ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE
Mr. Jim LaRue, of LaRue Planning and Management, City Planning Consultant, addressed the
Board by reviewing Planning Staff s recommendations regarding the petition. This use is an
authorized use as a Special Exception in a Heavy Commercial (CHV) zoning district.
Mr. Roger Elgin, applicant, addressed the Board requesting approval The Board members
questioned the use in regards to commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, major repairs, and hours of
operation. The Board Members and the applicant came to the conclusion that the following
conditions would apply: A one ton weight limit. No major body work. Hours of operation would
be from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
McCoy moved to approve Petition 03-005-SE with the agreed up conditions as
based on Planning Staff s recommendation, seconded by Board Member Keller.

MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Jim LaRue addressed the Board by reviewing Planning Staffs regarding the petition. Mr.
LaRue informed the Board that State Law does provide for low intensive special housing facilities
within all residential areas regardless of zoning. However, this request is not compatible with a
Single-Family environment. Although special needs housing normally is not a deterrent to
development of nearby properties, the intensity of the proposed use might adversely impact the
Single-Family character ofthe neighborhood. The intensity ofthis facility with 10-12 residents,
and five employees would be more taxing on public infrastructure than is normally contemplated
in a Single-Family District. It appears that the existing residence is served by a septic system. It
is not known what the traffic congestion would be considering employees and potential visitors
even though residents would probably not be driving. The traffic would potentially be more
intensive than is contemplated within a Single-Family District. Mr. LaRue is recommending that
Petition No. 03-006-SE be denied based on the findings contained in the Planning Staffs Report

Faye Haverlock, the applicant, addressed the Board sharing the background of the home. Mrs.
Haverlock stated that the property is on septic system and that they have three nine-hundred gallon
septic tanks. She introduced her Independent Consultant, Keith Gibson, who addressed the Board
stating that the landscape of the community will not change. The purpose of an Assisted Living
Facility is more of a social home, than a health care facility. There will be no special needs patients
there, just elderly needing some assistance due to being unable to live alone.
Attorney John Cook, questioned Mr. Gibson regarding the requirements for the staff per the
amount of patients, as well as what agency this facility will be governed by. Mr. Gibson responded
that this facility will be governed by the Agency for Health Care Administration and that there are
no staff requirements as long as you meet the elderly's needs. The capacity of this facility will be
10 to12 residents. Mr. Gibson stated that the surrounding property owner's should not be
concerned about their property value going down. Attorney Cook advised that the Board can limit
the amount of elderly, as well as the amount of future expansion.
I
Surrounding property owner, Peggy Hunt, presented the Board with a map ofthe surrounding area
indicating which property owners did not approve of the petition. Additional surrounding property
owners who also addressed the Board were, Mr. Williams who stated that he does not want the
neighborhood to change to commercial uses. Mr. Will Russ, commented on the septic tank issue,
stating that the septic tanks are not meant for dozens of people to be living in the home. He also
discussed the traffic problems that this could cause, due to SW 15th Street being so narrow, the
traffic is already a problem there. There is not adequate parking there. He also questioned where
the visitors will park Ms. Gisela Vavra re-iterated the traffic problems with the library, movie
theater, the Dialysis Center, as well as SW 15th Street being a "cut-thru" for the SW Section of
town. At that time, Mr. LaRue informed the Board that a traffic impact study had not been
completed at that time

Board Member McCoy stated that the Health Department would deal with the septic tank issue,
and he agreed, traffic congestion is an issue for that street. Mr. LaRue commented that the Petition
could be tabled for a traffic impact study.
He also commented about the level of intensity, and
questioned the Board if this use was compatible with Residential Single Family (RSF) zoning.
Attorney Cook discussed the options with the Board Members, and reminded them that the
applicants have the right to have this type of use in a Residential Single Family (RSF) zoning
district. You have to base your vote on the information, not that the neighbors oppose it. Vice-
Chairperson Ledferd suggested the Board did not have enough information regarding the intensity
of the use for a decision at this time, would like more information.

City Planning Consultant, Jim LaRue, addressed the Board by briefly explaining the purpose of the
petition. Mr. LaRue reminded the Board that they initially requested more information from the
applicant including a Traffic Impact Study, as well as verification of the septic tanks. There were
letters submitted to the Board from the City Fire Chief, Okeechobee County Health Department,
and the Okeechobee Utility Authority. Keith Tomey, Fire Chief Tomey, stated that he found
nothing in the Fire Codes which would not allow the Special Exception. Ed Trent, Okeechobee
County Health Department, submitted a letter to the Board explaining that the residence has
adequate septic tank capacity, but the drainfields must be enlarged to meet the increase in sewage
flow. Lyn Lowe, Okeechobee Utility Authority, stated that sewer is not available at this time for
the property.
I
Vikki Aaron, representative of Southern Plantation, explained to the Board that Florida is a big
state for retiree's and that some need to receive the care from an Assisted Living Facility. The
function of an Assisted Living Facility is to bridge the gap between a nursing home and
independent living. Ms. Aaron explained that she researched a similar Assisted Living Facility that
is located in R-Bar Estates, in Okeechobee County. There was no decrease in the property value
of the Assisted Living Facility, or the surrounding properties. Ms. Aaron also called the
surrounding property owners, she spoke to four out of the ten that she tried to reach. There were
no problems reported.

The Board asked Mr. LaRue whether he had considered the previously submitted drawing, and in
turn had that drawing affected his determination in the Staff Report? Mr. LaRue answered that
he considered the application and request itself, not the drawing. He explained that the Board was
not to consider future plans of the property, but to focus on the current request for Special
Exception to allow an Assisted Living Facility in a Residential Single Family neighborhood.
Board Attorney, advised that the application is acceptable by State Law, providing that there are
proper licences issued. The Board needs to focus on the compatibility of the function/business in
the planning aspect. State Statutes allow for up to five (5) adults, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
under Section 400. Once the facility is licensed and operating, the owners could not expand the
facility without coming to the City for approval prior to the expansion.

Mrs. Haverlock explained that Dunklin Rest Home will be closing in December, and that she needs
a place to move the current residents. The existing Assisted Living Facility at Dunklin does not
have traffic issues, ambulances do come occasionally, but they go in every neighborhood
occasionally, not only if an Assisted Living Facility is located there. Mrs. Haverlock wants to use
this beautiful home to share with the elderly and to utilize all of the space that is available. The
proposed home has plenty of room to place 2 residents per room, allowing for 12 residents
Scott Herring, Engineer for Southern Plantation, completed the Traffic Impact Study. He explained
to the Board that an average single family home generates 10 trips per day, and that the Assisted
Living Facility would generate approximately 26 trips a day. He also explained that visits during
peak traveling hours with be minimal. Board Member Ledferd questioned whether the traffic study
included the surrounding traffic of the neighborhood? Mr. Herring answered, no the study did not,
only a trip study for the Assisted Living Facility itself.

Will Russ, Geisla Vavra, Joe Arnold, and Peggy Hunt are surrounding property owners and
requested that the Board Members deny the petition. Each person explained that this facility would
definitely increase the traffic due to delivery trucks, employees, and visitors. The drawing that was
previously submitted showing the additional four buildings was also a concern, the surrounding
property owners did not want this facility to be approved. They were concerned if the facility was
approved, that Mrs. Haverlock would expand to a larger facility and continue to impact existing
problems with traffic and drainage
City Attorney Cook explained that an Assisted Living Facility is a special exception use within a
Residential Single Family zoning district. He instructed the Board to consider if the petition is
compatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. LaRue also requested that the Board consider whether the petition was compatible with the
single family neighborhood, and whether it would be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Board Member Ledferd thanked everyone for coming and for their comments. He explained that
the Board needed to make their decision based on the City Code and the factual findings.

Southern Plantation of Okeechobee, Ine.
309 SW 15th Street, Okeechobee, Florida 34974
September 17, 2003
Statement of special reasons and basis for the request.
The existing Dunklin Assisted Living Facility, 407 NW 2nd Ave., is on property
owned by the County and is slated to become a parking area for the new Okeechobee
County Court House Complex. All current residents will have to be moved to a new
I0cation.
The building located at 309 SW 15th Street is a landmark of past history created by
the late Charles McArthur. This 7,000 square foot Colonial Style structure would be a
beautiful home where elderly citizens could enjoy the secure pool, patio and garden areas
which feature tropical landscaping and birds of many colors.
Over the past three years, my husband, Hershel, and I have spent many hours
repairing and restoring this lovely home and have enjoyed its spaciousness. As you may
imagine, it is way too much house for two people and we believe it is not being utilized
to its potential. What a beautiful setting for our beloved seniors to enjoy.
Our elderly Okeechobee residents, who need such a place to reside, will live in an
environment providing the highest quality of life possible while ensuring safety, privacy
and dignity. Having been in the assisted living business here in Okeechobee for many
years, Hershel and I truly understand the need for such a place and ask for your support
~oward making this dream a reality.
Sincerely;

the NE ¼ of NW ¼ of NE ¼ of Section 28, Township 37 South, Range 35 East; said
property lying and being in Okeechobee County, Florida.
The matter for consideration by the City of Okeechobee Board of Adjustment is an
application requesting a Special Exception to operate an assisted living residential facility
in the Residential Single Family Zoning District for property located on 309 S.W. 15th
Street.
The subject property is approximately 2.12 acre(s) fronting on S.W. 15th Street which is
subject to this Special Use Exception petition. The applicant intends to restore a house,
pool, patio and garden area. The dwelling has public water and the adjoining property users
are as follows:
North: Residential Single Family
East: Residential Single Family
South: Residential Single Family
West: Residential Single Family
When reaching a conclusion on a Special Exception, the Board of Adjustment shall
consider and show in its record the following:
Page -{ PAGE )-
Staff Report Applicant's Name: Southem~lantation of Okeechobee
Special Exception Request Petition No. 03-006-SE
A. The use is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements.
There are several Comprehensive Plan Policies and objectives that speak to
"Special Housing" needs and the City's responsibility to ensure adequate
siting for such developments. Policy 5.1 speaks of special housing needing
to be at a density scale compatible with surrounding residential densities.
The special Exception request is at a level that is incompatible with
surrounding residential densities.
{ SEQ CHAPTER ~h ~r 1}Policy 5.1: The principles and criteria for siting DOH
licensed or -funded group homes and foster care
facilities shall be as follows:
· to ensure that group homes and foster care facilities
of a residential scale will be located in areas of
residential character;
· zoning shall not be used to prohibit such facilities of a
residential scale in areas of residential character so
long as proposed facilities are compatible with
surrounding residential densities; and
· to provide clients of such facilities adequate public
facilities and services on the basis of a fair-share
distribution of costs.
B. The use is specifically authorized as a Special Exception use in the zoning
district.
The use as requested does fall under the Special Exception uses listed in this
zoning district.
C. The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
The public interest would be better served in a location that is more
appropriate in residential scale such as a multi-family environment.
D. The use is appropriate for the proposed location, is reasonably compatible
with adjacent uses and is not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns.
State Law does provide for low intensive special housing facilities within all
residential areas regardless of zoning. However, this request is not
compatible with a Single-Family environment.
E. The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be
a deterrent to the development ofadjacentproperty.
Although special need housing normally is not a deterrent to development of
nearby properties the intensity of the proposed use might adversely impact
the Single-Family character of the neighborhood.
Page -{ PAGE }-
Staff Report Applicant's Name: Southern Plantation of Okeechobee
Special Exception Request Petition No. 03-006-SE
F. The use may be required to be screened from surrounding uses to reduce the
impact of any nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses.
Screening would not appreciably reduce the intensity of this project.
G. The use will not create a density pattern that will overburden public
facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services.
The intensity of this facility with 10-12 residents, and five employees would
be more taxing on public infrastructure than is normally contemplated in a
Single-Family District. It appears that the existing residence is served by a
septic system.
H. The use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or
otherwise affect public safety.
It is not known what the traffic congestion would be considering employees
and potential visitors even though residents would probably not be driving.
The traffic would potentially be more intensive than is contemplated within
a Single-Family District.

Re: Request for Special Exception of Property located at
309 SW 15th Street, Okeechobee, Florida
Date: I 0/14/03
Attached are copies of letters that we received from Faye A. Haverlock, President
of South Plantation of Okeechobee, Inc. advising that she was seeking a Special
Exception for her property at 309 SW 15th Street. The residents listed feel that the
granting of this Special Exception would have a negative impact on our
neighborhood for the following reasons:
1. We fee! that an assisted living facility in a residential neighborhood would
reduce our property value.
2. The increase of motor traffic would be detrimental. An assisted living residence
would require the delivery of laundry, food, and various other supplies as well as
emergency vehicles. The residents would also have to be transported to their
medical appointments. Traffic would also be increased by staff workers. This is a
special concern because there are small children living on an adjoining lot as well
as directly across the street. There are also many children that use our street going
to the library. Many of these children walk and others ride bikes and skateboards.
3. We have concerns about the size or the number of septic tanks that would be
required for such a facility since SW 15th Street is not connected to the city sewer
system. The house already had seven-and-a-half bathrooms.
4. A serious concern is the disposal of hazardous waste materials.
5. Obviously a parking facility for staff and visitors would have to be provided.
Additional illumination would have to be provided since the facility would have
shift workers that would come and go during the evening or early morning hours.
We feel that this increased illumination would commercialize our neighborhood.
6. We belive that it would be inconsistent with proper city planning to have
"income producing" property within a residential neighborhood.
We hope that you will give your utmost consideration to our concerns. We will be
present at the meeting on October 28, 2003, to let you know how strongly we feel
about this matter.
Respectively,

Dear Property Owner;
Please be advised that Southern Plantation of Okeechobee, Inc., owner of the property located at
309 SW 15th Street in Okeechobee, will be filing an application for a Special Exception, allowing the
establishment of an ALF (Assisted Living Facility) on the site, with the City of Okeechobee Board of
Adjustments, Land Planning Agency and Planning Board at their regularly scheduled hearing date of
October 7 or 21, 2003.
This application is in compliance with the current zoning of RSF1 (Residential Single-Family).
Under Sec. 90-103. Special exception uses: "The following uses and structures are permitted in the
RSF 1 district after the issuance of a special exception use petition: (2) Adult family care homes or
assisted living facilities as provided by law." If approved, the new facility will have minimal impact on
the area including motor vehicle traffic.
If you, as registered owner of the property listed above, have any questions or reservations toward
the granting of this Special Exception, please contact Faye Haverlock at (863) 357-2442 before 5 pm
Monday, September 22, 2003 prior to the filing on Tuesday, September 23, 2003.

Special Exception petition.

Dear Neighbors;
The building located at 309 SW 15th Street is a landmark of past history created by
the late Charles MeArthur. This 7,000 square foot Colonial Style structure would be a
beautiful home where elderly citizens could enjoy the secure pool, patio and garden areas
which feature tropical landscaping and birds of many colors.
Over the past three years, my husband, Hershel, and I have spent many hours
repairing and restoring this lovely home and have enjoyed its spaciousness. As you may
imagine, it is way too much house for two people and we believe it is not being utilized
to its potential. What a beautiful setting for our beloved seniors to enjoy.
Our elderly Okeechobee residents, who need such a place to reside, will live in an
environment providing the highest quality of life possible while ensuring safety, privacy
and dignity. Having been in the assisted living business here in Okeeehobee for many
years, Hershel and I truly understand the need for such a place and ask for your support
toward making this dream a reality.
Sincerely;
Faye Havedock
