FROM RS-2 TO RS-3 SINGLE FAMILY OWASSO CITY COUNCIL P~ GE FOUP.. JU.IE 7, 19$3 Ms. Dickey stated that the change from PAS-2 to RS-3 zoning would allow tre applicant to build slightly over ~ units per acre instead of 4 units per acre. She said the area has a severe slope problem as well as quite a bit of storm ~atcr drainage to contain and move off the property safely and highway right-of-way going through the property. 5re said that ore reservation the Planning Commission had was tn.at they wanted to try to retain differing lot sizes in Owasso to allow a variety of types of homy owrLership. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the change by a 3 to 1 vote. A number of citizens from Three Lakes II were present and voiced their concern about the proposed zoning change. Ire response to a question about the additional 113 units that the change would allow, Bob Pruit of AL C. Young and Assoc. said that the area would probably develop at 3.2 units per acre because of the various physical problems of tho land. A citizen asked if the developer could construct covered drainage irLst~ad cf open areas which would breed mosquitoes. The Mayor said he preferred rLot to have covered pipes havirLg seen the problems Tulsa has had with them getting stopped up. NTr. Block said there is also a definite limit as to how much water can go through and a sericus problem can occur when there is severe storm water. A citizen asked why the developer wished to change from RS-2 to RS-3 if they only planned to put in 3.2 units per acre. Mr. Pruitt explained that RS-3 would enable them to have E5' frontage instead of the 75' required cf RS-2. Vor. Stockier stated that there were always problems with new developments but that he felt the City was working to eliminate past problems and make improvemerLts with each new development. Pryllis Gross said she could understand with .~orc houses, there would be more concrete ar~d blacktop which presumably would mean faster surface water as run-off, but that tha plans would hcpeT- fully channel it and put the run-off where it sr~ould go. Ms. Dickey stated tha additional streets sc be about the same. Mr, Block stated that spraying program. He certain areas are net as much as possible. t the change irn zoning would not call for that the area cf ccncrete and blacktop would the city has plans fcr an extensive mosquito said that sometimes there are problems when dedicated to the City, but they will cover OWASSO CITY COUNCIL PAGE FIVE JUNE 7, 1983 MotiorL was made by Von Stockler, seconded by Mayor Spencer, to approve the request of Owasso Lakeridge Terrace, Inc, to rezone a 101.17 AC tract of land lying generally northwest of 86th Street North arLd 129th E.

That plat expired and the property changed hands. Now it has come back in similar form, but with improved drainage capabilities.

Whin Phase II is completed, there will be at least t~i'o acce3s points onto 129th East Ave. The property would hook up the drainage easement from the pond in Three Lakes III and carry it down the natural drainage way.

Ms. Dickey said many of them had been. A few things like correcting minor errors in legal description have not, but the developer has aJreed to 0.11 the conditions. A citizen asked if construction workers would came through Three Lakes II to get to Lakeridge Terrace. Mr. Pruitt said construc- tion traffic would came in off of 86th St, at 123rd E. Ave, and when devElo~ merit picks up in Phase- II, there e:i11 be a temporary road to 129th E. Ave, for construction traffic. Mr. Block said signing could be used to direct construction traffic ir. the proper areas. The Mayor asked that if citizens in Three Lakes II have any problems with construction traffic, he would like to see thorn all at a Council ~~~eeting to back the Council in any action. they take. Ms. Dickey said that the developer could be required to begin construction at 86th St, to lesson the likelihood of construc- tion traffic going througr. Three Lakes II, rir.

There are a few lets that, because of the Public Service easement running through the property, have a very small amount of buildable space, The Planning Commissior_ asked that the de?=elopes be put on notice t~ be extremely careful when surveying the property and building the lots so that those lots do rot comp back for variances, lot splits or ether waivers. Mayor Spencer asked that a condition of acceptance of the final ~~-~ plat be that when the abovemer_tioned lots are purchases?, the o~,aner is advised that they are responsible for maintenance of that part of their lot that is Public Service easement. OWASSC CITY CGUNCIL PAGE SEVEN JUNE 7, 198 Several citizens voiced their concern about construction traffic going through Three Lakes II during construction of Three Lakes III and the entrance to Three Lakes II being the only entrance for Three Lakes III. Several plans were discussed ER=hick would alleviate the problem in the future. Mr. Smalley asked for an explanation of the par?r, area (2.0 acres). Ms. Dickey explained that the park is built around an existing pond in the southeast corner of Three Lakes III, abutting Three Lakes II. There is a strip of land all the way around the pond and a strip of land north of the pond :~ahich is Public Ser:=ice easement ~ti=here nothing can be built. The plan is to connect these areas to have ? public park site, There ~•Till be a walkway for pedestrian traffic. Ms. Dickey said that at the Planning Commission meeting, some citizens had eVpressed a desire for the pond to either b? subdivided and deeded to property ownors or for a homeowner's association to be formed to take care of the area and have access control. It ~~~as also suggested that the area e~oul.d be dedicated to the City as a public park. The Planning Commis- sion discussed the. several options, but it was referred ro the City Council. for final ~?etPrm~_nat-ior~ (w'nether c?r not they rrxould accept it as a public park). Ms. Dickey said it was her recommendation that if a homeo~mer's associa i~?n is to he farmed, that- it he a reality before the final plat is filed of record. T•~r. Block stated that it was his experience that homeowner's associa.ti~ns tended to become ineffective after a number of years. He said that hay=ing the park dedicated to the City is also not a perfect solution, as the City is not always able to keep maintenance up at all times.. The Mayor suggested the pond be drained and the area be filled in, He said he ~?as not i_n favor. of_ the pond being dedicated to the City. He said he felt the mai-.ter sho~?ld 1~e returned to the Planning Commission: Motion was made by James Smalley, seconded by Von Stockier, to deny the request for approval of final plat on Three Lakes III until the park situation. is resolved.
