MAPC approves zoning requests

By Robert Barron, Staff Writer

Enid Metropolitan Area Planning Com-mission approved all items on a lengthy agenda Monday, including a rezoning of property on Monroe and Wabash that paves the way for Integris Bass Baptist Health Center to build medical offices.

Specifically, the property is located at 701 S. Monroe and the north side of the 600 block of West Wabash. The request is to rezone from R-7 residential multi-family and C-1 light commercial to SU special use district. Lot 6 currently is occupied by an apartment building, lot 10 by a residence and lots 11-12 by a small building. The property is adjacent to Enid High School.

The commission also approved an alley closing on property behind a medical complex in the same block in Block 7, Douthitt’s 3rd addition that is owned by Integris.

In other business the commission approved a request by Riffel and Riffel to build offices at 3517 W. Garriott in the old Carmike Cinema building. Craig Riffel said the plan is to use 6,000 square feet of the 16,000 available footage in the building for a law office, and extend the east side of the building with a new front. The remainder of the building also will be remodeled for office space.

Riffel is a member of MAPC and abstained when the vote was taken.

A final plat for Wilderness Cove also was approved, along with a site at 730 S. 9th for a recycling center requested by Northern Oklahoma Resource Center of Enid.

A maintenance building for Northern Oklahoma College Enid also was approved.

A series of lot splits for Koch Nitrogen were approved so the company can extend tracks to the railroad for loading product.

A language change in the Airfield Environs Ordinance also was approved by MAPC.
