A vote on the motion was recorded as follows: Ray Haynes - Yes Elwood Henry - Yes Pat Imbriano - Yes Charles Willey - Yes the meeting was adjourned at 8:39 p.m. Chairman Secretary Date June 21, 1988 meeting. The adopted policies for land to be annexed into the city limits are as follows except the City Council changed the word "facilities" in policy four to "infrastructure ": 1. While there is no minimum tract size, properties of larger than 20 acres are preferable. 2. All properties should be contiguous to existing city limits. 3. All properties should be annexed into the city limits as the lowest zoning classification, that is, AG, agricultural. Land owners may then petition for rezoning if they desire further development of their property. All legal uses annexed into the city will be legal but non - conforming which means that they may continue but cannot be expanded without proper zoning. 4. All public facilities infrastructure that do(es) not meet city standards will not be improved by the city until brought to the city standard and accepted by the City Council. Such public facilities must be improved at owners expense by the establishment of a special assessment district or some other financing method. 5. Where a city limit boundary ends at a dedicated street, the boundary will not include the street right -of -way. This policy will establish consistency and allow city employees and citizens to know where the city boundaries are. 6. Properties that are rejected for annexation should not be considered for annexation for a six month period after rejection by the City Council. PROPOSED ANNEXATION I have had several discussions with a local realtor about annexing the 20 acre tract west of Meadowcrest into the city limits. The property could be developed outside of the city limits to Tulsa County zoning and building codes standards. The realtor and a local developer have instead chosen to propose annexation and to develop the property to more strict, and expensive, Owasso standards. City water and sewer utilities are available to the property but it could be developed on septic sewer systems if it is developed under the county jurisdiction and if the lots meet septic sewer standards. I have also had several conversations with residents of the Meadowcrest Addition located east of the tract. Some of the residents have been concerned that a small -lot development on the 20 acre property may have a detrimental affect on their neighborhood. One specific concern that they have voiced is that there is only orre public street to the 20 acre tract and all traffic generated by the development of the tract will have to come and go through the Meadowcrest Addition. The Annexation Committee has met twice to make a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council about the proposed annexation. The Committee determined at its May 31, 1988 meeting that the property can be served by city utilities and emergency services. Both the police and fire chiefs have expressed concern, however, that an accident at the entrance to the Meadowcrest Addition at Garnett and 109th Street North could hinder emergency vehicles from getting to a lot in the Meadowcrest Addition or the proposed 20 acre development to the West. At the June 6, 1988 meeting recommendation was made by the the committee to annex the 20 acre tract in question. RECOMMENDATION I recommend approval of the proposed addition for the following reasons: 1. The proposed annexation meets the criteria established by the Annexation Committee and the City Council. 2. The twenty acre property could be developed either inside or outside of the Owasso City Limits. The City can have more control of the development if it is developed in Owasso rather that in the County standards. The street access situation will also not be different if the property is in or out of the city. 3. The density of the development of the twenty acre tract is appropriate at the zoning and platting stages rather than the annexation phase of development. I suggest that the focus at this time should be on whether the property should be inside or outside of the city limits rather than on the character of the 20 acre development which has yet to be determined.

Box 46 Owasso, Oklahoma 74055 MEMORANDUM TO: Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Richard Hall, Owasso City Planner SUBJECT: Proposal of Elden and Dorothy Birks to annex a 20 acre tract into the Owasso City Limits located west of 110th St. North and 108th East Avenue (West of the Meadowcrest Addition and South of Hale Acres). DATE: June 9, 1988 BACKGROUND This is the first citizen - sponsored annexation request since the Annexation Committee was established by the City Council on September 15, 1987. The Annexation Committee proposed procedures and criteria for annexation on February 15, 1988 which were approved by the City Council, with a minor amendment, on March 1, 1988. The adopted procedures for a citizen sponsored annexation are: 1. Submission to the City Planner of an application and petition and a administrative fee as proscribed by ordinance, 2. Review by a S recommendation to Council, 3. Notice published applicant's expense which will include annexation, tanding Annexation Committee and the Planning Commission and City once in the Owasso Reporter at the of a Planning Commission hearing a map and text of the proposed 4. Planning Commission hearing on the proposal and recommendation to the City Council, 5. Notice published two consecutive weeks in the Owasso Reporter at the applicant's expense of a City Council hearing which will include a map and text of the proposed annexation, 6. City Council hearing and action on the proposal, 7. If the proposal is approved by the City Council, an ordinance will be prepared, approved, published, and filed of record with the office of the County Clerk, with a map of the property annexed. I have had ne notice of the proposed annexation" published twice in the Owasso Reporter. There will be one more publication in the newspaper and the City Council will hear the case at its TO: The Owasso Planning Commission FROM: Richard Hall, Owasso City Planner SUBJECT: OLS -69 First Bank of Owasso (2014) - A request for a Lot Split on a portion of Lot 1 of Block 2 of the Elm Creek Condominiums Amended Addition to Owasso located South of the Southeast corner of 86th Street North and 123rd East Avenue DATE: June 10, 1988 The bank has repossessed the subject property that was originally platted for condominiums. The housing project was only partially completed, however. The bank recently approached me with a proposal to locate a nursing home on a portion of the property. As required by the Zoning Code, the bank made application to the Owasso Board of Adjustment to allow a Special Exception of the code to allow the nursing home on the undeveloped portion of the property which is zoned RM -1, multifamily. The Board of Adjustment heard the case on May 25, 1988. The Board approved the use but required a Board review of the site plan of the proposed nursing home. Some neighbors of the property were present and were concerned mostly about property values and traffic to the proposed nursing home. The Bank has now requested a lot split to split the nursing home site from the rest of its property. I have scheduled a T.A.C. meeting on the matter and I have already had one phone call from P.S.O. company about an easement problem. Evidently electric cables were buried on the lot in anticipation of the property being used for condominiums. The cables were placed in easements that were given to P.S.O. after the property was platted so I have no record of the location of the lines. Those easements will need to be,closed and new electric lines placed properly because neighboring apartments are connected to the lines. From a planning perspective, one of the lots to be created has no frontage on a dedicated street. I have discussed this problem with the bank representatives who propose to have the land- locked tract served with access easements. There is a possibility, however, that the bank may sell that land- locked tract to a neighboring owner whose property already has street frontage. In that case a lot split may be approved with the stipulation that the two tracts be considered as one and not be sold separately. I will bring more information and the comments of the T.A.C. to the June 16, 1988 Planning Commission meeting.

It was annexed into the city limits by ordinance 197 in September of 1976. Further to the north, the Hale Acres 2nd Addition was platted in July of 1972. It was annexed into the city limits by Ordinance 196 in September of 1976. The residential portions of both Hale Acres additions were zoned RS-1 by Ordinance 246 in February of 1979, Owasso zoning case OZ-36. Commercial and Duplex zoning was .granted in both Hale Acres additions by a City of Owasso sponsored zoning reauest, OZ-38, in August of 1978 by Ordinance 236. Most of the commercial lots of both Hale Acre Additions are still vacant while the majority of the residential lots now contain homes. The remainder of the area to the south, east and west of the Meadowcrest Addition is vacant and zoned AG, agricultural. One home on unplatted property is located north of the Meadowcrest on Garnett, however, and another home on an acreage is located to the east across Garnett from the entrance to the addition. SUBJECT PROPERTY BACKGROUND: The Meadowcrest Addition was platted under the auspices of TMAFC in Tulsa County. The plat was begun in April of 1975 and filed of record in June of the same year. The whole addition was annexed into the city limits of Owasso by Ordinance 198 in October of 1976. The addition contains 36 lots, one of which is a homeowner's park. The addition is fully developed. The subdivision was zoned RS-1 in April of 1977 by Ordinance 208, OZ- 29. The subdivision streets were not built to Owasso standards and since its annexation, all subdivision streets have been repaved at city expense. ZONING BACKGROUND: OZ-29 A request by Bill Rhees to rezone the 50 acre Meadowcrest Addition from AG to RS -1 in February of 1977. The Staff, Planning Commission and City Council concurred in approval of RS -1 zoning (Ordinance 208). OZ-36 A request by the City of Owasso to rezone residential portions of the Hale Acres and the Hale Acres 2nd Additions from AG to RS -1, RS -3 and RMH for single family residential and mobile home uses in May of 1978. The City Council approved a modified version of the proposal recommended by the Staff and Planning Commission (Ordinance 246). OZ -38 A request by the City of Owasso to rezone portions of the Hale Acres and the Hale Acres 2nd Additions from AG to RD and CG in August of 1978. The Staff recommended a modified approval that included apartment zoning instead of commercial zoning along the Garnett frontage. The Planning Commission and City Council concurred in approval of the zoning request as submitted with the CG commercial zoning along Garnett (Ordinance 236). STAFF ANAL':SIS: Someone from every household in the addition has signed ei.her a rezoning petition or a letter expressing approval of the proposed rezoning. Property owner approval of a zoning change is not necessary but it is an indication of the feeling in the neighborhood. The Zoning Code requires that lots zoned RE must have a minimum area of 24,000 square feet and a lot width of 150 feet. The Code further specifies that the frontage can be 125 feet measured at the building line if the lot meets the other size specifications. Two of the lots in the addition cannot meet the 125 foot lot width specification: Lot 9 of Block 1 and Lot 8 of Block 3. If the subdivision is zoned RE, those lots will become non - conforming, as defined by the Zoning Code. Since the neighborhood is already fully developed, the RE zoning of the substandard lots will have no practical effect. The lots exceed Zoning Code area standards. The smallest lot appears to be 34,596 square feet in area which is a third larger than the 24,000 square feet requirement of the Code. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of Addition. The RE zoning of the Meadowcrest Addition. The RE zoning of the subdivision will, however, create two lots do not meet lot width standards, but all lots exceed other zoning code requirements. I recommend that the platting requirement be waived since the addition is alreay platted and fully developed.
