4 Town of Lake Placid CRA History Lake Placid, Florida was formerly named "Lake Stearns" on December 1, 1925. Dr. Melvin Dewey, the inventor of the Dewey Decimal System, and the founder of the Lake Placid Club in Lake Placid, New York, proposed that Lake Stearns change its name to "Lake Placid". On April 29, 1927, the Lake Stearns Commissioners accepted Dr. Dewey's proposal. On June 6, 1927, the community was chartered as the Town of Lake Placid. Lake Placid is located in Highlands County, Florida, United States. Downtown Lake Placid is rich in history and is famous for the murals located throughout the town. Lake Placid is also known as the “Caladium Capital of the World” and in January 2019 was considered one of America’s Most Interesting Towns by the Reader’s Digest. Lake Placid is the smallest of three incorporated local governments in Highlands County. According to the 2020 Census, Lake Placid population was 2,557 persons and is growing. Finding of Necessity The Town of Lake Placid (the Town) and members of the community had identified, through an analysis of existing conditions and the development of a Finding of Necessity (the FON) study, an area of the Town for which redevelopment activities (as defined in F.S. 163 Part III) are both desired and necessary to eliminate certain blighted conditions. On December 17, 2017, the Lake Placid Redevelopment District was created, along with a redevelopment plan for the adopted redevelopment area. Mission The mission of the Town of Lake Placid Community Redevelopment Agency is to eliminate and prevent conditions of slum and blight by funding eligible infrastructure projects such as: new sidewalks and sidewalk improvements; roadwork including repaving and new roads; traffic calming; storm water improvements; street lighting and other street improvements; water and wastewater collection and treatment system improvements, and other CRA-identified infrastructure. Projects consistent with the goals and objectives of the plan are eligible and are listed as short-term and long-term projects in this plan. An amendment to the list of eligible projects requires a supermajority vote of the CRA Board. The CRA Board members are the same members as the Lake Placid Town Council and two members of the public.

TOWN OF LAKE PLACID AGENDA ITEM INTRODUCTION Meeting Date * Meeting Type * Agenda Item # Agenda Item Title * Placed on Agenda By: * Statement of Issue: * 2026-03-16 Town Council-Regular 5.A. LPTC.26.001, Request for consideration of a variance to the architectural design standards for a water dispensing facility at 70 Plaza Ave., Lake Placid, FL 33852. Planning Director- Dana Riddell The applicant is requesting a variance from the primary facade requirements of the Town’s Architectural Design Standards (Section 154-17) for a property located at 70 Plaza Ave., Lake Placid, FL 33852. The request for consideration is for a variance from the primary façade requirements of the Commercial Architectural Standards to allow zero (0) entrances facing a public street instead of the minimum of one (1) required entrance, zero percent (0%) glazing instead of the required 30%, and a zero (0) square-foot porch instead of the required 100 square feet. The proposed structure is a small, automated water vending kiosk that does not function as a traditional commercial building intended for human occupancy. Because the Town’s architectural standards were primarily designed to regulate larger commercial buildings, certain requirements are not practical to apply to this type of equipment-based structure. Fiscal Impact * Yes No Unknown Fiscal Impact Amount * Recommended Motion None Move to approve LPTC.26.001, to allow a variance from the Architectural Design Standards to allow zero (0) entrances facing a public street instead of the minimum of one (1) required entrance, zero percent (0%) glazing instead of the required 30%, and a zero (0) square-foot porch instead of the required 100 square feet.

Town of Lake Placid 1069 US 27, Lake Placid, Florida 33852 Date: March 16, 2026 To: Lake Placid Town Council From: Dana Riddell, Town Planner Subject: LPTC.26.001, Request for consideration of a variance to the architectural design standards for a water dispensing facility at 70 Plaza Ave., Lake Placid, FL 33852. General Information: Location: 70 Plaza Ave. (Parcel ID # P-31-36-30-A00-0322-0000), on the east side of US Hwy 27, between Tower St. and Plaza Ave., Lake Placid, Florida. Request: Request for consideration of a variance from the primary façade requirements of the Commercial Architectural Standards to allow zero (0) entrances facing a public street instead of the minimum of one (1) required entrance, zero percent (0%) glazing instead of the required 30%, and a zero (0) square-foot porch instead of the required 100 square feet. Attachments: Application, Location Map, Aerial Map, Future Land Use Map, Zoning Map Staff Recommendation: Move to approve LPTC.26.001, to allow a variance from the Architectural Design Standards to allow zero (0) entrances facing a public street instead of the minimum of one (1) required entrance, zero percent (0%) glazing instead of the required 30%, and a zero (0) square-foot porch instead of the required 100 square feet. Supplemental Material/Issue Analysis Report: 1. Background & Overview: The subject property is developed with a shopping plaza located at 70 Plaza Ave. within the Town limits. The applicant proposes to construct a 107.5 square-foot water dispensing facility on Lots 13 and 12 of the subject property. The water dispensing facility will be a stand-alone, unmanned, self-service facility and is

P:\PLANNING-ZONING-LANDDEVELOPMENT\Lake Placid-FromCountyDocuments\1-Applications\2026\LPTC.26.001 Watermill (Arch Design Variance)\Staff Report\Staff Report.docx categorized as a commercial building under Section 154-17 of the Town Code, which requires the following: A. Buildings located along a public or private street or pedestrian right-of-way shall be designed with an entrance to the building or an entry courtyard facing or abutting the street or pedestrian right-of-way. B. Design features. The design of the primary facades shall include, at a minimum, two (2) of the following design features: i. Glazing covering at a minimum thirty (30) percent of the primary facade area, consisting of window and glazed door openings. ii. Projected, or recessed covered public entry providing a minimum horizontal dimension of eight (8) feet, and a minimum area of one hundred (100) square feet. iii. Covered walkway, or arcade (excluding canvas type). The structure shall be permanent, and its design shall relate to the principal structure. The minimum width shall be eight (8) feet, with a total length measuring sixty (60) percent of the length of the associated facade. By its nature and scale, the proposed structure is unable to meet the above- mentioned façade design requirements. First, the facility does not contain an occupied interior space or customer-oriented entrance; it functions as an automated, exterior-access use where patrons remain outside the structure. As such, it cannot be designed with a meaningful building entrance or entry courtyard facing or abutting a public or private street or pedestrian right-of-way, as required by subsection (A). Additionally, the required façade design features in subsection (B) are incompatible with the physical and operational characteristics of the structure. Providing glazing covering a minimum of 30 percent of the primary façade would be functionally unnecessary and impractical for a utility-type facility with no interior retail or customer space, and would raise security, durability, and maintenance concerns. Likewise, the requirement for a projected or recessed covered public entry with a minimum horizontal dimension of eight feet and a minimum area of 100 square feet would be almost the same size as the building area, resulting in the porch out of scale with the building structure. Similarly, a permanent covered walkway or arcade with a minimum width of eight feet and extending 60 percent of the façade length is not feasible for a structure of this limited size and is inconsistent with its self-service, kiosk-style operation. The ordinance standards are clearly intended for traditional, occupiable commercial buildings designed for pedestrian entry and active street frontage. Applying these requirements to a 107.5 square foot, automated water dispensing facility creates dimensional and functional conflicts that make compliance impracticable.

P:\PLANNING-ZONING-LANDDEVELOPMENT\Lake Placid-FromCountyDocuments\1-Applications\2026\LPTC.26.001 Watermill (Arch Design Variance)\Staff Report\Staff Report.docx The applicant proposes to maintain architectural cohesion through compliant building materials, earth-tone colors, and a 35-square foot metal awning. 2. Staff Analysis A. Consistency With Architectural Standards Intent The architectural standards set forth in Section 154-17 of the Town Code are intended to promote a high-quality design for traditional, occupiable commercial buildings that include interior customer spaces and active building entrances along streets or pedestrian ways. While the proposed water dispensing facility is classified as a commercial building for regulatory purposes, its form and function differ substantially from the building types contemplated by these standards. The proposed structure is a small-scale, automated, kiosk-style facility that does not contain interior customer space, retail floor area, or a pedestrian entrance. As such, strict application of entrance-oriented and façade articulation requirements would not further the underlying design objectives of the ordinance. Instead, the applicant proposes to meet the intent of the architectural standards by maintaining architectural compatibility with the code to the extent feasible through the use of approved building materials, finishes, earth-tone colors, hidden rooftop equipment, and an awning in scale with the proposed building size. Accordingly, while the proposed structure does not meet the prescriptive façade elements outlined in Section 154-17, it remains consistent with the overall intent of the architectural standards by contributing to an orderly, cohesive, and visually compatible commercial environment. Finding: The alternative design remains generally consistent with the intent of the standards. B. Purpose and Intent of the Code Not Nullified Granting relief from the façade design requirements in this instance does not nullify the purpose or intent of the Land Development Regulations. The code continues to be applied uniformly to conventional commercial buildings for which the standards were designed. This request is limited to a uniquely small, automated structure whose operational characteristics make literal compliance impracticable and unnecessary to achieve the ordinance’s goals. Approval of the proposed design would not establish a precedent for larger or occupiable commercial buildings to circumvent architectural standards, as the constraints cited herein are directly tied to the limited size, utility-type function, and unmanned operation of the facility.

P:\PLANNING-ZONING-LANDDEVELOPMENT\Lake Placid-FromCountyDocuments\1-Applications\2026\LPTC.26.001 Watermill (Arch Design Variance)\Staff Report\Staff Report.docx Finding: The intent of the code—to ensure quality design, compatibility, and orderly development—remains intact and is not undermined by allowing alternative compliance for this specific structure. C. Public Interest The proposed structure will not adversely affect public interest. The facility is small in scale, generates minimal traffic, does not require interior occupancy, and will be located within an existing developed shopping plaza that already accommodates commercial activity. The use of durable materials, neutral colors, and a design that complements the existing plaza minimizes visual impacts and avoids incompatibility with surrounding development. The proposal does not adversely affect public safety, pedestrian circulation, or neighborhood character and does not diminish the use or enjoyment of nearby properties. Finding: The requested variance upholds the public interest. D. Comprehensive Plan Consistency The proposed development is generally consistent with the goals and policies of the Town’s Comprehensive Plan that encourage efficient use of existing commercial properties, infill development, and reinvestment within established commercial areas. The subject property is already developed with a shopping plaza, and the proposed facility represents a low-intensity, commercial improvement that utilizes existing infrastructure and services. The Comprehensive Plan’s land use and economic development policies support diversified commercial services and the continued viability of existing commercial centers. The proposed water dispensing facility contributes to these objectives by providing a service-oriented commercial use without expanding the footprint of development or introducing incompatible intensity. To the extent that the Comprehensive Plan promotes high-quality design and community character, the proposed structure is consistent with those policies through its commitment to architectural compatibility and subdued visual appearance, notwithstanding its inability to meet certain prescriptive façade standards designed for larger buildings. Finding: The request is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan.

VARIANCE NARRATIVE WATERMILL EXPRESS PID 174059 70 PLAZA AVENUE, LAKE PLACD, FL January 7, 2026, To Whom It May Concern, Please accept this narrative for a variance request to grant relief from the commercial architectural standards set forth within the Town Code Section 154-17.1(4)B (i), (ii) and (iii). Section 154-17.1(4)B(i) Glazing: Due to our proposed unit only providing one (1) entry door, which is solely used for maintenance purposes of the internal workings of the unit, the minimum thirty percent (30%) covering of glazing to the primary façade in the way of window(s) or glazed door openings cannot be provided. Our units are pre-manufactured and unmanned. The nature of the unit allows all sales to be completed externally to the unit, with no customers entering the building at any time to obtain their product. Therefore, the only entry point is to allow our employee(s) access to the internal system of the unit for maintenance and/or repairs. There are no restroom facilities, office space, or other occupied areas within the unit. WatermillE X P R E S S 1177 S 4th Avenue | Brighton, CO 80601 800.487.9643 | WatermillExpress.com

Sections 154-17.1(4)B(ii) and (iii): A required minimum 100sf permeant covered porch cannot be provided to our unit, which is a pre-manufactured, 106sf, walk-up kiosk. To provide our customers with protection from any inclement weather, a canopy structure is placed above the transactions area on all our units. Additionally, the kiosk is placed atop a 225sf concrete slab, set on two (2) existing parking spaces and surrounded by bollards for added vehicular protection for our patrons and the unit itself. Relief, if granted, will have no negative impact on the property or community in any way. Our sole goal is to provide an accessible water vending service to the community and by positively impacting the center by bringing in additional patrons.
