There were a few citizens present that requested to address the Commissioners. The public meeting was opened for speakers at 6:20 pm. Terry Rowan - 12935 E 761h St No - He has lived in Owasso for 50 years. He has seen the failures with entrances in other locations. What does CS zoning cover? Opposes apartments and has drainage concerns. Opposes the commercial zoning and is concerned with the lack of privacy if commercial goes at that corner. H feels his property value will lessen. Stated that It is not ethical to obtain signatures for money for the amendment. Liz Dougherty- 12912 E 77th St No -She lives behind the subject property. She is opposed to the CS zoning. Has lived in Owasso for 18 years and values this town and the value we have on our homes. It is too close to our house and we will lose our privacy. The noise and traffic would affect our lives and will increase crime and lower our property values. Michael Ames - 13000 E 77 St No - He has lived here for 20 years. Receiving compensation for the homeowner's signature is not ethical. We are supposed to be a city of character. Opposes to the commercial zoning. It doesn't fit the Owasso City of Character program. Lou Reynolds - 2727 E 21 St - Mr. Reynolds was present to represent the applicant. He stated that the Owasso Land Use Master Plan has always shown this property as commercial zoning. Traffic should not be an issue, there are four lanes on N 129th E Ave and four lanes on E 76% St No. The property to the south and west is zoned commercial. Annexing and building within the city limits of Owasso is much better than building in Tulsa County, much higher standards in Owasso. Owasso subdivision regulations are very strict. The storm water runoff is not allowed to change. The OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION June 8, 2020 Page No. 3 compensation is due to the consideration for the resident's time and efforts. He requests that the annexation and rezoning be approved. Discussion was held regarding the site plan review.
