, MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: P.F. 2726 School District Property - Owasso Hills Development. Dennis Welsch, Community Development Director June 8, 1999 Re: Approval of Substitute Driveway (minor PUD change) for Lot 9, Block 7, Owasso Hills. The Community Development Director, after review with the Development Review Committee, has the authority to make minor changes in site plans and planned unit developments. The Community Development Director has been presented with a request to substitute a non- conforming driveway access with one that affords the lot greater utilization ofthe walkout design and one that provides a reduced impact to Owasso Hills Drive. The subject property is located at 554 Owasso Hills Drive, legally described as Lot 9. Block 7, Owasso Hills. The parcel is located at the intersection of Owasso Hills Drive and Hills Court South and is generally shaped like a slice of pie. The Owasso Hills developments utilize Owasso Hills Drive as its main transportation route. Hills Court South is a cul-de-sac with 13 properties and limited vehicular movements. In review of the request, the Community Development Director has found the following: . The subject lot is located on a corner, bounded by Owasso Hills Drive and Hills Court South. . The subject parcel, Lot 9, Block 7, Owasso Hills, is a uniquely shaped lot. . The proposal will remove access from Owasso Hills Drive and provide access off of the less traveled Hills Court South. . Construction of the existing access was completed in error at the time of the Owasso Hills development. . Given the walkout style lot, shifting the driveway access to the west side of the lot could potentially increase the slope of the driveway to a level close to the City's 10% maximum. . The driveway will be limited to a 14 foot width along the Hills Court South property line (within City Right-o.fway) and be located five feet north of the southern property line. . Thefivefoot side yard setbackfor driveways and the utility & drainage easement will be maintained. Based on these facts and findings, the Community Development Director is in general agreement with the driveway access location being relocated from Owasso Hills Drive to Hills Court South, subject to removal of the existing curb cut and replacement per city standards and inclusion of the 14 foot substitute driveway in the location shown on the lot survey.
