until the applicant submits a traffic analysis of the impacts from the subject property and the adjacent properties which were amended and rezoned recently. It is also not known what the drainage impacts would be if this area was intensified to multi-family. 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. The proposed use could adversely affect living conditions of the adjacent properties and would adversely affect the stability of single-family development. 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. If granted, buffering would be determined during the site plan review phase. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. The zoning change for small acreage may not lead to a tremendous overburdening of infrastructure but if approved, it would lead to further erosion of single-family development and the impact of more conversions to multi-family could overburden the facilities. 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. Yes, traffic congestion could be a problem if zonings of this intensity are allowed to continue. It is not known what the impacts along Second Street would be if there are further allowances of multi-family uses in this area. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. No, the proposed use has not been inordinately burdened. 10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege. Conclusion: Based on the above information, it is recommended that this application for rezoning be deemed inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

FLORIDA Pre-Development The current drainage patterns on both the. 13:1: and 51:1: acre parcels is natural sheet flow to onsite wetlands and then sheet flow to offsite facilities via perimeter ditches and swales. The north parcel (13:1: acres) collects in the wetland on the north end and in the swales that surround it and ultimately reach the culvert that flows under SW 9th Street at the southwest comer of the parcel. There are ditches along both the east and west property boundaries that accept sheet flow from both onsite and off site sources to be transmitted to the downstream receiving waters. The south parcel (5H acres) similarly collects in the three wetlands that are throughout the property then nmoff via sheet flow to the south to reach the existing ditch along SW l5th Street. There is also a ditch along the western property boundary that collects sheet flow to transmit it to the ditch along SW 15th Street as well. Along the east property boundary there is no defined stormwater routing mechanism, but the proposed project does accept nmoff from the houses to the east of the property via sheet flow, wrnch ultimately flows south along with the onsite runoff. Post-Development The proposed project IS going to include a stormwatn management system (SWMS) to trull ilnd atTenuate the nmoffpnor to discharging (!<'\\'ll';tream Fach of the parcels wtlJ llpCr,ltc mdependcntly of The either to 1Il1fllll l'\ I~TJ:1g condition,;; The proposed SWMS will incorporate wet-detention ponds 10 provicle treatment and attenuation. The treatment volume will be the greater of 2.5" times the impervious area associated with basin or l" times the basin area. The bleeder structure that will slowly release the stormwater will be sized to discharge one-half inch per acre of contributing area per day. The attenuation proposed will be a compromise of the South Florida Water Management District's (SFWMD) criteria for the area (15.6 cubic feet per second per square mile (csm)) and an acceptable recovery of the system to receive additional nmoff from reoccurring storm events. The primary stormwater storage component of the SWMS will be the proposed wet- detention areas and the onsite wetlands that are intended for preservation, All of the runoff will be transmitted to the wet-detention areas by curb and gutter drainage along the roadways and ditch bottom inlets in swales for all of the open spaces. This development will reduce the currently overtaxed drainage in the area. This will be accomplished by providing attenuation for the 25 year 3 day storm event (design storm) and restricting all site discharge from events that produce less runoff than the design storm to the proposed control structures. This will reduce the volume of runoff at peak times allowing the downstream system to recover prior to receiving the bulk of the runoff from this site.

Trip Distribution and Assignment The overall distribution of trips into and away from the project site will be influenced by socio-economic conditions in the communities that surround the area. The conditions in the Okeechobee area are changing in the current climate of growth in the south Florida region. C\Documents and Settings\jdc.CASSELS.OOO\Local Settmgs\Temporary ]ntemet Files\OLKB2\TIA The Lakehouse 4 (2).doc IJafI1 Population density, job base, recreational amenities and travel time were utilized as factors impacting the final trip distribution estimate. While the population of Okeechobee County is relatively low, it is surrounded by areas where population is growing and the growth in these surrounding areas will be an influence on growth in the Okeechobee region.

Design Year Traffic C:\Documents and Settings\jdc,CASSELS,OOO\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKB2\TIA The Lakehouse 5 (2) doc ~11 The growth of traffic in the area was estimated by combining data from the FOOT Traffic Information 2005 data set along with recent trends in the area. Based on the data from FDOT, forecasts for traffic growth in the area for the next ten years is likely to be just under 2% per year. This same data package indicated growth over the past ten years to be just below 3% per year. . Although the past 4 years experienced growth at a slower rate, it was felt that a more conservative approach to the estimate should be made in order to ensure that low estimates are avoided. Consequently, a growth rate for the expected life of this project was selected at 2.5% per year. For the planning year of 2009, the daily traffic volumes for the roadway links were factored to reflect the anticipated growth. A 2.5% annual growth rate was applied along with a peak season factor in each instance. Table 3 details the anticipated growth in traffic of the adjacent roadways over the projected life of this project.

Capacity is typically given a letter designation from A to F denoting acceptable to unaccepta.ble. The Generalized Tables from FOOT are typically used as an initial basis for making a determination as to whether or not operating conditions will be acceptable under specific volumes of traffic. A copy of the section of the Generalized Tables used for this project is included as Exhibit 2. Table 3 includes a summary of the general level of service thresholds for the roadways in the vicinity of the project. The capacities listed for SR 70, US 441, and US 98 are Level of Service (LOS) C. The capacities for the remaining local roadways are LOS O. These service levels were obtained from the Okeechobee County Code of Ordinances. The segment of SR 70 east of Parrott Ave currently exceeds the assigned capacity threshold. SR 70 from SW 48th Ave to its intersection with US 98 is nearing the noted threshold and will exceed capacity if anticipated growth continues. According to the Okeechobee County Code of Ordinances, (5.00.02 - Applicability of level of service standards) SR 70 fmm CR 70A to US 98 and from NE 18th Ave to SR 710 is classified as a backlogged facility where the service level is "maintain and improve". '. The values provided in the generalized tables are derived from a specific set of operating conditions that could be expected to be used where traffic is operating at non-critical levels of service. Actual operating conditions are frequently different and a detailed arterial analysis may indicate that the roadway has an operating capacity above the limit given in the generalized tables. Roadway improvements FOOT currently has no immediate plans for major roadway improvements in this general area. A project has recently been completed on SR 70 that continued the four lane treatment to just west of US 98. There are long range plans being made for improvements to SR 70 in the region as an element of the intra-state highway program. No immediate improvement plans were found, however, within the area potentially impacted by this project. Committed Trips C:\Documents and Settingsljdc CASSELS.OOO\LocaCSettings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKB2\TlA The Lakehouse 7 (2).doc 12f1l. Traffic that is associated with approved projects that are not yet being constructed must be accounted for in the impact analysis for the design year. There are no projects that have been identified within the influence area of this proposed project that would have an impact that is not adequately addressed in the overall growth rate for traffic in the area. Project Traffic Volumes Traffic volumes from the project have been distributed to the roadway network in accord with information noted previously in this report. This distribution indicates that approximately 20% of the traffic will be destined for points to the north; about 22% to the west and north toward Brighton and Lake Placid; and the remainder to the east and south toward 81. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach Counties. Table 4 below summarizes the anticipated traffic from the project on the roadway links adjacent to the development site. Table 4 - Project Traffic Volumes '.

The link immediately east of Parrott Avenue shows failure as well as the link to the west of SR-98. With a failure based on the generalized tables, a more detailed arterial analysis is in order to determine a more precise estimate of the level of service being provided by area roadways. Roadway Link Analysis 2006 Analysis- Existing Conditions A traffic simulation network was developed to include the intersections along SR 70 from SR-98 to NE 10th Street. This network provides a basis for evaluating the capacity of the corridor based upon the signalized intersections within the corridor and the operating conditions that exist at the intersections. Current signal operating data was obtained from FOOT. With current operating data along with traffic volume data, an assessment of 'C:\Documents and Settings\jdc.CASSELS.OOO\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKB2\TlA The Lakehouse 9 (2).doc D!f11 current operating conditions can be made. Data obtained from FOOT is included in Exhibit 3. The operating parameters for the signalized intersections through the immediate area were input into the traffic simulation network and level of service parameters were calculated for the : existing traffic conditions. Current level of service calculations indicates that conditions, at present, are reasonably good in both travel directions. An increased amount of delay and a somewhat slower travel time is evident at the major intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue. The chart shown below summarizes both the morning and afternoon operating conditions for SR 70. The increased signal delay time and slow operating speeds at the intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue are evident during both peak traffic periods. The slower speed and higher delay to the eastbound travel direction is attributable to the very heavy volume of traffic turning left onto Parrott Avenue southbound from SR 70. The overall level of service, however, is within acceptable limits. A similar series of calculations was performed for th~ intersections along Parrott Avenue. The chart below summarizes the operating conditions currently being experienced along this roadw,ay segment. Current level of service on SR 70 through the area 'IS B in the morning and C in the afternoon. Parrott Avenue has level of service B during both the morning and afternoon peak traffic periods. Exhibit 4 contains details of this analysis. 2006 Analysis- With Project Added The same network was used and the project traffic was added to the volumes on the impacted links. The results are summarized in the charts included below. LOS numbers for eastbound SR 70 are impacted the greatest amount. This impact is due to the increased volume of traffic turning south onto Parrott Avenue. The chart below summarizes the impacts to Parrott Avenue. Conditions along Parrott Avenue remain at LOS B. Overall, the effect of adding the full impact of the proposed project to the roadway network under current conditions will have a relatively minor impact on traffic operating conditions. Exhibit 5 contains details of this analysis. C:\Documents and Settings\jdcCASSELSOOO\Local Setlings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKB2\TIA The l2kehouse 10 (2).doc ~11 2009 Analysis- Withput Project The analysis for 2009 conditions was performed only. for the afternoon peak period. The afternoon period is the critical period of the day for traffic in Okeechobee as well as other areas of South Florida. Summary operating condition charts are included below for the two corridors with traffic projected for the year 2009 used as the basis for analysis. Current signal operations were continued for this initial analysis. The information contained here indicates that operating conditions on roadways within the study area will be reduced slightly due to normal growth in traffic volumes that is expected over the time period noted. Conditions will remain at an acceptable level and congestion will remain to be a concern for the intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue. Exhibit 6 contains details of this analysis. 2009 Ana/ysis- With Project Traffic Added When project traffic is added to the 2009 projections and the operating results tabulated, there is little difference In,. the overall operating parameters. The results clearly indicate that the overall growth in traffic within the region will have a greater impact on operating conditions than will the proposed development project. Exhibit 7 contains details of this analysis. Conclusions The overall impact of the proposed project is minimal. This is due, in part, to the fact that the surrounding roadway network offers several potential points of ingress and egress from the site. Levels of service for some roadway links are likely to be above the adopted limits with or without this project. The project will consume only about 1.6% of the adopted level of service on the most heavily impacted roadway link. The intersection of SR 70 and Parrott Avenue will remain the critical intersection within the area. Congestion is being experienced at this C:\Documents and SettingsljdcCASSELSOOO\LocaJ Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKB2\TIA The Lakehouse 11 (2) doc I!:lEI1 location at the current time due to the high volume of turning vehicles at the intersection and the limitation of space for additional turn lanes. This situation will continue to b~ a concern into the future as traffic volumes increase. Surface streets that will be impacted include 15th Street; 9th Street; 6th Street; 11 th Avenue and 5th Avenue. The volumes of traffic entering and exiting these streets, however, from the project are not at a level that will require turn lanes. Recommendations '.

The subject property is currently vacant and contains four identified wetland areas and an eagle's nest. The development is proposed to contain a total of 294 dwelling units as shown in the conceptual site plan included with application (Exhibit A.3) and to be developed over a four-year period. Comprehensive Plan Analysis In order to be approved, a large scale plan amendment must be found to be consistent with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, meet the requirements for concur- rency with regard to the provision of public facilities and services, be compatible with the sur- rounding area, and be supported by adequate data and analysis. It is the Applicant's responsi- bility to provide commentary and substantiation that the above requirements have been met. A. Consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan The Applicant has not as yet substantiated how the proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable Goal, Objectives and Policies of the City's Plan. The Staff does, however, offer the following comments. Future Land Use Element Policy 2.1 (b): The requested change to the Multi-Family land use designation is consis- tent with the statement of criteria for this land use category, which reads as follows: "(b) Multi-family Residential. Permitted uses include apartments, duplexes, condominiums, single-family houses and public facilities. Maximum density shall not exceed I 0 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." The Applicant has stated in the transmittal letter that the requested amendment and zoning change are intended to allow clustering of a variety of types of housing on the property to address environmental considerations and not to increase the gross density. Yet, while the number of units and density proposed are less than that allowable under the requested Multi-Family land use category, the proposal increases density by 15% over that presently allowed. Staff sees no justification for increasing the number of units on the site beyond what is currently allowed under the Single-Family land use category (i.e., 255). 8 Staff Report Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: 15th Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC Petition No. : 07 -CII-001 Policy 2.3: The application partially meets the requirements of this policy in that it identifies the various required natural resources and environmentally sen- sitive components of the property listed in the Policy. While the Applicant appears to have taken the necessary steps to protect the eagle's nest, the Applicant identifies four wetland areas on the site, but preserves only three. It appears that the fourth wetland located in the northwest corner of the property is to be converted to a lake. This is not consistent with the requirement of Policy 2.3 that there be "no net loss of wetlands." The Applicant should show how the proposed design meets this requirement. The Applicant should also comment on how the other requirements of this policy and the intent of policy 7.2, which is similar in that it requires protection of environmentally sensitive areas from disruption of their natural functions, will be met in the development. Other Elements of the Comprehensive Plan While there are other specific policies contained in the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drain- age, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element, and the Conservation Element that are applicable to this application, they relate primarily to environmental con- siderations that are expressed in Policy 2.3 of the Future Land Use Element discussed above. Other applicable policies in these and other elements of the Plan relate to concur- rency. These are addressed in the following section of this review. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities Before the large scale amendment can be approved, the impact of the proposed change and associated development on public facilities must be determined and found not to be adversely affecting the City's ability to continue to meet its level of service standards. While the Applicant has included some brief statements with regard to the provision of certain of the public facilities and services, specific analysis or confirmation of the capacity available to serve the proposed development has not been provided. Potable Water Supply: The adopted LOS for potable water is 114 gallons/capita/day (gpcpd). The subject property is within the service area of the Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA), which provides this service to City residents. The anticipated flow for the proposed 294 units is expected to be about 90,000 gallons per day (gpd) [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 114 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. The existing capacity of the surface and ground water supply plants are _ million gallons per day (mgd), with _ mgd already committed to use (including all recent Plan amend- ments and development approvals). As such, the OUA has an excess of _ mgd and 9 Staff Report Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: 15th Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC Petition No. : 07 -CII-001 therefore has adequate capacity to serve the proposed development and maintain the City's adopted level of service. Wastewater Disposal: The adopted LOS for wastewater disposal is 130 gpcpd. The sub- ject property is within the service area of the OUA. The wastewater flows for the proposed development are estimated at 103,000 gpd [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 130 gpcpd]. The Applicant needs to complete the analysis in a format similar to the following in order to substantiate that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed development. The Applicant should also include a letter from the OUA confirming the analysis and conclusion. The existing capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is 1.2 MGD, with between and gpd already committed to use (including all recent Plan amendments and development approvals). As such, the OUA has a minimum of 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. Solid Waste Disposal: The City's adopted LOS is 13 pounds/capita/day and 3 years avail- able landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. The proposed development would generate approximately 10,300 pounds/day of solid waste [294 x 2.7 persons per household x 13 pounds/day]. The applicant must provide a letter from Okeechobee County confirming that the existing landfill will have capacity to serve the proposed development. Recreation and Open Space: The City's adopted LOS for Recreation and Open Space is 3 acres/1 ,000 persons. The proposed development is projected to increase the City's popu- lation by about 794 persons [294 x 2.7 persons per household]. The development will need approximately 2.4 acres of land devoted to recreation and opens space in order to meet the adopted LOS for parks. The Applicant needs to specifically identify lands within its development that will be devoted to recreation and open space in a meaningful manner, or otherwise commit to in- lieu-of fees or direct site transfers as provided for in Policy 2.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element in order to comply with the City's LOS and fair-share cost provisions con- tained in Policy 5.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element. DrainagelStormwater 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. The Applicant has provided a Drainage Statement explaining the Pre-Development condition and the Post-Development stormwater management system. 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. 10 .......- Staff Report Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: 15th Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC Petition No. : 07-CII-001 The Applicant has submitted a traffic impact report prepared by LBFH for the proposed development. 1. Traffic Analysis: There are still significant traffic issues to be addressed for this application. The listed requirements below have not been adequately addressed according to Staff's Transportation Consultant. These requirements must be met in order to establish that the LOS for the impacted roads in the City is not degraded by the proposed Plan Amendment. Further, the Plan Amendment must be consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies 7.1 (LOS Standards) and 7.2 (Concurrency Management System LOS). 1. AADT Service Volumes as presented in Table 4-1 are not acceptable. The adopted LOS for principal arterials remains as "C" and for other roads as "0" per Concurrency Management System, Sec. 74-5.1.f & Sec. 74-7 (6). 2. The existing roadways serving the site within 1 mile radius area of influence indicating lanage, functional classification, current LOS, and LOS standard. 3. The critical links and intersections within the 1 mile area of influence needs to be determined. Turn movement counts need to be adjusted. 4. Daily/PM Peak Trip generation for the maximum density allowed under the new land use designation minus the maximum density under the existing land use designation commensurate with the appropriate trip generation rates for each land use per ITE Report 7'h Edition or Later. 5. Project traffic distribution to the links and intersections within the area of influence. As presented, the percentages do add up to 100%, but it is not clear on what basis. 6. Short Rangel5 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FOOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 7. Long Range/1 0 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FDOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 8. The recently approved development (2006 and later) and other concurrent developments impacts such as Southern Trace and Blue Heron need to be included as future background traffic. 9. Needed improvements to meet concurrency at buildout per Sec. 74-8 (b). Please note that based on the 2005 traffic counts done by FOOT, all segments of US 441 and SR 70 within the City are at LOS F, except for the 4 lanes section of US 441 from SR 70 to CSX Crossing. Furthermore, it is our understanding that there are no proposed improvements scheduled prior to 2015 with the City (partially) except for four laning of US 441 from CSX Crossing to Cemetery Road. 10. The applicant's recommended off-site improvements, such as modified timings for intersections, needs to be approved by FDOT. Furthermore, even with modified timings, EB (AM & PM)/WB (PM) SR 70/US 441 (Parrott Ave.) indicate LOS F. B. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses The property is proposed to be developed in a PUD involving a variety housing types at a density of 4.6 dwelling units per acre. The areas surrounding the Lakehouse project are 11 Staff Report Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: 15th Street Homes LLC/Montebello 13 LLC Petition No. : 07-CII-001 developed primarily in single-family uses at somewhat lower density than proposed for the Lakehouse project. Multi-family densities are frequently compatible with nearby single- family development. The most dense area of development, the area devoted to apartment homes, is located in the northern part of the property just west of the existing church. This area is also immediately adjacent to rear yards of the single family homes fronting on SW 1 oth Avenue. This are will need buffering to avoid potential negative impacts associated with the more dense multi-family area proposed in the Lakehouse project. Sensitive treat- ment should also be given to the single-family areas bordering the areas proposed for row homes which are also developed at higher net densities than the nearby single-family properties. Conclusions - Staff wishes to point out that in order for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be recommended consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the following requirements should be met: 1. The areas identified as regulated resources in Exhibit E shall be incorporated as a Conservation Land Use category on the Future Land Use Map when amended. 2. Need to be an explanation of what is to be done with Wetlands number one in Exhibit E. 3. The density of the Multi-Family category for this site should be limited to the current maximum Single-Family density of255 dwelling units. 4. Transportation impacts shall be found not to degrade current LOS for affected roadways. 5. Confirmation of other available infrastructure should be confirmed as outlined above. 6. Applicant needs to address the need for providing adequate open space recreation land. In light of the issues that are listed above, Staff does not feel that adequate information is available in order to make a recommendation as to the request for a change in zoning to PUD. In addition, the site plan provided to the Staff is not of adequate size or detail to allow a complete review. The matter of the rezoning should be addressed after the review of the LSA has been completed, Submitted by: James G.

Proiect Description: The referenced project is a 11.29 acre +/- site located in The City ofOkeechobee; west of Highway 441 N,just south of the City Limits Ditch between NW 5th and 7tl1 Avenues and NW 11th and 13th Streets. II. Soil ConditionsfT orography: According to the USDA Soil Survey of Okeechobee County, the site is made up of only one soil classification that is Immokalee Fine Sand. In natural conditions, Immokalee Fine is described as smooth slopes that are slightly concave or convex and range from 0 to 2% slope and poorly drained sand with a depth to water table of 0.5 to 1.5 feet from June to September and below 1.5 to 3.5 feet for the remainder of the year. Historic improvements in the general vicinity include single family residences to the east, commercial property to the north, multifamily and agricultural to the west and a FDOT maintenance yard to the south. Just to the north of this parcel is the City line ditch that drains to the east into Taylor Creek that is maintained at elevation 13.5. The bottom elevation of the City Line Ditch is approximately 17.0 which remains dry after rain events while the average elevation of this parcel is approximately 28.0. We have obtained soil borings to determine depth to water table and hydraulic conductivity rates. The soil conditions contained in the report are very similar to the above stated Soil Survey information. ill. Existing Drainage: The site currently drains to City Line Ditch via direct sheet-flow and via existing ditches. These ditches are in the City Right of Way on all sides of these parcels and drain throught the adjacent ditches to the north into the City Line Ditch. IV. Proposed Drainage: The proposed drainage system will be designed to meet all of the applicable water quality and discharge rate requirements of the City of Okeechobee and the South Florida Water Management District. These requirements will be met by a combination of wet and/or dry detention areas designed to meet these requirements. The design of this storm-water management system will be typical for project's of this type, in this area of the State. The Okeechobee Utility Authority is currently permitted to treat 1.232 MGD or wastewater at their current facility; however, while the plant is permitted they are currently in the construction phase of additional filters which will bring the wastewater treatment plant to that capacity of 1.23 mgd. This work should be completed by June 2006. The current capacity of the plant is used up as the current plant is permitted for 1.0 MGD and the average daily flow is approximately 0.89 MGD and they currently have 0.1 MGD of Executed Developer agreements. This portion of the plant has no exCess capacity, but once the expansion as described above is complete, there will be sufficient capacity to serve this project. Additionally, the wastewater treatment plant is under a design/permitting phase for an expansion of3.0 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 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. Water Sewer Plant Capacity 6.00 mgd 1.232 mgd A vg. Daily Flow 1.93 mgd 0.890 mgd Committed Capacity 0,25 mgd 0.100 mgd Excess Capacity 3.82 mgd 0.242 mdg Based upon these figures, the Okeechobee Utility Authority will have on or before December 2006 adequate capacity to serve the proposed demand created by the increased density of the proposed future land use amendment. 1. Proiect Description: The referenced project is a 11.29 acre +/- site located in The City of Okeechobee; west of Highway 441 N,just south of the City Limits Ditch between NW 5th and 7th Avenues and NW 11 th and 13th Streets. ll. Description of Available Utilities: Potable water and sewer service will be provided to the site by Okeechobee Utility Authority. There is an existing gravity sewer collection system with a liftstation in the area that have to be extended to provide service to this project. The sewer liftstation will require an additional pump to provide adequate service once this project is added to the system. There are watermains that run through this project that will again have to be extended to provide service to this proect ill. Proposed Utility Construction: The proposed site improvements will require extension of water and sewer services onsite. The water main extensions will be sized to provide adequate fire suppression flow throughout the site. A gravity sewer connection will be all that is required since the liftstation is already in place and with the addition of a pump will have adequate capacity to serve this project. The utilities will be placed in the road right of ways which will provide access to these proposed utilities for operation and maintenance by Okeechobee Utility Authority. The system will be designed to meet the requirements of the Okeechobee Utility Authority and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. IV. Required Capacity Based on Okeechobee Utility Authority's policy of250 gallons per ERe, this project would require 111 ERCs or 27, 750 gallons per day. V. 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.

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 (EOe) 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, east of the project site, is the closest evacuation route. Additionally, SR-70, approximately 2 miles to the south 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 Page 9 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Stormwater Management The project is located in the City of Okeechobee and FEMA FIRM Panels do not include the City of Okeechobee, however, this site is adjacent to the City Limits Ditch to the north that has a bottom elevation of 17.0 NGVD and discharges in to Taylor Creek to the east, which is controlled at elevation 13.5 NGVD. There are currently no known flooding or erosion control problems associated with the project site. No 1 DO-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. 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. 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 minimized by on-site detention within the stormwater management system. 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, 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. 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.AC. The City's adopted level of service standard for recreation and parks is 3 acres per 1,000 people, Based on the estimated population of 325 people (130 units x 2,5 ppd), the project's minimum acreage requirement for recreation and park space is approxmately 0.975 acres, The project will meet the park and open space mandates through on-site facilites and provision of fair-share contribution, The planned system of parks and open spaces is consistent with the City of Okeechobee's Comprehensive Plan, Page 8 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential 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 J.une 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 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, 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 The nearest police station is located at 55 SE 3rd Avenue, 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 immediately adjacent to other land designated for urban development, is within the public service area, and is approximately 3 miles from the site. Fire The nearest fire station is located at 55 SE 3rd Avenue. 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 immediately adjacent to other land designated for urban development, is within the public service area, and is approximately 3 miles from the site. Solid Waste The Okeechobee County solid waste level of service is 4.1 pounds per capita per day and a three year availability of landfill capacity. Given the 100 maximum number of potential units with 2.5 person per dwelling, the maximum demand for the project would be approximately 1,025 punds per day. Okeechobee County operates the regional solid waste landfill. A letter from the solid waste service provider, Waste Management, pertaining to solid waste service was not available. However, confirmation was provided by Joe Fazula, Solid Waste Manager, that 50 years capacity is available. Consequently, the existing landfill has surplus capacity in excess of three years. Page 7 ----..-- - -.. ---.-.....-..-, --- Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residenti~1 to Multi-Family Residential 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 in 2007 with final adoption expected by mid-2007. 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 statutes. As the local government application for site plan approval is not expected to be submitted untillate-2007, with approval granted in early-2008, 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 late-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 SW 5th Avenue and is approximately 2 miles from the site. The closest middle school is Yearling Middle located at 925 NW 23rd Lane and is approximately 2 miles from the site. The closest high school, Okeechobee High, is located at 2800 N.W. Highway 441 North and is approximately 2 miles from the site.. The closest Freshman Campus is located at 610 SW 2nd Avenue and is approximately 2 miles from the site. 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. Existing Conditions Under the current Single-Family Residential future land use, the property would be served by a central Water and Sewer System. Proposed Conditions The following is an analysis of the water and wastewater flows for the property with the proposed future land use designation allowing up to 4 units per acre. The analysis is based upon maximum development scenario of 130 units. The estimated water and wastewater flows are as follows: Use Measure Rate Gallons per day Multi Family 118 units 114 GPD - water 13,452 water Residential 130 GPD - sewer 15,340 sewer *Reference: HRS 10D-6 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 Page 6 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi~Family Residential Encroachment of Incompatible development As the City of Okeechobee experiences development, a mix of uses has evolved such as residential, hotels, restaurants, and service businesses, 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. This project will bring to fruition many failed attempts to bring housing to this area. The subject site is bound on the west by a cattle stockyard with an Agricultural future land use designation, to the south by a DOT maintenance yard with a Public future land use designation, to the east by undeveloped land with a Multi-Family Residential future land use designation and to the north by undeveloped land with a Single-Family Residential future land use designation. Given the adjacent existing and future land uses, the proposed request for Multi-Family Residential future land use will not result in the encroachment of incompatible development but will actually complement the existing and planned uses and provide a balanced mix of uses in a well planned development. Natural resource protection The site is currently devoid of native vegetation or wetlands. A full environmental assessment will be conducted for the entire property as part of any future development application. Adequate Public Facilities Analvsis The following analysis demonstrates that adequate facilities are present or planned to accommodate the incremental demand that may be generated by the proposed future land use. The analysis determines the net incremental demand from a worst-case development scenario of the existing and proposed Mure land use categories, The net demand is then compared to the existing and planned capacity. The current demand from the existing future land use is assumed to be addressed within the background growth assumptions of the City's local concurrency management system and the long term planning horizon of the capital Improvement Element. The later analysis has previously been determined by the Department of Community Affairs to be internally consistent based upon the current future land use maps. Transportation Please refer to the enclosed traffic statement. 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. Page 5 InSite Development, llC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Okeechobee County designated the soil in this area as not productive for Agriculture. 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. 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 pattems 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, stormwater 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 is within the public facility service area, 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 adjacent to other lands within the City of Okeechobee with a Multi-Family Residential future land use designation and thereby maintains clear separation between urban and rural uses. 10. Discourages or inhibits infill development or the redevelopment of existing neighborhoods and communities, This project is infill of existing lands designated for housing and only looks to increase the density allowed by changing the Future Land Use Classification from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential. 11. Fails to encourage an attractive and functional mix of uses. The proposed site being adjacent to other lands designated Multi-Family Residential, Public and Single- Family Residential allows 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 Multi-Family Residential future land use, 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, Page 4 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential 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 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL district. which allows 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 Multi-Family Residential will actually increase densities within the urban area of the City in close proximity to the urban center while also ensuring a balanced mix of uses and their intended benefits. 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 Multi-Family Residential will actually increase densities within the City in close proximity to the urban center. The proposed request is also adjacent to an existing designation of Multi-Family 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 Multi-Family Residential future land use will not result in the premature or poorly planned conversion of undeveloped 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 amendment is within a future land use of Single-Family Residential and will not impact agricultural operations to the west. From the SCS Soil Survey of Page 3 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Objective 1 - The City determine availability of service capacity based on the minimum level of service and the demand generated by development. Please refer to Sanitary Sewer and Potable Water and the Drainage statement prepared by Rudd Jones, P. E. & Associates for compliance with this objective. Conservation Element Goal- The City is committed to conserve, protect, and appropriately manage the natural resources to promote the highest environmental Conversion to the Multi-Family Residential designation will allow for a development program to be brought forward that will be sensitive to natural systems of the area. Recreation Element Objective R.1 - Requires that recreation facilities meet the existing and future needs of the County's population through the planning period. Please refer to the Adequate Public Facilities Analysis section of this report for a specific analysis of the additional demand for public facilities caused by this request. Objective R.2 - Requires the County to coordinate with the private sector to provide recreational facilities. The proposed project can easily accommodate the recreation needs of its anticipated population through the provision of on-site facilties. In addition, through a fair-share cost basis, the proposed project, at time of development application, can also provide for its required recreation needs. Compliance with State Growth ManaQement 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's 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. The proposed future land use must also 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 govemment'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)(j) 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. Page 2 InSite Development, llC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Compliance with Okeechobee County Comprehensive Plan The proposed amendment is consistent with the following objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan which are relevant to the subject request. 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 Objective 1 - The location of future development in the City of Okeechobee shall continue to be guided by the availability and efficient use of public facilities and services as well as site characteristics such as soil conditions and topography. With public water and wastewater already onsite, this site is most advantageous for the change of future land use from Residential Single Family to Residential Multi- family. While the soils are not the most advantageous for urban development according to the Soil Survey of Okeechobee County, the two concerns for this soil type are wetness and high water table. With improved drainage, which this site will benefit from and the existing public sewer system these items will not be a concern for this development. The topography of this site has been partially developed due to road beds in the City Right of Way being prepared and is well suited for this level of development. This site is perfectly located to provide attainable multi-family housing for the resident of the City of Okeechobee due to its strategic location just blocks from downtown, an elementary school, middle school, freshman campus and senior high school. This site meets and exceeds this objective, Policy 2.1.a1b - The primary purpose of these categories is to manage future growth, Since the current future land use on this parcel is Single-Family Residential and land to the south and east is multi family. it is reasonable to change this area to a higher density classification to help curtail urban sprawl. This project will help manage the future growth by providing higher density housing. Transportation Element Objective 7 - Calls for the City to establish levels of service standards that are acceptable for existing and future conditions. Please refer to the traffic statement prepared by McMahon Associates, Inc. Housing Element Policy 1.1 - The City is to permit new residential development only where facilities such as roads, sanitary sewer, and potable water are available and adequate. There is an adequate road system available as seen in the traffic statement prepared by McMahon Associates, Inc., adequate water and sanitary sewer service is available onsite and capacity exist at the plants to serve this project refer to water and sewer statement prepared by Rudd Jones, P.

North Park Street, Suite 204 Okeechobee, FL 34972 (863) 763-9460 FAX: (863) 763-9036 RE: Southern Trace Water and Sewer Capacity Dear Mr. Dobbs: In reference to the above listed project, the Qkeechobee Utility Authority and the developer have not executed an agreement for water or wastewater services at this time. When this Agreement is signed, then and only then will the treatment plant capacity be reserved for this project Currently, the QUA has sufficient treatment capacity at the water treatment plant for this project. However, the OUA has very limited wastewater treatment plant capacity. The QUA is nearing completion of the design/permitting phase for a treatment plant expansion. The expansion is expected to be under construction by late summer (2006) and finished by mid-summer 2008. Southern Trace will be required to obtain permits from the Department of Environmental Protection for both the water and wastewater systems prior to construction. As always, should you have any questions, comments or concerns with this project or content of this letter, please call 863. 763.9460 to discuss.

Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Steven Dobbs, InSite Development Petition No.: 07 -005-SSA Request: The matter for consideration is an application for a Future Land Use Map Amendment from Single Family to Multi-Family. Based on the size of the property (11.29 acres), this application qualifies under Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes as a Small-Scale Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan because the State Statutes allow up to 20 acres under the Small Scale Plan Amendment procedures in a County designated as Economically Distressed. Adjacent Future land Use Map classifications and Zoning Districts: North: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: East: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: South: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: West: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: Single Family RSF-I Single family residences Multi Family RMF Vacant, owned by the applicant and is being proposed for multi-family development in conjunction with this property. Multi-Family and Public Facilities RMF and PUB Vacant and FDOT property Single Family Holding Single family residences Summary: The Applicant is proposing to amend the Future Land Use Map to allow multi-family uses on the subject property. Block 21 has four (4) lots which are developed with single family residences but the rest of the property (Blocks 11, 12, and 22) is vacant. The Applicant has submitted plans to the City for the development of the property, so some information within this Report will be based on facts submitted with the site plan review application. The following discussions contain the Staff's initial comments, as provided in the Staff Report dated 4/12/07, followed by new comments based on the changes to the application made since the Planning Board meeting on April 19th. The new comments are shown in Arial bold typeface. 2 Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Steven Dobbs, InSite Development Petition No.: 07-005-SSA Some initial concerns with the application are as follows: 1. Property address/directions to the property: The application should correctly identify the properties involved. The application will be changed to read: "West of Hwy. 441, South of the City Limits ditch between NW 5th and 7th Avenues and along the west side of NW 7th Avenue, between NW 11th and 13th Streets. 2. Parcel Identification Numbers: Exhibit A duplicates parcel identification numbers. For example, 3-15-37-35-0010-00210-0060 is listed twice, in line three and at the end of line four. Attachment A has been modified to correctly identify the parcels numbers involved. 3. Current Zoning Designation: The Zoning Map shows Blocks 11, 12, 21, and 22 as all being zoned RSF-l but the Applicant states the zoning is MF and SF. The application will be changed to show the current Zoning Designation as RSF1 4. Required Attachments (page 2 of 2 of the application): The survey submitted with the application is for Blocks 13 and 20, which are not part of this Small Scale Amendment application. A survey needs to be provided for the area encompassed by Blocks 11, 12,21 and 22. A correct survey of the property has been provided. Comprehensive Plan Analysis A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. The Applicant is requesting to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single Family to Multi- Family. As prescribed by the Comprehensive Plan, specifically Policy 2.1 (b), permitted uses in the Multi-family Residential Future Land Use category include apartments, duplexes, condos, single family houses and public facilities. The maximum density is 10 units per acre. Thus, using the maximum density and the minimum lot requirements in the Land Development Code, the Applicant could develop these Blocks with approximately 113 units. Based on the application, the proposed use of multi-family development is consistent with the Multi-Family Residential Future Land Use category as described in the Comprehensive Plan. Multi-family dwelling units are the predominant land use in areas within this category. However, it is less clear that all of the Comprehensive Plan Policies are being met with this request. This is shown later in such areas as Infrastructure Level of Service (Roads) and Parks and Open Space. " J Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Steven Dobbs, InSite Development Petition No.: 07-005-SSA The Applicant has provided additional information to clarify that applicable Objectives and Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan are being met, although Staff has identified in the following sections some needed clarifications and corrections that should be provided by the Applicant before the application and supporting documentation are provided to the City Council for consideration of adoption. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities According to the U.S. Census, the City of Okeechobee averages approximately 2.7 persons per household (pph). Thus, the development of this property could generate approximately 305 additional residents (2.7 pph x 113 diu). Roadways: The City's adopted level of service standard (LOSS) for local roads is LOS D. The subject property will be serviced by local roads. The Applicant has just recently submitted a revised traffic analysis and this analysis needs to be reviewed before a recommendation is made concerning possible degradation of Transportation LOS. (Refer to Traffic Analysis comments, page 6.) Potable Water: The adopted LOSS for potable water is 114 gpcpd. The impact for the proposed development is as follows: 113 units x 2.7 pph x 114 gpcpd = 34,781 gpd Staff notes that the Applicant has incorrectly calculated demand for potable water associated with the development on page 6 of the appli- cation. These figures should be corrected prior to consideration of the application by the City Council. In addition, the Applicant needs to update the discussion on pages 6 and 7 of the application relating to the timing of the completion of work on the wastewater treatment plan and should include with the application a letter of confirmation of outstanding available capacity from the Okeechobee Utility Authority. Sanitary Sewer: The adopted LOSS for sanitary sewer is 130 gpcpd. The impact for the proposed development is as follows: 113 units x 2.7 pph x 130 gpcpd = 39,663 gpd Staff notes that the Applicant has incorrectly calculated demand for sanitary sewer treatment associated with the development on page 6 of the application and that these figures should corrected prior to consideration of the application by the City Council. 4 Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Steven Dobbs, InSite Development Petition No.: 07-005-SSA Solid Waste: The adopted LOSS for solid waste is 13 Ibs/person/day. The impacts for the proposed development is as follows 113 units x 2.7 pph x 13 Ibs/person/day = 3,966 ppd The Applicant has stated that representatives of the County Solid Waste Facility did provide confirmation that the landfill had a life of 50 years. But, the Applicant's analysis uses the adopted LOSS from Okeechobee County not the City's LOSS. This analysis should be completed and a letter from Waste Management or the County should be provided to the City confirming the landfills ability to serve the proposed development. The Applicant did not correct this section on page 7 of its application and did not submit a letter from the County confirming adequate available capacity. While the Staff does not foresee a problem in the availability of landfill capacity, nevertheless, the Applicant should modify its application by employing the correct LOS and providing a confirming letter from the County prior to consideration of the application by the City Council. Drainage: The proposed development will be required to meet all standards required by the City ofOkeechobee and the South Florida Water Management District. Parks & Recreation: The adopted LOSS for parks and recreation is 3 acresll,OOO persons. Based on the estimated population, the minimum acreage requirement for parks and recreation would be approximately 0.915 acres. The Applicant has stated that this would be met by on-site facilities and provision of fair share contribution. However, upon review of the Applicant's proposed site plan, no such facilities have been provided. There has also been no mention of a fair-share contribution by the Applicant. Also, the estimate of 130 dwelling units is in conflict with the maximum of 113 dwelling units allowed under this submittal. The Applicant has addressed the foregoing concern by offering to donate to the City a 0.84 acre parcel, located on the south side of NW 11th Street, for use as a city park. This parcel is identified on the aerial and the revised site plan provided at the end of this Report. In addition, the site plan shows an area in each of blocks 12 and 21 designated as a proposed recreation area. Each area encompasses about 5,300 square feet. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses The proposed land use will not create any adverse impacts on the surrounding property as nearby properties are Multi-Family to the South and the East. 5 Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Steven Dobbs, InSite Development Petition No.: 07-005-SSA D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies (as they are intended) would allow for an Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi-Family Residential. This proposed multi-family development would be consistent with the uses allowed by the Multi- Family Residential category. Analysis and Conclusions _ The existing Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies will support Residential Multi- Family uses at this location if proper infrastructure planning is concurrent with this requested change. However, there are discrepancies within the Comprehensive Plan Policy impact analysis which must be addressed more clearly before a positive recommendation for this Future Land Use change can be granted: 1. Traffic Analysis: There are still significant traffic issues to be addressed for this application even though it is for a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment application. Because of the prior approval of the 10 acre Small Scale Amendment application, the total density is nearly 240 dwelling units and the traffic impact becomes that of a Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The listed requirements below have not been adequately addressed according to Staff's Transportation Consultant. These requirements must be met in order to establish that the LOS for the impacted roads in the City are not degraded by the proposed Plan Amendment. Further, the Plan Amendment must be consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies 7.1 (LOS Standards) and 7.2 (Concurrency Management System LOS). 1. The existing roadways serving the site within 1 mile radius area of influence indicating lanage, functional classification, current LOS, and LOS standard. 2. The critical links and intersections within the 1 mile area of influence. 3. Daily/PM Peak Trip generation for the maximum density allowed under the new land use designation minus the maximum density under the existing land use designation commensurate with the appropriate trip generation rates for each land use per ITE Report 7th Edition or Later. 4. Project traffic distribution to the links and intersections within the area of influence. 5. Short Range/S year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FOOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 6. Long Range/10 year CIP horizon links and intersections LOS Projections (growth rates per FOOT's Traffic Data 2005 or later). 7. Short and long range planned improvements. 6 Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Steven Dobbs, InSite Development Petition No.: 07-005-SSA 8. The concurrent developments impacts. g. Needed improvements to meet concurrency at buildout. 10. The applicant's funded off-site improvements. The Transportation Planner further states that the applicant's TIS is not consistent with the above 10 requirements. Furthermore, it is not clear why NW gth and US 441 is analyzed and other links and intersections are excluded? NW 12th and/or NW 13th Streets' intersections with two lanes section of US 441 (North of CSX Railroad crossing) are more reasonable and NW 5th Avenue and its intersection with SR 70 as well as US 441/SR 70 intersection. 2. Pertaining to the Conservation Element, the Applicant states that the conversion to a Multi-Family Land Use Designation will allow development that will be more sensitive to the natural systems of the area. Further, in the later "Analysis of primary indicators" section of the application, the Applicant states that adequate site design techniques will be employed to protect and conserve natural systems such as wetlands, native vegetation, etc. The Applicant further states in a subsequent section on "Natural Resource Protection" that there are no wetlands or areas of native vegetation, but that a full environmental assessment will be conducted of the entire property as part of any future development application. The Applicant has already submitted preliminary development plans for the first phase involving blocks 4, 13 and 20 of its project, which plans also included the development layout for the property involved in the SSA (blocks 11, 12, 21 and 22). The Applicant has not as yet submitted any environmental assessment for any of the properties, and neither the site plans nor the associated text refer to techniques intended to protect and conserve the natural areas or system. So far, all site plan submissions have been designed only to maximize density on the properties. The Applicant has submitted letters from Environmental Services, Inc., the Army Corps of Engineers, and the South Florida Water Management District confirming that there are no jurisdictional wetlands on the site. However, prior to site plan approval the Applicant will need to verify the lack of valuable native trees or wildlife habitat that would be protected under the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A statement to this effect should be included under the Natural Resource Protection heading on page 5 of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment application prior to consideration of the application by the City Council. 3. Recreation Element: The Applicant makes reference to objectives in the Okeechobee County Comprehensive Plan, not those of the City. However, the Applicant does state that, .. The proposed project can easily accommodate the recreation needs of its anticipated population through the provision of on-site facilities". However, preliminary 7 Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Steven Dobbs, InSite Development Petition No.: 07-005-SSA site plans for the project, including both Phase I and Phase II (the portion of the project for which the Amendment is being requested) show no on-site recreational facilities. In a subsequent section of the submittal under the heading 'Parks and Recreation' the Applicant notes that "The project will be designed to provide residents with a variety of recreational facilities and open space to ensure the community's quality of life ". So far, no plans submitted by the Applicant show such facilities. This section goes on to identify that based on 130 units and a population of 2.5 per unit, the estimated population of 325 people would require at least 0.975 acres for recreation and open space. The Applicant further states that this park and open space mandate will be met through on-site facilities and provisions of fair-share contribution. No such facilities have been shown on the most recently submitted plans and there has been no mention of a fair-share contribution by the Applicant. The estimate of 130 units is also inconsistent with the number of units cited in the section entitled 'Maximum Allowable Development', which indicates a possible maximum of just 113 units. The Applicant has provided adequate recreation area to satisfy the demands of the proposed development as discussed on page 5 of this report. However, the Applicant should modify the last paragraph on page 8 of the application to reflect the appropriate population per household (2.7 rather than the indicated 2.5) and the resultant recreation/park requirement of 0.915 acres rather than the indicated 0.849 acres. 4. Pertaining to the Applicant's section 'Discouraging Urban Sprawl': Applicant's response to primary indicators of Urban Sprawl # 13: The proposed change will not result in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space, "With the conversion to a Multi-Family Residential Future Land Use, the proposed land use will provide sign~ficant amounts (~ffunctional open space that will be plannedfor active and passive recreation by residents of' the new community and others p. The most recent plans submitted by the Applicant show no evidence or provision of on-site recreational facilities. The Applicant has addressed this concern in the preceding topic and as discussed on page 5 of this report. 8 Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Steven Dobbs, InSite Development Petition No.: 07-005-SSA 5. Other comments: The Applicant should modify the first paragraph on page 9 concerning Historical/Archeological Resources to refer to the letter received from the Division of Historical Resources and included in the a ppl ication. RECOMMENDATION Assuming the applicant provides the information and abides by agreed commitments mentioned in the revised report and meets the transportation requirements, Staff recommends approval of this Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

Senior Project Manager cc: Curt Lundberg Mary Hinton /-10 MY flzrf S!r8!t . Swt'bfZ04-- . ~ ft~ . ~ 867-k674'76 . fix 86?-R-67-a;9I . . InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Compliance with Okeechobee County Comprehensive Plan The proposed amendment is consistent with the following objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan which are relevant to the subject request. 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 Objective 1 - The location of future development in the City of Okeechobee shall continue to be guided by the availability and efficient use of public facilities and services as well as site characteristics such as soil conditions and topography. With public water and wastewater already onsite, this site is most advantageous for the change of future land use from Residential Single Family to Residential Multi- family. While the soils are not the most advantageous for urban development according to the Soil Survey of Okeechobee County, the two concerns for this soil type are wetness and high water table. With improved drainage, which this site will benefit from and the existing public sewer system these items will not be a concern for this development. The topography of this site has been partially developed due to road beds in the City Right of Way being prepared and is well suited for this level of development. This site is perfectly located to provide attainable multi-family housing for the resident of the City of Okeechobee due to its strategic location just blocks from downtown, an elementary school, middle school, freshman campus and senior high school. This site meets and exceeds this objective. Policy 2.1.a/b - The primary purpose of these categories is to manage future growth. Since the current future land use on this parcel is Single-Family Residential and land to the south and east is multi family, it is reasonable to change this area to a higher density classification to help curtail urban sprawl. This project will help manage the future growth by providing higher density housing. Transportation Element Objective 7 - Calls for the City.to establish levels of service standards that are acceptable for existing and future conditions. Please refer to the traffic statement prepared by McMahon Associates, Inc. Housing Element Policy 1.1 - The City is to permit new residential development only where facilities such as roads, sanitary sewer, and potable water are available and adequate. There is an adequate road system available as seen in the traffic statement prepared by McMahon Associates, Inc., adequate water and sanitary sewer service is available onsite and capacity exist at the plants to serve this project refer to water and sewer statement prepared by Rudd Jones, P. E. & Associates. Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element Page 1 InSite Development, llC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Objective 1 - The City determine availability of service capacity based on the minimum level of service and the demand generated by development. Please refer to Sanitary Sewer and Potable Water and the Drainage statement prepared by Rudd Jones, P, E. & Associates for compliance with this objective. Conservation Element Goal - The City is committed to conserve, protect, and appropriately manage the natural resources to promote the highest environmental Conversion to the Multi-Family Residential designation will allow for a development program to be brought forward that will be sensitive to natural systems of the area. Recreation Element Objective R.1 - Requires that recreation facilities meet the existing and future needs of the County's population through the planning period. Please refer to the Adequate Public Facilities Analysis section of this report for a specific analysis of the additional demand for public facilities caused by this request. Objective R.2 - Requires the County to coordinate with the private sector to provide recreational facilities. The proposed project can easily accommodate the recreation needs of its anticipated population through the provision of on-site facilties. In addition, through a fair-share cost basis, the proposed project, at time of development application, can also provide for its required recreation needs. Compliance with State Growth Manaaement Reauirements. 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's 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. The proposed future land use must also 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)(j) describes development controls which may be used by a local government to mitigate the presence of sprawl. Page 2 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential 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, FS., and the Florida Administrative Code regarding discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl. As such, the proposed future land use amendment to the MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL district, which allows 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 Multi-Family Residential will actually increase densities within the urban area of the City in close proximity to the urban center while also ensuring a balanced mix of uses and their intended benefits. 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 Multi-Family Residential will actually increase densities within the City in close proximity to the urban center. The proposed request is also adjacent to an existing designation of Multi-Family 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 Multi-Family Residential future land use will not result in the premature or poorly planned conversion of undeveloped 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 amendment is within a future land use of Single-Family Residential and will not impact agricultural operations to the west. From the SCS Soil Survey of Page 3 InSite Development, llC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Okeechobee County designated the soil in this area as not productive for Agriculture. 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. 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, stormwater 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 is within the public facility service area, 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 adjacent to other lands within the City of Okeechobee with a Multi-Family Residential future land use designation and thereby maintains clear separation between urban and rural uses. 10. Discourages or inhibits infill development or the redevelopment of existing neighborhoods and communities. This project is infill of existing lands designated for housing and only looks to increase the density allowed by changing the Future Land Use Classification from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential. 11. Fails to encourage an attractive and functional mix of uses. The proposed site being adjacent to other lands designated Multi-Family Residential, Public and Single- Family Residential allows 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 Multi-Family Residential future land use, 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. Page 4 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Encroachment of Incompatible development As the City of Okeechobee experiences development, a mix of uses has evolved such as residential, hotels, restaurants, and service businesses, 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. This project will bring to fruition many failed attempts to bring housing to this area. The subject site is bound on the west by a cattle stockyard with an Agricultural future land use designation, to the south by a DOT maintenance yard with a Public future land use designation, to the east by undeveloped land with a Multi-Family Residential future land use designation and to the north by undeveloped land with a Single-Family Residential future land use designation. Given the adjacent existing and future land uses, the proposed request for Multi-Family Residential future land use will not result in the encroachment of incompatible development but will actually complement the existing and planned uses and provide a balanced mix of uses in a well planned development. Natural resource protection The site is currently devoid of native vegetation or wetlands. A full environmental assessment will be conducted for the entire property as part of any future development application. Adeauate Public Facilities Analysis The following analysis demonstrates that adequate facilities are present or planned to accommodate the incremental demand that may be generated by the proposed future land use. The analysis determines the net incremental demand from a worst-case development scenario of the existing and proposed future land use categories. The net demand is then compared to the existing and planned capacity. The current demand from the existing future land use is assumed to be addressed within the background growth assumptions of the City's local concurrency management system and the long term planning horizon of the capital Improvement Element. The later analysis has previously been determined by the Department of Community Affairs to be internally consistent based upon the current future land use maps. Transportation Please refer to the enclosed traffic statement. 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. Page 5 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential 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 in 2007 with final adoption expected by mid-2007. 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 statutes. As the local government application for site plan approval is not expected to be submitted untillate-2007, with approval granted in early-2008, 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 late-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 SW 5th Avenue and is approximately 2 miles from the site. The closest middle school is Yearling Middle located at 925 NW 23rd Lane and is approximately 2 miles from the site. The closest high school, Okeechobee High, is located at 2800 N.W. Highway 441 North and is approximately 2 miles from the site.. The closest Freshman Campus is located at 610 SW 2nd Avenue and is approximately 2 miles from the site. 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. Existing Conditions Under the current Single-Family Residential future land use, the property would be served by a central Water and Sewer System. Proposed Conditions 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 113 units. The estimated water and wastewater flows are as follows: Use Measure Rate Gallons per day Multi Family 113 units 114 GPDPD - water 34,781 water Residential 130 GPDPD - sewer 39,663 sewer *Reference: HRS 100-6 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 Page 6 InSite Development, llC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential 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 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. Water 6.00 m d 1.93 m d 0.25 m d 3.82 m d Sewer 4.00 m d 0.89 m d 0.10 m d 3.01 md Based upon these figures, 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. A letter from the Okeechobee Utility Authority stating they have adequate Police The nearest police station is located at 55 SE 3rd Avenue. 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 immediately adjacent to other land designated for urban development, is within the public service area, and is approximately 3 miles from the site. Fire The nearest fire station is located at 55 SE 3rd Avenue. 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 immediately adjacent to other land designated for urban development, is within the public service area, and is approximately 3 miles from the site. Solid Waste The Okeechobee County solid waste level of service is 13.0 pounds per capita per day and a three year availability of landfill capacity. Given the 113 maximum number of potential units with 2.7 person per dwelling, the maximum demand for the project would be approximately 3,966 pounds per day. Okeechobee County operates the regional solid waste landfill. A letter from the solid waste service provider, Waste Management, pertaining to solid waste service was not available. However, confirmation was provided by Joe Fazula, Solid Waste Manager, that 50 years capacity is available. Consequently, the existing landfill has surplus capacity in excess of three years. Page 7 InSite Development, LLC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Stormwater Management The project is located in the City of Okeechobee and FEMA FIRM Panels do not include the City of Okeechobee, however, this site is adjacent to the City Limits Ditch to the north that has a bottom elevation of 17.0 NGVD and discharges in to Taylor Creek to the east, which is controlled at elevation 13.5 NGVD. There are currently no known flooding or erosion control problems associated with the project site. No 1 DO-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. 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. 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 minimized by on-site detention within the stormwater management system. 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. 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. 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 acres per 1,000 people. Based on the estimated population of 305 people (113 units x 2.7 ppd), the project's minimum acreage requirement for recreation and park space is approxmately 0.915 acres. The project will meet the park and open space mandates through on-site facilites and provision of fair-share contribution. The planned system of parks and open spaces is consistent with the City of Okeechobee's Comprehensive Plan. Page 8 InSite Development, llC Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future land Use Change from Single-Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential Historical/Archeological Resources There are no known archeological or historical sites within the project boundaries. A letter received from the Department of Historical Resouces states that they do not believe any historical or cultural resources will be found on site, but if anything is found during construction care should be taken and an archeologist contacted, so the site can be investigated further. 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, east of the project site, is the closest evacuation route. Additionally, SR-70, approximately 2 miles to the south 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.

Request: The matter for consideration is an application for a Future Land Use Map Amendment from Single Family to Commercial. Based on the size of the property (0.64 acres), this application qualifies under Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes as a Small-Scale Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Concurrent with this request, the applicant is proposing to rezone the property to CPO.

HOLDINGS, LLC Petition No.: 07-006-SSA West: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: Commercial CHV Church Summary: The applicant is proposing to amend the Future Land Use Map to allow commercial uses on the subject property. The property is developed with a vacant single family residence that the applicant is proposing to convert into a home health office. Comprehensive Plan Analysis A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. Based on the application, it would appear that the request is consistent with the Commercial Future Land Use Category as described in Objective 2 and its corresponding policies within in the Future Land Use Element. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities The subject property is already developed and has adequate public facilities. However, this will be reevaluated during the site plan review phase. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses The requested Future Land Use designation will be compatible with adjacent land use categories. The proposed use will be consistent as the neighborhood has been slowly transitioning to incorporate light commercial uses as evidenced by recent land use and zoning changes to the east and south of the subject property. If approved, the future land use change should not lead to future encroachments into stabilized residential neighborhoods. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. The proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment is in compliance with the specific standards of the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis and Conclusions The existing Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and policies will support commercial uses at this location. Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map from Single Family to Commercial as the request is consistent with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan.

The property is located at 813 SW 2nd Street. The property is currently zoned residential single family (RSF1) and lies within the Single Family future land use classification of the adopted comprehensive plan. The applicant wishes to establish multi family residences such as duplexes on the property. In accordance with city regulations, a small scale map amendment and a change in zoning will be required. There are adjacent and nearby existing multi-family and single family uses and zoning districts. The proposed change would be consistent with the existing land use pattern. A small multi family residentially zoned development could be an enhancement to the area and possibly encourage similar type of development in the area.

Request: - The matter for consideration is an application for a Future Land Use Map Amendment from Single Family Residential to Multi-Family Residential. Based on the size of the property ( 1.31 acres), this application qualifies under Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes as a Small-Scale Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. In addition to this request, the applicant also requests a rezoning of the subject property from RSF -1 to RMF. Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Ray & Sheri Lachapelle Petition No.: 07-008-SSA Adjacent Future land Use Map classifications and Zoning Districts: North: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: East: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: South: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: West: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: Multi-Famiiy Residential RMF Multi-family residences Multi-Family Residential RMF and Holding Vacant Multi-Family Residential Holding and RMF Vacant Single Family Residential RSF-l Vacant Summary: The subject property is currently classified as Single-Family on the FLUM. The Single-Family category only allows one Single-Family dwelling on each lot. The applicant is requesting Multi- Family Residential Future Land Use category which will allow apartments, duplexes, and single family homes on the property. The applicant is proposing to construct multi-family residences on the site. The subject property is within an area which has been recently undergoing some large re- designations to Multi-Family. Multi-Family is the Future Land Use designation to the North, South and West. However, there have been no studies presented showing a need for development other than single-family residential development at this location. There is also a compatibility concern for the large, Small Scale Future Land Use Amendment to the South (Altobello/Royal Concrete) which was changed to a Multi-Family Future Land Use category. Some discussions of possible development of that parcel at a single-family density have taken place with City Staff and the Developer. Comprehensive Plan Analysis A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies. In examining the Multi-Family Future Land Use category the subject property presently would seem to be more consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single-Family Future Land Use classification and have development limited to single family residences. If this parcel were to be changed to Multi-Family, it seems to make it attractive for other properties to the West to anticipate that the Single-Family neighborhood is no longer a viable land use option. 2 Staff Report Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant: Ray & Sheri Lachapelle Petition No.: 07-008-SSA B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities The Utility Authority has sewer and water service availability for this site but the transportation impacts from nearby multi-family changes would seem to be substantial as the residential streets are not suitable for all of the planned multi-family development surrounding the subject property. Adding more multi-family units and their additional parking impacts without assessing recent changes, could compound future traffic problems because of the limited street capacity. C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses The existing neighborhood is for the most part vacant lands which seem to reflect a low level of residential intensity with multi-family development of conventional construction to the north of this property. Developing the subject property at a higher density than the Single Family category may allow or create adverse impacts on the surrounding roadway network. This request also could hinder any single family development on the surrounding properties to the West. Again, the parcel to the South is facing a possible noncompliance review and future development of that parcel may be limited to Single- Family density. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. There is no evidence presented to show this property in terms of infrastructure capacity and compatibility would be best served by changing its Future Land Use classification to Multi-Family Residential. Analysis and Conclusions The request to change the Future Land Use designation for the subject property from Residential Single-Family to Residential Multi-Family should not be approved at this time based on the above information.

Lucie County, Florida, 345.00 feet South of the South line of SOUTHWEST PARK STREET, thence run South along the East line of SOUTHWEST 10TH AVENUE, a distance of 370.00 feet; thence run East a distance of 705.00 feet to the Southeast corner of lot 18, according to the unrecorded Plat of Survey, of said Section 21, made by Leon H. Willis, County Surveyor, Okeechobee County, Florida, dated March 26, 1963 from the Point of Beginning; thence continue East a distance of 150.00 feet; thence bear North parallel to the centerline of Northwest 9th A venue, formerly known as Chokaloskee Street, to the intersection with a curve in the Southerly right of way line of South West 2nd Street, formerly known as Tuscaloosa Street, a distance of 400.81 feet, more or less; thence run Southwesterly along the arc of said curve to the intersection with the centerline extended of Southwest 9th Avenue, a distance of 154.05 feet, thence run South along the said centerline extended of Southwest 9th Avenue, as distance of370.00 feet to the S.E. corner of Lot 18 and P.O.B. Request: The applicant requests a zoning change from the existing zoning classification of Residential Single-Family (RSF-1) to Residential Multi-Family (RMF) to allow the construction of multi- family residences on the property. 1 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Ray & Sheri Lachapelle Petition No.: 07-005-R Adjacent Future Land Use Map Classifications and Zoning Districts: North: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: East: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: South: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: West: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: Multi-Family Residential RMF Multi-family residences Multi-Family Residential RMF and Holding Vacant Multi-Family Residential Holding and RMF Vacant Single Family Residential RSF-1 Vacant Summary: The subject property is vacant and is being proposed for multi-family development. The applicant is requesting to change the Zoning Map from RSF-1 to RMF. Analysis 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. At this time, the applicant's request would be inconsistent with the intent of the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. (See responses below.) 2. The proposed use being applied for is spec{fically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. The RMF Zoning District allows a variety of uses, including multi-family housing. However, the subject property would seem to be more consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single-Family Future Land Use category classification and have development limited to Single-Family residences. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. The existing neighborhood was meant to reflect a low level of residential intensity as shown on the Future Land Use Map. Changes to accommodate residential multi-family dwellings would be inconsistent with the existing pattern of the neighborhood to the West. This area, if 2 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Ray & Sheri Lachapelle Petition No.: 07-005-R allowed to be changed to RMF, would no doubt create more rezonings in the single-family area to the West of this property. 4. The use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. No, the use is not appropriate for the location until the applicant submits a traffic analysis of the impacts from the subject property and the adjacent properties which were amended and rezoned recently. It is also not known what the drainage impacts would be if this area was intensified to multi-family. 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. The proposed use could adversely affect living conditions of the adjacent properties and would adversely affect the stability of single-family development. 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood If granted, buffering would be determined during the site plan review phase. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. The zoning change for small acreage may not lead to a tremendous overburdening of infrastructure but if approved, it would lead to further erosion of single-family development and the impact of more conversions to multi-family could overburden the facilities. 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. Yes, traffic congestion could be a problem if zonings of this intensity are allowed to continue. It is not known what the impacts along Second Street would be if there are further allowances of multi-family uses in this area. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. No, the proposed use has not been inordinately burdened. 10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege. 3 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Ray & Sheri Lachapelle Petition No.: 07-005-R Summary and Conclusions Prior to Certification Based on the above information, it is recommended that this application for rezoning be deemed inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation Staff recommends denial of the request to allow rezoning from RSF-I to RMF. James G.

The applicant intends to establish a funeral Page -1- Staff Report Special Exception Request Applicant's Name: CBC Management, Inc. Petition No. 07-()()4.SE home with a crematory on the subject property. The property is vacant where the funeral home and crematorium will be located but also has an existing medical center office on site. It should be determined at the meeting whether the funeral home and crematorium are to be sold separately from the existing medical center. The use will have public utilities and the adjoining property users are as follows: North: East: South: West: Commercial Commercial Commercial and Residential Commercial and Residential Consistency with Land Development Regulations: When reaching a conclusion on a Special Exception, the Board of Adjustment shall consider and show in its record the following findings: A. The use is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements. No, the proposed funeral home with a crematory is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements. The subject property is within the Commercial Future Land Use category and this type of commercial development is allowed by the Plan. B. The use is specUrcally authori::.ed as a special exception use in the ::,ollinR district. Yes, the funeral home use is a permitted use within the CHV Zoning District and Section 90-283(10) allows a crematory as a special exception use. C. The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. No, this site is vacant where the special exception approval will be granted, with a medical office also located on this property. The parking requirements and other site criteria will be met separately for funeral home and crematorium. D. The use is appropriate for the proposed location, is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses and is not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns.

The proposed funeral home will not be a deterrent to the development of Page -2- Staff Report Special Exception Request Applicant's Name: CBC Management, Inc. Petition No. 07-00+SE adjacent property. There is an auto repair facility located at the rear of the property and there are no residential units contiguous to the proposed funeral home and crematorium. F. The use may be required to be screened from surrounding uses to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses. If required, this use may need to be screened from surrounding uses to reduce the impact of the conversion. This will be done during the site plan review phase. G. The use will not create a density pattern that will overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. Density will not be an issue for this property. H. The use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. The proposed use should not generate much traffic congestion. The TRC will review a Site Plan approving separate drainage and parking for the crematorium and proposed funeral home as was done for the existing medical center and office. Recommendation: Move that Petition No.07-004-SE be approved subject to the crematorium abiding by all applicable State requirements, with an understanding that a Site Plan must be approved by the TRC regulating the parking and drainage for the funeral home and crematorium. No outside activities are to take place. Submitted by: James G.

IMPACT FEE DEVELOPMENT This Section of the Study describes the methodology for developing the City of Okeechobee's Impact Fees. The City has identified the following public facilities essential to meet anticipated growth: Fire; Law Enforcement; and Public Works. Funding of the City's Capital Improvement Program will be accomplished from a variety of sources including: property taxes, special assessments, grants, gasoline taxes, other sources and impact fees. Impact fees will assist the City in providing future facilities as part of an overall program of funding. Table 5 highlights the Capital Improvement Program relative to City impact fees.

Consulting Engineers & Planners - 7 - Fire Impact Fee This portion of the Study describes the methodology for the Fire Impact Fee. The fee is based on a Ten Year Capital Improvement program to provide needed capacity to serve new development. The capital costs of the Ten Year Capital Improvement Program have been revised to exclude capital costs associated with the existing population. An analysis of recent service call experience study was used to formulate local call rates by land use type. The capital costs have been further adjusted to account for surplus capacity. The resulting total capital cost attributable to growth was used to determine a residential and non-residential capital cost per average dwelling unit and per 1,000 square feet of non-residential floor area. The recommended Fire Rescue Impact Fee Rates by land use type are a product of the call rate for the land use type in question times the average capital cost per residential (or non-residential) use and an adjustment factor. Table 6 lists the Ten Year Fire Rescue Capital Improvement Program and the resulting proportionate amount eligible for funding by impact fees.

Land uses were categorized in a similar manner as a recent Fire Study for Lee County where a single family dwelling unit is classified as the typical residential unit, multi-family dwelling units were 0.75, mobile homes 0.73 and hotel/motel rooms 0.82 of a typical residential unit. For the City of Okeechobee Impact Fee Study, a mobile home on a single family lot is also classified as a typical residential unit. For non-residential uses, the following values were used: retail/institutional 0.78; office 0.36; industrial 0.38; and, warehouse 0.35. The appropriate capital cost was then multiplied by the typical unit factor to arrive at a final fee rate. Table A-I in the Appendix provides the resulting Fire Impact Fee Schedule.

The fee is based on a Ten Year Capital Improvement program to provide needed Law Enforcement capacity to serve new development. The capital costs of the Ten Year Capital Improvement Program have been revised to exclude capital costs associated with the existing population. The capital costs have been further adjusted to account for surplus capacity. The resulting total capital cost attributable to growth was used to determine a residential and non-residential capital cost per average dwelling unit and per 1,000 square feet of non-residential floor area The recommended Law Enforcement Impact Fee Rates by land use type are a product of the call rate for the land use type in question times the average capital cost per residential (or non-residential) use and an adjustment factor.

Residential and non-residential land uses were categorized in a similar manner as a recent Study for Orange County utilizing single family units (for residential) and commercial/retail (for non- residential as the base unit. For residential uses, a single family dwelling unit is classified 1.00; multi-family dwelling units 0.315; mobile homes 0.315; and, hotel/motel rooms 0.505. For non-residential uses, commercial/retail 1.00; office/institutional 0.249; industrial 0.153; and, warehouse 0.153. For the City ofOkeechobee Impact Fee Study, a mobile home on a single family lot is also classified as a single family unit.

Public Works improvements include capital equipment needed for improvement and maintenance activities, new sidewalks, building equipment and building expansions, drainage improvements to improve capacity and road construction. Figure 3 illustrates the location of drainage and road improvements included in the Capital Improvement Program. The capital costs of the Ten Year Capital Improvement Program have been revised to exclude the capital costs associated with the existing population. The capital costs have been further adjusted to account for surplus capacity. The resulting total capital cost attributable to growth was used to determine a residential and non-residential capital cost per average dwelling unit and per 1,000 square feet of non-residential floor area.

The following recommendations are offered relative to the findings of this Study and the preparation of subsequent studies. 1. The Fee Schedules as provided for in the Appendix should be incorporated into the City of Okeechobee Land Development Code. 2. The City should initiate efforts to collect additional service call, demographic and population characteristics to facilitate subsequent Study updates. 3. The City Impact Fees should be updated periodically utilizing updated demographic information, public facility costs, capital improvement priorities and revenue sources. The update period should occur in the 3 - 5 year time frame. City of Okeechobee Impact Fee Study Final Report Walter H. Keller. Inc.

The City Council appoints Members of the community to boards and committees to act as advisors on a wide variety of topics and projects. These advisory bodies act in an advisory capacity to the City Council, the City Administrator or to departments of the city government. The tasks vary depending upon the type of organizations, but generally include reviewing long range plans and suggesting changes, modifications or additions to the plans. The advisory groups are not responsible for day-to-day operations of departments, operating policies of departments or the business decisions of the local government. All City of Okeechobee Boards, Committees, and Task Forces serve at the pleasure of the City Council. Each of these entities was created for a different reason and has a different relationship with both the City Council and the City support staff. Each appointed body has a specific scope of authority as provided by City Ordinance and/or State Statute. Boards, Committees, and Task Forces may have administrative, managerial, quasi-judicial, investigatory, and/or advisory powers dependent upon the enabling legislation. These bodies do not set policy, but rather act as a collective citizen sounding board in the policy process. The advisory bodies are an integral part of citizen participation in local government and an important asset to the city for proper growth and development and the long term stability of our city. When a governmental body (such as the Board of Adjustments and Appeals or the Code Enforcement Board) applies law to a particular set of facts or circumstances to reach a decision, the decision is "quasi-judicial" because the governmental body is taking an action similar to that taken by a judge. "Quasi" means nearly, almost, or like. Traditionally, "court like" procedures of government have come to be known as "quasi- judicial" because they are like those procedures used by courts. Why aoes tile, 'Board 01 Aajustments ana Coae Enforcement Boara conauct "g~li..jp.iei~f~%.~lrtgs? ,'-' '" ",>' " "" ~'-<' "'\", " " The actions by the Board of Adjustments and Code Enforcement Board involve the application of law to a certain set of circumstances. The Florida Supreme Court recognized that decisions of local government that apply law to specific circumstances such as zoning changes are judicial in nature. The Supreme Court decided these "quasi-judicial" decisions should be made in proceedings conducted with most of the same protections available to those persons who are presenting a case in court. These protections include the right to have all witnesses testify under oath, the right of opposing sides to ask questions of each other's witnesses, and the right of each side to hear everything said to the decision maker. 2 Boards Boards have more limited roles in most cases. Boards usually act in an advisory and/or investigatory capacity to the City Council. Boards are usually standing bodies, involved with ongoing subject areas. Committees Committees are usually temporary bodies organized according to a specific goal's accomplishment. Committees usually act in an advisory and/or investigatory capacity. Task Force Task Forces are specific bodies designed to aid in accomplishing a specific goal, policy, or project. Task Forces are not usually standing bodies, unless the nature of the subject area dictates otherwise. Advisory Members In addition to regular Members of citizen's boards, the City Council may from time to time appoint onto any citizen board an advisory Member, and as may be required from time to time by federal, state or local legislation, ordinance or rule, which Member shall not be a voting Member of such board. The Member shall participate in all discussions, offer advice, or opinions. 3 ~~!:l' :<< " ~ BOARD AND COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT GUIDELINES [ , "= -liW W .;<<~::::' ^'" ~ In general, citizens interested in serving on a Citizen Board/Committee should comply with the following guidelines: 1.

The Chair and Vice-Chair are chosen by direct election of the voting Board/Committee Members in accordance with the legislation governing that Board/Committee. If the Chair is absent, the Vice-Chair usually presides. In the absence of Chair and Vice- Chair, the Board/Committee designates an acting chair if a quorum is present. Responsibilities of the Chair and Vice-Chair Chair and Vice-Chair of Boards/Committees have several important responsibilities, which are essential to the effectiveness of the respective group. These responsibilities include: 1 . Should be knowledgeable about parliamentary procedure and the rules governing the public body. He/She should know more about parliamentary procedure than any other Member of the Board/Committee. During the meeting, the Chair should be fair, and impartial, tactful and courteous, all the while exhibiting common sense. 2. Conduct meetings in an efficient manner, focusing on the issues relevant to the functions and mission. 3. Should not allow Members to speak on an issue until there is a second. Also, the Chair should take special care to make sure that the Members know at all times what motion is being considered. 4. Regulate and facilitate discussion among board Members to ensure that all viewpoints are represented. Give each Member the opportunity to express ideas and/or concerns on issues that are being considered by the Board/Committee. 5. Ensure compliance with the "Government in the Sunshine" laws. 6. Assist in orienting new Board/Committee Members about the function, role and mission of the Board/Committee. 13 7. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR) outlines 14 general duties: a. Open the meetinQ at the appointed time. When the appointed time for the meeting to begin arrives, the Chair is seated, signals for quiet if necessary, raps the gavel once, and announces, "The meeting will come to order," or "The meeting will be in order." Quorum. A majority of the Members of a Board/Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. After opening ceremonies, this may be accomplished by the Secretary taking the roll. If there is not a quorum present within 15 minutes following the scheduled starting time of the Board/Committee meeting, the Chair can announce the absence of a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, RONR lists only four actions that are in order: i. Fix the Time to Which to Adiourn (set and adiourned meetinq). If the public body has the authority to set an adjourned meeting under state and/or local law, care must be observed so that proper notice is given to the public. II. Adiourn. If the Members present choose to adjourn, the next meeting will be the next regularly scheduled meeting, unless a special meeting is called in the interim. iii. Recess. The publiC body may choose to take a short recess and wait for the Member(s) to arrive to achieve a quorum. iv. Take Measures to Obtain a Quorum. Alternatively, Members present may choose to take action to obtain a quorum, such as to contact Members or even to pick them up and bring them to the meeting. Members sometimes want to go ahead with discussion of items of business, even though they will discuss the item again when a quorum is present at the current or subsequent meeting. The only time this may be appropriate is if a presentation was to have been made that could not be made at a later meeting. Even this may backfire, with the Members not in attendance out of the loop of information necessary to formulate a decision. 14 The meeting should be called to order to make a good faith effort to fulfill the obligation to hold the meeting as scheduled. Minutes would then reflect the absence of a quorum and the appropriate action taken. b. Announce in proper sequence the items to come before the Board/Committee. As a part of the special rules of order, a public body should include an order for taking up the business of the assembly. This is accomplished by using the written agenda process. c. Recognize Members who are entitled to the floor. Members obtain the floor by being recognized by the Chair. They do not have to rise as in an ordinary society, but rather signal the Chair that they wish to speak. The custom of the public body dictates whether raising a hand is sufficient to request recognition or whether a Member must address the Chair. If Members interrupt a speaker and the purpose for the interruption is not in order the Chair should advise that they would be recognized after the current speaker completes comments. d. State and put to vote all questions that legitimately come before the assembly, and announce the result of the vote. After a motion is made and seconded, the Chair repeats the motion: "It is moved and seconded that..." This places the motion before the assembly. Until that time, the motion belongs only to the Member who made it, who may modify the motion or even withdraw it. After debate (if allowed) is concluded, the Chair puts the motion to a vote by saying "The question is on the adoption of the motion that....: This reminds the Members of the exact wording of the motion before the vote is taken. After the vote is taken, the Chair announces the result of the vote by stating which side has it ("The ayes have if' or "The noes have if'), whether it was adopted or lost ("The motion is adopted" or "The motion 15 is lost"), the effect of the action, and when appropriate, the next item of business (or request that the Secretary read the next item of business). e. Protect the assembly from obviously frivolous or dilatory motions by refusing to recognize them. A motion is frivolous or dilatory if it seeks to obstruct or thwart the will of the assembly, misuses the legitimate forms of motions, abuses the privilege of renewing certain motions, or is absurd in substance. The motion, not necessarily the Member, is out of order. f. Enforce the rules relating to debate. g. Discourage the repetition of arguments. Attempt to call on people who have not yet spoken before those who have already spoken. Discourage dialogues that start up between two individuals in debate. h. If debate carries on too long, impose time limits on speakers. I. Discourage people from talking in initials - spell them out. j. Expedite business in every way compatible with the rights of Members. The Chair may expedite business by suggesting that a motion could be made ("The Chair would entertain a motion to.. ."). Unanimous consent provides an efficient way to expedite business when there appears to be little or no opposition to a motion. The Chair asks, "Is there any objection to...? [Pause] Since there is no objection, the motion is adopted." If a single Member objects, a vote is taken in the usual manner. k. Decide all questions of order subject to appeal. The Chair is obligated to rule on all points of order - a motion alleging that a rule is being violated. Members have the right to appeal the decision made by the Chair. 16 I. Respond to inquiries of Members relating to parliamentary procedure or facts. A parliamentary inquiry is a question to obtain information regarding parliamentary law or rules of the public body. A point of information is a request to the Chair, or through the Chair, to obtain information relevant to the business at hand. m. Authenticate all acts or orders. The Chair may be responsible for signing official correspondence, approved minutes of meetings together with the Secretary. These responsibilities are subject to the rules of the local body. n. Declare the meetinQ adiourned. The Chair should declare the meeting adjourned under the following circumstances: I. When the predetermined hour of adjournment has arrived. II. When it appears there is no further business. iii. In the event of fire, riot, or other extreme emergency. 8. Subject to the rules of the governing body, there are certain things that the Chair should always do, and likewise, things that the Chair never should do. A partial list of tips follows: Always: . Maintain order . Provide strong leadership . Remain impartial . Be tactful . Be fair . Keep discussion germane to the pending question . Exercise good judgment 17 Never: · Get Excited · Be unjust, even to troublesome Members · Take advantage of a Member's lack of knowledge · Be more technical than necessary · Allow remarks or debate to wander off the subject · Indicate personal feelings so the assembly knows the Chair's opinion of the question under discussion, unless the public body is operating as a small board. 9. Makina Motions. The Chair having voice in accordance with governing documents may make motions or second motions; however, this is not the best approach. The better approach is that the Chair "entertains a motion" rather than making it. If the Chair feels strongly about an issue and no other Member seconds the motion, that action can also be taken by the Chair. This should not, however, be a common occurrence. 10. Participate in Discussion. The Chair having voice in accordance with governing documents may also speak in debate to any motion. This privilege should be used after all other Members have exhausted their rights in debate. In this way, the Chair maintains, as much as possible, the appearance of impartiality. If the Chair does not have this privilege, participation in debate is allowed only after vacating the Chair. If there is a Vice-Chair, that individual assumes the leadership of the meeting until the question has been disposed of. If that individual has spoken, then the Chair is turned over to any Member who has not already spoken in debate. If the matter is postponed or otherwise delayed, when it comes up again before the assembly the Chair must again vacate the Chair while the question is being considered. (Note: The City has given the Chair the privilege of participation in debate without vacating the Chair unless a conflict of interest exists.) 11. Votina. Some Chairs, by virtue of governing documents, have the right to vote on all motions. If this is the case, the Chair should vote by voice with the other Members or vote last in a roll call vote. Again, this is to preserve the appearance of impartiality. (Note: The City policy set by the Mayor is that the Chair is not considered a voting Member except to break a tie. Unless otherwise voiced, the Chair vote will be noted in the affirmative of the motion being considered.) 18 12. The Chair's ruling must be followed unless overruled by the Board/Committee or is contrary to City Ordinances, Board/Committee rules or other established policy. 13. The Chair has not been given rights to Veto actions by the Board/Committee. 14. Assist in mediating conflicts or disputes between Board/Committee Members. 15. The Chair is responsible for acting as liaison between City Staff, Consultants, and the Board/Committee. 19 EXPECTATIONS FOR BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS : , , , Serving on a City Board/Committee is always challenging and rewarding. The information given below should help Board Members understand some of the expectations the City has for them in their respective roles. 1. Every Member has a valuable contribution to make and each Member should respect and consider each other's input in a particular subject. Boards/Committees are expected and encouraged to respect the diversity of opinions of each Member. 2. Members are expected to seek out and consider input from citizens interested in an issue or parties impacted by actions of the body prior to making a final determination on an issue. However, this must be done in accordance with ex- parte communication guidelines and must be disclosed at public meeting. 3. Boards/Committees represent the City in their appointed roles. All Members are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that demonstrates respect, integrity, teamwork, and competence. 4. Members should periodically take the time to set realistic and achievable goals and allow enough time to do a good job on each issue. 5. All persons involved in Boards/Committees should treat each other with fairness and respect. Interactions between Board/Committee Members, City Staff and Consultants not meeting this standard should be brought to the attention of the City Administrator immediately. Attendance, Removal and Resignation To be effective all Boards/Committees must have regular attendance. The following governs attendance at meetings: 1. Board/Committee Members are asked to regularly attend all meetings. Members are responsible for notifying their Board/Committee Secretary of a planned absence prior to the meeting. 2. Code Enforcement Board Members are regulated by 9162.05(3)( e) Florida Statutes. The following policy will apply: 20 a. When a Member needs to be absent they must notify the Board Secretary and give the reason for the absence. b. The Board Secretary will contact the Chair and relay the message. c. At the meeting, during Roll Call, the Chair will announce the absence of the Member and note whether it will be with or without consent. d. Once a Board Member has three consecutive absences without consent, they will be brought before the Board to be removed. e. The Board Secretary will forward the minutes noting the action of removal to the Clerk's Office, who will then forward the matter to the City Council for final removal and submit the list of applications on file to replace the Member. 3. Resignations shall be effective when accepted by the Chair. Upon acceptance of the resignation, the position on the Board/Committee shall be deemed vacant. The Chair shall then notify the Mayor through the City Clerk within 10 days of receiving the resignation. Responsibilities of Board/Committee Members 1. The Members should be prepared to succinctly discuss the issues. It's not a bad idea for Members to make notes, or even write a list of comments, so they will be prepared to intelligently discuss proposals. 2. As a courtesy to all and to fulfill their obligations, Members should arrive prior to the appointed time for the meeting. 3. Before proposing that Members take a formal action or position on an issue, a bit of preparation will help assure its acceptance. The Member should ask these questions: . Is the language of my motion clear and specific? . Is the motion stated briefly, concisely, and directly? . Can my intent possibly be misinterpreted? . Is the motion stated affirmatively? . Will the motion be in order? 21 · Does it call for action outside the object of the organization? · Will the action conflict with rules of the organization or public law? · Does it state who is to do what, when and to what intended effect? · Is it practical to do it? 4. When a topic is first introduced or a main motion is made, allow all questions for information purposes to be asked before opening to debate. 5. After seeking the floor and being recognized by the Chair, there are six steps in handling a motion: a. A Member makes a motion. "I move that..." b. Without seeking recognition, another Member seconds the motion. "Second." c. The Chair states the question on the motion. "It is moved and seconded that. 00" d. Members debate the motion. The maker of the motion is entitled to speak first in debate. The Chair must ask for public input during each public hearing item. e. The Chair puts the question to a vote. "The question is on the adoption of the motion that... Those in favor, say aye. [Pause] Those opposed, say no." [Pause] f. The Chair announces the result of the vote. "The ayes have it, the motion is adopted, and the contract will signed.... Is there further new business?" OR "The noes have it, the motion is lost, and the contract is not approved.. 00 The next item of business is.. 00" 6. During the meeting, observe proper parliamentary etiquette. Remarks in debate must be confined to the merits of the pending question. Unnecessary interruption of Members or conversation . with another Member during debate should be avoided. All remarks should be made to or through the Chair. Members need to really listen to what colleagues and the citizens have to say, and keep an open mind. 22 7. Members needing information during debate must wait for recognition and use a point of information. Remember that all handwritten notes may be subject to disclosure under Freedom of Information Acts. Meeting Procedure It is important that all organizations have underlying organizational structure and procedures. The guidelines below provide guidance for Members and the general public. Some Boards/Committees currently use a similar format that is given below. This list has been created to provide a framework for Boards/Committees procedures: The following three points are always in order: 1. Point of Order: a question about process, or objection and suggestion of alternative process. May include a request for the facilitator to rule on process. 2. Point of Information: a request for information on a specific question, either about process or about the content of a motion. This is not a way to get the floor to say something you think people should know. 3. Point of Personal Privilege: a comment addressing a personal need - a direct response to a comment defaming one's character, a plea to open the windows, etc. Motions All motions must be seconded, and are adopted by a majority vote unless otherwise noted. All motions may be debated unless otherwise noted. Motions are in order of precedence: motions may be made only if no motion of equal or higher precedence is on the floor (i.e., don't do a number 5 (move to end debate) when the body is discussing a number 4 (move to suspend rules). 1. Motion to Adjourn: not debatable; goes to immediate majority vote. 2. Motion to Recess: not debatable. May be for a specific time. 3. Motion to Appeal the Facilitator's Decision: Not debatable; goes to immediate vote, and allows the body to overrule a decision made by the chair. 23 4. Motion to Suspend the Rules: suspends formal process for dealing with a specific question. Debatable; requires simple majority vote. 5. Motion to End Debate and Vote or Call the Question: applies only to the motion on the floor. Not debatable; requires simple majority vote. 6. Motion to Extend Debate: can be general, or for a specific time or number of speakers. Not debatable. 7. Motion to Study: applies only to the main motion. Refers question to a specific group with a specific time and charge. 8. Motion to Amend: must be voted for by a majority to be considered and by a simple majority to be passed. If amendment is accepted as "friendly" by the proposor of the amendment then many bodies will allow it to be accepted without a formal vote; this is a way of including a consensus-building process into procedure without endless debate over amendments to amendments. Strictly speaking, however, once the main motion is made it is the property of the body to amend. 9. Main Motion: what it is you're debating and amending. 10. Motion to Postpone to a Certain Time: debatable; allows action to be delayed when it is clear that there is not sufficient information to take the appropriate action; may be used when a main motion is on the floor; simple majority vote. 11. Motion to Refer to Staff to Place on Agenda When Necessary Data is Obtained: debatable; may be used when a main motion is on the floor; simple majority vote. 12. Motion to Lay on the Table: not debatable; sets aside the pending business temporarily, without setting a time for resuming its consideration in order to take up something more urgent; or to temporarily set aside agenda items to get to a particular item; simple majority vote. If a Member moves to table and it is not obvious what other important business must be considered, the Chair should ask the purpose for the motion. The Chair can then suggest the appropriate motion to accomplish the desired outcome. 13. Motion to Postpone Indefinitely: debatable; used to kill or avoid dealing with a main motion on the floor; simple majority vote. 24 14. Voice Vote: The form of voting on a motion by which the Chair asks those in favor to respond to the motion in question by saying "aye" and then asks those opposed to the motion to say "no". If the "ayes" have the majority the Chair will state that the motion has passed. If the prevailing side is negative, the Chair will state that the motion is lost. 15. Roll Call Vote: The form of voting on a motion by which the Chair states both sides of then directs the Secretary to call the roll. Each Member answers as their name is called and the Secretary records their vote. Upon completion of the roll the Secretary reads the names of those who voted in the affirmative and then the names of those who voted in the negative. The total is then given to the Chair who announces the result. An entry must be made in the minutes of each Member and how they voted. This method of voting is very time consuming and is not ordinarily used. PUBLIC INPUT AND PARTICIPATION Citizen input on City programs and services are vital to ensuring their relevance, efficiency and effectiveness to the community. Using citizen Boards/Committees on various issues is an important way for the City Council and City administration to receive and consider citizen input. All meetings of Boards/Committees must be open to the public. There is, however, no obligation under the Sunshine laws, that an advisory body is required to permit public input at any meeting. Public input is at the sole discretion of the advisory body, upon a general consensus of the Members. The exception to this general rule is the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, Planning Board, and Code Enforcement Board, which operate under specific legal requirements described in the Florida Statutes. The Board of Adjustments and Appeals and Code Enforcement Board meetings are quasi-judicial in nature, and therefore must provide an opportunity for participation in the process by an aggrieved or adversely affected party, allowing a reasonable time for the party to prepare and present a case. The process must provide an opportunity for the disclosure of witnesses and exhibits prior to hearing and an opportunity for the depositions of witnesses to be taken. At the hearing, all parties must have the opportunity to respond, to present evidence and argument on all issues involved, and to conduct cross-examination and submit rebuttal evidence. Public testimony must be allowed. 25 OKEECHOBEE IN THE SUNSHINE t "''''' ~, "*'$ '" Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law provides a right of access to governmental proceedings at both the state and local levels. The law is equally applicable to elected and appointed Boards/Committees, and has been applied to any gathering of two or more Members of the same Board/Committee to discuss some matter which will forseeably come before that Board/Committee for action. There are three basic requirements of 9286.011, Florida Statutes: 1. Meetings of public Boards/Committees must be open to the public; 2. Reasonable notice of such meetings must be given; and 3. Minutes of the meetings must be taken. The law applies to elected and appointed Boards/Committees of any government agency in the State of Florida. It equally binds advisory boards whose powers are limited to making recommendations to a public agency and which possess no authority to bind that agency. Even though a Board/Committee must submit their recommendations for review by an elected body it does not exempt them from the provisions of this law. Meetings are defined as any gathering whether formal or casual of two or more Members of the same Board/Committee to discuss some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the public Board/Committee or Council. This rule extends to telephone conversations and e-mail communication, and even instant messaging conversations, whether on personal or public devices. This can extend further to a casual lunch between two Members of a Board/Committee - if they discuss some issue that the appointed body to which they belong, that lunch becomes a public meeting and is subject to all of the provisions of the Sunshine Law. While this may seem very restrictive, it is not the case. Appointed Members of Boards/Committees must remain aware of with whom they are communicating and what is being discussed. The safest course of action is to avoid discussion about matters that will come before the Board/Committee, with other Members of your Board/Committee, except when attending a meeting of that body. Should you have any questions about this law, contact the Clerk's Office or Board/Committee Attorney with your concern. 26 ~ 0: ~ '" , EX-PARTE COMMUNICATIONS ~ ~ , , ~ "" 4'" ~ '" X' ~"," A '"" m: , Pursuant to 9286.0115 Florida Statutes the City enacted Resolution No. 97-5 which removes the presumption of prejudice from ex-parte communications with local officials (meaning elected or appointed) by establishing the following process to disclose such communications: 1. All disclosures must be made before final action on a matter is taken. 2. Any person may discuss, through any means of communication, orally or written, with any Board/Committee Member the merits of any matter on which action may be taken. 3. The Board/Committee Member must identify the person, group or entity with whom the communication took place and it must be made part of the official record. 4. If a written communication, the Board/Committee Member must provide the original document to the Board/Committee Secretary and it must be made part of the official record. 5. Board/Committee Members may conduct investigations, site visits and receive expert opinions so long as the information obtained in the investigation, visit or opinion is disclosed and made part of the public record. 27 CONFLICT OF INTEREST ! ""~ ~~, ~<, , "''<W "!it " Generally, a conflict of interest exists when a Board/Committee Member influences a decision of the Board/Committee that will (or has the potential to) materially affect the individual's financial interest. Questions involving conflicts of interest are each unique unto themselves, and each potential conflict must be considered individually in order for proper legal guidance to be given. Any Board/Committee Member who has a question concerning a possible conflict of interest may contact the City Clerk's Office or a private attorney, and should do so immediately. If a Member of a Board/Committee finds that their personal interests are involved in the matter coming before the Board/Committee, they shall disqualify themselves from participation in that case. No Board/Committee Member shall appear before the City Councilor any Board/Committee established by the Land Development Regulations, as an agent or attorney for any person in a matter involving planning, zoning or the Land Development Regulations. , " ",\; ~ l".' ft~I"'ilA-' ",," '" ~ , '" ..,. ...

Sounds like the start of a bad joke, but it really happened. And the trip was legal as long as they didn't discuss public business. Florida's Sunshine Law forbids members of local boards to talk together about public business outside of public meetings. On March 9, Tallahassee Mayor John Marks, School Board member Dee Crumpler and County Commissioners Ed DePuy and Bryan Desloge took a two-hour trip down the 51. Marks River on Crumpler's 20-foot fishing boat, the ABCD. They said Rick Moore of Moore Bass Consulting won the boat ride as a prize after placing a winning bid during a fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Project of Tallahassee Inc., a nonprofit. All four of the elected officials say they didn't discuss public business. "What we can't discuss is stuff that we're going to be talking about (as a County Commission)," Desloge said. The law "doesn't say we can't get together - It would prevent us from doing anything." While the Sunshine Law allows elected officials of the same board to get together socially, such private meetings can raise concerns because no one but the officials know whether public business is being discussed. Desloge and DePuy are on the County CommiSSion together. Marks sits 011 the Blueprint 200'0 board with both of them. Adria Harper, director of the First Amendment Foundation in Tallahassee, said elected officials can avoid the appearance of impropriety if the boards they sit on have strong policies to inform the public every time they get together to discuss public business. Meanwhile, no public notice was given for a meeting Wednesday at City Hall of County Commission chairmen and city mayors from Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson and Wakulla counties. Marks, who organized the meeting, said he wanted to have an "uninhibited" meeting on regional issues. . City Attorney Jim English said he advised that the meeting didn't have to be publicly announced. DePuy and Delores Madison, the mayor of Midway, sit on a regional transportation planning board together. And while the discussion was generic, it Included several references to regional transportation proposals - including developing a regional eco-tourism vision with a focus on bike paths. That could be enough to violate the sunshine requirements, Harper said. "Any discussion about foreseeable publiC busin~.??_f2~ld implicate the Sunshine law," she said. "I~ broad. " " '" , " She adde~Ub9.1DgJi9iQ91b~J]e~ti.09..w~~t.b,~_duty .ofo,fficials wOo sit 9(1 the same board - in this case, ...:-5' DePuy and Madison - and not that of the person hgLdlo.9Jb&J11eeting. . ~. \)J:o- ~ ~ ~.R 'S DePuy said he felt he'd done nothing wrong - he pointed out that no specific transportation planning :::v ~ agency business was discussed, and that he didn't even know who would show up. 'S' But in retrospect, he said, the public should have known about the meeting. "I assumed we were going to have an open meeting," he said. DePuy added that he won't attend the regional meetings anymore if they're not publicly announced. l tJ'I 0-<) Credibility Sunshine promotes trust Tallahassee Democrat Editorial, 3/27 It is nothing new for newly elected public officials to think that the Sunshine laws of Florida can be an impediment to good government. Som6'times they might be, if not an impediment certainly an inconvenient hoop to jump through. If pUb/j,c officials could meet behind closed doors to candidly hash out terms and conditions of public policy, maybe they could skip the tap dancing in public meetings - trying to discern if they have a majority of fellow commissioners in their corner. Meetings might be shorter. And wherl1 it comes to hiring executives for top administrative posts, it could be easier if the public didn't have to know every darn thing about the applicants - who in turn might not want it known at their current job that they are seeking a better position. More people might apply. Yet time and again, for years on end, Florida's public-records and open-meetings laws have proven their value in the marketplace of public opinion. They are all about credibility - and, for officials, avoiding even the appearance of impropriety. Voters and taxpayers will have more confidence in policies when they know the pros and cons are hashed out in an open forum, when they know the paperwork is available for scrutiny, when they have reason to believe that deals have not been made in advance of a vote - for who-knows-what payback or horse-trading behi.nd the scenes. That's why it's important for officials to follow not only the letter of the Sunshine law, but also its spirit, especially when gray' areas arise such as social occasions. Appearances matter On March 9, for examplt~, Tallahassee Mayor John Marks, School Board member Dee Crumpler and County Commissioners Ed DePuy and Bryan Desloqe went on a boat trip down the St. Marks River with Rick Moore of Moore Bass Consulting, an engineering firm, to fulfill Mr. Moore's winning bid at a fundraiser. There was no public notice of this get-together, and all members of the boating party said they didn't talk business that day.

And they're wise to do it even if they specifically plan ot to discuss public business. -------...--... .-.."._---.._._~_.- T,he danQer in these pleasant events, which do help officeholders get to know each other "off campus," is that the public really doesn't know what or who!nJ9.,beJieve.. And if at the next County Commission meeting, for example, a topic comes up that seems resolved a Iitt/e too neatly, or incorrectly in the eyes of some citizens, commissioners who meet socially outside of the Sunshine might not be given the benefit of the doubt. While it's not inconceivable that commissioners on local boards become close personal friends, get- togethers such as the boating trip are not much different from the picnic held by church members who have little else in common except their church. It's possible that no one would utter a word about the church, yet why wouldn't they if that was their prime area of mutual concern? In an abundance of caution, and to avoid even the perception of secretiveness, local officials who were on the same boards ought to give public notice of such outings. Mr. Desloge and Mr. DePuy are on the Couri'ty Commission together. Mr. Marks sits on the Blueprint 2000 board with both of them. First Amendment Foundation director Adria Harper, whose organization has dealt with countless gray areas encountered by public officials statewide, advises having strong policies about informin~ the public of get-togethers where any discussion at all about public business, present or future, might come up. Local board attorneys correctly tell_fQmmissions_-Yv..b~Q they don't have to Qive public ~~tice, b~t they'd be better advised to avoid even the aJ;mearance of impropii~. In our culture of skeetJclsm, thiS credibility in$urance would cost them nothinQ - anc:L could gnly- serve their reputations well.
