Body
BACKGROUND: This item is Norman Rural Certificate of Survey COS-1920-4 for Woodenlance Estates, generally located on the west side of 120th Avenue S.E. and approximately one-half mile south of State Highway 9.
The property is located in the A-2, rural agricultural zoning district.
Planning Commission, on March 14, 2019, recommended to City Council that Norman Rural Certificate of Survey COS-1920-4 for Woodenlance Estates be approved, with a variance in the width of a private road serving two tracts from 20-feet to 12-feet.
DISCUSSION: There are a total of two (2) tracts encompassing 30.11 acres in this certificate of survey. Tract 1 consists of 10.06 acres and Tract 2 consists of 20.05 acres. This certificate of survey, if approved, will allow one single family main structure on each tract.
Private individual sanitary sewer systems and water systems will be installed in accordance with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) standards. Fire protection will be provided by the City of Norman pumper/tanker trunks. The (2) tracts will be served by a private road built to the standards as adopted by City Council. There is a provision in the subdivision regulations that if no more than four (4) lots or tracts are served by a private road a reduction in width of the road could be requested. A request has been made to reduce the width of the private road from 20-feet to 12-feet. Staff can support this request and has done so in the past with previous certificates of survey with the private road serving four lots or fewer. Certificate of Survey COS-1920-4 for Woodenlance Estates will not be filed of record with the Cleveland County Clerk until the private road is completed.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above information, staff recommends approval of the request in a variance in the private road width from 20-feet to 12-feet and approval of Norman Rural Certificate of Survey COS-1920-4 for Woodenlance Estates.
