Consideration of Approval, Acceptance, Reiection, Amendment, and/or Postponement of Ordinance No. 0-2223-46: Williams , Box, Forshee & Bullard, PC, on behalf of the ApplicanUland Owner, requests Special Use for a Public Utility for 40 acres of property generally located at the southwest corner of 48th Avenue N.W. and Franklin Road. ITEMS SUBMITTED FOR THE RECORD: 1. Location Map 2. Staff Report 3. Site Plan PRESENTATION BY STAFF: Ms. Hoggatt reviewed the staff report, a copy of which is filed with the minutes. Ms. McKown asked how the protest area is determined. Ms. Hoggatt explained that it is by land area within the radius, not the number of people. PRESENTATION BY THE APPLICANT: Amanda Carpenter, with Williams, Box, Forshee & Bullard, 522 Colcord Drive, representing Oklahoma Gas & Electric, explained that this substation will serve the Nexterra line; it is not for service of OG&E. Federal regulations require that OG&E make their system available, so as Nexterra is running this line through Norman, they have to make their system available and they don't get to choose the line and where it is located; they only get to help decide where the substation is. OG&E went through a long process of a site study. This property is owned in fee title. There is an existing substation called Pleasant Valley Substation just south of the purple box on the protest map. Residents in the area have a current substation and transmission lines that they are used to seeing. The request from the protestor was to move the substation both west and south; the substructure of the ground in that area is very sandy and would not be consistent for the structures that are necessary for the substation. The substation must be where the Nexterra line is going, and they have no control over that. The corner was found to be the most appropriate. There are no trees that have to be removed. The Nexterra line is a federal project, and OG&E is required to share that system. The site is currently planned to be setback from Franklin Road 210 feet, and 260 feet from 48th Avenue NW. The access points are off Franklin Road. The only traffic that should be coming to the site would be for maintenance, so it should not create any additional traffic. Mr. Jablonski asked if there is anything they can do to mitigate the view for adjacent property owners. Ms. Carpenter responded that there will be a fence around the site. OG&E currently has plans for a chain-link fence, but they're happy to include some sort of paneling to provide additional aesthetic accommodation. Mr. Jablonski asked about landscaping. Ms. Carpenter said they generally do not like to put landscaping around their electrical facilities. Mr. McDaniel asked the height of the structures. Bernard Montel, 19225 Blanco Drive, Edmond, explained that the height will vary anywhere from 25' to 45' . Mr. Griffith asked the extent of the service area for the substation. Ms. Carpenter said that would be a question for Nexterra. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - Thursday, June 08, 2023 Page l8  Center CityfUD 9. Consideration of Aooroval Acce D tance Reiection.

Site Plan with Elevations PRESENTATION BY STAFF: Ms. Starr reviewed the staff report, a copy of which is filed with the minutes. PRESENTATION BY THE APPLICANT: Peter Petromilli, the applicant, did not have a presentation, but was available to respond to questions. Mr. Jablonski asked which walls are firewalls. Mr. Petromilli pointed them out and indicated they are essentially the north wall, which will potentially attach to Phase 2, as well as the stairwells. Mr. Jablonski asked if the rooftop patio will be strong enough to support potted trees and greenery. Mr. Petromilli responded they design the patio to nearly double the loading that ls required to accommodate unforeseen circumstances. They are not currently designing it for a green roof. Mr. Griffith asked about the number of stories. Mr. Petromilli responded that they did not ask for any change from the code. He explained that different materials are required above four stories. Mr. Brewer asked whether the first floor is all residential. Mr. Petromilli explained the first floor is being designed to commercial standards so, when it can sustain commercial, it can easily be converted.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - Thursday, June 08, 2023 Page l7  Mr. Brewer asked about the sightlines for the elevation drawing. Mr. Montel explained that from Franklin Road you will be able to see the entire facility, but from 48th Avenue NW you only see part of it. Ms. McKown asked if there could be some low landscaping. Mr. Montel responded that there are existing easements on the east and north sides that they do not own. Mr. Brewer asked what type of noise will be emitted from the site. Ms. Carpenter did not have anyone present who could answer that question. Mr. McDaniel asked if it would be similar to the Pleasant Valley Substation. Ms. Carpenter responded affirmatively. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: None DISCUSSION AND ACTION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION: Motion made by McKown, Seconded by Brewer, to recommend adoption of Ordinance No. 0-222346 to City Council, with the recommendation that additional paneling be added to the chain-link fencing around the entire property.

We're looking for infill, which means less open space. lf we're going to have less open space, he thinks the City should consider requirements for rooftop greenery. Mr. Brewer commented on the process with the Strong Towns Community Action Lab. He encouraged people to get educated on some of the principles of Strong Towns. Ms. Hudson commented that the July meeting will have a pretty heavy agenda.
