Motion seconded by Sharonell Stevens. Approved.
Chairman Alan Anderson received copies of a re- zoning application
from Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission late last week
and requested the Commission meet to study the proposal and for-
ward comments to them by Wednesday, June 24th.
The application concerned the proposed re- zoning of approximately
67.5 acres of land which lies between Last 106th St. N. and North
135th Ave. (SE4, NW4 and S2. NE4 and S2 NE4, NE4, NW4 and SE4, NW41
NE4, NW4 all in Section 16- 21 -14). The application was submitted
to TMAPC by the owner 11. D. Hale on May 22, 1970 and seeks to
re -zone the area from agriculture to residential mobile home.
John Groth reminded the Commission that rural water is not to
promote development but to supply already developed areas. It is
a tax burden to the public since low cost government loans were
used to build these water districts and the taxpayer has to pick
up the deficit. The area in question is supplied by the Washingio n
County Rural Water District No. 3 which is inadequate at present.
If the Town of Owasso decided to take the area into their city
limits the system would be sub - standard and the expense involved
in bringing it up to our standards would be almost prohibitive.
Tom Rikkola mention that any water system in a development of this
type must be of a size to provide fire protection and the pressure
and lines (4" at 129th and 106th) in that area are inadequate.
After checking the rasps it was discovered that the closest line of
reasonable capacity for sufficient volume is a 6" line a mile away
from the proposed development and this would only provide marginal
satisfaction. It was suggested that this line would have to be
looped to provide proper operating pressure.
The Commission discussed the several mobile home parks already
approved, additions being made and those being developed and
discovered they were talking about eight to nine '_undred units
in this immediate vicinity. It was agreed that, e,Dnomically,
there was no need for additional mobile homes.
Bob Peel questioned the sewage disposal plans. It is a lagoon
system which would add effulents to the stock ponds in the
area and would create pollution problems. It was agreed the
only acceptable sewa-'e disposal would be connection to the
TOGin of Owasso and John said this would be terribly expensive
and not feasible at this time.
The overcrowded condition of the schools was discussed and it
was agreed that the proposed development would not be of any
benefit to the school system.
It was mcntioned that the plans for the actual mobile home park
provide inadequate egress and ingress and further, that a mobile
home park is not compatible with the future planned. zoning; of
that :'rep.
Guy Manning moved the proposed re- zoning application not be
recommended to Tl ^iPC and the secretary fortrard a letter to the
11"PC stating our decision and the reasons. Bob Peel seconded
the motion. Approved unanimously.
