18 on Park

[Plutonic Panda]

I want to read confirmation before I post what I'm about to post.

[Plutonic Panda]

Do you have a link or anything? I'd love to confirm this.

Of course you would, Jerry. I knew from the f#cking second I read about the proposed development, you would be against it.

I would be very interest if you would find an hour or two to go back several months, go through every city council minute log, and provide a link to me of all the developments you approved of. I'll return the favor if you do.

No thanks. There are plenty I'm in favor of though. In fact, the ones I don't like are very, very, rare.

That's pretty much what I thought. I have a good idea of what you were for and what you weren't.

I had a huge post written out, one that probably would've gotten me banned, but I'm not going to post it, instead, I'm going to leave it at I'm extremely disappointing in this city and I completely give up.

I will never post in the Edmond subsection again.

[jerrywall]

If that's what you thought why did you ask me for a list? I imagine our overlap is pretty high on the projects we like. I just don't understand the point you were going for. Sometimes I wonder if you're on something when you post.

[jerrywall]

BTW - This is the confirmation I found, in case anyone is interested...

Edmond Planning Commission 1-20-15 - The Edmond Sun: Meeting Agendas

There is an actual article on the oklahoman.com, but it requires a password so not sure all what information it gives (such if they are going to try in a different location)...

I don't do drugs. I barely drink.

I just know I often get confused reading your posts. Maybe I'm the one on something.

Sorry man. I'm not sure how else to word my posts better. It is hard for me to put things in words regarding how I feel about something.

I think the concept of this is fine. I just did not think it was the right location. Hopefully there will be more like it coming soon. I like living on a acreage but I know that there are others who don't. Just saying there needs to be a variety of housing options.

[dankrutka]

Great development in a great location. Too bad for Edmond. Their loss.

[jerrywall]

I don't know how we'll survive...

[krisb]

huskysooner: Do you have any interest or plans to develop in the Wheeler District? I am disappointed that Edmond could not embrace this concept but am confident that urban Oklahoma City is ripe and ready.

[jerrywall]

I'm sure Edmond could embrace this concept, if it's done in a different area.

[krisb]

Still not sure why the area was not ideal, besides the neighbors. It is the most historic, traditional neighborhood in Edmond in close proximity to a park and trails.

Because it required rezoning a single residence property into a PUD, required putting dumpsters on park property, required running sewage through public park property, and would drastically increase traffic in front of one of Edmond's oldest parks. And it's not like Edmond is short of developable land. It also wouldn't meet normal fire and safety requirements, and they were asking for exceptions to those rules.

[krisb]

Not sure how 18 new residences would drastically increase traffic other than more people actually using the park. This kind of development has been done all over the country and world. Urban OKC is ready for this even though Edmond is not.

[CuatrodeMayo]

It's unfortunate to see a great project in my hometown killed by a misinformation campaign. Husky is a great guy and this would have been a first-class development and unlike anything in Edmond. I have a feeling we'll be hearing more from him in the future...

A single small road leading to 18 new residences wouldn't increase traffic?

What misinformation? That's the thing. Most information I've seen is from their own filings with the city. I'd love to hear something otherwise that was missed...

[jerrywall]

What we really missed out on was the revenue the city would have made towing cars parked at the park after dark. They're pretty aggressive about it at Fink.

[oklip955]

I was think of a good location for this project. There is an old brick house with lots of land behind it on Bryant just across the street from the aquadic center. There is a new nursing home next to the property. Anyway, I was thinking that if would be a good transition from singe family to office/etc. Also being across from a large park with walking trails. Near shopping and hopefully on the bus route. The land is most likely already planned for something.

Not drastically, as you said.

[jerrywall]

Great example of Loki's wager. We can niggle over quantification and how much of an increase is too much, but that's going to differ on a persons personal opinion so there is no point once someone starts playing those type of games. Its all moot anyways since this development is dead.

We can agree to disagree on the perceived negative impact of the project. It is peculiar that Edmond is overly concerned about traffic as the entire town is congested with cars and intersections with cars. Every new development increases traffic within and between the existing neighborhoods.
