Avenue and W. 71st St. S. Sapulpa, until 4-4-22 to address concerns brought by the Planning meeting and the TAC meeting.

At the 2/15/22 Planning meeting several concerns from neighbors were stated water service, waste water and increased traffic. The CCPC denied request on 2/15/22. The Representative is here today to speak to the Board. Jason Mohler, Engineer for Rustling Oaks spoke to the Board. There were several concerns/issues stated at the Planning Commission, we need time to do some research, I ask for a continuance of one month to do this research. There was discussion of the 45-day maximum allowance per statue. We want to diligently address the concerns and are flexible to make whatever work stated Mohler. There was discussion of the process of notifying the neighbors, reposting the signage and working to stay within statue time requirement. Murray asked that the cost of notifications and sign be paid by applicant, Mohler agreed. Stephens stated that some of these concerns were addressed in the TAC meeting. We have more problems than just the road congestion. We have water infrastructure issues with the water and this could create an issue for first responders fighting fire and the water pressure of other residents. How this will be affected or handled is my biggest concern. We have to look at the other hazards that this could create as well. The Water Department through that red flag out during the TAC meeting, so some issues were known about prior to meeting. Mohler stated they will work with the water department and see what can be done with the traffic issues, this is beyond the plat. Stephens went through Moore's options of withdrawing and starting over addressing concerns, this gives you more time to do your research. If the Board denies the request you have to wait one year, before a new request can be made.
