Planning Commission 116 EDMOND PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, 5:30 P.M. The Edmond Planning Commission Meeting was called to order by Chairperson Barry K. Moore at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday,, in the City Council Chambers at 20 South Littler. Other members present were Robert Rainey, Bill Moyer, Mark Hoose and Kenneth Wohl. 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 August 6, 2013 Planning Commission minutes. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Hoose, to approve the minutes as written. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Hoose, Moyer, Wohl and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #PR13-00007 Public Hearing and Consideration of Preliminary Plat approval of Cottage Grove, located east of Midwest Boulevard, 470 feet north of Covell Road. (Scott McGregor) Attorney Randel Shadid is representing Scott McGregor in requesting Preliminary Plat approval. This addition is zoned A Single Family and is located south of the Tanglevine Addition (an unrecorded plat) and north of Covell Springs (unrecorded plat). The streets in this addition will be public. The subdivision covers 45.33 acres and there are 136 single family lots. As the plat has been modified, there will be two access points on Midwest Boulevard. There is a floodplain on the east side of the addition. The lots are 65x120 (7,800 square feet) or 60x120 (7,200 square feet). The plat is requesting 20 foot building lines for the front setback. The project is not zoned as a Planned Unit Development. There will have to be a homeowner s association since there are a number of common areas, including the large floodplain on the east. The islands in the streets will all have to be common areas since the streets are being dedicated. These islands will have to be maintained by the homeowner s association. There is a gas line extending through the addition on Water s Edge, which includes the islands. 70 feet of right-of-way is being provided along Midwest Boulevard. This addition is required to connect with City water and sewer since those lines were installed by the Woodland Park developer and now there is an established payback district for both of those utilities. The developer will have to extend off-site to Covell to connect to a 12 inch water main. Attorney Randel Shadid was in attendance representing Scott McGregor requesting approval since the addition meets all the subdivision code standards. The plans were modified to meet the most current drainage study, lot sizes on the north were widened to 85 feet after the Community Connections meeting and the developer will be a part of the payback accounts. Mary Ann Olson of 7700 Tanglevine Drive was concerned about the density not meeting the compatibility standards of the Edmond Plan IV document. She indicated this would change the entire character of the area and there would need to be
Planning Commission 117 at least a brick wall providing transition between the two areas of very large lots and small lots. She was also concerned about the flooding that could occur and there has been a history of flooding in this area. Kevin Penry of 7407 Covell agreed with the incompatible lot sizes and density and abrupt density change; his property is south of Cottage Grove and the lots adjacent to him would be smaller. Randel Shadid indicated they would make drainage channel improvements which would help the runoff through the natural creek that crosses the property in addition to meeting the most current drainage standards known. Utilities are required now that were not required in the past. Motion by Hoose, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Hoose, Wohl, Moyer, Rainey and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z13-00017 Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning from G-A General Agricultural to R-1 Rural Estate on a 2.5 acre tract on the north side of East 44 th Street and one-quarter mile east of Coltrane. (Chris and Amanda Crotts) Attorney Randel Shadid is representing the Crotts in requesting rezoning to R-1 Rural Estate for a 2.5 acre home site. During the last 40 years, the southwest quarter of Section 8, Township 13 North, Range 2 West, situated east of Coltrane, north of Memorial Road, west of Edmond Oaks, and south of Woodruff s Tall Oaks (40 th Street) has been consistently rezoned to lots no smaller than R-1 Rural Estate. The Edmond Plan even distinguishes this quarter section differently than other quarter sections in this section for a maximum of the 2 acre large lot size residential. The main reasons for that distinction is the availability of utilities, water and sewer are not available, and the standards of the roads, which is more suitable for a very low density residential. This request is in accordance with the Edmond Plan. Randel Shadid was in attendance representing the Crotts. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Moyer, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Moyer, Hoose, Wohl and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case PR13-00026 Consideration of Final Plat for Kelly Krossing located on the north side of West Edmond Road, 325 feet west of Kelly. (Kelly Krossing, LLC) Aldi is requesting approval of a final plat that is less than 5 acres and Preliminary Plats are not required in those cases. Property owner Mike Henderson is requesting 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
Planning Commission 118 documenting the drainage and detention easement agreement. 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. These easements are important because there is a different owner of that property than Aldi, Inc. The applicant is aware of the issues. Brian Burger was in attendance representing Aldi. Commissioner Moyer asked if 81 parking spaces should be required. Staff indicated that was an option of the Planning Commission to meet the full requirement or grant approval with 76 parking spaces which would lessen the paving requirement. Motion by Moyer, seconded by Hoose, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 4-1 as follows: AYES: Members: Moyer, Hoose, Rainey and Chairperson Moore ABSTAIN/NAYS: Members: Wohl The next item on the agenda was Case #SP13-00018 Public Hearing and Consideration of Site Plan approval for an Aldi grocery store, located west of RCB Bank, north of Edmond Road, west of Kelly. (Aldi Inc.) Planning Department comments: 1. Existing zoning D-2 Neighborhood Commercial 2. Setbacks The front setback is 130 feet from the property line, the setback to the property to the east is 72 feet, the setback to the west is 40 feet, the setback to the north property line is 20 feet. The property surrounding the land is zoned D-2 Neighborhood Commercial, it is not a sensitive border. 3. Height of buildings 24 feet 4. Parking The building contains 16,398 square feet. 81 parking spaces are required. 76 parking spaces have been provided. Bicycle parking spaces are required. There are several locations near the front of the building suitable for bicycle parking racks. 5. Lot size 1.64 acres 6. Lighting Plan None of the light poles exceed 24 feet in height, including the base. There are wall pack lights on the building and 6 light poles. 7. Signage The owners wish to install a 20 foot tall sign, 75 square feet with brick veneer pole covers. The bank has an ATM clock tower and sign on one structure. Valero has a shorter sign and Billy Sim s Barbeque has wall signs. The ground sign is recommended in the center of the property. Edmond Road is a corridor, allowing a 20 foot tall sign. Some businesses have voluntarily used monument signs, such as Arvest Bank.
Planning Commission 119 8. General architectural appearance The building is a combination of stone wainscot and modular brick. The area behind the sign is aluminum composite panels. The roof is flat. Some of the signs will be located on a canopy extending from the wall similar to blade signs. 9. Sensitive borders Not applicable. 10. Mechanical equipment Will be located on the roof and will need to be screened by a parapet wall. The mechanical units will need to be low profile located more in the center of the roof area or the parapet wall will need to have extra height. 11. Fencing/screening Sight-proof fencing is not required due to the adjacent zoning. Engineering Department comments: 12. Driveways, access management and paving Aldi will share a driveway with RCB Bank, one on Kelly and one on Edmond Road and a new drive will be located on the west side of Aldi to be shared with another development to the west. The City Council wanted to be assure there could be access to Aldi from Kelly and that will be accomplished through the bank driveway with an additional drive north of the bank property. 13. Water and wastewater plans New water lines and sanitary sewer lines are being extended to serve Aldi. Those plans are part of the Site Plan and Final Plat. 14. Drainage detention and grading The drainage area is located to the north on property owned by Mike Henderson, the current property owner. The plans have been reviewed by the Engineering Department. Building and Fire Code Services comments: 15.

Motion carried by a vote of 4-1 as follows: AYES: Members: Hoose, Rainey, Moyer and Chairperson Moore ABSTAIN/NAYS: Members: Wohl The next item on the agenda was Case #Z13-00015 Public Hearing and Consideration of Amending the Edmond Plan from Light Industrial to Single-Family Dwelling District, generally located one-quarter mile west of Kelly Avenue, south of Copper Lake Estates Assisted Living Center. (Kay-Bee Investments) The following general planning considerations represent some of the factors evaluated in reviewing justifications for Plan Map Amendments. 1. Infrastructure: City water and sewer are not immediately adjacent to the subject parcels at this time but those improvements are planned as a part of the residential subdivision that would be developed if the Plan Amendment is approved. 2. Traffic: The roads are not in place so there is no impact to any existing streets. There will be a full collector street system as a part of the Hidden Prairie at Kelley Pointe Addition, accessing both Kelly and 33 rd. 3. Existing zoning pattern: North D-O Restricted Commercial South F-1 Light Industrial
Planning Commission 121 East F-1 Light Industrial West A Single Family 4. Land Use: North Undeveloped South Undeveloped East Undeveloped. Petra is the nearest building to the east. West Undeveloped 5. Density: Planned as standard single family density, approximately 4 units per acre. 6. Land ownership pattern: North Large tracts owned by Kay-Bee Investment South Large tracts owned by Kay-Bee Investment East - Large tracts owned by Kay-Bee Investment West Large tracts owned by Kay-Bee Investment 7. Physical features: The land is gently rolling to flat 8. Special conditions: None 9. Location of Schools and School Land: Not applicable 10. Compatibility to Edmond Plan: The area has been zoned F-1 Light Industrial for over 40 years. The subject parcel will fit better as a residential location than industrial. 11. Site Plan Review: Plats will be required, but site plans will not be required. Doug Klassen was in attendance representing Clay Farha. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Moyer, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Moyer, Hoose, Wohl and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z13-00016 Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning from F-1 Light Industrial to A Single-Family Dwelling District, generally located one-quarter mile west of Kelly Avenue, south of Copper Lake Estates Assisted Living Center. (Kay-Bee Investments) Clay Farha, with Kay-Bee Investments, is requesting rezoning from F-1 Light Industrial to A Single-Family Dwelling District on a 7.15 acre tract, located in the far north portion of the Kelley Pointe development. The Copper Lake development is located to the north. Single-Family homes are located to the west, in the Whispering Creek Addition. The residential portion of Kelley Pointe is progressing successfully and the need is for more homes. Kelley Pointe has provided for excellent design elements that allow the higher
Planning Commission 122 uses on Kelly Avenue to transition to residential, even including the collector street that connects both types of uses. Doug Klassen was in attendance representing Clay Farha. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Wohl, Hoose, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z13-00015 Public Hearing and Consideration of Amending the Edmond Plan from Suburban Office to Single-Family Dwelling District, generally located one-quarter mile west of Kelly Avenue, south of Copper Lake Estates Assisted Living Center.

Motion by Rainey, seconded by Hoose, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Hoose, Moyer, Wohl and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z13-00016 Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning from D-O Suburban Office to A Single-Family Dwelling District, generally located one-quarter mile west of Kelly Avenue, south of Copper Lake Estates Assisted Living Center. (Kay-Bee Investments) Clay Farha, with Kay-Bee Investments would like to build some more homes in the northern part of the Kelley Pointe project south of Copper Lake and west of Kelly Avenue. He is requesting rezoning on 5.4 acres on the far north side to Single Family. The entire Kelley Pointe project has been so well planned that even though it is a mix of uses, the natural features or improvements on the land allow for the separation between Single Family and the higher uses located along Kelly Avenue. This project is not a PUD. The 5.4 acre parcel would be combined with the 7.15 acre parcel requested from F-1 Light Industrial to A Single Family, to continue Hidden Prairie at Kelley Pointe. Doug Klassen was in attendance representing Clay Farha. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Rainey, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Rainey, Wohl, Hoose, Moyer and Chairperson Moore Commissioner Hoose left the room for the discussion of the following item.

(The Ranch Property Company, LLC) Bryan Coon is representing the owners requesting Final Plat approval of 78 single family lots on 29.73 acres as a second phase to Centennial at Iron Horse Ranch. The first phase is adjacent to the Centennial Elementary School. This phase would be to the north and east. There will be no new connections to Coltrane with this phase; that will still leave only 115 lots accessed by one residential collector street, which is substantially less than most additions in Edmond. A future phase to the north will provide another outlet to Coltrane. There is also internal connectivity to the school with a common area sidewalk. The property is zoned A Single Family and will be connected to full City utilities. Seventy feet of right-of-way is provided along Coltrane and there are a number of property owner association parcels identifying detention or other open space areas. The lots are generally 75x120 (9,000 square feet) or larger. A Preliminary Plat was approved less than two years ago.
Planning Commission 125 Dee Greninger 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 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Moyer, Rainey, Hoose, Wohl and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #SP13-00017 Public Hearing and Consideration of Site Plan approval for Del Taco, located on the southeast corner of East Second Street and Waterwood Parkway. (Bill Stubbs and Company) The existing Alvarado s restaurant on-site will be demolished and a new 2,720 square feet Del Taco restaurant will be constructed. The site is approximately 150 feet by 170 feet. Planning Department comments: 1. Existing zoning E-1 General Commercial. 2. Setbacks The applicant indicates the front setback is 50 feet from the property line but they were required by the variance to grant a 20 foot street easement, creating a 45 foot setback from the front property line on Second Street. The side yard setback to the east is 23 feet to the farthest projection of the building. The setback to the south is 36 feet. The setback to the west toward Waterwood Parkway is 87 feet. This property is not within a sensitive boundary; all the land surrounding this site is commercial. At least a 25 foot front setback line will be shown on the plat. 3. Height of buildings 25 feet 4. Parking 28 parking spaces are provided for. The restaurant contains 2,720 square feet. 27 parking spaces are required. The developer is adding the required bicycle parking spaces. 5. Lot size 25,942 square feet. 6. Lighting Plan A lighting plan has been provided. Eight light poles are provided on the site. The owner has indicated the light poles do not exceed 24 feet in height and is telling the contractor that information. 7. Signage One, 20 foot tall ground sign, 74 square feet in area on two sign panels is allowed. There are numerous wall signs that meet the code as to size. The name Del Taco is not permitted on directional signs by municipal code. The sign needs to be set back out of the 20 foot easement including overhang of the sign. If improvements were made to Second Street (which is the reason for the right-of-way), any encroachment could be a detriment to funding. The developer s representative has indicated the sign will be out of the easement.
Planning Commission 126 8. General architectural appearance The building will have small brick wainscot on the front and east sides of the building. The remainder of the exterior is EFIS. The roof is flat. The parapet wall will need to be tall enough to screen the mechanical. The drivethrough window will be on the east side of the building. 9. Sensitive borders Not applicable to this location. 10. Mechanical equipment Will be located on the roof. The parapets are currently 3 higher than the tallest piece of roof top equipment and thus all roof top equipment is screened. 11. Fencing/screening Sight-proof fencing is not required. A dumpster enclosure is located on the south side of the building. Engineering Department comments: 12. Driveways, access management and paving The existing driveway on Second Street will continue to be used as designed. The design intends for there to be no left turns in to this site westbound on Second Street. 13. Water and wastewater plans Water and wastewater are already in place. 14. Drainage detention and grading Building and Fire Code Services comments: 15. Applicable Building Code, Fire Code and ADA Occupant load exceeds 100.

Travis Bousquet was in attendance representing the applicant. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Hoose, seconded by Rainey, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Hoose, Rainey, Wohl, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #PR13-00028 Consideration of Final Plat of the Waterwood Retail Addition, located on the southeast corner of East Second Street and Waterwood Parkway. (Bill Stubbs and Company) Engineer Travis Bousquet is representing the owner requesting Final Plat approval of a commercial plat for the proposed Del Taco restaurant. The addition consists of one lot on 0.596 acres. Final plats are allowed for projects less than 5 acres. This location has been before the City Council for a variance on the right-of-way width along Second Street. The owner is providing for a 20 foot street and utility easement in addition to the 50 foot easement already existing on Second Street. The lot and block number needs to be added to the plat. At least a 25 foot building limit line needs to be added to the plat. The existing Second Street driveway on the east side of the property will continue to be used where there is a cross access easement existing. An additional drive on Waterwood Parkway can be approved. The Alvarado s restaurant on-site will be demolished, including the sign. A new building will be constructed and all the required improvements will be completed in the redevelopment of the site.
Planning Commission 128 Travis Bousquet was in attendance representing the applicant. No one appeared in objection. Motion by Hoose, seconded by Rainey, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Hoose, Rainey, Moyer, Wohl and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #SP13-00016 Public Hearing and Consideration of Site Plan approval for an addition to the Harley Davidson located at 3433 S. Broadway. (FDH Enterprises, Inc.) Planning Department comments: 1. Existing zoning E-2 Open Display Commercial 2. Setbacks The 2,230 square foot addition to the building is on the west or back of the existing building. There are no changes to the front or side setbacks. The front of the building is 74 feet along Broadway, the setback to the north is 19 feet and the setback to the south is 37 feet. All of the land around this property is zoned commercial; it is not in a sensitive border location. The rear yard will be 30 feet; all of the setbacks exceed the minimum. 3. Height of buildings The height of the building is 20 feet at the highest point. 4. Parking 22 parking spaces are provided. Bicycle parking spaces are not anticipated since the addition is for storage. The lot is zoned for open display. The entire building contains 10,363 square feet. The addition is 200 square feet over the square foot standard requiring site plan review. Harley Davidson may be willing to add bicycle parking racks. 5. Lot size 40,505 square feet. 6. Lighting Plan No additional site lighting will be added. 7. Signage There will not be a new ground sign constructed. There will be a remodeling to the exterior and a new wall sign is planned, smaller in size than allowed by code. 8. General architectural appearance The addition to the building will be brick on the north and south sides. The west wall will be metal. This approach was approved for the Mathis Brothers Sleep Studio in the event there is another addition to the building in the future. The metal exterior will not be seen from Broadway. The front of the building will be redone with composite metal panels that are architectural in character. Metal was recently used on Carsmetics since the materials were enhanced beyond just a metal wall. A 21x56 foot patio is being added on the south side of the building.
Planning Commission 129 9. Sensitive borders Not applicable. 10. Mechanical equipment Mechanical equipment will not be changed with this construction. 11. Fencing/screening Fencing is not planned and is not required based on the surrounding uses. Engineering Department comments: 12. Driveways, access management and paving The shared driveway to the south of the property will continue to be used. Applebee s is located to the south and another business is located to the west, all sharing the one drive meeting the access management standard. 13. Water and wastewater plans There are no changes to the water and sewer service for this location. 14. Drainage detention and grading A. City atlas shows the existing 20 U/E is located approximately 23 south of and parallel to the north property line. That places a portion of the existing building and proposed addition with the U/E. Building and Fire Code Services comments: 15. Applicable Building Code, Fire Code and ADA Shall provide an egress door from the storage area to the exterior. Urban Forestry comments: Landscaping has been removed from the site; Edmond Electric removed the trees. 16. Harley Davidson is aware they do not meet the landscaping standard percentage or number of plant units. They are required to be reviewed by the City Council for a variance and notices have been mailed for the September 9, 2013 City Council meeting. The total lot area is 40,505 square feet. The primary reason for a variance is the pre-existing condition on the property. Gene Pierce, Engineer for Harley Davidson has submitted the following: Landscaping Required by City of Edmond Code: Landscape Area: Frontage Area: Landscape Units: Frontage Units: 40,505 sf x 10% = 4,051 sf 4,051 sf x 50% = 2,025 sf (4,051 / 250) x 20 = 324 units 324 x 50% = 162 units
Planning Commission 130 Evergreen Units: 324 x 40% = 130 units Landscaping Provided: Landscape Area: approximately 4,700 sf of landscape area has been provided (meets code). Frontage Area: 0 sf provided. The only frontage available to be landscaped is within an easement (landscaping within easements cannot be counted per city code). However, we have provided 1,225 sf of landscaping across the frontage of the site within the easement. There is no more space available along the frontage which makes it impossible to achieve 2,025 sf of required frontage landscape area. Landscape Units: 216 units (we have provided approximately 64% of the required landscape units) There are currently 10 landscape units existing on site around the existing sign (these will be kept). An increase of 206 landscape units has been provided with the proposed plan which utilized the vast amount of the available space within the site. Frontage Units: 0 units (we have provided 85 landscape units along the site's frontage, however they do not count because they are located within an easement. Additionally, the landscaping provided along the front has fully utilized the available space therefore no additional units could be gained along the frontage.) Evergreen Units: 60 units (we have provided approximately 46% of the required evergreen landscape units). These were limited due to available space. Summary: The site currently has minimal landscaping (no trees). The proposed plan provides an exponential increase in landscaping on site while preserving the existing shrubs around the sign. All available, usable space is proposed to be planted. While the proposed Landscape Plan does not meet most of the quantities required by the City of Edmond Code, we believe the plan does fully meet the "intent" of the code. The vast landscaping improvements would be noticed and appreciated by the City, Owner and community. With all of this in mind, we are requesting a Landscape Variance be granted for the Harley Davidson Site. Waste Management comments: 17. Refuse facilities There are no changes to the refuse service at this location. Edmond Electric comments: 18. Electric Electric service is currently provided by Edmond Electric and may be sufficient to accommodate the building expansion. Any required change in service will need to be approved and coordinated through Edmond Electric s Service Crew. Jim Strickland, Manager of the Harley Davidson store was in attendance. He indicated the contractor for a utility company removed the trees that were on the front of the property. Harley Davidson is willing to replace as much landscaping as possible but most
Planning Commission 131 of the space available is located in utility easements and/or drainage easements, which is understood to not qualify for inclusion in the plant unit count. There is limited space for landscaping replacement so much of the landscaping will need to be in utility easements.
