MEMORANDUM TO: PLANNING COMM CITY OF OWASSO FROM: LARISSA DARNABY CITY PLANNER SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT, OWASSO ONE DATE: MAY 5, 2008 The City of Owasso has received a request from Chad Day applicant/owner, for the review and approval of the Owasso One Preliminary Plat. The Preliminary Plat proposes one commercial and one multi - family residential lot in one (1) block on 17.49 acres of property, located at 9917 East 1066 Street North. The applicant wishes to plat the property so that they may develop attached multi - family residential dwelling units (apartments). LOCATION: The subject property is located between the Owasso Sportspark and the SK &O Railroad, on the north side of East 106th Street North. EXISTING LAND USE: Single Family Dwelling Unit SURROUNDING LAND USE: South: Commercial General, Undeveloped East: Agriculture, Single - Family Residence; Owasso Sportspark West: Single - Family Residential, Metro Heights; Commercial General, Undeveloped North: Agriculture, Single - Family Residence PRESENT ZONING: The subject property is zoned OPUD- 07 -03. ZONING HISTORY: The subject tract was rezoned to a Planned Unit Development Number 07 -03 on January 15, 2008. The tract was previously zoned AG (Agriculture). DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: The first step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is annexation. Annexation is the method whereby land located outside the city limits is made a part of the city. Property owners and land developers sometimes choose to have their property annexed into Owasso in order to J receive Owasso municipal services, such as police protection, refuse collection, and sanitary sewer. The second step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is rezoning. When a property is annexed into Owasso, by law it must come in classified for AG Agricultural use. In order to develop the property, the land must be zoned for particular kinds of uses, such as residential, office, commercial, or industrial. Rezoning decisions are made in accordance with the growth policy displayed in the Owasso Master Plan. One type of rezoning that a developer may choose to seek is a Planned Unit Development, or PUD. When a development proposes to exhibit a mixture of uses with specific regulations and standards unique to a particular tract of land, a PUD is often the preferred land use control mechanism. The third step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is platting. A preliminary plat is required for any development that proposes to divide land into two or more lots. Preliminary plats illustrate the development concept for the property, and are often modified significantly after being reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and the Owasso Planning Commission. Sometimes, difficult development issues such as existing utility lines, wells, or easements are brought to light at the preliminary plat stage and must be remedied prior to development. After the preliminary plat has been reviewed by the City and various utility companies, construction plans for the development's infrastructure are typically submitted. These plans include specifications and drawings for stormwater drainage, streets and grading and erosion control, waterlines, stormwater detention, and wastewater lines. Often, approval is required of other agencies, such as the Department of Environmental Quality for wastewater collection and the US Army Corps of Engineers for properties that may be development sensitive. Once the property development proposal shows a division of lots that is acceptable to both the developer and the City of Owasso, a final plat application is submitted. A final plat illustrates the layout and dimension of lots included on the final plat, right -of -way widths, easements, and other physical characteristics that must be provided for review by the City. After obtaining approval from the TAC and Planning Commission, the final plat is considered by the City Council. If approved, the final plat is filed with the office of the County Clerk and governs all future development on that property. PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW PROCESS: Upon receipt of the preliminary plat, the staff initiates the review process which begins with a thorough analysis of the proposal. The primary consideration is the proposed plat's compliance with the Owasso Zoning Code and Owasso Subdivision Regulations. The Preliminary Plat is then presented .to the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee, at which time utility providers and staff are able to review and provide input on the proposals details. The Technical Advisory Committee, along with the city staff, make a recommendation to the Owasso Planning Commission. The Planning Commission, at a public hearing, accepts, accepts with modifications, continues to a date certain, or disapproves the preliminary plat. Approval or disapproval of the preliminary plat will be conveyed to the subdivider in writing within five (5) days after the meeting at which such plat was considered. If the preliminary plat is disapproved, the subdivider is notified of the reasons for such action and what requirements will be necessary to meet the approval of the Commission. ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting the review and approval of the Owasso One preliminary plat so that they may plat and eventually develop the property with multi - family residential dwelling units (Apartments) and one commercial lot. The property was rezoned on January 15, 2008 to a Planned Unit Development Number 07 -03 Zoning District to facilitate the proposed use. The designation outlines the development standards for the property in a multi family residential manner with a commercial parcel. The approved text of the Owasso One PUD that provides supplemental standards for the development of this property is included in the packet. The use associated with the plat is allowed by right according to the zoning designation and the Planned Unit Development. There were several concerns mentioned at the Planning Commission meeting in regards to the rezoning request. These issues included an increase of traffic, noise and light pollution, and drainage issues. Staff conveyed to the applicant that the application would be subject to all of city standards which include following the outdoor lighting code, the city noise ordinance, and all drainage requirements. The applicant was in agreement with the Staff. According to the preliminary plat, the developer would like to create one commercial lot and one multi - family residential lot on 17.49 acres of land, in one block. The access into the Owasso One site will be from East 106`" Street North. The applicant has shown a total of 30' feet to be designated for ingress and egress. Whenever any subdivision of land is proposed, before any permit for the erection of a structure in such proposed subdivision shall be granted, the owner of the land or his agent shall apply for and secure both Planning Commission and City Council approval of a final plat for such proposed subdivision. The Final Plat review process gives the citizens of Owasso the opportunity to actively participate in the physical development and layout of the city. Any development that occurs on the subject property must adhere to all subdivision, zoning and engineering requirements including but not limited to paved drives and storm water detention. Sewer service and Water service will be provided by the City of Owasso. The property will be subject to all payback fees including Storm Siren fees of $16 per acre, and a sanitary sewer fee of $1,580.00 per acre.

The easement was originally granted to cover an 18" storm sewer that ran across the property. The storm sewer has been relocated and staff finds that the easement closure will have no impact on the subject tract or surrounding areas. The Technical Advisory Committee considered the item at their regular meeting on April 23, 2008. At that meeting, utility providers and city staff are afforded the opportunity to comment on the application and request any changes or modifications. There were no comments. RECOMMENDATION: The staff intends to recommend that the request be approved. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Easement Closure request letter 2.
