Why it matters: Staff and the applicant described how the two preliminary plats were submitted separately so the developer can choose to build one phase or both depending on final pricing; the preliminary plats include shared common areas, a detention pond and a playground. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) submitted with the applications identifies existing service-level issues at the intersection of Highway 37 and Highway 4 and recommends possible future improvements — including a traffic signal at Hollowbrook and Highway 4 and potential right-turn lane requirements on state highways — that would require Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) approval and could trigger shared-cost development agreements.

Preliminary-plat details: Staff and the developer said Phase 1 is shown as 64 lots on about 21.68–21.8 acres in staff materials; Phase 2 is shown as 51 lots on roughly 21.8 acres in the application materials. The applicants explained those numbers reflect how the sketch plat split the overall area; staff noted the sketch for the entire development previously showed about 115 lots on approximately 28.5 acres. The developer said the only substantive change from the sketch plat to the preliminary plat was a slightly larger common area to accommodate a detention pond and an on-site playground.

Traffic and ODOT approvals: Sean, a city staff member, told councilmembers he had just received the TIA and would schedule a follow-up review with the city’s engineers. Staff summarized the TIA’s findings: the intersection of Highway 37 and Highway 4 already operates below desirable service levels, and the TIA recommends future mitigation measures. The study also referenced a newer ODOT practice that requires consideration of right-turn lanes at state-highway driveway intersections. Staff cautioned that these recommended improvements are not required immediately but could be required later in the development lifecycle if traffic thresholds are met; ODOT must approve curb cuts into state highways and can deny driveway locations. A staff member said driveway/curb-cut permit applications have been submitted and staff will coordinate with ODOT before construction. The council discussed that if ODOT were to refuse a proposed curb cut, the developer would need to change driveway locations and possibly amend plans.

Access and commercial frontage: The developer said the commercial frontage portion of the site is intended to have a limited number of driveways and that the TIA asked the consultant to consider only two drives along the commercial frontage; cross-access between commercial lots was discussed as a typical mitigation if multiple retailers request curb access.

Formal action: Council approved the items on roll-call votes. For Phase 1 (PC 20 25 dash 11 a) and Phase 2 (PC 20 25 dash 11 b) the recorded votes were: Mister Watson — yes; Miss Heights — yes; Vice Mayor Hughes — yes.

What’s next: Staff will review the TIA in detail with city engineers and coordinate with ODOT about driveway permits. Any required off-site improvements or section-line road upgrades would be handled through future development agreements and potentially funded in part by developer impact fees or shared-cost arrangements.

Why it matters: Council members and city staff spent substantial time clarifying whether the phase met current lot-size standards and who will enforce landscaping and common-area maintenance once lots sell. The discussion highlighted that parts of the development were submitted under an earlier Planned Unit Development (PUD) with different minimum-lot rules, a detail that affects average lot-size calculations and what the city can require now.

City staff and the developer said the application for Phase 6 lists a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet and an average lot-size figure reported in one document as 6,143 square feet. Mark, a city staff member, told the council, “I think it was 6,000 on the on the original PUD, and then we went to 10,000, but that was way after that first that PUD for Hollowbrook.” Council members pressed planning staff to reconcile inconsistent acreage totals used in different documents — staff cited both roughly 16.85 acres and 19.5 acres in different submittals — because acreage affects the computed average lot size.

Council members also questioned how the city will enforce required trees and other landscape elements after final inspections and home closings. One councilmember asked whether enforcement “default[s] to the HOA.” City staff replied that the city verifies landscaping at final inspection but does not continue to police private yards after turnover; staff said the homeowners association (HOA) typically assumes long-term maintenance responsibilities. A staff member noted some developers maintain control of HOAs initially and urged follow-up communication with developers when that remains the case.

Timeline and construction: Staff and the applicant said modified construction plans are complete and grading could start in late June. Staff advised the council that infrastructure installation and other construction activities will follow a standard sequencing tied to the construction plan approvals.

Formal action: A motion to approve the Hollowbrook Phase 6 preliminary plat and construction plans passed on a roll-call vote: Mister Watson — yes; Miss Heights — yes; Vice Mayor Hughes — yes.

What’s next: Staff said they will follow up with developers about HOA responsibilities and enforcement practices for landscape and common-area maintenance. The applicant and staff will proceed with final permitting and grading work as described.

Why it matters: The MRDAF grant program provides up to $500,000 toward repair of roads damaged by oil-and-gas traffic under a 75/25 cost-share model: ODOT funds 75% and the municipality provides 25%. The city received funds based on an initial estimate but completed the East Tyler Drive overlay for less than the estimate, leaving surplus grant funds that must be returned.

Details: Staff summarized the history: the city received an initial disbursement (about $375,000) for the East Tyler Drive resurfacing between Cimarron Road East and Richland Road. Final construction costs were roughly $350,000, producing an unused balance of $108,949.96 that ODOT requested be returned. Council approved the repayment (recorded as item 9a) and a budget amendment (item 9b) that moves the funds from the city’s fund balance into an expense line so the payment can be processed.

Staff said the city will reapply for MRDAF funding in the current grant round; the returned funds are not retained for local reallocation but go back to ODOT’s grant pool for future awards. Council members discussed the grant’s mechanics and agreed the repayment and budget adjustment were proper. A roll-call vote approved both items: Mister Watson — yes; Miss Heights — yes; Vice Mayor Hughes — yes.

What’s next: City staff will execute the payment and file the budget amendment. Staff also noted the city will continue to apply for MRDAF funding each cycle and said they expect to submit new applications for future road projects.
