LOT SPLIT REVIEW
C OLS-21 Pat Larkin
Staff presented the case history and the staff recommendation.
The applicant seeks a lot split for Lot 99 Block 29 Three Lakes Village
because the existing structure was inadvertently built over the Lot 10
lot line into Lot 9. The lot split would not affect the rear 15 foot
utility easement. The existing structure infringes approximately six
inches upon the 785 foot utility easement along the south of Lot 9.
Staff recommends approval of the lot split subject to granting an addition-
al .5 foot utility easement along the north side of the existing easement
running along the south of Lot 9.
Staff related that since none of the utility companies required the addi-
tional 95 foot utility easement in Lot 99 she was deleting that portion
of the staff recommendation. Pat Larkin spoke for the application and
answered commissioners' questions.
George Phillips moved to approve the lot split, J. Wayman seconded the
motion,
Aye: Wayman, Phillips and Hinkle,
Nay: None.
Motion carried 3-0-0.

ZONING PUBLIC HEARING
5. OZ-57 CI-1e Johnson - AG to CC
Staff presented the case history. Mr. Norton, one of the applicants, spoke
for the application explaining that he wanted to locate his cable-laying
business there and that that type of business would cause less traffic than
other commercial businesses. Billy Hughes added that rezoning the subject
parcel would "line up" the commercial zoning boundaries on the north (even,
Frith Big C Lubber) and an the west (even with the Wal Mart property to the
south),
Staff presented the staff recommendation.
The applicant requests rezoning for an 100' x 660' parcel from
AG to CG. The parcel is located north of 116th Street North, west
of Big C Lumber company. This parcel was part of a larger zoning
case (OZ-45) in May, 1979; the parcel was part of the zoning re-
quest for CS (lesser intensity than CG) which was denied,
The Comprehensive Plan recommends residential land use for this
area. The previous staff recommendation (OZ-45) supported a total
of ten acres commercial zoning (CG and CS) surrounding the existing
church. Staff recommended denial of additional rezoning westward
because it was not in conformance with plan policies of no more
than ten acres medium intensity land use at corners of primary-
secondary arterial intersections and because of the pressures for
additional commercial rezoning west of this area that this would
create. Staff still supports this recommendation and recommends
denial of OZ-57 to rezone the subject tract to CV
V Phillips asked what kind of business was proposed. Mr. Norton said he
wanted space to store his cable-laying equipment, an office and a retail
outlet, Additional discussion followed.
G. Phillips moved to deny CG rezoning. Wayman seconded the motion.
Discussion of the motion followed. Clyde Johnson stated the he thinks that
this type of use would be the most compatible with the existing lubber yard.
Commissioners asked what type of development was planned for the balance of
the five acres west of Big C Lumber as well as other abutting property
owned by the applicant. Mr. Johnson replied that there were no firm plans
yet. Representatives of Westport Addition, vest of the application, asked
when the property was annexed and how much of the area was currently in
the Owasso City Limits.
The motion was called for a vote.
Aye: Phillips and Wayman.
Nay: Hinkle,
Motion carried 2-1-0.

14. Johnson asked why commissioners voted to deny the application. C.
Phillips stated his concern for additional commercial rezoning requests
to the west and that he thought that this was not in conformance with
the plan and future residential development in the area, Staff reminded
Mr, Johnson that he could appeal the recommendation to the City Council.
Mr. Johnson wrote out an appeal letter to be transmitted with the minutes
and the case material to the City Council for public hearing,
6. Request to Waive Subdivision Plattina Reauirement on OZ-57
Because OZ-57 was denied, the Commission took no action on the request to
waive the platting requirement.
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING
7. Subdivision ReRulations
This item was continued to the end of the agenda in order to hear all items
which had persons present to represent them,
7A. Request for Annexation - Freewill Baptist Church
Staff gave the case history (petition attached to these minutes) that the
church had a Board of Adjustment action pending with Tulsa County for the
portion of the church property located within Tulsa County (the existing
church lies within Owasso). The church was advised to seek annexation to
Owasso in order to deal with one governmental jurisdiction in further
development of the church. They plan to expand the church building, parking,
and eventually open a day care center, Rev. Pirtle spoke for the application.
Staff gave the staff recommendation:
The applicant requests annexation of a 2.04 acre parcel immediate-
ly west of the existing Freewill Baptist Church at 708 North Atlanta.
The Comprehensive Plan recommends this area for low intensity residen-
tial land use - church use would also be compatible within this
designation® Annexation of areas within the fenceline contiguous to
the city, where urban level services can be extended, is supported by
the plan. This area can be served by city utilities and services.
Staff supports the annexation of this parcel, With this annexation
all of the church-owned property would be within one governmental
jurisdiction® The church could then follow the City of Owasso's
procedures and requirements for development, The property would be
annexed as AG (Agricultural) zoning in accordance with Section 11003
of the Zoning Code. Applications for rezoning would be reviewed
separately by the Planning Commission and City Council.
