0 0.01 0.03 0.05 0.08 0.1Mlles Right -of -Way Closure- Block 14, Original Town Owasso Subject Tract n
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Wendy Kramer, City Planner
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1238: Right -of -Way Closure- Block 14, Original Town of Owasso
DATE: July 11, 2025
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department received a request from Wallace Design Collective on
behalf of Tulsa City -County Library (TCCL) for the closing of the right-of-way that serves as an alleyway
Within Block 14 of the Original Town of Owasso (also known as the Owasso Cherokee Nation Indian
Ter(tory) plat.
ANALYSIS:
• The Original Town of Owasso plat was approved by the Department of the Interior in March of
1904,
• This request comes as a related item to the combined planned unit development and rezoning
requests OPUD 25-01/OZ 25-01 in which the applicant is proposing to construct a new mixed -
use building that will serve as a library on the ground floor and apartment dwellings on the
three upper floors.
• In harmony with the goals and ideas of the GrOwasso 2035 Land Use Master Plan and the
Downtown Overlay District within Chapter 10 of the Owasso Zoning Code, OPUD 25-01
proposes the orientation of the new building on the property to align alongside North Main
Street.
o This will shift the proposed building to lie directly atop the referenced alleyway right-of-
way for Block 14, Original Town of Owasso plat.
o As such, the applicant has requested the closure of this segment of right-of-way
following the relocation of utilities located within.
• All required notices were sent to all franchise holders and utility companies as well as the City
of Owasso Public Works Department.
o Staff has not been notified that the closure of this right-of-way would negatively impact
any utility companies.
However, both City of Owasso Public Works Department and AT&T have indicated the
presence of utilities within this right-of-way. In regards to this, Staff is recommending a
contingency to the approval of this request to allow for these utilities to be fully
relocated before the filing of this ordinance.
• After the proposed approval and filing of this request, the applicant intends to combine the
portion of this right-of-way that will be distributed to them along with their adjacent properties
through a lot combination that is concurrently under review (OLC 25-02).
• Upon Council action to close the right of way, the applicant is advised to take this item to
District Court and file for vacation of the subject right-of-way, which will completely remove it
from the books.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) reviewed this item at their regular meeting on June 18, 2025.
The following comments were made concerning this right-of-way closure request:
Right -of -Way Closure - Block 14, Original Town of Owasso
Page 2
Community Development -
o Right-of-way (ROW) closure is contingent upon full relocation and disconnection of City
utilities (water and sewer) in the alley; closure will not proceed until all work is
completed and accepted by City Council, per the Public Works Director
o The closure ordinance, if approved by Owasso City Council, will not be filed until all
utility relocation requirements from the Engineering Division are satisfied
o In accordance with State Statute, vacated ROW will be split equally between adjacent
property owners:
• The northern half of the ROW south of Lot 4, Block 14, (current dentist office) will
be incorporated into that lot, not the TCCL lot(s)
Public Works - Submit alley utility abandonment and relocation plans as soon as possible, may
be submitted separately from main civil review plans
AT&T - Continue coordination with AT&T regarding the time of cable relocation from the alley;
submit utility plans for coordination and review
RECOMMENDATION:
In developing a recommendation, staff evaluated the right-of-way closure request on the criteria
outlined in Chapter 8 of the Owasso Subdivision Regulations. Following this evaluation, staff concluded
that the subject right-of-way closure request meets all of the legal requirements for approval.
As such, Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 1238, approving the closure of the right-of-way
located within Block 14 of the Original Town of Owasso, contingent upon full relocation and
disconnection of City Utilities within the subject area.

�... �.�..a.��. „ JUL 15 2025
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carly Novozinsky, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA) Indebtedness
DATE: July 11, 2025
BACKGROUND:
At the OPWA meeting of July 15, 2025, the Trustees will consider a Development and Financing
Agreement with West Family Development, LLC, for the development of a project in the Owasso
Redbud Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District, Increment District No. 1.
If approved, the obligation for the payments would extend into future fiscal years, making the
agreement a debt of the OPWA. In Oklahoma, any indebtedness or obligation of a public trust
requires the approval of two-thirds (2/3) of the membership of the governing body of the
beneficiary (60 O.S. 176). Therefore, any debt of the OPWA requires the approval of four members
of the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Contingent upon OPWA approval of the Development and Financing Agreement, staff
recommends approval of the indebtedness of the OPWA as outlined in the Development and
Financing Agreement with West Family Development, LLC.
RECOMMENDATION:
Contingent upon OPWA approval of the Joint Resolution, staff recommends approval of the
indebtedness of the OPWA as outlined in the Joint Resolution with the City -County Library
Commission of Tulsa County.

Carly Novozinsky, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Owasso Redbud District and Increment District No. 1
Development and Financing Agreement
Covenant Agreement
Joint Resolution
DATE: July 11, 2025
BACKGROUND:
APPROVED BY TRUSTEES
JUL 15 2025
In December 2016, the OPWA created the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District in the downtown
Owasso Redbud District area. On April 4, 2017, the OPWA adopted a Policy Guide for the
processing of TIF Assistance in Development Financing applications.
The Policy Guide includes the process for application and approval of Development Project
Assistance. A developer seeking assistance submits an application to the Application Review
Committee. The Committee reviews the application for compatibility with the Project Plan and
the Downtown Overlay District Plan, evaluates the qualifications of the applicant, and
recommends appropriate performance parameters and requirements. Upon recommendation
by the Committee, the development agreement is presented to the OPWA for consideration and
approval.
PROJECT DETAILS:
An application has been received from West Family Development, LLC, for development
assistance on a project located on Main Street, between Broadway Street and 1 st Street.
The proposed project is the development of a unique mixed -use building that includes
construction of a new 20,000 square foot public library on the lower floor, and 50,000 square feet
of residential apartments on the upper floor. Also included is the necessary parking, access points,
and public improvements.
Upon completion of the project, the public library portion of the development will be sold by West
Family Development, LLC to the Tulsa City -County Library (TCCL). Due to the public -private nature
of this development, only the private portion is being considered for development assistance. The
public portion of the project will be exempt from ad valorem taxes, making it ineligible to receive
development assistance in the form provided by in the TIF Policy Guide.
The project appears to meet the criteria set forth in the adopted TIF Project Plan and also to meet
the requirements outlined in the adopted Owasso Redbud District and Increment District No. I
Policy Guide. Per the Project Plan and Policy Guide, the applicant would be eligible to receive
reimbursement of 10% of actual hard construction costs. Reimbursement will be provided through
90% of the ad valorem taxes assessed and received by the City for the subject development.
The proposed Development and Financing Agreement also establishes an annual minimum ad
valorem payment to be made by the developer. Should the amount billed to the developer by
the Tulsa County Assessor be less than $108,512 in any given year, the OPWA will bill the developer

for the difference. The establishment of the minimum ad valorem payment provides protection
to the City and the OPWA in case the assessed value of the project is lower than is anticipated by
the developer.
The application anticipates construction costs of $11,130,000 for the private portion of the
development, resulting in development assistance of $1,113,000. The proposed Development
and Financing Agreement further outlines obligations of the City and the developer as required
in approved TIF documents.
COVENANT AGREEMENT:
Due to the unique nature of the proposed development, a Covenant Agreement, in addition to
the Development and Financing Agreement, is being proposed. The proposed Covenant
Agreement would be filed with Tulsa County and obligates the developer, and any future owner,
to pay the minimum ad valorem payment. This ensures that even if the development is sold to a
new owner, the minimum ad valorem payment would still be received.
