Rabbit Run, PUD 235A is a minor amendment to the original PUD 235 that was approved by City Council on April 21, 2015 along with BAZ-1931. The original PUD was a request for a zero lot line, private street, single family detached residential development on 27.40 acres, to be located south and west of the southwest corner of Olive Avenue and New Orleans Street.
PUD 235A Summary:
According to the proposed Rabbit Run PUD 235A, the development is for 115 residential lots and 17 Reserve Areas. The Reserve Areas will be designed as amenities within the development. The development will be gated and will be served by private streets. The private streets will be 26 feet in width and will be constructed within a 30-feet wide reserve area. The streets are proposed to have rolled back curbs. Sidewalks are proposed, but they will be only on one side of the street. The development will have two access locations, one each from New Orleans Street and Olive Avenue.
All of the original sections of the PUD will remain with the following minor changes:
1. Mailboxes will now be permissible within the subdivision instead of at the front entrance. Where mailboxes are located next to the curb the sidewalk will taper to 5 feet allowing 4 feet of non-encumbered sidewalk.
2. Setbacks maybe reduced from 25 feet and 20 feet to 15 feet for a garage provided the garage doors are located at 90 degrees from the street line and the garage is die loaded.
3. A 15-foot setback shall be allowed for habitual portion of the structure provided that any front-facing garage is setback at least 20 feet on lots not required to have a sidewalk and 25 feet on lots required to have a sidewalk.
4. Sidewalks will be constructed along one side of the private streets and in the locations shown on the Access and Circulation Plan attached as Exhibit ‘C”. Sidewalks in the reserve area maybe altered to work with topography and existing trees.
5. The Project will be extensively landscaped and will be screened by a 6-foot high decretive screening wall on the north boundary along New Orleans Street, on the East boundary along Olive Avenue, Along the commercial area along portions of the north and east boundary lines a four (4) foot high wrought iron / aluminum fence will be provided. No fence is required on north boundary of block 5 a lot 1 and property adjacent to existing drainage way. (see Exhibit “D”) If a lot owner would like to have a solid privacy wall they will be allowed to build a brick wall to replace the wrought iron fence. A 6-foot high wood or brick screening fence will be provided along the west and south boundary lines as show on the Landscaping and Screening Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “D”.
An unnamed tributary of Haikey Creek bisects the property from east to west. All of the storm water drainage and creek area is proposed to be located within a reserve area and will generally be left in its natural condition.
PUD 235A is proposed to be developed in accordance with PUD 235, the Broken Arrow Zoning Ordinance and the use and development regulations of the RS-3 district, with modifications.
