The regularly scheduled meeting of the Owasso Planning Commission
was called to order by the Chairman at 7 :30 P.M. in the City Hall
February 15, 1973.
PRESENT: Alan Anderson, Chairman
John Groth
Tom Rikkola
Sharonell Stevens
GUESTS: Noble Campbell, City Manager
Mike Elms, TMAPC Representative
Diana Pendergraft
Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The
Chairman turned the meeting to Mike Elms who began a discussion
of proposed amendments to the Zoning Code. It is his recommen--
dation that we add a Residential Multifamily District, a Resi-
dential Duplex District; and a Residential Estate District.
Our present codes call for 19 -25 units per acre density. The
new zoning would permit variety and controls. There would be
some bulk and area requirement changes. Alan pointed out that
with present zoning, an RM permit could veeult in someone build-
ing an apartment when the intent oT tfe Commission would be for
a duplex, we would have tighter control with the new plan. At
present there is no provision for Townhouse development. There
was some discussion as to the definition of a Townhouse. A
definition will be included in the final recommendation; however,
our building code should spell out whether the units of four
dwellings will be separated by a "party wall" or "fire wall"
John Groth suggested we go ahead and work out the format for
what we want with Mike. Tom would like to have some of our
corrections charted, i.e., lower density preferred, retain lot
and land area requirements, leaving RM as-it is, etc. The
Commission agreed that in order to stay on top of the trend in
building we must set controls before applications come in. Limit-
ing townhouse development to 14 units per acre (same as Multifamily
with 2 or more bedrooms); adding RE as presented and adding the
Residential Duplex District were discussed. It was-recommended
that Mike revise and present at our nextmeeting the corrections
discussed. We will set a date for the public hearing at that time.
John Groth moved the following amendment to the Subdivision Re-
gulations: "A final plat that is approved by the City Council shall
be filed for record in the office of the County Clerk not later than
the last day of the sixth(6th) month following the month in which
approval was given, or within such extended time period as may be
provided by action of the City Council. If the final plat is not
filed for record within the prescribed amount of time, then the
developer will be required to go through the Planning Commission
and City Council for final approval again', The motion was seconded
and carried.
Noble Campbell and Mike Elms suggested we consider fence line zon-
ing. This is an area with no residents, therefore no city services
are required. The advantage to fence line zoning is to keep another
municipality from encroaching in your trade area and also keeps
others from creating another city just outside the five mile peri-
meter. A realistic boundary on the south would be 66th St. N.;
126th on the North; not much past M Morial on the West and as much
106
as six miles (in a rather jagged line) to the East. Alan asked
the TMAPC representative to proceed with aerials, etc. to further
study at our next meeting.
Mike gave us each the new calendars. Our next meeting will be
March 22, 1973.
The secretary was instructed to have her minutes typed and returned
to City Hall at the earliest convenience so that copies may be made
and transmitted to the Councilmen before their meeting.
There being no further business to .come before the meeting, the
Chairman declared it adjourned.
