Background

Barnard Elementary School originally opened in 1925, but the site was destroyed by a fire in 2012.  The site was purchased by a private development team after a bid to turn the area into a residential neighborhood. The site currently contains an asphalt parking area, open green space where the school building once was, and Works Progress Administration (WPA) retaining walls and stone work around the perimeter of the site.

The proposed project came about after the Tulsa School Board took bids for the site. Since the school site is surrounded by residential homes on all sides, the project proposals were under high scrutiny from neighbors. Their proposal was selected out of many, and has support from area citizens. The development team that owns the property is looking for at least 18 single-family residential lots to fit onto the property. Any deviations from this, or the draft design shown below, must have solid justification for the changes to be accepted by the developer and area residents. It should also be noted that this site includes retaining walls that were constructed by the WPA, and their historical value should be considered within the scope of the design.

The current project involves the siting of 18 residential lots with a proposed through street, South Gillette Ave, being extended from E 17th St to E 17th Pl. Many of the homes will likely have detached garages, so the placement of the structures while maintaining the feel of the surrounding neighborhood will be critical. The proposed development is in the Crow Creek watershed, which is a 2010 Oklahoma 303(d) listed impaired waterbody.
