PUBLIC HEARING - DETERMINATION OF USE IN B-2 ZONE ON OKALOOSA ISLAND Mr. Stanford read the advertised legal notice for public hearing to determine if a proposed mini golf course will be allowed ina B-2 Zone on Okaloosa Island. B-2 Zones are for apartments, hotel courts, and hotel areas. The subject property is located on the north side of Santa Rosa Boulevard in Fort Walton Beach and contains 0.65 acre. Mr. Stewart advised this is a quasi-judicial proceeding and anyone desiring to speak should now stand and be sworn in. He then asked the commissioners if they have any disclosures on this issue. Mr. Parisot replied that he spoke with Vince Bruner by telephone and there have been email contacts. Mr. Harris reported limited communication with Mr. Bruner. Mr. Amunds said he had contact with citizens in the Okaloosa Island Leaseholders Association. Mr. Boyles reported having emails on this issue. Mr. Windes stated he had email communication with Mr. Bruner. Mr. Stewart directed staff to collect the emails to be made part of the record. He also stated the legal analysis will be made part of the record. August 19, 2014 -3- Minute Book 71, Page 221 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners (NOTE: As of date of submission of minutes for approval, copies of the emails have not been provided to the Clerk’s Office for the record. ) Mr. Elliot Kampert, Growth Management Director, stated staff received inquiry from a prospective buyer of Lots 17, 18 and 19 of Block 2 in Okaloosa Island Subdivision, zoned B-2, who desires to develop a putt-putt style mini golf course and associated concession area. The Okaloosa Island Covenants provide for (1) duplex residences - apartments, (2) hotels, (3) tourists or hotel courts, and (4) apartment housing in B-2 Zones. The following text was provided: Affiliated services built in conjunction with, and within the same plan as (2, (3), and (4) above, such services being as newsstands, barber shops, beauty shops, dining rooms, drug shop, rental boat basin, delicatessens, fill- ing stations, variety shops, clothing shops, flower shops and other shops as may be deemed necessary and proper by Okaloosa County from time to time, to serve the needs of tourists and vacationists. Mr. Kampert pointed out putt-putt golf is not among the enumerated uses and affiliated services. The Okaloosa Island Leaseholders Association Architectural Review Committee met on June 26, 2014 and found the use inconsistent with the Covenants. However, the group endorsed the proposed use as “a good land use and advantageous to island tourism” and recommended’ the applicant seek a “variance” to the Covenants from the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Kampert advised the presentation to the OILA did not include a concession area. He added a previously discussed game arcade has been withdrawn from the proposal by the applicant. Mr. Kampert advised the Covenants do provide the Board with some flexibility in interpreting and enforcing the covenants and referred to Part G.8 of the document. He also detailed previous Board action in 1992 allowing leaseholders to convert their interest to fee simple titles. Mr. Kampert noted the property owner has joined the perspective buyer in this request. The potential buyer is petitioning the Board to allow the development as a stand-alone putt-putt golf course. He stated this is not a variance, explaining that term applies to the county’s Land Development Code. A variance is a hardship, typically whereby an owner is being denied a use to August 19, 2014 -4- Minute Book 71, Page 222 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners which he/she would otherwise be entitled and which is enjoyed by other owners of property in the same zone. Mr. Kampert stated staff has no objection to the request. However, staff does recommend the following considerations for approval: (1) any lighting used for the golf course, concession area, and any associated on-site parking, pedestrian, landscaping or vehicular circulation areas be Dark Sky certified and (2) there be no sale of alcoholic beverages. Mr. Windes asked citizens who desire to speak to limit their comments to two or three minutes and try not to be repetitive of comments already voiced. Mr. Vince Bruner, Yacht Club Drive in Fort Walton Beach, stated Mr. Kampert outlined the proposal very well. He said he is a hotel owner and many in the audience tonight work in the tourist industry and are here to support the proposal. Mr. Bruner said Okaloosa Island has beautiful beaches but not many recreational activities for our guests. He said the putt-putt course would be a good family activity. Mr. Keith Kozar stated he moved from Destin to Okaloosa Island, saying it is quiet and clean. He did not feel Okaloosa Island would be a good place for the proposed activity. Ms. Beth Ann Adams stated the mini golf course will he landscaped with native vegetation, there will be no loud music, Dark Sky lighting will be used, and no alcohol will be sold. She stressed this will not be like a carnival. Mr. Jack Bruner, Yacht Club Drive, said Okaloosa Island could use a golf course and an ice cream spot. Ms. Mildred Edward, Coral Drive, said she does not think a mini golf course should be on the Island. She had concerns about people crossing the street to get to the course. Mr. Sonny Richards Smart, Amberjack Drive, said in the 1980s a small golf course was started and became an adventure park. He posed questions on traffic congestion, parking, sidewalks, and location of adult establishments in the area. Mr. Greg Burdette, Barracuda Avenue, stated there are no sidewalks on the gulf side of the highway and no crosswalks at August 19, 2014 -5- Minute Book 71, Page 223 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners the beach accessways. He expressed concerns that it would not be safe for people to walk to the golf course. Ms. Stacy Glover, Barracuda Avenue, stated she lives next door to the site and it would be good to have something wholesome on Okaloosa Island. She said there are not enough child-oriented activities on the Island. Mr. Harry Gornto, Fort Walton Beach, stated he supports this wholesome activity and it would be nice to have something closer to do rather than going to Destin. The public comment portion of the hearing was closed. Mr. Harris said he would rather see this type activity on Okaloosa Island. Mr. Parisot referred to the concerns expressed about crosswalks and asked Mr. Bruner if he is willing to fund a crosswalk. Mr. Bruner replied, “if there is a reasonable cost.” Upon further inquiry by Mr. Parisot, Mr. Bruner answered that he will construct sidewalks in front of the golf course. Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Harris, to allow the proposed mini golf course with the conditions recommended by staff for Dark Sky lighting and prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages. Mr. Boyles said we have learned a great deal about zoning laws since the creation of these zones on Okaloosa Island in the 1950s. He recommended the motion amend the zoning code as it relates to these three lots to allow a broader commercial use and not to place stipulations on the approval at this point but to address them during the development order process. Upon inquiry by Mr. Windes, Mr. Parisot stated his motion stands. Mr. Parisot commented that Mr. Bruner agreed to those conditions. The vote was taken— 5 yeas.

Mr. John Hofstad, Public Works Director, stated the draft ordinance is specifically for golf carts in the Lake Lorraine Subdivision. He said a town hall meeting held in May to discuss this issue with neighborhood residents was heavily attended. Mr. Hofstad stated there was overwhelming support for the proposal, noting less than 10% opposed the idea. He advised that he worked with the County Attorney to craft the ordinance which is similar to the golf cart ordinance adopted for Rocky Bayou Country Club in 2012. Mr. Harry Wild and Mr. Byron Cotton, both of Meigs Drive, came forward to voice their support for the ordinance. Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Boyles, to adopt an ordinance authorizing use of golf carts within Lake Lorraine Subdivision, as well as establishing requirements and restrictions for such use. 5 yeas.
