00:54heard individually. We'll hear the item,
00:56discuss, and determine if a
00:57recommendation or decision can be made,
01:00uh or if more time and a continuance is
01:02necessary.
01:03Uh there are certain cases where this

01:07most instances, we provide a
01:09recommendation to City Council
01:12and are not the final decision. So, for

01:29commission and are not factors in our
01:31discussion or consideration, and we ask

01:55with a large group of people, we

05:59which is an application for a specific
06:00plan pursuant to the approval of PUD
06:031426 located at 620 Northwest 61st
06:06Street.
06:07>> Good afternoon, David Box, 525 Northwest
06:0911th Street here on behalf of the
06:10applicant. This is an application for a
06:13specific plan. It's a former Chesapeake
06:15campus. We had one previously for a data
06:17center and expansion of the central
06:19plant.
06:20My belief is one of the buildings was
06:21left off our permit. In order to get the
06:23permit, you have to have a specific
06:24plan. And so this is cleanup for that
06:27particular one.
06:28Conforms to the PUD. Happy to answer any
06:30questions.
06:33>> All right, Commissioner Powers, this is
06:35Ward 2. Do you want to
06:37lead our discussion?
06:40>> Well, we we went through this recently
06:43to to approve
06:45this request on on the
06:48specific plan. Apparently it didn't
06:50include a piece of property that it
06:52should have. I'm I've been assured that
06:54this is strictly kind of a cleanup
06:57administrative sort of thing. And so
06:59unless somebody has something else they
07:01want to say about it, I'll move
07:02approval. There's not anybody here
07:04signed up to speak.
07:05>> No.
07:07>> It's not a new data center, I've been
07:09assured.
07:10>> [laughter]
07:11>> And and it's specifically exempt in our
07:14moratorium.
07:15>> Just
07:16>> Correct. The moratorium exempt two,
07:19maybe four things. This PUD
07:23was one of the things specifically
07:24exempted in that moratorium ordinance.
07:30>> So,
07:32if nobody else has anything they want to
07:34contribute, I'm going to move to approve
07:35item number 25.
07:38Specific plan for Am I in the right
07:40place? I'm not, am I?
07:42No.
07:44Thank you.
07:45>> Item four.
07:46>> Uh for the specific plan for PUD item
07:48four.
07:49PUD specific plan for PUD 1426-SPO3.
07:52[clears throat]
07:55>> We have a motion from Commissioner
07:56Powers to approve the specific plan. For
07:58the record, staff's review of the
07:59specific plan for the development
08:01indicates the proposal is consistent
08:03with PUD 1426 master design statement
08:06and the master development plans as
08:07amended, provided that potable water is
08:09not used for domestic consumption,
08:11irrigation, and fire protection
08:12purposes.
08:13That has been seconded by Commissioner
08:15Meek. Please cast your votes.
08:25>> Thank you.
08:26>> That item is approved.
08:29Item five.
08:30>> Item five is case number P 1532-SP04,
08:36which is an application for a specific
08:38plan pursuant to the approval of PUD
08:391532,
08:41located at 16640 Network Avenue.
08:46>> Hello, Jessica Lloyd with Johnson

08:50just an extension of the Port 164
08:52development. As to what we're proposing
08:55is a 20,000 square foot building for
08:57commercial and industrial flex space
08:58units. Uh we have three units proposed
09:01with this specific plan.
09:03So, happy to answer any questions and it
09:05conforms with the PUD.
09:08>> Um Commissioner Noble, this is Ward A. I
09:11do not have anyone signed up to speak.
09:13Thank you. Um

09:19So, in
09:20staff said that it meets the specific
09:21plan or the specific plan is
09:25consistent with the PUD 1532, so
09:29I will make a motion to approve PUD
09:311532-SP04.
09:34>> We have a motion from Commissioner Noble
09:36to approve the specific plan. It's been
09:38seconded by Commissioner Harrison.
09:39Please cast your votes.
09:44That specific plan is approved.

09:50>> Item six is case number CE1169, which is
09:53an application to close a portion of the
09:54East-West right-of-way for Northwest
09:56103rd Street, um which is generally west
09:59of West Garnett.
10:02>> Sheryl Plexico, 923 North Robinson here
10:06for the applicant, Chance to Change
10:07Foundation. We're back from 2 weeks ago.
10:11We've revised the application to include
10:14only that East-West portion and not
10:17include that portion of the neighbor
10:21that is to the east and would be happy
10:24to answer any questions.
10:29>> Okay.
10:30Um
10:31Commissioner Harrison, this is your
10:32ward. I do not have anyone signed up to
10:34speak.
10:34>> Okay, then uh any of the other
10:36commissioners have any comments
10:37regarding this particular application?
10:40>> I I think this is, you know, from the
10:42last time we saw it, this really cleans
10:43it up, makes it pretty straightforward.
10:46Um I think it basically resolved all the
10:47concerns that we had when we saw it
10:50last. So,
10:50>> Yeah, thank you for doing exactly what
10:52we were looking for. Looks good.
10:54>> Yeah, thank you.
10:55>> Anytime.
10:56I definitely agree with that. Uh seeing
10:59not seeing any more conversation, I'll
11:01move that item CE1169
11:04for approval.
11:05>> A motion to recommend the item City
11:07Council for approval from Commissioner
11:09Harrison.
11:13Seconded by Commissioner Meek. Please
11:14cast your votes.
11:22That item is recommended for approval.
11:23Good luck.
11:25Item seven.
11:27>> Item seven is case number CE1156, which
11:30is an application to close a portion of
11:32the East Crest right away for Southeast
11:34Southeast 61st Street and a portion of
11:37the East West platted utility easement
11:39in block three in the Voorhees Acres
11:42addition.
11:43Um this is east of South Sooner Road and
11:45south of Southeast 59th.
11:49>> Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman and members
11:52of the commission. My name is Kelly Work
11:54and my address is 105 North Hudson,
11:57Suite 304 and I'm here on behalf of the
11:59applicant and connection with this
12:02request to close portion of uh
12:06platted street that is identified as
12:08Southeast 61st Street and also portion
12:12of a 20-ft platted easement.
12:14Uh the um
12:16applicant owns the property on on both
12:19sides of these platted rights of way
12:23that were included in the 1947 plat of
12:27Voorhees addition. Uh they've never been
12:30improved. There is
12:32Crutcho Creek runs through there and
12:34it's is a pretty significant creek. So
12:37there is no connection there as you
12:39extend to the east. This area was
12:42originally it was platted to be a
12:45residential development and there there
12:47are some residences there on the east
12:48side of Crutcho Creek but the property
12:51that fronts along Sooner Road
12:54is industrial and is is is zoned I-2
12:58including the property that this
13:00applicant owns. And so the object here
13:02is to close the these unused right of
13:06ways to consolidate this tract for to be
13:09able to market it as a as a whole tract.
13:13And this has been kicking around as you
13:15I'm sure will have noticed on your
13:18agenda for quite a while because there
13:20were some concerns raised by
13:22uh some of the neighbors and uh
13:25we have resolved those to our knowledge
13:27and so we don't believe there's any
13:29objection remaining at this time.
13:32One of those neighbors we we acquired
13:36their property and so they formally
13:38withdraw withdrew their
13:41opposition and as a result we expanded
13:45the area that was
13:48included in this request to close to
13:50include the property that was adjacent
13:52to the
13:53to that tract. So it's a little bit
13:56more area that is requested to be closed
13:59and what was included with the original
14:01application and and that's the reason
14:03for that. So what we would then do is go
14:06to the council if we get your
14:08recommendation for approval and then
14:10from there to district court to file an
14:14action to vacate the right of way and
14:16then we'd be in a position to
14:18to market the property which is the
14:21plan. I'm happy to answer any questions
14:23that you all may have.
14:26>> Um Commissioner Privett, this is Ward 4.
14:29I do not have anyone signed up to speak.
14:31>> Okay. Um
14:33thought about gaking you a little bit
14:34about the half closure on the end but
14:36I don't think just because of the
14:38previous case but I think it's fine. Um
14:41I don't have any issues with it.
14:44I think if that property wasn't acquired
14:46we might
14:47talk about it but it was so no issues
14:50for me.
14:52If anybody else didn't have anything.
14:53>> I just
14:55I just wanted to make sure that you got
14:56with this Michael Wintz and explained to
14:58him
14:59>> Yes. Yeah. And he's he has been
15:02represented by counsel and we've been
15:04advised by his counsel that they are no
15:08longer objecting.
15:12>> Okay.
15:15Turn my mic back on. In that case I will
15:18move approval of CE 1156.
15:22>> The motion from Commissioner Privett to
15:24recommend the item city council for
15:26approval.
15:28Seconded by Commissioner Pever, please
15:30cast your votes.
15:37That item is recommended for approval.
15:39>> Thank you.
15:41>> Item eight.
15:44>> Item eight is case number CE 1166 an
15:47application to close portions of street
15:50and alley right-of-way within um
15:53the College Park addition which is
15:55generally north of West Hefner Road and
15:57west of Broadway Extension.
16:00>> Pat Garrett and Company 9701 North
16:03Broadway Extension, Oklahoma City.
16:08>> What can you tell us about the
16:09application?
16:10>> Um if we're closing streets and alleys
16:12up here at College Park addition, all
16:14the neighbors have either joined
16:17have signed off on it or sold me the
16:19property. We were on this a couple about
16:21a month ago and we had a continuance
16:23because we had some protest. Uh they
16:25have agreed and I have now deeds to that
16:28property.
16:29And I ask that you all approve these uh
16:31street vacations and alley vacations.
16:34>> All right.
16:35Well, thank you thank you for taking the
16:37extra time to go back and and visit with
16:39them and and get everything straightened
16:41out. I think it was well worth the
16:43the delay to to get consensus. So, uh
16:46Commissioner Harrison, this is your
16:48ward. I do not have anyone signed up to
16:50speak.
16:51>> Okay. And
16:53if we don't have anyone else um any
16:55other commissioners have any other
16:56comments?
16:57If not, uh I agree with
17:00uh what Chair said that you spent the
17:02time to make sure that they were cleaned
17:03up. Uh with that being the case, I
17:05recommend item CE 1166 for approval.
17:09>> A motion from Commissioner Harrison to
17:11recommend the item city council for
17:12approval. Seconded by Commissioner Meek,
17:15please cast your votes.
17:25>> Thank you.
17:25>> That item is recommended for approval.
17:28Item nine.
17:31>> Item nine is case VP-14, which is an
17:34application to vacate the final plat of
17:37Coyle North, which is located east of
17:40North May Avenue and south of Northwest
17:42150th.
17:43>> Good afternoon, David Box 525 5
17:45Northwest 11th. Item nine and 10 are
17:47companion items. This is an item that we
17:49or this tract we got rezoned a few years
17:51ago to have a series of duplex lots. My
17:54client now owns all of the lots within
17:56there and so item nine is seeking to
17:58vacate the lot lines essentially to
18:00create one single lot. Um
18:03there are two T&E's, both of which we
18:04agree to. Happy to answer any questions.
18:12>> Commissioner Noble, this is your ward.
18:14If you want to
18:15>> lead our discussion, I do not have
18:16anyone signed up to speak.
18:18>> Great. Um it's pretty simple. Does any
18:21commissioner have anything on this
18:22vacation?
18:24Um staff recommended approval. Uh you
18:26agree with two T&E's, so I will make a
18:29motion to approve
18:32case number VP-0 or VP-14.
18:38>> Uh we have a motion from Commissioner
18:40Noble to approve the item, seconded by
18:42Commissioner Harrison. Please cast your
18:44subject to the T&E's. Please cast your
18:46votes.
18:52>> Thank you.
18:53>> That item is approved. Item 10.
18:55>> Okay, item 10 is the companion PUD. It's
18:58case number PUD-2164,
19:00an application to rezone 14712 Mesaluna
19:04Avenue from the PUD-1961
19:07and PUD-2011
19:08um PUD's to a new PUD-2164.
19:13>> Once again, David Box, 525 Northwest
19:1411th. The purpose of the PUD is to allow
19:16the multi-family use unit, which is what
19:18is necessary to have all of these
19:19dwelling units on a single lot. Uh so,
19:22there are no TEs. Happy to answer any
19:23questions.
19:25>> Um again, Commissioner Noble, if you
19:28want to lead our discussion, I do not
19:30have anyone signed up to speak.
19:32>> Good. Um
19:34I did have a conversation with the
19:36applicant on this. It is basically the
19:38exact same PUD as
19:41it was before, just with the cleanup of
19:43the R4.
19:45So,
19:46anybody have anything else to say?
19:48It's already completed. Um
19:50staff recommended approval, and so I
19:52will recommend
19:54um or make a motion to recommend
19:55approval of PUD 2164.
20:00>> A motion from Commissioner Noble to
20:01recommend the item
20:03to City Council for approval.
20:07Been seconded by Commissioner Meek.
20:08Please cast your votes.
20:15>> Thank you.
20:16>> That item's recommended
20:17recommended for approval. Thank you.
20:20Um
20:22Commissioners, we have a we have a
20:26scenario where the chair has to leave
20:28early today, and I've got two cases in
20:30my ward
20:32um that are at the end of the agenda
20:33that I absolutely want to be present
20:35for, and so I'm going to ask that we
20:37take items 21 and 22 out of order and
20:40hear those now.
20:46So, we'll call item 21.
20:54>> Okay, item 21 and 22 are related. Item
20:5721 is case number CPA 2600011,
21:04which is consideration of a proposed map
21:06amendment to the comprehensive plan that
21:08would remove the agricultural preserve
21:10layer and change the land use typology
21:12from rural low to urban low
21:15on a 705 acre tract north of West
21:17Wilshire Boulevard and west of North
21:19Frisco.
21:23>> Good afternoon. Bonetti Mohi Ortiz for
21:25the planning department.
21:29We have CPA 2600011.
21:33The request is an amendment to the
21:35comprehensive plan
21:37to remove the agricultural preserve from
21:40the rural low and change the designation
21:43to urban low. The associate beauties
21:462152.
21:50Okay. So, like you can see in this map,
21:53it's located in the northwest part of
21:55the city.
21:58In terms of the existing conditions,
22:02here you can see the map of the existing
22:03condition.
22:06In land use, almost the whole area is
22:10undeveloped with some residential to the
22:11south and some residentials to the east
22:15and west.
22:17In terms of the zoning, everything is
22:20zoned
22:21AA and everything around it is zoned AA.
22:26In terms of the Luda,
22:27like you can see here,
22:29it's agricultural preserve and the
22:31agricultural preserve [snorts] layer is
22:33over the rural low
22:36base designation.
22:39In terms of city services,
22:41usually I do this part real quick, but
22:44I'm going to stop and do each one of
22:46them
22:47and take a little bit of time and if you
22:48have any questions about them, you can
22:51um
22:52let me know. In terms of water,
22:55the site is located outside of what the
22:58city designate
22:59a zone that is character so it is within
23:02a zone that is characterized as
23:04inefficient to serve.
23:06Um the nearest public water line is over
23:10two and a half miles away to the east.
23:15In terms of sewer, the site falls
23:18outside of the city sewer service zone
23:20characterized as need of major
23:22investment.
23:24Then it is the nearest sewer line is
23:26approximately 4 to 5 miles to the west.
23:29Um Bear Creek sewer basin is already
23:32almost at capacity.
23:34Um and depending on the speed speed of
23:37development in this area, they might not
23:39be able to develop until that plan
23:42uh
23:43um get more capacity. It's also
23:45important that when we talk to
23:47utilities, they let us know this will
23:49require a lift station
23:51and a major investment from the
23:53developer to be able to develop this
23:55site uh
23:57uh with sewer.
24:00In terms of emergency services, the site
24:02falls outside
24:04well outside of the city preferred rural
24:07response time for um emergency services.
24:11And there's no plans uh from the city to
24:15do in the 2025 bond to do any new uh
24:20fire station or anything close
24:22to this site.
24:25Um we added a little bit about street
24:28topology because I know for the
24:29neighbors, the roads around this area is
24:32a big deal, it's very important. Um the
24:34road network serving this site does not
24:37meet the standards typically expected
24:39for urban low.
24:41Several roads in the vicinity remain
24:44chip and seal surfaces rather than
24:45asphalt, reflecting the lower capacity
24:48rural roadway conditions inconsistent
24:50with the increased traffic demands
24:52associated with urban low intensity.
24:55Connectivity along Frisco Road is
24:57interrupted at certain points, further
25:00limiting access and complicating
25:02emergency services response
25:05capabilities.
25:06No new program city improvements
25:09improvements for roadway subgrades or
25:11infrastructure extensions in this area
25:13within the 2025 geo bond. So there's no
25:16plan
25:17um
25:18program or anything from the city to
25:19improve any of these roads.
25:22Um here are the
25:24our street type uh typology map um
25:28for the area is mostly very rural roads.
25:31I have some pictures in the next slide
25:34um
25:35of the roads in the area. Like you can
25:38see there, they're very small roads.
25:40Um
25:41a lot of them are not improved. So um
25:44these type of development for this area
25:47um
25:48with the city have having no plans
25:51um
25:52it's just not not recommended at this
25:54moment.
25:56Um also in terms of environmental
25:58sensitive areas,
26:00um
26:01this uh project uh has some riparian
26:04areas. There are some concerns
26:06about um
26:07drainage issues in this area. There are
26:09some concerns about streams. Um with
26:12this big project, you can go to the next
26:15one.
26:16Also uh we have introduced to these
26:19council uh to these uh
26:22to you members the impaired waters map
26:24and one at one time um almost all
26:27Oklahoma City sadly almost all our
26:29streams are already uh classified as
26:32impaired or at risk. In this area almost
26:35all the stream are um
26:38already classified as impaired or at
26:41risk to be impaired.
26:43Um they drain to um
26:46major streams that are already
26:48classified as impaired. So um
26:51these type of development to in my to
26:54that risk.
26:58In terms of the finding the subject site
27:00is largely in develop and adjacent to
27:03mostly undeveloped land with some big
27:05lots of residential and agricultural
27:07uses.
27:08The predominant pattern surrounding the
27:10subject site is undeveloped land and
27:12rural residential zone AA.
27:15Conditions and provisions for higher
27:16level of services have not changed for
27:18the subject site not or that adjacent
27:21size to indicate that a change in LODA
27:23is appropriate.
27:25The city has no expectation in the
27:27foreseeable future for organization or
27:29extension of urban infrastructure as
27:31water or sewer in this area.
27:33I know future fire stations are planned
27:35to improve rural response time in this
27:37area. This site is not proximate to
27:40either urban low or urban future
27:42designated areas.
27:44Based on the findings above, the staff
27:45recommend denial of this request.
27:49If there is any questions.
27:52>> Uh yeah, I I have one. So, obviously
27:54this is this is a precursor to the next
27:56item that we're going to hear and that
27:58proposal
28:01includes bringing water and sewer to the
28:04area.
28:05Um the analysis that you showed is based
28:08on current conditions now. There's
28:09there's not water and sewer there,
28:11correct?
28:11>> Also in the um
28:13application that we received for the
28:15CPA, there was no mention of expanding
28:18or extending water or sewer.
28:19>> Okay.
28:20>> So, I
28:22I do my analysis based on the
28:23application and what they write in their
28:25report.
28:26>> So, you have information that that
28:29doesn't say that water and sewer is
28:30being brought to the site.
28:31>> In my application is not mentioned.
28:33>> Okay.
28:35>> Or at least in the report they give it
28:36to us.
28:37For the CPA.
28:39>> Okay.
28:41>> We
28:42>> So, if it were in the if it were in
28:44there, it would have been considered in
28:47in your analysis?
28:48>> Yeah, it would have had.
28:49>> Okay.
28:54Uh other questions, comments from
28:58commissioners?
29:03>> Well, I I don't know how much of it's
29:04appropriate for us to get into the the
29:06following application, but it's also my
29:09understanding that they are willing to
29:10provide Skype sites for school for uh a
29:14possible future fire station. So, if
29:17that's true, that seems to me to
29:19alleviate an awful lot of the concern.
29:21>> Well, there's I mean, they can they can
29:23provide a site, but then somebody else
29:24has to fund it. So, there's no
29:26guarantee.
29:27>> we've always told people that
29:28infrastructure of all kinds
29:29>> Right.
29:30Drive Right.
29:32>> Right. We get that, but I'm just I want
29:33to make I just want to be perfectly
29:35clear
29:35>> Absolutely.
29:36>> um that yes, they can provide the sites,
29:39but
29:41city might not have [laughter] the city
29:43might not have the money immediately to
29:44put in a fire station.
29:46>> Well,
29:46>> So,
29:47>> this isn't going to be developed
29:48immediately.
29:49>> Right. Right.
29:49>> Would it
29:50need to be developed me I believe
29:52there's a fire station in Surrey Hills 5
29:54miles away.
29:55As future development goes, can can
29:57continues to the west.
30:00You know,
30:02so, that and and the idea that there's
30:06nothing in the 2025 bond issue to
30:08improve the roads out here. Well, this
30:09development didn't exist or they didn't
30:11know.
30:12>> [music]
30:12>> So, if you don't know, you you can't
30:15plan.
30:17The other part is that I don't recall
30:18that we've done a whole lot of
30:20uh upfront infrastructure building
30:23before the rooftops. So, [clears throat]
30:26rooftops come first and development and
30:28street
30:29improvements come after.
30:32>> Mr. Box, did you have something to
30:33>> it is my application. So, David Box, 525
30:36Northwest 11th. I do want to say in our
30:38application, we say uh that the property
30:40will utilize public water and public
30:43sewer. So, we do state that in our
30:44application. Of course, there's no way
30:46to develop what we propose in the next
30:48item without the availability of public
30:50water, public sewer. So, understand that
30:51yes, it's a different world today than
30:54perhaps when the comp plan was drafted,
30:55but the extension of those public
30:57services are what will allow for our
30:59development to move forward.
31:02>> Okay. Thank you.
31:04Uh I do have one person signed up to
31:05speak, so I'd like to hear from him, Mr.
31:07Garrett Powell.
31:20>> Good morning.
31:21Good morning, chair commissioners.
31:24Uh Garrett Powell, 7801 North Frisco, uh
31:27Yukon, Oklahoma.
31:30I got quite a bit to get through, so if
31:31you will let me, I'm just going to read
31:33from this uh for the sake of time, and
31:35then I'm happy to answer any questions
31:36afterwards, so.
31:37My name is Garrett Powell, I'm a
31:38geologist specializing in subsurface
31:40flow and hydrodynamics. My family, we
31:42live downstream of this property, just
31:44across the road, uh just across Frisco
31:46there or Wheel Shire there.
31:48And we're concerned about many of the
31:49unaddressed factors uh up to this point,
31:51not the least being potential
31:52groundwater pathways towards neighboring
31:54wells or other stream systems.
31:57I oppose removing the agricultural
31:58preserve and changing these 705 acres
32:00from rural low to urban low, as we
32:02described or as was described in the
32:04October 2026 report.
32:07And this isn't brought opposition to
32:08every possible use of private land. It's
32:10a question of whether the city should
32:12authorize urban intensity where the
32:13evidence for protecting existing
32:16families is still not in place.
32:18Plan OKC policy SU-14 calls for
32:21concentrating development where
32:22infrastructure and emergency services
32:23have capacity. SU-44 and SU-45 protect
32:27rural scale and character.
32:29Along with that, policy G9 addresses
32:31sensitive environmental areas.
32:33As you just heard, your staff still
32:34recommends denial. Why should we change
32:36the city's plan to fit the developer
32:38rather than require the development to
32:40fit the city's plan?
32:41The developer sure has agreed to fund
32:43sewer and water
32:45that was described to us in a community
32:48uh
32:48outreach.
32:50Um and this is approaching something
32:52like $10 million and I acknowledge that
32:53is a large commitment. But installing
32:55utilities for new houses
32:57does not by itself establish my concern,
33:00safe roads, emergency response,
33:01downstream drainage, or protection of
33:04existing drinking water that us families
33:05out there already already depend on.
33:08For instance, using the 705 acre
33:10footprint, it's simple calculation, but
33:12it's
33:13um you can calculate that a simple 1-in
33:15rainfall event would equate to about
33:1619.1 million gallons falling onto that
33:19site.
33:22That's not
33:23uh that's rainfall, that's not runoff of
33:25course, but still the numbers are big.
33:28Adding grading, compacted soil, roads,
33:30pavement, roofs, concrete drainage, all
33:32these things change where that water
33:34goes and importantly how fast it gets
33:36there.
33:37A natural a natural drainage channel
33:39across the proposed development um
33:42So coming from there then crosses my
33:43family's land, this creek.
33:45Um and this this creek receives
33:47everything that happens upstream. So
33:49during construction, exposed soil
33:51uh can deliver sediment-laden runoff
33:53contaminations and who knows what else
33:56um
33:57uh through that that system. Worse yet,
34:00once this uh land has been occupied and
34:02houses built, the lawns, roads,
34:04commercial areas, all these things will
34:06be adding reoccurring pesticides,
34:07petroleum residues, and other pollutants
34:09to our groundwater sources.
34:12Now detention, they do address detention
34:14may manage peak discharge discharge, but
34:17it does not necessarily manage the
34:18pollutant loading itself, runoff
34:20duration, or the channel erosion that
34:22occurs downstream as a result.
34:26This simply doesn't need to pass, but
34:27even if it does, we need a full
34:28build-out and construction phase
34:29analysis that extend downstream through
34:31our property and beyond to the North
34:32Canadian.
34:35Under their own example of 2,400 home
34:38lawn care scenario, Oklahoma State
34:40University's 2017 guidance along with
34:42Law and Colleagues 2019 household survey
34:45gives a midpoint estimate of about
34:4710,800 lb of nitrogen would be applied
34:50to this property annually.
34:53That's fertilizer application sure not
34:54aquafer load, but it's still enough
34:56however to justify evaluating whether
34:57infiltration, water quality and
34:59contamination transport, evaluating
35:02these things before approval.
35:04Now let's get to traffic. The Institute
35:06of Transportation Engineers 2021
35:09detached house rate suggests that this
35:12many houses would approximately add
35:1323,000 weekday vehicle trips in this
35:17area alone. That's every week or across
35:195 days the weekdays, 23,000 additional
35:22trips out here.
35:24Uh distributed across that road work.
35:26As as was mentioned just now and you saw
35:28in the pictures, Wilshire has many blind
35:30hills.
35:31Narrow pavements, no shoulders, school
35:33buses, my nieces nieces get on the bus
35:36right after a blind hill after Frisco.
35:38It's terrifying every morning for my
35:40mis- my brother and sister-in-law.
35:42Um and this is all in a posted 50 mph
35:45zone.
35:47In my former uh protest, I showed you a
35:50vehicle that ran off the road onto our
35:52our neighboring property and into a
35:54pond. That was earlier in January.
35:56I didn't even have time to update my own
35:57speech. Just last Friday a car ran
35:59through Frisco and totaled it into uh
36:02coming over a blind hill, ran into the
36:04Frisco ditch. It's about a 7-8 ft drop
36:06there and totaled it causing back up and
36:08more dangers right there at Frisco and
36:10Wilshire.
36:11>> 30 seconds remaining.
36:12>> I'm sorry.
36:13>> You have 30 seconds in your time left.
36:14>> to hurry. I'm sorry.
36:16Um
36:19Yeah, so where's the demonstrated
36:20capacity to add uh
36:22add this for traffic safety? Yukon's
36:24April 2026 water supply plan identifies
36:26the North Canadian alluvial groundwater
36:28among its preferred future potable
36:30options and it already document
36:32documents nitrate concerns. So I'll call
36:34you back to the the nitrogen loading
36:35that I
36:37mentioned early on.
36:39Repairing systems, it's already been
36:40mentioned by your your
36:42own staff here that many habitats exist
36:45out here.
36:46>> Please wrap it Please wrap it up. You've
36:48got Your time's up.
36:50>> So in short, us residents, we can't
36:52write $10 million checks to get water.
36:54Once they contaminate this,
36:56I can I can run through the map here and
36:57I will when I hop up again, but within
36:59less than a year, if you're within a
37:01couple hundred yards, you're
37:01contaminated. We can't afford to get
37:03water ran to us. We can't pay these high
37:05amounts, so anyhow, I appreciate your
37:07time. Happy to answer any questions.
37:09>> All right. Thank you, Mr. Powell. Any
37:11questions for Mr. Powell?
37:13All right. Thank you.
37:17That was That was the only one I had
37:19signed up on the on the on this item,
37:22so.
37:26>> On the Frisco Road, we understand the
37:28the state that it's currently in. We've
37:29had discussions with the council person.
37:30We're going to explore options to
37:32perhaps have a some sort of joint effort
37:34with the county. We understand we can't
37:36develop what we want until a solution
37:37for Frisco has been reached. This This
37:39is a very long-term development and so
37:42what the world's going to look like when
37:44we're ready to start moving dirt
37:45probably very different than it looks
37:46now. So we're trying to be thoughtful in
37:49our planning process given the size of
37:51this and given the ability to bring
37:53sewer and water, we think that this will
37:54allow for
37:55the the proper expansion of urban
37:58services in the area.
38:04>> Any comments, questions from
38:07commission members?
38:09>> What is the time frame, Mr. Box?
38:11>> I'm sorry?
38:12>> What is the time frame?
38:13>> Of total build-out?
38:15>> Well, I mean, can you give us sort of an
38:17idea of when it would start?
38:18>> Uh I mean, several years. I mean,
38:21even if we were to move forward with the
38:23recommendation today, we're talking 6
38:25weeks before council. We have no plat
38:27application before you. Even if we had a
38:29preliminary plat, you're still looking
38:31at 18 months if that were approved. So,
38:33you're looking at several years before
38:35we were to even start development of the
38:37site.
38:40And perhaps we can talk about more like
38:42we understand that the size of this may
38:44dictate donation of land for a school,
38:46perhaps donation of land for a fire
38:47department, donation of land for a
38:49police station. Um
38:51we're happy to work hand in hand with
38:52the city and the the council person for
38:54this area to make sure that this
38:55development is appropriate for the area
38:57and has all the necessary services. But,
38:59this is a long-term development and it's
39:02probably years before you see the first
39:05stage of this move forward.
39:15>> I mean
39:17from my perspective, I guess,
39:19this is some of the hardest part of what
39:22we do. Um it's been a long time since
39:25the comp plan was drafted uh with
39:28respect to development of this part of
39:29Oklahoma City. Um
39:32I I'm generally very deferential to
39:35staff with respect to comp plan
39:37amendments, but I think that
39:41the development of this area is so
39:44foreseeable.
39:45Um there are obstacles to it. I think
39:48it's going to take, you know, someone
39:50with a
39:51a a serious plan and uh you know, the
39:55ability to carry it out to see that uh
39:59through it just just to see it through
40:01the obstacles that it's going to take to
40:02make it possible.
40:04Um we think we want people to present us
40:09with these long-term plans for big
40:10pieces of property, big chunks of it. I
40:13And I I I
40:14this is what this is. It may not be
40:16exactly what ends up being there. We're
40:18not that far along yet, you know? But,
40:21um
40:26I I I don't think it makes any sense for
40:28us to sort of stick our head in the sand
40:31and say that this all is all stay, you
40:33know, agricultural and rural. That's
40:35just
40:36not realistic. Um
40:39I I think we need to be cautious about
40:41looking too far into the future. You
40:43don't have to look that far in the
40:45future to see this area developing. So,
40:49my two cents.
40:51>> I And I agree with that wholeheartedly.
40:53I think that
40:56you know, this is a large parcel of
40:58property. There's a really large PUD
41:00that's in Ward 8 that's was done in
41:031999. It's still being built out today.
41:07There's been multiple other PUDs within
41:11that PUD to make refinements. So, this
41:14isn't the final product of this by any
41:15means.
41:17I also believe that
41:20a large parcel under one PUD can create
41:24a good program, a good project, and
41:27community. And that's why I'm for doing
41:30this development in in this type of
41:33way and area.
41:36Even though it is very far from,
41:38you know, the central part of Oklahoma
41:40City, it's still within the city
41:42boundary. So,
41:44it
41:45needs to be built.
41:47>> And it's really if you looked at a
41:48broader map, we're only about maybe 2 or
41:503 mi uh to the south is I-40. And, you
41:53know, you have that large chunk of land
41:54that the city has acquired for whatever
41:56that ends up being. Um so, you're not
41:59too terribly far removed from I-40 and a
42:01lot of the stuff that's going on in that
42:03corridor.
42:03>> Yeah. We're 6 mi from the turnpike, 3 mi
42:06from Highway 34.
42:08It's really not that far out, even
42:10though it seems to be
42:12in a rural area. And Ward 8 was really
42:15rural when in 1999 when that got
42:17approved.
42:22Okay, anything else?
42:24>> I would just say that
42:26at first blush I was very convinced by
42:29the reasons not
42:30Is it not on?
42:31>> There you go.
42:32>> Can you hear me? Okay. At first blush I
42:35was very convinced by the reasons not to
42:37do it, but I do like the large size of
42:39it that I think can provide continuity.
42:42And then I was also I was surprised by
42:44the lack of opposition. Um I do
42:46definitely appreciate hearing from
42:49you know, the gentleman that was here.
42:52Um
42:53I'm not sure how
42:57convinced I am by some of the arguments,
42:59but um
43:02you know, I'm frankly just very
43:04surprised by the lack of opposition and
43:06that makes me think that we should look
43:09to who owns the property.
43:10>> Yeah. Well, I think we'll we'll hear
43:13from more on the actual on the zoning
43:15case.
43:15>> Sure.
43:16>> Yeah.
43:16So.
43:27So.
43:29Okay. Well, being Ward 1, um you know,
43:33we do we do have some very rural uh
43:36pieces of Ward 1.
43:38Um
43:38and I you know, I don't know the exact
43:40numbers, but I mean you get out you
43:42start getting out west of the turnpike
43:44and there's a lot of Ward 1 out there
43:45and it it's pretty it's pretty remote,
43:47but you've got people
43:49um you know, that don't have you know,
43:52their their basic daily needs. Um if
43:56they're if if they work in the city,
43:58they can you know, they're coming to and
44:00and from the city um daily and and have
44:03access to that, but if if they're not
44:05working in the city, they've got a
44:06they've got a ways to go. Um and I think
44:10this is an opportunity um you know, for
44:14for more commercial and retail
44:15development uh to generate more
44:18commercial retail development out that
44:20way that'll that'll give them some of
44:21those daily needs um
44:23and and quite frankly sales tax revenue
44:25for the city in order to be able to do
44:28that development of of uh roads and
44:30streets and utilities. So,
44:33um
44:35it's it's it's kind of a reach, but I
44:37don't I don't think it's it's
44:38necessarily um a bad thing. And again,
44:41this is this is going to happen over 20
44:43years. So,
44:45uh I don't think it's
44:47I think we'll have the opportunity to to
44:49monitor it and and make sure that it
44:52doesn't uh
44:54go too quickly. So,
44:58Okay, so I think we're we're ready for a
45:00motion
45:02uh on this item.
45:03>> Okay. Um and I appreciate everyone's
45:05thoughts on it and I will make a motion
45:07to rec- or to approve CPA 2600011.
45:11>> We have a motion from Commissioner Noble
45:14to approve the comprehensive plan
45:17change.
45:19Seconded by Commissioner Powers. Please
45:21cast your votes.
45:26>> Thank you.
45:26>> And that item is approved. Now, we'll
45:28hear the zoning portion, item 22.
45:32>> Item 22's related to the previous item.
45:35It's PUD 2152,
45:37an application to rezone 14101 West
45:41Wilshire Boulevard from the AA district
45:43to PUD 2152.
45:45>> Once again, David Box, 525 Northwest
45:4811th Street. This is the companion item.
45:50So, this [clears throat] is a it's a
45:51large-scale PUD. It's approximately 705
45:54acres.
45:55Uh when we filed this, there was a lot
45:58of protest letters that we had come in.
45:59So, So did have a community meeting.
46:01We've actually had two of them now.
46:02Um at the first community meeting, we
46:05had a PUD that would have allowed for 48
46:07excuse me, 40-ft lots
46:09almost throughout. Um it became clear
46:12that that was not acceptable. Whether or
46:14not they accepted it and see they we
46:15proposed now, perhaps not, but at a
46:18minimum 40-ft lots was a was viewed as
46:21as a problem. And so we made changes.
46:23There were some discussion about tracts
46:24one and three where we proposed
46:26commercial. A lot of the uses that we
46:28had were were viewed as objectionable.
46:30So what we did was we went back. We
46:32committed to have another meeting.
46:34Um made changes, came back, had another
46:36meeting last week or the week before
46:39where we showed them the the removal of
46:41various commercial uses.
46:42And now the smallest lot width we have
46:45is 50-ft. So in the PUD we now have a
46:48minimum lot width of 50-ft. We have kind
46:50of a varied amount of lots in tract two
46:52and tract four is more traditional R1.
46:54And then when you get to tract five,
46:56it's more larger lots. And in fact at
46:58the west and north portions of tract
47:00five where we adjoin that AA, we provide
47:03for a third acre lot. So um kind of some
47:06of the discussion we had at the last
47:07item.
47:09We do believe this is the proper way to
47:10do it when you have a developer like
47:11this that has the ability to go acquire
47:14this much land. It allows for a
47:15long-term forecast of what this area is.
47:18It allows for proper planning from both
47:20schools as well as the city for roads
47:22and police and fire. Um it's going to be
47:25a long time before this thing is is
47:28done. And so it allows for all parties,
47:30including those people who live in close
47:31proximity to understand what the future
47:33is going to look like. Uh we believe
47:36that with the extension of water and
47:37sewer,
47:38um
47:39the land changes significantly. Um the
47:42the nature of the area changes
47:43significantly. May be viewed as bad by
47:45some, but it also allows proper
47:47forecasting. And as as the chair said,
47:49it allows for planning of commercial,
47:51planning for sales tax revenue. So
47:54with that, um we think we have a PUD now
47:57that is going to be something that
47:58long-term will be a value to the western
48:00part of Oklahoma City. In the staff
48:02report, there are four technical
48:04evaluations.
48:05Um, on TE1, we we can't agree to that.
48:08We believe that what we've done through
48:10the PUD itself in modifying the lot
48:12sizes is appropriate after we've
48:14modified to no 40-footers. We agree to
48:16TE2. We agree to TE3. And we agree to
48:20TE4, but we we want to state that um, at
48:23the end of the sentence say prior to any
48:25final plat acceptance uh, immediately
48:28adjacent to Frisco Road. So, we agree
48:30that Frisco Road has to be, uh, fixed.
48:33It cannot be We can't develop our site
48:35in a manner that we want to develop it
48:36with Frisco Road being like this, but we
48:38also uh, acknowledge that we can't go
48:40out there and fix Frisco Road now. It's
48:42going to be a longer-term discussion
48:43with the city and perhaps the county.
48:44So, we would propose TE4 to read Frisco
48:47Road must be improved as part of the
48:48development construction plans in
48:50accordance with the city of Oklahoma
48:51City paving standards prior to any final
48:53plat acceptance immediately adjacent to
48:56Frisco Road right-of-way.
48:58With that, I'm happy to answer any
49:00questions.
49:05Um, we do not agree to TE1. We agree to
49:07TE2 as written, three as written, four
49:09as read by me.
49:23>> Okay.
49:24Uh, I have four signed up to speak if
49:26you're ready to hear from them.
49:28Okay. We'll start with Heather
49:30Fairbanks.
49:38>> I am Heather Fairbanks. I live at 8500
49:40North Richland Road on the far west side
49:43of this, um, proposed change. Um, my
49:46family and I just bought the property 3
49:48months ago
49:49because we searched for 18 months for 5
49:52acres in the country where we could have
49:54animals.
49:56We literally searched for 18 months and
49:57at no point in that time were we at a
49:59loss for finding a possible place to
50:01live in the area. We lived in El Reno.
50:03We were driving into the city. We wanted
50:04to be a little bit closer but still live
50:06in the country. And we specifically
50:07chose that. I mean as you heard from the
50:09city staff earlier, the the area out
50:12there is not ready um and I'm not sure
50:14that we will be and I just I've really
50:17wanted to make that known. Like we
50:18searched very specifically for this kind
50:21of a property. The agricultural
50:22character is really important to us. We
50:25we have animals. There's animal
50:26husbandry. There's noise. There's you
50:28know, we have neighbors that raise
50:30birds. We have uh guard dogs. We have
50:33guns going off. I mean like this is not
50:35living in the city. We moved from the
50:37city specifically to a place like this
50:39so that we would be able to have the
50:41lifestyle that we want. And and now
50:42we're going to have to move out and and
50:44and I realize that you think that it's
50:45coming that way but but there's a whole
50:49bunch of as you saw agricultural land
50:51all the way around this that's not being
50:53built out. It feels like the only person
50:55in here that's going to make the money
50:56is going to be the developer and it I
50:58mean like that's that doesn't make sense
50:59for all of the homeowners that are
51:00surrounding this whole area in 5 and 10
51:02acre plots. So, thank you.
51:04>> All right. Thank you, Ms. Fairbanks.
51:08It's
51:09uh Resenda Ross.
51:18>> I I'm Resenda Ross. I live at 9900 North
51:21Frisco Road
51:22in Yukon
51:24and I don't know where my house is on
51:26there but I do know we live on the
51:28closed
51:30part of sec- of Frisco Road.
51:33It's closed and we don't have animals.
51:36We don't have cattle, anything like
51:39that. We saved our whole lives and
51:41worked our whole lives to build this
51:43house and we built the house of our
51:44dreams. We love the house and we grow
51:47wheat. So, we are agricultural. I like
51:50the wheat field. I like the wildlife.
51:54And I understand the city is going to
51:56have to move, but this is
51:58it's too dense. It's too dense.
52:02What they're proposing
52:04the the housing is just it's too small.
52:08It's there's too much of it.
52:10And obviously I have not prepared a
52:13statement.
52:14And I really don't know what I was going
52:17to tell you when I came up here except
52:18I'm adamantly opposed to it. Cuz I can
52:21see the wildlife disappearing out there.
52:24I can see the wheat that we grow
52:26disappearing out there and I don't want
52:28that to happen.
52:29Thank you.
52:30>> Thank you, Ms. Ross.
52:35Um
52:36Carla Rayburn?
52:44>> My name's Carla Rayburn. I live at 14549
52:47West Britton Road. It's the light 10
52:49area
52:51on the left side right where it says
52:53Oklahoma city limits.
52:55I feel like we were all kind of misled
52:57on when we should speak because you've
53:00already approved moving from agriculture
53:03to the pod. So, I feel like everything
53:06we have to say now is contradictory cuz
53:09the part that we're protesting has
53:11already been approved.
53:13I've lived at the area for 50 years. 50
53:17years. There's no response time for
53:20police. We once had someone robbing us.
53:23We called the police. They said, "Okay,
53:26we're on our way." 2 hours later, no
53:28police. We called back. "Oh, you'll just
53:30have to come to our station and fill out
53:32a report." No one ever came. No one ever
53:35came.
53:37I went to the station and filled out a
53:38report. What good did that do? None.
53:40Zero. The people were in our property.
53:43In our property. If someone was
53:44murdering me,
53:46how what what is that going to do? Oh,
53:50you're dead, but come and fill out a
53:52report at our station. The station is at
53:54Hefner Road.
53:56122nd and Hefner Road.
53:59That is um 17 miles from my house.
54:03Uh there's no police time. We have a
54:06rural fire department that's volunteer a
54:09volunteer fire department. Thanks for
54:11ignoring me.
54:14Um
54:16there's a waterway across the property.
54:18There are
54:19uh oil and gas pipelines across the
54:21property. There's a high voltage power
54:23line across the property.
54:25There's wildlife. There's trees. There
54:27are ponds. Everyone surrounding that is
54:29on water wells. Every single person.
54:32We've been held to the standard of you
54:34have to have 5 acres or 10 acres. We've
54:37all held to that standard.
54:39Um our water wells are going to be
54:41trashed from all the runoff. There is no
54:44way to preserve a water well whenever
54:45you have that many houses stuck in
54:47there.
54:48Um the the infrastructure for the
54:50electrical is already overwhelmed.
54:52Surrey what Hills already has brownouts
54:55because they can't handle the
54:57electricity.
54:58Um
55:00there was a fatality wreck at my corner
55:03um 2 months ago.
55:051 hour for Oklahoma City police to
55:08respond.
55:09A fatality. A person laying dead in the
55:12ditch. And it took an hour for the
55:14police to get there.
55:17We um
55:18our schools are overwhelmed. Yukon, it
55:21is the fastest growing area out at
55:23Surrey Hills. Yukon schools cannot keep
55:26up. And I know they say we'll donate
55:28property for a school, but
55:31where are those students going? Our high
55:33school is overcrowded. Our intermediate
55:35schools are overcrowded. Our elementary
55:37schools are overcrowded. So, are you
55:39building a pre-K through high school
55:41school on the property? Are you funding
55:44that? Who's funding that?
55:46Um
55:47our roads are terrible.
55:51The city does not support this. I know
55:53it's already been voted. So, I'm
55:56speaking
55:57for nothing, apparently.
55:59>> Well, that's that's not true. The comp
56:01plan is a separate item. It just
56:04gives us the ability to hear this item
56:07with more information. So, this this
56:10item is being voted on separately with
56:13different factors. So,
56:15it's not decided.
56:17>> It I mean, if you look at the area, it's
56:20potentially spot zoning because of
56:24there's no We're at the end of the line.
56:26There is no other place to expand. We're
56:29it. Yukon is on the south.
56:32There's nothing to the west cuz that
56:34goes out on the Colvin Steven limits.
56:36Um the east is already done.
56:40So, there's no place to expand. You're
56:43going to put 705 acres of housing in the
56:45middle of
56:47of
56:48a farm community. That's not even farms
56:51anymore because there's there are
56:52housing additions with five, 10-acre
56:54lots.
56:56Um
56:59And then there's going to be two
57:00commercial zones in there, too, that
57:02it's in the middle of a farming
57:03community. Except it's not farming
57:05because Surrey Hills is coming with
57:06houses, but that's over there, and then
57:10it's 10 acres, 5 acres, 2 acres, 1 acre.
57:13They're they're large lots all the way
57:15around us.
57:16There's also a Civil War veteran and his
57:18wife buried on the property. So, I want
57:20that in the record in case this does
57:23Well, when it does pass that that he
57:25gets found and relocated. His
57:28his remains are on the property in the
57:30commercial section. I don't want a
57:32parking lot on top of him.
57:35So, I want that on record that he is
57:37there. Um there's a cemetery next to the
57:40property.
57:43Um
57:46and I just, you know, would like to know
57:49Yes, they're going to pay for the
57:50utilities to come there, but can
57:52Oklahoma City support that? Do they have
57:54the water wells to support that water
57:56that needs to come there? Do they have
57:58the sewer that needs to support the
58:00sewer that's coming off of there? It's
58:04It's
58:05overwhelming what's happening out at
58:07Surrey Hills right now. And
58:11if this passes, I would ask the lots be
58:15bigger sized so that we can
58:18not be overwhelmed in our our water
58:20wells.
58:22And I would ask that it be a long-term
58:24project. So, our schools, our fire, our
58:28police can all catch up with what's
58:30happening in our area. Thank you.
58:33>> Thank you, Ms. Rayburn.
58:35Uh and then lastly, we'll hear from Mr.
58:37Powell again.
58:48>> Gary Powell, 7801 Northwest Co.
58:51Frankly, I'm kind of disappointed the
58:52ease with which y'all just passed that
58:53previous one. Um
58:56It was mentioned two community meetings
58:58have occurred.
59:00That is true. Attendance there in
59:01protest were quite heavy, actually. The
59:04building was nearly full.
59:05And one thing I do not want to mistake
59:07is our attendance for our consent. And
59:09I'm betting any of you to come to these
59:11meetings and listen. There wasn't a
59:12single person there happy. They reduced,
59:14okay, 26 to 2,400.
59:178%? Well, that that's not changing much.
59:19They're checking a box for you, and we
59:21all know it.
59:22Member said rooftops come first. How
59:24many more deaths need to happen?
59:26Well, if we don't have your your own
59:29um
59:30Plan OKC issue dash 14 prioritizes
59:32infrastructure and emergency service
59:34capacity. That capacity is not there.
59:36You want rooftop rooftops to come first.
59:39How does that make sense?
59:41I'm going to skip through a lot of the
59:42hydrologic stuff. Apparently that
59:44doesn't matter, but I'll just let you
59:45know that within a year any of us within
59:47that quarter mile section are likely
59:49run.
59:50Developers
59:51sure they're they're going to do the
59:52absolute bare minimum from an
59:54environmental standpoint, but that
59:55doesn't our our water table is upwards
59:57of of tens of feet shallow in this area.
