Summary
The Planning Commission continued MPD 6 to Jan. 7, 2026 at the applicant's request because a related neighbor has an active bankruptcy stay. Public comment on the continuance included allegations of deed fraud and a speaker who said he filed bankruptcy related to the project and served paperwork on the record.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on Nov. 5 granted a continuance to MPD 6 until Jan. 7, 2026 after the applicant said a neighboring property is subject to a bankruptcy stay that must be resolved in federal court.
Applicant Lou Reynolds told the commission that a neighbor to the subject property had filed for bankruptcy and that the applicant's legal team needed relief from the automatic stay before the case could proceed. "We learned that a neighbor to this property filed bankruptcy, and he's made a claim in the bankruptcy court regarding this action," Reynolds said. He requested a continuance of roughly 60 days to seek relief from the bankruptcy court.
Several people had signed up to speak about the item; the chair limited remarks at this hearing to whether to grant the continuance rather than the merits of the zoning application.
August Walkett, who identified himself as owner of Po' Boy Salvage of Catoosa, spoke in opposition to the development and described alleged threats to his family. He said he had filed bankruptcy on the MPD 6 property and raised allegations of deed fraud linked to the "Ann Landreth Trust." "I'm reporting suspected defraud and falsified filings involving properties connected to the MPD dash 6 zoning project known as the Robson Development," Walkett said and said he would submit a complaint to the sheriff. Walkett also said he served a representative on the record during the hearing.
Commissioner Turner Addison moved to continue MPD 6 to Jan. 7, 2026; Commissioner Robinson seconded. The commission approved the continuance after the chair called for aye/nay and recorded no opposition or abstentions.
The commission's action was procedural: the continuance preserves the commission's ability to consider the zoning application after the bankruptcy stay is resolved. The commission did not take up the substance of the MPD 6 proposal at the Nov. 5 meeting.
