FINAL PLAT:

Osage Center – (3402, 3502)

(PD-11) (CD-1)

Location:

Country Club Drive/Osage Drive from Latimer to Haskell Streets

 

Staff Recommendation:

The Board of Adjustment approved a special exception to permit Use Unit 8, among others, on this property. This invokes the platting requirement.

All underlying plats, rights-of-way, and easements are being vacated.

This plat consists of four lots in three blocks on 17.1 acres. This is a redevelopment project of the Tulsa Housing Authority and will contain multifamily residential uses. Existing multifamily residences will be removed.

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

ZONING PUBLIC HEARING

APPLICATION NO.:  PUD-417-6

MINOR AMENDMENT

Applicant: Charles Norman

(PD-6) (CD-4)

Location:

Northeast corner of East 21st Street and South Utica Avenue

 

Staff Recommendation:

The applicant is requesting a minor amendment to authorize the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission staff to approve detail sign plans for ground and wall medical center directional and building identification signs within the St. John Medical Center campus, subject to such signs complying with the sign development standards and restrictions set forth in the Tulsa Zoning Code, except as modified by variances approved by the Tulsa Board of Adjustment under case # 19277 to be heard on January 22, 2002.

 

The existing standards for signs on the St. John Medical Center campus are in need of clarification and consolidation.  The minor amendment request and City Board of Adjustment case, if approved, will represent a comprehensive approach toward the approval of detail sign plans for the medical campus.

 

Staff can recommend APPROVAL of the minor amendment as proposed if the City Board of Adjustment approves case # 19277 as submitted.

 

Mr. Stump stated that this is an example of a campus type situation, which there are several examples in Tulsa area hospitals, TU campus, etc.  There is a greater need for directional signs of a much larger nature than are accommodated in the Zoning Code.  He concluded that this is in the public’s interest to have the directional signs.

 

Applicant’s Comments:

Mr. Norman, 2900 Mid-Continent Tower, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, stated that the sign plan was necessary in order to implement a new signage program for St. John Medical Center.  There are 75 signs within the campus and they are all building identification or directional signs.  He explained that this required requesting seven variances of the sign provisions in the PUD chapter of the Zoning Code.

 

Mr. Norman stated that with the help of staff it was determined he needed to request seven variances from the Zoning Code, subject to the approval of the detail sign plans by the TMAPC.  He suggested that in the future it may be desirable to consider some language that would allow this procedure to occur within a PUD.

 

Mr. Norman stated that this was a highly involved and technical exercise and without the help of Diane Fernandez and staff he doesn’t know if a solution would have been found.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

 

TMAPC Action; 9 members present:

On MOTION of MIDGET, TMAPC voted 9-0-0 (Bayles, Carnes, Harmon, Hill, Jackson, Ledford, Midget, Pace, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Dick, Horner "absent") to APPROVE the minor amendment for PUD-417-6 as recommended by staff.

APPLICATION NO.:  PUD-590-1

MINOR AMENDMENT

Applicant:  Darin Akerman

(PD-26) (CD-8)

Location:

Northeast corner and southeast corner of East 104th Place and South Yale Avenue

 

Staff Recommendation:

The applicant is requesting a minor amendment to the setback lines along Yale Avenue for Lots 1 and 13 of Block 1, Maple Ridge Village, from 85 feet to 75 feet from the centerline of Yale Avenue.  The Planned Unit Development approved RS-2 standards for the PUD.

 

The amendment proposed would allow a 25-foot building line, which will be outside the 17.5-foot perimeter utility easement along Yale Avenue.  The entryway into the subdivision is wider as it abuts these two lots than elsewhere in the addition.

 

Staff recommends APPROVAL of the amendment as submitted.

 

Interested Parties Comments:

Bob Starns, 4713 East 105th Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74136, stated that he has some concerns with stormwater drainage.  He expressed concerns regarding reducing setbacks for the subject property.  He did indicate that he is in favor of single-family dwellings along the east side of Yale.

 

TMAPC Comments:

Mr. Harmon explained to Mr. Starns that this application is not going to change the easement line; it would only allow the applicant to build ten feet closer to the easement line.  He explained that his concerns should be addressed with the Stormwater Management Division because the TMAPC does not have the authority to address stormwater issues.  Mr. Starns stated that the stormwater issues should have some consideration because they flood yards and homes.

 

Mr. Harmon stated that the application is asking for a minor amendment to reduce the setback and it would not have any bearing on stormwater runoff, whether the house is built ten feet closer or ten feet away from the easement line.

 

The applicant indicated his agreement with staff’s recommendation.

 

TMAPC Action; 9 members present:

On MOTION of WESTERVELT, TMAPC voted 9-0-0 (Bayles, Carnes, Harmon, Hill, Jackson, Ledford, Midget, Pace, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Dick, Horner "absent") to APPROVE the minor amendment for PUD-590-1 as recommended by staff.

OTHER BUSINESS:

Consider a request to call for a public hearing on proposed Tulsa County Zoning Code Text Amendments

 

TMAPC Comments:

Mr. Harmon stated that the Committee suggested some refining of the amendments that were proposed.  Mr. Harmon requested a motion to call for a public hearing regarding the proposed amendments.

 

TMAPC Action; 9 members present:

On MOTION of WESTERVELT, TMAPC voted 9-0-0 (Bayles, Carnes, Harmon, Hill, Jackson, Ledford, Midget, Pace, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; none ”abstaining"; Dick, Horner "absent") to CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING regarding the proposed Tulsa County Zoning Code Text amendments as modified by the Planning Commission for February 27, 2002.
