TO:

FROM:
Bronce L. Stephenson
City Planner
CASE:
OBOA 11 -02
DATE:
August 23, 2011
BACKGROUND:
The City of Owasso received a request for a Special Exception to allow for the construction of a
carport over an existing driveway within the front -yard setback. The property is a single family
residence located at] 1236 N. 941h East Avenue.
SIZE OF LOT:
23,223 sq. ft.
EXISTING LAND USE:
Residential - Single - Family
SURROUNDING LAND USE:
North: Residential, RS -3 zoning
South: Agriculture, AG
East: Residential, RS -3 zoning
West: Residential, RS -3 zoning
PRESENT ZONING:
RS -3 (Single - Family Residential High Density)
APPROVAL PROCESS
"The Board of Adjustment shall hold the public hearing and, upon the concurring vote of three
members, may grant the Special Exception after finding that the Special Exception will be in
harmony with the spirit and intent of the code, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Provided that the Board in granting a Special
Exception shall prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards, and may require such
evidence and guarantee or bonds as it may deem necessary to enforce compliance with the
conditions attached." - Section 1480.4 Owasso Zoning Code.
ANALYSIS
The applicant desires to construct a carport over an existing driveway that abuts N 94th East
Avenue, a street that currently stubs out to the property to the south. According to section
3.2.16 of the Owasso Subdivision Regulations streets shall be integrated with existing platted
rights -of -way. Considering this, 94th East Avenue could connect to future development when the
tract of land located to the south develops. The proposed carport would be located only a few
feet from the platted right -of -way potentially creating a safety concern. No structures of any
type are allowed in any front setback in any zoning classification within the City of Owasso,
without a special exception approved by the Board of Adjustment. The proposed carport
would be constructed within the required front yard setback, but may create a dangerous
precedent if approved. The Board should consider this information in its deliberations and
evaluation of the request.
Letters were mailed to all property owners within three - hundred (300) feet of the subject
property and the request was advertised in the Owasso Reporter. Staff received no objections
concerning OBOA 11 -02.
Staff has concluded that the carport if approved has the potential to impact the public safety
and general welfare of the community.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of OBOA -11 -02
