East Avenue.
Mr. Rooney presented the report that the City of Owasso initially received a preliminary
plat for Bamngton Point in May for review at the Technical Advisory Committee and
Planning Commission meetings. Due to several "changes" recommended at the TAC
meeting and due to staff's recommendation of the developer providing access to
unsubdivided land to the east, staff recommended that Mr. Kourtis resubmit the
preliminary plat for Barrington Point in order to address these concerns and to allow the
Planning Commission to view both Barrington Point and Windsor Lake III together as
they are abutting properties. The enclosed preliminary plat has addressed those changes
previously recommended by staff.
At the June 2, 1993 TAC meeting, the Barrington Point preliminary plat was reviewed
again. Staff recommended Planning Commission approval of the preliminary plat
conditioned upon the following TAC recommendations:

North, East of Highway 169, Between Perry's Restaurant and Owasso Veterinary
Hospital.
C.
The Final Plat was presented to the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee at is June 2,
1993 meeting. Comments received regarding this plat concerned misspellings within the
covenants on the plat itself. The applicant is aware of those errors. Staff recommended
that the Planning Commission review this plat as a final plat due to its simplified nature
(1 Block, 1 Lot) .
In addition to the Technical Advisory Committee review, this item was reviewed by the
Owasso Board of Adjustment for a variance request. The applicants were required to
obtain a variance because of the property not meeting the bulk and area requirements of
a CG (Commercial General) District.
The applicants have submitted an agreement to obtain a private easement through the
LaPetite property in order to provide a private sewer service line to their property. Staff
has further reviewed these plans and has found no problems or issues of concern.
Ray Haynes moved, Charles Willey seconded, to approve the Final Plat as corrected.
A vote on the motion was recorded as follows:
Ray Haynes - Yes
Charles Willey - Yes
Dewey Brown - Yes
The motion carried 3 -0.
Request to Amend the Zoning Code of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma, A City initiated
request to amend the zoning code of the city of owasso, oklahoma relating to
Chapter 5, Section 510, Principal Uses Permitted In Office Districts. More Specifically,
to Allow for the Development of Beauty Salons and Barber Shops in an OM (Office
Medium Intensity), Zoning District.
Owasso Planning Commission
Minutes of June 17, 1993
Page 5 of 6
It appears that at the time of establishing the zoning code, the permitted activities within
an OM district were strictly limited to those that did not involve the retail sale or display
of merchandise and is specified numerous times in list above. It also appears that those
accessory uses permitted by Special Exception in an OL or OM district were more so
directed toward an urban atmosphere or "downtown Tulsa ". Many times services like
those are offered in the round floor of high rise office buildings.
Mr. Rooney explained that while attention should be paid to the amount of retail sales
and merchandise displayed in OM districts, it should also be noted that standards derived
from a Zoning Code for the City of Tulsa may not necessarily be appropriate for the City
of Owasso.
Furthermore, Mr. Rooney suggested that the Owasso Zoning Code should be amended
to permit beauty salons /barber shops to operate in an OM district by Special Exception.
This would allow the Owasso Board of Adjustment to place conditions on applicants
requesting this Special Exception. Amount of floor area utilized for the display of retail
items, hours of operations, and signage could all be restricted in some manner as a
condition of approval by the Board of Adjustment. It would also permit the Board of
Adjustment to review traffic impact, building elevations, and compatibility of surrounding
uses on a site specific basis.
Dewey Brown moved, seconded by Charles Willey, to approve the Text Amendment to
allow Beauty salons /Barber shops in OM Zoning Districts. A vote on the motion was
recorded as follows:
Dewey Brown - Yes
Charles Willey - Yes
Ray Haynes - Yes
The motion carried 3 -0.
7. New Business - A memo was presented by Mr. Rooney from Mr. Ray on changing
Planning Commission meeting days. Discussion will be held at the July meeting when
all members are present.
8. Report on Planning Items Previously Forwarded to City Council for Action - Windsor
Lake II, Ram Plaza and Brentwood Final Plats were all approved. Mr. Crismond did
not appeal the Planning Commission's denial of his rezoning request.
9. Discussion of Development In and Near Owasso - Owasso Commercial Center III Final
Plat will be reviewed by the Planning Commission next month. It is the understanding
of staff that a Motel is interested in this property. Also, the Board of Adjustment will
review a special exception request for a Sonic Drive -In near Walmart.

TO: THE OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: TIMOTHY ROONEY, CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: OWASSO COMMERCIAL CENTER III - FINAL PLAT
DATE: July 7, 1993
BACKGROUND:
Previously, a final plat for the property contained within Owasso Commercial Center III was
approved by the Owasso Planning Commission and City Council. Originally, this plat was
entitled Owasso Commercial Center II. This approved plat was never filed with the County and
has since expired.
Since that time, the Planning Commission and City Council have approved a final plat titled
Owasso Commercial Center II for a completely different property, this plat has been filed.
Because the applicants original plat had the same title, it was necessary for the title of the
resubmittal to be changed to Owasso Commercial Center III.
This plat, essentially, is the same plat that has received previous approval from the Planning
Commission and the Owasso City Council with the exception of a minor change in one lot line.
The lot line that has been changed involves the lot line shared by Lots 1 and 2 of Block 1 in the
northern portion of the proposed plat. An 8 1/2 x 11" copy of the original submittal has been
enclosed for your information and review.
The final plat was presented to the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee at its June 30, 1993
meeting. No objections were voiced regarding the amended plat. The Technical Advisory
Committee did have several required corrections to be made to the submitted plat:
1. The perimeter easement needed to be shown along the north side of the
existing Lot 2 (Captain D's property).
2. Dimensions needed to be provided on all easements shown.
3. Easements needed to be shown for the proposed storm sewer.
4. Covenants need to be corrected to reflect a "Commercial" rather than a
"Residential" development.
5. Question mark needs to be erased between the words "Owasso" and
"Commercial ".
In addition, several corrections need to be made to the submitted construction plans. A
memorandum from Mr. Munn of the Engineering Department and Mr. McElhenney of INCOG
is enclosed stating these corrections for your information and review. A copy of the proposed
construction plans is available in my office and will also be available at the meeting should you
wish to review these drawings.
RECOMMENDATION,
The final plat for Owasso Commercial Center III complies with the Owasso Subdivision
Regulations; therefore, the staff recommends approval of the final plat subject to the minor
corrections recommended by the Technical Advisory Committee being completed prior to this
item being forwarded to the Owasso City Council for approval.

SUBJECT: ELM CREEK CLINIC - FINAL PLAT
DATE: July 7, 1993
BACKGROUND:
Elm Creek Clinic is a proposed one lot - one block subdivision, located just north of Owasso
Lumber on the East Highway 169 service road. The area contained within the proposed plat was
previously contained within Lot 1, Block 19 of Elm Creek Estates. The property contains
approximately 30,046 square feet and is zoned CS (Commercial Shopping Center District). Due
to its simplified nature (one lot - one block), staff is requesting that this be processed as a final
plat.
The Elm Creek Clinic final plat was presented to the Technical Advisory Committee at its June
30, 1993 meeting. The only correction regarding the plat was that the "point of beginning"
utilized in the legal description would need to be indicated on the plat.
In addition, one correction to the Deed of Dedication needs to be made. In Section 1 "Streets
and Utilities ", subsection B "Electric and Communication Service ", second paragraph, the
addition of "communication service" needs to be added.
RECOMMENDATION:
The final plat for Elm Creek Clinic complies with the Owasso Subdivision Regulations;
therefore, the staff recommends approval of the final plat subject to the point of beginning being
indicated on the plat and "Communication Service" being added to the Deed of Dedication,
Section 1, Subsection B, Paragraph 2 prior to this item being forwarded to the Owasso City
Council for approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: RODNEY J. RAY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS
DATE: June 9, 1993
As you are aware, conflicts between the Owasso Planning Commission and Municipal Court,
in regards to the use of the meeting room at the Community Center, continue to surface.
Originally, Owasso Municipal Court was to utilize the meeting room at the Community Center
every Thursday evening except the third Thursday of each month in order to allow the Planning
Commission to utilize that room. However, more recently the Municipal Court due to an
increase in case load, has had to occasionally add an additional night. When it is necessary for
the Municipal Court to add an additional night, it is the third Thursday of each month.
Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with Judge Hilsabeck regarding the meeting conflict and
investigated the possibilities of scheduling the Municipal Court nights for a different evening of
the week. Currently, such a rescheduling by the Court is not possible.
Mr. Rooney has made me well aware of the Planning Commission's concerns when meeting in
the alternate room in the Community Center. Unfortunately, as long as the case load through
the Municipal Court continues at its current rate or increases, the conflicts in the scheduling of
the meeting room will not decrease.
In effort to avoid this conflict, I am requesting that the Planning Commission consider and
discuss the possibilities of scheduling their meetings to a different evening. Any Monday
evening or the second Tuesday of each month is available for your consideration in the upcoming
year. Such a move would decrease the likelihood of a conflict, however please note that this
is simply a request for discussion of an idea. Decisions relating to your meeting times are
exclusively yours, and I would hope this request would not be viewed as a directive rather than
a request.
I would like to apologize for the confusion regarding this matter. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Rooney or myself at 272 -2251.
MEMORANDUM
TO: THE OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: TIMOTHY ROONEY, CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT - OWASSO ZONING CODE
CHAPTER 12, CREATING SECTION 1260
DATE: July 6, 1993
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department recently received and approved two building permits
for auto related businesses within commercially zoned property located at 206 and 208 N. Main
Street. One of the uses, an auto body shop, was required to be heard by the Owasso Board of
Adjustment, and a public hearing was held for that use in 1992. The other use, an automotive
business providing basic service and minor repair, and was permitted by right and no Board of
Adjustment action was required.
A major concern, however, arose with approving both of these building permits. Both proposed
business and the structure in which the activities would be performed were to be located on lots
that already had a pre- existing non - conforming use. In both cases, a single - family dwelling
existed on the lots.
Certainly, one can reach the conclusion that automobile body shops and repair services are not
compatible with single family housing. However, the Owasso Zoning Code contained no
prohibition of such "dual" use when one of the uses is a pre - existing, non - conforming use, be
it commercial, industrial, office, or residential zoning. Responsible planning dictates that
unrelated dual uses on one lot is not favorable and not to be embraced by gny community.
While the underlying zoning is commercial, this is an older portion of the community and much
of the surrounding development occurred quite some time ago and is residential (single and
multi - family) in nature despite its underlying zoning. While it is important for a zoning code
to not be perceived as anti- development with too many restrictions, it is also a priority to
preserve the integrity of previously developed areas as well.
In order to avoid non - compatible development of this nature in the future, staff is proposing a
text amendment that would eliminate gny new use being established on property already
containing a non - conforming use, unless:
1. Each existing and proposed use, including all accessory buildings and uses,
shall be located on a lot or a parcel of land having a required area for each
such use.
2. These uses shall be so located that the lot or parcel of land can be divided
into smaller lots or parcels of land, each of which will contain not less than
the required area, and on each of which the number and location of structures
will comply with the requirements of this Ordinance when considered as a
separate lot or parcel of land.
By simply adding these two requirements to the Owasso Zoning Code, non - compatible
development similar to that which has occurred on Main Street would be restricted. For
example, the lot on which Eddie's Transmission is located is 10,500 square feet in area. The
zoning code would require a minimum of 8,400 square feet of lot area for the single - family
residence, plus the additional lot area that would be required for a commercial business. If this
requirement were in place at the time of building permit review, the additional use proposed on
the above lot would have been denied.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is Planning Commission approval of the text amendment to Chapter 12 of the Owasso
Zoning Code, creating Section 1260, "Nonconforming Uses Limit Other Uses ". Said
amendment to read as follows: 1
Section 1260
1. Each existing and proposed use, including all accessory buildings and uses,
shall be located on a lot or a parcel of land having a required area for each
such use.
2. These uses shall be so located that the lot or parcel of land can be divided
into smaller lots or parcels of land, each of which will contain not less than
the required area, and on each of which the number and location of structures
will comply with the requirements of this Ordinance when considered as a
separate lot or parcel of land.

SUBJECT: SITE PLAN REVIEW - CRISMOND PHYSICAL THERAPY
DATE: July 7, 1993
BACKGROUND:
Crismond Physical Therapy is a proposed physical therapy clinic to be located on property
contained within the Elm Creek Clinic final plat (See Item No. 4). The applicant is proposing
a 2400 square foot building for medical uses, accompanied by 18 parking spaces. In addition,
a free - standing sign is also being requested by the applicant. The zoning of the property, CS
(Commercial Shopping Center District), does permit a physical therapy office.
Staff has reviewed this site plan and is recommending that the Planning Commission require the
applicant to submit a detailed landscaping plan, said plan to be approved by the City Planner,
prior to the issuance of the building permit. Landscaping should be utilized by the applicant to
break up the parking area mass as viewed from the service road.
Also, it should be noted that the applicant will be required to obtain a separate permit for the
proposed sign. Sign height in this area is limited to thirty (30) feet and 100 square feet in
surface display area.
RECOMMENDATION.
Staff recommends approval of the site plan conditioned upon the following:
1. A detailed landscaping plan be submitted and approved by the City Planner
prior to the issuance of any building permit.
2. A pre - construction meeting be held between the contractor and the
community development staff prior to any construction occurring.

portion and a vacuum area. As you may remember, access to this property was limited to one
thirty -five foot access drive from E. 76th Street North. The approximate locations of this access
point have been added to the proposed site plan.
Staff is also recommending a detailed landscaping plan be submitted by the applicant and
approved by the City Planner prior to the issuing of any building permit. Also, it should be
noted by the applicant that any proposed signage would require a separate permit. Signs in this
area are limited to thirty (30) feet in height and 100 square feet of surface display area.
RECOMMENDATION:

2. A pre - construction meeting be held between the contractor and the
community development staff prior to any construction occurring.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM. RODNEY J. RAY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS
DATE: June 9, 1993
As you are aware, conflicts between the Owasso Planning Commission and Municipal Court,
in regards to the use of the meeting room at the Community Center, continue to surface.
Originally, Owasso Municipal Court was to utilize the meeting room at the Community Center
every Thursday evening except the third Thursday of each month in order to allow the Planning
Commission to utilize that room. However, more recently the Municipal Court due to an
increase in case load, has had to occasionally add an additional night. When it is necessary for
the Municipal Court to add an additional night, it is the third Thursday of each month.
Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with Judge Hilsabeck regarding the meeting conflict and
investigated the possibilities of scheduling the Municipal Court nights for a different evening of
the week. Currently, such a rescheduling by the Court is not possible.
Mr. Rooney has made me well aware of the Planning Commission's concerns when meeting in
the alternate room in the Community Center. Unfortunately, as long as the case load through
the Municipal Court continues at its current rate or increases, the conflicts in the scheduling of
the meeting room will not decrease.
In effort to avoid this conflict, I am requesting that the Planning Commission consider and
discuss the possibilities of scheduling their meetings to a different evening. Any Monday
evening or the second Tuesday of each month is available for your consideration in the upcoming
year. Such a move would decrease the likelihood of a conflict, however please note that this
is simply a request for discussion of an idea. Decisions relating to your meeting times are
exclusively yours, and I would hope this request would not be viewed as a directive rather than
a request.
I would like to apologize for the confusion regarding this matter. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Rooney or myself at 272 -2251.
