Good afternoon.

Welcome to TMAPC meeting number 2965, Wednesday, July 15th, 2026.

I call this meeting to order.

Don't have a chairperson's report for director's report.

We'll recognize Susan Miller.

Hi, good afternoon.

So I don't have any cases to report.

Council hasn't met for a few weeks.

I did want to just mention a couple of key dates as we're planning for the separation of TMAPC into a city and county planning commission.

We know that today's Wednesday.

So Monday, the county, the Board of County Commissioners approve the resolution to dissolve TMAPC effective September 2nd.

The last TMAPC full meeting with cases from both the city and the county will be August 19th.

And then on September 2nd, we will have the last TMAPC meeting for the first maybe 15 minutes to meet to approve the minutes from the 19th.

And then we'll have the first city planning commission after that.

So there's a lot that we have to do.

Also the mayor will need to do appointments and then I can't really speak to that to the county side, but um.

So there's all of that that we're working on.

I just wanted to kind of throw out those dates so you had an idea and see if you had any questions.

Any questions for Susan?

Okay, thank you.

Um, we please read our rules.

Good afternoon.

Uh in order to conduct the public hearing in an orderly manner.

We ask you by the following rules.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And those minutes are approved.

Uh moving on to consent agenda item number two.

Would any planning commissioner like to move item two to the public hearing?

I'll entertain a motion.

Move to approve consent agenda item number two.

Second.

We have a motion by Commissioner Bullmash, a second by Commissioner Shivel for the approval of item two.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And that item is approved.

Item number three.

Good afternoon, Commission.

Item three is a city rezoning request.

It's for a property located at the northeast corner of East 11th Street and South Harvard Avenue.

It's roughly a 1.37 acre property, but approximately half or a little bit less is actually already zoned.

CH.

The properties currently owned by the University of Tulsa, and they've entered an agreement with someone to build a restaurant at this location, and they're asking to extend that CH zoning to the north along South Harvard Avenue to get the entire property within the commercial zoning designation.

It is a pretty suitable location for additional commercial zoning.

It's located adjacent to two arterial streets at a primary intersection.

East 11th Street has been outfitted with bike lanes.

It's also a slated future BRT route.

Lots of things to accommodate some additional development at this location.

The Tulsa Comprehensive Plan calls the property a regional center, which mirrors the designation assigned to the University of Tulsa to the west in anticipation of some complementary type uses occurring across South Harvard Avenue.

We found CH to be a consistent request within that regional center designation and matches what was already zone CH on the south.

And so we recommend approval.

Any questions for Nathan?

Thanks, sir.

Sure.

Is the applicant here?

Yep.

Mr.

Chairman Lou Reynolds, 2727 East 21st Street, and I represent the University of Tulsa.

I just wanted to go over some uh exhibits with you first to kind of set you in that place.

As Nathan said, we're the northeast corner of 11th and Harvard.

We're right across from the University of Tulsa, and you can kind of see where we are in the big picture.

The next one, please.

This is a little bit blown in, and you you can see how we fit into the neighborhood and such and uh and and see where we're there.

Indianapolis is on our east boundary, and Harvard's on our west, 11th's on our south.

Next, please.

Again, here's the comp plan we're recommended for regional center, and we're comply with that recommendation.

Next one, please.

This is the existing zoning map, and and we we just had a bad description when we filed this, and so our description covered all the property.

The south half of it is already zone CH.

And so and the north half is zoned RS3, and we're seeking to get that rezoned C rezon CH for restaurant.

Next one, please.

So here's a picture of the site, and this is a northeast corner of the site looking back to the east along 11th Street.

There's an empty commercial lot across from us.

It's in that CH zoning, too.

And next one, please.

This is our site from the northeast corner looking back to the west, and you can see TU and the Burger King on the southwest corner and and 11th Street, and these pictures were taken about 11 p.m.

last night.

Next one, please.

I'm sorry, 7 p.m.

last night.

Next one, we're they they rhyme anyway.

So uh this is the northeast corner, uh southeast corner of the property looking to the to the north along Indianapolis.

And you can see they're there we're standing right in front of a driveway, and then there's another driveway cut there, and these are the driveway cuts that we're gonna use for ingress and egress for the drive-through portion of this project.

Next one, please.

And this is the southwest corner looking back to the north along Harvard of the property and and the development.

Next picture, please.

And this is that northwest corner looking west along 11th Street.

So that's kind of the pictures and kind of frame the site.

Uh next one, please.

This we sent a letter out and we had about 40 some odd people we sent out.

We invited everybody within 300 feet to come to a neighborhood meeting last night, and the next one's just our sign-up sheet.

We had about 14 or 15 people came.

Understand we had a problem in that some people weren't able to get in the door at TU where we had the meeting.

Um, but and I've talked to one of the people on the phone today and explained them what all this was going to be.

So next one, please.

So this site's driven heavily by.

If you can shrink that up some, that blue is the city of Tulsa's regulatory floodplain.

And uh and and so what we've done is we've located this building right on the edge and outside of the regulatory floodplain.

It's uh approximate four thousand square foot building, and in the on the west, kind of in the middle of it, you can see a uh uh uh a patio area, and that's uh a uh screened in patio, so you'll kind of be able to enjoy and eat outside and not be not have bugs and things like that bothering you.

We'll have some outdoor seating uh on the outside of the restaurant to the west, and in that tree-in area, or the project will have a a six-foot high masonry wall around the perimeter at the residential side.

All of our trees will be at least 10 feet at the time of planning and three-inch caliper.

There'll be cut off lighting as you know our standards where we have but that uh residential property that lighting has can only be one foot candle at the property line so that'll be cut off we'll have one foot candle uh of light there and uh make sure I get all my notes out here and you see this drive through will operate off of uh Indianapolis when we come in and come out we've got approximate stacking for about 12 cars and it'll be it'll be coffee and grab and go food.

This restaurant is called Press and Plough they're a concept of the Oklahoma City area and there's there's one in Norman and there's a couple in in Edmund and one in Oklahoma City and it's basically a breakfast centric restaurant and we expect uh be open from about six in the morning to maybe eleven o'clock in the morning and uh and inside our our restaurant the 4000 square feet will be serving breakfast all morning and we'll have coffee to go in the morning and then we're gonna we're gonna close so we're uh we're just a just a breakfast restaurant uh I wanted to show you the next one this is a rendering of the building and see if you can get on that and blow that up real nice.

So this is a copy of the building the the building's one-story building our HVAC will be mounted up on the roof it'll be screened by that pitched roof uh this has been designed to match TU both kind of materials and look and TU has design approval of this building under the contract tu also has a right of first refusal on this property so that if it were to change hands it has but transferred's got to be approved by tu or we've got to buy the property back but we want to we want to protect this you has also put a a pretty specific list of uh covenants and restrictions on this property is what can be there again they they want to make sure if we set the sell this property it's gonna be be done in a way that we believe is helpful for everyone helpful the university and we'll have some control and we can get it back to keep it keep anything that we might not like happening and and of course you know as real estate people that cost the university we're not maximizing any property value when we're getting rights of first refusal and imposing covenants on what people can do and can do and how they do them and and that their design has to be subject to our approval so we're trying to do this in in as best of way as we believe not just kind of for ourselves but for the this area too and make this work for our our buyer this has been recommended for approval by your staff it complies with the comprehensive plan and I'd respectfully request you to prove it as uh requested and I'll answer any question you might have.

Thank you Mr.

Reynolds any questions for Mr.

Reynolds right now Jean?

We'll wait okay we do have a couple speakers we need to thank you yep first speaker uh Edric Clark.

Please give us your name and address hello I am Edri Clark.

I live on 839 South Indianapolis Avenue here in Tulsa.

I'm speaking behalf on myself as well as my parents in the second row.

We personally don't have any contention against the zoning but specifically the current design that was presented to us last night.

So just to give context um South Indianapolis Avenue especially during like peak uh rush hour times is used both by um the residents as well as non-residents so it's quite already a busy street and then when you take into account um to events from like graduation games and other stuff um we have like non residents who park on both sides of the street causing the street to end up becoming one lane um with the current design, if you could see on that bottom with the drive-ins specifically placed adjacent on um South Indianapolis Avenue.

It can end up causing um traffic to instead of just occurring during tea events, that'd become a daily occurrence in the morning.

Now, majority of residents use um that area to exit because of the light to make it easy.

So with the current design, it would cause greater traffic, but also possible congestion, which could cause you know delays leaving work or even like emergency services having difficulty entering into the neighborhood if there is a problem.

Um see.

I would like to also mention how um in the Norman location for um the business.

Um in Norman, it's located generally kind of far from OU campus.

And in this context, I believe it should be taken differently because to you it's right across as well as the fact that the business is right next to um the neighbors.

So I think uh the commission should take into account you know possible um traffic, but also that um us as the neighbors, we should be able to um be able to have uh a say and especially the design and how it could affect our life and the quality of life for the neighborhood as a whole.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um next speaker, Kennedy Ireland.

Hi, um is that on?

Yeah, you can hear me.

Yeah, okay.

My name is Kennedy Ireland.

I live at 827 South Indianapolis Avenue, which is across the street and halfway down the block.

Some things that their images do not show you is that Indianapolis Avenue is one block long, dead ends on eighth out uh and eighth street, and there's a yield sign at the end.

People do use this as a cut through from time to time when there is too much traffic at that light.

That brings a lot of traffic down our street.

It is in adding a drive-through that enters and exits onto Indianapolis Avenue, especially with the exit being on the other side of the entrance, is going to get people to move downward into our neighborhood.

And I don't think that any of that was taken into consideration.

I have a special needs son, there is another special needs child on my street.

We purchased that street because it was one block long because it didn't have commercial on it.

I'm not opposed to this restaurant.

I like the fact that it's local, I like a lot of the things about it, but the drive-thru specifically is what's being rezoned, and I believe that that is going to cause us a lot of grief in the neighborhood.

We were not consulted.

No one came around and talked to us.

They didn't even let us know what the plans were until last night at six o'clock in the morning.

I mean, six o'clock at night.

That's not enough time for us to even kind of let those those thoughts settle.

Um it's gonna change the nature of the residential area, turning it more into commercial and having more traffic.

As he had said earlier, um, emergency vehicles coming through, it's already so narrow.

If there is congestion there, how are they to get to us quickly?

I just think that it would be I think I I love the fact that they're investing in the neighborhood.

I love that fact, but entering and exiting on Indianapolis Avenue is gonna impact every single one of us.

That's that's all.

Okay.

Thank you, Ms.

Ireland.

That's all our speakers.

The applicant like to come back up.

Mr.

Chairman, if you will, uh we think that we'll use these existing curb cuts and and on that north drive, I'll request that city traffic engineering allow us to put a a no left turn sign on the in the street in the right-of-way, and if they'll do that, we'll pay for it and put one up there.

We don't think that there'll be that much of an issue.

We think most of our customers and things going in and out there are gonna be from neighborhood traffic and neighborhood people.

Uh and and kind of see that differently in terms of excess traffic and things.

I think we're about as light of a use as you can possibly get, being kind of just open in the morning, and uh we'll certainly miss uh a good section of of traffic for this restaurant thinks uh really good fit for what's going on here.

All of the restaurant is in the CH zone property.

So if you could park it, anything like this could exist and they can just do it by right.

All we's a really talking about what's up to the to the north to pick up that additional parking.

So there there's nothing there's nothing here that that's bothersome, if you will, that that's in that part.

So uh again, I think that again this complies with uh the comprehensive plan and we're very consistent with what's being zoned there.

It's very nice project, designed nicely.

Kind of what I think you want.

We've pushed it out against the street as much as we can and keeping it away from the uh the out of the regulatory floodplain.

Again, doing it like you want us to do it.

So I'll I s answer a question if anybody's got.

Yeah, Gene.

Yeah, hi, thanks.

I have a couple of questions.

One, um, is there a reason why the meeting with the neighbors was last night, not not a lot of time before today?

The holiday, the fourth of July and getting our schedules together and getting someone at TU, getting our architect together, getting our civil engineering together, it was because of the fourth of July.

We couldn't get our body together.

Okay.

Um, and then secondly, uh I get your point right.

The the bottom half of the restaurant is is is already TH zoning, but as you said, if you could park it, which you can't.

So, um I I I get the the point, but um is there any way to move the drive through to come off of Harvard?

Um I see the design obviously can't there's or even 11th, right?

Like that that seems to be the the neighbor objection and and it does look like it's very close to the intersection, a lot of moving parts coming and going left turn in, you know, people are coming from the east, they're gonna be turning right onto Indianapolis, left turning in, and people then drive through, they're gonna be turning right.

So it does seem like a bit congested.

Well, uh we don't believe so, but but we're too close to the intersection of left and Harvard to have any ingress and egress coming off of there.

And uh so and have ingress and egress.

Well, we don't we don't come off 11th, and w there's an existing driveway cut where that access is on Harvard, so we can use that, and then we have to go down to that far one up there to get one that complies with the code.

So this is this is just fitting in with our rules.

There's no way you can put the drive-thru on the portion, the northern portion of the building.

No, sir.

To come in and off of no sir.

And and we've we purposely always kept that all separated best we can to have walk through people coming on one side and drive through on the other, and not get those mixed up.

So, okay.

Any other questions for the applicant?

Thanks, sir.

Thank you.

We don't have any speakers, so we are in review.

Anyone want to discuss?

I'll start.

I I appreciate the the fact of to you, you know, doing something with the land the property.

I I I appreciate the fact that it was designed to meet the university and that the university is in in adding all these protections.

I'm a little troubled with you know the the neighbor complaints of traffic on on a residential street.

Uh the site is, you know, three-sided, um, three streets and the the heaviest use of traffic or one of the heaviest use of traffic is on the smallest streets.

I'm I'm just a little trouble with that, but I'm also not a traffic engineer.

Um, so I I just a little mixed feelings.

Yep.

Any else?

Motion.

I have a question.

Maybe this is for Nathan, but like you said, we're not traffic engineers.

Will this sort of thing be evaluated?

Because I I understand what you're saying and what the neighbors are saying that it um who's gonna decide if that's acceptable basically.

Um so it will it will depend as as Lou mentioned in his presentation.

There are some existing curb cuts that they intend to utilize.

Uh based on just this initial site plan, it does look like there's maybe some widening proposed of those curb cuts on the Indianapolis side.

Any of those changes would have to be reviewed, and and the whole site obviously will be reviewed as well as part of the building permit process to ensure that it does meet traffic engineering standards and access management standards that exist at the city.

Uh I don't know the specific details around those or how they would apply to this.

Um, but yes, the short answer is it would be reviewed during the development process.

And it's too close to Harvard to have another cut.

Yeah, I mean, I think the one across the street.

I do think there are we have greater restrictions on spacing of driveways along arterial streets.

And so I've again I don't know the specific dimension that is in the the standard detail the city uses, but I don't think it's far-fetched to believe that it's not enough distance there to put a new access for ingress and egress out onto 11th Street, especially if there's a turn lane for Harvard there.

Okay.

Any other questions for Nathan?

Yeah, maybe I do so but forgetting the rezoning, right?

If if they weren't rezoning the parking lot, a restaurant could go there, and that could be parking, right?

Like they wouldn't need any approval from us to put a smaller restaurant there or uh restaurant there with you know the same driveway access would right if they weren't rezoning the part, that's right.

All they're asking for really today is the rezoning of the the western portion along Harvard.

Right, that's correct.

I mean, everything that the restaurant sits in and even the proposed drive-through is already zoned CH today, which a restaurant and a drive-thru are allowed by right in that district.

Um and in fact, I think he mentioned it was a 4,000 square foot restaurant.

I don't think it actually has a minimum parking requirement.

So you could build that portion without the parking that's being provided to the north.

Obviously, that probably doesn't meet the needs of their customers and what they want, but overall that could already be built on that portion of the property just because it has existing CH zoning.

Thanks.

Okay, any more questions for Nathan?

Just to play devil's advocate for what I've heard a little bit here is is i it's a toss-up between the use of of the road in the neighborhood and what they can currently do with the with the project, which is almost the same thing.

I said we don't need to lose sight of the fact that this seems like a good entity to put in there because they're open from six o'clock in the morning till eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

If you're gonna have a commercial entity there and you have a some kind of restriction into a neighborhood, I don't think we're gonna find a better product to put in that spot than what they're asking for.

Okay, thanks, Nathan.

Then you want to make a motion.

I'm gonna okay.

I will second that.

Yeah, we have a motion by Commissioner Turner Addison, a second by Commissioner Walker for the approval of item three per staff recommendation.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And that item is approved.

Item number four is another city rezoning, Z 7869.

This is located at the southwest corner of East 41st Street and North and North Columbia Avenue.

Um the rezoning request is to take this property, which is roughly nine acres, uh, from an existing AG designation to RS3.

Uh it's our understanding the property owner, there's already one home on the property and they would like to subdivide into additional lots and accommodate some more home sites to build more single family residential.

Um so they're requesting to take it to RS3.

RS3 obviously our most widespread single family residential zoning has a minimum lot width of 60 feet.

Um any sort of subdivision would have to go through the appropriate process.

However, they could theoretically create up to uh four total tracks out of this property just by uh a lot split process.

Um, but they would still need to serve each lot with public infrastructure, um, and all of that would be taken care of during that subdivision process.

But the comprehensive plan already calls the area a neighborhood, which RS3 fits nicely within, and so we recommended approval of the rezoning.

Okay, any questions for Nathan?

Gene?

Yeah, I don't know if for Nathan or the applicant, but do we know what the plan is for lots, single family, multifamily?

Do you have any idea?

Or is that all single family question?

Yeah, the I mean the RS3 only allows up to single family by right.

Um at most, you get a duplex by special exception through the board of adjustment.

But my understanding from the original application was that this is just intended to allow them to split a few more lots off to build additional homes under what they can do currently.

So we don't know how many are site plan or I don't think we've seen any actual drawings.

Um and the applicant may be here and can speak more to the maximum.

Oh yeah, perfect.

So he can tell you more about his plans.

Okay, thank you, Nathan.

We don't have any speakers.

Is the applicant here would you like to come up?

Okay.

Never been in that before.

Just give us your name and address, please.

Uh my name is Micah Tilford.

I currently reside at 2162 South Fulton Place.

Um, that's midtown 21st Yale area.

Um, yes, I I've been a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma now for 12 and a half years.

Um I got married.

I started a business, my wife started a business.

Um we have three kids, and uh at some point my mother entering retirement was like, I want to live near my only grandchildren.

So uh we we started a process of uh my mom didn't want to live outside the city, my dad wanted a little bit of space, um, and in the process of them moving here and their retirement age, we kind of found this lot uh in the summer of 2024.

Uh, you know, at 9.17 acres, it served a lot of opportunity.

It was um had a pretty run-down house on it uh currently.

So um we were able to purchase it for about 340,000.

Um we have since put about 200,000 into renovation uh towards it.

Um and uh I got a quote estimation, uh it appraised for uh five hundred and sixty uh thousand dollars as is.

Uh so it's a pretty break-even project right now.

Um I think long term uh one of the visions I've had for it is being able to move like in the same like build on there and move close to my parents in their retirement age.

Um this is also even been escalating more where my sister had during this after we purchased this process uh started encountering some health uh complications.

So her, my mother, my father have all like are actually we're still in the moving process down here.

My mother lives here.

My sister's gonna move in with them.

They're selling their house in Indiana, they're coming down here from Indiana.

On top of that, a couple weeks ago, my grandmother in Virginia's condition took a worse state, so now she's gonna move in to this house.

So I have um bringing down a lot of my family here, and I would like to have some options and also just see what the city would even allow.

I don't know.

Uh, but part of the reason uh I would like to rezone it is there's a FEMA floodplain zone in the like northwest corner of the property, and then the middle of the property, like kind of maybe just a little bit to the west of middle, is uh as a city storm uh line for it.

Um, so it kind of has to be divided to like I don't I'm not I do work in with utilities.

I own a uh a commercial plumbing and utility business here in town.

I've been in business for over eight years.

Um so I do actually work with public sewer.

I mean, I'm like registered under the IDP.

So I do know a little bit on like I'm envisioning what I understand about stormwork in my profession is that like uh I need to preserve that storm line.

Um, and there is sewer that also runs through the middle, so there's gonna be a sewer easement in the middle of the property along that storm line.

Uh water is on the east side of uh Columbia, so the back half of the property cannot be divided from the water.

Um, we've talked about Alan Holman a little bit about that already.

Um so in order to like be able to build on the back half or or do something, I'm gonna have to incur like a water main extension cost.

Um, and so try to just like possibly offset some of that cost if I could divide it, maybe build more houses, whether that be for like my sister or you know, I've got two aunts who don't have any kids, and now their mother's coming to live.

I I don't even know.

Like I like maybe I need to uh sell it, but the vision is not um, the vision is like right now five lots.

Um I could do one to the south.

I could keep the back west side of the lot as the big lot uh i could keep the house that's there currently in the central east side of it and then put two lots up on the north uh there'd be a minor sewer main extension I'd have to do and I'd have to bring the water over to the western side of the property in order to from my understanding of how the how the city code works would be the investment and so to be able to offset some of that cost I would uh possibly like to like build on it maybe sell one or two of the lots but you know mostly agriculture is gonna make me have two acres per lot and but if we get it rezoned to RH3 uh I could I could go less than two acres which ideally I'm still acre plus lots on this property.

Okay any questions okay thank you Mr.

Tilford I just have a comment so thank I appreciate that and uh the city just launched our T Town home catalog of pre-approved plans which might help you so if you go on our website um I think it's city of tulsa dot org catalog uh we have plans that have already been designed by architects that uh might make your development a little bit easier sweet that's awesome thank you.

I will make a motion for approval item four.

We have a motion by Commissioner Walker second by Commissioner Fugue for the approval item four per staff recommendation all those in favor opposed and that item is approved item five thank you.

Yep.

Item five is another city rezoning this is E 7870 it is for a lot located east of the southeast corner of East 16th Street South and South 85th East Avenue.

The request is just to rezone this one lot from RS1 to RS2.

The current lot is 170 feet wide which puts it 30 feet short of being able to be split into two and still meet the RS1 minimum lot width standards.

So the request is to rezone to RS2 which would reduce the minimum lot width to 75 feet and allow them a single lot split to basically go from one single family home to two on the slot.

The lot is in a neighborhood land use designation there's a range of lot sizes in the immediate area that this would be compatible with and so we recommended an approval of the rezoning thank you Nathan any questions for Nathan thank you.

Is the applicant here no and we do not have any speakers for item five so we are in discussion motion item five approval item number five per staff recommendation second we have a motion by Commissioner Shivel a second by Commissioner Whitlock for the approval item five per staff recommendation all those in favor?

Opposed and that item is approved item six would it be okay if we do six and seven together CZ596 and Howard Ranch Estates is a request for a county rezoning from AG to RS1 for the purposes of a residential subdivision the property location is at 718 east 131st Street South in Jinx Oklahoma.15 acres of land from AG to RS1 to allow the development of a large residential subdivision the applicant is also separately planting this entire tract in the southern adjacent tract as Howard Ranch estate the proposed preliminary plat consists of um eight eight point one five acres and provides the development of 12 single family residential lots within one block.

The subdivision is accessed from east 131st Street south by a single public street terminating terminating in a cul-de-sac.

The proposed lots sizes range from approximately 20 2300 596 square feet to 2600 or to uh twenty-six thousand two hundred and thirty-three square feet.

Staff finds that the proposed preliminary plat represents an orderly and efficient residential subdivision that is compatible with the surrounding pattern of the development and is consistent with the proposed RS1 zoning designation, subject to completion of the public agency uh review process and incorporation of any required technical revisions.

Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat for Howard Ranch Estate, subject to the approval of the associated RS1 rezoning requests, technical advice advisory committee comments in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Subdivision and development regulations.

We had a brief meeting with them yesterday, and basically what triggered that update is that we felt that it was important along with county engineers that the plat also included the agricultural two tracks to the south, mostly just for um detention and drainage purposes.

The HOA needs to make sure that they have some type of like legal binding document that gives them access for maintenance and things of that nature.

So that's pretty much the update on that plat that you received, and then also it does not have the legal description for those southern tracks to um the southern tracks, but they will be uh incorporated during the final plot process.

Okay, any questions for Kendall?

Thanks, sir.

Thank you.

Is the applicant here?

Yeah, would you like to come up or we have do I have a speaker we do you want to have them first?

Come on up.

Is that Joseph Heidi?

Please give us your name and address.

Joseph Heidi, one three one two zero South Norfolk Avenue.

I'm the house to the east of the north lot right there.

Uh one of the things I want to point out is I think the EQ is going to require a half acre because you're gonna have to have an aerobic system because the water the land is not perk out there.

In fact, it holds water and rain.

So I think the minimum's gonna have to be a half acre for each of those things.

And talking to my neighbors, because we bought these houses on two acres, it's the most beautiful sunset in the world, and we'd like to limit it to single story homes on the uh east side of those lots over there.

Okay, any questions?

Thank you, sir.

Okay, would the applicant like to come up?

Please give your name and address.

Michael Ledford with Synergy 810 South Cincinnati.

Here in Tulsa.

Um I represent uh Ben Nill, the uh developer of this is a uh all the lots in this edition are over half an acre, so that they will require aerobic systems um and we've uh designed this for a low intensity so that we could uh have nice estate lots.

Um the plan is to have just as nice a homes to the east as um and we feel that uh that this would add value to the property values around the okay area.

Any questions for Mr.

Dead?

Thank you, sir.

Okay, thank you.

That's it.

We we are in review.

For item six, and seven.

Jeff, one or both to take them together or you bet, take your time.

Do you want to empire?

You want to empire?

Separate.

Okay.

Well, come on up, Kendall.

So it was just brought to my attention because the southern tracks that I just brought up with that updated.

We didn't have that reflected in the notices for the plat portion.

So I think we'll have to continue that one and re-notice it.

But item seven.

Yes, sir.

But the rezoning, the CZ for the uh five nine six is it's still good to go.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

So whatever the next question is.

So we need a motion, and then a motion for a continuance.

Yes, sir.

Anybody want to offer?

Second.

Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Whitlock, a second by Commissioner Q for the approval of item six per staff recommendation.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

I will make a motion to what date set on seven, Kim.

The next meeting is August 1st.

I think it's second meeting.

Aug one.

I'll make a motion we continue item seven to August 1st.

We have a motion by Commissioner Walker.

Second by Commissioner Whitlock.

Yeah.

I think it's August to be in 100%.

August 5th, or so I correct correct August 5th.

So we have a motion and a second.

All those in favor?

Opposed?

That item is continued to August 5th.

Item eight.

It is Tulsa Classical Academy, which is a school that is in operation.

Located, I guess, north of the northeast corner of South Sheridan and East 101st Street South.

They have had a pending plat for a couple years and it was never actually filed.

They have met the subdivision and development regulations through what they have submitted and have releases from development services.

At the previous hearing, the applicant was not present and there were neighbors speaking.

Not necessarily an objection of the use, but in terms of issues that they are having with erosion, storm water and sediment issues coming from the property.

But staff does recommend approval for the minor plat.

There is also a caveat in our subdivision regulations that if a plat is submitted, the planning commission must act within 30 days of their original hearing date.

And so there's not really another opportunity to approve this, otherwise it just becomes approved anyway.

Um just to make that clear for you, but I I do ask that the applicant and the neighbors who are here, at least after the meeting, uh hear uh what they need to say, but after the meeting, I just do wish they would uh get in contact and exchange information to help remedy some of these okay issues.

Thanks, Austin.

Any questions for Austin?

Okay.

Um is the applicant here?

Would you like to come up?

Please give your name and address.

John Drose, 5 South Maine, Sepulpo, Oklahoma.

Um, as Mr.

Chapman said, this is approval of a preliminary plat.

It sounds to me, and uh unfortunately I haven't been to the site.

Some of our staff have been to the site that there are some code enforcement issues that have recently been remedied.

I know uh uh Mr.

Shaw Fitzel is here from this as a representative of the school, and he can speak more to what those code enforcement issues that have since been remedied are.

Um, however, as Mr.

Chapman said, this is to approve a plat and not a code enforcement hearing.

Okay.

Any questions for the applicant?

We do have one speaker.

We can have you back up if you'd like.

Uh Cyril De Lapp.

Please give your name and address.

Cyril DeLap 6732, East 97th Street Tulsa.

Uh, we primarily wanted to come up and thank you all because in the uh I don't know how often that happens, but after three years of dealing uh with these issues, uh it got some attention and some action and thanks to Austin as well.

Uh and Mike Shaftsal is here, he's the owner's rep, and I pretty much see him out on property.

Uh I don't know that it's solved the uh erosion.

It's an eight percent slope, um, but they have remediated it and they've taken down uh shouldn't have taken three years to solve the code violation issues.

Uh they were present from day one.

But we thank you for that, and we thank you to Mike and the school for uh at least addressing those issues, and he continues to monitor it.

So that was it.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Um is applicant.

Do you want to come back up?

Are you okay?

Okay.

Uh, item eight.

I'll move to approve item number eight pursuing staff recommendation.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Bullmash, a second by Commissioner Turner Addison for the approval of item number eight per staff recommendation.

All those in favor, opposed, and that item is approved.

I don't remember not.

Um item number nine is an extension of the approval for preliminary plat.

It is the Bill Knight Commercial Center, which is a collision center, I think for fleet vehicles located uh south of 91st Street South in South Domingo.

Um there is actually limited infrastructure associated with this plat.

Um a lot of it is cleaning up covenants.

Um, staff sees no reason to not recommend approval of that extension um and it should be uh filed within that one year.

Mainly there's dedication of easements and some uh right of way, but um they had accelerated release, but there was actually no infrastructure to uh guarantee in terms of financial guarantees.

The previous subdivision uh contained most of their storm water.

Okay.

Thanks, Austin.

Any questions for Austin?

Thanks, sir.

Is the applicant here?

No, and we do not have any speakers either.

So we're in review on item nine.

Second.

We have a motion by Commissioner Pugate, a second by Commissioner Humphreys for the approval of item nine for staff recommendation.

All those in favor, opposed, and item nine is approved.

I remember 10.

Um item number two is uh like the item number 10, uh like the previous um item is another extension of a preliminary plat.

Um, this is Battle Creek Park phase three.

Um it is a single family residential subdivision uh located um east of the northeast corner of South 152nd, East Avenue and East 41st Street.

Um I don't have much to say.

Very similar to every other iteration of Battle Creek Park, but it is more housing that they're looking to get online.

Um we have those plots in our office um to move forward as soon as this is extended.

Um the expiration is expired, but we did get this request prior to that expiration, so we can move forward as a just extending that approval and get it recorded.

Okay.

Any questions for Austin?

We do not have any speakers.

Mike, are you okay with staff recommendation?

Okay.

We are in review.

Item 10.

We have a motion by Commissioner Whitlock, a second by Commissioner Shivel for the approval of item number 10 for staff recommendation.

All those in favor?

Opposed.

And that item is approved.

Item 11.

It was 111 lots, Gene.

I think that we are going.

Yeah.

Um the final item is not actually an action item for anything to be done with it today.

It is really just notice and an explanation.

The um the map you're seeing in front of you is the Renaissance neighborhood.

So there is an overlay affecting that property called the neighborhood character overlay.

Um it has several items related to uh basically the the scale and bulk of properties within that area.

Um it has some limitations on height, it does allow ADUs by right, which was common in that area, and there are some other design standards.

Um the neighborhood has requested that the city revisit some of those standards.

Um, particularly we have a second neighborhood character overlay that was written into our zoning code that will be coming through uh for map amendment on Florence Park, and the Renaissance neighborhood wanted several of those items um looked at in terms of what they could add to their character overlay.

The the real impetus of this was a house that was built to the letter of the overlay.

Um that while it did control the bulk of the property, um it was not exactly how the neighborhood thought that would come through.

Um I will say there has been a turning point, and the person bought the property has added some some new siding and is working to make it a little bit more in character with the neighborhood.

Um but one thing the neighborhood would like is to have additional restrictions and how close the front facade of the building can be to the garage door to make that kind of an accessory feature and not the prominent in front of the house, which is uh to be honest, detached houses or detached garages are what's common in the neighborhood and what was originally built.

And so this is encourages it the garages to be in the rear and in the back.

Um, there's an addition restriction on roof pitch.

Um, it's not anything crazy, but it would prevent someone from doing a flat top roof, which was requested as well.

And so this will be coming to you on August 19th, I think for actual final vote.

Um, there's a draft in your um agenda, and that is just a draft.

I'm still in contact with uh the neighborhood leaders and the board of their uh neighborhood association to to get that finalized.

So we just want to make sure you all saw this before um August 19th and just had an understanding of where it was coming from.

So this would be for all new infill.

Uh yes.

Yeah, so obviously nothing that's in there is unless you tear down the house, you're not gonna have to bring anything into compliance if it doesn't mean it now.

All right, so no no action today, Austin.

Uh no action.

Um, and I I will say the the changes will affect residential property.

Um I think we did include the school inside of that, so it's uh Mayo uh school.

Nothing's gonna change the design standards of the school unless the school parcels out property for residential development.

Okay.

Any questions for Austin?

Thanks, sir.

Um, any commissioner comments?

We have World Cup in four minutes.

I'll make a motion for adjournment.

We have a motion and a second.

All those in favor?

Opposed, we are adjourned.
