Grove P&Z Board Rejects Request
The Grove Planning & Zoning Board this week rejected a request by David and Ethel Irvine, owners of a Grove subdivision, to rezone it from C-3 to R-3, multiple family residential. The Irvines want to build apartments on the property which is near First Class Collision and the Northeast Oklahoma Board of Realtors offices. Representatives of both businesses appeared to oppose the change and the Board voted 3-0 to leave the zoning as is.
The board also voted to allow replatting of Lots 8-10 Phase III in Patricia Island Estates at the request of builder Langley Homes, which had built across lot lines that were previously surveyed as meets and bounds and not replatted. This was something the previous Grove city administration had allowed, according to City Manager Bill Galletly who said new action was needed to clear up the problem. In the future no building permits will be issued without re-platting, he said. The problems occurred in the above case due to downsizing lot sizes.
Approval was also given to Shane Gregg for a new retail boat sales building on Hwy 59 at 55th Street, which is basically a roof and one wall, open on three sides. Gregg is to landscape the rear of the building wich can be seen from a residential area. The board also approved a Walmart Fueling Station on the northwest corner of its parking lot. It will have four islands, eight pumps, and two 20,000 gallon storage tanks and be open 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The Board also recommended amending Animal Ordinance 354 to require one acre for large animals instead of 10,000 square feet. Homeowner Dixie Wolf appeared and spoke about a problem with a neighbor's horse located only one block from the main street of Grove. "The stench is just terrible," she said.
The actions above will now go to City Council.
City Manager Bill Galletly said the board should make every effort with R-3 Zoning to act on applications objectively rather than subjectively "or one day we are going to have legal problems." He said some objective criteria for R-3 as a buffer between commercial and residential must be developed.
