[0:00] based business pursuant to the board of adjustments approval of a special

[0:04] exception of the last meeting that is consistent with our our zoning code and

[0:10] that is available on a case-by-case basis the nature the home based business

[0:15] is a professional inspections and consulting business I believe it's

[0:20] related to the oil and gas industry and also from time to time there will be

[0:26] mobile office trailers that he would have parked within the building probably

[0:31] the storage building just a couple of times a year this rezoning application

[0:37] to downs on the property from residential agricultural went to the

[0:41] planning commission meeting in October we had the wardens first reading at the

[0:46] last City Council meeting this is a second reading and consideration for

[0:49] adoption the AG zoning that they're asking for is consistent with their

[0:56] confidence a plan and the surrounding is owning land use patterns the applicant

[1:00] has also been counseled that of the relative difficulty of getting

[1:05] residential zoning in the first place but with that information he still would

[1:10] like to proceed Planning Commission staff concur and recommending your

[1:15] approval and I'd be happy to answer the questions you might have

[1:23] yeah you don't see ya back in the dark universe Eric what's this letter from we

[1:34] did receive a letter from Marco placencia representing the adjoining

[1:39] owner owner Berra acres LLC babe Berra acres LLC owns a lot of acreage in this

[1:45] in this area there are two concerns expressed by the letter one was for

[1:51] obnoxious noise vibration dust things like that and the nature of the business

[1:56] will not involve that whatsoever and we have testimony from the board of just

[1:59] meeting that that will not be the case the other was that parking of trailers

[2:03] or other you know commercial equipment on site could be unsightly we did

[2:08] discuss that at the Board of Adjustment meeting it was put into the approval

[2:12] conditions that the mobile office trailers which are basically old FEMA

[2:16] trailers that have stripped out and turned into offices must only be parked

[2:20] within the building is the applicant here no so there's going to be some type

[2:32] of is there is there going to be trailers out there and that he's going

[2:36] to refurbish into offices or is this just a home-based office he already has

[2:40] I think a couple of them he's already refurbished them they're out in the

[2:43] field most of the time there was somewhere else you know in the world but

[2:49] a few times a year he is expressed that he will need to park them when they're

[2:52] not deployed elsewhere and they would have to be parked within the building so

[2:57] that's a big deal in the building yeah little bit so it's a huge bill that what

[3:01] the building he will build right but yeah it's gonna have to be to put a

[3:05] trailer on it I was that aside so is that part of it that he can't have him

[3:09] sitting around outside cuz what we don't want as much trailer sit around outside

[3:12] that's correct right next bunch of residential daddy is part of the

[3:15] approval that Board of Adjustment gave basically says approval is subject to

[3:23] substantial compliance with the narrative that he expressed in his

[3:26] application and vehicle and equipment storage as

[3:29] outlining the application shall be restricted to enclosed accessory

[3:32] buildings and or enclosed attached garages is that correct that he acts as

[3:44] a resident of Jenks but his going to be setting up here at Harvard yes he'll be

[3:48] building his home so he's building his home against relocating to Bigsby

[3:53] settling in

[4:03] siemens 80 acres i'll have a problem with it yeah if it was two and a half or

[4:07] five acres it might be a little bit different but 80 acres a little bit

[4:12] never fear of ourselves with then they come back and rezoning back up yeah yeah

[4:16] it seems like they've gone through a lot of work to make sure that they're

[4:20] playing ball this year Eric the special exception would only be applied to him

[4:25] it wouldn't pass on to a new owner the special exception Patrick can arrive to

[4:30] land it would go with ya stay with it but they have any owner in the future

[4:34] must abide by the same conditions approval well it sounds like the

[4:40] Planning Commission is over pretty good guys any other discussion the way of

[4:48] emotion a motion to approve second okay yes a lot amount yes Stu yes that's

[4:55] right yes in Easton yes setting mess system city manager s mayor council I

[5:23] those initiatives there also next week construction will start on the signal at

[5:34] with a contractor it's Keystone services here a local construction company will

[5:39] be doing that work and they will be starting next week memorial lane

[5:46] closures will only be between nine and three and only at it a few times during

[5:51] the course of construction probably very first day as they saw in but after that

[5:56] memorial should be should be open but they'll start construction on next week

[6:00] the other thing that we discussed with ODOT is the turning lane at 136 on

[6:05] Memorial they have led that and last month and awarded a bid to tristar

[6:12] construction several projects in the past 111th 120

[6:17] first name a couple of the projects they have completed here in town but they

[6:21] were the low bidder we don't have a schedule on that yet but ODOT did award

[6:26] that and give the contractor to start that work very good thank you having

[6:31] entertained questions if you any questions mr. Kyle I'd be really quick I

[6:35] believe it's going to be on page one of three I don't know if leaving there's a

[6:40] there's an expense for ten thousand dollars 10 4072 for Crawford associates

[6:55] I'll have to defer to Betty on that one you want to proffer an associates

[7:15] the firm that does our prepares our financial statements and gets them ready

[7:20] for the auditors so that was part of their their feet that was okay okay how

[7:25] much is it normally in total 30,000 that sounds about around 30 okay so this is

[7:38] just the first yes ok so I'm repaired to see some more then yeah perfect thank

[7:43] you thanks Thank You mr. Paul new business seeing none we adjourn this

[7:51] Bixby city council meeting at six 13 p.m. open Bixby public courts Authority

[7:58] meeting at six thirteen p.m. you've gone you well let's let the record show all

[8:03] members are present brings us to the consent agenda we have any discussion

[8:08] questions on the consent agenda I do go pull item see you want to pull it or

[8:18] just talk about just talk about it okay um 25,000 for the AMR meters be is that

[8:25] gonna be what we discussed in our work session that were those going to be

[8:30] going first yes sir this is for the pilot project up at the leaner area the

[8:35] outline areas of the community it would be about 400 meters to get us started so

[8:41] it's that so meters and then the one below it's a software for yes ok moving

[8:46] I truly am sorry the one below is software any hand Randa how soon are

[8:51] they gonna so if someone doesn't want the meter they still have to take it

[8:56] eventually we are going towards towards converting now transitioning into a mr I

[9:04] you know having the meters would be a great thing because more accurate better

[9:11] building history etc but and I I agree if

[9:15] was the concept of I guess it was the concept because when I talked to some

[9:19] citizens I was explaining this is a good thing we're gonna have my accurate

[9:22] reading it's no more timely you know it's going to be easier for everybody

[9:25] but there was this there was a concern that they didn't want something being

[9:31] forced on them so I just want to throw that out there together no opposition

[9:39] okay just so you know I mean you know it that's new okay yeah well what you do is

[9:46] is it that occurred with utilities do you charge them ya have it read and they

[9:50] have to pay a fee to have their meter read yeah Leslie that's what they that's

[9:53] the utilities that utilities do is like you want to keep your old beater it's

[9:57] gonna cost you fifty two hundred dollars a month to keep that old manor we are

[10:00] trying to make to streamline the process and address many of the issues and

[10:07] concerns that have been brought up to us by our residents so it is kind of in

[10:15] this way has anyone said hey I may not want no they have not actually I what

[10:19] I've heard is people might actually want to buy their meters those you know ahead

[10:25] of time because right now we just have this limited budget but at some point we

[10:33] will bring to you the idea of having new subdivisions put a name are compatible

[10:37] meters and we're going to have to have a fee attached to that for the building

[10:41] permits and then I think that would be for new subdivisions anybody who doesn't

[10:46] want to wait through the process because it is going to be a multi-year process

[10:50] can go ahead and maybe pay that fee and have their meter change out of this time

[10:58] but you will get some people i mean like i said i've been through these types of

[11:02] things before with a couple of like utilities you'll get people who don't

[11:05] want to change and what they do is they put a feet on it they figure out it's

[11:08] going to cost to make a guy go out there and read that and they say okay fine you

[11:11] want to have the old meters two hundred dollars a month I know if I

[11:15] can it maybe I'd take those citizens kind of connect them with that was a

[11:19] great alleviates yeah that would be great i can explain to them what we're

[11:23] trying to do and what I mean it looks like and what is the what are the

[11:28] advantages of alina this AMR i think a lot of other concern is the radiation or

[11:35] radio waves but i mean your phone next to your head okay this this can cause a

[11:40] lot more of that in a meter that sits under the ground out in your front yard

[11:44] so think about that when you talk on your phone every day the fact you have

[11:49] to put up an antenna on some of those meters just to be able to read them but

[11:53] i bet i guarantee you bite put your phone inside that hole in it would

[11:56] probably still ring questions thank you do we have a motion to approve the

[12:09] consent agenda second thought amount yes Catherine yes Stuart Dickstein yes

[12:16] Easton yes new business saying none we adjourn this BPW a meeting at six 17
