REPORTS:

Chairman’s Reports:

Mr. Westervelt requested Mr. Stump to give an update on the status of the changes to the Zoning Code based on the Infill Development Task Force.  In response, Mr. Stump stated that the City Council considered the amendments in the committee on Tuesday, June 19, 2001 and it is on the agenda for first reading, Thursday, June 21, 2001.  There were no citizens in opposition at the committee meeting and he assumes that these amendments would move forward.

 

Mr. Westervelt requested the status on the sign ordinance.  In response, Mr. Stump stated that the housekeeping amendments to the Sign Code, which was developed by the Sign Advisory Board and public hearing at the TMAPC, have not moved forward and there is no planned action on these amendments.  Mr. Stump stated that the more comprehensive amendments that have been proposed have also been stalled at the City Council.  Mr. Stump indicated that he met with the Sign Advisory Board a month ago and gave a status report regarding these issues.  Mr. Stump stated that the Sign Advisory Board is trying to get these items reactivated.

 

Mr. Westervelt asked Mr. Stump for a status on the funding for the website enhancements.  In response, Mr. Stump stated that the budget has not been approved at this time.  However, in the Mayor’s proposal $23,000 is proposed for additional consultant work to help staff supply more information on each zoning and Board of Adjustment case onto the website.  Mr. Stump indicated that once this is done, then it could eliminate mailing to neighborhood associations that are able to access the information from INCOG’s website.

SUBDIVISIONS

LOT-SPLITS FOR WAIVER OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS:

L-19228 - Gerda Maria Kennedy                                    (PD-26) (County)

Location:  525 East New Orleans

 

Staff Recommendation:

Mrs. Kennedy purchased a ten-acre tract (Tract 1) and later purchased a three-acre parcel (Tract 2).  In 1997, Mrs. Kennedy sold the south 6.57 acres of Tract 1 with Tract 2 without obtaining a lot-split.  She now is selling the north 3.43 acres of Tract 1, which was recently annexed into Broken Arrow’s City Limits, and is required to obtain lot-split approval in order to give clear title.

 

Therefore, the applicant has applied to split the original ten-acre tract into two parcels, with the southern 6.57 acres being tied to Tract 2 for street frontage, thus creating a tract with five side-lot lines.  The applicant is seeking a waiver of Subdivision Regulations that each tract have no more than three side-lot lines.


The City of Broken Arrow has requested 60’ right-of-way along New Orleans, and the Major Street and Highway Plan calls for 50’ right-of-way along Lynn Lane.  The owner of Tract 2 has requested a waiver of the required right-of-way.  Staff considers Tract 2 to qualify for reduced dedication of right-of-way, considering Section 6.5.3.(c)(3) of the Subdivision Regulations.  Where land to be split contains, within its boundaries, areas designated for street right-of-way on the Tulsa City-County Major Street and Highway Plan, the split shall not be approved where street rights-of-way fail to conform to said plan except, upon a finding that: development made possible by the split itself will not measurably increase the burden of traffic on an adjacent street to such an extent that it would adversely affect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

 

Staff recognizes that Tract 2 has already been deeded to another party and believes this lot-split would not have an adverse effect on the surrounding properties.  Staff would therefore recommend APPROVAL of the waiver of Subdivision Regulations of the three side-lot lines, the waiver of the required right-of-way on Lynn Lane, and the lot-split, with the condition that the 60’ right-of-way on New Orleans be dedicated to the City of Broken Arrow.

 

Applicant’s Comments:

William M. Martin, 3918 South Evanston, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74105, submitted the Power of Attorney (Exhibit A-1) and requested an approval of L-19228.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

TMAPC Action; 9 members present:

On MOTION of CARNES, TMAPC voted 9-0-0 (Boyle, Carnes, Harmon, Hill, Horner, Jackson, Ledford, Midget, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Pace, Selph "absent") to APPROVE the waiver of Subdivision Regulations and the lot-split for L-19228, subject to conditions as recommended by staff.

FINAL PLAT:

Windham Hill - (2894)                                (PD-17) (CD-6)

Location:  Northwest corner of 51st and 145th East Avenue

 

Staff Recommendation:

The property is zoned CS – Commercial Shopping.  Staff found no zoning files on this property so it is assumed that the subject property has been zoned CS since the adoption of the current zoning ordinance in July 1970.  Staff has no information as to the requirement to plat so it is assumed that this plat is submitted voluntarily.

 


This plat consists of one lot in one block on .9276 acres.  It will be developed for commercial uses under CS zoning.  It is surrounded by vacant land or sparsely developed land on all sides.  Broken Arrow is east, southeast and south.

 

All releases are in and the plat is in order.  Staff recommends approval of the final plat.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

The applicant indicated his agreement with staff’s recommendation.

 

TMAPC Action; 9 members present:

On MOTION of CARNES, TMAPC voted 9-0-0 (Boyle, Carnes, Harmon, Hill, Horner, Jackson, Ledford, Midget, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Pace, Selph "absent") to APPROVE the final plat for Windham Hill as recommended by staff.

Spicewood - PUD 359-A (1283)                             (PD-18) (CD-8)

Location:  East 77th Street South, east side of South Memorial Drive

 

Staff Recommendation:

This plat consists of 37 lots in one block and two reserves on 8.73 acres.  It will be developed for single-family attached dwellings similar to townhouses.  This is a replat of Lot 2, Mayfair Courts.

 

All releases are in and the plat is in order; therefore, staff recommends approval of the final plat, subject to the plat and the covenants being modified to clarify the location of the mutual access easement that is required in order to provide access to the nursing home abutting to the east.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

The applicant indicated his agreement with staff’s recommendation.

On MOTION of HORNER, TMAPC voted 8-0-0 (Boyle, Carnes, Harmon, Hill, Horner, Jackson, Ledford, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Midget, Pace, Selph "absent") to APPROVE the final plat for Spicewood, subject to conditions recommended by staff.

Faith Assembly Church - (3224)                             (PD-14) (County)

Location:  13502 North 119th East Avenue

 

Staff Recommendation:

This plat consists of one lot in one block on 5.0 acres.  It is the site of an existing church with immediate plans for expansion.  The Board of Adjustment recently approved a special exception to permit expansion of the existing church and accessory uses.  This approval triggered the platting requirement.

 

All releases are in and the plat is in order; therefore, staff recommends approval of the final plat.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

The applicant indicated his agreement with staff’s recommendation.

 

TMAPC Action; 8 members present:
