V OLS-35 - Terry Davis
Staff reviewed the case history and the statl evaluation:

Three Lakes Addition to create Lot 14E. The tract lies north of
the hardware store along Highway 169 access road north of 83rd
Street North, The property is vacant. This tract and the tract
known as Lot 14E on the accompanying BOA map received approval
from the Board of Adjustment as one unit to operate a ministorage
business, The Technical Advisory Committee had no recommendations
for additional easements, The Planning Commission should consider
whether this lot split would have any detrimental effects on the
development of this property or on surrounding properties.

plication Commissioners discussed the lot split and expressed their
concern over bow many times the lot had been subdivided. They re-expressed

ZONING REFERRAL REVIEW
10 TCZ -64 - Jeraldine Edison
Staff reviewed the case history and the staff evaluation:
The applicant requests rezoning of approximately 20 acres
from AG to 1RMT (Townhouse) located just north of Owasso, SW
of 96th Street North and Garnett. The property is vacant and
is surrounded by predominantly vacant AG land on the north,
east and west® To the south lie single family residential
homes zoned RS -3 and a Lutheran church zoned AG. The Compre-
hensive Plan indicates low intensity residential development
for this tract which is located 1/8 mile south of the arterial
intersection. There is a 5 acre commercial /office activity
center indicated by the plan for the southwest corner of the
intersection,
The Planning Commission should consider how a townhouse
development would affect the existing development to the south
and future low density development to the north and west. Traf-
fic and utilities should also be considered. EMT density averages
12.1 units per acre. This 20 acre tract could possibly have 240
units.
Leo Edison spoke for the applicants, and showed photos of the type of
townhouses they proposed to build. He stated they wished to build two
story units like Madison Square in Tulsa, which would have approximately
1200-1350 sq. ft. and be sold separately. The estimated density would
be 180 to 200 units, and the existing pond would be incorporated into the
development® Don Watts also spoke for the development and said the units
would have garages or carports. He stated members of the abutting church
had suggested EMT zoning as a buffer.

Commissioners discussed the application and opened the hearing to comments
from people in the audience. Over ra dozen nearby property owners were
present to ask,questi,ons about the development. Ann McCalister asked about
the price range of the units and was told they would be in the $40 to $50,000
range. Other.rluest:aons from residents concerned the availability of ade--
eivate utilities and streets. Concerns over possible blasting rock to builxl
and possibly harming nearby homes and the problems of increasing traffic on
the already overloaded Garnett
Chairman Hinkle brought the discussion hack to the decision on appropriate
land use. Commissioners discussed the proposed density and heard more com-
ments from residents. Mike Shapc.o discussed Fencing and Mrs,, McCalister show-
ed pictures of the exiting pond, stating; that the neighbors did not want the
pond closed off by the development. °:('!acre were concerns raised about the
impact of 200 families on the .school system. The applicants explained that they
planned to have FHA and VA approvals but they would not seek direct housing
subsiders from the units. Staff explU ned the zoning; and subdivision platting
procedures. Mrs. McCalister submitted ra letter from a resident who could not
be at the meeting, That Metter is attached to and made <a part of the minutes.
M. Rankle suggested approving as PUD with a lesser unnderlying; zoning in order
to build townhouses but to reduce the density and t:o provide a low density
buffer to the RS-3 homes to the south. Commissioners discussed the PUD con° -
kept and several alternatives.
