Public hearing, consideration, and possible action regarding BAZ-2004, Martha A. Helm Trust, 7.50 acres, A-1 to RS-3, one-half mile north of Houston Street, west of Evans Road
End
Background:
Applicant: Deborah Caskey for Martha A. Helm
Owner: Martha A. Helm Trust
Developer: NA
Engineer: NA
Location: One-half mile north of Houston Street, west of Evans Road
Size of Tract 7.50 acres
Number of Lots: 1
Present Zoning: A-1
Comp Plan: Level 2 (Urban Residential)
BAZ-2004 is a request to change the zoning designation on a 7.50-acre tract from A-1 (Agricultural) to RS-3 (Single-Family Residential). The unplatted property is located one-half mile north of Houston Street, west of Evans Road. The A-1 zoning was assigned to the property when it was annexed into the City Limits on June 2, 1980, with Ordinance 833. There is an existing single family house on the northeast part of the property. The west half of the property is undeveloped.
Applicant is interested in splitting their property into two lots. The existing parcel meets the minimum lot size and lot frontage requirements of the A-1 district. However, the lots proposed with the lot split do not meet the minimum lot size and frontage requirements. Therefore, before the lot split can be addressed, the zoning on the property needs to be modified.
Along the south end of the property, there is a 60-foot wide strip that has a private roadway easement associated with it. This property was recently acquired by the applicant. With this acquisition, both parcels associated with the proposed lot split will have frontage onto public street (i.e. Evans Road). In addition, both properties will meet the minimum lot frontage requirement of the RS-3 district of 60 feet.
According to the FEMA maps, none of the subject property is located in the 100-year floodplain.
Surrounding land uses and zoning classifications include the following:
North: A-1 Large lot single-family residential
East: A-1 (Wagoner County) Large lot single-family residential
South: R-2 (BAZ 1660) and RS-3 Bel Lago Addition and one single family residence
West: A-1 Large lot single-family residential
The property is designated as Level 2 in the Comprehensive Plan. RS-3 zoning is identified as being in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 2.

Recommendation:
Based on the Comprehensive Plan, the location of the property, and the surrounding land uses, Staff recommends that BAZ 2004 be approved. The Zoning Ordinance requires any changes in zoning to be approved subject to platting. Staff recommends that platting be waived, provided right-of-way is dedicated along Evans Road in accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, which is 50 feet from the section line and 17.5 feet of utility easement is provided adjacent to the right-of-way line.
