The subject tract is approximately 8.67 acres in size and zoned Commercial Shopping (CS). It is abutted on the North by the new Wal -Mart store zoned CS, on the East by the Three Lakes Subdivision and the Price -Rite store zoned a combination of Residential Single - family High Density (RS-3) and CS, on the South by 86th Street, and on the West by the Liberty Bank zoned CS and the Mingo Valley Expressway service road. The proposed plat consists of one block and two lots, both of which have access to public utilities. Since access to public utilities exists and improvements to those utilities are not contemplated at this time, construction plans are not necessary. The applicant expects to lot -split Lot 2, Block 1 in the future when specific uses and needs are identified. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) discussed this case at their September 12, 1990 meeting and recommended approval subject to the following concerns: 1) The addition of a 17.5' general utility easement along the North property, except the extreme West portion of Lot 2 where it will follow along the North side of the entry road. 2) The addition of a 17.5' general utility easement along the West side of Lot 1 and Lot 2. This easement should flare to a 30' width where it crosses the entry road. 3) The addition of a 22' general utility easement 11' either side of the North property line of Lot 1 and extending across the 117th East Avenue entry road. 4) The addition of a 17.5' general utility easement along the Southeast property line of Lot 2. 5) The dedication of the right -of -way for the end of 117th East Avenue. b) The addition to the Deed of Dedication, Section 1.3.1 reference to all public and private utilities. 7) The addition to the Deed of Dedication reference to Wal- Mart's shared responsibility for the maintenance of the detention facility and the mutual access roadways. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed the Preliminary Plat and the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and concur with the concerns of the TAC. I recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat, subject to the conditions outlined above. PRELIMINAfiY PLAT MINGO VALLEY SHOPPING CENTER LOT -1 IN BLOCK -1 DF LIBERTY BANKING CENTER CITY OF OWAS50, MEMORANDUM TO: Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Steve Compton Assistant City Manager for Community Development SUBJECT: Site Plan Review - Christian Church Counseling Center (29- 21 -14) DATE: September 14, 1990 BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a Site Plan Review for a church related counseling and temporary housing center. The proposal would be to locate three buildings on the site, fronting on 123rd East Avenue. Each building would be approximately 3,000 square feet in size and parking would be located behind each building with driveway access to 123rd. The proposal would also include a bridge over the drainage ditch West of the site to tie the new Center to the existing church parking lot which is located on the West side of the drainage ditch. The subject tract is located South of the Southwest corner of Stith Street North and 123rd East Avenue. It is zoned Residential Duplex (RD) and is vacant. The tract is abutted on the North by a medical office zoned Commercial General (CG), on the West by a nursing home zoned Residential Multi- Family Low Intensity (RM -1), on the South by a single - family residential neighborhood zoned Residential Single - Family High Intensity (RS -3), and on the West by the First Christian Church zoned RS -3. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) reviewed this case at their September 12, 1990 meeting and recommended approval subject to the following concerns: 1) That there be no paving over the existing 15' utility easement along the drainage ditch and that if a bridge is constructed, special precautions be taken to protect the existing gas and electric lines located in this easement. 2) That each of the three proposed buildings be no larger than 3,000 square feet in size and that one handicapped parking space be provided for each building. 3) That a screening fence and /or landscape buffer be provided 1 along the South property line between the subject tract and the abutting single - family zoned lot. 4) That any bridge constructed over the drainage ditch must be designed in such a manner that it does not restrict the design flow of the ditch. In addition, the bridge would have to be designed and constructed so that it would pass the runoff from a 100 -year frequency rainstorm under full urbanization. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed the Site Plan and compared it to the requirements of the zoning code and the subdivision regulations and concur with the recommendation of the TAC. I recommend approval of the Site Plan for the Christian Church Counseling Center, subject to the conditions stated above. MEMORANDUM TO: Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Steve Compton Assistant City Manager for Community Development SUBJECT: Site Plan Review - Texaco 76th & Dogwood (31-21-14) DATE: September 14, 1990 BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a Site Plan Review for the addition to their existing facilities of a stand alone quick -lube building. The building would be approximately 24' x 29' in size and would have a small basement for mechanical and storage needs. There would be only one service bay, and it is estimated that a customer can be handled in 15 to 20 minutes. They are also proposing to use the old oil to provide some or all of the heating needs of the new building. The subject tract is located at the Southeast corner of 76th Street North and South Dogwood Street. It is zoned Commercial Shopping (CS) and contains an existing convenience service station building with gas pumps and a car wash building. The tract is abutted on the East by the McDonald's Restaurant zoned CS, on the South by vacant land zoned CS, on the West by the Burger King Restaurant zoned CS, and on the North across 76th Street by the Homeland Store zoned CS. The Technical Advisory Committee reviewed this case at their September 12, 1990 meeting and recommended approval subject to the following concerns: 1) That the five existing parking spaces, including one handicapped space be relocated on the lot. 2) That all federal, state, and local health and safety requirements be met. 3) That the proposed building be moved East approximately 3' to avoid any encroachment into the existing driveway access lanes. 4) That the exit drive out of the lube facility be redesigned to provide, to the maximum extent possible, perpendicular entry into the existing driveway lanes. That a stop sign be located at the end of the exit drive from the lube facility. 5) That the existing sidewalk stubbed into the subject tract from the abutting McDonald "s tract be extended to the East curb of the East drive and that wheelchair access be provided from the drive to the sidewalk. 6) That a landscape plan be submitted to and approved by the city planner for the area East and North of the proposed building. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed the site plan and compared it to the requirements of the zoning code and subdivision regulations and concur with the recommendation of the TAC. I recommend approval of the Site Plan for the 76th Street Texaco, subject to the above stated conditions. MEMORANDUM TO: Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Steve Compton Assistant City Manager for Community Development SUBJECT: The Proposed Annexation of the Owasso Church of the Nazarene DATE: September 13, 1990 BACKGROUND: The Subject tract is approximately five (5) acres in size and located approximately 1/4 mile North of the Northwest corner of 145th East Avenue and 86th Street North. It is vacant and proposed to be the location for the new Owasso Church of the Nazarene. It is surrounded on three sides by the City of Owasso and the owners have requested to be annexed. Upon annexation, the tract will be zoned Agriculture (AG) District per Section 110.3 b., Annexed Territory of the Owasso Zoning Code. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant would be required to file an application and receive approval from the Board of Adjustment for a Special Exception to allow a church in an AG District. It should be noted that the subject tract does not meet the preferable size of 20 acres or larger as identified in the Annexation Policy adopted by the City Council March 1, 1988. However, the policy doesn't restrict the size to 20 acres or greater; it simply identifies that this is the preferable size. The Annexation Committee reviewed this case at their August 30, 1990 meeting and all present recommended that the tract be annexed. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the property be annexed as requested. It is advisable to annex vacant tracts so that the City may have a direct influence on how the properties are developed. The land in question is now vacant and surrounded on three sides by city limits. MEMORANDUM TO: Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Steve Compton Assistant City Manager for Community Development SUBJECT: The Proposed Annexation of the Right -Of -Way of the Mingo Valley Expressway (US 169 Highway) Between 76th Street North and 96th Street North DATE: September 13, 1990 BACKGROUND: The Annexation Committee at their March 30, 1989 meeting recommended that the City annex the Mingo Valley Expressway right - of -way between 76th Street North and 86th Street North. Richard Hall, in his review and recommendation of the proposed annexation, noted that the City administration had an agreement with Tulsa County to annex and maintain the service roads along the highway if the County would repave those service roads. The County completed the repaving project last Fall. Richard also noted that the City will incur the responsibility to maintain the service roads in the future, but since they are newly surfaced they should not need repair for seven years. The Expressway pavement and shoulders will continue to be maintained by the State Department of Transportation. The City, however, will have to pay maintenance and electricity cost of lights placed by the State along the Expressway within the City Limits. Electricity costs will be about $10,000 per year at current rates. Since then, I have reviewed the proposed annexation and have extended the annexation proposal to include those parts of the Expressway and Old Hwy 169 between 86th Street North and 96th Street North that have yet to be annexed. At this time, approximately one -third of the 86th Street and US Highway 169 interchange is within the City's corporate limits. Also, the South half of the 96th Street interchange and approximately one - quarter mile of the Expressway are within the corporate limits (see map). Adding the Expressway right -of -way land between 86th Street and 96th Street will necessitate a change in the annexation process. The land between 76th Street and 86th Street is surrounded by existing corporate limits, which allows the City to give notice of its intent to annex the property and go through a public hearing process. That land between 86th Street and 96th Street is not abutted by corporate limits on at least three sides, which requires Memorandum Mingo Valley Expressway Annexation Page 2 the property owner (State of Oklahoma) to request or consent to be annexed. I have discussed the new proposal with Ray Jordon, Tulsa County Engineer; Frank Chiles, ODOT Division Engineer; the INCOG Transportation TAC; Mr. Ray; Chief Motto; Ron Cates; and some members of the City Council. The general consensus has been favorable. Questions that have been asked have centered around the following concerns: Mowing - The Expressway is now mowed maybe once or twice a summer by ODOT, the remainder of the time the City mows the area. If the land is annexed, the City will loose this one -time mowing by the State. This is not a significant loss given the fact that we want to start presenting Owasso to the public in a more favorable manner. Lighting - This concern has not changed from Richard's analysis. The City would (at a minimum) have to pay for maintenance and electricity cost. This would most likely be the same whether the Expressway was in the City or County. The City can purchase the lights or have ODOT purchase them. If ODOT purchases them, we would have to wait until our need meets a State formula. Drainage - The City will be responsible for drainage problems and maintenance; however, all of the facilities between 86th Street and 96th Street are new and the area between 76th Street and 86th Street is mostly flat with little or no drainage problems foreseen. The drainage ditch South of Rayola park will need future maintenance, but would most likely be handled by the City regardless of City boundaries. Fencing - The fencing between the service roads and the Expressway paving is required for safety reasons (controls access to the Expressway lanes for animals, children, vehicles, etc.). It is questionable how well the existing fence accomplishes this concern; however, Frank Chiles of ODOT has stated that because of money constraints and the fact that fencing has a low priority, he would see the State doing only minimal repairs of the existing fence in the future. If we want a new fence, it will have to be purchased by the City and whether or not Memorandum Mingo Valley Expressway Annexation Page 3 the right -of -way is within the corporate limits will not matter. If the State is responsible for the fence, it will remain as a Hog -wire fence for some time. Pavement - The State will remain responsible for the maintenance and snow removal of the Expressway pavement and shoulders. As noted by Richard, the City will take over maintenance of the service roads from the County. Police Services - At this time, since it is impossible for the police to physically identify what areas are within the City and because of the moral obligation, they answer all emergency calls on the Expressway. These actions often result in our officers sitting at the scene 15 to 30 minutes waiting for State backup. We want officers there, but at this point they are loosing a significant amount of time on each call. Also, officers are ticketing violators on the service roads, which is questionable, but can't be avoided. Visual Image - There has been much discussion about concentrating a significant effort into improving the visual impression of Owasso and that this effort could center around the Expressway and the land use along both sides of the Expressway between 76th Street and 86th Street. In order for the City to accomplish this goal, it will be necessary to have regulatory control of this land. The Annexation Committee reviewed this case at their August 30, 1990 meeting and all those present recommended the expressway right -of way be annexed. It was also recommended by all present that the petition be amended to include all of the State of Oklahoma owned land that was Old Hwy 169 and is now a part of Garnett Road between 86th Street North and 96th Street North. RECOMMENDATION: Given the above analysis, I would recommend approval of the proposed annexation, including the addition of the Old Hwy 169 right -of -way. This annexation will include only public held land. MEMORANDUM TO: Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Steve Compton Assistant City Manager for Community Development SUBJECT: The Proposed Annexation of the Owasso Sports -Plex DATE: September 13, 1990 BACKGROUND: The subject tract is approximately 78 acres in size and located 1/2 mile West of the intersection of Garnett Road and 116th Street North. It is vacant, recently purchased by the City of Owasso, and proposed to be the location of the new Owasso Sports -Plex. This complex will be developed over the next 5 to 10 years and become the primary home for all city sports programs. It is abutted on the East by Hale's Acres, a single - family subdivision that is within the city limits of the City of Owasso. It is abutted on the South and West by mostly vacant land zoned Agriculture (AG) that is outside of the city limits. On the North the subject tract is abutted by 116th Street and the Westport Addition, a single - family subdivision that is within the city limits. The Annexation Committee reviewed this case at their August 30, 1990 meeting. After discussion, it was recommended by all members present that the subject tract be annexed into the city. RECOMMENDATION: Since the tract is now city owned, proposed to be used as a city facility, has city utilities available, and developed with city funds, it would be advisable to annex the tract to ensure that decisions affecting its development and long -term maintenance are controlled by the city. I recommend approval of this annexation.
