explained that on May 10, 2004 the Owasso Planning Commission approved OPUD 04-
01 for a 19.75 acre residential development consisting of duplex and single family lots.
On June 1, 2004, Ordinance #782 was approved by the City Council for OPUD 04 -01.
The project consists of a total of 19.75 acres, 12 acres would be used for single - family
detached residential development and 7.75 acres would be used for duplex residential
development. The property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of 66 "'
Street North and 129"' East Avenue. The applicant has submitted engineering drawings

and a preliminary plat for review. Since it has been over 5 years since OPUD 04 -01
was approved and there has been no development activity or any permits issued, staff is
bringing the proposal back to the Planning Commission for action, which will bring the
project up to date. The subject property is vacant. The development process was
described. The overall concept of the project remains the same as approved in 2004;
however, the applicant intends to only develop the 51 single family lots on the 12 acre
portion of the property. At the platting stage, the applicant will be required to dedicate
adequate right -of -way along the west side of North 129`" East Avenue and along the
north side of 66" Street North. Sidewalks will be required along all public right -of-
ways. The City of Owasso will serve the sewer and water from Rogers County Rural
Water District 2. Staff published legal notice in the Owasso Reporter and notices were
mailed to property owners within a 300' radius of the property. Staff recommends
approval of OPUD 10 -01. The applicant was not present.
The Commissioners expressed concerns regarding the PUD requirements that have
changed since the approval of OPUD 04 -01. Charles Brown had questions pert,.1i11i11,a to
the process. When a planned unit development expires is it subject to the current
standards or the standards existing in the year it was approved? The Commissioners
agreed that if additional information was submitted, it will help them with their review
and decision process. The PUD language needs to mention the materials that will be used
on the structures, discuss the open spaces such as the park area, etc. Karl explained that
the voting could be done several different ways. The Commissioners could vote to
approve the PUD with 2004 standards and grant an extension. The item could be tabled
until further information is submitted. Alternatively, this item could be denied and the
applicant could go back through the PUD process under the current codes. Karl also
explained that he would have to research the difference in the PUD standards between
2004 and 2011. City Attorney, Julie Trout Lombardi stated that if this PUD were
approved, Mr. Sokolosky would be held to the standards of 2004, unless but the motion
was stated " subject to standards in effect today ".
The following property owners were present to express their concerns with the proposed
development:
Cindee Treat - 6905 North 129 East Avenue - Had questions regarding how the sewer
was going to run. She was not notified when the PUD was submitted in 2004.
Doug Pruitt - 6736 North 129 East Avenue - Does not want duplexes. The blasting for
infrastructure will damage his home. Play by the rules of today and deny the request.
Chit Davis - 6811 North 129 East Avenue - The dynamiting at Keys Landing caused his
in ground pool to crack. It took six months to settle the claim. Does not want it to
happen again. He has lived there 33 years.
Josh Lemmons - 7006 North 129 East Avenue - If the 2004 PUD is expired it needs to be
brought up to date. The blasting of rock will be a problem. There will also be problems
with trash blowing from a new development.

David Vines stated that the Commissioners need to set a standard on how we will handle
an expired PUD in the future. There are several stalled projects in the city limits of
Owasso. He also stated that he feels comfortable tabling the item in order to allow the
PUD to meet today' s requirements. In addition, a draft of the covenants and a revised
conceptual drawing that reflects the 51 single - family lots and a layout for the duplex lots
needs to be submitted. Dr. Callery explained that the changes in the code would
influence his decision and feels that the PUD should not be approved with the 2004
guidelines; they should meet the 2011 standards. However, Dr. Callery stated that he
does not have a problem with the land use.
David Vines moved to table OPUD 10 -01 until the following issues are clarified:
• How did planned unit development regulations differ in 2004 versus 2011?
• Is there any precedent for stalled projects that have expired?
• Show details on the amenities such as exterior facades, open spaces, park areas,
etc.
