UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 

Case No. 18742

    Action Requested:

      For the Board of Adjustment to reconsider its decision in the referenced case that was made in a public hearing on July 11, 2000. 

 

    Presentation:

      Mr. Beach stated that Tower Heights Neighborhood Association made a request for re-advertisement of this case to be re-heard by the Board of Adjustment. 

 

    Comments and Questions:

      Mr. White asked Mr. Prather to explain the procedure for Reconsideration of a case.  Mr. Prather explained that one of the members that voted for the case in the previous Board action would need to make a motion to reconsider.  There would need to be an extraordinary circumstance, such as the Board has exceeded their jurisdiction, or there was some sort of mistake in the rule, or similar problem.  To be extraordinary, it would need to change the whole tenor of the issue.  Mr. White brought up the three issues listed by the applicant.  Mr. Prather stated that he saw no legal reason to re-hear the case. 

 

    Board Action:

      On MOTION of Perkins, the Board voted 3-2-0 (Dunham, Turnbo, Perkins, "aye"; no White, Cooper "nay"; no "abstentions"; no "absences") to DENY Case No. 18742 to re-advertise. 

 

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

 

Case No. 18790

    Action Requested:

      Variance of Section 1217.C.2 to allow open-air storage or display of automobiles offered for sale within 300’ of an R zoned district to 0’.  SECTION 1217.C. USE UNIT 17.  AUTOMOTIVE AND ALLIED ACTIVITIES, Use Conditions – Use Unit 17, located S of SW/c E. 11th St. & S. 145th E. Ave.

 

    Presentation:

      Robert Flynn, P.O. 799, Tulsa, OK, stated he was an attorney representing Andy Flynn.  It was his opinion that the Board of Adjustment (BOA) Action of 18 years ago, regarding when uncle started his business, needed some housekeeping.  He stated that the BOA allowed him to operate a car lot, permitting the sale of automobiles and or mobile homes in a CS district, with a screening fence required on the south and west sides, and a hard surface parking lot to run with this owner only.  He added that they did not specifically state that they would also allow him to display cars on the hard surface parking lot, which seems to be contradictory. 

 

    Comments and Questions:

      Ms. Turnbo asked Mr. Flynn about the outside storage of stacked tires and old batteries.  Mr. Flynn responded that someone who leased the property had allowed this but it has been cleaned up since that time.  He stated that the applicant only desires to display automobiles; motor homes rather than mobile homes, campers, and similar things on the hard surface lot.  Mr. Dunham commented that this application is only for that portion of the lot that fronts on 145th and only on the paved area. 

 

    Protestants:

       James Mautino, 14628 E. 12th St., submitted an information packet to the Board (Exhibit A-1).  He stated that Use Unit 17 has two conditions for fencing, and that within a CS district not outside display within 300’ of an R district.  He stated that for several years the applicant leased the property, and it was used for storage on bare ground, the pole barn was used for a garage and repair.  He added that neighbors were disturbed at all hours of the night.  Neighborhood Inspections cited Mr. Flynn, and the towing service was then cleared out and the property cleaned up.  Mr. Mautino informed the Board that in 1999 the property was leased to a tire wholesaler that brought in two semi-truck loads of used tires and stacked them on bare ground, and put up a screening fence.  When a third truckload of tires was brought in, Code Enforcement stopped the process.   Recently a used car lot was established and the pole barn has again been used for repairs.  There are signs of detail work and painting.  The pole barn is 13’ from a residential property line, where young children play.  Four high intensity lights were installed on a high pole, and shine on the neighboring property.  Mr. Mautino also stated concern regarding some 55-gallon barrels and what they may contain that have been stored on the subject property.

 

    Comments and Questions:

      Mr. White asked Mr. Prather if the Board were inclined to deny the application, would the BOA actions in 1982 and 1989 be in effect.  Mr. Prather responded that the previous actions would be in effect.   

 

    Protestants:

      Randy McPhearson, 14326 E. 11th St., to the west of the subject property, stated concern about more paving that could cause excess water run-off onto his property.   He had a complaint that the lighting on the subject property was too bright and much of it is directed toward his property.

 

      Eck Ruddick, P.O. 6920177, stated he is in the Tower Heights Neighborhood Association.   He shared his concern regarding the wrecker service that was allowed to use the property, on an unpaved surface, and use alarm lights and sounds, all hours of the day and night.  He stated that the cars disappear on Tuesdays and are returned on Fridays.  Mr. Ruddick mentioned the possible dangers of paint fumes to the children that play in the yard next door.  

 

    Comments and Questions:

      Ms. Turnbo asked if anyone in the neighborhood contacted the EPA about the barrels.  Mr. Ruddick replied that they only recently took the pictures of the property and had not contacted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as yet.  He informed the Board that the neighborhood association has a meeting with the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on July 26, 2000, and the subject will be addressed. 

 

    Applicant’s Rebuttal:

      Mr. Flynn stated his belief that the need in this case is for the Board to do housekeeping to accomplish what the applicant attempted to do in 1982.  He recognized that those who had leased the property in the past did not comply with the zoning code.  The applicant was relieved to have the Neighborhood Inspections citation to facilitate breaking the lease so that he could clean up the property.  Mr. Flynn stated that the presence of the barrels and their contents would be brought to the applicants’ attention.   His request was that the applicant be permitted to display automobiles on the hard surface parking lot. 

 

    Comments and Questions:

      Mr. White asked Mr. Flynn to reiterate the hardship for the Variance.  Mr. Flynn stated that the hardship is the time and money the applicant spent to meet the requirements for a hard surface and screening if he can’t display cars on the hard surface he was instructed to put in for parking cars.   Mr. Cooper asked if Mr. Flynn would be willing to put in shields for the lights.  He replied that this would be a good idea, and he thought the applicant would be willing to shield the lights.  Mr. Cooper asked Mr. Flynn to suggest established operating hours that would be agreeable to the applicant.  Mr. Flynn indicated whatever is usual and customary, or what is reasonable to the Board. 

 

      Board discussion ensued regarding the legal description, portion of property involved in the action requested, lights, and hours of operation. 

 

    Board Action:

      Mr. Dunham made the MOTION to CONTINUE Case No. 18790 to August 8, 2000.  The motion failed for lack of a second.  After further Board discussion Mr. Dunham WITHDREW the motion to continue.

 

      On MOTION of Cooper, the Board voted 5-0-0 (White, Dunham, Turnbo, Perkins, Cooper "aye"; no "nays"; no "abstentions"; no "absences") to APPROVE a Variance of Section 1217.C.2 to allow open-air storage or display of automobiles offered for sale within 300’ of an R zoned district to 0’, finding the hardship to be an administrative matter to clean up the prior Variance, and to place restrictions that lights be shielded and pointed downward, auto sales only, operable cars only, hours of operation be 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, paved surface for autos on display, and all of Lot 1 and east 31.4’ of south 150’ Lot 2, a screening fence along the south and west boundary properly installed, and finding that it will not cause substantial detriment to the public good or impair the purposes, spirit, and intent of the Code, or the Comprehensive Plan, on the following described property:

    Presentation:

      The applicant, Larry Pennington, 9718 E. 55th Pl., stated his request, describing the portion of the property involved in the case.  He indicated the need to move the access on Sheridan further north.  The hardship is that current driveway is so steep that trucks hang up on high center.

      The applicant, Anthony Miller, 1722 S. Carson, Ste. 3101, stated he represented Jason Ray, 4930 E. 7th St.  The applicant wants to replace the existing garage.  The old structure is about 71 years old and was built too narrow for the newer cars.   The unique shape of the lot and the easements do not allow enough room on the other side of the house for a garage.  

 

    Comments and Questions:

      Mr. Beach asked if the finished structure with the brick would be only 2 ½’ from the property line.  Mr. Miller replied that the boundary survey shows it would be 2.9’ from the property line.  Mr. Stump asked about the 32’ depth for the garage that would cause an encroachment to the required setback.  Mr. Ray, the owner, replied that he was trying to stay with the style of the house, and wanted to include a work space at the back of the garage for personal use and not commercial.  Ms. Turnbo asked about the plans for a single garage door at back of the structure.  Mr. Miller wanted access to the back yard by driving through the garage.

    Board Action:

      On MOTION of Cooper, the Board voted 5-0-0 (White, Dunham, Turnbo, Perkins, Cooper "aye"; no "nays"; no "abstentions"; no "absences") to APPROVE a Variance of required 5’ side yard 2½’ to permit the construction of a garage in an RS-2 district for personal use only not commercial, per plan, on the following described property:

Case No. 18810

    Action Requested:

      Special Exception to allow church use in an RS-3 district.  SECTION 401.  PRINCIPAL USES PERMITTED IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS – Use Unit 5, located  3143 N. Xanthus Pl.

 

    Presentation:

      The applicant, Tony Maxville, 1204 N. Santa Fe, stated that the church desires to build a dining hall across the street from the church.  The existing kitchen and dining hall is too small for the number of people they serve.

 

    Protestants:

      Opal (last name inaudible), 2015 E. 31st Pl. N., protested the application because it would be behind her home taking her privacy and cutting her off from her neighbor.  She expected it would cause a traffic problem because of the narrow street, and lower her property value.  She indicated that it would be inconsistent with the neighborhood.  

 

    Comments and Questions:

      Mr. Cooper asked the protestant to point out where her home is located on the site plan as related to the subject property.  Mr. Stump stated she is located immediately south and her neighbor is immediately north of the tract. 

 

  Mr. White advised the Board of a letter of protest from Harvey Jones, at 3216 N. Xanthus Pl., which is north of the subject property.

   

    Applicant’s Rebuttal:

      Mr. Maxville stated he had just talked with Harvey Jones, and his concern was that the map that was sent out to the neighbors showed an alley as if it were a street.  He stated that just because they added space to the sanctuary did not mean they do not need more space in the kitchen/dining area.  He stated they need more room to accommodate larger numbers of people for funerals and other gatherings.  The traffic would not change from what it has been at these times and the parking would continue to be at the main church building.

 

    Comments and Questions:

      Mr. Dunham asked why they don’t want to build on the other lots owned by the church.  Mr. Maxville replied that they plan to use the other lots for recreation area for the children.  Mr. Beach asked if they plan to use the dining hall for other group gatherings.  Mr. Maxville stated that it would be for the church functions only. 

 

    Board Action:

      On MOTION of Dunham, the Board voted 4-1-0 (White, Dunham, Turnbo, Perkins "aye"; Cooper "nay"; no "abstentions"; no "absences") to APPROVE a Special Exception to allow church use in an RS-3 district, with the conditions to meet landscape requirements, dining hall to be used for church purposes only and not leased for outside purposes, finding that it will be in harmony with the spirit and intent of the Code, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare, on the following described property:

 

    Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Murray Addition, City of Tulsa, Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma

      Stacey Bales, came before the Board in support of the bed and breakfast.  She stated Ms. Heard has been more than candid with the neighbors, and has taken exceptional steps to consult with the neighborhood.

 

      Trish Sherry, came to represent her mother who owns property at 1568 Swan Drive.  She is in favor of bed and breakfasts, and came today with interest and some concerns.  She was satisfied and feels her concerns were all addressed.

      Ms. Heard stated there are four other bed and breakfasts in Tulsa.  She shared her plans to convert the sunroom and garage into bedrooms for herself and her daughter.  She is very concerned about safety, especially for her own child.  Ms. Heard also described her plans to put in a hedge for screening also.
