So thank you guys.

I'm not uh say, Mayor, that I've been asked to uh speak after you, so uh leave me something to say.

Yeah, okay.

I'll send you some notes.

Okay.

I I want to say too, um I don't know about the rest of the council, but other than campfire girls, um I PTA was definitely where I learned a lot of my leadership skills as well.

I have a lot of citizens that ask me, like, how should I get involved if I want to do things, you know, like you're doing, and I'm like, get involved in your PTA because you learn such good leadership skills, how to get along with other people that may not think the same way as you do.

Um, and so thank you for all that you do for our students here in Broken Arrow, and thank you um for spending your time and uh making our schools so good.

Thank you.

Every school in Broken Arrow has a PTA.

That's right.

Not only what you do for our students, but also for our teachers and staff in the schools.

You guys do so much.

Uh my wife is an educator, and I have a lot of educators who are friends, and I am a part of multiple PTAs here in Broken Arrow, but uh we support you guys wholeheartedly and we appreciate everything you do.

I've been welcome at that conference last year.

So far.

Thank you guys for being here tonight.

We'd be happy to have a school, and you can join any other.

So for those that may not have heard, um, you can join the PTA from the Broken Arrow Public Schools website.

And you do not have to have a student in that school.

That's right.

Okay.

Thank you.

All right, item C presentation discussion and possible direction by City Council on the proposed manual fees.

Cindy.

Oh, here it is.

Good evening.

Cindy Arnold, Finance Director.

Um, good evening, thank you for this opportunity.

Um when we did our budget workshop in May, we had discussion of the manual fees very briefly, and we're just gonna go over it again briefly, and then next month I'll bring a resolution if we have direction to move forward as suggested.

Manual fees, we remember it does not go into effect until October 1st every year.

Um these will not go into effect if these are approved next month with a resolution until October 1st.

We do not change a whole lot of fees this year.

Um these are the cemetery fees increased fees by two percent.

Um the May CPI for the funeral services was 4.2, but we usually historically we usually do about half.

So we don't, you know, in the time of need.

And one of the things that um we also remove the baby fee for baby land um for ages five and under, so there will be no cost to the parents for an infant.

And then one of the miscellaneous fees, um, this is based on the publication rate uh, is a newspaper when we have to advertise something for uh like for Rocky's department.

They were charging 175 dollars, now they've gone up to 215.

So we're just passing on the costs to us.

Park and recreation fee.

We talked briefly in May about this.

Um this is the impact fees that are charged to developers.

It goes into a special revenue fund that's only used for parking recreation capital improvements.

It's basically fund 332.

Um we um we after discussion um we decided that it'd be best if we raised a 10 percent of these fees have not been raised in many years.

So, like a single family home, it was paid 195, now it'd be 21460, and then per bedroom 55 to 60 dollars.

Now it'd be $214.60, and then per bedroom $55 to $60.

So it's only a 10% increase.

And as I said, these fees have not been increased in a while, and it's only it's a special revenue.

When they pay for the building permit, it goes into this fund, and there's only for parks capital improvements.

And just to clarify, this fee is goes to the developer, not to the individuals buying the homes.

Is that correct?

Correct, it's in the permit.

Yeah.

Community center fees.

We have talked about this too.

Um we have a lot of non-residents that use our fees, our facilities.

And so we did come up with some for like a family membership for the community center.

If you're broken era resident, there's no fee.

But if you're a non-resident, it's 45 dollars per month.

Any of these fees for the community centers, any park fees that are up here in the next few slides, there is no change to the residence.

It's only for non-resident.

So for the family membership, it would go 45 dollars per month.

Uh, individual would be 25, and the daily pass would be five dollars.

But again, residents, there's no charge.

The city facilities, we always had a difference between resident and non-resident.

Um, we kept the resident section completely the same, and we did do a 20% increase for non-resident um on all the fees to run the facilities.

So, like the meeting room with the kitchen went from 45 to 54, so it's a nine dollars.

Um, and then the gym.

I'm not gonna go through every single one of them, but it is a 20% across the board for non-residents.

There's a few more.

This is the Knee High community center.

Because uh Central Park and Knee Highers have a little different rates a little bit.

And we kept the cleaning fee the same for resident or on, and then the swimming pool rentals.

Um, the resident was 250, the non-resident was 350, it went up to 420.

Um, Knee High's Park Aquatic went up, and the country air pool went up also, and the park shelters went from 25 to 30 dollars for a non-resident.

And then Battle Creek, um, they they put in new rates every year.

They basically on any of them just went up a couple of dollars.

Um, the Twilight they did go up from 34 to 39.

Um, but their rates it's pretty comparable what they've done for the last few years because it's cost of operation.

And then here's some more includes carts.

And they also do have annual car holders, and they went up uh for individual at 233 a month to 250.

So, as this is comparable what they've done in the last few years.

And this is the proposed utility rates.

Remember, our utilities just not water and sewer.

Um, we kept them very minimal.

Um, water was one and a quarter percent, storm water, there was no change, sewer went up eight percent, solid waste a dollar fifty, life ride no change, and street light no change.

So and on the the sewer, there were if I'm not mistaken, it's our charges to transport and such have gone up, right?

To process and exactly okay.

Sewer is always um been low for the the cost of actually you know changing it.

Kenny could probably answer that better.

So basically, when you add it with a 7300 gallon we use as an average, that's something we've used the last couple of years, and four and a half uh four point four million four hundred and fifty gallons sewer, the average bill is gonna go up only five dollars and ninety-six cents on these proposed rates, and the biggest is um for sewer stormwater fees same, trash uh solid waste is only a dollar and a half.

Life rides stayed the same, and street lights stayed the same.

So on a 7300 gallon bill, uh our current bill would be about 154, and we're just going up to 160.

So it's five dollars and ninety-six cents difference.

I don't know if anybody has any questions.

Yeah, I would like to comment if I can, Mayor.

So, as we talked about in the budget work session, uh obviously there are a lot of comments, especially online about utilities in the belief that apparently that our utility rates should never go up.

And I think it's important that uh the public understand is that the utilities is a business, and that business has expenses, and those are business expenses.

If you put them in categories, are your personnel, your day-to-day operational expenses, the capital improvement program, and as a growing community and a community that has older infrastructure that has to be has to be um actually upgraded, and otherwise it's going to be more expensive to replace it.

And then the council has a policy on making sure that we have adequate reserves should there be something uh extraordinary or unexpected happen.

And when you look at the cost of doing business, it's no different to the city than it is to add any private citizen or any other business.

The cost of everything has gone up, and so when we look at the adjustments in the fees, we have a we have a rate model that we utilizes, but it takes any consideration to where we stay just above where we need to be to cover those expenses.

And so this year, in order to give the the citizens some relief, I made the recommendation, and council was in agreement at the time is that we were going to reduce the the rate increase being proposed by not adding additional people based on the fact that council has been uh very supportive of adding additional people, which obviously there are costs associated with this, but it's also your biggest resource.

And being responsive, having uh qualified people, uh we have some of the best in the business at what they do.

In order to do that, you have to retain those people, you have to have you have to have good compensation packages, you also have to have funds to pay for the cost of increases in electricity, gas, and other outdated operations.

Is that I recommended that we not add what probably would have been five to eight additional people in the BAMA departments, and so the rate increase this year is half of what it would have been because I believe this is a year that we could hold off on hiring any additional new people.

And the water tap fees, these are based on actual cost, and I double checked this with Jerry.

Um, the one and a half uh uh irrigation, it actually went down nine dollars because of some valve is cheaper.

So we're actually only charged these charges, are actually what cost us to do the work.

Okay, and we've done this every year.

He prices them out every year, and we adjust them accordingly.

So we actually had one go down this year.

And then free crossing for water meter, um, the old rate, these are based on actual costs.

And that's all I have.

Any questions?

I just threw out a comment.

I just appreciate uh what Mr.

Spurgeon said there, because I think it's very important that um we do the same thing as a city.

Um we do our best that we're asking our citizens to do with with the economy the way it is, all of our homes are we're having to tighten up our belt buckles and do our best to live within our budget, and I think it's wise that wisdom that we did that as far as limiting the number of new folks so we could try to tighten our the city's budget so we can be wise towards other people's money, um, and it's reflected here in this manual fees with the services that haven't changed and the decreased amount of of increases that would have been.

So you have a was there a percentage that was the overall increase with the changes of the manual fees?

No, I didn't do it.

I can't even get that figured out.

Okay, we we have a lot of like um all the permit fees that there was no change on that.

There was no fire changes because um, if you remember correctly, last year we went to a flat rate.

Um, so we raised barely the minimum this year.

Okay.

All right.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you.

Is that right, Twitter?

Yes, ma'am.

I'll make a motion then that we uh accept the uh recommendation of the uh fees second.

And I just hit the button twice roll call.

Okay.

Item D, consideration discussion and possible direction to construct traffic calming devices along South Oak Avenue and the Aspen Creek 1 subdivision in accordance with the traffic calming policies that evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council, Mr.

Spurgeon.

Um, for your discussion and consideration is the installation of a traffic calming device, in this case, also known as a speed hump along South Oak Avenue in the Aspen Creek subdivision.

Um speed humps were originally installed near West El Paso, exactly where you see in this diagram near West El Paso and West Fort Worth Street on South Oak Avenue Avenue in 2011.

Those speed humps were removed as part of a street rehab project in 2017.

Um and staff performed some speed studies on July 7th at the locations you see there of the removed speed humps in response to request for the speed humps to be reinstalled.

The results of the speed study showed an average traffic count of 270 vehicles per day.

That's total in both directions.

With the 85 with 85% of those vehicles going 29 miles per hour or less.

According to the traffic control manual adopted by city council in 2015, speed humps may be installed only if traffic exceeds 500 vehicles per day, or the 85th percentile exceeds 30 30 miles per hour.

This request does not meet those minimum requirements, but despite not meeting the thresholds, the applicant is appealing to counsel supported by the petition that is in the agenda packet.

As well as the letter from the Aspen Creek HOA management company that was provided to you earlier.

If if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Also, the applicant, I believe, is uh here tonight if you'd like to hear from them.

Would you go with those numbers again?

Sure, quick quick.

Yeah, so the um the threshold is 500 vehicles per day with an 85th percentile of 30 miles per hour.

The this speed study had 270 vehicles per day with an 85th percentile of 29 miles per hour.

So that so that 29 miles per hour means that all the vehicles or 85% of the vehicles that were traveling through there were going 29 miles per hour or less.

Thank you.

Welcome.

The resonate.

I can't believe it's Casey Moyer is here tonight.

Right there, right.

Good evening.

Sorry, I'm like very nervous.

Um but thank you guys so much for um giving me the time to speak tonight.

My name is Casey Moyer.

Um, I'm a resident on South Oak Avenue.

And um I'm here to respectfully ask the city council to reinstall the speed bumps that were previously located on our street.

After years of watching people speed through our neighborhood, I realized I needed to take the initiative to do something about it.

Um I obtained our HOA board's approval, and I set out to gather the 75% of uh signatures required um for the petition of people along our street.

And honestly, that wasn't a small task in today's world.

Um most people do not want to answer the door because they're tired of dealing with all the pushy salespeople.

And there were many times when I wondered if I could even get people to open the door.

Um, but inspired by Leslie Noeb, if you know, um I persisted.

And honestly, something remarkable happened.

The moment I introduced myself as their neighbor and explained that I was working to get the city to reinstall reinstall our speed bumps, every single person's demeanor automatically changed.

Every single person.

Um people who had opened their doors cautiously would immediately smile, grab the clipboard, and sign the petition, and then the stories would start.

They would tell me about their growing frustration with drivers speeding through our neighborhood.

They shared stories about close calls while backing out of their driveways.

Um they talked about how difficult it has become to safely navigate our street because of fast-moving traffic.

They expressed the fear that one day a child riding a bike or chasing a ball or simply crossing the street could be seriously injured.

What stood out to me most was how many people thanked me.

Thank you so much for doing this.

Thank you so much for taking the time.

I'm so glad somebody is finally addressing this and trying to make that change.

The amount of gratitude I received only strengthened my resolve and solidified what I already knew.

We need those speed bumps put back in.

There are several reasons why speeding has become such a concern on South Oak Avenue.

First, our street is unusually wide for a residential neighborhood.

Um, it's a main pathway through, and it connects to another um neighborhood.

Um it's it is about wide enough for four vehicles to ride side by side.

Um, we know with traffic engineering research that wider road rate, I'm sorry, right?

Wider roadways and lanes encourage higher speeds because drivers feel more comfortable and perceive less risk.

Studies have found that vehicle speeds tend to increase as lane widths increase and wetter lanes are often associated with higher crash rates.

In other words, South Oak Avenue isn't just experiencing a speeding problem.

The design of the street itself unintentionally encourages speeding.

Secondly, we have that S curve that you can see in uh on the screens.

Um and that creates more safety concerns because of that curve.

Drivers cannot see as far ahead as they could on a straight roadway, especially with cars parked along the sides of it.

When vehicles are traveling at excessive speeds, they have less time to see and react to a child crossing the street, a bicyclist or someone walking their dog or a family out for an evening walk.

The curve also makes it difficult for for residents backing out of their driveways.

We often cannot see approaching vehicles until they are much closer than we'd like.

And when those vehicles are speeding, what should be a routine maneuver becomes a stressful one.

I've heard story after story from neighbors about near misses while backing out because cars come around that curve much faster than expected.

When you combine a road that encourages speeding with the limited visibility, the risks increase dramatically.

The speed bumps um uh had addressed those risks.

They slowed traffic, they reminded drivers that they were entering a neighborhood, not a shortcut.

They made it safer for children, pedestrians, cyclists, families, and residents backing out of their driveways.

Most importantly, they worked.

We should not have to wait for a tragedy before taking preventative action.

We should not have to wait for a child to be struck, a pedestrian to be injured, or a serious collision to occur before restoring a proven safety safety measure.

The residents of South Oak Avenue have made their feelings clear.

They signed a petition, they shared their concerns, their concerns.

They supported a solution that improves safety in our neighborhood.

And tonight I stand before you, not just for myself, but for the many neighbors who asked me to bring their concerns forward.

The residents did the hard part.

We organized, we talked to our neighbors, we demonstrated overwhelming support for a solution that worked, and I respectfully asked the city council to help us keep our neighborhoods safe and take that necessary uh the necessary steps to reinstall the speed bumps on South Oak Avenue.

Thank you so much for your time, your service, and your consideration.

I'm sorry.

You did great.

You did great.

Do you have any questions or anything else for me?

No, I think um, in my opinion, you've done, I mean, there's a we have a process and you did what is asked of you to be able to get those speed bumps back in and it makes sense about the S curve to me.

I'm not a street engineer by any means, but I can see how that could be dangerous.

And I every time we have something like this, I think about the fact that there were re there was a reason why there were speed bumps put in in the first place, and then when we do the repairs and we take them out, and it's almost like we have to jump through hoops to put them back in.

Um so, but that's just my personal opinion.

But I I guess um my question is there were four people that said no that lived on your street by your parti your petition.

There's four people.

Um I believe the no's are uh no to haven't are renters.

I'm sorry, what the renters are.

Oh, they just didn't want them like directly in front of their house.

Okay, so they're four, they're fine having they just didn't want them ride at their house.

Yes.

Okay.

Like for you know, if people come over and need to park up in front of their house.

Okay, okay.

Because I was like that would have made it a little harder to want to like yeah, no.

Um I do do I do know that there are some sometimes there are special circumstances where you cannot meet the traffic calming requirements.

Um and as the mayor said, clearly you had had them before we did the repaving.

Um and now that I know that it's four people that didn't want them in front of their house, yeah.

That does make it a little easier um for a decision to be made for sure.

How long have they been gone?

I believe they were moved in 2011 or they're removed in 2017.

Oh, okay, they're installed in approximately 2011 and removed in 17.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

So my question is have we reached out to our wonderful police department to uh ask them for any additional enforcement to be done in that area?

Um I we actually have um a BAPD that lives on our streets that signed the petition.

That um but that that doesn't answer my question.

I mean I know that oftentimes they will do directed patrol in a specific area if they know there's a problem, but they don't know there's a problem, they can't do that patrol in that area to try to help resolve that problem because that's our first line of defense for speeding is our law enforcement.

So that was just my question.

I don't know if uh any of our officers know the answer to that, or if you all as a neighborhood have done any of that, but that's always the first line of defense.

Not that I know of.

I just I don't think there's a consistent time to have them come out, you know.

Like it's not like over at Indian Springs where people are cutting through after ball games to you kind of know.

You know what I mean?

Sure.

Sporadic, yeah.

Did you?

Mayor, I would just want to say is that first I want to applaud the traffic committee because they do a very uh amazing job of managing the city's codes when it comes to requests from citizens, uh requests from entities and so forth.

And this is why we have an appeal, and I would recommend the council that that you basically uh honor the request that's been made and have them reinstall.

So the traffic um the traffic committee is endorsing this recommendation.

Actually, it falls it it's outside of what the policy says, but they can always appeal, and to me, the peace of mind is worth it is worth having these reinstall.

I think it was very brave of you to come and to ask for this to me that you're passionate about wanting these installed in your neighborhood.

Um, because it does take a lot.

It takes a lot to go knock on your neighbor's door and ask and ask for this.

Um now you know your neighbors, which is also a plus for sure.

Um, you should consider having a block party on National Night House.

You get to know these people even more.

Got invited in and got fed like homemade food and yeah, good job.

Um, but I I uh I I agree.

I think I think it's worth I think it's worth going ahead, because like I said, it's not always it's not always black and white sometimes.

I mean you can't always go by the way.

I think if there wasn't hadn't been there beforehand, that I really couldn't support it just because you're setting the precedence.

But since it was there already, you know, I could view uh young kids that was there at that time, you know what I mean, knowing that that the speed bumps were there, and then all of a sudden they're not there, they'd be in dangers itself.

So I'm in favor of it, but really the reason is because they had to be taken out before, and you had them before.

Thanks for taking time to come down and speak to us.

I noticed that Rick didn't come down with you, but you come down by yourself, but that's all right, Rick.

There you go.

And I said I don't think so because I'm the one that talked to Lori and it was Ted.

That was Tim.

And um I was on the agenda and sorry.

Okay, okay.

Good man, you're a good man, Rick.

Okay, there you go.

Fantastic.

Well, thanks for taking time to come down and speak to us.

Uh so just to move things along, I'll go ahead and make a motion that we uh approve putting the speed bumps back in.

I second.

Thank you, Zach.

All right.

All right.

Item 7E is public hearing, consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding the rezoning application for Creek Line Village.

Rocky.

Good evening, Madam Mayor, Mr.

Vicemor, members of council, city manager, Mr.

Spurgeon.

I'm community development director Rocky Hinkle.

BAZ 2826-2026 is a rezoning request proposing to change the zoning on this property from A1 agriculture to RSP single family residential preservation for the purpose of a single family residential subdivision.

This property is unique.

If you look at the comprehensive plan, you'll see that little sliver there down the bottom that is purple, which is level six.

So the comprehensive plan reflects approximately 2.07 of the 39.18 acres of the parcel designated for level six regional employment commercial, with the remaining 37.11 acres designated for level two urban residential.

Under the implement implementation policies of the comprehensive plan, policy 17 states, a 10% variance or adjustment in the gross area of the specific Lewis level designations, however, shall be allowed to accommodate errors in surveying or computerization of the NCOG parcel base mapping upon which the future development guide was created.

In no case, however, shall this adjustment be allowed to increase or decrease the gross area of the Lewis designation by more than 10% adjustments of overall gross area by more than 10% shall only be made after receipt of an amendment to the future development guide as outlined herein.

Based on this provision, the 2.07 acres is under the 10% threshold of the 39.18 acres.

The surrounding land use are followed.

On the north is comprehensive plan level one, the zoning is A and R1, the land use is single family.

To the east, comprehensive plan is level one, the zoning is A, R1 and RS1, the land use is single family.

To the south is level 6, A1, and PUD 286A.

It is land use as vacant land, and south of that parcel is fire station number three.

To the west is level two, zoning is A1, single family use.

This request was heard by the before the planning commission at the regular meeting of June 11, 2026, where public comments concerned uh around a 40-foot wide lot versus a 60-foot wide lot.

Floodplain and water being diverted from a pond on the east side of 23rd Street.

The applicant stated that the 40-foot wide lots and RSP zoning require 25% open space, providing uh approximately 10 acres of open green space and equating to 5.89 dwelling units per acre.

The 60-foot wide lots would be RS zoning.

However, no open space is required with this with this zoning, resulting in 6.7 dwelling units per acre.

The RS zoning would have a higher density than the proposed RSP.

Staff confirmed that there is no flood plan on the property and that the applicant would be required to adhere to all stormwater regulations of the city of City of Broken Arrow.

Uh since earlier today we received a uh updated conceptual plan that the applicant or the representative of the property owner will show you, it's very similar to what's in your packet with just a little bit more detail.

Um right now this plan is proposing 178 lots.

A motion was made to recommend approval of the rezoning but failed due to a lack of a second.

A motion was made to recommend denial and pass with a 3-1 vote with some commissioners expressing concern about the smaller lots uh about the smaller proposed lot sizes.

The applicant provided a written request within 15-day time frame for the rezoning application to be heard by city council.

Based on the comprehensive planning and the location of the property, staff recommends that BAZ 2826-2026 be approved.

There are representatives of the property owner here to address any questions you may have.

And we do have people signed up to speak, so I'm gonna hear from the residents first.

I have a quick I have a question of you, uh Rocky.

Yes, sir.

The land to the south was uh the comp plan.

What was it again?

To the south was uh level six.

How did that isn't that a mid-mile type in there?

How did that level six get in that area?

Do you know?

I have no idea unless it was part of the public process, but I just thought maybe there was some reason because it's certainly uh industrial type land.

It could be industrial or commercial.

The south, right.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yep.

Okay.

Um from the applicant or no, I'm in here from the residents first.

That way the applicant can answer any questions.

Uh Charles Sanders.

I'm Charles Sanders.

I live at 11399 793 Avenue, which is directly across the street.

And I'm on the purple land to the south of it.

And 40 foot lots, just against 40 foot lots.

I've been a land developer and builder in broken air for 50 years.

And there's a better use for the land than 40 foot lots.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Rick Bates.

Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council members.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak this evening.

My name is Rick Bates, and I live in Arrowwood Estates, which is just to the east on County Line Road, down 114th and 115th.

All of our lots in there are one to two acres.

All of the lots on 114th on the west side of county line are the same.

They're one to two acres.

They're wanting to put I couldn't count them that fast.

160 some odd homes in there with on very small, I call them postage stamp lots, and it it does not go with the area.

And that is what the planning commission cited.

They said that it is not in the strategic plan to have that kind of a development in that area.

And I would hope that y'all would decide the same this evening.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

And then we have Rob Robin Habener.

Good evening, City Council.

My name is Robin Havener, and my address is 11417 South 1903 East Avenue.

So my yard directly faces that neighborhood.

Now, outside of the tragedy of taking down my favorite pecan tree, which will probably happen, which will make me very sad.

Um, my bigger concern is really around property values.

If you go from 101st all the way to 121st on county line, all of those homes are on acre, acre and a half lots, some of them bigger than that.

And so when you think about the effect of putting in 178 first time homes, which I completely support.

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

All right.

My name's Natalie Cornette with Eller and Dietrich.

I represent uh the developer in this case, Kalera.

And um you've heard from staff that they're recommending approval, um, planning commission recommended denial.

I want to talk to the council about what the RSP district is and what um the code um says about the this specific zoning district and why it's appropriate for this location.

Um so as you know, the council adopted a new zoning code just last year.

Um RSP preservation does have the smallest residential lot size, and it it's in exchange for 25% of permanent open space.

So that's what the site plan um represents is uh that 25% minimum open space.

And what the code says is that the intent of this district is to provide a rural and suburban character, and the increased lot counts are an incentive for people to use this zoning district RSP.

So the developer gets smaller lots so they can fit more in, and the the surrounding rural or suburban area gets more open space.

So that's the intent of the RSP district, and that's why we've requested it here.

The RSP is consistent with the level two comprehensive plan designation, and it's appropriate buffer.

If we could go back to the aerial, or excuse me, the comprehensive plan.

And which is level six to our south and adjacent to the Creek Turnpike.

So this is while it's currently vacant to our south, it's planned and can be an extremely intense use industrial, commercial, something appropriate along um that highway corridor.

There are sufficient utilities to serve this property.

There's no floodplain.

Um we have not done the engineering yet, so 178 is a conceptual number when we do the engineering work at plotting.

That number most likely, as it always does, goes down slightly rather than up.

Um 193rd is also sufficient to serve this property.

It's a four-lane road with a center turn lane.

Um, I understand there is some backup at the Creek Turnpike entrance and exit, but um, in my experience, those backups are traffic um improvements are made as more development arrives rather than um less.

So we respectfully request that you approve this rezoning in accordance with your staff's recommendation and in accordance with your comprehensive plan, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Questions?

Just for clarifying if they went with the other zoning.

Can you speak to that again?

They could actually fit more homes in because there's less green space, correct?

Yes, sir.

That is correct.

A dwelling per units per acre would increase would be a higher density in the RS zoning versus the RSP zone.

And the current homes that are are there, um, those are not platted, is that right?

Yes, sir.

That's correct.

So they were probably there prior to being annexed into the city.

Somebody once told me, and I I it rings very true that you know, if if you're you're in love with what you got out beside you, the views beside you, the pecan tree that's beside you, the best way to preserve that is to buy it.

And and uh I think that's what that's one of the things that I see a lot online from from people like, why is the city doing this?

The city's doing this, the city, the city, get rid of the council.

Well, we can't I can't control what if someone decides they want to sell their private land, you know, as a council, that's not our job to control if somebody wants to sell their land.

Now, whoever wants to buy it, that's that's out there in the market.

So I'm assuming this land has been for sale for at least a period of time.

So anyone who wanted to purchase any developer could have purchased this land.

It wasn't restricted.

So what kind of buffer will there be like around like next to these um acre two-acre lots?

How like how much buffer will there be?

So on this conceptual plan, again it's conceptual, but we've we're showing um a 50-foot buffer um between the to with our boundary to the north, and it may be slightly less on the um, I believe that's the west side, it might be 30 to 50 foot buffer.

So where's the so those are the the acre two-acre lots?

Um, and then that's a house like at the bottom.

Is that a house or a barn?

Like what like by like south?

27th, yeah.

I think that's uh open land if there's horses.

It's all of it's open sounds.

And then the fire.

But Robin, in that where your house is is by the fire station?

This is the street.

I look at I look at it.

Okay.

So Rocky, you're saying that they could they could they could put more houses on this lot with the zoning, but current zoning, how is that possible?

It's zone agriculture in so this is a rezoning request to meet.

So if they went with the RS zoning, which would be allowed too, they could put more houses because there's no requirement for open green space.

Right.

So they're requesting the smaller lots with the addition of the 25% green space.

I understand.

Which and I do I love the thought of that because people talk about that all the time about wanting to preserve the green space.

However, I don't think this fits at all in that area of town just because that there's nothing around it that goes along with this for an entire mile, almost two.

So it's just my personal opinion.

But you're right, developers have the ability and owners can purchase land.

Um, but it's also our I mean, we get to take a look at the area and decide how we feel or what we think is fitting for the area.

So but this does need our comprehensive plan.

Yes, ma'am.

So I guess it to me it comes down to well, not not just comes down to, but it's something to consider if we're gonna create a comprehensive plan and set it for everything.

Maybe we should we should have looked at more of where we want those to be allowed instead of saying it's okay to put this here and then going back and say, well, no, it doesn't fit, but yet we put out a comprehensive plan that says it does.

I don't know.

It's stuff.

I mean, I just had a development go across from my neighborhood that I weren't super excited about, but it fit in the plan, and it's it's going in there with lots of problems.

Yep.

Well, smaller lots are going to be in smaller houses.

So you see how many houses are putting in that location.

And I'm all for a small house, to be honest with you.

It's just uh just not in every location.

And this is to me, the mid-mile mark, nearly.

I know it's a little bit south, you know, the mid-mile, but uh I I don't think there's gonna be uh acre and a half or acre lots ever go in there with houses in it to compete or go along with that this neighbor to the north.

But uh I am for a little bit bigger lot in this situation.

This is such a small lot.

Uh it's it's gonna be small houses, and again, there's a need for small houses.

I just don't think it's this location.

Rocky, how many um approved lots do we have currently that houses that have not started development yet in the city of Broken Air?

Uh I want to say it was 3,000, something like that.

Around 3,000.

Okay.

So we have those coming online.

Yes, or somewhere in the process.

Okay.

I will say I did have a resident that lives in that area reach out to me as well, and uh position of it.

Any further questions or discussions?

Or any questions for there's buffers on that side, but they're not on the other side.

So I would assume there's new homes over there.

Yeah, to the west is that open land.

To the south, to the south to the industry.

To the south, we did not put buffers uh because there are no residents there currently, and it's I it's currently zoned agricultural, but it is planned as level six.

So we found found it more appropriate to use utilize that open space to our north boundary.

Are there homes to the west?

No, it's open land.

Yeah, okay.

Thank you.

So staff recommended approval and the planning commission did not agree with that.

Is that correct?

And what was the vote of the planning commission?

Three to one.

And and was one of their reasons is because of the small lots.

One the one that uh voiced their uh concern was around the surrounding lots for larger lot sizes compared to what is proposed.

Uh two of the members did not state why they were denying it.

Just waiting for, yeah, no.

Swing for a motion.

I make a motion that we deny the request.

Second.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, item eight is citizens' opportunity to address the council on general topics related to city business.

We have a couple three, three.

Um Braden Rowland.

I was gonna speak later on the uh it's unlimited on it 81st uh okay.

It it just said item eight, so I guess it is that's right.

Can you approach and just let us know to speak with Curtis and let him know which item it is, and I can we can switch it.

Yeah, it was 26 to 94, I think the right item over there.

Would that be the same for Chuck Rowland?

Yeah, okay.

So once it's passed that one down to us well.

All right, uh Mike Whittle.

Hello, Vice Mayor and nervous here.

Uh my name is Mike Waddell.

I own the Rose Event Center here in Broken Arrow.

I've been there 10 years successfully, survived COVID.

Uh anyway, uh there's uh a few things that I'd like to to bring up.

First off, I'd like to show some recommendations from my business and some photographs.

If can I approach or okay?

Remember, you only have three minutes, so you're gonna have to talk a little faster.

In fact, uh I actually did your remember that.

Oh my gosh, that was a long time ago.

Yeah, I've been here quite a while, haven't I?

There's some pictures of the inside, and I've decorated really good outside and everything.

Right now I have a gazebo that I've used for the last few years for the Santa stuff, and I also use it for my weddings and stuff like that.

Uh I feel like it's it's not in anybody's way.

I've I've got pictures here to show that it's not on the property line or anything like that.

And as you can tell, I've done quite a few weddings with it, and I've even taken taken it to the park.

It's on wheels, which is kind of a wild idea.

But you can see the lines here and everything.

Okay.

Actually, Kay was the one who didn't who just said lots of things and tried not to get me to open my business and stuff.

Um I've done weddings.

I've actually probably the busiest event center in Broken Arrow.

I'd there's there's times I do four and five events a weekend.

If you've driven by, you've seen how busy it is and stuff.

I've had church service here, I've done weddings, I've done birthday parties, I do a lot of celebrational lives, and and I'm really affordable with the people.

I'm not out there to to charge them three and four or five thousand dollars.

Um I've done birthday parties for three or four hundred dollars.

Yeah.

They've come down on me uh over my gazebo.

They also uh whenever I first came here, they I got inspected and everything, and they said as long as I put a fence up, I can keep an RV there.

I had a bus there that I kept uh a lot of my Christmas decorations, my chairs in for the weddings and stuff like that.

And so I've actually cleaned up all that area right here.

And I would like to request either to leave the bus there.

I feel like it's an asset to my business for one, and if they're gonna try to make me move it, at least give me some additional time to try to either sell it or or whatever.

In fact, I think one time you actually wanted to rent it.

That's because of the party bus.

Yeah, but it was but the insurance was so was so high.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Anyway, I I did I have gone in and done my uh everything they wanted as far as fire inspection and all that.

Okay.

Uh anyway, I'd just like for the city to try to work with me.

Here's some letters from different businesses I do business with.

Uh I'd use Maya a lot, Billy Ray's barbecue.

Uh so has someone come to you and said that you can't do something, or are you under some kind of thing?

Yeah, we got some fine hardware reasons.

We had a fight, uh, two girls got into a fight, and it wasn't inside my business, but it was outside a block away.

And uh the mother called the city, and she got code enforcement on me, she got the fire department on me, and she also got the police department on me as well.

But it's all about taking care of well.

I I contacted the police department and gave them all all the information and stuff.

Uh I've got a deal here that the girl from from the girl right here.

You know, as far as I'm concerned, the mom needs to control her daughter instead of putting the burden on me.

You know, the girl went outside and she was she shouldn't have even been there in the first place because she was breaking curfew.

I never let my daughter stay out late.

So and I feel like we we got a lot of other things that we need to worry about.

I mean, you know, they're talking about me sprinkling and everything.

Well, I think maybe we should sprinkle firecracker stands, as you all know what happened, you know.

Uh I think also we we need to worry about pool safety as well.

Have you so I know that you've sent me information, but have you have um have you sent in anything to city staff with your list of concerns to so that they like staff can take a look at things?

Mr.

Hinkle has some thoughts.

Okay.

Uh yeah, I could just shed a little bit of light on this.

Um that he's referring to.

Um I know there was requests for uh the fire department to visit the site and they noticed some life safety measures that needed to be up for the building to be updated to meet code.

And upon the inspection with code enforcement as well, that's the bus that he's alluding to, which is not allowed on the property by zoning ordinance.

Um so look that's kind of a little bit of the history behind it.

If I may, if I may add mayor, this is not the first time we've had situations such as this.

And even though it was couched as two females fighting, it was much more than that, and it taxed our police department significantly based on that.

I directed the fire chief and the chief of police to look into this matter because it is a concern to the community.

I can't control what happens outside uh the police did show up earlier on and they walked through, everything was fine.

They weren't we had security there, they went ahead and left.

Uh I will say, you know, if you guys want me to leave town, just tell me so.

I'm a big boy.

I mean, I can leave, you know.

Uh but I feel like the kids need a place to go.

And I feel like I gave them a safe place.

We had security there, police were there at the beginning of the night, and they seen that they walked in, they seen everything was okay, they left.

If the kids aren't at my place, they're gonna be at the park, they're gonna be somewhere where it's totally uncontrolled.

So now you're opening up another can of worms.

What so as far as this item goes, because we can't take any action as counsel on item eight.

Um, what is the next step for him to be able to?

Stevens directed based on an incident because we have the responsibility to protect the public, and so when the police is called, we have responsibility to respond.

Number one.

Number two, if they're if it's brought to our attention that there's potential code violations, we have a responsibility to go and look at those code code violations.

And so what I need to do is find out where we are in in terms of addressing those code violations.

And if in fact he's in compliance with all of our codes, then there shouldn't be an issue.

But he does still has a responsibility because this has happened multiple times over the years, but there have been incidents where the police have had to be called, and actually that puts our officers at risk because there have been uh some serious incidents in in the past.

And so if he's in compliance, then obviously we're gonna ask him to remain in compliance and also to take uh to take a better uh I would say custody of those people that are at his facility, just like we would anyone else.

And so I did tell them I wouldn't rent to kids anymore, although I think it's sad that they don't have a safe place that they can go the kids inside that uh during that event where they weren't as far as I'm concerned, they weren't doing anything wrong.

They were just talking and pla playing games and and well I understand that Mike, but I I just got to clarify something that you made the indirect comment that if we want you to leave town, this council doesn't want any business to leave town.

All we ask is for those to comply with the code.

Right.

And if you're willing to work with them, but I also feel like I need some extra time if like if you want me to move the bus, I gotta try to sell it or something, you know.

Um, I'm not aware of all the specifics of what you've been asked to do, but unless it's a life safety type matter, there's never been a time and we haven't granted someone additional time.

And so I'm here to tell you that if I look into this and you need additional time to get a compliance, and it's not something that's putting someone in your facility at risk at that particular time.

We we will work with you like we we have before.

Okay, I just need to actually I did talk with the fire, you know, they came out like a few days later, and they're like, hey, you really did a lot here, you know.

I'll put the the lights up, I've I've opened up the back.

You know, I'm trying to work with everybody here.

So I'm sorry.

What's been the time frame from the time that there were the violations indicated to now?

How long has this been?

I have till the end of the month, I believe.

But when did you first receive them?

Probably about five, six weeks ago.

Yeah.

Sounds like there needs to be an appointment scheduled between Mr.

Mike and City staff.

Um this is the first we're hearing about this, so you're this is not something that we've been like plotting because I've never heard about this before you come up to speak to us.

So it sounds like you'd have a conversation with city staff and try to work.

I mean, they're they're almost every business.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

And if there's additional things that we need to come before council, then we can bring it back before council.

Yeah, I want to work with you guys.

I've been here uh like a decade.

I've done thousands of.

Okay.

I already appreciate it.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

Thank you, Deborah.

Thank you, sir.

All right, item nine A, consideration discussion and possible approval of resolution uh number 1752.

Thank you, Mayor.

Members and council uh Curtis Green may jump in here as well as as Trevor, and what I'm asking the council members to consider is some amendments to the rules of procedures for for uh how council operates, and there's uh a proposed resolution that's attached to this item, and under uh chapter I'm sorry, statute uh 11, Title 11, the City Council that's a form of government.

We have a a statutory council management or government.

The council has the ability to establish rules and regulations of how your your meetings are governed, when you meet, the days you meet, and so forth and so on.

In this resolution, it actually outlines the the current rules and regulations that the council operates by, and Trevor is assured that these rules or regulations or the guidelines are consistent with title title eleven.

And it goes in section number two, talks about uh regular and special meetings because the city council has to establish when you're gonna meet on a regular basis, the time you're going to meet, and then we submit the open public meetings uh uh notifications according to that when you hold a special meeting and so forth.

The item that I wanted to visit with you about is something I'm asking for your consideration, and uh this is something council may be prepared to act on tonight, or we can discuss it further, is it's regarding uh the agenda preparations and postings of of the meetings.

Right now, the way that it works, if it's a recognition or a proclamation, the council members would submit that to the mayor, and that would go into the agenda, usually under section number seven.

When it comes to actually uh any type of general business or ordinance, any one council member can actually uh ask for that to be put on the agenda for discussion.

In many communities, it requires uh more than one council member to actually put something on the agenda other than a proclamation or recognition, and we do a lot of those.

In fact, uh section seven, uh every meeting it seems like we're recognizing uh individuals and entities that that uh have something to do to make us a great city.

So this really had doesn't have anything to do with in terms of the recognition of the proclamations, it's just that as we as a larger city and as we go in forward, I wanted to find out if the council would be interesting in establishing a policy that it would take three council members to put any type of item on general business, uh account discussion about an ordinance or anything related to to governing the city or council discovering that, and it would be a very simple process that if that if council agreed where the city clerk would send something out and say there's a council member that would like to discuss this particular item under general business.

Are there are there other council members that would would like to have that on the agenda as well?

And if council agrees to that, then that would that rule would be updated, and if um two other council members would agree with that, it would be placed on the agenda.

If through two other council members did not agree with that, that item would not be placed on the agenda for discussion.

It's really just that simple.

I wanted to see if council was wanting to move towards take it taking multiple councils to have something placed on an agenda.

So councilmen couldn't visit with each other about it, but they would take all of it uh to uh Mr.

Green.

Exactly.

That's Vice Mayor, that's exactly right.

If they wanted to discuss something regarding a policy, I'll use this.

I'll use this for example because this is something council is going to talk about at the next meeting or the second meeting in August.

Councilmember Green submitted something to my office uh while I was on vacation, wanting to talk about signage in South Broken Arrow.

He's noticed some things that he wants to talk to the governing body about.

Right now, he could he could that's gonna be placed on the agenda because one council member can place them on the agenda.

Um council mayor should be able to talk about items, uh, but to me it to be should uh is there support to do that.

So there would he would put an email like he sent to me, he'd send that to Curtis or to myself, and then we would send something out that said councilman green is requisite would like to talk to the care the full body of the council about uh basically our signage code with regard to commercial development.

That it's not gonna say anything else, you're not gonna talk to each other, it's going to be yes, I'm in support of this, at least if two or could be all five, and then actually that would give legal myself and the city clerks uh the basically direction to add that to the appropriate part of the agenda.

That's a because I was gonna use that example because he sent that to me last week.

So that's the most germane to where we are today.

Um obviously, if uh council may feel like it's okay for one person to put something on there, if councils if I will say this to the contrary, if one council member would have the ability to continue to put something on the agenda every single time, even though councils made a decision, but if it requires but if you have multiple council members uh that that would be that would be needed to secure that, then obviously uh that's something that I a lot of other cities actually do and in order to keep business moving forward of the of the governing body.

I mean Trevor or Curtis, I'm sorry.

See if you have one to add anything.

No, I would just uh mention that it is a procedural and administrative action and to be similar of getting a second, and so the no meeting does occur, and it all is done through the clerk's office, and so there's no consensus building, there's no substantive discussion.

Uh there's there's nothing there that that would raise uh you know potential violation of the over the meeting act.

And so it's just to be a very clear straightforward as we our community does get bigger, um, having something in place that procedurally, you know, uh addresses uh to staff, how do we conduct the business uh you would be a good idea?

Uh so that's that's why this is before the body at this point.

Happy to answer any legal questions you may have on it.

I don't have a strong feeling one way or the other.

So I think it's a great idea.

Um, just from the standpoint of um it kind of gives us a little uh advanced notice.

This is this is a topic, and that way we could even do maybe a little bit of our own research as well and prep for versus just kind of being okay.

It's on the agenda, you know, you got a couple of days to look and move on.

So I'm in support of it.

Curtis, anything you'd like to add?

In speaking with uh clerks from other states and other cities, uh, this is deemed the best practice among other councils.

I don't know if you've ever heard anything like this from NLC meetings or anything, but uh from the in the clerk world, it is considered best practice.

And how far in advance would this be to occur before an item going on an agenda?

That's actually addressed, Councilman Green.

If I can find it right here, 72 hours, which is basically what we need for any agenda item.

Okay, thanks.

I I don't have any problem with it.

As long as there's not three councilmen visited or something.

Uh I don't see any problem with it.

And I have to Curtis's statement.

Um I have heard from other cities that that's how they they do it.

Um there's a procedure of things get placed on there.

So again, I don't have a strong feeling either way.

So I'm just trying to think of any drawback that could come from this.

And um I don't see it.

I guess I should scoot up to the microphone.

I have a big mouth, so fine.

Um I I don't I don't really see it happening with this council, but I don't know what the future councils are going to look like.

Um the only thing, and I'm assuming it can be changed in the future.

The only thing I would not want to see would be you know some counselor at odds with other counselors and they're forgetting to put anything on or an area getting neglected because counselors were at odds with each other and couldn't get a quorum, if you will, to be able to add something to the agenda.

If I could speak to your concerns, uh counselor green.

The first would be since it's a procedural decision made by the body, it could be changed by a majority vote.

Uh there is a specific provision in there also to suspend it.

Uh, that would require two-thirds, which in this case would be four out of the five members.

So there are uh provisions in there to to your point that could that this could be changed.

Fantastic.

That's a great point, though.

Just devil's advocate here, not the devil.

I I don't have a problem with um it being approved really by two other, I mean, because it for anything to happen, it has to be approved by the council anyway.

I guess my concern is like if we have 72 hours and there's something that you want on the next um agenda, and people get busy, sometimes people don't even look at their packet until the day of or the day before.

Or you know what I mean?

I wonder if if we should do a vote on like denying it, and if you don't hear from the counselors, then that's like an approval for it to be on.

I mean, I don't know.

I think you're it would be sent out in an email to us, correct?

Yes, okay, so it wouldn't be buried.

Yeah, it wouldn't like being buried in an agenda.

Right, it would be on the agenda.

Okay, okay.

That's what yeah, okay.

That makes me feel because you using councilman green's example.

So if this was in place, there would have been an email gone out as soon as I because he only sent it to me.

And so probably this week, because I immediately acknowledged it, and then I sent him and said staff's gonna look at the code and be prepared to discuss this.

I notified Curtis, and Curtis would immediately this week sent something out and said councilman Green is requested to look at, and we'd come up with whatever the zoning, whatever the uh sign code is for the city.

He wants to discuss, and then he I would put in the we'd attach the email that said this is what he wants to talk about.

So Lisa's councilman Pickle said you have an idea because he councilman Green went out and actually was driving around looking at the new development and noticed some questions he has about signage, and that's what prompted this.

I I'd be totally fine with that then.

I guess I was just afraid because we're all so busy and we have so much coming at us.

I didn't want to get in buried, you know what I mean?

And then people are like, okay, they didn't make the agenda, it's people might like it.

What's that?

Well, I can tell you this.

I mean, Curtis is really good, and so is Lori.

That if we haven't heard from the council members in a reasonable time, you get a follow-up.

Yeah, definitely.

Okay.

Sorry to put you on spot, Councilman Green.

Pre-conclusions about his agenda item.

All right.

Do you have a motion?

Yeah, I say I'll make a motion to approve the uh resolution 1753.

I'll take that.

Thank you.

Roll calling approval one of us going to effect.

Uh immediately.

It's upon passage, it's a resolution, so you have the right to set the policies so it would go to effect as of tonight.

Copy that.

Sure, your item would be first.

If it's approved by two, yes.

Yes.

Now we know.

No, it seems like that.

That one was a grandfather then, so you'll be able to do that.

So happy that's all right.

Item B is consideration, discussion, and possible approval of previously tabled item, consideration, discussion, and possible approval of noise ordinance, Matt.

Consideration, discussion, and possible approval of noise ordinance, Matt.

Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council, Mr.

Spurgeon.

So at the last meeting, um, this item was brought before you where the Brooklyn Arrow Across Club is requesting a noise ordinance waiver for a 24-hour cross tournament that they want to hold on August 8th and 9th.

And pre-request it was tabled so we could hold a public meeting.

So we mailed out 1,046 invites to a public meeting on July 1st at Neist Park Community Center.

We had two people show up, and they were both in favor.

So we're just asking for the noise ordinance waiver for their tournament.

Okay.

And now that was a lot of work.

That I think I really really appreciate you doing that.

And I think by doing that and sending out letters, it's going to save us a lot of phone calls when it actually happens.

So I will make a motion to approve the noise ordinance um waiver.

So thank you for doing that.

Yep, absolutely.

Thank you.

I will second that motion.

Because as soon as we didn't do that, we would have a lot of calls.

All right, consideration discussion and possible approval of and authorization to execute amendment one to the agreement of professional consultant services with Kim Lee Horn.

Charlie Bright.

Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council members, Mr.

Spurgeon.

My name is Charlie Brighton, director of engineering construction.

Before you tonight is an amendment with an agreement with Kimley Horn, um, really focused on the 20th and Hillside intersection that we have.

I know uh Adams Creek Town Center is being developed and grown.

Even before it was developed, we had some concerns from citizens expressed about traffic, not all the time, but in those peak hours when the commercial developments will be heaviest in the spring going to Lowe's when landscaping's busy.

At those times we'd have some backup at that intersection, sometimes to the point that backs up all the way at Kenosha.

So we had citizens bring up those concerns.

They only got highlighted when the development that is being built right now is getting um increased.

Um then I know uh previous vice mayor uh Gillespie had asked us to look into it, um, and I know Mr.

Spurgeon's brought up his concerns with it too, asked us to look into it.

So earlier this year, the governing body approved a contract with Kenley Horn, which was to look at conceptual options of what we can do there.

Um staff has decided what we're recommending going forward in the contract tonight is to move forward with that final design to amend their contract to move forward to the final design.

Um what we looked at was a few different options.

Um we looked at bit we looked at adding a roundabout, which was the original quest from the previous vice mayor.

Um I will say a roundabout does improve the situation, but it does not fix it during its busiest times.

More importantly, it'd be incredibly difficult and incredibly expensive, and that's just kind of a general rule when you're trying to fit a roundabout into an already developed area.

Um the utilities aren't the all the utilities that are in the area, don't accommodate a roundabout the parking lots around the facility don't accommodate a roundabout, so we'd be taking up parking lot space, we'd be moving all utilities.

Um so we we tossed out a roundabout as a good idea there.

Typically, if we want to put a roundabout in, it needs to be planned on the front end.

It's really really hard to retrofit.

Um after that, we looked at leaving the intersection the way it is and just putting a signalized intersection up.

Um, and then we looked at doing, and the reason we looked at that is because maybe we could do something a little bit faster and quicker and get to some improvements quick.

Um, and maybe it solves the problem.

And then we looked at doing geometric improvements, actually adding pavement and lanes and doing a signalized intersection.

Ultimately, what we decided is that a signalized intersection without any geometric geometric improvements does improve the situation.

It significantly reduces the delay times and significantly reduces the cue space of how much cars are backing up towards Kenosha.

Um but it gets a lot better if we do the geometric improvements, and that's kind of what you see over on the right side there.

Um without the geometric improvements, the 95 percentile, meaning when the it's at its busiest time, you still get a cue space of about 500 feet, which means cars are backing up 500 feet towards Kenosha.

Um but if we do the geometric improvements and add the signal, that cue space only goes to 120 feet, which means you're actually about only backing up about six to seven cars at a time.

Um so staff was recommending and planning on moving forward with doing geometric improvements if you can go to the next slide.

Um staff is recommending for is actually doing geometric improvements at the intersection and adding a signalized intersection.

Um, what you see in the dark gray there would kind of be new pavement or adjusted pavement on top of what's out there today, and then adding a signalized intersection.

Okay, um, so money for this was included in the 2026 bond.

Um, we may look for other funding mechanisms to get there faster and pay ourselves back or something because uh it might be a while before we can actually sell those funds, but we know it's a more urgent issue, so we're gonna try to one get the design done as quick as possible, and then we'll look at other funding opportunities so we can get the improvements done.

Yeah, because it's only gonna get more crowded in that area.

So we have the right-of-way that's needed.

Um yes, I think we do on every side except the new side where it's being developed currently in the northeast corner.

Um upon this approval, we'll reach out to that team because I the good news is I don't think the pad or anything on that front corner is being developed just yet.

So we'll reach out and work with them and get the space we need before they start designing some improvements in that inner that corner.

We may need a little bit from Lowe's as well, but I'm not too worried about it.

We'll it's beneficial for the new part.

Yeah.

The the challenge here, not getting too much of the nuance.

The challenge here is the north leg of that is not actually right-of-way.

That's a mutual access agreement and is still property owned by the two developers.

Um we may work with them and turn that into right-away just so we can improve it a little bit more.

Okay.

But happy to answer any other questions, but we're recommending approval of the amendment to the contract.

So the west side, is that being widened, or is it just restructuring the lanes that are currently there?

Going to the west, you already have four lanes, so we're not talking about adding any lanes or pavement.

Um, it's just kind of restructuring the striping and how they would affect each other because now you have more lanes on the other side and such.

Um for the most part, it's not a width issue, it's more of a striping issue and a uh through lane issue going to the north.

Sure.

So I mean that there's delays at all four legs, but your biggest delay and the biggest concerns right now is that south leg and it backing up to Kenosha Street, and this will address that issue.

Okay, any further discussion?

I'll make a motion to approve um and execute amendment one to the agreement uh for the consultant services.

Somebody will have to tell uh Senator Gillespie that we didn't put in her roundabout.

I think she's already over.

Probably watching.

Yeah.

We've had a we had a previous discussion about how that was not going to work.

It would take up so much area.

It was gonna take up a lot of space.

Yeah, it was not feasible.

Um or affordable in any way, shape, or form.

Um okay, discussion and possible approval of and authorization to execute a construction variance for Project Sam.

Uh good evening again, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council members, and Mr.

Spurgeon.

My name's Charlie Bright, Director of Engineering Construction.

Um before you tonight is a request similar to what on Adams Creek Town Center, how that contractor asked for a noise variance request when they were pouring concrete for their pads.

Um I think that was a few months ago.

I came here and asked on their behalf.

This really isn't a staff request or anything, it's a request from the developer at Project Sam, which is along College Street on the south side of college, um, west of 23rd or county line.

Um Project Sam is going on, um, it's obviously a really large site with a really large pad to a building and a lot of improvements.

Um they are working on their concrete improvements currently, and uh they're asking for noise exemptions to pour their concrete at 1 a.m.

The reason they are asking for this is because the pad is so large, there's a lot of concrete to pour, and you're in a hundred degree weather days, you cannot pour concrete when it gets that hot because you can't finish it in time.

So they want to pour at night so they can finish it early in the morning and be done so the concrete can cure.

I will say logistically, I'm not for or against it.

This is their request.

I will say logistically, they cannot pour concrete in the heat of the day when it's that hot.

Um so it is a real concern.

Um I for them to move forward with their project, like any job or road or highway job that happens, like we're and you're in the heat of the summer right here, they're gonna pour early in the morning like that.

But our ordinances say they can't pour before 7 a.m.

So they're here asking for an exemption.

When I have not seen it at 1 a.m.

I do know that our ordinance is seven, and sometimes they're out there at 4 a.m.

because I've had to call call that in multiple times.

So that would be four weeks of Monday through Saturday backup beeping at one in the morning.

No, yes and no.

So one, 1 a.m.

is early.

Um, the reason being is this is such a huge site, they're pouring a lot of concrete.

So they need the time.

Um, but their request is for four weeks, but only being allowed to do it twice a week.

Um so they'll prep one day um and then pour and then finish it, and then they'll go prep another day.

So they won't pour back to back nights over and over.

They're asking for two nights a week for four weeks, is what they're requesting.

Okay.

Can we pull that up on a map?

Or did you give us a map on the I don't think I did.

I they asked for this Thursday afternoon, and we put this on the agenda as fast as possible at their request.

Um did you get two other directors to agree with you?

Here we go.

I have no comment.

Uh College Street and County lines.

So what I'm sure your your head's going.

Um there is not much residential around them.

The closest residential is the north side directly across the street.

There are a few homes there.

So they would be the most affected in the scenario.

Could we reach out to them and look kind of like we did with the 24 hour?

Yeah.

And just kind of give them a heads up and yeah, if it passes, I will make sure the contract, I'll make sure my team follows up.

I will make sure the contractor engages with them too.

Or is the building a concrete port at the end of the day?

Approximately where the mouse is, I believe.

Right there.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm here on behalf of the drawn contractor.

Sorry, I was not aware that he was here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So we have flyers ready that we'll come out.

We have flyers ready that we'll give the residents across the street from East College a 24 hour notice before we commence a 1 a.m.

concrete pour.

Oh, yeah.

What is your name, sir?

I'm Kate Snodgrass with Gordon Highlander.

Okay.

Do we have anyone sign up to speak against it?

Um we do not.

I I have gotten a plethora of uh comments from the neighbors already because they've already been pouring, or not necessarily pouring, they've already been beginning work prior to 7 a.m.

Um that's something that I that's an end to the city staff to have code enforcement address them about that because unfortunately they have they've already been violating that 7 a.m.

rule.

We have discussed that with their team since then, and I know they've worked uh be in compliance now, but they are asking for the formal variance for a time period.

They're not gonna be very happy now when we let them know you're going to do it at one o'clock if you've already been doing it too early.

Yeah, they're not gonna be very happy with that.

Yeah.

And when would this start?

Tomorrow morning.

Uh we moved it to Friday morning because last time they told me tomorrow morning.

We we didn't want to give them do it without notice.

We want to at least give them a couple days of notice, and we'll start Friday morning at 1 a.m.

Okay.

So what days a week would it be?

I mean, are they gonna have to be people gonna be getting up and going to work?

Will they always be on Fridays?

Or it just depends on the weather.

Yeah, and the past couple months it's hit us hard out on the project and push us back in the schedule.

But the residents and the city will know well in advance before we do it that week.

And we anticipate the week before to give you guys a heads up for the next week.

So, what have you been doing early that the neighbors can hear now?

Is that louder than what the concrete's gonna be?

I can't promise the concrete's not gonna be loud, but um one thing I can promise is the lights that we're gonna have is gonna be bright, but after coordinating with our uh LIFCO, our concrete contractor, they promised that they won't not have any lights pouring directly at the residents' houses.

So they'd be facing more east and south.

Yes, sir.

Kind of like what they described as a football field.

So counselor Green, can you share with us what the residents have?

Uh they were just they were voicing their concerns because work was being started um prior to 7 a.m.

and the the noise.

And I can't remember where all the the messages are on my phone, but um that was the main concern, and then the additional, which we knew there's gonna be additional traffic from you know dump trucks and big trucks coming up and down colleges was brought up when the project first came online.

If I may, I will say we've also staff have gotten complaints about trucks going out 14th and 15th.

We've talked to the contractors about not using them to keep um vehicles out of the residential areas, but we've also as a traffic committee have talked about it, and we're probably gonna put up signage in the future um with a recommendation going, but talk about permanent signs in the future going in there to take commercial traffic out of the residential area to the board.

So some of those concerns we are working to address separately though.

And we're coordinating that as we speak with deliveries on the site as well.

How often will we be notifying them?

At least 24 hours.

I I want to give them at least 48 at possible.

Yeah, 48.

So on the letters that you'll be sending out, they'll you'll leave, you'll have a contact number for your business for them to call.

That's correct.

And then will there also be a city number for them to call?

Can they we'll coordinate to our construction administrator also gets us contact information on it?

Currently it's just a letter from them, but I'll make sure my staff talks to the folks as well.

If I call at 1 a.m.

you're getting calls at 1 a.m.

You're even called at 105 a.m.

And that number will be our on-site superintendent who will be managing the concrete pour.

And I know I'm gonna get this question, so I'm just gonna throw it out there.

And I and I understand the concept, but I want to get it on the record.

I understand it's a large pour.

Um, but is there an option of doing several smaller pours so you don't have to start at 1 a.m.?

There is that option.

Um it's gonna extend our schedule and it's gonna extend those residents have to deal with concrete trucks longer than doing it at 1 a.m.

Um our anticipation is to be done pouring by 7 a.m.

if we start at 1, so by the time they're up and going about their day, they don't have to worry about trucks.

I won't speak for them in their job site, but I'll speak for our projects.

For example, the amount of concrete and the heat when you're getting 100 degree days that you can pour between 7 a.m.

to the time it gets hot is very very little.

So it would take you a long time for the amount that they're gonna pour.

It would take you a long time to do it that long.

And the amount of current amount of cruise we're gonna have on the site, it's just a lot safer for them for heat related illnesses as well.

Well, I'm just wondering too if um the residents that they won't have the concrete trucks to have to mess with during the day if that may be a selling point for them to let them do it at one in the morning.

You know what I'm saying?

Like I don't know.

I'm not getting the phone calls in the morning, so like I'm kind of listening out.

I'm like, uh, you know.

But no one signed up today to talk against this mayor.

No.

The progress in getting the project done.

Well, as council knows if I can't add, just for the the builder's representative, there's been a lot of change in that area.

And so the residents have a legitimate right beyond you being here about concern, the changes that are happening there with one of the other important projects that's happening to the further west, and then uh your great project is going to happen, and then we're gonna turn around and we're eventually going to widen that road.

And so there's a lot, and so if you know, on behalf of the council and myself, if you could just remain in compliance with those time frames, that would cut down on the concerns that the the council members receive and help us uh support the you know the the uh the development that's happening, especially since they're really gonna be inconvenienced for over the probably the next 18 months.

Yes, sir.

And I I completely agree, and our main objective is be safe and be good neighbors.

Yeah.

Okay.

Any further discussion or questions?

Entertain a motion.

I'll make a motion.

Yeah.

Uh that we approve the help me out here.

Variants.

Variants, thank you.

I'll second it.

And don't send the calls my way.

They're all going to you, Councillor Pickle.

Thank you, guys.

It just would have been easier if you would have already followed the bulls.

Right.

You know what I'm saying?

I just would just keep that in your hat next for next time.

Yes, ma'am.

All right.

Item E is consideration discussion and possible approval of PUD2825-2026.

Good evening, good mayor.

PUD 2825-2026 and BAZ 2901-2026 involve a 2.53 acre parcel located one quarter mile north of Kenosha Street or 71st Street, one-third mile west of Aspen Avenue or 145th East East Avenue.

The applicant is requesting the underlying zoning be changed from RS single family residential to RMF residential multifamily.

This request is proposing to change the zoning on this property from RS single family residential to RMF residential multifamily with PUD 2825-2026.

The applicant is proposing a one-lot one-block multifamily development comprised of three-bedroom townhomes with attached garages and a maximum of 29 units as proposed.

RMF zoning is allowed in comprehensive plan level three.

The proposed development will meet the requirements of RMF zoning, except where modified by the PUD.

Access to the proposed development will be provided along West Oakland Place and North Elder Place.

Let's run the comprehensive plan and zoning zoning land uses are as followed.

To the north is level three planning or comprehensive plan designation and level six.

The zoning is RMF with a PUD 11 116 and IL Industrial Light.

The current uses are a senior living facility, and to the east of that is a prefabrication concrete business.

To the east is comprehensive plan level three.

The zoning is RSP with PUD 318.

The current use is single family residential.

To the south is level three, the zoning is RSP with PUD 318.

The current use is single family residential.

To the west is levels two and level six.

The zoning is RSC, CH with PUD 116, and the current uses are single family residential and a mini storage.

The PUD was initially brought before the planning commission on May 28th, 26th, where the item was tabled to allow for the applicant to submit the rezoning request and a new notice to be sent out.

In their meeting of June 25th, 2026, the planning commission recommended approval for one vote of PUD 2825-2026 and BAZ 2901-2026 per staff recommendations, which include the following conditions.

One specific amenities and features be listed in the PUD to justify qualifying the detention pond as an active open space.

Two, correcting landscape buffer to landscape edge as marked on pages four and six, and three development area A standards language swap for lot area and PUD minimum footage or frontage along North Elder Place and West Oakland Place on page five.

At this meeting, three citizens spoke during the public hearing session, and staff read two additional public comments that had been sent by email.

Residents' concerns include increased traffic and physical wear on Elder Place on street parking, debris and runoff from the property during construction and increased density of the site compared to the single family residential developments on three sides of the property.

Per staff recommendations, we recommend you approve PUD 2825-2026 and BAZ 2901-2026 with the above list uh conditions being met, and there's a representative for the property owner here to address any questions or concerns you may have.

Leo uh Seymour.

Okay, and then we have Marty Rhodes.

Mr.

Mr.

Rhodes.

Martin.

Sorry.

Nope.

Nope.

Never I got it.

Need a break.

Wouldn't be bad.

I'm Marty the Marine.

I've been here before, and I want to thank you for one thing before I start.

Thank you for the honor that you gave me and 11 other veterans in the last parade that we had here just recently for all the veterans.

God bless you.

Separat.

Okay.

I'm here to uh talk to you about some of the conditions that we are worried about at the umhouse edition in our area.

One is we just got through with a horror story with the monster that was built next to our apartment house, which held which houses uh 45 people of elderly, and it was a monster.

We had enough trouble now.

We're that's behind us.

We want to talk to the builder about constructing a six-foot trash barrier around the property for the we get 10 cars a day out of our place.

The cement plus company back there has an equal of 140 a week.

That's kind of hard.

From our uh other place that we have there, the housing, the two uh bedroom houses behind.

Uh I would say 15 a day.

So we're worried about that.

If we can get the guy to do that, that would help because I've got 194 and a 92-year-old in there, and we don't have anybody for a kid, a rake to use for those people.

And all right, the next one is uh we want a good contact with someone from Bricktown that we can talk to because we don't get anything there.

You arrested three people over there at the last one, and one of them struck a broken arrow employee.

And uh we don't want any more of that.

We want speed signs because when they go to lunch from next door, it's up to 60 miles an hour on going to lunch up there.

The city has backed us up and they got three for three taken care of and they're gone.

All right, I'm gonna shorten this up.

We would like for the the code for the for the building of that area to be changed from commercial to residential.

Because golly Moses we have more residential in that area than a concrete place next door to our houses.

Uh the change is the city code, and uh that's what I'm gonna say is simplify.

I'm through.

God bless you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you for your service.

Mayor, if I may, at your discretion.

If you want to read off some of the questions or concerns that Leo had.

Oh, yes.

Uh he put uh gated question mark, adult adult only, leasing or selling uh question mark, noise.

Thank you, sir.

Noise question mark one form six eleven, six-even.

I'm not sure what that I don't remember what that one was.

Yeah, it's a couple after six seven that is not late task.

Yeah, no, it wasn't for him, it was for yeah.

This was the other gentleman that didn't come.

Um which the gated, of course, would probably go along with what Marty was requesting at the fencing around the property.

So for clarification, Marty was asking for a temporary six-foot fence that was wrapped in black during construction to contain all the debris and trash.

Yeah, got it.

And that question is they're wondering if this uh project is a gated project.

Uh he wanted to know if only if it was only adults who were allowed to live there, and if they were leasing or renting, okay.

So those are some of their questions.

Yeah, okay.

And I think one of their concerns too was they wanted to make sure that the dust was taken care of, and we told them that there were things in place to take care of that as well.

And then as far as the the street itself, there was concerns about that because it's not it's not a through street, it's not yeah, it's a commercial, it's zoned commercial, but there's residential all around it, and it's not so there are several concerns pertaining to this area as far as uh traffic vehicles parking on it.

Um a lot of those were discussed last week at our traffic control committee, so we will be making recommendations to the city manager to address some of those, including a uh traffic uh signal or impact analysis at 71st and elder.

Um but earlier today I told Marty that Street and Stormwater would put up a speed limit sign on Oakland Place so they know what the speed limit is.

And then what about the concern about the semi-trucks?

So that again is what we discussed.

Um Marty gave me additional information today that those semi-trucks are belong to Walmart, so Walmart will not let allow them to park in their parking lot, so they park on the street until they're allowed to make their deliveries to Walmart.

So for the first for the time being, we are gonna reach out to the businesses in the area, which are Dollar General, the UPS store, and Walmart to see if we can curb this issue and get those trucks off the road before we have to take additional measures.

Okay.

I got the recommendation from the traffic committee for a number of items.

That's why I wanted to send a shout out to them because I get these about once a month, and they they do a lot of work, they analyze and go through every one of these, and that's what it basically said.

They're gonna try to work with the businesses to have them find another location without having uh to take further measures, which is implementation of uh no parking.

Um so actually, stats on this, and I was I appreciate that report we got.

These two citizens who spoke on I I was confused.

There was a lot of stuff and things.

Um were they okay with the development just with guidelines or were they opposing it?

They are they they marked that they were in opposition, but they just marked that they were in opposition, but they more or less had questions about the development and in the process of it.

No, not opposed to the file they're in favor of it.

Okay, yeah, and um I also talked to uh the bricktown hoa, and they're fine with the development.

They're it's the street that they're concerned about too with the 18 wheelers.

Um there's a gated community there, they're fine with the development.

Again, it's just the street concerns that they're concerned about.

Um, and then of course, um uh Marty with the um assistant, they're not really assisted living, senior living, yeah, senior living um because they're on their own, and they're fine with the development too.

So like everyone's fine with the development, that's not really the issue, but they kind of want to get this other it the other item definitely needs to be taken care of before they kind of want to add one more thing in with all of that.

So I they're fine with the development.

Thank you.

Do you want to hear from the applicant at all?

Sure.

Let's hear from the applicant.

He's like they're not my team leaders.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Mike Thetford with WAS Design Collective.

I concur with Rocky's um report.

Um generally, you know, it's a PUD, it's townhomes, 29.

You know, we're asking for a rezone to RMF.

However, we're putting a cap on the number of units at 29.

Um I think doing the math last time at Planning Commission, we were talking about roughly half of that could be developed as it is.

So we're really talking about a net of maybe 15 residents.

So concerning everything else around the site, that kind of caught us by surprise at the time.

There's a lot.

Yeah.

Well, it kind of just developed over the past like literally three weeks.

Like honestly, it just started happening.

Right.

Which is all understandable.

Um but the developer is here to answer any questions as well concerning construction, what happens during construction.

Everything's gonna be in con compliance with all the engineering requirements, DEQ, all that stuff.

So I guess if you had any questions specific to the PUD, maybe I can answer them.

Yeah.

What's the dark green space in the lower right corner?

Uh that is the that is detention.

Okay and this is conceptual, mind you.

Right.

Um we're designating that that as active recreation.

And you know, that could be a number of things, but generally it could be just seasonal uh practice play area.

We can't put equipment in there, permanent equipment because it's detention.

Um but you know, we were asked to kind of define that, and and that's generally what the owner has talked about different things as well, like dog park or whatever.

They talk about that, but feasibility and you know how that works, that's gonna be kind of as it as it's developed.

Um they kind of want to leave that open to now, you know, to develop that later on.

But they're committed to making that active recreation.

So I do remember one other thing that they requested too is they would they would like to have a contact name or something like maybe if you're foreman or whatever um on the job site so they could contact them.

If not, Marty's gonna be over there every single day.

I talked about it.

I'm sure they're every single day.

They'll get to know them.

Okay.

Um I think that during the per, you know, when the building permits pulled and as site is developed.

They wouldn't want to call me, I don't think.

Um and then um I think one of their buttons I explained it to them the right way.

So um the driveway that goes this way goes into Bricktown and it lines up to with that neighborhood there.

Um the assisted the senior living places where this driveway goes out, and there's like a little um island or a median or whatever, um, and it goes out that direction.

I think they were concerned about there's some I think there's some uh trees that are there that some of the residents park under because I guess it's easier for them to park there.

Um they were concerned about the trees if they were gonna come down or not.

I don't know if you're if you've got that far yet or not.

We you know we're pretty limited on existing trees out there, and I I can't say that there's gonna be any left with the development, but um because it's you know pretty yeah, yeah, there's not much space to and that is right of way too yeah, so yeah, and they're right on yeah, they're right next to the cart.

You might have said and I just uh missed it, but uh for one thing, are they are they rental or are they gonna be sold individually?

These are rental.

Okay.

Uh parking, do they have they have a parking place in front of each one?

Uh yes, we well, it's not really delineated on there, but the middle part of the the internal part of the site um is gonna be parking and driveways.

So and this exceeds the parking requirements for the density so they will have a place to park their vehicles on site, correct.

And that's like a vehicle parked in front of each one that's going there now, yes.

One in the garage, one on the driveway, and then we have some others scattered throughout the site.

I think it's quite one of his questions too.

Will it be gated or not gated?

No.

Okay.

Not at this time.

Okay.

Well, we explained to him.

We explained to him that we do have the city has requirements.

The contractor to keep the dust down and the trash too.

We tell them if you know if it got trash, you and it came over there.

And call Nicole that we have things in place too to let you know.

Yeah.

All right.

It'll be the safest site you've ever worked on.

Because Marty will keep an eye on it.

Oh, yeah.

So I don't think I'll have any.

Yes.

Okay.

Yeah.

So all right.

Any further questions or discussion?

You look like you want to talk.

I would love to make a motion.

So we can move forward with this.

Okay.

All right.

I'll make a motion that we approve it and we carry on with the meeting.

Okay.

You have a motion and a second.

Roll call.

All righty.

All right.

Uh nine AF consideration discussion of possible approval of BAZ 2875-2026.

Rocky.

BAZ 2875-2026 as a request to change the zoning designation on 1.89 acres from IL industrial light to CH commercial heavy.

The property is located one-eighth mile south of Houston Street or 81st Street, east of 9th Street or 177th East Avenue or Lin Lane Road, and is platted as lots four and five, block one of Lynn Lane Plaza East.

This property was developed as a multi-tenant office warehouse facility with IL zoning.

The applicant is requesting to rezone the lot to CH in order to accommodate additional uses such as general personal services and fitness and recreation sports centers.

Office warehouses are also a permitted use by the right by right in CH zoning.

So the change in zoning will not affect existing or future office warehouse tenants.

This property meets all of the dimensional re uh standards for the CH zoning district.

Planning Commission expressed concerns with the increased parking requirements that would accompany the change in use.

The applicant stated that they were aware of the parking requirements and development would be limited by the amount of parking currently available.

This property is designated as level 6 in the comprehensive plan and requests CH zoning is in accordance with that designation.

During the meeting held on June 25th, 2026, Planning Commission recommended approval 5.0 of BAZ 2875-2026 per staff recommendations.

Staff recommended approval and that plan A being waived since the property is already platted.

During the public comment period, staff read an emailed public comment expressing concerns with the available availability of parking.

Staff recommends approval of BAZ 2875-2026 for planning commission and staff recommendations.

Okay.

So I'll have the resident uh Dan Adams.

And the papers that I just passed out are from him.

Good evening, uh counselors.

And uh my name is Daniel Adams and I live at 8300 South, 225th East Avenue, Broken Arrow.

And been a broken arrow residence since 1972.

We own property on the north and south sides of the subject property being discussed.

Our concern is that there will not be adequate parking for heavy commercial activities.

We own and manage seven office warehouse projects in Broken Arrow and Tulsa with spaces from a thousand to ten thousand square feet, which which we lease.

So I understand tenant parking needs.

I mean small users.

From our experience, there is not there was not enough parking currently to accommodate the demand for this type of small unit tenant.

Therefore, there would definitely not be enough parking for heavy commercial with customers coming and going or dance studio events.

There can be no parking in the front of the building because there's a mutual easement access music there.

As the buildings were constructed near the mutual access uh easement.

Because of this, tenants and customers will sometimes be parking on our property.

That's the main thing we're concerned about.

Limited parking there.

There'll be parking on our property on our property.

We've got uh on the south side, we got tenants on the north side, it's just vacant land.

And I just wanted to um I gave everybody a can uh exhibit A, which talks about uh recreational entertainment type stuff.

Uh this is for CH.

One parking per 250 feet, and then you get down here to uh industrial manufacturing light, one parking for 1,500 feet.

So I don't know exactly how many parking spaces they have.

I do know from my past experience that uh when they built this thing, they did not build enough parking to accommodate the type of tenants that there that we they would that would want to reside or want to occupy their spaces.

So I that the biggest the biggest concern, I'm not concerned about the CH change in the zoning, but there's a CH zoning across the street, but it's a strip center, it's got lots of parking, it's got parking up in front and got parking on the other side.

So uh but parking is definitely an issue, and I don't I don't want to have a problem with them parking on our property and interfering with our tenants and things.

So that is then I showed another another exhibit B was just showed uh the subject property, and then on the top it showed the the vacant land we own, and then down below it shows the the occupied land that we own.

So thank you.

And uh Mr.

Adams, real quick.

So your your property is to the south of this and north.

Oh, so you're on okay, both sides.

Right.

Okay.

Is something currently being built to the north?

No, there's nothing.

Uh building the buildings now.

Okay, so this is the property that's already that's already been built.

It's been built, yeah.

It hasn't been occupied by the wall size.

Okay.

Okay.

That's all right.

That's what I was getting confused about.

I'm like, there is a building there right now, but okay.

It is okay.

Okay.

Thank you, sir.

What lot number is the one that we're looking at tonight.

Um five.

And he was saying he owns six and one.

Okay.

I thought he was wrong there.

Okay, so the applicant.

Yes, first.

Good evening.

My name's Luke Denai.

I'm broken air resident.

Uh representing CST properties.

Um we built 30 office warehouse units on this property.

Uh, once we started marketing the property, we realized the requests that we were getting were for uses that didn't comply with uh IL.

So we are requesting the zoning change so that we can open it up to more uses.

We do realize that there is a parking limitation on this property, and uh the uses would have to comply with parking requirements.

So we are aware of that.

Um most likely just a small handful of the warehouse units would be used for commercial use.

Most of them will probably still be used for uh office warehouse.

That is our intention, but we want to open it up to have some options uh for other uses.

I had uh person reach out that they said their dance studio was wanting to move there, and it was a competitive dance, and they wanted to move into that location.

And most likely that would be the primary commercial use in that space.

They're requesting 4,000 square feet.

Um I would think based on the kind of the rough numbers we've run so far, if they were to occupy that 4,000 square feet, that would probably max us out for our uh for that type of use and everything else would have to be office warehouse.

So can you speak to uh his concerns about parking there?

Because I mean, for instance, my daughter was in dance, and I know when they have titles, you know, the mom comes and the grandmas come and aunts come and the uncles come, and you know, um so yeah, what what is your parking plan for for that property for that kind of usage?

The um dance studio specifically has said that they're most most of their instruction will happen in the evenings when the rest of the uh office warehouse type uh use is usually not very busy.

dance and I know when they have titles you know the mom comes and the grandmas come and the aunts come and the uncles come and you know um so yeah what what is your parking plan for for that property for that kind of usage the um dance studio specifically has said that their most most of their instruction will happen in the evenings um when the rest of the uh office warehouse type uh use is usually not very busy um but for the most part when we count the numbers we think that they fit on the site uh I we would um do everything we can to prevent people from using other people's property for parking um and I'm not sure which measures we could take other than some signage but um that that's our intention and so since we have parking requirements and if the staff is is advising that we approve this so the knowing that it could not meet requirements so based on the uses those parking requirements have to fit that use so in this case the one per 250 square feet would have to be applied here for the use that they're talking about so what they have now would it does it meet that requirement for the commercial heavy yes maxed out but I don't I'm not sure he addressed your question about whether or not there'd be recitals so I don't oh I mean that was just in general yeah I think he was I don't want to speak for him but I think what he's alluding to is that those instructional classes are held at night so it becomes more of a shared parking right uh situation because the office warehouse people would not be occupying the building while instruction classes are going on for dance so do you already know what's going in those other ones to I'm I don't what you say and I get what what you mean there but I mean if we don't know what's going in there we don't necessarily know that there's not going to be other places open in the evening.

No we don't know what's going in there.

Uh we would work with the city on each use to make sure that we comply so the the dance studio going in though will take up all of your parking sounds like I don't know the exact calculations but I don't think so.

Okay.

I will add one more thing before we issue a certificate of occupancy we would have to make sure that they meet all those requirements.

Okay.

And so I understand that basically only a percentage would be able to be used for commercial versus industrial light.

If I could that means conceivably sorry conceivably you could approve the zoning and then we could still run the calculations and realize the dance studio doesn't comply further questions or concerns I think it's a really small area to go commercial and I get it the whole thing won't be but I don't know that's just my concern well I am one of those dance grandmas and you're right like we can fill up a parking lot just for just for practice yeah that's just take it on for practice because everybody comes yeah nobody else is making my motion would be to uh deny this request I don't know if it'll get a second but that would be my motion okay so and on on this Rocky just before we move on to the next one if things change with it he's able to come back before us is that correct he'd have to come back in a year with the same application or if he's if he came back with something substantially different than this application.

But currently right now it's already zoned industrial light so he would have to find uses that fit industrial light uses because the buildings are pretty much already completed.

Okay.

Still limited parking though.

Um but as he mentioned, when they went to market it, they did not find anybody that was willing to occupy their building as an industrial use.

They found more interest in it being uh with commercial uses.

So for them to fill up the space and occupy it, they will requested this rezoning change.

Okay.

All right, thank you.

Item 10 is preview ordinances.

10 A, consideration discussion on possible preview of an ordinance adding section 2-9 190 to Chapter 2 administrative administration.

Uh a minute, Trevor, I'm gonna let you handle that.

It's getting late.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.

Thank you, Mayor.

I'm happy to vice mayor, council, Mr.

Spurgeon.

Uh as you may know, the Treasury Department had ceased production of the penny.

And so in response to that, uh the Oklahoma House has passed what's called the Oklahoma Common Sense Act.

Basically requires the elimination of uh of the penny and procedures for rounding up cash payments to the nearest five or ten cents in accordance with specified rules of the statute.

And so ultimately we really don't have a choice in this.

It's a it's a state law that requires this, it just implements the state law.

Happy to answer any questions.

I could talk to you in detail about the rounding procedures if you'd like.

Um but uh I'll open it up for questions.

But for the record, can we just explain this?

Um I mean, and I get it.

Um everybody's not a political figure in involved, but uh let's just educate some folks tonight so we're clarifying what this is.

Sure, I was gonna mention this when we got to the ordinances because that's when it was going to be applied.

Um Trevor can back me up if I'm wrong, but uh state statute establishes a procedural process to adopt municipal ordinances establishing an emergency clause is one way.

So council had already voted on uh approved the rezoning for these, these just update the zoning map.

Staff recommends you adopt ordinance number 3924 and approve the subsequent emergency clause.

Do you need water?

I'll get you one if you need one.

I'm good, thanks.

Okay.

I'll make a motion.

Just here doing the people's business.

Appreciate you.

We appreciate you, Rocky.

Public servant.

All right.

Item B, discussion, uh consideration, discussion on possible approval.

Motion that we uh have emergency clause.

Sorry to interrupt roll call.

Okay.

Item C does have a uh residents wanting to speak, just wanting to give you guys a pause for just a second.

Yes, sir.

Oh got it.

Thank you.

Item C is consideration discussion and possible adoption of ordinance number 3925.

On January 6th, 2026, City Council reviewed and approved BAZ 2489 89-2025 to change the zoning on 24 almost 25 acres from A1 agricultural to CH commercial heavy and IL industrial light and PUD 2490-2025 for a planned unit development for American storage of BA.

The property is located west of the Creek Turnpike, east of North 37th Street or South 209th East Avenue, and north of East Houston Street or 81st Street.

Staff recommends you adopt ordinance number 3925 and approve the subsequent emergency clause.

We have uh Chuck Rowland signed up to speak.

I'll leave.

Okay, great.

Okay, Linda Montgomery.

And you're speaking in in support and in opposition.

Yeah.

Sort of.

Okay.

We just have questions.

Um kind of here for all the HOAs and in our area.

We're just an eighth of a mile from that location.

And we're not sure.

Is this a storage facility?

It says, but we don't know what type of storage it is.

Can we get more information on that?

Okay.

Go ahead.

Oh, I can't speak to what type of storage it is other than a source facility.

We haven't gotten to the engineering plans of that yet.

Um but I can tell you that along uh 209th Street is the commercial portion, and behind it will be the storage component component of it.

Okay, so they'll have commercial on the front.

Okay, so um so storage could also be data.

Could it be a data center, a mini data center?

Okay, and we we have a moratorium in place.

Big yes, yes, yes.

Well it can happen.

All the concerned residents will be very happy.

Yes, that's all we wanted to know.

But we're also curious why did it say governmental administrative hearings?

It was due, um it was in this uh therefore document, and it says the government due to the government hearings, um they needed to uh change the zoning or something due to it was not sure about that one.

I believe she's referring to the language in the ordinance itself.

Maybe Trevor can allude to that.

I'm not sure what the I'd have to look at what the notice was.

I'm not I'm not sure what you're you're referring to.

I got it on my phone.

That's okay.

And then the last question is why are they called declared an emergency?

We were all curious on that.

You must have stepped out.

We'd addressed it a little longer.

Oh, we did we just addressed that earlier, but you might not have been here whenever we discussed that.

That's okay, yeah.

So that's it.

Yeah.

State statute.

Uh there's two ways to um to make this rezoning effective.

Uh, one by state statute is to um declare an emergency clause, or the other is to publish it and wait approximately 30 days before it becomes effective.

So that's the only thing I'd add to that is uh when you're dealing with our zoning code, it is by definition a life health safety issue, and so uh it needs to take effect emerg immediately, and that's what the emergency clause does.

Otherwise, you'd have to go wait for 30 days and you don't have to publish the ordinance in full.

And so there is justification because of the nature of the ordinance.

And I'm just quickly looking over the ordinance.

I don't see where it talks about, but we'll look further into that about due to the government.

Maybe it's about our government, you know what it may happen to.

Okay, a series of governmental administrative hearings have been conducted.

So meaning like at the the council meetings, I think those are the hearings for government, right?

We're your local government, so that one yes we are.

Yes, okay.

All right.

Where are we at?

See, we need a motion.

You have a motion and the second on the second.

Okay, real call.

Okay.

Um item D, consideration discussion.

Oh entertain a motion to declare the motion.

I'll make a motion to um approve the emergency.

Item E discussion uh consideration discussion on possible adoption of ordinance number 3926.

On December 2nd, 2025, City Council reviewed and approved BAZ 2505-2025 to change the zoning on 99 and a half acres from AG Agricultural to IL Industrial Light for Arrow Forge.

The property is located one half mile north of Tucson Street or 121st Street and located on the south side of Florence Street or 111th Street and a quarter mile east of Olive Avenue or 129th East Avenue.

Staff recommends you adopt ordinance number 3926 and approve the subsequent emergency clause.

So moved.

Item F is the emergency clause.

Second Rockyana, who you made mad.

So to give you a little bit of insight.

Um the old zoning ordinance said that uh rezoning was subject to plating.

Well, that language did not transfer over to the new zoning ordinance.

So we had a proper owner reach out here recently where they had a recent rezoning and requested this information.

So this is just us getting caught up back to July 1st of 2025.

So this would be the last big batch of ordin uh preview ordinances, and then next council meeting will be the last big batch of ordinances.

Okay.

Um I didn't make the motion, I just seconded it.

I don't remember who made the motion.

I'll make the motion to accept.

Okay, real call.

Item G, consideration discussion on possible adoption of ordinance number 3927.

On July 14, 2025, the city council reviewed and approved BAZ 2238-2025.

Spurgeon without a doubt we can say our senior center is definitely the best senior center in the whole nation because out of a hundred women, they all said they did not have anything like that in their cities, and they are they're taking back so many things that our city has and implementing it in their city, which I feel like is what it's all about.
