Planning Commission 75 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 Bill Moyer, Mark Hoose and Kenneth Wohl. Rob Rainey arrived after the meeting started. Present for the City were Robert L. Schiermeyer, City Planner; Phillip Jones, Sustainability Planner; Steve Manek, City Engineer; and Steve Murdock, City Attorney. The first item on the agenda was the approval of the May 20, 2014 Planning Commission minutes. Motion by Moyer seconded by Hoose, to approve the minutes as written. Motion carried by a vote of 3-1 as follows: Rainey was not in attendance at the time of vote. AYES: Members Wohl, Moyer: and Chairperson Moore NAYS: Members: Hoose (Abstained) The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00012 Public Hearing and Consideration of Edmond Plan Amendment from Open Display Commercial Planned Unit Development to Multiple-Family Planned Unit Development on 9.838 acres, located east of Covell Village Drive and south of Uptown Grocery. (Covell & Kelly Group, LLC) The Edmond City Council continued the Plan Amendment and Rezoning for this project at their May 12, 2014 meeting. Since the application had changed, they wanted the Planning Commission to review it again. New notices have been sent to the property owners. The following changes have been made to the original application. 1. A 130 foot wide buffer will be established east of Covell Village Drive. 2. The total number of apartment units for the 9.83 acre tract will be 160. Based on the Planned Unit Development there will be no more than 301 units for both Phase I and Phase II of the 1201 Apartments originally referred to as the Enclave Apartments. 3. A berm will be extended on the west side of this project to the north boundary line of the 1201 Apartments and the berm near the oil well will be filled in. 4. Filling in the berm should create a complete site screen from the residential area. 5. The owner has agreed to build a larger than standard sidewalk connecting the two phases. 6. No satellite dishes will be allowed on the exterior of the buildings. 7. The buildings will be no less than 60% brick or stone on the exterior surface.
Planning Commission 76 8. The homeowners will retain access of the existing lake at no charge to them individually or to the homeowners association. 9. The apartment owner will continue to be owner of the lake. The apartment owners are solely responsible for the maintenance and repair of the detention lake. 10. The owner has agreed that the sign approved by the City will not have light (bleeding) spread into the neighborhood. 11. No access from Phase II to Covell Village Drive. The PUD design statement provides that there is no access to Covell Village Drive unless required by the Fire Marshal at the time of the site plan. The fire code standard requires the apartments to be fire sprinkled and provide adequate fire low and water pressure. This can be addressed with proper looping of the lines and increase water line size may be required. A report can be provided by the Fire Department regarding the access for a more definitive answer. 12. The two buildings closest to Covell Village Drive will be two story only. 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 adjacent to the site; 160 new units are planned, with two and three story construction, and a fire sprinkler system will be mandatory. Interior water lines, with fire hydrants properly sized and looped for service from more than one direction will also be required. Sanitary sewer is also available and is of sufficient capacity to serve. The entire multi-family project will now consists of 301 units on 20.29 acres. 2. Traffic: This location is on collector streets within the Covell Village PUD. There are no traffic counts on the street. Access will be possible on Covell and Kelly, along Covell Village Drive. The project has access to the north, adjacent to the Uptown Shopping Center. 3. Existing zoning pattern: North E-2 PUD South C-3 PUD East E-2 PUD West A Single-Family PUD 4. Land Use: North Uptown Grocery and connected shopping center. South 141 units of Enclave at Covell Village, to be called 1201 Apartments at Covell Village. East Lowe s Home Improvement Center West Single-Family homes 5. Density: 15.6 units per acre. This does include the lake/detention area, but that is standard practice. For PUD s such as the Stonebridge Apartments on South
Planning Commission 77 Boulevard. The plat for Enclave now 1201 Apartments may need to be corrected to identify one multiple family project. 6. Land ownership pattern: North Larger ownership as a shopping center. South 1201 Apartments, owned by Enclave Apartments at Covell Village. East A larger ownership to the east (Lowe s) West Single-Family detached homes 7. Physical features: Partially developed property. Grades have been established by previous development of the surrounding property. 8. Special conditions: Currently zoned commercial. The Plan Amendment parcel contains 9.83 acres. Multi-family in the general area includes The Greens @ Coffee Creek (319 units), Crown Ridge of Edmond (160 units), Victoria Park on Kelly, and Sequoyah Place Condos. 9. Location of Schools and School Land: The nearest schools are Cheyenne Middle School, Edmond North High School, and John Ross Elementary. 10. Compatibility to Edmond Plan: The Edmond Plan was anticipating commercial in accordance with the Covell Village PUD. The current developer of the 1201 Apartments would like to develop a second phase. 11. Site Plan Review: There will be a site plan review. Staff understands these apartments may have a different architectural appearance than the existing project. Randal Shadid spoke representing the applicant indicating that a series of agreements to improve the site plan are listed in the amended PUD Design Statement. He indicated the apartments would provide no more traffic than the commercial and the pattern for apartments has already been established. Travis Dixon at 1316 Glen Cove Drive spoke in opposition based on the increase in traffic which is already heavy in this area. He expected commercial when he bought his home and he prefers no change. Terrance Williams on Glen Cove Drive spoke in opposition indicating that traffic on Covell alone was sufficient to not encourage additional trips from a multi-family complex. Walter Jenny representing the ENA spoke in opposition indicating that the area is not appropriate for more multi-family residential for access purposes, pedestrian access, compatibility of structures and buffer to the existing single family. Ed Moore with the ENA also spoke in opposition. Shannon Snyder was told by the builder that the area would be commercial and that is what she expected. Guy Jackson spoke in opposition. He described the October 19, 2009 fire at the original Enclave Apartments where people were confined to their homes for 17 hours because the fire continued to burn due to high winds. There were 43 emergency vehicles required on site. The multi-story structures and large building coverage of an apartment complex is not compatible to a single family residential area and as a buffer to the commercial along Kelly and Covell. The size of the possible commercial building, for the subject 9 acres, will fit what was expected for the neighborhood at the appropriate scale. Lisa Fulture opposed the rezoning indicating that
Planning Commission 78 the school traffic alone was a hazard adding substantial traffic near the Uptown Market. Mary Carver spoke in opposition. Kim Perkinson spoke in opposition in regards to traffic both inside the addition and along Covell. Randal Shadid indicated the owner had held the property for 10 years and it was not good commercial property. Commissioner Kenneth Wohl indicated that he lived in Stonebridge Addition which has even more apartments near the single family addition along Boulevard and he felt that there were no adverse traffic impacts and that there was adequate buffer between the single family and multi-family in both projects. Commissioner Rob Raney was concerned about the loss of this amount of commercial land particularly in this quadrant of the city. Chairman Moore indicated that the 12 new conditions of the PUD were not sufficient by his consideration but they were good additions. As a whole the project was not compatible and was wrong for this area and a substantial change from the PUD described to the residents. Approximately 25 people were in attendance opposing this request. Motion by Wohl, seconded by Hoose, to approve this request. Motion failed by a vote of 1-4 as follows: AYES: Members Wohl : NAYS: Members: Hoose, Rainey, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00013 Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning from E-2 Open Display Commercial Planned Unit Development and C-3 High Density Multiple-Family Planned Unit Development to Multiple-Family Planned Unit Development on 20.29 acres, for 1201 Apartments located east and north of Covell Village Drive. (Covell & Kelly Group, LLC and Enclave Apartments Covell Village, LLC) The Enclave Apartments Covell Village, LLC would like to build a second phase of what is now referred to as 1201 Apartments. The new phase may not match the architectural appearance of the four story building that is still being completed. The maximum density is 16 units per acre. There could be 301 units on the 20.29 acres. The lake can be counted in this PUD toward the density. The staff understands that the existing clubhouse on Covell Village Drive is excluded and is not part of the apartment project; that parcel contains 1.18 acres and is currently owned by Covell Village Residential Association Inc. at 3540 S. Boulevard, Suite 200. That property is not part of the legal description for the apartments and is not being counted as part of the density for this new project. With the amended request even if there is no driveway or access to Covell Village Drive, it may be necessary to have a water line connection on Covell Village Drive for the 160 unit Phase II to provide for the best water pressure and water flow. Connecting to just the water line immediately south of the Uptown Grocery may not be sufficient. If the rezoning is approved, staff will suggest that a new plat be filed excluding the clubhouse and including the existing apartment development under the same ownership as the second phase planned for 160 units. The existing 1201 Apartments (originally Enclave Apartments) contain 141 units. Numerous people appeared and spoke in opposition to this project, as set out above.
Planning Commission 79 Motion by Wohl, seconded by Hoose, to approve this request. Motion failed by a vote of 1-4 as follows: AYES: Members Wohl: NAYS: Members: Hoose, Rainey, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00021 Public Hearing and Consideration of Edmond Plan Amendment from Restricted Commercial to Multi-family PUD located on the north side of Danforth, west of Coltrane. (TCG Development) The following general planning considerations represent some of the factors evaluated in reviewing justifications for Plan Map Amendments. 1. Infrastructure: A 12 inch water main is located along Danforth and will need to be extended and looped to serve this property. A sewer line is located to the north in the Fair Cloud Addition and will need to be verified for capacity to serve the 145 units planned. 2. Traffic: Danforth is four lane in front of this property at least 70 feet of right of way is needed on Danforth to meet the Transportation Plan Standards. One of the driveways is shown with curves indicating an entrance only. That detail will be reviewed with the site plan and or plat. 3. Existing zoning pattern: North A Single Family South A Single Family/Church Special Use Permit East Undeveloped West Acreage lot one home 4. Land Use: North Single family detached homes South Church East Undeveloped West Single family detached homes 5. Density: 14.5 units per acre 6. Land ownership pattern: North Individual owners with single family homes South Church single owner East Undeveloped retained by seller of subject property West Single individual owner on acreage lot 7. Physical features: Flat terrain, native tree cover 8. Special conditions: No unique conditions
Planning Commission 80 9. Location of Schools and School Land: The nearest school is Northern Hills Elementary, and several miles to the north east is Centennial Elementary School. 10. Compatibility to Edmond Plan: Not compatible with the Edmond Plan where commercial has zoned and projected. 11. Site Plan Review: A preliminary plat, final plat and site plan will be required. Attorney Randal Shadid represented the applicant and indicated that a shopping center would have a greater impact on the surrounding lots than the project as planned with one story cottages on the north, one story assisted living in the center of the ten acres and a two story building along Danforth. He indicated he had met with the residents of Faircloud Addition and was willing to provide for a masonry fence along the north. Dave Purdy at 1501 Sweet Briar Court objected to the rezoning indicating that this was a massive building and was not compatible with low density single family dwellings to the north. Nora Beckham at 1508 Sweet Briar Court spoke in opposition indicating that the 25 foot setback from the north property line is not adequate. She feels that even a brick wall is not compatible with existing residential character. She was also concerned about the drainage. Mr. Joe Brown at 2305 Faircloud Drive opposed the rezoning indicating that a substantial buffer area is needed. Steve Wiley 1909 Faircloud Court represented the homeowners association and indicated he did not oppose the project but did sympathize with the neighbors adjacent to the property in regards to the drainage and density issues. Gordon Amini also spoke in opposition and indicated that he lived to the west and objected to the density, drainage and large buildings size planned. Ed Moore spoke in opposition for the ENA opposing high density at this location without adequate buffers. David Payne asked how large the buildings would be and it was indicated it would be 140,000 square feet. Commissioner Hoose commented that he would rather have a shopping center at this location rather than the multi-story building of the size proposed. Motion by Hoose, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion failed by a vote of 2-3 as follows: AYES: Members: Moyer, Wohl NAYS: Members: Hoose, Rainey and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00022 Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning for D-1 Restricted Commercial District to Planned Unit Development located generally north of Danforth (TCG Development) Attorney Randal Shadid representing Prime Development Corporation, Inc and TCG Development is requesting rezoning from Commercial to Multi-family Residential Planned Unit Development. This 10 acre project would propose 145 dwelling units constructed in three different type structures. The project consists of 40 residential units in a two story independent living building located in the south end of the property. There would also be a one story 97 residential unit structure for assisted living. The independent living would consist of one and two bedroom units. The assisted living would include memory care, one and two bedroom semi-private units and studios. The four cottages on the north are
Planning Commission 81 duplex structures for a total of eight units. The circulation into the development will be private. The project will have to be served with water, sewer and drainage detention. The land to the east is E-2 open display and is undeveloped. The land to the west is A Single Family, the land to the north is zoned A Single Family and includes the Fair Cloud Addition. The materials on the building are brick and stucco. The buildings will have pitched roofs. The property was zoned Commercial 29 years ago. The residents comments as set out above applied to the rezoning request. Motion by Hoose, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion failed by a vote of 1-4 as follows: AYES: Members: Wohl NAYS: Members: Hoose, Rainey, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00017 Public Hearing and Consideration of Edmond Plan Amendment from PUD and ELU to Multi-family PUD for the Memorial Pointe Senior Apartments generally located on the northwest corner of Rhode Island and Memorial Road. (Titan Investment Group LLC) The following general planning considerations represent some of the factors evaluated in reviewing justifications for Plan Map Amendments. 1. Infrastructure: The Old Village Addition on the northwest corner of Jordan and Memorial was served by using Oklahoma City water along Memorial Road. The City of Edmond recently extended water lines to serve that addition rather than to purchase water from Oklahoma City. This project will use the Edmond water lines but there may need to be a looped water line installed bases on the three story construction and the 48 units planned. The expense of that water line looping will be at the developers cost. Sanitary sewer lines are available to the north. 2. Traffic: The plans indicate a driveway on Memorial Road and Rhode Island. The traffic light on Memorial is operated of City of Oklahoma City. The property on the north east corner of Jordan and Memorial is a separate owner, and there is not automatic access across that property to use a traffic light. The traffic light would have to be adjusted for four way traffic movement. 3. Existing zoning pattern: North A Single Family South Oklahoma City East A Singel Family West D-1 Restricted Commercial 4. Land Use: North Single Family Homes South Single Family Homes East Single Family Homes
Planning Commission 82 West Undeveloped 5. Density: 15 units per acre as requested 6. Land ownership pattern: North Individual homeowners South Individual homeowners East - Individual homeowners West 2 acre lot undeveloped 7. Physical features: land is flat 8. Special conditions: none 9. Location of Schools and School Land: not applicable, nearest school is a mile and three quarters to the north east. 10. Compatibility to Edmond Plan: This 3 acre tract was a uniquely planned property for a self storage facility. The E-1 PUD allowed only a self storage and the ELU only allowed a self storage. Years ago a convenience store was denied on this property. 11. Site Plan Review: Is required Attorney Randal Shadid represented the applicant requesting approval. Mike Snyder 4610 Jordan Avenue supported the project as long as it was for senior housing. Mr. Glen Sharp at 1616 Grey Fox Run in Oklahoma City was concerned about traffic and drainage. Motion by Hoose, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Hoose, Wohl Rainey, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00018 Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning from PUD and ELU Commercial Districts to Multi-family Planned Unit Development to be known as Memorial Pointe Senior Housing, located on the north side of Memorial Road, west of Rhode Island (Titan Investment Group, LLC) Attorney Randal Shadid representing the owner Titan Investment Group and the developer Bywater Development Group and they are requesting that 3.2 acres be rezoned for a multi-family project. The developer is planning 48 units in a three story building for senior housing. This request will be submitted to OHFA for assistance. The property to the north is developed as the Leavitts North Park Addition consisting of single family homes and a variety of lot sizes..the land to the south is in Oklahoma City, Memorial Road both east and west lanes are in Oklahoma City limits. The overall density is 15 units per acre. The three story building will contain 38,347 sq ft.
Planning Commission 83 The property on the northeast of Jordan and Memorial is a separate owner. That property is zoned D-1 Restricted Commercial. This property on the corner is the one adjacent to the traffic signal on Memorial Road and is part of the Oklahoma City traffic equipment. The PUD Plan does not show any access to that property, there is one drive on Rhode Island and one on Memorial Road based on the PUD Plan. Until recently Edmond used Oklahoma City water on Memorial Road for smaller lots in the south side of Leavitts North Park Addition. The City of Edmond recently extended the waterline for the purpose of removing the Oklahoma City connection. The waterline is not looped between Jordan and Rhode Island and a study will need to be undertaken by the developer to insure that there will be enough pressure and flow for a three story building. The building will have to be fire sprinkled but this is does not insure the pressure and water flow needed for fire hydrants. Sanitary sewer is available for service. The original use was planned for a self storage facility and was a combination of an E-1 level PUD and the ELU zoning that is in place. Motion by Moyer, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Moyer, Wohl, Hoose, Rainey and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00015 Public Hearing and Consideration of Edmond Plan Amendment from Mixed Use Business to Single Family Residential, west of Air Depot, north of Danforth (Kyle Copeland) The following general planning considerations represent some of the factors evaluated in reviewing justifications for Plan Map Amendments. 1. Infrastructure: There is a water line along Air Depot (12 inch line) that was installed as part of the offsite addition from Woodland Park Improvements. There is no sewer extending through the property at this time but there is a sewer to the north at the Cross Timbers Municipal Complex. 2. Traffic: There are no traffic counts on Air Depot at this time. Traffic will continue to increase based on the Hampdon Hollow Addition, Covell Valley Addition, Cross Timbers Complex, recycling center and eventually the forth high school, as well as development to the east such as Thunder Canyon Addition. Danforth traffic will also increase. 3. Existing zoning pattern: North F-1 Light PUD South A Single Family rural lot sizes East G-A Agricultural West Rural lot in the Sleepy Hollow Addition 4. Land Use: North Cross Timber Municipal Complex South Kanally Collegewood Acres
Planning Commission 84 East Large ownerships farm houses West Sleepy Hollow Addition 2acres 5. Density: Edmond Plan suggest commercial the proposed residential would be approximately 3.5 units per acre. 6. Land ownership pattern: North City of Edmond South One and two acre lots Collegewood Acres East - Agricultural West Two acre lots Mr. Neimeyer owns a home east of Sleepy Hollow north of Danforth southwest of the subject parcel. 7. Physical features: rolling terrain 8. Special conditions: Utilities along the Air Depot corridor a mile east utilities are not generally available 9. Location of Schools and School Land: No schools near the site. Edmond School District owns 80 acres to the northeast. 10. Compatibility to Edmond Plan: not compatible with the Edmond Plan 11. Site Plan Review: Site plan would not be required a preliminary and final plat would be required for residential. Attorney Randal Shadid representing the applicant requested that at least 110 acres be identified for single family homes rather than the mixed use business shown on the plans. The buyer has no plans for a mixed use business park and is willing to leave some of the land on the northwest corner of Danforth and Air Depot for future commercial but has no interest for commercial development. Mr. Shadid had indicated that the high school site was purchased for future homes to be the nearby land use. Damon Wingfield at 1801 Sleepy Hollow was a little concerned about the lot size. Jane Douglas 2121 Air Depot was concerned about City of Edmond traffic and a pond that was on her property where the ownership line extends through the middle of the pond. Motion by Hoose seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Hoose, Wohl, Rainey, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00016 Public Hearing and Consideration of Rezoning from G-A General Agricultural to A Single Family Dwelling District on 104 acres west of Air Depot, north of Danforth (Kyle Copeland)
Planning Commission 85 Attorney Randal Shadid is representing Kyle Copeland in requesting that land west of Air Depot, east of I-35 be rezoned for a new Single Family Addition called Hedgerow. The land is currently owned by Clayton Niemeyer and is zoned Agricultural. The land to the west is developed as Sleepy Hollow Addition, the land to the north is developed as the Cross Timbers Municipal Complex, which is zoned F-1 Light Industrial PUD. There is an acreage development to the south, the land to the east and southeast is undeveloped. Edmond School District owns a 80 acre parcel to the northeast. City water is available along Air Depot, sanitary sewer could be extended from the City property or from the intersection of Covell and Air Depot. The Edmond Plan has projected the property for Mixed Use Business. That projection was based in part on the availability of utilities, and accessibility a short distance east of I- 35. There is not an over zoned condition for Commercial uses in Edmond. The Mixed Use Business would allow for a variety of retail, office and general business. Motion by Hoose, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Hoose, Wohl, Rainey, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #SP14-00009 Public Hearing and Consideration of Site Plan approval for 27 senior housing units for Mon Abri located south of Covell Road east of Broadway (R.W. Development) Planning Department comments: 1. Existing zoning Multi-family PUD 2. Setbacks As a PUD there are no set backs from the private streets or the side yards. There is a set back on the eastern boundary of 20 feet and that will be from the property line to the building wall. There is also a fence and retaining wall that will be installed on the eastern boundary, adjacent to the first phase. This first phase contains 9 buildings plus a club house. The total number of units in phase I are 27 units. The detention is located south of the subject phase and phase II is planned to the north. The plat has already been approved and with that approval all the water, sewer, paving and drainage will be completed. 3. Height of buildings - 33 feet 4. Parking Each unit will have a parking space and there is also guest parking in accordance to the original PUD. This project is Senior Housing. 5. Lot size 11.77 acres 6. Lighting Plan Lighting plan has been provided. The lights are low profile. Light poles are at 6 ft but will not exceed 8 ft and there will be wallpacks on the building.

Planning Commission 87 Urban Forestry comments: 16. Lot area = 1533.36 sf % required = 10 % Landscape area required: 15333.6 SP landscape area: 15334 Frontage area required: 0 SP frontage area: 0 Total PU required: 1227 SP total PU: 2885 PU within frontage required: 0 SP PU within frontage: 0 Evergreen PU required: 491 SP evergreen PU: 2885 The landscape plan with this application accounts for the first "phase" of the project. Due to the setbacks being minimal the project landscaping is along the perimeter and common areas and not in front of the individual units. Waste Management comments: 17. Refuse facilities Green residential carts will be used for each unit. 18. Electric Edmond Electric will serve and easements will be provided. Ron Walters represented the application. Linda Schafer spoke indicating that she had a check list of approximately 12 items. She asked that when the grading, drainage, paving plans were completed by the Walters Engineer that she would be able to look at those to verify the retaining wall adjacent to the Timberdale Cove Addition. This is the location where the fence is to be replaced. Chairman Barry K. Moore asked Mr. Walters would meet with Ms. Schafer and address the questions she is asking. He indicated that he would do this with the approved plans. Chairman Moore thanked Ms. Schafer for her efforts to follow through on working with the owner. 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 #SP110008 Public Hearing and Consideration of Site Plan approval for an addition to Petra Industries Inc. at 2101 S.

The parking lot will be extended along the sides of the warehouse for additional parking and fire access. The building will be fire sprinkled. This facility is located south of Kelly Pointe Drive and Kelly Pointe Parkway, west of Kelly. Planning Department comments:
Planning Commission 88 1. Existing zoning F-1 Light Industrial 2. Setbacks The side yard setback from the south property line is 114 feet, the setback from the north property line is 123 feet. The new building will be immediately adjacent to existing building and is setback over 500 feet from Kelly. 3. Height of building 40 feet 4. Parking 109 spaces are being added. The south side of the building contains docks and there is extra paving on that side. Bicycle parking racks will be added. 5. Lot size Petra owns 10 acres of land. The addition is on approximately 239,000 sq ft of land. 6. Lighting Plan The lighting will be from wall packs located on the building. The land surrounding the property is zoned F-1 Light Industrial, including the land east of Kelly. There is no sensitive border and no pole lights are planned. 7. Signage No new signage is planned. 8. General architectural appearance The exterior walls will match the existing tilt-up construction. Concrete panels include reveals and windows for the upper level of the warehouse. Concrete colors will match the existing building. 9. Sensitive borders There are no sensitive borders adjacent to this use. Mechanical equipment will be located on the ground for the most part. The building also has a standing seam metal roof. 10. Mechanical equipment Mechanical equipment will be located on the ground for the most part. The building also has a standing seam metal roof. 11. Fencing/screening No fencing or screening is required. Engineering Department comments: 12. Driveways, access management and paving No new drives are planned on Kelly. New drives will be added on Kelly Pointe Drive and Kelly Pointe Parkway. These drives are on commercial streets and driveways are permitted closer together on the side. 13. Water and wastewater plans City water and sewer are already adjacent to the lot and will be extended for the building addition. The building will have a fire sprinkler system which was planned with the earlier phases. 14. Drainage detention and grading Drainage was done on an area wide basis. A new grading and erosion control plan has been provided.
Planning Commission 89 Building and Fire Code Services comments: 15. Applicable Building Code, Fire Code and ADA Building Fire Sprinklers: The building was reviewed with the understanding fire sprinklers will be installed. Fire flow: The firefighter water flow required is 6500 gallons per minute, however, since the building is fire sprinkled the fire flow can be reduced by one half to 3250 gallons per minute. Fire Hydrant location: A fire hydrant will be needed at the southwest end of the parking lot. The water line will need to be extended from the southeast fire hydrant to complete a looped 8 inch water line on the south side from Kelly to Kelley Point Parkway. Gates: None 16. Landscape Plan: This F-1 Light Industrial Zoned Site allows for 5% landscaping. The original building has been substantially landscaped and the trees have been maintained and have matured. Petra is adding landscaping along the sides of the building and the landscaping extends to the west adjacent to Kelley Pointe Parkway. With such a large land area addition, there appears to be the possibility of counting the existing trees located along the streets and including the arterial street, encouraged in industrial locations. The property on the west side of the building is being set aside for landscaping. Community image is continuing to document the total plant units on site. Waste Management comments: 17. Refuse facilities The property is already served by the City of Edmond Sanitation Department. Edmond Electric comments: 18. Electric The property is already served by Edmond Electric. A new transformer will be located on the northwest corner of the site. David Payne spoke requesting approval. No one spoke in opposition. Motion by Hoose, seconded by Wohl, to approve this request. Motion carried by a vote of 5-0 as follows: AYES: Members: Hoose, Wohl, Rainey, Moyer and Chairperson Moore The next item on the agenda was Case #Z14-00019 Public Hearing and Consideration of Edmond Plan Amendment from Restricted Light Industrial to High Density Multi-
Planning Commission 90 family generally located 1/8 of east of Kelly Avenue, ¼ mile north of 15 th Street. (Rich Smith Development, LLC). The following general planning considerations represent some of the factors evaluated in reviewing justifications for Plan Map Amendments. 1. Infrastructure: Water is not available to the property at this time and will need to be extended off site and possibly looped to serve the proposed use. Sewer is near but will have to be engineered for the proposed use. Utility easements will be needed to serve, possibly off-site easements. 2.

(Rich Smith Development, LLC). Arby Smith with Rich Smith Development, LLC is requesting five acres of multi-family zoning for a Senior Housing development. This project would contain 52 units, constructed in a three story building. The developer does intend to apply to OHFA and that will limit the residents to 62 years or older. The property is part of a 15 acre tract owned by Phillip Patterson that has been zoned for approximately 36 years. There is an Ogden Flood Plain across most of the western part of this property nearest to Kelly Avenue. The developer will have to extend a drive way across the flood plain and provide for the appropriate drainage structure/bridge to accommodate the flood plain. The developer is not purchasing all the land owned by Mr. Patterson in the eastern part of these 15 acres. The driveway needs to be 26 feet wide and at the very least will have to be a cross access easement. In this case the bridge structure will have to be maintained by the developer. Another option would be to provide this access as a public street hopefully connecting additional properties to the north or the south at some time in the future. Whether the access is private or public it needs to allow for two way traffic, service and emergency vehicles. In addition the developer will have to extend a water line into the site which provides for appropriate water flow and pressure for the three story building. The waterline will have to be sized to meet the requirement of 8 inch or more or it will have to be a loop system connected to another waterline which is not immediately adjacent to the subject site. While the building may have a fire sprinkler system due to the three story construction the water pressure and flow will also have to meet fire department requirements. The fire department has also indicated the need for an emergency access from another direction than Kelly Avenue. The Apple Village Mobile Home Park to the east is the nearest possible access, and the developer will have to receive approval from that property owner to access the mobile home park. There may be other options such as north to Evergreen Street for the secondary emergency access. All of these requirements are minimum and mandatory and the developer is aware of them. The engineering studies
Planning Commission 92 that would document how these requirements are meet would be presented with the preliminary plat, final plat and site plan. Applicant appeared, no one spoke in opposition.
