land use was described. The Board took action on this item at the October 26 meeting.

for the benefit of the applicant so they could close on the property. The purpose of
hearing this item again is to ensure that the procedure is followed correctly. The
applicant is requesting a special exception to allow for a church use on a 5 -acre tract
located at 10857 East 116th Street North currently zoned agriculture. The Owasso
Annexation Committee approved the request to annex on September 22, 2010. The
Owasso Planning Commission approved the request to annex at their meeting on October
11, 2010. The Owasso City Council approved the request at their meeting on October 19,
2010. The tract is subject to the Emergency Storm Siren Fee ($35.00 per acre). The
property is also subject to the Rural Water District #3 of Washington County's payback
area. Letters were mailed to all property owners within three - hundred (300) feet of the
subject property and the request was advertised in the Owasso Reporter. The staff
recommends approval of OBOA -10 -05 with the following conditions:
