Shopping) district for the purpose of constructing mini - storage units. The
property is located southeast of the southeast corner of East 76th Street
North and North 129th East Avenue, Owasso, OK,
Karl Fritschen presented the staff report and described the location. The underlying
zoning of Commercial Shopping (CS), would remain in place with the PUD overlay. The
project will contain 416 units on a 3.9 acre tract. This item was taken to TAC on
December 16, 2015.
Several surrounding property owners were present. The following are comments and
concerns that were expressed:
Dan Mashburn - 7429 North 129th East Avenue - All the rain water drains to the south
and west. There are major water problems in this area. In 2008 we told city staff about
this same flooding problem. Do not understand how you will contain the water if we
get much rain. This is the last major intersection and a storage unit facility is going in
there? Feel like it is a waste of good land. A sign stating that the intersection
improvements will be done soon, has been up there for 30 years. Does the city have
traffic counts on this intersection? It did show to be 12,000, but is way beyond that
point now. It has to be much more today.
Bronce Stephenson explained that when the civil engineering plans are submitted the
drainage will be reviewed. Bronce suggested to set up a meeting with Dwayne
Henderson and himself to discuss the flooding issues. Staff recommends approval of
OPUD 15 -02.
David Vines moved, seconded by Renee Mowery, to approve the planned unit
development request, subject to TAC and Staff recommendations.
YEA: Dr. Loving, Mowery, Vines, Koscelny
