addition to their existing facilities on properties zoned RS -3 (Single- Family Residential),
located on the south side of East 86t" Street North and west of the Owasso Expressway.
Joe Ramey presented the item and Larissa reviewed the staff report. The applicant is
requesting a special exception to allow St. Henry Church to construct an addition to their
existing facilities on property zoned RS -3 (Single - Family Residential). It is the intention
of St. Henry Church to remove the existing six structures and expand 260' southward for
additional parking. There will also be an addition made to the central portion of the
church being approximately 11,430 square feet in size. A drainage report must be
provided to public works showing that the future storm water run off will not exceed the
existing ration that is in the area at this time. Notification letters were mailed to property
owners within 300 feet of the property and the request was advertised in the newspaper.
The staff recommends approval of OBOA 09 -01.
Mr. Wally Wozencraft, the architect for the project, presented a brief presentation. He
displayed a conceptual site plan along with the proposed floor plan. Mr. Wozencraft
explained that the new building will have multiple purposes. The church will be able to
use it for educational classes or it could be opened up for dining purposes. The following
are comments /questions made by several surrounding property owners:
