Other comments: Date 06�✓ enn ��yzo .v9�r,or� 1wssv ""& i3J�.vo� January 14, 2008 - Owasso, Oklahoma The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Owasso, Oklahoma RE: Planned Unit Development # OPUD 07 -03 As a resident of property directly affected by this proposed Planned Unit Development I am writing to express the concerns of my wife and myself. We first learned of this proposal when we received a letter from the City of Owasso concerning the status of the land in question and its being annexed by the city or county of Tulsa. Subsequently a second letter arrived concerning the PUD. At that time 1 went to the City Hall and met with Mr. Uric Wiles and he gave me a copy of the PUI) proposal. I took that material home with me and studied it and went back to the City Hall a few days later and met a second time with Mr. Wiles. What happened at our second meeting disturbed me a great deal. I asked Mr. Wiles several questions about the proposal and general overall city planning map. We had some discussion and when I asked Mr. Wiles directly what he felt was the "highest and best use of the property" under consideration he said to me, and I quote• "You are not listening to me.." unquote. He had indicated during our conversation that day, words to the effect, that it was his responsibility to see to it that the owners get the best possible financial deal for their property. I found this response to my questions quite disturbing, to say the least. So I told him what I felt was the highest and best use of the property and again he said to me, "You're not listeniniz to me." At that point I felt it was useless to continue our conversation but I did mention to him that I had been involved with some City Planning in the past in the Community of Eden Prairie; Minnesota: I served that community as mayor for four terms and one term as a member of the City Council during the years of 1966 through 198{1. I felt insulted, as a citizen and a property owner and resident of Owasso, by Eric Wiles response to my questions during our conversation but I thanked him for taking time to meet with me and left the City Hall. During our conversation I tried to express my opinion that the highest and best use of the property under consideration would be to develop it as part of the Owasso Sports complex and park. He seemed to have closed his mind to any such idea and was dead set on defending the development of the property as a site for the proposed PUD and apartments and he told me the apartments would eventually extend clear out to the commercial site proposed on 106th. My wife had an injury some five years ago that limits her mobility and both of our ages preclude us from attending meetings such as you are having this evening, I apologize that I cannot be in attendance, in person, to express my objections to and concerns about the PUD. The proposal, as I read it, is so sketchy, and incomplete it should be returned to the City planning staff and /or the proponents for more detailed information as to their eventual plans for the entire site from the Sports Park for all the acreage involved. Once that 18 acres is rezoned the die is cast for a "patchwork and crazy quilt" zoning and development of the adjoining properties. At that point your Master Plan for the community becomes fair game for any and every developer to make similar vague proposals. Please reject, or at the very least, return the proposal at hated to the developer for a specifically detailed plate for the property under consideration and any plans they may have for adjoining, undeveloped properties. Thank you all, for accepting my comments, and for considering them as you make your deliberations. f David W. Osterholt 11029 N. 99th E. Ave. Owasso, OK 74055
