Staff presented the case history, Mr. Sheldon and Mr. Tremain spoke in
favor of the application. No one spoke in opposition, Staff presented
the staff recommendation:
The area proposed for annexation to the City of Owasso is
located north of El Rio Vista Subdivision west of Garnett, fronting
99th Street. The properties along the dead-end 99th Street are
currently served by Owasso water, An existing sewer line runs along
the south property lines between El Rio Vista and the subject tract.
The Public Works Department has indicated that there should be no
problems in providing this area with municipal services. The exist-
ing street, 99th Street, is not built to current Owasso standards.

The Coii)prebensive Plan recommends tbisarva for residential land
use. Annexation of areas within the fenceline contiguous to the
city, where urban level services can be extended, is supported by
the Plan. The most appropriate area to be annexed is the entire
area fronting 99th Street. The subject property is the only vacant
portion of this area, It is more logical to extend 'inunici,pa_1
services to the entire street rather than just one property. Staff
would recommend annexation of all properties along 99th Street.
Staff can support current application for annexation. The pro-
perty would be annexed as AG (Agricultural) zoning in accordance
with Section 110.3 of the Zoning Code. Any application for rezoning
will be reviewed separately by the Planning Commission.
The provision of municipal services to this property and other properties
along 99th Street was discussed. Commissioners agreed that the entire

The condition of existing parks was of immediate concern to commission
members, especially Rayola park, Recommendation was made to request the
Council to direct the Park Superintendent to draw up a site plan of Rayola
Park with a list of specific needs as to the type and amount of trees,
shrubs, grasses and plants needed to upgrade the landscaping, It was
suggested that local organizations, such as civic groups, could be asked
to donate money or trees and plants and to volunteer labor to plant them.
It was hoped that once Rayola Park was improved, similar site plans and
improvements could be made for Ator and Elm Creek Parks.
V Phillips moved to amend the Comprehensive Plan to include the Open Space
Requirements and the Recreation and Open Space Land Requirements quoted
above and to recommend to the City Council approval of statements 1 through
8 as immediate goals and statements 9 through 20 as long range goals for
park and open space development for Owasso,,
