3 Planning Commission 98 July 16, 2013 EDMOND PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, July 16, :30 P.M. The Edmond Planning Commission Meeting was called to order by Vice Chairperson Mark Hoose at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 16, 2013, in the City Council Chambers at 20 South Littler. Other members present were Robert Rainey, Bill Moyer and Kenneth Wohl. Chairperson Barry K. Moore was absent. Present for the City were Robert L. Schiermeyer, City Planner; Kristi McCone, City Planner; Steve Manek, City Engineer; and Steve Murdock, City Attorney. The first item on the agenda was the approval of the July 2, 2013 Planning Commission minutes. Motion by Moyer, seconded by Rainey, to approve the minutes as written. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Moyer, Rainey, Wohl and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Case #PR Consideration of Preliminary Plat for Covell Valley, located on the south side of Covell Road, one quarter mile east of Air Depot. (Dodson Custom Homes) Attorney Randel Shadid is representing Aaron Dodson with Dodson Custom Homes in requesting Preliminary Plat approval south of Covell Road. The addition contains acres and 348 lots are proposed with the minimum lot being 7,200 square feet as planned by the developer. The property is zoned A Single Family and the minimum lot size by the zoning code is 6,000 square feet. The developer lists the current owners as David and Linda Santee. The addition would have two access points on Covell. There are no other access points or stub-out streets. The land to the west has been discussed as potential school district property. There is a large floodplain to the east and southeast of this plat. The developer plans one street across that floodplain area, Monterrey Drive. The Hidden Lake Addition is located along a portion of the southeast part of the plat and lots would back up to 1.3 acre lots to the south in the Hidden Lake Addition. The property to the south on the majority of the Covell Valley Addition is undeveloped and owned by the Starks Family, LLC. The floodplain areas will need to be left as common areas as well as the improved detention locations. The streets in this addition will be public. With two access points on Covell, there will be some distribution of traffic of the total 348 lots. The addition will be served with full City water and sewer. There is a 50 foot wide Oneok pipeline easement just over 300 feet south of Covell Road that requires the street crossings; lots back up to that easement. The Oneok easement also extends further east across Air Depot through Thunder Canyon. Oneok will need to approve the easement crossing for the Final Plats. Preliminary Plats are good for two years regardless of the progress in the development of the final plats. It is common to review a Preliminary Plat several times prior to build out of the addition.

4 Planning Commission 99 July 16, 2013 Randel Shadid indicated the number of lots had been reduced to 337. He noted there are no utility easements adjacent to Hidden Lake, therefore there is no reason to dig within along the south property line. Chris Hayes of 6615 Forrest Creek Drive indicated he had a concern about the drainage, he wanted to make sure it did not back up in to the yards or the homeowner s park. Mark Livingston of 6602 Cypress Hollow commented that the neighborhood park cannot be fenced because of the floodplain and it should be understood that the Covell Valley residents are not paying to maintain that park. Barbara McCune of 6607 Forrest Creek Drive was concerned about the volume of water draining through the area and had seen how it works with recent heavy rains. She felt it would be best to provide a buffer that is part of the detention or designed to anticipate this water flow to not back up water in to Hidden Lake or cause problems in Covell Valley. Another option the developer had would be to increase the lot size like was done with Forest Oaks and Tall Oaks Section III. Dale Wildman of 6917 Cypress Hollow felt it would be best to create at least full half-acre lots as a transition next to Hidden Lake and increase the lot size to 9,500 square feet for other lots. Randel Shadid indicated the developer would comply with all drainage standards and he did not have an answer for the park issue other than posting a sign that the park is private. Motion by Wohl, seconded by Moyer, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Wohl, Moyer, Rainey and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Case #PR Consideration of Final Plat for Heritage Village Addition, located on the west side of Fretz, just over one-quarter mile north of West Edmond Road. (Turning Point Ministries, LLC) Bob Turner, representing Turning Point Ministries, Inc. is requesting Final Plat approval for 37 single family lots on 7.72 acres. This property is zoned PUD which allows a variation in lot size from 3,600 square feet to 7,200 square feet. The average is just over 6,000 square feet, considering the open space in the addition. Access will be from Fretz and Walnut Street. Detention is located on the west side of the property, common area F. Streets in this addition will be public. The detention will be maintained by the homeowners. Setback variances would be permitted because of the Planned Unit Development. An off-site easement will be obtained for the sanitary sewer connection shown north of the plat. Earnest Isch was in attendance representing the applicant. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Moyer, seconded by Rainey, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Moyer, Rainey, Wohl and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Case #DD Consideration of request for Deed Certification west of Fretz, east of Walnut in the Marcheta Heights Addition. (Bob Turner/Turning Point Ministries)

5 Planning Commission 100 July 16, 2013 Bob Turner is moving a house on to a new lot being the east half of Lot 7, Block 2, Marcheta Heights Addition. The lot will be 68 feet by 100 feet (6,800 square feet). The property is zoned A Single Family. The existing house is on property owned by Mr. Turner immediately north of the proposed lot. The house was originally constructed in the 1930 s and is in sound condition and will be moved to the lot in the addition to the south that was developed in City sewer is adjacent to the new building site along the south property line. Mr. Tuner will build a road and water line along the north side of a portion of Lot 7 as he constructs the Heritage Village Addition. The new lot will not be landlocked. There is a house on the west side of Lot 7, Block 2 and that property will still be accessed by Walnut Street. There is a separate ownership to the east along Fretz owned by the Sylvester Family that is zoned B Two Family for duplexes. The new building site in Marcheta Heights is not located within a floodplain. Subject to the road and water line being constructed on the north side of this new lot, the lot would meet all requirements for one single family home. Earnest Isch was in attendance representing the applicant. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Wohl, Moyer and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Public Hearing and Consideration of Request for Variance from the minimum lot size listed in Title 21 Subdivisions of the Edmond Municipal Code for aerobic systems on 26,000 square foot lots, located south of Waterloo Road, on the east side of Broadway. (D & M Development, LLC) Wayne Sadeghy has submitted a PUD Master Plan for his 223 acre development planned south of Waterloo road, east of Broadway. He has not submitted a preliminary plat at this time, but the PUD describes that he will provide for City water, but wants to develop Single-Family Residential on 26,000 square foot lots, rather than the required 60,000 square feet. The required Code reads as follows: Section Sanitary Sewers, Subsection 6, In residential acreage subdivisions, the lot size shall not be less than 60,000 square feet, even if the subdivision is served with City water. Water service provides for a higher level of fire protection and for safe domestic water supply. Mr. Sadeghy has plans to build 220 lots with aerobic systems. Until a variance is approved for the above section of Title 21, it is not appropriate to include such a variance in a Planned Unit Development type zoning. A limited number of variances have been approved from this section of the Code. The Redmont Trace Addition, located south of Coffee Creek Road, one-half mile east of Broadway, was approved for similar variances, with lot sizes approved at 26,000 square feet for that variance. There have been four sections of Redmont Trace developed, Section 1 has 36 lots and there have been 31 permits issued as of 2013; Section 2 has 7 lots and there have been 6 permits issued; Section 3 has 27 lots and there have been 24 building permits issued. The developer chose to have City water and sewer serve Redmont Trace IV. This was not due to any problems, this was his choice based on the

6 Planning Commission 101 July 16, 2013 availability of utilities from Hutton Place. At this time, there could be as many as 70 lots in Redmont Trace, using City water, but operating with aerobic systems on at least 26,000 square foot lots. More recently, the City allowed one home on an aerobic system with City water, for the Designs by Tammy location, north of Danforth and west of Santa Fe. The only other location in Edmond where aerobic systems have been allowed on less than acreage type lots is the Leavitts North Park Addition, north of Memorial and east of the Broadway Extension, approved in Since that time, water and sewer have been extended to some parts of the Addition, but aerobic systems were approved on approximately one-third acre lots. There may be many aerobic systems in Edmond, but not on 22,000 square foot lots. As the Planning Commission is aware, the standard for private water wells and septic tanks used to be 40,000 square feet in the 1970 s but for the last 15+ years it has been 60,000 square feet. The above examples are the only locations where there has been a variance to the lot size, approved directly or indirectly. In discussing this variance with Mr. Sadeghy, he is considering a coverage requirement for the lot since the City of Edmond has no direct standard applicable to this situation. Mr. Sadeghy is willing to restrict the home square footage, accessory building square footage, swimming pool coverage, or any other impervious surfacing of the lot to ensure that the aerobic systems can be operated in the best manner. He indicates he will leave 5,000 square feet as the minimum disposal area. Those kinds of limitations could be standards used in the PUD Design Statement. That is one of the reasons this lot size variance needs to be decided first. An example of how the application of this variance would work is that all lots are at least 26,000 square feet, not including right-of-way but including utility easements. Mr. Sadeghy is anticipating 3,884 square foot, four bedroom homes. Any accessory building or swimming pool would need to comply with the Minimum Disposal Area of 5,000 square feet. An average accessory building might range from 900 square feet in size and/or a pool and deck with other paving, could easily take up 8,000 to 9,000 square feet, leaving over 12,000 square feet of open space. Each lot will be different due to the topography and lot shape. Staff would encourage that the homes not be required to set back a great distance and triangle shaped portions of lots be discouraged. It would be best to see how 70 lots work with aerobic systems, similar to what was granted to Redmont Trace, before committing to 220 lots. Preliminary Plats are only good for two years and this development would take much longer than two years. The commercial lots would be expected to have septic systems and variances are not suggested for commercial lots. Todd McKinnis indicated the development was patterned after Redmont Trace. He felt the aerobic systems had been appropriate for Redmont Trace and a lot addition was expected to be workable for the Heatherstone plat. He described the 5,000 square foot application area that would be left on each lot as an extra requirement that set a maximum coverage for the house, accessory building and other accessory features, such as a swimming pool. Vice Chairperson Hoose asked if there was a problem with the aerobic system, who would fix them. Todd McKinnis indicated that ODEQ could request the landowner to make the necessary improvements. He indicated there was normally a two year warranty on the systems. Commissioner Rainey asked how the 5,000 square foot application area would be enforced. Todd McKinnis indicated that would be in the covenants and restrictions and could be noted on the plats as a requirement. Mr.

7 Planning Commission 102 July 16, 2013 Schiermeyer indicated there had been a few other cases where the square footage of the home was required to be a certain amount for compatibility with the adjoining area. The building permits would be documented if the 5,000 square foot is set as a standard along with the note on the plat. The construction of homes, pools and accessory buildings can occur over a long period of time. Commissioner Wohl asked if the application area could be divided into, two lesser sized areas. Mr. McKinnis indicated a lesser size would not work. Mr. McKinnis talked about ODEQ speaking highly of the aerobic systems and that they are easier to fix compared to septic tanks. Terry Tippens of 6501 N. Broadway, located west of this project, spoke in opposition to the ultimate plan for 220 aerobic served lots. He indicated he had researched the information and based on the soil types and slope of many parts of the property, this general area was not good for aerobic systems; larger lots are needed. He indicated the soils are Type 5 which is the worst for such systems. He indicated the systems are not just evaporations, they are also absorption in to some of the soils and when that does not work there will be runoff. He indicated some homes use as much as 6,210 gallons of water in a month and these systems cannot consistently handle that level of treatment. He indicated there are problems with the maintenance and warranty compliance. He indicated the research from Texas A & M indicated problems such as outages in electricity, non bio-degradable materials in the garbage disposal, bacteria necessary for the operation but adversely affected by chemicals, mechanical failure, odor and enforcement authority and inspection. Texas A & M suggested that if they are used, there must be someone responsible for inspections and enforcement. He noted that the workers around such systems are required to have vaccinations for continued exposure. Mr. Tippens suggested the variance not be approved; larger lots are needed in this case. Commissioner Moyer indicated the Planning Commission was being asked for a considerable variance and this situation would be much more substantial than Redmont Trace. Vice Chairperson Hoose noted he had researched this area with ODEQ and he had some concerns about the feasibility of the variance, particularly long term operations. It was noted the only solution to resolve private systems was a substantial lift stations, pressure lines and additional gravity flow sewer mains a considerable distance off-site. Commissioner Rainey made a motion to deny the request; there was no second to his motion. Commissioner Wohl made a motion to continue the request; there was no second to his motion. Motion by Wohl, seconded by Moyer, to approve this request. Motion failed by a vote of 0-4 as follows: AYES: Members: None NAYS: Members: Wohl, Moyer, Rainey and Vice Chairperson Hoose The next item on the agenda was Case #Z Public Hearing and Consideration of Edmond Plan Amendment from Mixed Use Development to Single Family and Commercial Uses on the southeast corner of Waterloo Road and Broadway. (D & M Partnership, LLC) In 2007, when the Edmond Plan was prepared, the property south of Waterloo Road, east of Broadway was understood to be a difficult parcel for future development. Some of

8 Planning Commission 103 July 16, 2013 the land use factors of various commercial uses considered were located to the north in Logan County. The natural runoff of the property for utility purposes is also to the north, away from any systems available in Edmond without a lift station and substantial new sewer lines. Public water mains were not adjacent. The city limits only extend to the centerline of Waterloo Road. There are no direct plans for improvements to Waterloo Road. The mixed-use recommendation in the Edmond Plan would have allowed for a variety of uses providing that a developer extended water and sewer and built a lift station including the required lines needed. That effort would have involved a substantial cost and that is why the mixture of uses was suggested. The location and dimensions of the mixed uses were not part of the Edmond Plan. The majority of the subject property is zoned A Single Family. Without the extraordinary effort of water extension and lift station improvements, acreage lots meeting Edmond standards would have been the most practical type of development for the single family portion of the property. Wayne and Dorothy Sadeghy own 223 acres south of Waterloo Road, east of Broadway. They would like to develop the property with General Commercial, Restricted Commercial and Suburban Office. Some of the property is zoned single family and some of the property is zoned agricultural. The PUD submitted suggests 220 single family lots on aerobic systems with a minimum lot of 26,000 square feet. Edmond has rarely approved the reduction in lot size for aerobic systems. Redmont Trace has 70 lots but the smallest lot is 26,000 square feet and the average lot size in that addition is 33,000 square feet and some extend to 47,000 square feet with individual aerobic systems. The Leavitt s North Park Addition on Memorial Road was approved and there are some lots in that addition served with aerobic systems. To approve 220 lots would effectively change the following section of Title 21 Subdivisions Sanitary Sewers, subsection 6. In residential acreage subdivisions, the lot size shall not be less 60,000 square feet, even if the subdivision is served with city water. The soil conditions are particularly difficult for private sewer systems at this location; maybe there is an engineering solution for that condition. The main issue is that the only permanent solution if there are problems is an expensive lift station, pressure line and new public sewer lines. It is true there are many aerobic systems in Edmond, but on 22,050 square foot lots; the majority are on 40,000; 60,000; or 90,000 square foot lots. The following general planning considerations represent some of the factors evaluated in reviewing justifications for Plan Map Amendments. 1. Infrastructure: There is no City water or sewer adjacent to the site at this time. Approval of the project must require the extension west on Waterloo and south on Broadway to connect a looped water line system. There is no sewer available and none is planned by the developer. He wishes to meet the City-County Health Department standards. The City has not approved a 220 lot addition with the aerobic system/city water and sewer service in the past. The 60,000 square foot standard applies to commercial but could be greater if the City-County Health Department required larger lateral fields because of the usage, such as for restaurants. The Edmond Plan anticipated the subject property would be more costly to develop and the higher uses were recommended, consistent with some of the land uses in the vicinity.

9 Planning Commission 104 July 16, Traffic: Traffic counts on Broadway are not substantial at this point and estimated at less than 10,000 vehicles per day. The centerline of Waterloo Road is the edge of the City limits and the dividing line between Oklahoma and Logan County. 3. Existing zoning pattern: North Logan County, commercial uses South Residential East Residential West Commercial and residential 4. Land Use: North Commercial South Large tract ownerships with homes East 2 acre or larger lots West Commercial and large lot developments 5. Density: 22,050 square foot lots. One unit per half-acre. 6. Land ownership pattern: North Commercial lots South Large ownerships East 2 ½ acre or larger West 5 acres or larger 7. Physical features: Prairie grass land 8. Special conditions: Water utility needs to be extended, variance for waste water disposal. 9. Location of Schools and School Land: Not applicable. 10. Compatibility to Edmond Plan: The zoning would have allowed acreage lots with water wells and septic tanks with 60,000 square feet lots with an approved perk test on the majority of the property. 11. Site Plan Review: Required for commercial, plats would be required for residential. Motion by Moyer, seconded by Rainey, to continue this request until the August 20, 2013 Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Moyer, Rainey, Wohl and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Case #Z Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning from G-A General Agricultural and A Single Family to Planned Unit Development on the southeast corner of Waterloo Road and Broadway. (D & M Partnership, LLC)

10 Planning Commission 105 July 16, 2013 Earnest Isch is representing Dorothy and Wayne Sadeghy in requesting a mixed development PUD involving commercial uses, including E-1 General Commercial, D-1 Restricted Commercial and D-O Suburban Office. Adjacent to the commercial, the owners would like to build single family homes on 183 acres of the ownership. 220 homes are planned. The developer is planning to extend water one-half mile away to the south at Sorghum Mill and Broadway but he will also need to loop the water line to the west to a water line on Waterloo Road, installed when the Oak Tree development was constructed. Without the loop, there would not be adequate water pressure. All of the property drains to the north based on the natural drainage of the property and a lift station would be required for a gravity flow sewer service. The developers want to use aerobic systems on the individual lots, which would be at least 26,000 square feet each and connect with City water; this will meet the City-County Health Department standards. The commercial development would have to be served by a series of septic systems. There will be 39 acres of commercial to be operated with septic systems. Lagoons are not permitted within the City of Edmond. 131 acres of this property was zoned A Single Family in There has not been a project this large planned for aerobic systems. Detention will still be required for both the commercial and residential. Based on the Master Transportation Plan and the new Bicycle Master Plan, right-of-way requirements will be needed along Waterloo and Broadway. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Wohl, to continue this request until the August 20, 2013 Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Wohl, Moyer and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Case #SP Public Hearing and Consideration of Site Plan Approval for the Integris office building located on the east side of I-35, north of Integris Parkway. (Integris Health) Planning Department comments: 1. Existing zoning E-1 General Commercial 2. Setbacks The front setback is 240 feet from the property line on the I-35 Frontage Road. 22 feet from the north property line feet from the south property line and 216 feet from the east property line. 3. Height of buildings 147 feet to the parapet and 157 feet to the screen wall. 4. Parking The building is 46,000 square feet. 218 parking spaces are provided. 184 parking spaces could be required but with medical uses, additional parking beyond the minimum has been approved. 5. Lot size 4.49 acres

11 Planning Commission 106 July 16, Lighting Plan The lighting will match the existing light poles on the Integris parcel. The light poles do not exceed 24 feet in height. 7. Signage A 4 foot tall monument sign is planned near the building, identifying the address as 4833 Integris Parkway. The sign is only 20 square feet. There is also a sign on the screen wall identifying the sign for Integris. The building is three stories in height. 8. General architectural appearance The building exterior will match the existing hospital with a combination of stone and brick masonry. The mechanical screening is metal. 9. Sensitive borders This location is not within a sensitive border condition. 10. Mechanical equipment Is located on the roof but screened on all four sides. 11. Fencing/screening The dumpster enclosure is on the northeast corner of the building and located in a screened enclosure. Engineering Department comments: 12. Driveways, access management and paving There are no new driveways on the frontage road. There are two new drives on Integris Parkway. 13. Water and wastewater plans Water and sewer lines are available for connection. A new fire hydrant will be needed as suggested by the Fire Department. 14. Drainage detention and grading Drainage and detention have been planned as a part of the overall project. Arcadia Lake is near the property and serves as part of the detention compliance. Building and Fire Code Services comments: 15. Applicable Building Code, Fire Code and ADA FIRE SPRINKLERS The building is required to be fire sprinkled throughout FIRE DEPT ACCESS The fire lane shall be hard surface when the building starts to have combustibles installed on the building. Hard surface is defined as asphalt or concrete. FIRE FLOW The fire flow required is 2250 gallons per minute for 2 hours. This area will support the required fire flow. FIRE HYDRANTS A fire hydrant shall be added to the area on the Southwest corner of the building.

Doug Klassen was in attendance representing the applicant. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Wohl, Moyer and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Case #ES Public Hearing and Consideration of Easement Closing for a 50 foot wide trails easement, reserving all utilities along the south side of Redmont Trace I Addition. (City of Edmond) The original developer and the Home Owner s Association have asked if the City of Edmond is still interested in developing a public trail in the Redmond Trace I Addition. Assistant City Manager Steve Commons has evaluated this request and recommends that this trails easement be closed. The easement is not developed or used for trail purposes. All of this location is a utility easement. There is a sanitary sewer line on the south side of the property, there are tall overhead power lines operated by OG&E and none of the existing easements will be closed for utility purposes. The only closing is to

13 Planning Commission 108 July 16, 2013 provide there will not be a City of Edmond trails easement. The easement is part of common area D and there is a common area E that allowed for a connection to the nearest street in Redmont Trace I. Redmont Trace I was approved by the City Council on September 14, No additional trails easements have been set aside or dedicated in this area since the plat. In addition, Edmond North Estates Addition, located to the west has no trails easement and that addition was developed before the Trails Master Plan. Saint Mary s Episcopal School owns the land to the south and UCO recently purchased land west of Saint Mary s Episcopal School continuing to North Broadway. Most of the land to the east is unplatted. This area of the City would not be a high priority for easement purchase and trails development. The original trails plan suggested a trail at this location but development is not imminent. The City of Edmond has notified all property owners in the Redmont Trace Addition and within 300 feet as well as utility companies. The City of Edmond is the applicant since the trail was intended to be a public trail. The property is not owned by the City, it can be used as an open trail. The area is also a utility easement and the owners would be the association for the addition subject to the easements. It is common for utility easements to be fenced off and included in the yards. Trails easements must be left open if they are going to be developed. Due to questions from of the residents, Mr. Schiermeyer recommended continuing the request until the following Planning Commission meeting. Motion by Wohl, seconded by Moyer, to continue this request until the August 6, Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Wohl, Moyer, Rainey and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Case #ES Public Hearing and Consideration of Utility Easement Closing on the Acts II United Methodist Church property on the east side of Pennsylvania Avenue, south of Covell at 4848 W. Covell Road. (City of Edmond) Edmond Electric Director Glenn Fisher is requesting that an existing easement filed of record at the Oklahoma County Courthouse be closed. The area to be closed contains 8, square feet; another easement has been provided to serve the church. The new church building is planned where this original easement is situated. Since that easement which was provided in 2007, the Edmond Public School District has proceeded with an elementary school south of the church and an additional utility easement was provided across the church property to reach Frontier Elementary School. The City no longer needs the easement provided in December of 2007 and recommends the easement be closed. The easement was dedicated for an electric line so there are no other utilities in the easement but utility companies have been notified anyway and property owners within 300 feet have been notified. Staff recommends closing the easement. The City is the applicant because the church provided for both easements as requested by the City. The newest easement also serves the new elementary school. The church has allowed for convenient access of utilities as requested.

14 Planning Commission 109 July 16, 2013 Glenn Fisher, Edmond Electric Director was in attendance representing the application. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Moyer, seconded by Rainey, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Moyer, Rainey, Wohl and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Case #ES Public Hearing and Consideration of Easement Closing east of Boulevard, one-half mile north of Thirty-Third Street at 2700 S. Boulevard. (New Covenant United Methodist Church) George Winters, Architect for the church at 2700 S. Boulevard is requesting that a 37 foot portion on the northeast corner of the property. The 30 foot wide parcel to be closed was a street easement but was never improved and 30 feet is not sufficient for a street. The church is planning to place a portable storage enclosure and dumpster on the property. The enclosure would be sight-proof fenced, generally a 50x50 area. The easement extends west to Boulevard but that area is being left open and the only use of that property would be for utilities. Gates would be installed facing south, except for the dumpster enclosure, which would face west. An area 30 feet by 130 feet is planned to be closed. Oklahoma Natural Gas has reviewed this request and has no objections. Greg Smith of 304 Elwood Drive, property owner to the north indicated he used his back gate to get to the Ted Anderson Park, even though he did have to cross the church s property. He was hoping the church would allow for that access to continue without blocking off his gate. George Winters indicated the church would allow for Mr. Anderson to continue using the gate for access and additional study would take place on easement requirements in the north portion of the 30x130 parcel requested to be closed. One solution would be to move the proposed enclosure for the Boy Scout trailers a little further south, leaving room for a utility easement and a walk-through. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Wohl, Moyer and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None The next item on the agenda was Public Hearing and Consideration of request to replace a metal building with a newly constructed building at 300 Katie Michelle Boulevard. (James Bradley) Mr. James Bradley has requested that he be permitted to replace a 24x40 foot metal building that has deteriorated at 300 Katie Michelle Boulevard. He owns the property that contains three buildings, including the subject request, which were the first buildings on Katie Michelle Boulevard. He would like to demolish the existing building and build a new metal building the exact same size on the same pad. He indicates the building will be used for storage and will not be part of an operating business on the site. The 40x24

15 Planning Commission 110 July 16, 2013 building (960 square feet) is less than 20% of the existing buildings on-site, which are also metal with some masonry wainscot. The ordinance standard would require that any new building, even if the structural support was metal, be required to have brick veneer or a combination of brick and other masonry trim materials. Mr. Bradley is requesting a variance from that masonry exterior wall standard in the I-35 Corridor. The roof would be pitched standing seam metal roof. Mr. Bradley will not add any paved parking for this building. There are no plans for any additional landscaping. There will be no site lighting, although there could be security lights on the building. Since there is no additional paving and the building would be set back on the same pad, no drainage study would be required or drainage detention. There will be no wall or ground signs on the property. No mechanical on the roof or air conditioning facilities installed. Mr. Bradley s goal is to replace an existing building at the same size. This item has been reviewed by the Fire Department and the building does not require a fire sprinkler system and there is adequate fire access and capacity currently available. The 960 square foot metal building would be constructed to meet the 2009 International Building Code. A walk-through door will be required and a certified set of plans if the variance is approved. James Bradley was in attendance. He indicated he understood the rules and was trying to make an improvement as to appearance without extra cost. Mr. Bradley has owned the property since 1991 and since the buildings are not used for commercial business, only for his own storage, he hoped this would be acceptable. Vice Chairperson Hoose indicated this would not be a precedent for the application of I-35 standards for future commercial. Commissioner Rainey thanked Mr. Bradley for honoring the system and working with the City of Edmond. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Moyer, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Moyer, Wohl and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None There was no New Business. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Wohl, to adjourn. Motion carried by a vote of 4-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Wohl, Moyer and Vice Chairperson Hoose NAYS: Members: None Meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. Mark Hoose, Vice Chairperson Edmond Planning Commission Robert Schiermeyer, Secretary Edmond Planning Commission

16 Planning Commission 3. Meeting Date: 08/06/2013 From: Department: RE: Bob Schiermeyer Planning/Zoning Information Case #ES Public Hearing and Consideration of Easement Closing for a 50 foot wide trails easement, reserving all utilities along the south side of Redmont Trace I Addition. (City of Edmond) The original developer Bob Turner has been in discussion with the Redmont Trace Homeowner s Association President and many of the other homeowners about clarifying the greenbelt, Block D. Assistant City Manager of Administration Steve Commons has also reviewed this inquiry because Mr. Turner provided for a 50 foot trail easement in the greenbelt when he platted the addition. Mr. Commons, in the supervision of the Parks and Recreation Department, does not object to the closing of the trail easement as a part of clearing up the usage of the greenbelt. No trail has been established and there are no other trail easements to the east or west of this location. This greenbelt is part of a 130 foot wide OG&E transmission line easement and some other easements have been provided in the same area. Utility easements are not being modified, altered or closed by this consideration. This application only applies to the 50 foot trails easement. The only action needed is to document that the 50 foot trails easement to the City of Edmond is not needed. An ordinance would be approved, closing the easement for trails purposes only and the ordinance will be filed of record at the Oklahoma County Courthouse. The Block E greenbelt was intended to connect the streets in Redmont Trace to the trails easement if it was ever built. The Block E greenbelt is not labeled as a trails easement and does not have to be closed like the Block D trails easement does. Issues related to whether Redmont Trace Association, Incorporated continues to own the land or whether the easement is divided in to 9 different ownerships to be included with each of the adjacent lots is not part of this decision and the City has no requirement to specifically approve that land division. Title 21 Subdivisions only requires lot splits when the lots are being re-divided for the purposes of creating a new building site. Staff concurs the trails easement should be closed.

20 Planning Commission 5. Meeting Date: 08/06/2013 From: Department: RE: Bob Schiermeyer Planning/Zoning Information Case PR Public Hearing and Consideration of Preliminary Plat for Kelly Krossing located on the north side of West Edmond Road, 325 feet west of Kelly. (Aldi, Inc.) Aldi, Inc. is requesting Preliminary Plat approval of a acre Preliminary Plat containing 2 lots. Lot 1 is 1.64 acres where the Aldi store will be located and Lot 2 is an L shaped lot containing 6.92 acres. This property is zoned D-2 Neighborhood Commercial. The D-2 Neighborhood Commercial District allows a grocery store as a use permitted by right, without a specific use permit. The RCB Bank is located to the east. Billy Simm s Barbeque and Valero convenience store are located to the south. The land to the north is undeveloped and the land to the west has a house on a larger parcel with a sight proof fence in place. Aldi will share two driveways with RCB Bank and they were approved on Monday, July 22nd for a second drive on the west side of their property on West Edmond Road. That drive will eventually serve Lot 2. There will also be the ability to access the Aldi property from Kelly north of the bank site when the Aldi opens. Drainage detention installed with the bank will be redone to fit the Aldi location. Aldi has submitted a site plan, which will be scheduled for the August 20th Planning Commission meeting.

23 Planning Commission 6. Meeting Date: 08/06/2013 From: Department: RE: Bob Schiermeyer Planning/Zoning Information Case PR Consideration of Final Plat for Kelly Krossing located on the north side of West Edmond Road, 325 feet west of Kelly. (Kelly Krossing, LLC) Mike Henderson with Kelly Krossing, LLC, the current property owner is requesting approval of the final plat of Lot 1, Block 1, Kelly Krossing. 80 feet of right-of-way is being provided along West Edmond Road and access will be from a drive on the west side of the property shared with a future business and the shared drives with RCB bank. A building line is being added to the front setback along West Edmond Road. Based on the drainage plan for the bank, there are a number of private easements documenting the drainage and detention easement agreement. It will be a better practice if those easements can be removed at the time of acceptance of the plat rather than have the lingering question occur Were the easements really abandoned?. This affects sign location, possibly driveways that need to be clearly defined. The mutual access easements will need to be recorded with the Final Plat to ensure customers can use Kelly to access the grocery store as well as any mutual easements or utility easements that are needed to the west of the store on what was shown as Lot 2 on the Preliminary Plat. These easements are important because there is a different owner of the property than Aldi, Inc. The applicant is aware of the issues. Aldi Final Plat Attachments

25 Planning Commission 7. Meeting Date: 08/06/2013 From: Department: RE: Bob Schiermeyer Planning/Zoning Information Case #DD Consideration of Deed Certification for three industrial zoned lots, located on the east side of I-35, north of Sorghum Mill Road and south of Wilson Water Sports. (Michael and Cindy Anderson) Michael Anderson is requesting Deed Certification for three industrial lots east of I-35, south of Wilson Water Sports. One lot would be 3 acres, the middle lot would be 1.5 acres and the southern lot would be 2.38 acres. There are no minimum lot sizes in F-1 Light Industrial unless the use of a septic tank is needed, in that case, the minimum lot size is 60,000 square feet. The 1.5 acre lot is 65,340 square feet. There is no city water on the private street Industrial Boulevard in front of these lots. Any proposed businesses will need to meet the codes for fire protection. The majority of the buildings in this area were constructed at a time when metal buildings were allowed. This location is not within a floodplain and drainage detention will be required for each lot. The square footage of buildings on the properties will need to anticipate septic tanks and lateral fields in addition to the landscaping and meet the Fire Department requirements, which could include several different alternatives. The three lots meet the minimum standards for Deed Certification on a private street. Anderson Deed Certification Attachments
