PRELIMINARYjCONDITIONAL FINAL PLAT FOR A 1.46 ACRE TRACT
LOCATED NORTHEAST OF 86TH ST. NORTH AT CEDAR.

and conditional/final plat because it is a very simple piece of
property with no major problems. She said there were no utilities
to add as they can hook up to existing utilities. With regard to
the street to be built on the south side of the property, there
was discussion as to whether the street should be private or dedi-
cated to the city. Mr. Sokolosky said he could build it to city
specifications and Mr. Block said if the standard were followed as
set it would be acceptable to the City and that the City would work
with Mr. Sokolosky to make the street acceptable for dedication.

Ms. Dickey reported that the piece of property is presently zoned for
RM-2 multi-family dwellings and that the developers have requested to
come in with a planned unit development overlay. They would keep the ~,_~,,
same zoning, using the same density they would be allowed under RM-2
and develope townhouses instead of apartments. They have proposed
80 individually owned townhouse homes. The Technical Advisory Com-
mittee and Planning Commission have worked with the developers and
find the plat acceptable as now presented. Mayor Spencer asked about
parking and Ms. Dickey said there would be 3a spaces per unit plus

6. REPORT FROM CITY ATTORNEY
Mr. Cates read to the Council a letter from Mr. Levy replying to
a letter he sent at Council's request regarding Lot 1, Block 1,
Owasso Business Park. The letter stated that the North 40' of
Lot 1, Block 1, had been sold to Mr. Dale Williams, and could not
be included in the purchase as presented by Mr. Levy. Mr. Cates
suggested four alternatives: (1) do nothing, (2) proceed

to enforce the option - such action being directed to the Doctors
Family Medical Clinic, Inc., (3) buy 100 x 112.82 as presented at
a reduced price (4) consider obtaining the South 40' of Lot 2 to
replace the 40' sold to Mr. Williams. Mr. Spencer asked if Mr.
Levy had the legal right to sell the 40' without a lot split. Mr.
Cates said if Mr. Williams tried to sell the property, there would
be a cloud on the title and he would have to come before the Plan-
ning Commission and ask for a lot split. Mr. Block said it was
his understanding that the City had been offered the North 40' of
Block 2 as part of the lot split. Ms. Dickey stated that the matter
could be cleared up by a lot split application splitting off the
North 40' of Lot 1 and adding the North 40' of Lot 2.
Mr. Spencer asked if Mr. Williams knows
on the lot. Mr_. Cates suggested that a
find out when the 40' was sold to Mr. W
with him to discuss it. Mr. Cates said

Regarding the proposed bus system, Mr. Block reported that reports
are favorable and the City will probably be notified of acceptance
next month. He has had no contact with Kraftours.
A used sand spreader has been purchased for $500 with an extra $30
expended to put it in working order. This was a considerable
savings as new spreaders cost at least $3,500.
Mr. Block explained that there .was a strong suspicion of gasoline
theft and he would like to move the gasoline tanks to the city
garage area for better control and security. He also explained a
new system for keeping track of usage. He asked if it would be
possible to move a mobile home into that area so that one of the
city employees could live there and serve as night watchman. This
would be a deterrant to vandalism and misuse of our equipment as
well as added security for our treatment facility. Mayor Spencer
asked if there would also be some fencing put up around. the area
and Mr. Block said he had plans for doing that.
