Marilyn Hinkle presented the item and Eric Wiles reviewed the staff report. The location
and the surrounding land use were described. The staff requests that the Planning
Commission approve an amendment to the Owasso Land Use Master Plan use for this
property. The staff proposes that the use designation for the property be changed to
residential. When updating the use designations on the Master Plan, the City first
considers two primary questions; first, " what is the highest and best use of the property ",
and second, " what is the predominant development pattern already established in the
area ". A significant area of floodplain exists along the western, northern, and eastern
sides of the tract. This floodplain forms an effective buffer from the five -acre tract to the
east, which is planned for future commercial use. With the floodplain situated on the
tract, it is unclear what the highest and best use would be. Staff finds that the future use
of this property ought to be residential. The annexation request was turned down by the
Planning Commission on June 8, 2009. The applicant appealed that decision to the City
Council. The City Council requested the Planning Commission to consider the Master
Plan designation prior to the Council' s consideration of the appeal. Staff recommends
that the Planning Commission change the designated land use for the subject property
from Transitional Use to Residential Use. The following are comments and concerns
from surrounding property owners:
Paula Hamlin - 15052 E. 106 St. No. - Feels that residential is the best use for the
property. Please approve staff s recommendation.
Lila Martini - 10103 N. 151 E. Ave - Has storm water concerns and doesn' t
want the water flow disturbed. Enjoys the wildlife in the area.
Paul Pennekamp - 14814 E. 104 St. No. - He had questions regarding the
floodplain regulation amendments.
Dale Kunze - 10207 N. 147 E. Ave. - It has been promised to the nearby
property owners that there would not be any multi - family if this property
develops. Has storm water concerns.
Eric explained the steps needed in order to change the floodplain. He also explained that
this item is not about zoning but it is about the different uses. When the property owner
asks for a different zoning the city would process the zoning or planned unit development
application and surrounding property owners would be notified. Eric clarified the
meaning of a planned unit development.
Charles Brown moved to approve the designation from transitional use to residential use.
Dr. Callery seconded. A vote on the motion was recorded as follows:
