ITEM 8 - APPROVE ZONING CASE OZ-48 FROM AGRICULTURE USE TO RS2, RS3, RMl, RM2, OL, CS, and AG: GENERAL LOCATION 86th STREET NORTH AND 129th East Avenue Jack Gorzeman stated that the Planning Staff was recommending approval as platted out with the exception that the RD parcel across from the school be zoned CS to eliminate any loitering in the area. Don Thompson questioned how many acres the comprehensive plan allowed in the southeast corner of this parcel of land, and Mr. Gorzeman indicated that the property was already zoned CS when the comprehensive plan was adopted and there were no changes made. Owasso City Council October 16, 1979 Page Three Mayor Spencer asked Jack Gorzeman to explain the differences in zoning for RSl, RS2, and RS 3. Mr. Grozeman indicated that RSl must have lOG' frontage and 13,500 square feet to each lot, RS2 must have 75' frontage and 9,000 square feet to the lot, and RS 3 must have 65' frontage and 7,000 square feet to the lot. Mr. Wrestler suggested leaving the parcel of land as presently zoned, except for cutting the southeast corner down to ten acres, and zoning the rest of this area, as well as the area designated RD, to RS3 zoning. Don Thompson felt the whole area should be rezoned with not so much RS3 and higher density being put in, due to the traffic flow in that area. He recommended RSl so there would be larger lots, to eliminate traffic flow in the area. He felt zoning the whole area RS2 and RS3 was going to create problems with congestion in traffic and also drainage in the area. Motion was made by Don Thompson, seconded by Robert Wrestler, to deny request to rezone Case OZ-48 from Agriculture Use to RS2, RS3, RMl, RM2, OL, CS and Ag; General Location 86th Street North and 129th East Avenue, and to leave the area as presently zoned. Ayes - Messrs Spencer, Wrestler, Thompson, Mrs. Fickle. Nays - None Motion carried. ITEM 10 - APPROVE TWO TEMPORARY STRUCTURES AT 301 WEST SECOND AVENUE Mr. Bob Campbell, District Manager for Public Service Company, asked for a one year permit to erect two temporary buildings. He stated that Public Service Company would begin construction of permanent facilities on that site in February, to be finished by next summer. He stated that the temporary buildings would house the office personnel and work crew, which would be serving the Owasso area. Approximately 23 people would be occupying these buildings, which would be 14 x 70 mobile buildings placed on blocks. These mobile buildings would be in by Novem- ber 15, 1979. He stated that they would also be erecting a permanent fence around the entire property as soon as possible. He said they had contacted Santa Fe regarding permission to bore under the railroad tracks for a sewer line, and had obtained permission to do so. Motion was made by Robert Wrestler, seconded by Robbie Fickle, to approve Two Temporary Structures at 301 West Second Avenue. Ayes - Messrs Spencer, Wrestler, Thompson, Mrs. Fickle. Nays - None Motion carried ITEM 11 - UNFINISHED BUSINESS Item A - APPROVE ACCEPTAPICE OF PAVING IN HALE ACRES Bill Williams indicated that the cul-de-sacs had been completed and inspected and everything was finished on them; they looked real good. Motion was made by Don Thompson, seconded by Robert Wrestler, to approve Acceptance of Paving in Hale Acres. Ayes - Messrs Spencer, Wrestler, Thompson and Mrs. Fickle. Nays - None Motion carried Item B - APPROVE SENIOR CITIZEN NUTRITION PROGRAM Mrs. Webb indicated that she had been checking and Owasso did not meet any of the guidelines for obtaining Federal funds for the nutrition program because the community was too affluent. Motion was made by Don Thompson, seconded by Robert Wrestler, to table approval of the Senior Citizen Nutrition Program until we hear from Commissioner Harris regarding the $3,000.00 check. Ayes - Messrs Spencer, Wrestler, Thompson and Mrs. Fickle. Nays - None Motion carried Item C - DISCUSSION ON MTTA BUS SERVICE Mrs. Webb had met with Mr. Bob Colpitt of MTTA and he had suggested a committee be formed to work with MTTA. She said Mr. Colpitt had indicated concern with the proposed route of the bus because it went outside the city limits and some of the streets were not constructed to accommodate buses. They are proposing three or four stops in the city limits. Mrs. Webb recommended that the committee consist of two representatives from Cities Service Company, (since they seem to be the majority of the people wanting the service), one or two people from other businesses in Tulsa, one member that would not be riding the bus at all, and one or two council members. .~.~, Mrs. Webb indicated that MTTA had been in agreement with her suggestion of stops at TG&Y-Safeway area and the Wal-Mart area, and had suggested another stop at Bethel Church; however it would be the responsibility of the Committee to come up with definite recommendations as to location of the stops. The function of the Committee would also be to see if routing would work, to look into park-and- ride, to establish the necessary rate to charge to make it self-supporting, and in general to make recommendations to the City Council as well as take advice of the MTTA representatives. The committee would also need to contact the various businesses to see about parking in their areas. ,,,, Mrs. Webb indicated that the City would need to settle up with MTTA on a monthly basis. She also indicated that the Committee should check on the frequency of breakdowns of the buses and also problems encountered in bad weather.
