SUBDIVISIONS

LOT-SPLITS FOR WAIVER OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS:

 

L-19240 - Michelle Cole                                       (PD-6) (CD-9)

Location:  4807 South Zunis

 

Staff Recommendation:

The applicant has applied to split a small triangle off the north of Tract 2 and tie it to Tract 1, making the common boundary line horizontal.  Both tracts meet all zoning requirements; however, the proposed configuration will continue to result with Tract 1 having more than three side-lot lines.  Therefore, the applicant is seeking a waiver of Subdivision Regulations that each tract have no more than three side-lot lines. 

 

Staff believes this lot-split would not have an adverse effect on the surrounding properties and would therefore recommend APPROVAL of the waiver of Subdivision Regulations and of the lot-split.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

TMAPC Action; 6 members present:

On MOTION of HORNER, TMAPC voted 6-0-0 (Hill, Horner, Jackson, Midget, Ledford, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Boyle, Carnes, Harmon, Pace, Selph "absent") to APPROVE the waiver of Subdivision Regulations and of the lot-split for L-19240 as recommended by staff.

 

* * * * * * * * *

 

 

L-19245 - Matt Thompson                        (PD-15) (County)

Location: 12228 North Memorial

 

Staff Recommendation:

The applicant has applied to split a 1320’ X 330’ ten-acre parcel into two tracts.  Both tracts meet all the AG bulk and area requirements; however, the required right-of-way has not been given.

 

North Memorial is designated as a secondary arterial, requiring 100’ of right-of-way.  Tulsa County Engineering has requested the full 50’ right-of-way, which would be an additional 33.5’ to the existing 16’5’ statutory easement.  The applicant has requested a waiver of the Subdivision Regulations that require any additional right-of-way along Memorial.

 

Staff considers this lot-split 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.

 

Given the development of the area, staff would recommend APPROVAL of the waiver of Subdivision Regulations for 20’ of required right-of-way, and of the lot-split, with the condition that 30’ right-of-way from the center of the road be given to Tulsa County along Memorial.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

The applicant indicated his agreement with staff’s recommendation.

 

TMAPC Action; 6 members present:

On MOTION of HORNER, TMAPC voted 6-0-0 (Hill, Horner, Jackson, Midget, Ledford, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Boyle, Carnes, Harmon, Pace, Selph "absent") to APPROVE the waiver of Subdivision Regulations and of the lot-split for L-19245, subject to the condition that 30’ right-of-way from the center of the road be given to Tulsa County along Memorial as recommended by staff.

L-19252 - Larry Wayne Rudluff                            (PD-9) (County)

Location: 5120 West 27th Place

 

Staff Recommendation:

The applicant has applied to split a 10’ X 60’ strip off Tract 2 and tie it to Tract 1, to make the common boundary line follow the existing fence.  Both tracts meet all zoning requirements; however the proposed configuration will result with both tracts having more than three side-lot lines.  Therefore, the applicant is seeking a waiver of Subdivision Regulations that each tract have no more than three side-lot lines.

 

Staff believes this lot-split would not have an adverse effect on the surrounding properties and would therefore recommend APPROVAL of the waiver of Subdivision Regulations and of the lot-split.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

Applicant was not present.

PRELIMINARY PLAT:

Rockford Village - (3093)                              (PD-6) (CD-9)

Location:  East 41st Street South & South Rockford Avenue

 

Staff Recommendation:

This plat consists of 46 lots in one block and one reserve on 4.5 acres.  It will be developed for townhouse residential dwellings on 22’ wide lots.  There is an underlying plat called “Forty-First Addition” that contains a public street.

 

The following were discussed June 21, 2001 at the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting:

 

1.

Zoning:

 

Staff: The property is zoned RM-2 (Residential Multifamily Medium Density). Townhouse use is allowed by right in RM-2. The proposed lots are in accordance with the Zoning Code standards for minimum lot size but there is a concern with setback and/or yard requirements on several of them. On Lots 22 and 23, the required setback from the centerline of 41st Street is 85 feet. This would leave only 16 feet on which to build on those two lots. On Lot 46, there is a side yard requirement of 10 feet. This leaves only 17.8 feet of buildable width. Building lines should be shown on these three lots to put the public on notice of these requirements. Variances should not be granted in the future based on the lots being too narrow because the hardship would be self-imposed.

It is a matter of interpretation whether Chapter 10 of the Zoning Code would require a five-foot perimeter landscape strip. The applicant should satisfy himself about this requirement and provide for it if needed.

2.

Streets/access:

 

Staff: The proposal is for private streets with 22’ wide paving in 24’ wide right-of-way for drive areas along the east and west sides and 32’ wide with 34’ wide right-of-way along Rockford Avenue. Construction will be in accordance with City specs for minor residential streets.

 

Public Works Traffic & Transportation: Rockford Avenue should be labeled “Private”; Existing road easement at the northeast corner should be vacated; Need limits of no access (LNA) at the stub end of 41st Place on the west side of the property; Limits of No Access language needs to be in the covenants; ingress and egress at 41st is tight, particularly for service vehicles. The corner radii should be greater in this area; a crash gate will likely be required by the Fire Department at the south end connection with Rockford.

 

Applicant: Will study the maneuverability within the site and will meet with Traffic to discuss; Rockford is closed to the south and there is no access proposed or desired.

3.

Sewer:

 

Staff: No comments.

 

Public Works Waste Water: Extend sewer main to serve Lot 22; need 15’ sanitary sewer easements; take landscape easements out of utility easements.

 

Applicant: Consent

4.

Water:

 

Staff: No comments.

 

Public Works Water: Need easement for six-inch waterline.

 

Applicant: Consent

5.

Storm Drainage:

 

Staff: No comments.

 

Public Works Stormwater: Provide compensatory storage in the reserve with a maximum depth of 18 inches; elevate all buildings one foot above the floodplain; pipe all drainage from this site and provide easements and include in covenants; show finished floor elevations for each lot on the plat.

 

Applicant: Consent

6.

Utilities:

 

Staff: No comments.

 

PSO: Wants to see water and sanitary sewer plans.  This is a very tight development and there may not be enough room for transformers.

TMAPC Comments:

Mr. Westervelt asked Mr. Beach if there would be an accompanying PUD with this preliminary plat.  In response, Mr. Beach stated that there is no PUD and private streets are permitted in a townhouse development.

 

Applicant’s Comments:

Ted Sack, 111 South Elgin Avenue, Tulsa Oklahoma 74120, stated that he has met with the Fire Marshall and have eliminated some of the concerns regarding accessibility to the subject property.  He explained that he has agreed to have additional crash gates to allow for more convenience to the rear of the units.

 

Mr. Sack stated he is in agreement with staff’s recommendation and he is currently working out the details with Public Works and the private utility companies.

 

TMAPC Comments:

Mr. Westervelt asked if the crash gates would be located at East 42nd Street South at the rear of the project where it abuts the residential neighborhood.  In response, Mr. Sack stated that he has always concurred that there would be a crash gate at the 42nd Street location; additionally, there would be crash gates at 41st Street that would line up with the rear drive to allow the Fire Department access to the rear of the subject property.

 

Interested Parties Comments:

Nancy Apgar, president of Brookside Neighborhood Association, 3914 South Norfolk, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74105-3125, stated that the association and neighbors agreed to close 41st Street because originally there was going to be a retirement and assisted living homes.  She indicated that there was a lot contingent closing the street, but after voting, it was decided to close it.  Now she fears that there would be a lot of discord because the neighborhood doesn’t know about this preliminary plat for townhouses.

 

Ms. Apgar indicated that she talked with Mr. Kallay and he does good work.  The townhouses would benefit the adjoining houses and the businesses in Brookside.

 

Ms. Apgar asked about the underlying plat called the 41st Addition, which contains the public street.  She asked if the neighbors do not agree with keeping Rockford closed at 42nd Street it can be protested.  She stated that she is interested in protecting the neighborhood.  She explained that she understood that on the east and west sides there would be a green space of 38 feet landscaped and maybe a fence.  She would like to protect the neighbors on the east, west and south sides so that they have a nice landscaped area and the townhouses are not built right up to their houses.  The existing homes are all one-story homes and townhouses are two stories, which would look over the houses in the neighborhood.

 

Ms. Apgar reminded the Planning Commission that there has been flooding in the subject area in the past and she would like the City of Tulsa to protect the neighbors regarding drainage issues.  She requested that the space on the east, west and south sides be addressed as to whether it would be 38 feet or 24 feet wide with the closing of the street.

 

TMAPC Comments:

Mr. Westervelt reminded Ms. Apgar that the Planning Commission does not deal with stormwater issues, but her concerns are on record.  He assured her that the Public Works Department would do a good job reviewing this development and addressing these issues.

 

Mr. Westervelt explained that today the preliminary plat is the only issue before the Planning Commission.

 

Applicant’s Rebuttal:

Mr. Sack stated that the street was vacated and closed through District Court and there was no stipulation as to the use of the property.  The architect is working on the units and currently he plans to have a drive in the back of the units.  There would be a small landscaped area with bushes adjacent to the property line, then the drive and units.  He indicated that there would probably be 24 feet adjacent to the property.  He explained that he is not changing the zoning, and with an RM-2 zoning, two-story apartments are allowed within ten feet of the property line.  He stated that this proposal would be exceeding the requirements regarding the setbacks that are allowed.

 

Mr. Stump stated that the Planning Commission may need to go on record as having an additional special condition that would have Limits of No Access except for emergency vehicles on 42nd and 41st Place in order to accomplish something like this.

 

TMAPC Action; 6 members present:

On MOTION of LEDFORD, the TMAPC voted 6-0-0 (Hill, Horner, Jackson, Ledford, Midget, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Boyle, Carnes, Harmon, Pace, Selph "absent") to recommend APPROVAL of the preliminary plat for Rockford Village, subject to special conditions and standard conditions, subject to the additional special condition of no access to East 42nd Street South and East 41st Place South as recommended by staff.  (Language in the staff recommendation that was deleted by TMAPC is shown as strikeout; language added or substituted by TMAPC is underlined.)

MODIFICATION OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS:

Academy Sports and Outdoors – (Z-5537-SP-3) (784)          (PD 18) (CD 8)

Location: Northeast of East 81st Street and South U.S. Highway 169

 

Staff Recommendation:

The applicant is requesting a modification of the Subdivision Regulations that require sidewalks on both sides of collector streets.  They wish to build sidewalks on only the west side of South 107th East Avenue and on the north side of East 79th Place South.

 

This plat consists of one lot in one block on 26.07 acres. It will be developed as a retail recreation and sporting goods store with 67,522 SF of floor area.  The property is irregular in shape and wraps around a five-acre square that contains a PSO substation.

 

The TMAPC approved the preliminary and final plats recently and the item is scheduled for hearing by the City Council Thursday July 12, 2001.  The applicant made this request by letter in May but staff failed to include the request with any of the plat approvals.

 

The collector streets abut the substation and sidewalks on the substation sides would serve no useful purpose.  Sidewalks are being provided in locations where they will properly serve the development and provide for continuation in the future.

 

Staff recommends approval of modification of Subdivision Regulations.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

No applicant present.

 

TMAPC Action; 6 members present:

On MOTION of HORNER, TMAPC voted 6-0-0 (Hill, Horner, Jackson, Midget, Ledford, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Boyle, Carnes, Harmon, Pace, Selph "absent") to APPROVE the modification of Subdivision Regulations for Academy Sports and Outdoors as recommended by staff.

PLAT WAIVER:

PUD 193-A (292)                          (PD 10) (CD 4)

Location: West side of Tisdale Parkway, approximately 250 feet south of West Edison Street

 

Staff Recommendation:

This PUD major amendment was processed recently to allow the antenna and tower. This triggered the platting requirement.

 

It is the TMAPC’s policy to waive the platting requirement for antennas and supporting structures under Use Unit 4, Public Protection and Utility Facilities.

 

Staff administratively waived formal TAC review and recommends approval of the plat waiver.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

The applicant indicated his agreement with staff’s recommendation.

 

TMAPC Action; 6 members present:

On MOTION of MIDGET, TMAPC voted 6-0-0 (Hill, Horner, Jackson, Midget, Ledford, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Boyle, Carnes, Harmon, Pace, Selph "absent") to APPROVE the plat waiver for PUD-193-A as recommended by staff.

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF DEDICATION:

Lot 2, Block 1, Mayfair Courts (a.k.a. Spicewood)           (PD 18) (CD 8)

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

 

Staff Recommendation:

Spicewood final plat was approved June 20, 2001.  Final City Council approval and recording is imminent. It is a replat of Lot 2, Block 1, Mayfair Courts.  This document seeks to amend the PUD development standards contained in this part of the underlying Mayfair plat.  The applicant requests the Planning Commission to approve and endorse the attached amendment.

 

Staff reviewed the submitted document and finds it in order; therefore, staff recommends approval.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

No applicant present.

 

TMAPC Action; 6 members present:

CONTINUED ZONING PUBLIC HEARING

Application No.:  cz-282                                                            AG TO RE

Applicant:  Whit Mauzy                                                               (PD-21) (County)

Location:  North and west of northwest corner of West 211th Street and Highway 75 South

 

Staff Recommendation:

 

RELEVANT ZONING HISTORY:

PUD-568  January 2000:  PUD-568 was originally approved in 1997 with CS underlying zoning, allowing for a mixed-use development including mobile home sales.  The request to abandon the PUD was subsequently filed in December, 1999 and was approved.  The property is located east of the northeast corner of the subject tract and fronts on Highway 75 South.

 

CBOA-1612  November 1998:  The Board of Adjustment approved, per conditions, a request for a use variance to allow a warehouse and pecan bagging business as a home occupation on property zoned AG and located west of Highway 75 and West 181st Street South.

 

CZ-245  September 1998:  A request to rezone a fifteen-acre tract located west of Highway 75 South and on the south side of West 181st Street from AG to IL for warehousing and bagging pecans was denied.

 

CBOA-1507  May 1997:  The Board of Adjustment denied a request to amend the conditions of a special exception, which would have allowed additional mobile homes for sale on the property located north of the northwest corner of West 211th Street and Highway 75 South and east of the subject tract.

 

CBOA-1499  April 1997:  The Board of Adjustment approved a special exception, with conditions, to allow the sales of manufactured homes on property located north of the northwest corner of West 211th Street and Highway 75 South and east of the subject property.  The imposed conditions stated that only eight units would be allowed on the property at any time and that parking of all merchandise for sale be on a hard surface, dust-free lot.

 

CZ-40  February 1982:  All concurred in approval of a request to rezone a ten-acre tract that is abutting the subject tract on the northeast from AG to CS, for a truck customizing business.

 

AREA DESCRIPTION:

SITE ANALYSIS:  The subject property is approximately 100 acres in size and is located north and west of the northwest corner of West 211th Street South and Highway 75 South.  The property is sloping, non-wooded, vacant and zoned AG.

 

STREETS:

The subject property has no frontage on a public street.

 

UTILITIES:  Water service is provided by Rural Water District 6 from Okmulgee and sewer will be by septic systems.

 

SURROUNDING AREA:  The subject tract is abutted on the north, west and south by vacant land, zoned AG; to the southeast by a single-family dwelling, zoned AG; and to the northeast by a single-family dwelling and manufactured home sales, zoned CS.

 

RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:

The subject property is not within any adopted district plans.  The Development Guidelines, a part of the Comprehensive Plan for the Tulsa Metropolitan Area, provide for evaluation of the existing conditions, land uses, existing zoning and site characteristics for the goals and objectives of areas that have not been specifically defined for redevelopment.

 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Based on the lack of existing development of similar-intensity development in the surrounding area and the relative lack of infrastructure, staff cannot support the requested RE zoning.  Staff recommends DENIAL of RE zoning and APPROVAL of AG-R zoning on the subject property.

 

NOTE:  This case was continued from May 16, 2001 for the applicant to submit a PUD.  To date (July 11, 2001) no PUD has been submitted and staff stands by the previous recommendation.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

No applicant present.
