SUBJECT: Plat Vacation & Replat- Cornerstone Hardware Amended
DATE: February 6, 2025
BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department received an application for review and approval of
a final plat vacation for Cornerstone Hardware. Additionally, Staff received a concurrent
application for review and approval of a replat via the proposed Cornerstone Hardware
Amended final plat. The subject property is located at 11550 North 1291h East Avenue, is
approximately 6. 55 +/- acres in size, and is zoned Commercial Shopping ( CS).
SUBJECT PROPERTY/ PROJECT DATA:
Property Size 6. 55 acres +/-
Land Use Master Plan Commercial
Current Zoning CS
Proposed Use Commercial
Proposed Lots/ Blocks 1 Lot, 1 Block

Within an Overlay District? No
Water Provider Washington County Rural Water District # 3
Applicable
Paybacks/ Fees
N/ A ( previously platted)
ANALYSIS:
The subject property was annexed into Owasso City Limits in August of 2013 ( Ord. 1026).
The original final plat for Cornerstone Hardware was approved by the Tulsa Metropolitan
Area Planning Commission in March of 2013 ( Plat # 6468), prior to annexation into Owasso
City Limits.
o The original plat consisted of two ( 2) Lots on one ( 1) Block. The existing
Cornerstone Ace Hardware store was developed on Lot 1, while Lot 2 has
remained vacant for future development.
o The applicant is the current owner of both lots.
The applicant intends to expand the existing hardware store, but the proposed
expansion would cross a platted lot line and encroach upon a platted mutual access
easement.
o To address this, the applicant is requesting both a plat vacation and a replat via
the proposed Cornerstone Hardware Amended final plat.
Approval of the plat vacation request would effectively void the original final plat,
eliminating all associated easements, dedications, access limits, and lot lines.
This vacation, if approved, would clear the way for the new final plat, allowing for
revised lot boundaries and easement locations that better accommodate the
proposed expansion.

Plat Vacation & Replat- Cornerstone Hardware Amended
The Cornerstone Hardware Amended final plat constitutes a replat; pending approval of
the companion plat vacation request, approval of the final plat for Cornerstone
Hardware Amended would result in its replacement of the original approved plat for this
subject property.
o The replat consolidates the two ( 2) existing lots into a single lot within one ( 1)
block. The proposed lot meets the bulk and area requirements for CS -zoned
properties as outline in the Owasso Zoning Code.
o Two ( 2) existing access points into the development will remain unchanged.
o The replat includes all required perimeter utility easements to ensure continued
utility service to the development.
o A detention easement, slightly larger than what was depicted on the original final
plat, is proposed in the southwestern corner of the property to accommodate
drainage needs.
o As the replat is proposing a single lot on a single block, this proposed final plat
does not depict any mutual access easements.
The City of Owasso will provide police, fire, ambulance, and sanitary sewer services to
the property. Washington County Rural Water District # 3 will provide water services.
Any development that occurs on the subject property shall adhere to all development,
zoning, and engineering requirements of the City of Owasso.

SUBJECT: Application for Surface Transportation Block Grant Funds - East 86th Street North
Lane Widening, North Garnett to North 119th East Avenue Project
DATE: February 6, 2025
BACKGROUND:
In January 2025, Indian Nations Council of Governments ( INCOG) opened applications
for the FY 2027 Surface Transportation Block Grant ( STBG) funds.
Funds are made available on an annual basis by the Federal Highway Administration
FHWA), through the Oklahoma Department of Transportation ( ODOT), for the
implementation of eligible transportation improvements in the Tulsa Urbanized Area.
Projects qualifying for funding provide system preservation ( maintenance), management
and integration ( traffic management systems), arterial intersections ( safety and capacity
enhancements), transportation alternatives ( sidewalks, trails, carpooling) and capacity
expansion ( arterials and interchanges that are listed on the major street and highway
plan).
East 86rh Street North improvements have successfully been funded for both vJidening
and maintenance projects, including the milling and overlaying of pavement from North
117th East Avenue to North 128th East Avenue and the most recently funded project to
widen East 861h Street North from North Main Street to North Garnett Road.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
East 861h Street North Lane Widening, North Garnett to North 119}h East Avenue Project
has increased traffic counts to 20,000 to 25,000 vehicles per day (VPD).
Staff has had to have the roadway signals coordinated several times to adjust to the
increased traffic and turning movement.
The roadway section is programmed to be studied in detail concurrently with an
updated Transportation Master Plan. However, the STBG funding opportunity was
released prior to the study being funded and performed.
Construction funds for this grant will not be available for several years but submitting
projects for future funding is crucial.
Staff will work with ODOT while they study improvements to the interchange.
STBG FUNDS:
INCOG will administer the grant funds and has established a selection process for the distribution
of STBG funds. Priority funding is given to projects that meet federal regulations, help advance
the Regional Transportation Plan through safety improvements, and reduce traffic congestion.
Proposed projects are evaluated for eligibility and prioritized based on a 200-point rating system.
The total funding available through this two-year funding cycle application for FY 2026 and FY
2027 combined is $ 44, 000.000, Funding of $ 6, 000, 000 is designated to the Gilcrease Expressway
Page 2
STBG Funding
for 2-years of debt service, which leaves $ 32, 000, 000 for remaining projects. The maximum
amount of funds for any single project is $ 4, 000, 000.
On January 15, 2025, INCOG opened the application cycle for STBG funding applications with
submittal deadline of March 14, 2025.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
Similar to previous STBG projects, a resolution is necessary to complete the application process.
The application will request federal funding assistance for the construction of the roadway
improvements. If this project is selected in summer 2025, the funding for construction will be
targeted in FY 2027 or sooner, depending on funding availability.
CONCEPTUAL COST SUMMARY:
East 86th Street North is considered a primary arterial in Owasso. The roadway is heavily used and
conveys residential, commercial, school and commuter traffic to and from Owasso. The
proposed work for this section of roadway is to extend the roadway lanes to the north and south
as needed, update signals with our newest design and technology standard, install new signals
where warranted, move utilities, extend drainage structures and replace sidewalks. Pavement
replacement will be needed to raise the crown of the road to accommodate the widened
roadway.
Based on the conceptual cost estimate, the anticipated cost for construction of the proposed
roadway improvements is listed below. Construction administration ( testing, inspection, and
administration of pay applications) is equal to 10% of the construction fee. Budgeting 8% for
engineering, surveying, and geotechnical exploration, the estimated total project cost is
12, 525, 798.
If authorized by the City Council, the City will pay for engineering design, utility relocation, and
right- of-way costs locally and request FHWA funding to contribute toward construction and
administration. FHWA funding for this project would be through the Surface Transportation
Program, which would fund 80% of eligible construction costs ( for a maximum of $ 4, 000,000)
while the local government funds 20%. Based upon this information, the following is a project
estimate ( projected out 5% inflation annually for 5 years, as per the application requirements):
Project Segment Estimate ODOT Portion City of Owasso
Construction 9, 725, 253 3, 207, 475 6, 697, 778
Administration 972, 525 972, 525 0
Utility Relocation 750, 000 N/ A 750, 000
Right- of-way 300, 000 N/ A 300, 000
Engineering 778, 020 N/ A 778, 020
Total Project Cost 12, 525, 798 4, 000, 000 8, 525, 798
On this project, the City of Owasso would be obligated to 68% of the project costs. FHWA would
contribute 32% of the project costs due to the $4, 000, 000 maximum funding per project.
