We would like to go on record addressing two areas of concern from the home- owners' association and the Petition signers. (Copy of petitions submitted) I. Crown Colony II A. PUD- Acceptance of PUD with 5000 sq.ft. lots with a maximum of 550 homes in the approximate 167 acres. All adjacent property (except Crown Colony I -built by the same developer) is acreages. No attempt to "Harmoniously relate development of the various tracts of land to the existing community..." (Sub Div. regulations1.2.2). No buffer zones or transitional lots, just an attempt to see how many houses can possibly be built. B. TRAFFIC -No clear ingress and egress to development except through existing residential streets that were not designed or adequate to accommodate that amount of traffic. "Through Traffic: Minor streets shall be arranged so that their use by through traffic will be discouraged." (Sub Div. regulations 3.2.2). "Future Development: Where a tract to be subdivided includes only a portion of the tract owned or intended for development by the subdivider, a tentative plan of a proposed future street system for the unsubdivided remainder of the property shall be prepared and submitted by the subdivider." (Sub Div. regulations 3.2.8). One of the possible access streets proposed on the PUD was 143`d East Avenue. This street is a dead end street,.W' wide. "Residential Collector" streets are required to be 60 feet wide, with an additional 13 feet of right -of -way for 100 feet in each direction from Arterial Street intersections... (Sub Div. regulations 3.2.17) There is only a 50' easement for the street that is now only 10' wide. To widen it to even the 50' width would take out a large amount of the front yard of each home on the block. II. Direction of the Growth of Owasso A. Many of the petitioners and other citizens of the Owasso community have expressed to us the appearance of indiscriminate, uncontrolled growth - -an attitude that any and all growth is good - -where the developers set the terms. There is not enough coordination between our city officials who have exhibited almost a rabid attitude towards building developments, and our school system that is under tremendous pressure to handle the growth, and our infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, etc.) that is not adequate to meet the demand. An example of this growth mind -set can be seen as recently as the article in last week's Owasso paper "City relaxing building permit process in hopes of gaining new residents." B. Current citizens of Owasso have no advocate in the city government that will respond with action to their desires and concerns. It is time that our city planners and officials do what they were elected and appointed to do— direct our community in a direction of healthy, controlled growth, while still being business friendly, but protecting the safety and rights of existing property owners.

Kelly Wilson addressed the council about con- cerns regarding the level of service the new YMCA facility will provide Owas- so. Wilson questioned why the facility, which is cur- rently under construction ,not going to include many of the features originally planned. Susan Plank, Tulsa YMCA CEO, said construc- tion costs have .spiraled . forcing the YMCA to prior- itize. She said many of the fea- tures could;be included in a second phase of expan- sion once the new facility ty not having a sauna, steam room, whirlpool, raquetball court, indoor running track or a.stan- dard -size swimming pool. Plank said the YMCA has three projects, under construction and each are being slightly scaled back because of increasing con- struction costs. Councilors approved an agreement to provide $12 million for draining' improvements in the. Sil- ver Creek neighborhood. However, Ray said nego- tiations with the subdivi- sion's developer, Tracey Construction, had broken off late Tuesday` after- noon. He said the developer wanted $200,000 more. If an agreement cannot be reached by Monday, Ray said he will recom- mend the city pursue con- demnation 'proceedings to address the problem.
