October 14, 2008 — Rogers County Commissioners approved a zoning change and awarded a bid for the Health Department roof at Monday’s board meeting.
Commissioners approved a zoning change from Agricultural to RS-40 (residential) for a lot split at 20276 S. 4092 Road, Claremore, on the recommendation of the Rogers County Planning Commission.
Commission Director Magan DeLozier Green said the zoning change was approved by the planning commission in a 7-0 vote on Oct. 2.
Thursday’s planning commission meeting has no county agenda items. Green said the commission has averaged one planning and zoning meeting per month during 2008.
“Our zoning requests and subdivision plats are down for the year,” Green said. “But our permits have remained steady until this past week.”
In October, the planning commission has sold five building permits. An average number would be closer to 15 by the half-point of the month, Green said.
Green said she anticipates that builders will be more cautious due to the economy. She believes the county will continue to see building permits issued for custom homes, but that the number of permits on spec homes is likely to slow down.
The County Health Department roofing project was awarded to low bidder Fuller Roofing Co. of Owasso.
Fuller bid the job at $49,350. Also bidding was Tribal Construction Co. at $58,999.
In other county business, commissioners:
• approved CBRI fund engineering contract with Kellogg Engineering for replacement of Bridge 56, a 32-foot span bridge over Caney River tributary on EW 40 four miles west of Highway 169 in District 2 with installation of “single cell pre-case concrete” ConSpan arched structure,
• approved utility permit for Cox Communications for boring of 28 locations in Oakridge at Cooper Ranch addition in D2,
• approved blanket purchase orders for Sheriff’s Jail to Froman Oil $700, Sheriff’s General $3,500,
• approved service agreements for three cell phones for Health Department with U.S. Cellular,
• approved joining NACo National Association of Counties with dues of $1,309 for 2009 and the rest of 2008 free,
• acknowledged check to D2 from Talala Cemetery Association for $2,200 for mowing.
