Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, August 04, 2010 Page 8 Mr. McKane noted similarities for the 593 City-owned parcel adjacent to LR. 346 Mr. Paschke noted that the 593 parcel is part of the park system and was guided 347 accordingly. 348 Chad Adams, 556 West County Road C 349 Mr. Adams advised that when Owasso Hills was developed, there was much 350 discussion about preserving parks and wetlands; and questioned if the property 351 shouldn’t be retained for future park land. 352 Mr. Paschke clarified that the City had no intent to acquire the parcel for POS; 353 but didn’t know if a private property owner could acquire it. 354 3099, 3107, 3115 Evelyn Street 355 Mr. Paschke opined that this property, while privately owned, may have at one 356 tiemm been considered by the City for storm water ponding; but that the City no 357 longer had any interest in acquiring it for such a purpose. 358 Gerald Ode, 3074 Evelyn Street 359 Mr. Ode advised that he had owned the house at this address for over thirty (30) 360 years; and sought the reason why the developer had been allowed to build 361 homes on the lots designated for water ponding when he, as a homeowner, had 362 been assured that there would be no homes built there. 363 Mr. Paschke suggested that the homes may have pre-dated the land use 364 designation. 365 Mr. Ode advised his home had been built in 1977 and at that time, he had been 366 advised by the builder that the lots in question were designated for a pond and 367 had been given the impression that the existing trees would remain on the west 368 side. Mr. Ode expressed confusion in how he could have been misrepresented 369 by the developer without ramifications brought forth by the City. 370 Discussion included land use designations; research needed to determine how 371 the area was designated for land use in 1977; and current Building Permit 372 practices and processes. 373 Farrington Court – Private property 374 Staff recommended designation of this parcel from POS to LR. 375 Heinel Drive – Private property 376 Mr. Paschke advised that this strip of property provides access to Lake Owasso; 377 and that the current designation of POS should be corrected to LR to be 378 consistent with adjacent parcels. 379 Betty Wolfangle, 837 Heinel Drive 380 Ms. Wolfangle advised that 837 Heinel Drive was their private property and that 381 the strip of land was alongside their house, and dropped significantly to a creek 382 or ditch with water entering from Bennett and through Lake Owasso; with the 383 other side of the strip and creek was Central Park wetland area. Ms. Wolfangle, 384 speaking for residents along Heinel Drive, suggested that it seemed appropriate 385 that this strip of land become private property or a part of Central Park. 386 Mr. Paschke advised that the parcel was privately owned and therefore should 387 not be guided as POS; and assured Ms. Wolfangle that there were no plans by 388 the City to develop this private property in any way; and reiterated that the 389 proposed changes were simply to correct past inaccuracies. 390 2986 Lexington Avenue and 1165 Josephine Road 391 Mr. Paschke advised that, for a number of years, these parcels had been 392 designated POS, and since they both have single-family homes built on them, 393 they should be designated LR. 394
