The proposed housing development is planned for senior townhome -style rental units.

This item was opened for public hearing at 6:27 pm. The following are comments/ concerns made by citizens: Mr. Stuart E. Van De Wiele, Attorney for Smalygo Properties - He stated that Mr. Smalygo has built over 400 homes and he saw a need for senior housing. The 35 unit structure fits the site. With all the landscaping, signage and amenities, we might not be able to reduce the units much more. There are residential structures to the east and west. A cedar plank fence is planned. This is not a Section 8 project. The traffic concerns will be addressed. The final plat will show the detention area. There is a need for this type of project. OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION March 7, 2016 Page No. 4 Brad Beaird - 9322 N 138 E Ave - Consulted a traffic engineer regarding this area, He had the traffic counts calculated. This development is not appropriate for this location. N 133rd E Ave receives approximately 14,000 vehicles per day. There will be a 10% increase by adding this development. It is not appropriate at this location. Mr. Musman - 807 W Center, Collinsville, OK - Lives in the Collinsville facility owned by Mr. Smalygo. He waited six months for the property to be built. It's very high quality and a very quiet place. There is a need for more 55+ communities. Stephen Grey - 3101 N Hemlock Circle, Broken Arrow, OK - Mr. Grey is representing the Nottingham homeowners. Mr. Grey stated that there is no similar zoning in the area, no other multi - family zoning. Traffic safety issues with E 96th St N being a two lane street. The water supply is a 4" water line, a 12" line should be installed for fire suppressant. Sanitary sewer line is an 8" line, it's overloaded now without addition developments. Expressed drainage concerns. It's not the development that is being opposed, it's the location. Safety issues were discussed regarding the one way in and one way out. He also stated that he has public Infrastructure concerns. Ron Cates - 202 E 2nd Ave - Representing the Honeyacres (next door neighbors) - He is all for the project, but the 2030 Land Use Master Plan is being tossed aside. Barbara Johnson - 9810 N 135 E Ave - She owns the 4,000 sq ft home to the west. Objects to the development. It's not a good fit for this area and not a good plan for seniors. The small units around all these large homes. It's a poor plan, no private outdoor space, no garages, no space for guest parking. Does not see a benefit here for seniors. Catherine Sallee - 9503 N 137 E Ave - Expressed appreciation for listening to their concerns. Please continue to do that. Seth Ann Baird - 9322 N 135 E Ave - Nottingham HOA President - We want the covenants to state that this development will only be used by 55+ years of age seniors. Staff needs to study the number of units. That is a lot of units for the acreage. Consider turning off the emergency sirens when coming or leaving the development. We all have traffic concerns and water concerns. State in the covenants that there will not be subsidized vouchers (work this out with attorney). Thank you for your civic duty. We love our homes and our neighborhoods. Robert Jerome - 9117 N 137 E Ave - Traffic issues need to be addressed. Brian Jacobs - 9505 N 137 E Ave - Don't put more traffic on E 96 St N. High density apartments are not going to help the high traffic on E 96 St N. There needs to be sidewalks for safety purposes. Please listen to us and do not set a precedence. Delmar Davis - Traffic issues, especially during church hours. He had sanitary sewer concerns. His church always wanted a computerized sign, but was told no by city officials. OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION March 7, 2016 Page No. 5 Brandy Marion - 9512 N 137 E Ct - Do you have a vision for Owasso? She opened a dance studio at 22 years old. She had a vision for Owasso. Nottingham is a neighborhood of distinction just like Swan Lake is in Tulsa. Phil Havizal - 9311 N 138 E Ave - Has served on the board for Nottingham. His trust was broken when the large churches were built. The developer could sell to somebody else and they could go Section 8 housing. Thank you for your time. This has connected all of these subdivisions to become one. That is a very good thing. Mike Evans - 9310 N 138 E Ave - The impact is going to be on the value of our homes. Traffic along N 138 E Ave is terrible. Think what you are doing in advance. Rob Haskins - 13601 E 96 St N - Traffic is terrible on E 96 St N, The other developments in Oologah and Collinsville have streets on either side of the development. This one does not, it same way in and out. There are drainage issues. With the right of way along E 96 St N, it will be very tight. The Commission has the opportunity to make this right. Ken Yates - 14007 E 87 Ter N (Silver Creek) - Concerns with drainage. Would like to see an engineer report to reflect the stormwater drainage in that area. The detention pond is just a drawing on a piece of paper. This pond and the drainage can effect Windsor Lake, Silver Creek, Camelot Estates and Nottingham. Jack Ojala - 13616 E 96 St N - Thank you for listening to our concerns. Spoke with Renee Mowery and she was very kind. This development is not the right fit for this area. We appreciate the added roof dormers, the added berm and the rock entryway. The comments and concerns are: the small 2.59 acre tract condensed to 26 units, maybe consider making the pond larger and the entry larger and gated. Would like to see an 8' fence along the west, north and eastern boundaries. We would like to see it legally bound that this property remains a 55+ senior facility. Ms. Palmer - 121 S 8m St, Collinsville, OK - After the death of her husband she ended up at Baptist Retirement Center. Her daughter showed her the Smalygo senior living center in Collinsville and she loves it. They are well designed and everything is very comfortable. We all love each other and are one big family. We feel that we have a place in the community. Very proud to be a resident of Smalygo Property. Cathy Breese - 13505 E 93 St N - I thought Mr. Miller was impartial. Where is the greeting area, in the outside middle? What is that for? The seniors need something to do in the facility. Traffic is terrible with the churches. Jim Breese - 13505 E 93 St N - I feel like this is spot zoning. Is this the way to get the zoning for what you want? J.D. McCully - Smalygo Properties Resident - Collinsville - Mr. Smalygo is very kind. The low rent comment is not true. Most of the people in the Collinsville facility have good finances. OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION March 7, 2016 Page No, 6 Phyllis Ogilvie - 9314 N 138 E Ave - The seniors are not the issue here. The infrastructure is the issue. I have a strong heart for the Baptist Village and consider all the hearts of Owasso. Please consider what is right for Owasso, Chairperson Dr. Loving asked if there were more concerns /comments from the meeting attendees, With no more comments, the public hearing was closed at 7:55 pm. Mr. Stephenson explained the planning process and Mr. Daniel Dearing explained the engineering phase process. He explained that all plans are required to be reviewed by a state licensed engineer at the office of Meshek & Associates. Attorney Van De Wiele stated that they would consider accel /decel lanes at the platting stage to help with traffic. Commissioner Miller stated that he had read all of the emails, he lives within a 1/4 mile from this proposed development. He has been a builder for 25 years. Mr. Smalygo could develop this property with 12 to 15 homes. The City of Owasso is a city of character, culture, hospitality, faith and honor. We need companion. Tonight he wanted to hear everyone views of the proposed development. We study all of the issues at hand. Thank you for coming out tonight.
