Presentation:
Charles Norman stated he
represented the applicant, Victory Christian Center and School, in this case.
The application includes
approximately 25 acres on the west side of the drainage channel, which is part
of the old Joe Creek creek-bed on the west side of Lewis Avenue. This application was continued on two
occasions. He stated that one
permitted the applicant to discuss the location of the proposed football stadium
with the developer of the townhome project located immediately to the north, and
second as a result of additional planning by the school administrators. Mr. Norman explained that the proposed
football and soccer field would be immediately west of the existing baseball
field and softball field as shown in the most current site plan. The stadium bleachers will be designed
to accommodate no more than 2,800 fans, and 700 off-street parking spaces would
be temporary until the high school is instructed. Mr. Norman indicated that the
various ballgames would not occur at the same time. This would meet the requirement for one
car per every four stadium seats.
Mr. Norman described the proposed lighting standards would result in
virtually no spillover lighting to the west, and directed downward as indicated
by the exhibit to the Board. Mr.
Norman stated that the applicant requests a variance of requirement for high
schools to be located adjacent to an arterial street. In this instance, he explained there is
access to Lewis Avenue from the west side of the campus over an existing
roadway. He pointed out the
Wheeling, to the west, is a collector street with center medians and turn bays
and is adequate to handle the traffic resulting from normal school
activities. Mr. Norman added that
copies of the plans have been provided to the developer of the property to the
north and they are satisfied and in support of the
application.
Comments and
Questions:
Ms. Turnbo had a question regarding the
staff comments on the proposed parking lot. Mr. Beach replied that a question had
been raised about the parking lot, that it might be gravel. Mr. Norman stated that the applicant is
aware of the requirements for a dust-free parking and would meet the
requirements.
Interested
Parties/Protestants:
None.
Board
Action:
On
MOTION
of Dunham,
the Board voted 4-0-0 (White, Dunham, Turnbo, Perkins, "aye"; no "nays"; no
"abstentions"; Cooper "absent") to APPROVE
a Special Exception
to permit the Use Unit 5, Private High School Education and Athletic Buildings
and Athletic Facilities and Fields as shown on Phase I and Phase II Site Plans

off-street parking requirements in Use Unit 5, Section 1205.C of the Zoning Code
to permit the minimum of 700 off-street parking spaces provided for the 2800
capacity football and soccer stadium bleachers to satisfy the combined
off-street parking requirements for the football/soccer stadium, the high school
education and athletic facilities buildings and the baseball and softball
fields; and a Variance of the requirement of Section 1205.B.2.a.,
that high schools shall have their principal vehicular entrance and exit on an
arterial street, per plan labeled amended Exhibit C, finding the hardship to be
the flood plane and the access already provided, on the following described

Requested:
Variance
of side yard requirement from 5 and 10 to 1 and 4.7 to allow a lot
split. SECTION 403. BULK AND AREA REQUIREMENTS IN THE
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS Use Unit 6, located at 1516 E. 21st
St.
Presentation:
The
applicant, Mike Marrara, 9936 E. 55th Pl., stated that he was
hired to do a survey at 1516 E. 21st St. for the owner, before
landscaping and constructing a fence.
He informed the Board that the survey identified that the garage on the
property to the east was actually encroaching on the subject property. Mr. Marrara stated that the actual lot
lines did not coincide with where the property line appeared to be. He suggested that a lot split would
adjust the lot line to take care of the encroaching garage and create a new line
that parallels the side of that garage and the stucco wall currently in
place. He added that all of the
improvements at this point have been on the property for quite some time.
Protestants:
None.
Board
Action:
On MOTION
of Turnbo,
the Board voted 3-0-1 (, Dunham, Turnbo, Perkins "aye"; no "nays"; White
"abstains"; Cooper "absent") to APPROVE
the Variance
of side yard requirement from 5 and 10 to 1 and 4.7 to allow a lot split,
finding the hardship that it is an existing lot and a very small variance so
there can be two houses on this tract.
Lots 10 & 11, Block

Presentation:
Stephen
Schuller, 500 OneOk Plaza, 100 W. 5th St., represented John and
Susan Sharp, owners of Sharp Automotive group, that has a discount auto repair
on the subject property. He stated
the subject property is zoned CS, as are the properties in both directions on
the same side of 11th Street, the property on the south directly
across the street is zoned CS, the property behind the subject property to the
north is RS-3, but contains a commercial or industrial facility known as Whitco
Spring Sales. He described this
portion of 11th Street as a six-lane and grass median. In 1988 this property was approved for a
Special Exception for use unit 17 automotive uses. He stated that the applicants have
several automotive sales businesses, and this one would be to service and repair
autos for sale at their sales facilities.
Mr. Schuller stated that the applicants are not in the business of
salvage, and they are motivated to complete the repairs to sell the cars. He indicated that the since the facility
on the RS-3 zoned property is industrial there would not be any point to screen
from a residential property. He
stated that would be consistent with this Boards previous action, Case No.
13934 in 1986, which waived the screening requirement for the property next door
to the west of the subject property.
Mr. Schuller submitted photographs of the property, dead-end street and
the gravel parking, taken a little over a month ago.
Comments and
Questions:
Ms. Turnbo
asked how many parking spaces are on the paved parking in front. Mr. Schuller replied that they are
required to have at least five and they have five or more in front. Ms. Turnbo asked Ms. Parnell when
another set of pictures was taken.
Ms. Parnell replied that they were taken about six weeks ago. Ms. Turnbo informed Mr. Schuller that
the pictures show a car parked in the right-of-way, with one wheel in the
street, and several cars parked outside the chain link fence in the
right-of-way. He stated that he
informed the applicant that parking cars in that manner would not be
permissible. Ms. Turnbo also noted
that there is a citation for not cutting weeds and not maintaining the
property. She asked if he is going
to keep the property maintained.
Mr. Schuller stated he did not see any when he was there on Saturday, and
the rear parking lot is graveled, so it appears that is under control. Mr. White asked how many lots the
business uses. Mr. Schuller replied
two or three sales businesses in addition to this repair business. Ms. Turnbo asked how many cars could be
parked on the gravel parking lot.
He responded that he did not know.
Protestants:
Nancy
Craten,
representing Western Village and Mingo Valley Neighborhood Associations, stated
they have several concerns regarding this property. She stated that they have been aware of
this property for some time, when too many cars were parked there. She explained that when the use unit 17
was granted the neighborhood understood that it was for camper sales. She stated that there is a lot of
difference in camper sales and what is now located there. She indicated that they are running
Eastside Towing out of the back part of the property, with a big sign on the
side, which is also visible from 11th Street. She mentioned that the cars in back are
visible from 11th Street, because Ditch Witch sits back from the
street. She stated that Ditch Witch
is a beautiful facility with attractive grounds. She pointed out that there is a picture
of a large, beautiful home in the back of the subject property, and the
association would like to protect this home and others that could located in
that area. She also called
attention to the pictures of cars that were parked on the property this past
weekend, with dates on some of the windows of the cars. She stated that the grass was growing up
around the cars and it looked bad, and the pictures show that grass is starting
to grow up there again.
Comments and
Questions:
Mr. White informed the Board that this past weekend there were approximately 45 vehicles in the lot behind and about 15 in the front.
Protestants:
James
Mautino,
14628 E. 12th Street, on the Board of Tower Heights Neighborhood
Association, stated he counted 60 cars, boats and trailers in the back and
roughly 30 cars in front on Sunday.
He stated that some of the vehicles would require a lot of work,
including bodywork. He reminded the
Board that there is no bodywork facility there, and the repair shop only has two
bays. He pointed out that some of
the cars have the trunks open and windows broken, and do not look like cars
being prepared to sell.
Interested
Parties:
Mildred
Whiten,
10883½ E. 11th Street, stated she is the owner of Whitco
Springs. She informed the Board
that as long as she has lived there she has seen a great many changes in the
area. She reminded them of the
flood in 1984, and it took a long time to clean up the area. She stated that Mr. Sharp has tried to
clean up and built a new fence, and put in gravel. She does not object to the
application.
Comments
and Questions:
Mr. White asked if Ms. Whiten lives in the house. Ms. Whiten replied that she does live there. He asked also about the chain link fence, stating that the requirement is for a 6 privacy fence. Ms. Whiten does not see a need for that type of fence. Ms. Perkins asked if it would make a difference to her if she tried to sell her property.
Protestants:
John
Roy,
9018 E. 38th Street, stated he was representing the East Tulsa Mingo
Valley Association, stated that he had nothing further to add to the other
interested parties.
Eck
Ruddick,
14673 E. 11th Pl., stated that Eastside Towing was on Mingo, and
according to a neighbor at that location, the business had moved to the subject
property on east 11th Street with a chain link fence around it. He found the Eastside Towing sign was on
the subject property for the towing business, and a chain link fence around the
property. He asked the Board to
deny this application.
Applicants
Rebuttal:
Mr. Schuller, states he has not seen a lot of what was described by the neighbors and suggested that the poor conditions no longer exist on the property. He stated that this is a CS zoned property, and if a towing business exists on the property it would be a violation of the zoning code, and he informed his clients. Mr. Schuller suggested a continuance to allow him time to discuss the towing service with his clients, who are out of town this week. He stated that the application is for a gravel parking lot at back, consistent with the neighboring business, waiver of a screening fence where vegetation already provides screening, and an appeal from the Neighborhood Inspectors notice of not meeting parking requirements.
Comments
and Questions:
Ms.
Parnell, Neighborhood Inspector, stated the paperwork she submitted to the Board
explains the problem. She stated
that Mr. Sharp does own Eastside Towing and has for years. The number of cars parked on the
property with a two-bay facility is excessive. She suggested that he buys cars at
auctions, and when they are delivered they are placed wherever they will fit
when the lot is full. The previous
owner sold truck campers that were stored on racks very neatly, and did not use
the back of the property.
Board
Action:
On
MOTION
of Dunham,
the Board voted 4-0-0 (White, Dunham, Turnbo, Perkins "aye"; no "nays"; no

RECORD, located at 1320 E. 27th Pl. S.
Presentation:
Darin
Ackerman, with Sisemore, Weisz and Associates engineering firm, represented
the applicant. He stated that a
couple of different property owners are considering combining four existing lots
in this location. He explained that
it is a matter of making them into two larger lots to more conform to the zoning
district. The second dwelling unit
on the more westerly lot would be used for a cabana/pool house (accessory use)
not for a permanent residence or rental usage.
Interested
Parties:
Ralph
Smith, represented the Sorrells on the corner of Peoria and 27th
Street, and stated the action would create a lot split. They request a restriction that the
second dwelling cannot be rented or subdivided as a dwelling on a separate
lot.
Mark
Medlin, 2807 S. Peoria, on the lot immediately to the south of the subject
property. He stated that his
concern is the long alley that is being created to access Peoria, that there
might be an increase of traffic or extra access. Mr. Dunham asked if the alley already
exists. Mr. Medlin replied that it
does exist, but the possibility exists for a greater number of people to use the
access. Mr. Medlin suggested that
the same benefits could be achieved without using these variances, and with very
little modification to the existing plan.
Comments and
Questions:
Mr. Beach
stated that a lot could not be created to contain just the southerly house
because they would not have frontage.
Applicants
Rebuttal:
Mr.
Ackerman stated that he understands the restriction that would be put on the
relief, in order to approve the application.
Board
Action:
On
MOTION
of Dunham,
the Board voted 4-0-0 (White, Dunham, Turnbo, Perkins "aye"; no "nays"; no
"abstentions"; Cooper absent") to APPROVE
a Variance
of lot width requirement from 150 to 122; a Variance of land
area per dwelling unit from 26,250 SF to 8,995.60 SF for existing southerly home
(second dwelling unit); a Variance of side yard requirement from
15 to 8.5 for existing southerly home (second dwelling unit); and a
Variance to permit two dwellings on one lot of record, with
restriction that the southernmost dwelling unit can only be used as an accessory
use for the primary, and cannot be occupied on a permanent basis, per the lot
lines of the lots as shown per plan, finding the hardship to be the situation
already exists and the unusual configuration of the lot, on the following
described property:
All that part of Lot 3

Presentation:
The
applicant, Brian Ward, 9520 E. 55th Pl., stated he seeks a
variance for additional square footage for the building sign on the north
elevation of the building at 110 W. 7th Street. He stated that currently there is an
existing Hillcrest sign and an Oxy logo on the uppermost part of the
building. The Oxy logo sign would
be removed before the Vintage sign is put up. He stated that the total square footage
for the signs exceeds the allowable footage for the north side. Mr. Beach explained that the Vintage
sign should be counted as one word and the large V would measure the height of
the sign. Mr. Beach stated that the
code reads, the minimum rectangle that would encompass an individual
word.

Niehaus responded affirmatively.
Mr. White asked where he wanted to make the addition. Mr. Niehaus replied that he would like
to add ten feet to the west side.
Mr. Dunham asked for the current size of the garage. Mr. Niehaus stated the existing
structure is 24 X 30 and he wants to enlarge it to 24 X 40. Mr. White asked where the driveway to
the garage is located. Mr. Niehaus
stated he does not have one yet.
Mr. White asked where the driveway would be located. Mr. Niehaus replied that it would come
down the south side of the house.
Mr. Dunham asked if there is a garage attached to the house in addition
to the one in the application. Mr.
Niehaus replied that he does have an attached garage also. Ms. Turnbo asked for the size of the
attached garage. Mr. Niehaus stated
it is a one-car garage.

Detroit.
Presentation:
The
applicant, Mike Lester, 2000 W. Detroit, # G, Broken Arrow, stated he is
the contractor for the homeowners at this subject property address. This home is located in the historical
preservation district of the City of Tulsa. He stated that they are doing some
exterior repairs to their residence and they desire to remove the existing
garage/ living quarters located at the rear of their property, and to construct
a new garage only along the back property line. Mr. Lester stated that the zoning
requirement for the south property line would call for a three-foot setback from
the property line, and the plan is to build it 4½ feet from the south property
line and the proposed structure would be smaller than the existing. The applicant submitted photographs and
a letter to the Board.
Comments and
Questions:
Mr. Dunham
asked if the historical preservation society is in support of this
application. Mr. Stump stated that
they have concerns that the new garage will be built very close to the existing
house, and not set back as they have traditionally been. Mr. Dunham stated it is basically the
same location with a little different configuration.
Protestants:
None.
