CALL TO ORDER - Marilyn Hinkle called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM and declared a quorum present. 2. ROLL CALL 3. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF AUGUST 13, 2007 REGULAR MEETING - The Commission reviewed the minutes of August 13, 2007 regular meeting. David Vines moved to approve the minutes and Charles Brown seconded the motion. A vote on the motion was recorded as follows: David Vines - Yes Marilyn Hinkle - Yes Charles Brown - Yes Dan Draper - Recuse The motion was approved 3 -0. 4. Annexation OA -07 -05 - A request to review and approve the annexation and rezoning of approximately 76.37 acres, located south of East 86' Street North, approximately l /4nile west of N. Memorial. Marilyn Hinkle presented the item and the staff report was reviewed: The surrounding land use and the annexation process were explained. The applicant is requesting the annexation of 76.37 acres. The lots are planned for residential use. This application is in conjunction with a rezoning request of RS -3 (Residential Single - Family). This item was heard by the Owasso Planning Commission in August. There were citizens present at the August meeting requesting the commission reconsider the proposed zoning and lot sizes. The item was tabled due to lack of representation of the owner. Staff published legal notice in the Owasso Reporter and letters of notification were mailed to property owners within a 300' radius. The Annexation Committee reviewed the request and unanimously recommended approval. Ron Staggs made a brief presentation to the Commissioners. He explained that they are planning on approximately 280 lots OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION September 10, 2007 Page No. 2 with a RS -3 zoning. He also stated that a number of the lots will be an equivalent size of RS -2 sized lots. Mr. John Palovik handed out an opposition summary (attached). The following are comments /concerns made by citizens against the rezoning portion of the request: Sue Piggott - 8500 East 116 Street North - Wants north Tulsa County rural areas to be protected. This development would spread the police, fire and ambulance services too thin. This development would overload downstream drainage. Steve Montee - 6705 East 80 Street North - Our country environment is in danger. Development in rural areas increases risk of burglary, trespassing, and vandalism. The Crossing subdivision was denied zoning in March 2004, and then almost denied RE zoning at a later date. Don't make denser than RE (Residential Estates) zoning. Drainage problems would worsen. John Palovik - 7302 East 86 Street North - RE zoning is more appropriate. This type of zoning would be spot zoning. The surrounding residents are strongly opposed; the area is not contiguous to any dense development. Scott Winn - 7900 North Sheridan - Opposes annexation request. The requested density is out of line for the area. Brian Watson - 7528 East 86 Street North - He had traffic concerns. The residents in this subdivision might trespass and harm existing property. He moved here for a county lifestyle. Mr. Tom Morris, the developer, discussed the detention ponds and stated that sewer and water will be available at this location soon. He also explained that PSO is building a substation on north Memorial to provide services to the subject property. Mr. Joe Nurre with Public Works explained that if this subdivision is annexed trash and sewer will be serviced by the City of Owasso. Water will be serviced by Rural Water District. The Commissioners determined that a split zoning could be considered. David Vines moved to approve the annexation and rezoning as requested. There was no second to the motion. Dan Draper moved to approve the annexation, and approval of a rezoning of AG to RS -2 zoning, subject to the City Council working with the developer in order to make recommendations to the Board of Adjustment, so adjustments can be made to the necessary lots. Marilyn Hinkle seconded the motion. A vote on the motion was recorded as follows: David Vines - No Marilyn Hinkle - Yes Charles Brown - Yes OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION September 10, 2007 Page No. 3 Dan Draper - Yes The motion was approved 3 -1. 5. Rezoning OZ 07 -06 - A request to review and approve the rezoning of Lot One (1), Block One (1), Sherrill Estates from RS -3 (Residential) to OM (Office Medium), located at 102 West 11 "' Street North. Marilyn Hinkle presented the item and Chip reviewed the staff report. The development process was described. The applicant is requesting to rezone I lot located south of Sokolosky Medical Clinic at 102 West 11`h Street, from RS -3 (Residential) to OM (Office Medium). This zoning change is in compliance with the proposed update to the Owasso 2025 Land Use Master Plan. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners and the legal advertisement was published. Staff recommends approval. A letter expressing objection was received from Neighborhood Newspapers (attached). Discussion was held regarding the required parking spaces. Several surrounding property owners were present to express their concerns. Sheryl Armstrong - 110 West 11`h - Had concerns with parking. Also concerns with the possible increase in property taxes and the decline in property value. Dallas Kelsey - 1008 North Ash - He had questions regarding the difference in OL zoning and OM zoning. Had parking concerns, he feels that street is already congested since it is a dead -end street. Troy Willstead - With the house being 890 sq.ft. the parking should not be a problem. David Vines moved to approve an OL (Office Light) zoning, subject to the placement of a 6' screening fence where the property meets residential property. The motion was seconded by Charles Brown. A vote on the motion was recorded as follows: David Vines - Yes Marilyn Hinkle - Yes Charles Brown - Yes Dan Draper - Yes The motion was approved 4 -0. 6.

This rezoning would strain the public service resources -It is more difficult to support police, fire, ambulance, or code enforcement services -Rural development overloads downstream drainage capabilities -RE zoning allows development at a more appropriate density for this area Steve Montee - 6705 E. 80th St. North- Neighborhood Lifestyle - Residents moved here for a rural setting and to avoid the more urban development areas - General Goal #5 in the Comprehensive Plan states "It is intended that the aesthetic and natural environment of North Tulsa County be protected and enhanced." Dense development contradicts that goal - Development in rural areas increases risk of burglary, trespassing, and vandalism -CZ 337 denied residential zoning 8 -0 at 76th and Sheridan -CZ 347 barely allowed RE zoning 4 -3 on the adjoining Crossings property -59 home owners (97% of those contacted) signed a petition opposing RE rezoning of the Crossing John Palovik - 7302 E. 86th St. North- Planninq & Codes -RE zoning is more appropriate per the "orderly transition," "wasteful scattering," and "economy" concepts outlined in Code Section 300A, 30013, 300C and 400.2 -This would be spot zoning contrary to the Plan Intensity Goal #2 -The planning objective of "aggregating compatible areas" supports RE zoning - Owasso Master Plan states annexed properties should be "contiguous to the city limits" - Owasso Subdivision regulations call for property to "harmoniously relate ... to the existing community" Owasso annexation of an adjoining property was declined in 2004 for good reason and directly contradicts the appropriateness of this proposal. -To summarize, the residents are strongly opposed, the area is not contiguous to any dense development, and RE zoning is the maximum density supported by the Code, the Plan, and established planning objectives Presentation Exhibits Summary of Presentations - above Exhibit A - Aerial photo of surrounding properties Exhibit B - Petition signatures regarding the Crossings rezoning Exhibit C - North Tulsa County Comprehensive Plan Exhibit D - Minutes from Annexation OA -04 -05 REZONING OPPOS Southeast Corner of 8 ON PETITION (CASE CZ -347 Street North and Sheridan I AM A LAND OWNER IN THE SAME SECTION AND OPPOSE THE REZONING OF 160 ACRES FROM AGRICULTURAL TO RESIDENTIAL ESTATE AS IT WOULD NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING RESIDENCES.

It is intended that the aesthetic and natural environment of North Tulsa County be protected and enhanced. Intensity Goals Section: 2. It is intended to allow compatible land uses to be located with each other and to establish and maintain a continuity of similar land 'uses. Intensity Objectives Section: 4. Rural residential intensity uses will be preserved in portions of the Plan- ning Area where fewer public services are available and physical conditions restrict urban development. Development Sensitive Area Sections: 3. Intensity within development sensitive areas� will .generally be one half of the base intensity, unless the developer utilizes the PUD supaplemental zoning district provisions. The use of a •Planned Unit Deveioament zoning classification is recommended for develo -oment in these areas. A-icultural uses are appropriate in these areas, Agricultural Area Goals Section: 2. It is intended to protect agricultural areas from premature, unplanne.dt urbanization until a full range of public facilities, services and utn.- lities are available. Residential Area Policies Section: 10. No residential develooment shall be butt at an urban scale (that is, great- er than the rural residential density o =f 1.5 units per acres) until urban scale public utilities are available and said development can be added to public water and sewer systems. OWASSO ANNEXATION COMMITTEE Chief Dan Yancey Ken Fisher Rickey Hayes Dan Salts, Fire Marshall Joe Nurre, Public Works The meeting agenda was posted in Owasso City Hall, 111 N. Main St. at 12:00 pm on June 22, 2004. 1. CALL TO ORDER — Duane Cuthbertson called the meeting to order at 5:07 pm. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE MAY, 26, 2004 MEETING -- Rickey Hayes moved, seconded by Steve Cataudella, to accept the minutes as presented. The motion carried 7 — 0. ANNEXATION REVIEW 3. ANNEXATION REQUEST OA 04 -05 — A request for the review and approval to annex 160 acres of property located in the southeast corner of N. Sheridan Rd. and E. 86t` St. N. The property in question is the NW /4 of Section 26, T -21 -N, R- 13-E. Duane Cuthbertson presented the annexation request and solicited discussion from the committee. Joe Nurre began the discussion by stating that the nearest sewer is more than a mile away from the subject property and although the developer would be responsible for extending the sewer from the nearest stub to the site Mr. Nurre expressed concern with extending utilities that far in one shot and questioned the extensions efficiency. It was pointed out that a majority of the remainder of the section is divided into smaller (10 acres or less) rural residential+ lots and there seems little prospect for future urban development in the section therefore making the extension of utilities and service seem even more inefficient. He also added that trash service to the area would be quite inefficient as well due to the distance from existing service routes.

He also added that trash service to the area would be quite inefficient as well due to the distance from existing service routes. Exhibit D Eric Wiles agreed with the above comments and added that as far as he can recall this request represents the furthest extension, at any given time, of corporate boundaries in the history of Owasso. He added that this particular request (skipping over undeveloped land) represents what most consider bad urban planning policy. He explained that the stated intention of the developer to develop the property into a moderately dense residential subdivision in line with the city's RS -3 (Residential Single Family) zoning district is incompatible with the existing character of surrounding development and he went further to explain that these intentions are inconsistent with the Owasso 2010 Land Use Master Plan as the subject property is characterized as having rural to low density land uses. Chief Dan Yancey submitted that any intensity of development in that area would be impractical for the police force to sufficiently patrol due to its distance from established patrol areas. He also stated that annexing property so far from contiguous city limits will leave a large gap of non jurisdictional property between the two city limits thereby exposing his patrolmen to unnecessary risk and liability. Staff asked if there were any reasons to annex the property. Rickey Hayes responded by stating that if the property develops it may serve the City of Owasso better to be able to ensure that the property develop to our standards. Mr. Wiles replied that the City of Owasso has traditionally had influence on decisions rendered by Tulsa Country regarding development around the City of Owasso and that we will be given an opportunity to contribute to any possible future discussions regarding the development of this tract of land in or outside of the city limits. Rickey Hayes made a motion to recommend denial of OA 04 -05, Steve Cataudella seconded the motion to recommend denial. The motion was unanimously carried 7 — 0. 4. ADJOURNMENT — Mr. Rooney moved, seconded by Mr. Hayes for adjournment. The motioned carried 7 — 0.
