MINUTIJS PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 12, 2007 order snow board distribution. The House needs to have the expansion in place and ready to go by October 1S` Poindexter reported that The House has been working toward this expansion over the last three years, and had to resolve some title problems with their property before they could move forward. Poindexter described the site plan, noting the building expansion area, parking area, and green area. He indicated that the property will be regraded so that a 3 to 1 slope can be maintained. An infiltration system with an underground holding tank will be installed. Run-off will percolate into this system and then into the surrounding ground water. If a large storm occurs, the system has an overflow feature which will allow run-off to flow back into the existing storm drains and then toward South Owasso Blvd. Knudsen asked about the landscaping of the site. Poindexter reported that the green area will be natural grasses and trees. It will be aesthetically and environmentally correct for the area. Knudsen asked how far the parking lot would be from the Zoch property line. Poindexter replied that it would be approximately 75 feet at the closest point and 100 feet at the furthest. Knudsen asked about engineering review. Poindexter reported that a full set of documents were delivered to the engineer yesterday. Knudsen noted that any recommendation for approvals would have to be subject to the City Planner's and City Engineer's review and approval. The City Planner reported that from his quick review of the plans, it appears that the property division and combination meets code requirements. The Planner indicated that he will have to confirm that setbacks are being met. The Planner also indicated that the rezoning is not a significant issue as the line is being shifted 125 feet to the south. The Planner noted that there is some grading and plantings proposed off site and asked if The House had obtained the permission of the adjacent property owners. Poindexter replied that they had. Duray asked if the wooded area to the south of The House is what is being purchased. Poindexter replied that The House already owns a portion of this wooded area and the Zoch's own the rest. The House has a conditional purchase agreement with the Zoch's for this additional 125 feet. The City Planner pointed out that the development and grading that is being proposed will result in the woods being eliminated. The proposal would also cut down the existing slope to a 3 to 1 grade. -3-
