SUBDIVISIONS:

 

Lot-Splits for Waiver of Subdivision Regulations:

L-19371 – Charles R. Holladay (2993)

(PD-6) (CD-9)

Location:

4655 South Columbia

 

Staff Recommendation:

Apparently the owner of Tract 2 thought the existing fence between the tracts reflected the common boundary line, and built a number of items to the fence line.  However, these improvements encroach upon Tract 1.  An application has been filed to split off a portion of Tract 1 and tie it to Tract 2 that would keep these items on Tract 2, giving a clear title to both tracts.

 

The City Board of Adjustment approved the needed variances for Tract 2; however, both tracts will have more than three side lot lines, requiring a waiver of the Subdivision Regulations.  For this, the applicant is seeking a waiver of Subdivision Regulations. 

 

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.

 

The applicant indicated his agreement with staff’s recommendation.

 

Interested Parties Comments:

Mike Joyce, Jones-Givens, 3800 First Place Tower, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, stated that he is in favor of this lot-split and requests that it be approved.

MINOR SUBDIVISION PLAT:

Fellowship Congregational Church – (1793)

(PD-6) (CD-9)

Location:

2900 South Harvard Avenue

 

Staff Recommendation:

This plat consists of one lot in one block and one reserve on 4.26 acres. The property is the site of an existing church that is undergoing expansion.

 

This is the first of the new “Minor Subdivision Plats” authorized by the Subdivision Regulations as recently amended. The process calls for the applicant to submit a plat that is consistent with final plat standards and satisfy any concerns of the TAC members before the TAC meeting. The TAC members then present their release letters at the TAC meeting and the minor plat is forwarded to the TMAPC for approval of the final plat. If all required releases are not given at the TAC meeting, staff has the option of recommending approval of a preliminary plat and the plat will follow the normal plat process from there.

 

The following were discussed April 18, 2002 at the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting:

 

1.

Zoning:

 

Staff: The property was the subject of a recent Board of Adjustment approval for church use and some variances to facilitate the expansion of the building. This triggered the platting requirement. The nature of the property and the project indicated it was a good candidate for the minor subdivision process.

2.

Streets/access:

 

Staff: No new streets or access are involved. There is a dedication of 50’ of right-of-way to Harvard for 24.21 feet at the southeast corner of the property.

 

Public Works Traffic & Transportation: Dedicate radius at both northeast and southeast corners; plat north 25 feet of 30th Place or ask for modification of Subdivision Regulations; prefer to vacate stub at west end of 29th Street but not required; clean up street dedication language to dedicate “street rights-of-way” not “streets”; add standard enforcement language to LNA paragraph.

 

Applicant: Doesn’t object to street vacation but doesn’t want it a condition of plat approval because of unnecessary delay.

3.

Sewer:

 

Staff: No additional information.

 

Public Works Waste Water: No concerns.

 

Applicant: No comments.

4.

Water:

 

Staff: No additional information.

 

Public Works Water: No concerns.

 

Applicant: No comments.

5.

Storm Drainage:

 

Staff: A neighbor has expressed concerns with stormwater drainage from this property and the surrounding area onto his property.  He wants to understand how the drainage situation will be improved by this project.  He indicated he would attend the TAC meeting to discuss this.

Mr. Brewer, the neighbor, attended and explained his concerns.  TAC members listened but were unprepared to offer a solution without study.

 

Public Works Stormwater: Put floodplain in easement using 100-year water surface elevation; Detention required – could be by separate instrument.

 

Applicant: No comments. Applicant agreed to meet with Mr. Brewer after the TAC meeting to discuss his concerns.

6.

Utilities:

 

Staff: No additional information.

 

Franchise Utilities: No concerns

 

Applicant: No comments.
