At the first hearing the Board directed the staff to measure the width of parking spaces of local commercial developments. The Building Inspector measured parking spaces of random commercial developments and submitted the following measurements: Charney's law office 8'11" City Hall 9'11" Burger King 9' 2" Homeland 9' 2" Knight's Bridge 10' 2" Former T.G.& Y. 9' 5" Captain D's 8' 7" Golden Corral 9111" Liberty Bank 9'10" Former K Mart 8' Taco Bueno 10' 2" Executive Center 9' 1" Evergreen Care Center 9' 1" Owasso Post Office 8'11" Owasso Beauty College 8'11" AVERAGE 9' 3" At the second Board of Adjustment hearing on March 15th, the above measurements made it apparent that there were many of commercial parking spaces that did not meet the Zoning Code requirements. The Board of Adjustment, however, denied the requested variance but suggested that the matter might be better addressed by an amendment of the Zoning Code. I agreed with the Board that a variance of the Code was not appropriate but I supported the proposal to reduce the width of parking spaces from ten feet to nine feet. First, most cars are smaller now than when the Zoning Code was written. Second, evidently the Zoning Code has not been consistently enforced in regard to the striping of parking spaces. Of the random stall measurements, a clear majority did not meet the Zoning Code standard. Planning Commission Parking Space Memo September 16, 1989 Page 2 After visiting with Mr. Sweeney, I informed him that his next course of action was to approach the Planning Commission about amending the Zoning Code to allow the smaller parking spaces. The Zoning Code Section 1520 allows the Planning Commission, of its own accord or at the direction of the City Council, to hold public hearings to amend the Code. Its recommendations then are submitted to the City Council for its consideration. Mr. Sweeney asked me to bring the item before the Planning Commission to ask that the parking space size be amended. At the May 18, 1989 Planning Commission meeting I asked the Planning Commission if it would desire to hold a public hearing to amend the parking space size standard. The Commission voted 4 -0 to not change the standard. In its discussions, the Commission decided that there are many vehicles, such as large pick -up trucks and vans, that still need the ten feet of parking space width for parking. The Commission did direct the staff to send letters to owners of parking lots to conform to the Zoning Code requirements when the parking lots are repainted. After some false starts, the plat of the Owasso Plaza subdivision, the proposed Wal-Mart site, was be heard by the Technical Advisory Committee on August 9, 1989 and by the Planning Commission on August 17, 1989. The final plat is scheduled for review on September 21, 1989. Because parking is important in the layout of the site plan and plat of the development, the developer's representative, Mr. Sweeney asked to be put on the City Council August 15, 1989 agenda. He asked the City Council to direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on the parking space size matter with the goal of amending the Zoning Code to allow the smaller parking spaces. The Council agreed with him and directed me to publish a public notice to amend the Zoning Code and directed the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing to examine the matter. I have scheduled the public hearing for the September 21, 1989 Planning Commission meeting to take comments from the public about the possible amendment of the Zoning Code to allow the smaller spaces. The Planning Commission recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council at its October 3, 1989 meeting. MEMORANDUM TO: The Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Richard Hall, Owasso City Planner SUBJECT: Site Plan for Texaco service station and convenience store at the Southeast corner of 86th Street North and 117th East Avenue, a portion of lot 67 of the Three Lakes Addition to Owasso DATE: September 16, 1989 BACKGROUND: The subject tract is a portion of the Three Lakes Addition to Owasso which was platted in May of 1976. There has been at least one other failed attempt to develop the tract as a service station. A Board of Adjustment case (OBOA -65) was approved in April of 1984 to allow a similar Texaco station on the subject property. That approval expired because it was not used within one year of its granting. A site plan and a lot split (OLS -44) were approved with conditions by the Planning Commission in April of 1984. Finally, utility easements were dedicated, then abandoned in an effort to build the earlier Texaco station. The two property is zoned CS commercial and is buffered on the south and east by OM office zoning from residential areas of the addition. A shopping center is located west of the tract across 117th East Avenue. A small office complex lies to the south of the tract while a drug store is located to the east. A new grocery store is situated north of the tract across 86th Street North. Road construction work is underway on 86th Street North and a traffic light is planned at its intersection with 117th East Avenue. Texaco recently made application to the Owasso Board of Adjustment for a Special Exception to allow a automotive use in a CS zoning district and for a variance of the Zoning Code to allow the canopy covering the gas pumps to extend into the building setbacks of both 117th East Avenue and 86th Street North. The Special Exception was required of an automotive use by the Zoning Code because the use is too heavy for the CS Shopping Center zoning district. The concept of the Code is that the Board may require conditions in its approval of the Special Exception to protect neighboring uses from the traffic and activity of the automotive use. The variance request was proposed to allow the gas pump canopy to be located at a diagonal with the intersection of the two streets. Two corners of the canopy are proposed to extend into building setbacks required by the Zoning Code in the CS district. The applicants felt that the layout of store and canopy would allow for a better traffic flow at the facility. The Board heard and approved both the Variance and Special Exception on September 13, 1989 (case OBOA-116). Texaco Site Plan September, 1989 Page 2 PROBLEMS: The facility is now proposed by Texaco to contain gas pumps, a car wash, and a storage shed in addition to a convenience store that is larger than those traditionally built by the company. The submitted site plan is incorrect in that it does not reflect the ongoing construction work at 86th Street and 117th East Avenue. It appears that the existing street right -of -way encroaches into the underground tank and sign areas of the site plan along 117th East Avenue. The dumpster located at the southwest corner of the building is located such that heavy trash trucks will have to maneuver over the underground tanks to service the dumpster. If the pavement over the tanks is not adequate, damage may result to the tanks from the weight of the trucks. Texaco proposes eight regular and one handicapped parking spaces. Eleven and one half spaces are required of a convenience store of the size proposed by Texaco. When the spaces under the canopy are counted, however, the total number of spaces increases to 17, including the handicapped space. Signs appear to be in accordance with the Owasso sign ordinance, number 309. The store is allowed one ground sign for each of its frontages and two ground signs are shown. Finally, the 35' and 40' wide curb cuts on the east side of the convenience store seem like overkill. There are no limits of access on 117th East Avenue shown by the plat but the Planning Commission allowed only one 40' wide driveway in its approval of the lot split in 1984. The curb cut on the 86th Street frontage is also a problem. The opening is not where it is specified on the subdivision plat. In the previous site plan review, the Planning Commission approved the moving of the access point, but I can find no City Council resolution or ordinance accomplishing the change. According to the Three Lakes plat, no access is allowed the Texaco lot. The Owasso Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the site plan at its September 13, 1989 meeting. The T.A.C. recommended the following requirements concerning the site plan: Submit a drainage plan to the city for the site, reinforce the concrete over the underground tanks, and set signs away from PSO lines. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of the proposed site plan subject to the following conditions: 1. Submit a revised site plan to the city that respects the ongoing construction work at the intersection, Texaco Site Plan September, 1989 Page 3 2. complete and file of record the change of access along 86th street North and show one 40' wide access point on 117th East Avenue as approved by the Planning Commission in previous site plan and lot split approvals, 3. reinforce concrete over the underground storage tanks, 4. submit a drainage plan to the city, 5. setback from PSO electric lines. MEMORANDUM TO: The Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Richard Hall, Owasso City Planner SUBJECT: Site Plan for the Owasso Library at the Northwest corner of Broadway and Main streets DATE: September 16, 1989 HISTORY: The present library opened its doors in November of 1962 in a leased facility at 124 E. 1st Street. It had 1,300 square feet of area. The library moved to its present location at 118 S. Main in 1972 which is leased from D.M. Sokolosky. The existing facili- ty has 2,400 square feet of area and four parking spaces are allocated to the library. It has the smallest size but the second highest circulation of the seven libraries of the North Region. In June of 1988 funds were approved by the voters of Owasso to build a new library. City- County Library officials have proposed the construction of a 5,500 square foot facility with parking for 40 vehicles. On November 22, 1988, the Owasso City Council appointed six members to a Library Site Selection Advisory Committee The Committee met only on December 7th and December 14th because of time constraints. Its report was prepared after the last meeting of the Committee and it was passed on to the Owasso City Council and to the Indian Nations Council of Governments. The views of the City Council and INCOG's report were forwarded to the City- County Library Commission for its action. That Com- mission had the final authority to choose a library site. The Owasso Planning Commission studied the location of a library in its deliberations on the Owasso Comprehensive Plan. The Commission noted two sites: near the new high school at the Northeast corner of 129th E. Ave and 86th Street North. The second site was not specific, but near the existing City Hall. The Library Committee discussed the Comprehensive Plan and Committee sites reflecting the ideas of the Plan. Since the Plan was finished, however, library concepts have changed. It is now not acceptable to have a library too near a school. The Library Committee also felt strongly that the new library could be a factor in the redevelopment of the older portions of Owasso. The City Council expressed its favor with Site One of the Committee - the half block located at the Northwest corner of Main and Broadway. The Council's second choice was Site Two - the half block at the Northeast corner of Main and First Avenue. The Library Commission chose the Main and Broadway site to locate the new library. The site has been purchased and cleared of structures, including a property owned by the OPWA. Library architects have proposed the attached site plan for review of the Planning Commission. Since the property is zoned CH, Commercial High Intensity District, the use does not need to be reviewed by Library Site Plan September 16, 1989 Page 2 the Owasso Board of Adjustment. No plat is required because the property is already platted as part of the original Owasso subdivision. The site plan is, therefore the last review of the development before the building permit is issued. Library administrators anticipate that construction will begin in January and be completed in April. The officials hope that the facility will be open in June. RECOMMENDATION: The Technical Advisory Committee heard the matter at its September 13, 1989 meeting. The Committee and architects had a good discussion about utilities but made no recommendation about the site plan. Since the property is zoned CH, there are very few Zoning Code requirements on the use. All abutting properties, except to the east across Atlanta, are also zoned CH, so there are no site fence requirements. Structure setbacks from the streets are generous and there is plenty of room for building expansion along the Main street frontage. Nineteen parking spaces are required by the Zoning Code, but 35 regular spaces and two handicapped spaces are provided. I recommend approval of the plan subject to two conditions: 1. I feel uncomfortable with the handicapped spaces being located in the Broadway right -of -way. I would rather see the handicapped patrons back their vehicles into the circular driveway rather than directly into the street. The location of the handicapped parking spaces is made more difficult because they are located near the Main Street intersection. The driveway is also narrow, I assume to discourage parking. It may be also prudent to post no parking signs along that driveway. 2. I recommend that sidewalks be constructed along all street frontages in accordance with Ordinance 182.

MEMORANDUM TO: The Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Richard Hall, Owasso City Planner SUBJECT: The proposed annexation by Steve and Stanley Synar of property located at the Northwest corner of 86th Street North and 145th East Avenue. DATE. September 14, 1989 BACKGROUND: A realtor /local property owner has requested that land totaling about 185 acres be annexed into the city. The property is shown on the attached map and is vacant and undeveloped. The Annexation Committee reviewed the petition at its September 7, 1989 meeting. The committee discussed the surrounding area and a request by the owners to eventually rezone a 40 acre portion of the subject property. We discussed the City Council annexation policies and the annexation of street rights - of -way adjacent to the subject property. Motion was made by R.J. Ray and seconded by Charles Willey to recommend that the Planning Commission recommend annexation the subject property less the street rights-or-way adjacent to the property. A vote on the motion was recorded as follows: Kirby Crowe - Yes Richard Hall - Yes Ray Haynes - Yes Cliff Motto - Yes Rodney Ray - Yes Charles Willey - Yes The motion carried. The annexation item was on the September 13, 1989 agenda of the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee. That committee did not make a recommendation to make to the Planning Commission concerning the petition. I recommend that the property be annexed as recommended by the Annexation Committee. 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 adjacent to the city limits.
