Uh, good afternoon, George Marquez, Civil and Environmental Consultants, um, 4700 Galardia Parkway. Uh we are in agreement with all the tees and um I'll be happy to answer any questions anybody may have. Okay. Yeah. I think one of the one of the things that we just wanted to confirm was TE3 that you were in agreement with that. So hearing hearing that um I have no concerns. This is ward one but I'm unable to make a motion but I'm in full support. So

anything from any other commissioners? No. With that, I will make a motion to recommend approval of or to approve item number C7792. Have a motion to uh approve the item from Commissioner Noble. It's been second by Commissioner Meek. Please cast your votes. And that item is approved. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Item five.

Item five is case There we go. Item five is case PC 1099 application to reszone 7101 South Indian Meridian from Pud 1905 to AA. We have an applicant present. Uh Steve Landes with Landes Engineering uh representing console group. Uh you want to tell us a little bit about your application?

Well, actually about five six years ago, we reszoneed this as a PUD primarily agricultural. We took the house and made the one specific point uh set it up so we could do industrial in there. It was originally a growing operation. I think Mr. Privet might remember that. I do. Well, since that time, the facility is no longer in operation and a new gentleman bought it. And now they're wanting to return it just purely to a get rid of all of the uh we couldn't really use the house as long as it had that confinement as uh industrial tied with it. So, we're just removing all that, just returning the property directly to a

uh for just to use a single house and leave it as natural agricultural property. Any questions? Let me know. Uh yeah, I have no questions on this one whatsoever. Okay. Any other comments, concerns from commissioners? All right. I think we're ready for a motion. A good one. Yeah. I'll move to uh recommend approval of PC 1099. Have a motion to recommend approval the item and Commissioner Privet. It's been seconded by Commissioner Meek. Please cast your votes.

That item's recommended for approval. Thank you. Item six. Item six is case PC 10998, application reszone 98 South Grace Avenue from O2 to R1. My name is Terry Pollock. My address is 113 Spruce Avenue in Yukon, Oklahoma. The uh group here, the JNJ, had hired me to put in this resoning application. This lot, that is the back half of this lot number one in the Vicky Lynn edition. There's a a a house on the front as you can see from the picture and there was a lot of other land behind it. So they've decided they want to break break off that south 65 ft and the depth is 110 ft and it butts up against on the south to an AA district. And then the reason we're doing this is because the whole lot number one was O2 and he's going to he's planning to construct a he hadn't decided for sure yet but under 2,000 square foot single family residence on this property.

All right. Uh, Commissioner Newman, this is your ward? Uh, yes. I reviewed the application, talked with the applicant. I don't have any issues with it. It fits fairly well in that neighborhood. Does anyone else have any questions on it? No, I do not have anyone signed up to speak. Okay. Uh, with that, I'm going to make a recommendation for approval to city council for PC10998.

Have a motion from Commissioner Newman to recommend the item to city council. Are we waiting on a second? Uh, it shows as Commissioner Newman now.

All right. Second by Commissioner Privet. Please cast your votes. All right. And that is recommended for approval. Thank you. Thank you. Item seven. Item seven is case PC 10997. Application to reszone 6017 Northwest 23rd Street from R1 to C3.

Uh good afternoon. Braden Schaefer, 300 Point Parkway Boulevard, uh Yukon, Oklahoma. Um, this application, uh, it's a currently zoned R1. It's, uh, frontage is on Northwest 23rd Street. It's very much clustered within, uh, a pretty heavy pocket of commercial. Um, the kind of remaining sliver to the east that will still be R1. That's a separate property. Um, the that property owner did provide a letter of support. Um, so we're looking to reszone to just straight C3. Happy to answer any questions that you might have. All right, Commissioner Powers, this is W two. I do not have anyone signed up to speak.

Um, so I would try to look at this property. It's kind of an odd piece of property. I mean, first of all, it's being used for outdoor storage at the moment. Um, as is the property next door to it. Um, this strip of 23rd Street is, let's say, less than optimal. Um um I I frankly am not inclined to reszone this property to straight C3. It backs up to residential. Uh there's no way to control, you know, speaker box placement or signage or anything like that under a straight zoning and is there an actual plan for the property?

So as of right now there there is not an actual plan. Um the the issue is trying to market it. Marketability as an R1 is just pretty low. Um that was kind of the reason we wanted to go with C3 just to kind of leave the the options kind of more open. Um and given that it's not 1.24 acres of fully developable uh land. About the first third of it is all a detention pond. So it should keep the development pretty minimal in terms of impact. Um, and so that's that's kind of why we were going for

but it also will push that development to the rear of the lot which is closer to the residential. I I'm just not, you know, on a speculative basis to increase the value of the land without an idea of what it's going to be or how it's going to lay out or whatever. I just am not inclined to um support reasonzoning to C3. So that's where I am. Okay. And I'll say, excuse me, I'd say the same to the to the fact that the intensity of some of the uses in C3 right next to the R2 is just not they're not compatible. And so that for me would also be a reason why I'd need something more than just straight zoning. Okay.

So is is the concern just more an issue of of wanting to make sure that there's proper mitigation in terms of buffering against that R1 to the north? Is that Yeah, it's the many possible uses that it could be if we would just went straight seat. So, it's not so much an issue of use as it is just making sure that the proper buffering. I mean, you still obviously have to manage the drainage and it being a detention pond, but uh Okay. Plus, frankly, the idea of reszoning it to something that would not allow outdoor storage when it's clearly the use that's on the property now, I'm just I can't get there. If you'd like to take some time and meet and uh see what we can work out, I'd be glad to do that.

I think that's what we would prefer to do. If if we're not in support of C3, we'd probably like to look at maybe doing a spud um to figure out what type of uses would be applicable for that. So, how much time would we need to do that, Sarah, at a minimum, if we're going to go from straight zoning to C3, I mean to to SPD? Sarah Welch, Planning Department. I think the first meeting in May at least to be able to submit and meet the public notice requirements. Is that going to be enough for you? You think? Yes. Okay. Well, then I What is the first meeting? May 14th. 14th.

I will make a motion then, unless anybody else wants to um to continue this item to May 14th. A motion from Commissioner Powers to continue the item to the May 14th meeting. It's been seconded by Commissioner Milner. Please cast your votes. And that item is continued. Thank you. Uh item eight. Item eight is case PC 10993, application to reszone 1636 Southwest 35th Street from R1 to C3. We have an applicant present.

I don't see one. So, I know this is one that we've seen a couple of times. Um, and I think this is just a uh kicking the can down the road u thing. It's supposed to probably come back as a as PUD. So, I would probably continuous open it up for for anyone else's input, but yes, I think a continuence four weeks denial. Sarah, this one mirrors the one the case we just had before. And I I do believe this the applicant has stated that they are going to pursue a spud.

Sure. If Yeah, if they're going to if we know they're going to pursue a spud, for sure. It's just unfortunate they're not here to confirm because once we move it to that date forward, we can't go back again. But it would be May 14th would be if we're sure it's going to be a spud and give to give them time to submit. It should be May 14th. Okay. I mean, I I don't have that confirmation that they're going to do a spud, but I think they may have mentioned to staff, but just I think they mentioned to staff, but we don't have an application pending. So, okay. That would be where I would be certain. Okay. Would it be better if we just continued it four weeks and then if they needed to more time, they can Let's go Let's go the 14th. I think we're pretty clear that this is going to be an SPD if it's going to get resoneed. So,

I believe so. I think May 14th is a good idea a good target. Okay. Okay. Can I go ahead? Okay. Then yeah, I' I'd move we continue this to the May 14th commission hearing. A motion from Commissioner Milner to continue the item to the May 14th meeting. It's been second by Commissioner Newman. Please cast your votes. It's all right. We got it. All right. And that item is continued. Item nine.

Item nine is case SPUD 1818, application to reszone 13520 Blevens Boulevard from PUD 671. Uh Charles Allen, Allen Engineering. Uh this is a private subdivision, familyowned. Uh it's only allowed to have six lots with the current peed. Uh the owner of this lot, Gary Bleven, wants to divide it into two lots to allow for um excuse me, the construction of a barnaminium on the north part of the property. Uh we've written the legal descriptions to divide this into a halfacre and 8/10 of an acre lot that as you see there. Um,

a barnaminium. Dominium. Quite popular these days. So, and that's for their son to live on that half acre to the north. Happy to answer any questions. Great. Commissioner Harrison, this is your ward. I do not have anyone signed up to speak. Any other further conversation from um I just maybe would question then the barnaminium the materials planned to be used on that via metal siding just straight metal siding probably have a Wayne's coat typically you know three or four foot tall ways coat around the bottom uh awnings that sort of thing it'll be it's not a barnaminium without metal without

not really incompatible with the existing homes there. That's again, is there an HOA? Uh, I just wonder. It's a private family-owned subdivision that it's only family members that live in and no one's here to protest. So, nobody's here to protest it. No other concerns. It probably won't be shiny metal. That's all I can say. Yeah. No. And they they Right. They have a lot of different products now,

right? I was just going to maybe suggest taking the wood, concrete board, and architectural metal out of the 70%, but that wouldn't be good. Well, we added in back in. I didn't know when I first submitted that it was going to be a baraminium and then got last minute got a call and staff was h happy to help with that. Added in the metal building and it's only on the the north half acre. So, okay. Do do we just put a TE on it that says M material shall be consistent with the homes in the subdivision? I don't think that would be

Yeah, there they added it to the the material. It says material and architectural metals shall be permitted. Okay, got it.

All right, we're seeing no no other concerns. Uh, I move SPUD 1818 to be referred. Have a motion to did I hear that correctly? Recommend the item for approval. Okay. Motion to recommend SPD 1818 to city council for approval from Commissioner Harrison. It's seconded by Commissioner Noble. Please cast your votes. That item is recommended for approval. Thank you. Item 10.

Item 10 is SPD 1815, application to reszone 2012 Northwest 40th Street from R1 and SPUD 1111 to SPUD 1815. We have an applicant present. Good afternoon. My name is Travis Craftton with Craft Engineering LLC. address 107 Community Boulevard, Sweet 7, Long View, Texas 75605. Thank you for your time today. Uh ultimately, the existing and I'm here representing Retail Buildings, Inc. and Brahms Dair and Ice Cream Stores and the existing property is owned at SPUD 111 and has been for some time. uh we purchased the property to the east of uh their store, their business, and it's about a 50 foot wide track and ultimately looking to ultimately just extend SPUD. I know this is a new uh plan unit development, but ultimately to extend to the east by 50 ft uh in order to add parking and we would of course adhere to all city rules and be happy to answer any questions that you have. Okay.

Thank you. Uh Commissioner Powers, this is W two. I do not have anyone signed up to speak.

Um, this one, believe it or not, was something I had to really kind of wrestle with. The used to be a house on this piece of property. Um, it was apparently not in very good condition, but just the concept of tearing down what would be a modest home in this era of affordable housing push to um allow for more parking was a little bit of a of a difficult thing for me to bite down on, especially given that they the use has parking that they don't use. I mean, you know, so I wrestled with that a little bit. Uh, Mr. Lane Ren was good enough to come meet us on site and uh talk through some of that. And uh my opening salvo was I'd really like to see the site redeveloped, but apparently that's off in the future somewhere. So, um I I think I'm okay with the idea of doing this given the things that they were willing to do to mitigate it. And those are um that they're going to install a parking island somewhere in the portion of the parking lot that is on the south side of the building there. I'll let them choose. I gave them my preferred location. So, um I'll let them choose where they want to do that. and they're going to landscape that parking island. Um, they are going to meet the landscape requirements of the code. Uh, but they're I'm going to be able to spread that out over the site and not entirely on the one lot that they are adding to the um current SPD. Um although they did agree to put a line of trees along the east property line um of the site that they're at of the lot that they're adding and very nicely agreed to put some on the south parking as well while they're at it. So I don't think we can actually write that into

the SPD, but this is my bra so I will know if they don't do it. Um, there's not going to be any additional curb cut on 40th Street. Um, and no EMD signage. The signage they're not intending to change currently. Um, I'll just tell you like I do every time we butt up against this. The idea that after the amendments to the sign code, they now have frontage on two arterial streets and would probably be entitled to a pole sign with EMD signage is just like, I can't deal with that. We need to do something about it. Um, so there's no EMD signage and no signage at all on 40th Street except wayfinding. You you heard all of that be before the meeting today I assume and are in agreement with it. Yes.

So those would all be added as tees. Um you said there is there will not be an additional curb cut on 40th as shown in the as shown in the exhibit. That's right. We apologize. We've kind of I don't want to say last minute but kind of last minute but we have addressed that and we have ultimately just where you see that shaded area on the right side of the page at the top has gone away. And so that curb line just curves and ties back in on the north. You know, this this site has a a chneled exit onto 40th to not allow traffic back up 40th Street.

I can tell you from experience, it doesn't work all that well. But nonetheless, it's there and it's there's a sign there indicating that you're not supposed to turn to the east. Um, and yeah, I I'm I think that it would completely eliminate any possibility that the property across the street would be redeveloped with anything other than commercial because it's vacant. It could be residential property, but it's it's not going to be developed as that if there's a if there's a driveway there into this site. So, uh, yes, we eliminated that curb cut onto 40th on the east end of the property. Yeah, it would have been fine with me if they had wanted to, you know, change the location of the one that they have uh, slightly to kind of but but the one that's there is there for a reason. It's how their drive-thru operates. So,

right. And the only reason I asked about it is because I mean potentially we're adding a dozen spaces, 10 spaces. It'll all be employee parking though. Okay. But but everyone if they go out the north side, they're going out there. And if you've got any more than one or two cars queued on 40th at the stop sign, then I mean that just kind of starts to become a real choke point there. Never seen cars queued there. So, for what it's worth. Okay. And if you lived, excuse me, but if you lived on 40th and you wanted to go back into your neighborhood, you have to block all the way around.

You do, but it's a short block around. Yeah. And there, you know, there's exit onto both 39th and 40th from this site. So, anybody else? Okay. Um, you said when we were talking about the landscape, you said you didn't think those could be added in via TE. The ones on the existing the ones on the property that they have that fronts 39th Street that's not part of this SBUD application. Oh, okay. They're going to do that just to be nice. Okay. But are you going to add a TE about the ones on the east property line? Yes. Cool. I think the whole site's the new SPD. the hole.

No. No, they did not include the what I think of as truck parking. Really? No. Takes the whole corner. But see, they they own this property as well. Okay. Okay. What about the fence between the properties between the R1 and the and this property? They'll have to put one in, but They're going to regrade the site. There's a significant difference in grade. Yeah. Retaining wall that goes all the way around. And they're just going to move it east. So,

yep. I just didn't know if you wanted a more a masonire fence to block some of that callbox noise. What would you think about that? I'm not opposed to it. Um I think the difference in grade will make some difference with that but and also a little further separation I guess about 70 ft now which is which is good and maybe we want to write that in there also but just for that noise if I was

12 ft of green belt with you know evergreens or whatever on there I think maybe better than a wall frankly Maybe. Well, you're going to get some kind of fence anyways. Yeah, absolutely. Yes, there will be.

Anybody else? No. If not, I'm going to move approval for item number 10, SPD 1815, adding as tees. Uh, I guess we'll go with two. Um, do we sir, do we need to So, TE number one really covers the trees along the uh east property line of the residential lot that we're adding, I think. Yes.

I'm just sorry, Sarah Walsh, Planning Department. I'm confirming that um the applicant agreed with TE1. I wasn't sure if I heard that specifically. Yes. Okay. Then, yeah, that takes care of your east boundary. Okay. So, then TE2, they're going to add a parking island uh on in in the existing parking lot south of the building location of their choice. Um, Commissioner Powers, can I can we confirm what goes in that? Um, is it one tree, two trees in the island? Uh, we didn't discuss that. I mean, do we need to include that in the TE? I think that that would be

something that we would need to know. Um, that would be installed with the permitting of the new parking area. We did we did discuss that that there would be a tree, a tree. Lane, you better come up here. This is Lane Ren. He was so nice to come and meet with us. And I say that because he just had a baby this weekend. So, congratulations. Very excited. The fact that he's here is kind of above and beyond as far as I'm concerned. Um, we agreed one tree landscaped parking island, right?

Yes, ma'am. So, we agreed to the east side trees that we spoke of along the retaining wall. We also agree with the tree. Um, and if you have any ideas on what you would like to see there, please let us know. Uh we agree to the tree or trees if they're smaller in that landscape area south of the building. Something that will eventually be big enough to provide some shade would be lovely, but city staff has like a whole list of trees. Specify it as a 2in caliber shade tree. Okay, there you go.

Thanks. Um, we agreed TWT3 that they will meet the landscape ordinance requirements. Uh, but we're going to allow them to put that on the entire site. Actually, I guess within the SPD, that that would be the way it was anyway, wouldn't it? Yeah, we don't I don't think we need to do that. Okay. Um, TE4, is that what we're up to?

Three. Uh, no additional curb cut on 40th Street. So, the one that's shown on the exhibit will not be placed there. Um, four, no EMD signage. Uh, five, no signage on 40th Street except way finding. Did I miss something? Was there something else we asked for? We agree with all the requests made by the city. Oh, did you want to put a distance on the call box? Oh, they're kind of sad. I Yeah, they are where they are. I don't really think it's going to be possible to do that. I don't know. I don't know how far it is, frankly. Yeah, it's clear. It's 70 ft away. So, you could Okay.

increase it to 70 instead of 50. And that way they couldn't put a third lane in there ever. Okay. So, TE number six would be that any outdoor amplification, what do we how do we say those call boxes? Do we limit it that way? uh will be uh at least 70 feet from the east property line. Yes, we agree.

All right. So, we have a motion from Commissioner Powers to recommend the item city council subject to the technical evaluations read in. It's been seconded by Commissioner Milner. Please cast your votes and that item is approve recommended for approval. Thank you. All right. Item 11.

Item 11 is SPUD 18/19 application to reszone 1201 North Gardener Avenue from R1. We have an applicant present. Alfonso Miller. Good afternoon.

Yes, good afternoon. My name is Alons Familiar and the reason I'm here is because um uh the applicant person need to change the R1 mod to I1 and he working in uh in the city not the city in the area bearing cable. So in his lawn for to park his equipment it start before 7. remove everything and return after six o'clock. So, um I don't know one more thing I have to need to do for to make this thing approve or go four.

Okay. Well, we're going to talk about it. Um Commissioner Meek, this is your ward. I have two folks signed up to speak. All right. Let's hear from the people signed up to speak. Wonderful. Uh we'll start with Teresa Lewis. if you just want to have a seat. We're going to hear from a couple of of the neighbors.

Good afternoon.

Yes, I'm Thank you. My name is Traa Lewis. I live at 6700 Northwest 11th Street, which is directly across the street on the south side of where they're doing this. And 13 years ago, I bought that property in a residential area. I don't plan to live in an industrial area. These people have already started bu doing it industrially. I've tried to stop it twice. I have cars parked constantly in my grass. I've got ruts all in the grass on that side where there's wives that are waiting for their husbands to get off work because they're they're already using it industrially. And I've been trying to get that stopped. I don't plan to live in an industrial area and I really loved that pro my property whenever I bought it.

Okay. Anything else? All right. Thank you. Uh Jan Jones.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

My name is Jan Jones. I live at 1200 North Gardener Avenue, which is directly east of this address. A bit of a background on this area. Teresa's house. This house that is going to be demolished, I'm sure, if this is approved. And the house to the north of that was during the Civil War used as a medical hospital. These homes have been there forever. This is a very old neighborhood. We live on oversized lots where in most blocks where you have 10 or 12 homes on a block, we have four or five. So, people want these areas because they are oversized lots. But because it is an older neighborhood, we have no curbs. We still have bar ditches, tin horns, and this construction equipment is is going to tear up the streets. So, we do not want to see this reszoneed to industrial. There are many, many addresses on the outskirts of this neighborhood that are zoned for that use and should be used as that use. But of course, it's cheaper to buy a house like this, tear it down, reszone it, and there you go. But as as Teresa said, many of us have been in this neighborhood for 50 years. We've paid our taxes. We've kept our houses residential, and we want them to continue to be residential. Thank you.

Thank you. Okay, that's all I have signed up to speak. Okay, with that being said, I'm sure maybe other commissioners might have an opinion, but I am either ready to recommend a denial on this or offer the applicant if you would come up, sir. Or I don't know, Sarah, if um if an application's withdrawn, do they get a refund of any sort? I've never asked that question. Is that good? Can you come over here, sir? Um, Sarah Walsh, Planning Department. If the application is withdrawn at planning commission, they would be entitled to half their money back. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. Um, we're really trying to clean up West 10 district. We have neighbors around here that don't deserve to live near industrial properties. Um, I don't know how any other commissioners feel, but like I said, I'm ready to recommend a denial. But if you were to withdraw your application, you could get half your money back. I've also very aware Time out. Listen, I'm also very aware of the action center and everything you've been dealing with. I pulled up all of your uh, you know, fines and yeah, everything. It's just you need to find a different place to do this type of business and that's all there is to it.

Okay. Thanks, Yeah. No, I mean I can I can say that this is a this is a hard note for me. This is just not an appropriate use in this residential neighborhood. So I will vote to deny this as well. So okay. So the question remains, do you want to withdraw your application? Yes, if the IDK perfect. I don't want to bother the neighborhood. But they have to remember that in the beginning the on the street between 10 and north on garden they have commercial and they have another light a lot right but

they don't have outdoor storage and they don't have auto you know vehicle parking across the street from a residence where you could use the whole lot to pile vehicles in is just not fair. If you lived across the street you wouldn't appreciate that. So, um, you are you are okay with the withdrawal? Yes. Okay. Um, I don't know how to do that, but I make a motion to withdraw the application. I I think the applicant has to make the statement. I I withdraw the application. Okay. Thanks. Can you make that statement into on the record that you're going to withdraw your application?

Yes. I'm agree to um back out the application and try to make this thing better. Okay, thank you.

I don't know. I almost feel like you should deny it. Okay. I mean, all right. Uh, council believes that we should u go ahead and make a vote to deny the item. Sarah, don't you think we need to like maybe either deny it and then he can get us money back? No action. There's no action. No action. Okay. He withdrew. He withdrew. It's gone. Doesn't exist. That's That's kind of We didn't vote on it with Yeah.

All right. Item 12. Item 12 is KC 1157, application um to close a portion of the East West Alley in block 11 of the Floral Park amended. Uh, a portion of the rightway of Northwest 101st Street. Portion of the north south alley in block 12 of Floral Park amended. Portion of the north south alley in block five of Britain Park and a portion of the east west rightway of northwest 100 street and a portion of the rightway of North Class Boulevard. All generally east of North Chartel Avenue and south of Northwest 102nd Street.

Good afternoon. David Box, 525 Northwest 11th Street here. on behalf of the applicant. Uh the application before you is to close various portions of unimproved alleys and streets rights of way. Uh there are no tees. Happy to answer any questions. Um Commissioner Harrison, this is your ward. I do have one person signed up to speak. Okay, we'll hear from them. Okay. Uh Mr. for Franklin Part. Hello. Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. My name is Franklin Part. I live at 544 Northwest 102nd. That is on the corner of 102nd in Chartell. It's lot 23 and 24. Looking at the photo, I'm up. You can see it. It's uh right on the corner there. Now they're talking about easements and I understand what I'm worried about is my little part of the world.

Yeah, exactly. It looks as though from the drawing that I have, which doesn't seem to be very accurate, but it's going the easement that they're talking about taking is going from the souththeast corner of my house and going east. That is all power lines. So my I worry about what are they going to do with those power lines? How are they going to get in there the city to repair any damage uh in this area? There is no sewage system. We are all on our own means. I have an aerobic system because I wouldn't pass the perk test. When they develop this easements are, you know, that's what easements do.

Electrical uh drainage. There's no drainage in this area except for the bar ditch that I put in. And the city is nice enough to charge me $9 a month to pay them for drainage that I put in. And my concern is also, let's see, that's water. Water is there. Hydrants are there. There's no sewage. I'm concerned about the electrical and just the m general maintenance on it. Uh, natural gas comes to my driveway, which is just to the west of what's blocked off there, and it stops there. If I want to hook up o OG&, how am I going to get them there? And and and is this encroaching on my personal easement? And then on the east of my house, you can see it's all pretty much lo and it's been like country out there, which has been really great. And I realize progress has to happen. So I'm not I'm I want to be amiable with with what's going on there because I think it'll probably be a positive thing for the city. But I have concerns mainly about easements as to how are they going to fix anything that goes wrong?

How close are they going to come up to me if they take that easement east of me? I only have 5 foot of yard there anyway. How close are they going to build to me? Well, right now all all we're looking at is is uh closing the easements. So, did I get too far off the subject? I'm sorry. No, no, no, no. I'm just helping you understand the process. At a future time, there may be another application uh to develop that property or something. And that at that time was when we would start looking at how close they could get to, you know, your potential property. But right now, we're just looking at the easements,

right? So, uh, I'm going to ask the applicant to, um, come up. Thank you for your comments. If you want to take a seat, we'll we'll get the applicant to respond to some of your questions. Um, and we'll go from there. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

So, any infrastructure that actually exists within these easements uh, would be reserved. So when the city process is done, we file a action at district court and the district court action is a vacation action seeking to forever close the right to reopen these rights of ways. And when we do that, the defendants in that action are not only Oklahoma City but all the franchise holders including OMG O. They through their legal team would then answer and either disclaim or if they have infrastructure, which he, you know, says that there is, they would reserve those rights. And so all of those rights would still exist until such time that we paid to ensure that they the rights that they had were still there. So none of this would affect his property. Um it's just simply closing those easements except there would be a reservation within the document.

Right? So basically it's not removing the utility, it's removing the corridor where the utility exists. And that time when you file in district court, then OG&, OMG, and any other utility is going to get notice that there's a there's a proposal to remove it. And then they're going to say, "No, we have stuff there or or we removed our stuff there." But if they have stuff there, they're going to want to keep it. They're not going to give it up. If they have stuff there, they will be specifically granted an easement. Yes. Within the vacation document. Okay. All right. Mr. Box.

Yes, ma'am. on on this exhibit that we have. There is some hatching in the specific easement that Mr. Purdue was talking about that's house and some lettering CV 2017 862. What is that? Let me see what you have. Recommend. I know what she means. Okay. Go to the PDF map. Oh, that's a previous that would have been a 2017 vacation action. So, the reference to the court case there is a 2017 vacation action that would have closed all of the other rights of way. You see,

well, it it shows it specifically along this easement. I think it stopped short. Maybe I can I'll answer I think I know the answer. uh S Welsh Planning Department. Um those at that action, we actually discovered that through the application process and um we believe it's already been vacated at court, but it never came through the city's um CE process. So they're they'reated, right? Yeah. And so they are they're kind of I guess covering their bases, I guess.

Well, I understand on all the others, but specifically on that one, if there's a power line there, how is it already vacated? Well, VA the vacation order reserves the easements and allows the utility company's access to maintain. It's like you're closing out any everybody else's rights, but the utilities overhead power. No. Right. They have the absolute legal right to remain there. Um, and the process I mean part of the process would be that they retain and reserve those rights.

David, correct me if I'm wrong. We're I think we're using rightways and easements interchangeably here. Well, I think we're doing a b. There's some that perhaps are in an easement, some that are platted rights away, some that are, you know, platted um alleys or easements, but the instrument at the district court will clarify and clean everything up. So, like if AT&T has nothing in there, well, then their rights are foreclosed. U but everyone that has the rights presently would be able to maintain those rights.

One of them Any other questions? Any other questions or comments? Mr. Partardeu, does that answer all your concerns or address your concerns? I believe so. Okay. Uh, like I said, I'm mostly worried about how would they how would anybody get in to repair any of those there? The franchise the utilities that are there are still going to have an easement. Then I don't see the point in vacating the easements if they're not going to be able to use them anyway. Does that make sense? There still will be an easement there for the utility.

Does that include mine? It doesn't look like it on the drawing, but the drawing is not real accurate. I can't I can't speak to that. Okay. Well, then I still have questions, but that's where I'm at. So, thank you. All right. Thank you. the process of closing and vacating things is kind of confusing, but what's there, you know, there's no way to affect those rights. So, as far as utilities and franchises and so on. All righty. Okay. I think we're ready for a motion.

Okay. Uh, see no more concern. I recommend uh I recommend that we approve or send to city council C1157. A motion from Commissioner Harrison to recommend the item to city council for approval. Been seconded by Commissioner Privet. Please cast your votes. That items recommended for approval. Thank you.

Item 13. This is PUD 2132 application uh to reszone 1120 East Hefner Road from PUD 285 and 220 2031 to PUD 2132. Good afternoon, David Box, 525 Northwest 11th Street here on behalf of the applicant. Uh this is a PUD that would allow for the expansion of the pre-existing school that's there under PUD 285. Um there are a handful of TEES all of which we agree to except we would propose to modify uh TE2 to state that well let's say no light poles within 20 ft of the property line abudding residential use where light is provided it shall be full cut off with no light spillover beyond the property line. Um I think that's what staff was was trying to get to. Um, the staff's comment asks us to specify there will be no annoying glare. Um, as far as I know, the word annoying is not defined in either the law uh or anywhere else.

Picture of me other than Mr. Meek. It is actually in our code. I don't know that it's defined in the code. I find the code annoying, too. Um, I I did have one modification. I think you'll be in agreement with it. Um, on TE4, just striking the last sentence. Spectator sports shall not occur simultaneously with other campus functions. I can't tell you how many dances occur right after football games and PTA meetings, etc. So, we're fine with that. Okay. All right. Commissioner Harrison, this is your ward. But I don't have anyone signed up just

any further comments from commissioners. Approval PUD 21310 as written. So we have a motion from Commissioner Harrison. Um recommend the item for approval to council subject to the amendment to TE2 that the applicant read in and striking on TE4 striking spectator sports shall not occur simultaneously with other campus functions. We're just waiting on our system.

Oh. Oh, it went down. All right. So, we need to voice vote. So, we have a a motion from Commissioner Harrison. We need a second. Second from Commissioner's Powers. Please voice vote, please. Yes. Yes. I I I. All right. It's unanimous. Recommended for approval. Item 14. This is PUD 2135 application to reszone 3748 Northwest 150th Street from I1 and PUD 164.

Once again, David Box, 525 Northwest 11th Street here on behalf of uh the applicant. This is a uh this is a project that we've talked about in my office for for quite some time. Part of this project included a uh traffic signal. And so before we made application of our PUD, we first went to the traffic and transportation commission for a um approval of the signal that you see on the site plan uh along 150th Street. That was approved by the traffic commission. And so as part of this development, you will have a new traffic signal at the uh along 150th Street. So, this is a development that is anchored by Crest uh and will have multiple out parcels and some additional commercial development. We think it's a development that will be met with um a lot of excitement from the the nearby neighbors. We did have the opportunity to meet with the neighbors this week. Uh Commissioner Noble also had the opportunity to be there with us. Perhaps there's people here that would disagree, but um our general sense from that meeting was that generally speaking, everybody was relatively excited about uh the crest and what other commercial uses could could come given the limitations that we have already put upon ourselves within this PUD. The one constant that we heard from the neighbors was they absolutely did not want any vehicular connection between this site and the site to the south. Um, I had the opportunity to do that site to the south and I had some recollection that when we were going through those meetings that the neighborhood uh was adamantly opposed to connection from what we'll call the Shields development to 150th Street. Uh, I couldn't find it anywhere written down, but when I asked the question, it was an almost universal response that yes, that's what we understood. We do not want a connection. We told him good news is we also don't want a connection. Uh our hope is that you've seen all of the letters that have come in. Most of them, if not all of them, were in support of the application

with the caveat that they absolutely opposed any vehicular connection from our site to the site uh south of us. So with that, there's a handful of TEES that I do want to discuss. Um at the outset, we can agree with TE number one. We can agree to TE2 except I want to make clear um if public works had any sort of requirement that there you know that the drainage would be impeded by that 8ft masonry wall. We want to make sure that we have flexibility to not have it in a spot that would impede drainage. Drainage was probably the biggest concern that many of these folks had outside of the connection point. And so we understand there's water there. We understand perhaps there's a lot of water. And so we want to make sure that we can properly drain this site. And so we agree to that 8 foot masonry wall which is what the shield site agreed to. Except I want to make sure if public works says that's going to create drainage problem whatever that span of of space is that it wouldn't be required there. Um TE3 we agree to except uh it would be excuse me is TE3. Let me see. So TE3 we would propose to modify it to the following. A sitewide pedestrian system shall be organized and shown with the first specific plan to provide adequate and continuous safe pedestrian circulation within the development and between buildings by defining walkways and distinguishing areas of foot traffic from vehicular movements. Interior pedestrian pathways will be landscaped. Um we agree with this language. Just the language that was provided to us by um Miss Welch. TE4. Um we would propose to delete um well, we would propose for it to read pad sites along Northwest 150th Street and North Portland Avenue. Frontages shall be located along street frontages. We do not agree that there will not be parking uh in front of the buildings. Uh this is

a suburban style development, so there will absolutely need to be a couple roads of parking consistent with the site plan you see before you. along both 150th and Portland. TE5 we agree um but we wanted to say the traffic signal shown on exhibit B shall be required. Period. TE6 uh we absolutely do not agree with and would move to strike that. TE7 we see no reason to plow a commercial development. So we would ask to strike that and TE8 we agree to. In talking with Commissioner Noble, there are two additional TEES that we'd like to add. uh TE9 would be that there would be a prohibition of dumpsters in the west 100 ft of the development. Uh and then finally the inclusion of metal architectural metal and wood moved from the 70% allowance to the 30% allowance. So that would be TE 9 and TE 10. Um, and one additional I want to make clear that the sidewalks that would be required would be along 150th and there would be no sidewalk required along uh Portland Avenue or I guess the the state highway 74 frontage. So with that, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Okay, Mr. Box, is is that requirement about the sidewalks consistent with the other developments along I I believe so. I'm not sure. I couldn't recall any sidewalks along um the Portland uh corridor. You obviously have them on the arterial but not along uh Portland Avenue. I know on 178th and this this the exact same verbiage. So, okay, Commissioner Noble, this is your ward. I do have two people signed up to speak. Let's hear from them. Okay. Mr. Tim Mson,

Tim Mson, 4316 Northwest 143rd Street. Uh I live in Remington uh subdivision. I'm the HOA president. I attended the meeting that David uh Box mentioned. It was pretty well attended and there was u pretty close to universal support for this uh effort with I just wanted to be here to reiterate the fact that we are very much concerned about the traffic issues that this development and the Shields development to the south. I spoke to you uh in that in that case as well. uh connectivity from the the Shield South uh site to the south through this would potentially create an an inordinate uh issue on 150th which is already a problem. Uh if you don't connect it at least you're only going to get the people that are in the Crest development coming onto 150th. Everybody else on Shields will have to go onto the arterial on on uh Portland. So, I just wanted to be here to reiterate the fact that I am support this uh initiative, but I am very concerned about traffic and I would ask you to please not allow connectivity to through this on 150th. It would just be a nightmare for for all the residents that live along 150th to the west. That's all I have to say.

All right. Thank you, Mr. M. Thank you. Uh, Travis Bryan.

Uh, my name is Travis Bryan. My address is 14904 Montichello Drive. Um, I don't want to be redundant here. We spoke, both gentlemen has spoken about the traffic issues, but um, I'd like just to read something that was sent in by most of our neighbors with what we and some things we added. I am a neighbor in support of PUD 2135, but I strongly oppose staff's request to allow vehicular connection to the property to the south of that would be PUD 2094. This was a concern that was expressed and discussed previously with PUD 2094. The request will do nothing but cause a detrimental impact to the traffic on Northwest 150th Street. and to the proposed internal parking lots for PUD 2135. We respectfully request that you approve PUD 2135 with the condition that vehicular connection to the south shall be prohibited. This topic was discussed at length and should have been documented in the official transcripts with PUD 2094. I would like the issue to be addressed in this meeting. The intersection highway 74 and northwest 150th is already inudated with accidents as well as numerous accidents on Northwest 150th as well. With the current speed limits at these locations, the influx of the amount of traffic to be incurred will be catastrophic in our opinion. Um, we would like to see the speed limit reduced on that on that on northwest 150 to at least 35 or 40 to slow down the traffic. When we try to pull out of our uh now on Monachello, you're sometimes

sitting there for 5 minutes straight waiting to turn left or turn right because the amount of traffic. All this is going to do is add to it that that the amount of traffic um to and then moving on to another subject. The drawing called for a 6ft fence. We have asked just like Remington they they were granted I believe an 8ft uh concrete fence. We want the same thing between us and this new development. We would also like somebody to entertain to put that same 8ft fence along the south boundary between the two puds. Uh so and just have pedestrian access there is all I do know that there has been a traffic as he said there was a traffic light. Um I think it's going to be at northwest 150. It's an SE lane. So that's our concerns. We we are very very very much uh concerned about the drainage uh up there on that north west corner. All of the all the all of the rain waters comes out of Montello and drains out that area as long as and it drains out there and keeps going. And we're con at first we thought it we were told it was going to be be built up higher but we were told that it's going to be at least uh to the level it is now or lower. So I think if that if that happens I think our water issues would be addressed but that is a very big concern of all of us washing out our homes and u so anyway I'd like if you would take that in consideration I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Brian. Okay, that's everyone I have signed up to speak. Thanks. Um, you have anything to add to the No, other than maybe I'll just if if you guys need me to, I can go through the TE's again and just clean them up. Caitlyn's yelling at me that I wasn't specific enough. So, well, and and I don't have all that documentation, so there's no way I can be able to read that into the record. So, I need you tell me when you're ready and I'll do it. Is pedestrian access written in here somewhere? I'm not finding it, but I maybe there is a a pedestrian connectivity plan that he has to submit as a specific plan. Okay.

On the but that's internal to and I think P is asking about a connection to the to the D3 had a pedestrian to go u into the shields, right? So there would be pedestrian access between the two sides, not vehicular. Oh, there it is. Right there. Okay. So, we're fine with pedestrian access. Ready? Ready. We hope all the people in the multif family come and buy groceries

on foot. Make sure it will fit a shopping cart through there. Well, that would be stealing. So, we hope they don't take the shopping carton. And and I did want to make an addition on on the 8ft masonry fence. I wanted it to match in material and color with the one that would be built to the south. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think that's fine. Well, it'll just take some coordination level coordination with with that site, but I think that's fine. That's fine. Not vehicularly.

Okay. What else? Any other comments? Anything else? Any commissioners? No, we're going to go over the Okay, let me give it a shot. 12 TE's.

Okay. TE number one, we agree. Uh TE number two, we agree with the provision that one it match in style and material with the development to the south. And if public works as part of the drainage analysis needs a portion of it to not be there because it would impede the flow, it wouldn't be required for that span. Subject to public works approval. model it perhaps. I just I I don't want to get in a position where public works is like you have to do this but the PUD doesn't allow it so we have to go reszone this

because we're about to be there on Eagle. Yes. So subject to public works approval. Okay. Um, so I think then TE3 we just agree to except it says streets. It says along streets to streets and drives. I I don't know. Just limit the state highway. No state highway on the sidewalks because and there are no internal streets. Oh yeah. Hold on. No. TE3 needs to be modified pursuant to the language that staff gave us. Yeah. Yeah. You read it in earlier.

Yeah. As read earlier, sidewalks limited to 150th Street and there shall be no sidewalk along Portland Avenue and connecting to the south, the pedestrian connection. So I think yeah, pedestrian access to the south. So TE TE3 is swapped with the language I read, the sidewalk language I just read, except that we will have pedestrian connection to the south. TE4 pad sites along 100. Well, I think we just strike to E4.

I would like to instead of striking, I'd just like to modify it. Like I I get the idea of needing parking on the what would be the north side. Fair enough. But let's say parking is limited to two limited to one drive aisle and two and two bays of parking. I fine with that. Okay. So pad sites along 150th and North Portland Avenue frontages shall be located along street frontages with parking in front of buildings limited to drive aisle and two rows of parking. That works.

Okay. Five, we would propose to revise to just say the traffic signal shown on exhibit B shall be required. Period. Six strike. Seven strike. Eight agree. Nine. Dumpsters are prohibited in the west 100 ft of the PUD. 10. The provision of metal and wood within the 70% allowance shall be moved to the 30% allowance. All right. Commissioner Noble, happy with that?

I am. I think that does cover it. Um, with that, I'll make a motion to recommend approval of PUD 2135 with the TEES as read. Have a motion from Commissioner Noble to recommend the item subject to the technical evaluations read into the record. It's been seconded by Commissioner Meek. Please cast your votes. Thank you. And that item is recommended for approval unanimously. Before we May I say one more thing? Uh the the item's been it's been voted on. So Okay.

Thank you. Um before we move on to item 15, the chair and the vice chair need will recuse for this item. So we need a motion for an interim chair for item 15. I would like to make a motion to recommend the interim chair for item 15 to be Janice Powers. A motion to recommend Commissioner Powers for interim chair. I'll second. Second by Commissioner Milner. All in favor? I

opposed. None. All right. I will turn this over to you, Commissioner Powers. Um, item 15 is case SP 606, application for a special permit to operate use unit 8250.2, 2 community recreation in the R1 district at 11711 North Portland Avenue.

Yes, Brandon Boyson, the park plan and development manager for your Oklahoma City parks department. Uh we spoke about this at the last meeting regarding the addition of sports field lightings and there were some other concerns that had come up. And so just to do a quick recap there, the existing soccer fields in the middle section of the site. Do you have the aerial that you can pull up real quick, J? Yeah. So, the middle section that you can see on here has had soccer fields on it for, you know, a good number of years. We've recently, just at the top of the image that you can see there, have uh added five additional fields with the 2017 geo bond. And now the the middle fields are currently being redeveloped to get them in a more playable condition as well as the additional amenities and things to support it which are currently supported underneath the uh the permits and things that are there. The special permit we're seeking is to add the athletic field lights uh which as we discussed last time are they're an LED version of a light. They're heavily shielded and so they are very much minimize the off-field glow and are much more preferred typically than the older style lights that just light up everything around it. Um, we did have some questions and concerns uh last time from neighbors about, you know, some various items and so, you know, we've spent some time in the hallway afterwards uh sharing my contact information and trying to kind of talk through some of that a little bit more. And my understanding from that is they were all fine with the athletic field lights. All the concerns they had were other functions of the facility. And so, you know, they have my contact information that uh matter of fact, I had a gentleman reach out this week about the dust from the construction activity. So, I'd reached out to the contractor to ask him to get a little

bit extra water on a little quicker trying to minimize that. So, you know, that communication is in place and is working and he had mentioned even in that phone call that he was also very supportive of the athletic field lights. So, at this point, I mean, we have some other pictures and stuff of the site. If there's anything that would be followup or if there's any other questions, we're willing and happy to address those at this point.

And we have somebody signed up to speak. Let's hear from Margarite Wise. My name is Margarite Wise and I live at um 4100 Ranken Road in our home backs up to the soccer fields. And first of all, I want to clarify that we have no problem with the soccer fields. We never have. We're glad to see the kids out there. And um what what our um main concerns have to do with our is safety and protection for everyone. And I we don't exactly understand um is the park going to be open when soccer practice or soccer g soccer games are not going on? You know,

if I may. Thanks. Melinda McMillan Miller, parks and recreation director. Thank you for your question. And so the uh Cameron Park Soccer Complex is actually operated and managed by the North Oklahoma City Soccer Club who have been the residents of that property for over 25 years. Um as part of that they have the full control of the property. So they are responsible for all the security maintenance etc. So the property is meant only for soccer or for sporting activities. So, if it's not um a soccer event happening or if there's another um athletic event like lacrosse or something, if it's not a sport activity happening, then the park is completely closed. And uh what are the hours for opening and closing?

So, the it really is dependent on the activities that are planned. Of course. Of course. Right. Yeah. Okay. So, will there be um a police presence? Are there metal detectors uh for soccer games? I know some of the schools started that uh a number of years ago. Um checking handbags like I had mine checked downstairs. U backpacks and um I'm interested in if there will be uh posting um no alcohol or drugs, no weapons,

u no smoking, no matches, no fires, uh and no trespassing on private property. Absolutely. So, if I could answer those first questions for you. So, just so I don't forget one. Yeah.

The um the park hours are again controlled by the by the um operators. Um and then when it comes to park rules, we have standard park rules across all of our park system. So, those are for um no smoking, absolutely not. Um and considering that this is a athletic complex, it also has posted rules for proper behavior. Um, the soccer club also posts rules for behavior and that includes no weapons that includes um other I'm sure I can't remember all of them off the top of my head, but they have a posted rules and signs at all of the gates. As far as security is concerned, um, if I think if the soccer club has a concern that there's a lot of people at the complex for a tournament or etc., They may have engaged with the police department uh reserve officers just for traffic flow, but they don't have security issues as far as like violent behavior, gun carrying, that kind of this is it's a private soccer club, so teams are invited there. It's not just a free-for-all. Come show up and if you are at that property, you're there for a very specific reason for sport. And so, um, it being a public park, it's still mainly soccer fans and family and players.

Yes, that's correct. It's an athletic facility. Well, and so the operator um opening and closing those are securely locked and unlocked. Yes, ma'am. And who who cleans it? He's he or she or the company is responsible for cleaning up and picking up. And what about the when there's tournaments u the additional parking? How's that going to work? Everything will be inside

inside the complex. Yes. The new design that um is a maps for voter approved project um that CEC design is designed and um is under construction now is all the parking is managed on the property itself. Um we're working on traffic um questions among the on 122nd Street and Portland. Right. So, those are all being addressed now. A lot of traffic already. Yeah. Yes. There's always so much traffic up there now, but yes, we all of this parking, everything is amen, as you can see on that um all the gray lines up on there are all um traffic parking accommodations. There's a lot of work going on now. And when do you expect to complete the fields and the concession and the park?

We are really, and I'm going to stare at my friends over in CC. I think we're um expecting that in July of next year to be completed in construction, December of this year, but then plane next summer, right? Okay. Yes. So, next summer, June. Well, hopefully if the grass grows in very well, we'll be playing on those fields April, May, June next year. Great. Well, again, I want to say we're not opposed, we've never been opposed to the sport of the kids because we all grew up involved in sports and we think it's very um important, significant for a child Yeah. of all ages, you know, teens, young adults to be involved. So, thank you very much. Thank you for coming.

Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. No problem. I want to be clear that that I understand the the I don't know if it's a company or an organization or what how to refer to them that the soccer club that manages the field whatever um regulation it's probably not the right word that they place on the property in terms of hours of operation whatever is that over and above is it layered on top of the regulations that the city would have for any of its parks so it's not either or it's both.

That's right. That's correct. So, um, for the city ordinances, park hours are 5:00 am to 11 pm. After 11 pm, that is past park curfew. So, unless the, um, club actually has an event, and I've never seen them go past 11:00, but in case they would, normally they would always reach out to me and say, "We've got a really large event. We had early rain in the morning. We need to go play finish out a couple of games or a couple of matches towards the end of the day. We need to push into 11 or 11:30. Are you okay with that?" and we we say just shut the lights off when you're done.

So, just as a a matter of process, if if a person has an issue with whatever how something's being run out there, is is is there a contact information that's posted on site for someone to call with a complaint or whatever, would that go to you? Would that go to the soccer club? That goes to the soccer club most of the time. You know, the soccer club has their number posted inside their complex, but then also if there's ever a question, anyone can always reach out to the parks department, the action center, excuse me, action center, mayor's office, whatever have you. We're always happy to respond and help it. And I know you're really good about that. So, you know, I I think I think that's good. I really do. Thank you so much for coming. I really appreciate it.

Thank you. Um, I don't have anybody else signed up to speak. Is there anybody else here who was wanting to be heard? It looks like these are all folks that are on this. Um, so with that, um, we need a motion. I guess I don't think I get to make one since I'm the chair at the moment, but is this a a recommendation? It is. I I'd make a recommendation to approve. Yeah. Special permit. Yep. Special permit 606. Did you have something else you wanted to say? I'm just here if there's any last minute questions. I want them to be ready to answer for you. Okay.
