2026-11-05 - Board of Adjustment
Summary
Built from the agenda listing and the auto-generated video captions (about 2 hours 13 minutes); names, street names and figures may be misheard. No minutes posted yet.
- Only three board members were present (a quorum was reached after a long wait), so every item needed all three votes. The meeting was called to order about 9 minutes into the recording. The electronic voting panels and the room's internet were down, so votes were taken by voice or after a login refresh. All votes below were 3-0.
- Minutes of the October 15 meeting were received with a correction.
- Continuances: case 16376 and case 16412 were deferred to December 3, 2026 (first read as December 5, then corrected); case 16397 was continued to January 7, 2027. No consent docket.
- Approved with no change: BOA No. 16402 Meadow Vista Drive Lot Coverage Variance (split R1 and R1ZL lot near a creek; about 54.6 percent coverage; gutters to the yard suggested) and BOA No. 16410 Cambria Court Rear Yard Setback Variance (10 feet to 5 feet for a pool, with homeowners association and neighbor support).
- Approved with a limit: BOA No. 16377 Northwest 68th Street Front Yard Fence Variance for a brick privacy wall, capped at 6 feet instead of 8 feet. Planning staff (Sarah Welch) explained the SPUD's street-side fence rules cannot be varied.
- Continued: BOA No. 16406 Southwest Graham Boulevard Dumpster Placement Variance to December 3, so the applicant can get adjacent-owner consent, consider private polycart service or relocate the dumpster, which could trigger a parking variance and re-notice.
- Nine Avalon setback variances (cases 16384 to 16392) approved: see Avalon at Oklahoma City Phase 1 and Phase 2 Setback Variances. Seven front-yard cases require one additional canopy tree on the lot and the two side-yard cases require gutters to the street. Board members discussed how after-the-fact variances make setbacks nearly optional and asked about required lot surveys.
- Home-sharing special exceptions, all approved (see Home-sharing special exception): BOA No. 16196 Northeast 15th Street Home Sharing (first set to the back of the docket until staff confirmed no bookings since October 2; one year); BOA No. 16369 Glen Clove Place Home Sharing (required to use a professional management company; the owner objected, then accepted rather than defer); BOA No. 16382 Northwest 17th Street Home Sharing and BOA No. 16383 Plymouth Court Home Sharing (three-year renewals); BOA No. 16394 Northeast 14th Street Home Sharing and BOA No. 16395 Northwest 114th Street Home Sharing (three-year renewals, nine guests); BOA No. 16396 Northwest 35th Street Home Sharing (garage apartment, three guests, one year); BOA No. 16398 Southeast 163rd Street Home Sharing (guest cap cut to nine, one year); BOA No. 16399 Tall Oaks Drive Home Sharing (one written protest from the neighborhood association, seven guests, one year); BOA No. 16400 South Douglas Avenue Home Sharing (three years) and BOA No. 16401 Pine Creek Avenue Home Sharing (nine guests, one year).
- Stated board practice: two guests per bedroom plus one, quiet hours generally 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. (8 p.m. where there is a pool), vehicle caps and no on-street parking, first-year exceptions run one year, timely renewals three years, and renewals should be started about six weeks ahead.
- Other business: the board approved its 2027 hearing schedule. A board member said he may be leaving the board before the legislative session and December may be his last meeting; board members thanked him for his service.

14:27>> I

14:33Um, next, would there be any continuous
14:36requests from the public?
14:39Seeing none,
14:43we go to the consent docket. There isn't
14:45anything on the consent. So, we'll start
14:47with items requiring a separate vote.
14:49>> We have item number one, case number
14:5116402, is a request of David Box of Box
14:55Law Group on behalf of Steven Milton and
14:57Lisa K. Milton for a variance to maximum
15:00lot coverage located at 15404 Meadow
15:03Vista Drive.
15:04>> Good afternoon. David Box, 525 Northwest
15:0611th Street here. On behalf of the
15:08applicant, U. The nature of this request
15:10is to allow an expansion of the existing
15:13home. This is a bit of a unique one. I
15:15don't think I've seen one like this
15:16where the single family lot is actually
15:18split by two zoning designations. Uh
15:20it's an older PUD and portion of the PUD
15:23has R1, a portion of the PUD has R1ZL.
15:25And for whatever reason, when it all got
15:27platted, some of these lots have a
15:29portion of both of those. And the issue
15:32it creates is R1 has a 50% lot coverage.
15:34R1 ZL has no maximum lot coverage. So,
15:37um, we're kind of erroring on erroring
15:40on the side of caution by getting the
15:41variance. Uh, the total lot coverage in
15:44the after is 54.6 inclusive of all
15:47paving. And so, we think it's a minimal
15:50uh amount. It's a you got a unique
15:52situation in addition to what I
15:53mentioned about the split designations.
15:55You also have a creek in the in the back
15:57that really cuts at a pretty sharp angle
15:59thereby reducing um kind of our
16:01available lot to build on. So my client
16:05has spoken to all the people around him.
16:08If you looked at a broader uh section of
16:10this neighborhood, you'd see many other
16:12homes that are similar size after our
16:14expansion. So happy to answer any
16:16questions, ask for approval.
16:21What is the the total square footage of
16:25the new area? It says 705 in the report,
16:29but there's 782 that's listed.
16:32>> I don't know what that is. In the after,
16:33we're 54 point and some change. Um, and
16:37so again, R1 is 50% lock coverage. R1
16:41has no maximum lock coverage. So, I
16:43think it's a modest variance.
16:54It's an It's an increase the house size
16:56like 24%.
17:01It's It is strange. It's got a 5ft set
17:05back on one side and the other side. So,
17:09it looks like it was built R1ZL
17:11>> again.
17:12>> I tried to look it up also as far as on
17:13the zoning map. Couldn't figure that
17:16out. There was a question as to whether
17:18or not we even needed a variance. Um
17:21because if if you designated it as R1ZL
17:24then of course we don't need a variance.
17:26Um to avoid permitting problems it was
17:28suggested that we come seek the variance
17:30just to ensure that we're able to move
17:31forward through the permitting process.
17:34That's kind of why I was leaning towards
17:37approval for for me. Didn't like it if
17:40it was all single family homes and it
17:41was that much of a variance and this
17:43small of a lot. But some of these are
17:45built look like R1ZL and some of them
17:48aren't. And
17:48>> I know
17:50>> the only problem I have with it is the
17:52R1ZL while it doesn't specify a cap on
17:55the coverage, it does specify distances.
17:57And so it's an indirect way to get to
18:00the same thing that you just can't cover
18:02the whole lot. I'm going to support it
18:04simply based off of the fact of its
18:05close proximity to the creek because
18:07that's what the coverage ratio is there
18:09for is the amount of imperous surface
18:11and the amount of runoff as a result of
18:14that. I don't think that's a big issue
18:15because it should likely drain directly
18:17towards that creek. I will say just to
18:21be on the safe side, my recommendation
18:23is that you have your client um add
18:26gutters to this add-on and have the
18:29gutters rather than directed to any
18:31underground system that may or may not
18:32be there, go directly to the actual
18:37yard, which would be east of where this
18:40is built. That way, it just has some
18:42chance to absorb some of that additional
18:44runoff as a result of that that new
18:45structure being there.
18:47>> I'm not going to make it a requirement.
18:48Yeah, I'll pass it along.
18:49>> Yeah.
18:53>> All right. I'll make a motion then to
18:54approve case number 16402 for the
18:56purpose that it meets the statutory
18:58requirements for the requested variance.
19:01>> Second.
19:02>> We have a motion and a second.
19:09Just all in favor vote.
19:12>> Oh, okay. Did you guys get a panel?
19:15>> No.
19:25Thank you.
19:26>> Hold on.
19:29>> Oh, well,
19:30>> we do need actual vote.
19:31>> Vote. Yeah,
19:35>> I see. Passed.
19:36>> I see that. [laughter]
19:38I didn't remember voting.
19:41>> I knew I had you.
19:42>> It's meant to be.
19:45I felt good about it.
19:47>> So, Mr. Uday
19:49>> I
19:49>> Mr. Ceda
19:50>> I
19:51>> Mr. Noble
19:51>> I
19:52>> knew it.
19:54[laughter]
20:04Item number two, case number 16410 is a
20:08request of Brock and Mackenzie Pitman
20:10for a variance to the rear yard setback
20:12in the R1 district located at 15701
20:15Cambria Court.
20:17>> Uh good afternoon, Brock Pitman, 15701
20:21Cambria Court. I'm the applicant and
20:23then I have uh Mr. Wilkey here as well
20:26um representative today. Uh we're
20:29looking for a variance on this property
20:31um to build an outdoor living area and
20:35and pool area. Um it backs up to a green
20:38belt area, so there is some additional
20:40space back there, but uh the property
20:43line kind of restricts the uh the area
20:46to to put in the pool and and then we
20:48also have a drainage ditch there on um I
20:51believe the east side and then the west
20:53side uh we we have a neighbor's got a
20:56wall that is built up there. And so
20:58based on the uh kind of the alignment to
21:01get in a pool in an outdoor living area
21:04um kind of the setback from uh from the
21:06back of the property line, I think
21:08that's 10 ft. And we're looking to
21:10reduce that to a 5-ft variance in order
21:13to just be able to to place this
21:15structure in there and and have the pool
21:17kind of aligned appropriately. And so
21:19that would be our request today that the
21:21variance be uh allowed and passed that
21:25way we can get a pool permit to install
21:27this kind of outdoor living space.
21:32Thanks. And I'll say no one did sign up
21:34to speak on this. Uh I will also state
21:37that there was no objection to the
21:38variance
21:40um from any of the other departments
21:42including the development services or
21:44the utilities department.
21:46And this is one where we've granted
21:48variances to the neighboring properties
21:49as well.
21:50>> Both sides, I believe. Yeah. They all
21:52live in that same situation where the uh
21:56the sewer easement's right behind their
21:58houses and I they're they're still like
22:0015 feet away from where the sewer line
22:01is.
22:03>> And you all have uh no issues or
22:06objections from neighbors, the HOA,
22:08everybody's on board.
22:09>> That's correct. So, we've got approval
22:11from the HOA. Uh so, they they gave us
22:14that approval last week. I've spoken to
22:16the neighbors um kind of around on the
22:18east and west side. They're both in
22:20agreement. I believe as uh as Mr. Noble
22:23pointed out, I think both of them
22:24already have variances relating to their
22:26pool and then also an outdoor fireplace
22:29that was installed. One on the east and
22:31one on the west. And so we just ask the
22:33same here for this particular property.
22:37>> I'm good with it.
22:40>> Anything else? Ready for a motion?
22:43>> Yeah.
22:45Make a motion to approve case number
22:4716410 for the purpose that it meets the
22:50statuto requirements for the requested
22:51variance.
22:54>> Second.
22:55>> We have a motion and a second.
23:01[snorts]
23:02>> Okay.
23:02>> Mr. Uday.
23:03>> I.
23:04>> Mr. Ceda.
23:05>> I.
23:05>> Mr. Noble.
23:06>> Hi.
23:08>> Approve. Three to zero.
23:14And it passes.
23:15>> All right. Thank you.
23:16>> Thank you. May we be excused?
23:19>> Yes.
23:20>> Thank you.
23:20>> Item number three, case number 16406, is
23:23a request of Jamie Kimble on behalf of
23:25Capitol Hill Apartments LLC for variance
23:28to the dumpster placement regulations
23:30located at 404 Southwest Graham
23:33Boulevard.
23:35>> Good afternoon, chairman and board
23:37members. Thank you for the opportunity
23:38to present on our request for variance.
23:40Could you could you start with your name
23:41and address, please?
23:42>> Yes. Um, my name is Jamie Kimell. I'm
23:45representative for Capitol Hill
23:46Apartments located at 400 Southwest 404
23:50Southwest Grand and 3809 South Hudson
23:54Avenue.
23:56Uh, appreciate the opportunity to be
23:58able to request this variance for the
24:00placement and service location of the
24:02trash dumpster.
24:04Um the current situation
24:07with the the building building
24:10configuration and the layout of the
24:12property that's existing since the the
24:14construction in 1932
24:17is not conforming to current uh
24:20requirements and previously the
24:23apartments had individual trash
24:25receptacles. That's no longer being done
24:27by the city. So we we have a dumpster.
24:30There was a uh in the plan submittal
24:32process there was an approved location
24:34and we discovered uh once we had the
24:36dumpster placed that the existing
24:38overhead utility lines the swing arms of
24:41the dumpster actually would hit it
24:43because the angulation and location
24:45where where it would be. So um the
24:49revised location we have up here is a
24:52straight approach from Hudson.
24:54uh it comes straight in, but we are
24:56encroaching in that location into the
24:5925- ft uh clear clear setback from the
25:03uh west property line.
25:07>> So, we're asked we're able to maintain a
25:0912T6
25:11clearance from the existing residence
25:13that's there.
25:15>> Thanks. Nobody had signed up to speak.
25:19Anything from the members?
25:22So, we're just cutting the 25 foot set
25:24back to
25:26>> in half. In half. Yeah.
25:29>> Against an R1 property. I'm not in favor
25:31of this. I believe there's other
25:33alternatives that you could do to
25:35alleviate this situation. And that would
25:37be to hire a private carrier with
25:40polycarts
25:43>> with with polycar that we said.
25:44>> Yeah.
25:47I'd support it if you can get
25:48documentation that that that homeowner
25:50immediately to the west would would be
25:52okay with it.
25:55>> I I would support it if you can get
25:56documentation from the homeowner
25:58immediately to the west. Okay.
25:59>> That they're okay with it. So if you
26:00want to continue it for for that I I
26:02can't speak for either of them. You
26:04heard Don's comments, but
26:06>> Okay. I will reach out to that property
26:09owner.
26:10>> Yeah. So, and also reach out and see
26:12about doing private poly carts too just
26:15in in to alleviate the situation alto
26:17together.
26:18>> Yeah, we we looked into that. I mean,
26:20that's what we had when we came out
26:22there and started the property, you
26:23know, the the rehabilitation we did. Um,
26:26and of course those went away because
26:27they stopped servicing. Um, and that's
26:29for multif family. This is these are
26:31existing apartments, not multif family
26:33property. And so we were told that we
26:35were not allowed to use uh carts that
26:38the city would no longer service.
26:40>> Right. You can't get you can't get the
26:41city to do it because it's above it
26:44triplex. And so they are multif family
26:48quadlexes or apartments, but there are
26:50private carriers that will do a polycart
26:53service same way the city did it.
26:55>> Okay.
26:56>> And that would alleviate your situation
26:57with the dumpster. dumpster to me and
26:59far as from zoning it's it's very
27:01important where that dumpster is located
27:03and for the future uh the existing
27:06tenant or owner next to you might
27:08approve it or approve of it but then
27:11sell the home and it's just becomes
27:13problematic and it's
27:15pretty big nuisance to have a dumpster
27:18that close to a private residence
27:20>> is this
27:22there's one other alternative I had
27:24looked at
27:25>> I can pass
27:44Have you already verified whether or not
27:47this will affect your parking minimum?
27:49>> It I don't know that it will. I I have
27:51not verified that.
27:54I'm unclear. I I believe that we we have
27:56two in excess of what we are required
27:59currently.
28:01So it would eliminate those two parking
28:03spaces, but the angulation we would be
28:06able to get it in there. We just have to
28:07encroach further over um into the our
28:10parking spaces to avoid the overhead
28:13power lines.
28:28While they look at this, is there anyone
28:30from the audience who would like to
28:31speak on this case?
28:35None. So
28:39Sarah, did you see this?
28:41You want to just to look at it
28:43>> as far as from process.
28:45>> It's almost an identical location. It's
28:47just shifted over and I've got to do it
28:49on an angle,
28:50>> you know,
28:50>> but you wouldn't don't even know you
28:51have to have a variance with that. So
28:53that's why I was
28:54>> right look at that.
28:56>> I just I just don't know if that uh u
28:59affects the parking the parking
29:01minimums.
29:02>> Might need a variance for that.
29:04>> Yeah.
29:10We have 21 currently plus 21 plus plus
29:13an 8A. So we we would drop down to 19
29:16plus an 88.
29:17>> How many how many units? How many units?
29:19>> 12 12 units total.
29:22>> Is it two per currently?
29:28>> How many?
29:29>> My understanding was it was 1.5 but I'm
29:31not certain.
29:32>> I was going to say hey. Hi. I'm Sarah.
29:34They're well chai planning department.
29:36Yeah.
29:37>> Um uh how many bedrooms are in each
29:41unit?
29:42>> Are they onebedrooms or
29:43>> they're they're I think they're
29:45twobedroom. Two and three. I think
29:47they're two and threebedroom.
29:49>> Um like a forplex requires two per unit.
29:52And then for multif family, it's going
29:54to be either 1.5 or two per unit
29:56depending on how many bedrooms. So the
29:57one bedrooms would be one and a half
29:59parking spaces. And then um two for if
30:03it was a twobedroom.
30:04>> So it' be two. So we we're actually
30:06we're actually not compliant as it sits
30:08right now.
30:10>> But it's legal non-conform.
30:12>> Yeah, currently. But if he was to get a
30:15variance on the parking, then you could
30:16place the
30:18dumpster there. So
30:20>> do you want to consider having a
30:21granular variance on the parking? Are
30:23you more on board with that than
30:26>> I think you defer it and then they come
30:28back and
30:30with an either or.
30:31>> Yeah, the the the item is for the
30:33dumpster. So, I don't know if we can
30:34really
30:35>> switch the whole application,
30:36>> move it all over to parking when that's
30:37not what the application
30:39>> we have to renotice,
30:40>> right?
30:44>> Reotice.
30:49>> Okay. So, if you want to if you want to
30:51choose and select that location for the
30:54dumpster, then I guess you could just go
30:56on and then we could renotice you for
30:59our next hearing under the same case
31:01number but for a different variance.
31:03Okay.
31:03>> Which would be to the parking if you
31:05need it. There's some ways to get
31:06credits for parking with additional
31:08landscaping and things like that.
31:09>> Can you email that to me?
31:10>> Yes.
31:11>> Okay, that'd be wonderful.
31:12>> So, defer to the 3rd of December and
31:15we'll work it out between now and then.
31:17I want to make sure first. So if we
31:19notice then
31:20>> he loses his ability to bring back a
31:22case for the dumpster where it currently
31:24is because that's a separate issue
31:26requiring a separate notice. So that
31:28means that the
31:29>> that that's almost in the identical
31:30location where it was approved in the
31:32plan. We're just having to shift it over
31:34into the next parking stall because the
31:36angulation you can't get it plus the
31:38overhead lines. So we'd have to shift it
31:40over and have to be on an angle for the
31:41truck to physically come in to actually
31:43get it because there's an existing power
31:45pole that's there that they'd hit
31:48>> complex. I believe he's going to use the
31:50same fencing.
31:51>> So no new fee.
31:54>> Yeah. But when he comes back, we're only
31:56considering the dumpster place. We're
31:58not consider We're considering the
32:00varian parking.
32:01>> So there won't be a issue of bringing
32:03back documentation. Now, we were we were
32:05already approved with this plan with the
32:07number of parking installs that we have
32:09there currently. And I know this goes
32:10back to the dumpster thing.
32:11>> Um,
32:12>> so which is less. So, I'm not sure if we
32:16>> get together and
32:18>> tell us what's wrong or right.
32:20>> I just want to make sure he doesn't
32:21agree to this. He gets continued
32:23renoticed and then he determines that he
32:25needs to put it in the location he
32:27initially showed us. And it's like,
32:28well, we got to continue and renotice
32:30again, right?
32:31>> Because it's no longer a parking
32:32variance. We're back to the setback
32:33variance.
32:35>> Could be.
32:38>> Why don't you all go ahead and defer it
32:39and we'll figure it out.
32:40>> Okay.
32:42>> All right. Motion to continue case
32:45number 16406 to the December 3rd, 2026
32:50meeting.
32:51>> Second.
32:52>> The December 3rd or 5th?
32:54>> December 3rd.
33:01We have a motion and a second
33:06>> Mr. Uday
33:07>> I sa
33:09>> I
33:10>> Mr. Noble
33:11>> I
33:16thank you.
33:23Item number four, case number 16377,
33:26is a request of Skyler Teague of Simply
33:29Modern Development LLC of Variance
33:32Defense Regulations located at 801
33:35Northwest 68th Street.
33:48Skyler Teague, Simply Modern
33:49Development.
33:53So, we're just trying to basically put a
33:57privacy fence in the front of the home.
34:00Um,
34:02directly east of the property is a
34:04abandoned storage facility and there's
34:06homeless people currently living in
34:08there. So, what we've had a lot of
34:09issues is breaking in the home, uh,
34:12stealing new construction materials. So,
34:15we're trying to basically just have a
34:17little security and privacy on the front
34:19of the home.
34:21So,
34:23the um proposed fence would be uh there
34:27would be a parkway in the front, 7 foot,
34:294ft sidewalk, and then a three-foot
34:32planter and then the fence.
34:36It would create basically a front yard
34:37for the house. That'd be 16 ft.
34:45Okay, thanks. Um, nobody had signed up
34:48to speak. Is does anyone want to speak
34:49on this case? No.
34:53Anything from the members?
35:00It's an interesting location and spot.
35:03Small lot. There's a lot of frontage
35:06along Chartell. And then the
35:10the garage is on the north end and then
35:12the front door is on the south.
35:13>> Yes.
35:21>> The site plan I passed out has it's a
35:24little updated so it has kind of a
35:26couple examples um of kind of what we're
35:30trying to accomplish with this and
35:32they're actually not as far off the road
35:35as this would be. So, and then plus
35:37Chartell's really there's no traffic, so
35:40it's not like a hightra area such as
35:431701 North Klein is a very hightra area.
35:48Um, so my thoughts would be there's not
35:51a lot of traffic going down Chartell. It
35:54wouldn't be the site issue.
36:04What type of fence is it?
36:05>> Um, it was going to be a brick privacy
36:09wall to match the home. Um, so it's not
36:12going to be see-through other than the
36:14gate. Um, the main reason we didn't want
36:17it to be see-through again is the
36:21transients, the homeless people continue
36:23to walk around the property and uh,
36:26stare in the front windows and try to
36:28break stuff and cut the wires. And so
36:30we're having a lot of issues with that.
36:32And unfortunately the police department
36:35can't really do much for us with that
36:38over there. They just say, "Well, I
36:40mean, we can take them, but they're
36:42going to be back in 4 hours type of
36:44situation."
36:46And the storage facility, they're just
36:50they're living there, you know, on North
36:52Shortell on the east side of the road.
37:00So, I've got a question for staff. Am I
37:02understand am I understanding correctly?
37:04Are we not able to vary the portion of
37:07the fence that fronts Chartell?
37:10>> Um Sarah Welch, Planning Department. Hi
37:12again. Hello.
37:12>> Hi.
37:13>> Um no, you cannot because the way the
37:16spud was written is it is all the fence
37:19regulations are per code except that up
37:21to a six foot allow is allowed on
37:23Chartell. And I don't recall why it
37:25would normally be 6 to 8 feet.
37:28So, we had a discussion about how
37:30there's
37:32six is the max on Chartell. The front
37:34yard fence is normally a 4 foot max
37:36see-through. And so, the only variance
37:38that he can seek today is the front yard
37:40fence
37:41>> because that's code and not
37:42>> because that's just per code. Yes. He's
37:44seeking a variance to the chapter 59
37:47fence regulations for front yard.
37:52So basically what's allowed in the PUB
37:55here is more stringent along Chartel
37:57than what's in code which is why we
37:59can't
37:59>> Yes. We we would consider the fence
38:01regulations along Chartell to be
38:03individually negotiated through that
38:05spud and not eligible for a variance.
38:07>> That makes sense.
38:18We've actually developed this entire
38:20street and we're in pretty good with all
38:22the neighbors. So, everybody I kind of
38:24ran it by everybody and everyone seemed
38:26to be on board with it on the street and
38:28said, "Sounds great. I wouldn't have a
38:30problem with it." So, all the neighbors
38:32um weren't opposed to it. So, anything
38:35progression for the street is
38:37everybody's on board.
38:42And are you having the the issue on
38:45Chartell or you having the issue on
38:4668th?
38:47>> So we're having the issue on Chartell um
38:51across the street. So east side of the
38:54road. Um and I think they're coming from
38:57the railroad tracks and then just coming
38:59to the storage facility and camping out
39:03there. Um but the issue is the home. Um
39:08it's just all glass in the front
39:10basically. So you can just walk up and
39:12see straight in. And
39:15um it's listed right now for on the
39:18market for 1.2 and I think it's going to
39:21kind of be an issue.
39:25>> Well, I ask you that because I mean 8
39:28foot seems really imposing. That being
39:31said, I definitely understand the
39:33situation that you're up against. Is
39:36there a chance that you could get by
39:37without having the 8 foot along 68th
39:39Street?
39:40>> I wouldn't be opposed to if we could do
39:43an adjustment amendment to six foot. Um
39:46the main thing is we just want a privacy
39:49fence and a walk gate to the house. So
39:52it just adds a little security and then
39:54also kind of gives you a front yard.
39:59>> Could it be a hybrid? You mentioned
40:02going with brick. Could we go up brick,
40:034 foot, and then the remainder uh be
40:07something that could be seen through?
40:10>> The aesthetics, the the goal with the
40:12fence was almost privacy, so you
40:15couldn't really see through it. Um
40:20I would prefer it to be a privacy fence.
40:23Um so it kind of creates a courtyard for
40:26the front of the home. Um, kind of like
40:28the example I've got, um, on 144
40:31Northeast 14th Street, there's no
40:34visibility through that fence. Um, so if
40:38you have kids, children, dogs, whatever,
40:41um, they feel safe and secure in the
40:43front yard.
40:45>> And it's not really tying into any fence
40:47along Chartell anyways, right? It's
40:49tying into the house.
40:51>> Correct. It would tie into the corner of
40:53the house.
40:55Well, architecturally almost look like
40:57it's part of the home.
41:00>> Do you have the rendering of how it
41:02would look? Was it attached to the
41:04rendering?
41:07>> We don't we don't really have a
41:09>> Oh, I think it was submitted with the
41:11initial plot plan.
41:21I'll show you real. So this is
41:40see that far.
41:44>> And even in the rendering, it kind of
41:46looks a little bit more like a six foot
41:47tall fence than an 8ft tall fence.
41:51>> Again, my
41:54with the architectural style in there
41:56and the other houses that you've built
41:57along that.
42:00>> I can get behind it.
42:03>> What' you say?
42:03>> I can get behind it. As much as I don't
42:06really like that much of it, it's goes
42:09with the architect architectural
42:10character in that area. So,
42:13>> I agree. If I think if you can get to
42:15six foot, if you'll do six foot around,
42:17I'm 100% on board. I mean, it makes
42:20perfect sense what you're trying to do.
42:22um trying to keep the the interaction
42:25soft with anybody who is interacting in
42:27the area, going to visit somebody else,
42:28but also maintaining security and safety
42:30for the folks that live there. I think
42:32that that'd be a good balance.
42:35>> I'd be more than happy with sixfoot. I
42:38think that would accomplish the same
42:39goal.
42:46>> Anything else? No. Make a motion to
42:49approve case number 16377
42:51for the purpose that it meets the
42:53statuto requirements for the requested
42:55variance with the modification that this
42:57will be a 6ft fence rather than an 8ft
43:00fence.
43:01>> Second.
43:02>> Did you guys get panels?
43:04Did you get voting panels?
43:06>> No.
43:06>> Refresh you will probably.
43:09>> And for the motion a maximum of six
43:11feet.
43:11>> Maximum six foot tall.
43:18No,
43:23>> you got one.
43:26>> Mr. Uday
43:27>> I
43:28>> Mr. Ceda
43:29>> I
43:30>> Mr. Noble
43:31>> I
43:32>> It's 300.
43:37>> So I went all the way back out back into
43:39the meeting and
43:40>> signed out.
43:42I didn't even sign out, but I just got
43:44back into the where you clicked on this
43:46meeting and it worked.
43:48>> Thank you.
43:49>> Thanks.
43:50>> It was approved.
43:52Marcus.
43:55>> Item number five, case number
43:58>> 16384 is a request of Nathan Joseph on
44:01behalf of Avalon at Oklahoma City Phase
44:042 Limited Partnership for a variance to
44:07the front yard setback located at 1200
44:09Northeast 27th Place.
44:16>> Uh good afternoon, Nathan Joseph.
44:19residence is 3221 Kates Avenue Northeast
44:22in Brook Haven, Georgia. Um, I have
44:27nine uh variance requests for similar uh
44:32similar sideyard or front mostly front
44:36and sideyard setbacks in uh
44:40community that I developed um not far
44:42from here. Uh it's 80 single family
44:44homes uh that I developed with the
44:46low-income housing tax credit program.
44:48These homes are all rented to households
44:51earning 30% 50% and 60% or less of the
44:55area median income at rates that are no
44:58more than 30% of their income. Uh when
45:01we finally got it done, the development,
45:04all 80 units leased up in less than a
45:06month. Uh I say when we finally got it
45:08done because
45:10um unfortunately we had a contractor
45:13that uh
45:16did not do their job. Uh and eventually
45:18we had to terminate them, finish
45:20construction on our own. We've been
45:22spending a lot of time cleaning up some
45:24uh items that uh that were done
45:27incorrectly. These are are some of them.
45:29We took over after the pads report. Um,
45:33nine pads were poured uh by the previous
45:37contractor uh within within or without
45:41outside the setback um on the sides and
45:44on the fronts and fortunately in this
45:48instance we own the entire neighborhood.
45:50Uh
45:52so immediate neighbors don't uh don't
45:56take immediate issue with it and the
45:59development serving a good purpose in
46:01the community. There's high demand
46:02leased up in a month and we'd appreciate
46:05your consideration.
46:11>> Okay, Nathan, you were the only person
46:13to sign up on this. Is there anyone else
46:14in the audience who'd like to speak on
46:16this case?
46:18With that, we'll hear from you guys. So
46:20these are all minimum
46:24distance setback variances, but this
46:27happens a lot in culde-sacs and on
46:30corners where they didn't measure from
46:33the
46:35least place. And this one is 2.6 foot of
46:39variance
46:41to the front yard set back.
46:45>> But these will all be slightly
46:47different.
46:47>> Every one of them.
46:56I know we had discussion about this
46:58before. Uh not specifically about this
47:01exact case, but just
47:04the idea that
47:06>> they're not surveyed.
47:07>> Yeah.
47:08>> If they were surveyed prior to you, you
47:10you'd you'd know a little bit more,
47:12right? It's not a requirement. It is
47:16requirement to sell them which is when
47:17they get found out.
47:23>> Oh, sorry. Did someone
47:29>> Can Can you come up to the mic?
47:31>> Yep.
47:35>> Did you fill out a white sheet?
47:37>> No, I didn't.
47:38>> Okay.
47:39>> I need to fill out a white sheet. just
47:41for just for contact, but no, you can
47:43just come up, state your name and
47:45address.
47:45>> Okay. My name is Grace Coleman and I'm a
47:47resident at 1129 Northeast 28th Street
47:51and I've got four, I guess,
47:54announcements or notices of what is
47:57called yard and bulk regulation
47:59concerning the front yard setback
48:02building line. I have no idea what that
48:05is. So, there's a set back from the
48:09property line that they had to set the
48:10house back. [music] And these are all
48:12adjustments what you'll hear in these
48:14next nine cases, but they're adjustments
48:16to how far the setback was. And so,
48:19they're all a limited number of
48:22distances
48:24outside the setback. This one's 2.6
48:27foot. Too close to the street.
48:28>> Too Oh, too close.
48:30>> Just this far.
48:31>> Okay. So, but I I didn't quite
48:33understand why that would have any
48:35bearing on in the area that I where I
48:38live.
48:38>> It you're just noticed because you're
48:40within the area of notice. So, that's
48:43why you're noticed.
48:45>> Oh.
48:45>> It doesn't really have a lot of bearing
48:47on your property at all. It's just this
48:49individual property and all the next
48:50cases for this property.
48:52>> Oh, you're sitting back.
48:54>> So, so he has to receive a variance
48:56because he's built this far too close to
48:58the street.
48:59>> Oh, okay.
49:01That's just what I wanted to know. I
49:03didn't know what was going on. That's
49:05why I'm asking. And I think someone else
49:07>> Well, mine is the same thing. It's one
49:09of one of the problem.
49:10>> If you want to, you could speak from
49:11just speak with start with your name and
49:13address.
49:14>> Um, my name is Walgreens busy. And you
49:17want my physical home? The physical
49:18address? Uh, 1413 Montichello Court. And
49:22my case number is 16389.
49:25So we uh
49:27>> you can wait to wait to speak on that,
49:29but they're they're all this the exact
49:30same.
49:31>> Okay. So it doesn't affect our property?
49:33>> No, it just has to do with the
49:35individual lots that are on that map. Go
49:37back to this map that you can see.
49:39>> Uhhuh.
49:40>> So all of those individual lots are
49:42requesting a variance because they're
49:44just built outside the setback just
49:47varying distances.
49:49>> Okay. Doesn't affect us?
49:50>> No.
49:51>> Okay. Thank you.
49:53>> Yeah. and and staff had advised uh when
49:55this when this came to light that the
49:58board had expressed some frustration
50:00with this uh happening elsewhere. So,
50:03like I said, I am apologetic and it's
50:07just something that I'm trying to like I
50:09say, clean up from the prior prior
50:11contractor.
50:12>> And like I said, you you don't have to
50:14survey prior to construction, but you do
50:17have to have a survey prior to selling
50:18it. So,
50:20>> it's problematic that it's built before
50:22you know that it's outside of a setback.
50:25>> Did we ever hear back on that request? I
50:27know that we asked that to be looked
50:29into.
50:30>> Yeah, it's been still being discussed
50:33and talked about. Obviously, there's
50:35some push back from the development
50:37community about doing individuals lot
50:40surveys
50:41because it's on the builder, but
50:46>> I mean,
50:46>> it would solve this problem for sure. it
50:49would I mean we can deny the variances
50:50and then they can demolish the buildings
50:52and start over
50:55which is the alternative. So I
51:01>> that that's the issue every single time
51:03that this has come up as we continue to
51:05do it and as long as we take this
51:07approach that we're taking.
51:10You could argue that these setbacks
51:13become optional because it's going to be
51:15granted at board of adjustment
51:17simply by virtue of the fact that the
51:19building already exists and they're not
51:22going to deny a variance request on
51:24something that's already constructed.
51:32Noted.
51:46I mean, it's been a while since we we've
51:48had one of these, I feel like.
51:50>> Yeah.
51:50>> But
51:51>> I go to a lot of meetings for the
51:52development community. I'll be sure to
51:54bring this back up into consideration.
51:57>> It looks like most of these are front.
52:00>> think they're
52:01>> front setback issues.
52:03Um,
52:06I don't know what you all's appetite is
52:08for considering like a
52:11increased landscaping requirement to
52:13kind of make up for that.
52:37I think they are all front yard
52:40>> except two for a side.
52:41>> Yeah, I thought there were a couple were
52:43side and
52:48>> and if I may it there you can see
52:50they're all on the
52:52>> on the culde-sac and the curves because
52:54we measure that set back and the
52:56frontage at the setback line. So, I
52:59think on these curved lots, you can see
53:01they're all going to be
53:04on some sort of bend.
53:06>> And a couple of the side ones, you'll
53:07hear in a minute, are really for things
53:09that we normally wouldn't even I think
53:11it's an abundance of caution that
53:12they're asking for variances on a couple
53:13of these. Um, I think the largest or the
53:17most setback is five feet. Is that the
53:19most
53:20>> For the most for the most part, they're
53:22they're they're over the setback line,
53:24but only a portion of the setback line.
53:26It's not like they were built over the
53:27entire, you know, front yard set back.
53:32>> But Marcus, to your point, an additional
53:34tree wouldn't be any bit of a problem
53:37for for me.
53:39>> Yeah. And and I will be clear like on
53:41this one, like it's I have much less
53:44problem with it. Mainly because they own
53:47the entire development. So, we're not
53:49we're not talking about um what a dozen
53:52or half a dozen homeowners may have to
53:55deal with. Um, so I do think that that
53:58works and and as Sarah pointed out and
54:01these are very small
54:03uh
54:04>> encroachments.
54:07I I think I'm mainly just speaking to
54:10the issue in general of like if we want
54:12to start implementing
54:15on on particularly on sideyards. I think
54:17it's a bigger issue because
54:19>> you could argue that there's a a fire
54:21safety consideration there and and maybe
54:23one of the things that we consider on
54:25that is um increasing uh the fire rating
54:31on those wall assemblies at least for
54:33the side where the on the side where the
54:35encroachment has occurred. So, if you're
54:38if you've got an encroachment on the
54:39sideyard, um maybe requiring a two-hour
54:43fire assembly or something like that
54:44>> and also runoff from the roof without
54:47gutter and and and I have I know in the
54:50past made them gutter it and capture it
54:53and put it to the curb
54:56just so you're not running off to the to
54:57the neighbor because these are five foot
54:59apart, five and five.
55:01>> Yeah.
55:10So for me, I mean, on the front yard
55:12setback one, I definitely think
55:14additional canopy tree would be minimum.
55:18>> I'm fine with that. It doesn't need to
55:19be anything dramatic. It's just
55:21something to acknowledge that we're
55:22trying to accommodate for it.
55:25>> Appreciate.
55:25>> I think right now it's one canopy tree,
55:28right? So it would just be two. One in
55:30front yard, one in the back.
55:34Yeah, no problem. Far superior to
55:38demolishing and rebuilding.
55:39>> I mean, you could tear it down if you
55:40want to. If you'd rather do that,
55:43>> I'll have the contractor pay for it, but
55:45I'd rather not have that fight.
55:47>> No.
55:49>> Anything else?
55:51>> No. I'll make a motion to approve case
55:52number 16384 for the purpose that it
55:55meets statuto requirements for the
55:57requested variance uh with the
55:59additional requirement of a canopy tree.
56:03>> Second
56:06>> motion and a second. Did you guys get
56:09panels?
56:09>> Yes, sir.
56:11>> Is that canomy tree in the does it have
56:13to be in the front yard or is there any
56:14specific
56:15>> I front yard backyard for me? I think
56:17when there's two trees that are mantro,
56:19we usually make one in the front, one in
56:20the back rather than just two in the
56:21front.
56:23>> I don't particularly have a problem with
56:25it, but I think if we're addressing a
56:26front yard setback, whatever the
56:28landscaping requirement should be should
56:29be applicable to the front yard. So, if
56:31they already got the requirement for the
56:34first tree to be in the front yard,
56:35probably makes sense to add the second
56:38one to the front yard or you could
56:41require something.
56:42>> Either way, Roberto, you made the
56:45motion. Could we say just one additional
56:47tree planted on the lot?
56:49>> Yes.
56:49>> I think because people are living there,
56:51so I didn't know how disruptive or if
56:54they'd have preferences.
56:55>> Either or.
56:57>> So
56:58>> Japanese
57:00>> one additional
57:02>> canopy tree
57:09and it passes.

57:51foot over.

57:59approach we just did.
58:03>> And I will just ask if anyone else
58:05wanted to speak on this case. No.

1:02:21Contractor built an AC pad in the

1:02:27consideration of a variance
1:02:38on this one. Is the house the house is

1:03:22>> So, there was there's not there's not

1:03:32>> Sorry.
1:03:33>> There's not enough space like so the the
1:03:35AC pad goes up against the house give or

1:03:39there's no way that he could have put
1:03:40it.
1:03:41>> Correct. Uh, we moved we moved it

1:03:46at 2.3

1:04:18You just can't get by it. The air
1:04:20conditioner unit, I'm sure,
1:04:24because it's in the setback.
1:04:28Gutter it.
1:04:31>> Gutter.

1:04:33>> Mm.
1:04:36>> I'm fine. And you can not have to pay to

1:11:04>> y'all agree that we had no activity
1:11:07which we have not had any activity
1:11:09online
1:11:11and there's still no activity.
1:11:40So I and I think this one your son came
1:11:44is that right?
1:11:45>> From Arizona.
1:11:46>> And I might have misspoken to him to
1:11:47take it down all the way off of Airbnb.
1:11:51And what I meant to say and will
1:11:53continue to say is that cannot do a
1:11:56short-term lease during the interim.
1:11:59Right.
1:11:59>> They haven't done anything,
1:12:01>> right? I know. I just wanted to make
1:12:03myself clear on that. It It's not that
1:12:04you need to take it down from Airbnb.
1:12:06You can do a plus 30. You just can't do
1:12:08less than 30,
1:12:09>> right?
1:12:10>> While we're
1:12:13while the case was being deferred
1:12:15basically,
1:12:15>> correct?
1:12:17>> Yeah, that's all by that. I just have in
1:12:19my notes just to verify um that there
1:12:22hasn't been any booking. So Sarah, you
1:12:24can check that on this one. That was
1:12:25all.
1:12:26>> Unfortunately, I cannot. We don't have
1:12:27internet right now in this chamber.
1:12:31>> I can tell you there hasn't been,
1:12:33>> but she's verbally confirming that.
1:12:35>> Yep.
1:12:41So, and I just wanted to go over the
1:12:44case just a little bit, and that was
1:12:47um for the application itself,
1:12:51I wanted to make sure that the the quiet
1:12:53hours got registered from 9:00 p.m. to
1:12:558:00 a.m.
1:12:56>> Okay.
1:12:57>> And that the maximum number of vehicles
1:12:59on the property be three with no on
1:13:01street parking. And the term would be
1:13:03one year.
1:13:05>> Correct.
1:13:06And one year from when? Today? one year
1:13:09from the board order when you get
1:13:10approval.
1:13:11>> Okay.
1:13:11>> And then a license.
1:13:14>> Okay.
1:13:14>> Would coincide with that.
1:13:16>> That's right.
1:13:18>> Right.
1:13:19>> One year from today,
1:13:21>> the date today
1:13:22>> for the special exception. And then they
1:13:24have to get a license. And when it's
1:13:26issued, it has one year.
1:13:28>> Okay.
1:13:30And then also start the process prior to
1:13:33like give them two months just to start
1:13:36working it out rather than a few days.
1:13:40Make sure you can get it in and on doc
1:13:42on the docket.
1:13:50>> You good?
1:13:50>> All I can do is continue this one.
1:13:54The notes that I have are from the
1:13:56previous meeting that uh he he had
1:13:58bookings but his explanation for the
1:14:00bookings was that he had some things in
1:14:01the queue that he needed to adjust and
1:14:04we didn't have any evidence of that
1:14:05then. I think Sarah did a check and he
1:14:08decided that was the reason why the
1:14:09bookings was there. So without it I'll
1:14:13need to have verification of that. So I
1:14:14won't deny it but we'll have to have
1:14:17that
1:14:19and she won't.
1:14:21>> Yeah it's not up. I did try to find it.
1:14:23It's not on Airbnb, but
1:14:31what happened in the past? I don't know.
1:14:34You know, when it went down.
1:14:39Were you having to come from out of
1:14:41state? I don't remember.
1:14:42>> No, I'm just coming from my law firm
1:14:43where I work downtown.
1:14:45>> Okay. I just don't want to make it much
1:14:47harder on you. But I'm I'm fine.
1:14:50>> I don't think she needs to come back. I
1:14:51don't think that we need to make it
1:14:53burdensome, but I want to be consistent
1:14:54with what I said.
1:14:56>> Right.
1:14:56>> So, what would you do? Send an email
1:14:59>> or
1:14:59>> No, you would have to do anything,
1:15:01>> right? So, it'll come back up before the
1:15:03board. You don't even need to be here to
1:15:04represent it if you don't want to. But
1:15:06if there hasn't been any bookings, then
1:15:08we would move forward
1:15:11today. You have to have all three of us
1:15:14to vote positive to get it.
1:15:17Then
1:15:19>> so nobody shows up and then y'all call
1:15:22out this number and then it gets passed
1:15:24>> and then we get notification
1:15:27>> as well.
1:15:28>> I mean
1:15:28>> we don't need you to show we don't need
1:15:30you going to be here. [laughter]
1:15:33>> But then we don't get the license for
1:15:35however whenever the next meeting is.
1:15:37>> You wouldn't get it until the board
1:15:39order wouldn't go out until after we
1:15:40approved it. So after the next meeting
1:15:42>> and when's the next meeting? December
1:15:433rd.
1:15:44>> Correct. So, it's we have 30 more days,
1:15:4628 more days to get approved.
1:15:53>> And that's because there's no internet.
1:15:56>> Well, that's because there's no way to
1:15:57document it. If you have
1:15:58>> correct because there's no internet for
1:15:59you to document.
1:16:00>> Well, no, you can you can document it.
1:16:02You have the tools that Airbnb provides
1:16:04you to show show the stay. So, if you
1:16:06can document it, then I'm happy to
1:16:07approve it.
1:16:09Do you want me to bring you and show you
1:16:12the documentation from Airbnb that
1:16:15>> that there's been no bookings? Yes,
1:16:16ma'am.
1:16:17>> Okay. And that would be what? To email
1:16:18it to you or to bring it back to you?
1:16:20>> No. Do you
1:16:21>> We can put it to the back of the docket
1:16:23today
1:16:24>> and she can actually go find this out.
1:16:26>> She has to leave here though to do it.
1:16:28>> So, do I need to wait for that?
1:16:30>> Yeah.
1:16:31>> I mean,
1:16:32>> do you have do you have the app?
1:16:35>> No, but I can put it on if you'd like.
1:16:38So, you want me to wait till number?
1:16:42>> Yeah. Seven.
1:16:42>> It won't be very long.
1:16:45>> We're trying to not make you come back
1:16:46is what it sounds like right now.
1:16:48>> It has to go through the city
1:16:49>> on my lunch and it's a very long lunch.
1:16:51>> I asked.
1:16:53>> Okay. I was going to
1:17:00>> Okay, we Yep. We're going to push it to
1:17:05the back of the docket. I think that
1:17:06would be best for you and just to try to
1:17:08get this cleared up.
1:17:09>> Okay,
1:17:16>> let me go to the next case.
1:17:17>> Okay. Um,
1:17:20item number 15, case number 16369 is an
1:17:23application by Felicia Pringle Durant,
1:17:26trustee of the Felicia Michelle Pringle
1:17:28Trust to allow home sharing located at
1:17:306001 Glen Clove Place.
1:17:34Good afternoon. Thank you for hearing me
1:17:38today. Um, I came or I didn't come. I
1:17:42had a representative come um October 5th
1:17:46and you asked me to come back. Um,
1:17:51you asked that I have a management
1:17:54company when I come back. So, I have a
1:17:57management company. But I also wanted to
1:18:00correct the record [clears throat]
1:18:02because it was stated that I had listed
1:18:06the property for over a year. I think it
1:18:09was stated without a permit and that was
1:18:11not correct. Um the property was listed
1:18:15long-term
1:18:17um all of 25
1:18:19and till April of 2026.
1:18:26So,
1:18:28um, and then I wanted to ask if the
1:18:31board could kindly reconsider
1:18:35requiring me to have a management
1:18:38company. Um,
1:18:40I do have a management company. Um, I
1:18:44own some rentals in Oklahoma City, also
1:18:49in California and Florida, and I managed
1:18:52them all myself.
1:18:54and to turn it over to a local
1:18:57management company in my opinion just on
1:19:00my experience would be a mistake. I
1:19:03think I will have more problems if I do
1:19:05that. Um on Airbnb they offer something
1:19:09that's called autobooking.
1:19:12That means anybody can just book it
1:19:15instantly.
1:19:17And
1:19:18me as an owner,
1:19:21I ask to review every single booking
1:19:24that comes in cuz I want to know who's
1:19:27going to be in my home, what their
1:19:29purpose is, etc.
1:19:32Um, all of the properties or the two
1:19:34that are in Oklahoma City have five-star
1:19:38reviews with no code violations.
1:19:42Same for California. five-star reviews,
1:19:46no code violations. Um, the properties
1:19:49that I have here in Oklahoma consist of
1:19:53multif family, single family. I manage
1:19:56all those myself with no code
1:19:58violations. Obviously, they're not
1:20:00Airbnbs,
1:20:02but um I just feel that to turn it over
1:20:07and to be asked to turn it over when
1:20:10there haven't been any issues. I do
1:20:12acknowledge that for a short period of
1:20:14time um I inadvertently
1:20:18um did accept some short-term bookings
1:20:22and I take responsibility for that but I
1:20:25have taken steps to make sure that that
1:20:29does not happen again.
1:20:33>> Thank you. Um no one had signed up to
1:20:36speak on this case. Does anyone from the
1:20:38audience want to speak on this case?
1:20:41Seeing none, um anything from the board?
1:20:45And I'll start by saying that
1:20:51um you had a special exception prior to
1:20:54this. You
1:20:56>> I'm sorry.
1:20:56>> You did get a special exception in 2024.
1:20:59>> Yes, sir.
1:21:00>> And then it lapsed in in 2025.
1:21:04And so what made you then come back for
1:21:07a special exception again?
1:21:10So, um I had a I'll just give you I
1:21:15brought this. I know this is a lot, but
1:21:18um
1:21:20there was an issue. I had a long-term
1:21:23professor that worked at OU that stayed
1:21:27in the property the latter part of 25
1:21:30and she was supposed to stay till the
1:21:33end of
1:21:3426
1:21:36and they cancelled her contract
1:21:40I think midappril
1:21:42and so this property I haven't really
1:21:46gotten a lot of short-term requests
1:21:51um mainly It's been longterm, but I like
1:21:54to keep the license just in case like in
1:21:59this situation, she just unexpectedly
1:22:02this
1:22:03job just didn't renew. So, I keep it for
1:22:06that reason. But, um,
1:22:12and I provided the lease agreements. I
1:22:15didn't print the whole lease because it
1:22:17was like 78 pages, but I just printed
1:22:20like the first part so you could see the
1:22:24signature and that it was in fact under
1:22:26long-term contract. So, I just wanted to
1:22:28correct the record that I wasn't just
1:22:31running a mug with no permit that for
1:22:35all of 25 and 26 it was rented.
1:22:47Thanks. Uh, anything from the board?
1:23:25anything on the internet or anything?
1:23:28Sarah,
1:23:35>> I mean, I've been sicker on this. So,
1:23:38>> as you have um Sarah, I don't want to
1:23:42ask you to leave again, but it really
1:23:44would be helpful if we knew the last
1:23:46month's
1:23:48bookings on this case.
1:23:49>> Yeah, the property was not listed. Um I
1:23:52I that I wasn't here. I had a
1:23:54representative come on my behalf. A very
1:23:57trusted realtor was here and um he
1:24:01didn't really have all the information.
1:24:03So, I flew in today in order to be here.
1:24:06the property was removed um so I could
1:24:10be in compliance but I didn't have to
1:24:12remove it. I I think you meant maybe
1:24:14just adjust the but I took it off for a
1:24:17month
1:24:19>> an entire and that's why I was really
1:24:22wanting her to document it so that they
1:24:23knew I I did I watched the the board
1:24:26hearing from the last time just to
1:24:28refresh myself and yeah that's what was
1:24:30asked. I think also as a property owner
1:24:33from out of state that that we we do
1:24:37like to see property management over the
1:24:39top of it when we find that the
1:24:41properties
1:24:42maybe not managed to the standard that
1:24:44we would expect. and
1:24:48having the long-term lease in there
1:24:49probably made the adjustment to not get
1:24:52the special exception and then not have
1:24:54it
1:24:56licensed and permitted for short-term
1:25:00lease
1:25:02slip by from April till now. But
1:25:07>> no, it did.
1:25:08>> We did just request as as a board one
1:25:11more month to have no listings and then
1:25:14come back for
1:25:17um to hear the case again. That's what
1:25:20was was said.
1:25:21>> Yeah. No, it was taken down from the
1:25:24date that you requested that
1:25:26[clears throat] I take it down. So, it
1:25:27hasn't been up
1:25:29and I think the request was for me to uh
1:25:33obtain a local management company. But
1:25:37again, um I want to say that
1:25:42the reason why I don't have any code
1:25:45violations and the reason why I have
1:25:48five star reviews is because I do the
1:25:52work. I mean, it would be easy for me to
1:25:54just hire a management company and say,
1:25:56"Oh, let let someone else do it." But
1:25:59from my experience in doing this 25
1:26:01years, you better have somebody that you
1:26:05trust um that can um be available when
1:26:11there's a situation. Um I grew up in
1:26:15Oklahoma City. Um I don't live in
1:26:17Oklahoma City now, but I have family
1:26:19that's here. In your packet, the
1:26:22neighbor that lives directly next to me
1:26:25loves the house. And just a little bit
1:26:27of history on this house.
1:26:30Prior to me purchasing it, it was
1:26:33abandoned and there were numerous code
1:26:37violations.
1:26:39And when I bought the house, I
1:26:42completely renovated and all the
1:26:44neighbors were just completely over the
1:26:47moon. I have no issues. They all have my
1:26:49personal phone number and they call me
1:26:53if there's an issue, but Well, and I
1:26:56would say this in this neighborhood with
1:27:00a swimming pool, not having protests is
1:27:03means you are doing a very good job as
1:27:06far as managing it. And
1:27:08>> not that I know the number of short-term
1:27:10leases, but Sarah does now. So,
1:27:13>> yes,
1:27:13>> she can help us.
1:27:14>> Yes. On this episode of Who Wants to Be
1:27:16a Homeshare Host, we used our phone a
1:27:18friend lifeline. And uh on this I I have
1:27:22update on the previous item when you're
1:27:24ready, but on for 601 Glen Cove Place
1:27:27last rental was uh September 27th.
1:27:32>> Yeah,
1:27:35I figured you meant
1:27:37just adjust it, but I went ahead and
1:27:40just complied and took it down for
1:27:42>> Yeah. Sorry. I I did misspeak on that
1:27:44and I'm I've told myself for a month now
1:27:47to not say that and to say to take it
1:27:49down for 30-day and shorter leases. So
1:27:53>> guess my question is if we required a
1:27:56local management company. I'm not sure
1:27:59how the board feels about the request
1:28:01for not having one.
1:28:05>> Oh, you mean today having the owner
1:28:07here?
1:28:09Um, just to clarify,
1:28:10>> I think it was Marcus who actually
1:28:12requested that.
1:28:15>> I'm looking at
1:28:16>> your notes.
1:28:17>> Well, reviewing the actual transcript to
1:28:19find out exactly what transpired.
1:28:24>> And just from my recollection and
1:28:26watching it again, you you Roberto, you
1:28:29said that, you know, you wanted six
1:28:32months, but we both Marcus and I agreed
1:28:35to one and you said grudgingly yes.
1:28:41I can get past that that portion
1:28:43>> that one. Right.
1:28:44>> Right. The the management company
1:28:45management company is what
1:28:47>> which she does have a management company
1:28:48under contract right now.
1:28:51Um I mean I like the idea of management
1:28:54company with a with an out ofstate owner
1:28:55just because it's somebody that you can
1:29:01call and rely on quicker. Um, there's a
1:29:05lot of people that have had the next
1:29:07door neighbor say they would be willing
1:29:09to be that liaison. I I just, you know,
1:29:15you could probably get it. You don't
1:29:16have that with it with you today.
1:29:19>> I don't have what
1:29:20>> that the neighbor would would take care
1:29:21of that for you.
1:29:22>> Yes, there's a letter from the neighbor.
1:29:25She's lived there 50 years and she wrote
1:29:28a letter. it's in
1:29:29>> in the
1:29:30>> the index just saying how they're
1:29:33overjoyed in that neighborhood because
1:29:35like I said the history prior to me
1:29:38purchasing it in 22 was that it was a
1:29:41nightmare for the neighborhood and I I
1:29:43just want to push kind of push back a
1:29:45little bit on the management company
1:29:47that would be unprecedented
1:29:49um and I
1:29:52>> in what way?
1:29:53>> I mean maybe for you but not from us.
1:29:55So, this board has required a a
1:29:57management company multiple times on a
1:29:59mismanaged property that we did approve.
1:30:02>> And we have a management company
1:30:05representatives come all the time on
1:30:06behalf of their owners, whether they're
1:30:08here locally or they're out of state.
1:30:11>> So, it is it is very common here to do
1:30:13that.
1:30:15>> Right. So, I guess for me, having
1:30:19hired
1:30:21uh short-term rental management
1:30:23companies, my experience, I'm sure
1:30:26there's a lot of great ones,
1:30:29but they're not going to
1:30:34take the bookings individually.
1:30:39It's just gonna be a random whoever
1:30:41wants to book, it's gonna be on instant
1:30:44booking. And I just feel like
1:30:50I've put so much into the properties.
1:30:53They're like my babies.
1:30:55And I know that if I relinquish that
1:30:59control to someone else, I don't know
1:31:03what's going to happen.
1:31:05I don't. And as I was calling
1:31:10management companies here in Oklahoma,
1:31:14it it was difficult for me. Now maybe
1:31:18not someone else to get a management
1:31:20company, but for me it was very very
1:31:22difficult.
1:31:24And I just feel that to ask me to do
1:31:28that when I've to this point managed it
1:31:34without any issues and because of my 15
1:31:38years of experience with traditional
1:31:42rentals. Um, and I've tried I've turned
1:31:45them over to management company. In a
1:31:47perfect world, that would be the best
1:31:49scenario for me to just great I got a
1:31:52management company. let them do all the
1:31:54work, but you got to do the work. You
1:31:57got to be available. You got to take the
1:31:59calls. If you don't do that, especially
1:32:02if you're out of state, my experience is
1:32:06that's where the problems come in. So,
1:32:08I've built the relationships over the
1:32:11years. Um, like I said, I grew up in
1:32:14Oklahoma City and I have friends,
1:32:17family, just a network of plumbers,
1:32:22electricians,
1:32:24um, landscapers, pool service providers.
1:32:28I've built these relationships over the
1:32:30years um, so that I can be able to do
1:32:35what I do. So,
1:32:38>> no, you've convinced me. It's it's now
1:32:42Well, I'll just tell where I'm at. I am
1:32:43not willing to approve this if you don't
1:32:46decide to have a management company. And
1:32:48if that's the case, I would recommend m
1:32:50deferring [music] this to December 3rd
1:32:52when you have a larger group of board
1:32:54members.
1:32:55>> I do have two management company
1:32:58contracts.
1:32:59>> Okay.
1:32:59>> In that paperwork. So, I do I did come
1:33:02today with a property management company
1:33:05in place.
1:33:06>> Oh,
1:33:07>> so I did comply with the board's
1:33:09request. She just wants to get rid of
1:33:11them.
1:33:12>> No, I understand. I'm just saying like I
1:33:13I know that the request has been made. I
1:33:16cannot give my approval without you
1:33:19going forward using that property
1:33:21management company as part of the deal.
1:33:26That's how you get my vote today.
1:33:27>> And you need his vote today because
1:33:28there's only three of us.
1:33:30>> I'm sorry.
1:33:31>> I said and you'll need his vote today
1:33:32because there's only three of us. So
1:33:33there has to be three votes for any
1:33:35action to be taken on an item.
1:33:39So,
1:33:41>> and I'll also say this. So, the first
1:33:43time, and this is a new application,
1:33:46even though you had one in 24, it
1:33:47becomes a new application. Again, we
1:33:49always do state that the very first year
1:33:52for an application in a short-term
1:33:55special exception is a trial basis. And
1:33:58so, it all works. 10 months from now, 11
1:34:02months from now, you come back. It it
1:34:05it's on a renewal. and things can be
1:34:08different.
1:34:11>> So, let me just reiterate, like I said
1:34:13before, I understand what you're saying,
1:34:16but my experience
1:34:19having a management company here in
1:34:21Oklahoma
1:34:23may be very different from someone else.
1:34:26I was on the phone for four hours trying
1:34:30to get one management company to just
1:34:34call me back. I would love to have a
1:34:38management company here in Oklahoma.
1:34:41I've tried it numerous times
1:34:45and they just would not manage my prop
1:34:48property correctly. I had numerous
1:34:52problems.
1:34:55>> We have we have
1:34:58property management companies come
1:34:59before the board and we've gotten to
1:35:01know the people and that's what they do.
1:35:04So, for me to hear that you're having
1:35:06trouble finding one when we have them
1:35:10all the time, I think that to me that
1:35:13doesn't line up. I own rentals,
1:35:16long-term rentals here in Oklahoma City,
1:35:19and I still use a property management
1:35:21company cuz I'm not going to manage them
1:35:23myself. So, I I have a hard time hearing
1:35:28the argument that you're having trouble
1:35:31finding one for a short-term purpose.
1:35:33though that I've stated what I'm going
1:35:35to say. Otherwise, I'm I'm going to make
1:35:39a motion to continue and you guys can
1:35:40take this up in a month, which I'm not
1:35:42going to be here.
1:35:45I don't have any code violations. I have
1:35:49five star reviews on all of the
1:35:52properties in Oklahoma as well as
1:35:55California.
1:35:57And
1:35:59that
1:36:01you telling me that I have to have a
1:36:03management company
1:36:06for me
1:36:08is like saying
1:36:10I'm putting my property into someone
1:36:13else's hands and I don't know what's
1:36:16going to happen. And once I have a bad
1:36:19record on this property, say for
1:36:22example, I
1:36:25get a management company and they don't
1:36:28take the calls,
1:36:30I get code violations, and I come back a
1:36:32year later, I can't erase that record.
1:36:35It's there. and that could in essence
1:36:39prevent me from being able to have a um
1:36:44short-term rental here in Oklahoma City.
1:36:47And I can tell you I and I said this
1:36:50before, I would love to have a property
1:36:55management company. That would be easy
1:36:57for me to just hire somebody to handle
1:37:00everything and walk away. But that isn't
1:37:05I might not get the same result. I I
1:37:08don't think I will based on my
1:37:09experience. And I don't want to put
1:37:12myself in a position where we come back
1:37:14a year later and you're telling me you
1:37:16don't want to renew my permit because
1:37:19there's code violations. It's not going
1:37:21to matter whether it's the management
1:37:23company or if it's my fault.
1:37:28And that's what I'm concerned about.
1:37:29Like I said, I did comply. I took the
1:37:32property down for a month and I did I do
1:37:37have two management companies, but I
1:37:41don't know how that's going to go.
1:37:43>> I understand, but that's the only way
1:37:44you're going to get my vote today. So,
1:37:46you get to choose. Do you want me to
1:37:47take the vote today with that
1:37:49requirement or do you want me to defer
1:37:51this to December 3rd?
1:37:55>> I guess I don't really have a choice.
1:37:59You you want to defer this?
1:38:01>> Um
1:38:02>> you do want to defer this.
1:38:04>> Well, not necessarily. I mean, I want to
1:38:06reiterate what Don said earlier, which
1:38:08is you if you do this on a trial basis,
1:38:11you come back here a year from now, this
1:38:13isn't a life sentence. If it's been
1:38:14managed well, there's no requirement
1:38:16that you have to keep the property
1:38:18management company because you get one
1:38:20in this first term. you could come back
1:38:21and with good management history that
1:38:25requirement is removed and you go back
1:38:27to managing the property yourself,
1:38:29>> right?
1:38:30>> I just feel like you're acting as if
1:38:33because I've watched lots of footage of
1:38:37your rulings
1:38:39and
1:38:40the very last time I was here, you made
1:38:43an exception and gave a permit for
1:38:45someone that didn't have a license for a
1:38:48year and a half.
1:38:50And so I feel like I don't mind
1:38:52following the rules, I'll go ahead and
1:38:54have a management company for a year,
1:38:56but if the management company that I
1:38:59that takes it, cuz I called several,
1:39:04none of them wanted to take my property.
1:39:07None of them. They wouldn't even return
1:39:10my phone call. Why that is, I have no
1:39:14idea. So, I just thought it was
1:39:15interesting that I'm being required to
1:39:19have a management company with the
1:39:21property with literally no issues.
1:39:24And if I come back in a year and it's
1:39:27fully managed
1:39:29by a management company
1:39:32and then there's code violations, are
1:39:35you going to make an exception?
1:39:37>> I will be here. So, I'll remember this
1:39:40for sure. It's where I grew up. So,
1:39:43>> cuz it it just it seems it I don't want
1:39:47to say the unfair word, but I'm telling
1:39:50you guys that it has not been easy for
1:39:53me to get a management company to take
1:39:56my property in Oklahoma City.
1:39:59I called
1:40:03lots, at least 20.
1:40:06They hang up the phone. We have
1:40:08management companies come here all the
1:40:10time and if they're denying then I start
1:40:13questioning as to why they would even
1:40:15deny.
1:40:17I mean that's causing me to have other
1:40:19thoughts as to maybe it's not the
1:40:22companies. Maybe there's something with
1:40:23this property specifically that they
1:40:25don't want. So
1:40:27>> what would that be? There's no
1:40:29>> I don't know. You're starting to make me
1:40:31question what what's going on as to why
1:40:33some company that does not do this day
1:40:35in and day out, why they would not take
1:40:38a property
1:40:40>> if it's under
1:40:42if it's got no code violations and
1:40:44there's nothing wrong with it.
1:40:45>> It's not just this one. Like I said,
1:40:47I've I've tried the approach of having
1:40:51management companies before here in
1:40:53Oklahoma City. I have another Airbnb
1:40:56that has no code violations, has a
1:40:58five-star review, and I had a difficult
1:41:02time
1:41:03um
1:41:05having a management company um take
1:41:08[clears throat] the property. So, I
1:41:09don't know what you mean by that. I'm
1:41:13Cuz I mean,
1:41:14>> what I'm saying is if you have a company
1:41:16that focuses and that's all they do is
1:41:18manage short-term rentals and they're
1:41:21not taking your property,
1:41:25you're saying you don't understand,
1:41:26you're having a hard time. But for me,
1:41:27maybe it it starts questioning whether
1:41:31the property itself is going to be
1:41:33difficult to manage or the property
1:41:35owner is difficult to manage. And the
1:41:37fact that you are arguing with me right
1:41:39now and I've told you where I stand,
1:41:43I I take take offense to that. So, you
1:41:46get to choose. Do you want to take the
1:41:49approval today with the property
1:41:52management requirement in place or do
1:41:54you want to defer to December 3rd?
1:41:57>> Yeah, I'll I'll take the I I'll have it.
1:42:01>> Okay. I'll make approval or I'll make a
1:42:04motion then to approve case number 16369
1:42:07for the purpose that it meets the
1:42:08statutory requirements for the request

1:56:22anyway,
1:56:25>> yeah. Don't know. But so we go two per
1:56:28bedroom plus one is kind of where we we
1:56:31are on a maximum number of guests.
1:56:33>> Okay. My husband built amazing bunk bed.
1:56:38I wish I had a picture of that. There
1:56:40are two queens and two twin beds.
1:56:44So can you pull it up? It is amazing.
1:56:48[laughter]
1:56:49So that right there sleeps one, two,
1:56:51three, four, five, six in the and it's a
1:56:54large room. And um then we have
1:56:57>> large open.
1:56:58>> Yes.

1:57:09they're large bedrooms. We have a queen
1:57:11bed and then we also have a couch that
1:57:14pulls out for maybe a child.
1:57:19Do you have that? I've got it.
1:57:23>> Can I find my picture of that bunk room?
1:57:30>> How did you get that?
1:57:31>> How did it get through?
1:57:32>> I don't know. I do not remember this.
1:57:34That's why I was kind of surprised. That

1:57:41>> The property on a large plot of land
1:57:44>> on acorage, right? But still would

1:57:54>> So, that's the twin bed and that's the
1:57:56two queen beds. They're right next to
1:57:58>> I think we're allowed to go up to two
1:58:01two per plus two, right?
1:58:03>> Yeah.
1:58:04>> It's up to Marcus on that.
1:58:15It's listed as a four bedroomedroom, two
1:58:16bath.
1:58:16>> Yeah, I mean it's pretty nice, but
1:58:20>> I see it.
1:58:23>> Yeah, I saw
1:58:24>> I I know exactly what you're talking
1:58:27about.
1:58:27>> Yeah, I mean it's clear that your
1:58:29husband is very talented and it is a
1:58:30nice bed, but the the policy has been uh
1:58:34two per bedroom plus one. We can go up
1:58:36to two, but just for consistency,
1:58:39my vote is going to be to keep it at two
1:58:41plus bedroom, two per bedroom plus one,
1:58:44just this to not have any favoritism
1:58:46between the various cases.
1:58:48>> Okay.
1:58:51>> And I'll just restate. I would like to
1:58:53see the quiet hours from 9:00 p.m. to
1:58:548:00 a.m.

1:59:09the number of vehicles going up and down
1:59:11the road.
1:59:11>> Yes.
1:59:12>> Since it was a gravel road.
1:59:14>> And we do we maintain 163rd Street. Um
1:59:20we have a large family. I'm involved in
1:59:23church. We have our church group there.
1:59:25It's our home away from home as well.
1:59:27And so um it's not only used for the
1:59:32VBO. So, and people like I had a baby

1:59:40weeks ago and our church I I do small
1:59:44group and our small group comes. We have
1:59:46Christmas. So, there is going to be
1:59:48traffic but the issue is the HOA. I will
1:59:51just put it that way and we do maintain
1:59:54our road and and part of Amber. So,

2:04:08LLC to allow home sharing at 1628 South
2:04:12Douglas Avenue.
2:04:14>> Good afternoon. My name is Anthony Todd
2:04:16Potter. My wife and I are the owners of
2:04:17property located at 1628 South Douglas
2:04:20Avenue, 73108 in the Wheeler District.
2:04:23Uh we're currently operating a home uh
2:04:25sharing license issued early this year
2:04:27and I'm here today to respectfully
2:04:28request renewal of our previously
2:04:30approved special exception for home
2:04:31sharing short-term rental operations.
2:04:33During my original hearing, I was
2:04:35encouraged by this board, I believe you,
2:04:37sir, to uh seek my approval early for my
2:04:40renewal and I took that heed advice and
2:04:43here I am today. Um, since operating in
2:04:46Febru since February, we started
2:04:47operations and we've operated the
2:04:49property professionally, managed
2:04:51three-bedroom rental with a maximum
2:04:52occupancy of se six guests, established
2:04:55house rules, and kept the quiet hours 98
2:04:57based on what what was requested. Uh, I
2:05:00believe our first year has been very
2:05:01successful. We've demonstrated that we
2:05:03can responsibly operate a high quality
2:05:04professionally, manage short-term rental
2:05:06property. We've invested significantly
2:05:08in the property and maintain active
2:05:10oversight and establish clear guest
2:05:12expectations. And currently we received
2:05:15an excellent feedback from our guests
2:05:17with 14 out of 14 five-star reviews with
2:05:19no complaints received from our
2:05:21surrounding neighbors. I'm respectly
2:05:23requesting your approval for our renewal
2:05:25and I'm happy to answer any questions.
2:05:28>> Thank you. Uh nobody signed up to speak
2:05:30on this. Does anyone from the audience
2:05:32wish to speak on this application? No.
2:05:34Um
2:05:37the only thing I would ask is did I put
2:05:39a maximum number of vehicles on this
2:05:40last time? Do you know? Um what you
2:05:42mentioned sir was the the Wheeler
2:05:43district is known for
2:05:45>> right there street parking and it's it's
2:05:47kind of first come first go I I um and
2:05:50there was no other
2:05:52>> limits in that respect. It was you
2:05:54mentioned that it was kind of open to
2:05:56street parking.
2:05:57>> Yep. And so it's a timely renewal grant
2:06:01a three-year
2:06:02>> uh exception on this and you probably
2:06:05don't need to come four months early or
2:06:07three months early.
2:06:08>> Fair enough. [laughter]
2:06:10Six weeks is plenty probably,
2:06:12>> right? Well, I I was worried about the
2:06:14holidays and getting all my stuff in and
2:06:17>> Three years from now is a long time. So,
2:06:19do remember.
2:06:20>> Understood.

2:07:33moving to the other property, um, I went
2:07:36ahead and brought, um,
2:07:47that has come with some irritated
2:07:51neighbors obviously. Um, so that being
2:07:54said, uh, kind of a control freak. I
2:07:57will be the manager, the pool boy, the
2:07:59yard crew. So, I make sure all is taken
2:08:02care of. I'm friends with lots of
2:08:04neighbors. They have my number. I live
2:08:0620 minutes away now, so they can contact
2:08:09me and I urge them to do so. We have met
2:08:12all safety requirements. We have
2:08:14exterior cameras that alert me when any
2:08:17movements occurred. We have no doing
2:08:19dumb stuff around the pool signs to
2:08:23alleviate that. We have a decibel
2:08:25monitor placed in our backyard to deter
2:08:28from partying. Any questions?
2:08:33>> Sounds like you're good for success.
2:08:35[laughter]

2:08:38this application and there's nobody left
2:08:41in the audience to speak on it. So,

2:08:46would do is on the the maximum number of
2:08:49guests, you probably have heard it's a
2:08:50fourbedroom home. So, I'd reduce it to
2:08:52nine.
2:08:53>> Sure.
2:08:53>> Uh, quiet hours from 8 to 8.
2:08:56>> I do that because there's a swimming
2:08:58pool.
2:08:58>> Uhhuh. Um
2:09:01the maximum number of vehicles,
2:09:04six, which is probably plenty. Uh
2:09:09>> we provide them with the garage remotes
2:09:10too and everything.
2:09:11>> Yeah. Two in the garage and
2:09:14four out.
2:09:15>> Even though it's not against any rules,
2:09:17we have instructed them no street
2:09:18parking either. Just the tight quarters.
2:09:20>> Yep. I'll add no street parking to it.
2:09:22And then the terms one year is first
2:09:24time.
