Petition Against #OPUD 14-01 - Brighton Park - Residential zoning and development of the general
location: one quarter mile north of East 106'' Street and west of Mingo Road
This re-zoning from AG to RS-3 places this 46 acre property in opposition to the surrounding developed
properties by posing a greater risk of diverting run-off, decreasing the property values of the surrounding
properties, decreasing privacy and private enjoyment of rural setting, and adding increased traffic to
congested thoroughfares (primarily 116 s St N).
The proposed re-zoning is being pushed through with minimum regard to the disapproval of Owasso
citizens voiced at the TAC Meeting, before the City of Owasso has addressed current flooding concerns
left unresolved from previous developments adjacent to the east of this property, and before approval of a
complete plan to ensure the necessary flood prevention measures are taken. This proposed plan is
occurring during a statewide drought, therefore the results of such development and the resulting hazards of
flooding will not be seen until the end of the drought.
Approximately ninety percent (90%) of the section bordered by 116 s St N, 106`s St N, Mingo Road, and
Memorial Road are agricultural residential properties. This PUD is only bordered by a small percentage
(<30% of border) of similar residential areas. Any development of this land should first ensure no added
run-off or water is obstructed from flow, should ensure compatibility with the majority of the surrounding
properties, and should ensure access and added traffic congestion are resolved prior to taken into
consideration.
The Owasso Planning Commission has granted this zoning change despite community and citizen concerns
and despite failures of nearby developments to solve similar problems.
The following nearby citizens of Owasso have signed this petition in opposition to this proposed action:

We have here a petition signed by 44+ residents within 600 ft surrounding this proposed
development. This petition states:
Petition Against #OPUD 14-01 - Brighton Park - Residential zoning and development of the
general location: one quarter mile north of East 106"' Street and west of Mingo Road
This re-zoning from AG to RS-3 places this 46 acre property in opposition to the surrounding
developed properties by posing a greater risk of diverting run-off, decreasing the property values of
the surrounding properties, decreasing privacy and private enjoyment of rural setting, and adding
increased traffic to congested thoroughfares (primarily 116'h St N).
The proposed re-zoning is being pushed through with minimum regard to the disapproval of
Owasso citizens voiced at the TAC Meeting, before the City of Owasso has addressed current
flooding concerns left unresolved from previous developments adjacent to the east of this property,
and before approval of a complete plan to ensure the necessary flood prevention measures are
taken. This proposed plan is occurring during a statewide drought, therefore the results of such
development and the resulting hazards of flooding will not be seen until the end of the drought.
Approximately ninety percent (90%) of the section bordered by 116"i St N, 106"' St N, Mingo Road,
and Memorial Road are agricultural residential properties. This PUD is only bordered by a small
percentage (<30% of border) of similar residential areas. Any development of this land should first
ensure no added run-off or water is obstructed from flow, should ensure compatibility with the
majority of the surrounding properties, and should ensure access and added traffic congestion are
resolved prior to taken into consideration.
The Owasso Planning Commission has granted this zoning change despite community and citizen
concerns and despite failures of nearby developments to solve similar problems.
In addition, I find it hard to believe that the Owasso Planning Commission and City Office of
Community Development have not reviewed some critical information prior to approving re-zoning for a
Planned Unit Development, called Brighton Park. We simply asked for the proposed square footage of
homes, a conceptual drainage map, topography map, and a few other soil tests that any responsible
developer would have completed long before proposing a 147 home, multi-million dollar project to the City
for consideration. We have been told that this is all conceptual in nature at this point and, if it is approved
and the applicant moves forward with the development, they will have to provide the necessary engineering
documents to our Engineering division and we will review their plans. The City is accepting a lot of liability
in allowing the re-zoning of a flood plain to RS-3 without seeing any of the actual plans and actual science
the developer intends to use to develop this land.
A key part of any City's master development plan should consider the appropriate pairing of
developments and should not approve any requests from to rezone our land without at least knowing the
size of the buildings that a company plans to put on there. I, for one, do not trust developers to keep
nearby citizens concerns in
iild " a ~ez¢1Out City should not trust any developers or other
large business entities, capable of putting together a multi-million dollar development, without some public
S_~
infonnation like BBB enrollment on record. This developer has been putting together projects in and around
Collinsville, but where are the records of the successes or failures of those developments? Where is their
working phone number? (not on their PUD) I certainly would not expect our City officials to allow anyone
to develop land, which the City will maintain, without assuring the citizens of the developer's capabilities
and concern for the LONG-TERM impacts on the community and surrounding properties.
