Public Works Issues: Z -6689-B Olde Towne, Inc. 300 East Markham Part of Block 35, Original City of Little Rock GB Variances are requested from the sign location, appearance, lettering and illumination provisions of Section 36-353 (River Market Design Guidelines). The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter. Former warehouse building now being remodeled. Retail Shops and Restaurant No issues associated with this sign variance. B. Staff Analvsis: Vesta's is a new retail business which has opened in the newly remodeled building located at 300 East Markham Street, in the River Market District. Vesta's occupies the corner of the building which fronts onto East Markham and Cumberland/LaHarpe. Signs have been proposed for the business which exceed ordinance standards for the River Market District. A 4' X 8' (32 sq. ft.) wall mounted sign has been placed on the west hall, facing Cumberland/LaHarpe. Section 36- 353(c)(2)a limits the size of signs in this area to 25 square feet. Jan(i__ry 31, 2000 Item No.: A (Cont.) The letter "V" in "Vesta's on this same sign is 210" in height. Section 36-353(c)(3)a limits the height of letters to 1'6". Signage is proposed to be placed on the perpendicular/ projecting architectural element on the Markham Street fagade. Again, the letter "V" in "Vesta's is proposed to be 2'0" in height, exceeding the maximum of 116" allowed by Section 36- 353 (c) (3) a. The signage on this perpendicular/projecting sign will have metal lettering which will be back -lit with neon to produce a silhouette effect. Section 36-353(d)(4)b prohibits the use of neon on projecting signs. The last variance request concerns the number of proposed signs. Section 36-353(c)(1)(b) limits businesses to a total of 3 signs. Vesta's proposes a total of 5 signs; the wall sign on the Cumberland fagade, the perpendicular/ projecting sign on the Markham Street fagade, 2 window signs on the Markham Street fagade and 1 on the front door with hours of operation. The River Market Design Review Committee has discussed the issue and recommends approval of the requested variances. A copy of the Committee's report is attached. Staff concurs with the Committee's recommendation. The signage needs on the Cumberland/LaHarpe fagade are different than elsewhere in the District. Signs on this fagade face a heavily traveled state highway which is not as pedestrian oriented as the remainder of the District. The minor sign area and lettering variances for the sign on the west fagade should have no effect on other area businesses. The "esta's" part of the lettering on the perpendicular/ projecting sign on the Markham fagade is 6" in height, well below the allowable 1'6". Only the "V" in "Vesta's" exceeds 116" in height, being 210" tall. Staff believes the overall appearance of the sign is appropriate, considering the reduced size of the majority of the lettering. Neon is not permitted to be the main source of light, illumination is to be from a concealed source of light or a decorative source. The neon will be installed in the back of the channel letters on the perpendicular/projecting E i Janu"ry 31, 2000 Item No.: A (Cont. signs, producing a silhouette effect. The neon will not be visible. Vesta's proposes to have 2 small, window signs, which when added to the other proposed signs, exceed the allowable 3 signs per business. The small window signs are at street level, to serve the pedestrian traffic on East Markham Street. These signs will not exceed 16" in height and the lettering will be of an unobtrusive dark color. C. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested sign location, appearance, lettering and illumination variances subject to the signs being designed in the size and color as proposed by the applicant and approved by the River Market Design Review Committee. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (DECEMBER 27, 1999) The applicant was not present. There were no objectors present. One letter of opposition from an area property owner had been received. Staff informed the Board that the applicant had failed to complete the required notification procedure and the item needed to be deferred to the January 31, 2000 meeting. The item was placed on the Consent Agenda and approved for deferral by a vote of 5 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JANUARY 31, 2000) Gary Langlais abstained on this issue. Jamie Moses was present representing the application. There were no objectors present. One letter of opposition had been received by staff and forwarded to the Board. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval subject to the signs being designed in the size and color as proposed by the applicant and approved by the River Market Design Review Committee. It was noted that the Design Review Committee had determined that the addition of a "light" border around the word "Vesta's" on the Markham Street windows met the original agreement between the applicant and the DRC. Fred Gray asked Mr. Moses what the status was of a temporary, "easel" sign located in front of Vesta's. Mr. Moses responded 3 Jan,ary 31, 2000 Item No.: A (Cont.) that he did not know. Mr. Gray informed Mr. Moses that he was sure a permit was needed for the temporary sign. Norm Floyd asked why some of the requested signs had been erected prior to approval having been given and permits issued. Mr. Moses responded that some signs were put up prior to Christmas to advertise the business for that important retail season. Williams Ruck asked Mr. Moses to present some justification for the requested variances. Mr. Moses responded that the site was on a corner and had two facades, not one as many businesses in the River Market District. He also noted that the store fronted onto a state highway on one side. Norm Floyd commented that the galvanized material used on the architectural projection on the Markham Street fagade appeared to be deteriorating. Mr. Moses responded that the material would not be allowed to deteriorate or to become dangerous. Mr. Floyd stated that he would prefer to vote separately on the variance issues. During the subsequent discussion, the Board determined that it would vote on three issues: 1.The variances associated with the wall sign on the Cumberland/LaHarpe Frontage. 2.The variances associated with the sign on the projecting, architectural element on the Markham Frontage. 3. The request to have a total of 5 signs. A motion was made to approve the sign size and lettering variances for the wall sign on the Cumberland/LaHarpe Frontage subject to compliance with the condition proposed by staff. The vote was 4 ayes, 0 noes, 0 absent and 1 abstaining (Langlais). The variances were approved. A motion was made to approve the lettering size and use of neon variances requested for the sign to be placed on the projecting, architectural element on the Markham Street Frontage subject to compliance with the condition proposed by staff. After the second, Norm Floyd stated that he was opposed to this type of sign, that he felt it was out of character for the River Market District and did not meet the intent of the district. The vote on the motion was 2 ayes, 2 noes, 0 absent and 1 abstaining (Langlais). The motion failed and the variances were denied. A motion was made to approve the request to have a total of 5 signs subject to compliance with the condition proposed by staff. 4 l January 31, 2000 Item No.: A (Cont.) After the second, Norm Floyd commented that the site did have two frontages and perhaps additional signage was not unreasonable. Fred Gray commented that the additional signage on the windows and door would be directed to pedestrian traffic. Scott Richburg stated that he was also in support of the request to have the additional signs as proposed. William Ruck stated that he felt the signage on the building was gaudy and not in keeping with the River Market District but that he would accede to the Design Review Committee on this issue. The vote on the motion was 4 ayes, 0 noes, 0 absent and 1 abstaining (Langlais). The motion was approved. 5 WITTENBERG DELONY & DAVIDSON ARCHITECTS November 24, 1999 Dana Carney Department of Planning and Development 723 W. Markham St. Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 RE: Vesta's — a retail store in the Olde Towne Building 300 E. Markham St. WD&D # 99024 Dear Dana, Vesta's is the comer store of the 3 retail shops located along Markham Street. The store also fronts LeHarpe/ Cumberland Street which is more traffic oriented. The existing sign was placed on the LeHarpe Street side to be noticed by street traffic, therefore the sign was made large enough to be seen at a distance. The logo is a proportional lettering with a larger "V" in a cursive lettering spelling Vesta's. In trying to make the smaller letters read the capitol "V" is increased to about 2'-0". We are asking a variance for the size of the sign and the letter "V". The perpendicular sign at the canopy will be the same size with the logo Vesta's made of metal lettering with neon lighting backing each letter will produce a silhouette effect. We have agreed to lower the sign letters below the building parapet. We are asking for a variance on allowing neon and the size of the letter "V". Finally, we would like to have 2 window signs and 1 on the front door with the hours of business on it. We wanted to attract pedestrian traffic and the other two signs are geared more to vehicular traffic. We feel the window signs are similar to the other window signs in the River Market area. The window sign letter "V" will not exceed 16" and the logo will be proportionate to the others. The door sign area size will not exceed 8.5"x 11 ". These signs will be purple vinyl letters with the logo/ letterhead. We would like to ask for a variance on the number of signs allowed for this business, especially since it is on the corner of such an important intersection. If you have any questions please call.

Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 Chairman Langlais and Board Members, I have been in contact with the River Market Design Review Committee concerning the alteration of signs previously agreed upon at 300 East Markham. The DRC has determined that the addition of a white border around the word "Vesta's", on the Markham Street windows, meets the original agreement between the applicant and the DRC. The committee members did comment that it would have been appropriate for the applicant to appear before the Board of Adjustment and apply for a sign permit before mounting the signs to the storefront. The DRC members look forward to working with the Board of Adjustment members on protecting the visual integrity of the district. Shawn Spencer DRC Staff December 9, 1999 Mr. Langlais, Chairman Board of Adjustment 723 W. Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 Chairman Langlais and Board Members, The River Market Design Review Committee (DRC) has discussed the issues concerning the recommendations to the Board of Adjustment for the signs at 300 East Markham. The first sign is the 4'x8' Vesta's sign that faces Highway 10. DRC members felt that this sign is more vehicular oriented and should be allowed to exceed the requirements within the ordinance. The west fagade of the building at 300 East Markham is the only building within the District that has a large amount of traffic running perpindicular to the fagade. The second issue with this sign is the `V' in Vesta's exceeds the limits set by the ordinance. `Vesta's' is a logo and the `V' is proportioned to the other letters in the word. Since the sign is larger to be seen by vehicular traffic the "esta's" had to increase in size, thus making the `V' exceed the limit. The DRC also recommends approval on this waiver. The second sign in question is a perpendicular sign on Markham Street. The `V' in this sign also exceeds the limit set in the ordinance. To make the "esta's" readable the `V' has to be enlarged. The second issue with this sign is the use of neon. Neon as the main design of the sign is not allowed. The applicant in this case is using neon as a source of light. The neon tubes will not be seen from the street. DRC members feel that the use of neon in this situation is proper and would recommend that this sign be issued a waiver. The third sign(s) in question are window signs facing Markham. The applicant is asking for two additional signs for a total of five — the ordinance allows three per business. The applicant stated that these signs would be of a dark purple vinyl (as in her existing logo). Since the letters are of a very dark color the DRC members felt that allowing these two signs would be appropriate. The DRC members felt that a lighter color or brighter colors would not be appropriate in this situation: Both signs shall not exceed 16" in height. DRC members feel that these signs would be appropriate and would recommend that a waiver should be issued. The DRC members look forward to working with the Board of Adjustment members on protecting the visual integrity of the district.

The River Market District has sign rules to protect the integrity of the District. We are opposed to lifting those restrictions as long each business gets street signage. We are against the awarding of the variance for size of the letters. The 1'6" letter height limit has-been determined to be adequate to read from the street. We are opposed to the variance for extending signage above the eave height. This extension of the sign above the eave serves no purpose in helping this merchant advertise his store. Each of the tenants in our building would like a larger, more visible sign. But, they kept their signs within the design limitations established by the Overlay District and we think other businesses should do the same. In our opinion, the intent of the sign codes for the District has been stretched to the limit at 300 East Markham by putting architectural features, that by any measure are just signs, into the design of the front fagade of the building. These "signs" exceed both the allowable sign size and placement codes for the District. Sincerely, Presley Melton Janry 31, 2000 Item No.: 1 File No.: Z -3458-A Owner: Mark Riable, Ltd. Address: 9720 I-30 Description: Long Legal; part of SW 1-,4, Section 35, T -1-N, R -13-W, City of Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas Zoned: Variance Requested: Justification: Present Use of Property Proposed Use of Property: Staff Report: A. Public Works Issues: C-4 A variance is requested from the area regulations of Section 36- 302 to permit construction of a new building with a reduced rear yard setback of 15 feet. Due to the required right-of-way dedication, the parking requirements and the shallow depth of the lot, the building needs to be constructed nearer the rear property line. Commercial New, office -warehouse building 1. Warehouse Drive is listed on the Master Street Plan as a commercial street. A dedication of right-of-way to 30 feet from centerline is required. With Building Permit 2. Provide design of street conforming to "MSP" (Master Street Plan). Construct one-half street improvement to this street including 5 -foot sidewalk with planned development. Jan _ry 31, 2000 Item No.: 1 (Cont.) 3. Plans of all work in right-of-way shall be submitted for approval prior to start of work. 4. Stormwater detention ordinance applies to this property. 5. Driveways shall conform to Sec. 210 or Ordinance 18,031. This site is permitted to have only one driveway. B. Staff Analysis: The applicant proposes to construct a one-story, 7,500 square foot, office -warehouse building on the C-4 zoned property located at 9720 I-30. The property actually fronts onto Warehouse Road, approximately 300 feet north of the I-30 Frontage Road. The building is proposed to have a rear yard setback of 15 feet at one corner. The code requires a rear yard setback of 25 feet for this C-4 zoned lot. Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. The tract is fairly wide but is shallow. After the required right-of-way is dedicated, the lot will be 126 feet deep on the south and 163 feet deep on the north. Moving one corner of the building slightly to the east will allow for installation of the required parking and landscaping in the front. Only the southern corner of the building is proposed to have the reduced setback of 15 feet. From that point, the building angles away from the property line so that the north end of the structure meets the required 25 foot setback. All other required setbacks are met or exceeded. An area of fairly dense shrubbery and other vegetation is located behind the proposed building to provide some screening of the site. This area of trees and shrubbery is to remain. A private road is beyond the shrubbery, providing additional separation from the C-4 and I-2 zoned properties to the east. The applicant also owns these properties. There are other issues unrelated to the setback variance which must be resolved prior to issuance of a building permit. The 6 foot high wood fence indicated around the dumpster must be changed to 8 feet in height. The perimeter landscaping strip on the south falls below the minimum of 4 feet (3 feet indicated). This area must be increased. The major issue concerns the driveways onto Warehouse Road. The applicant proposes to utilize the two, existing driveways. Current city code allows only one driveway. This issue will have to be resolved with Public Works. It may require a waiver by the Board of Directors to allow the two proposed driveways. If it is ultimately determined that only one 2 Jan"ary 31, 2000 Item No.: 1 (Cont. driveway is permitted, the site plan will have to be modified. Again, these issues do not affect the variance issue before the Board of Adjustment. C. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback variance subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with Public Works Comments including any variance or waivers of those requirements as may be granted by the Board of Directors. 2. Compliance with the City's Landscape and Buffer Ordinances. 3. The existing trees and shrubbery are to remain between the parking lot and building and the eastern perimeter, as indicated on the site plan. 4.A final, revised site plan addressing the issues raised by staff must be submitted and approved prior to issuance of a building permit. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JANUARY 31, 2000) The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval subject to compliance with the conditions outlined in the "Staff Recommendation" above. Condition no. 1 was amended by staff to read: "Compliance with Public Works Comments including any variance or waivers of those requirements as may be granted by the Board of Directors or the Public Works Department Director." The applicant offered no additional comments. The item was placed on the Consent Agenda and approved as recommended by staff. The vote was 5 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. 3 Jai—ary 31, 2000 Item No.: 2 File No.: Z -3915-B Name: CalArk Trucking Address: 12024 I-30 Type of Issue: 12 month extension of a previously granted 24 month deferral of the paving requirements of Section 36-508. Staff Report: CalArk Trucking Company is located at 12024 I-30; a 30± acre, C-4 zoned tract bounded by Otter Creek Road on the north and I-30 on the southeast. The trucking company is located on the western 22± acres of the tract. On November 24, 1997, the Board of Adjustment granted a two year deferral of the paving requirements of Section 36-508, allowing the trucking company to utilize a gravel parking area for the company's trucks and employee vehicles. There was some question, at that time, of a possible realignment of the Otter Creek Road overpass over I-30 which could have affected this site. That two year deferral expired on November 24, 1999. CalArk is now asking that the paving deferral be extended for one additional year. On November 11, 1999, the Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat, dividing the easternmost 8± acres of the site into 4 lots which are to be sold for potential development by other parties. CalArk states it is uncertain how the truck terminal facility will be "laid out" on the remaining property. It appears that the possible realignment of the overpass is no longer an issue. The 4 lot plat was approved without the realignment issue being of concern, other than for some specific driveway placement. Although staff is anxious to see CalArk's property properly developed with required paving and landscaping, it does not appear that allowing some additional time is unreasonable. The site has a long history of some use of unimproved vehicular use areas. There are no other uses immediately adjacent to the site which could be impacted by the time extension. Staff believes it is appropriate to limit the extension to run until November 24, 2000, 12 months from the expiration of the previous deferral. i January 31, 2000 Item No.: 2 (Cont.) Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a 12 month extension of the previously granted 24 month deferral of the paving requirements of Section 36-508 subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with Public Works Comments as outlined in the November 24, 1997 minutes of case no. Z -3915-B. 2. The extension is to run only until November 24, 2000. 3. By November 24, 2000, the property is to be paved and landscaped to comply with applicable city codes or use of the unpaved area is to cease. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JANUARY 31, 2000) The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval subject to compliance with the conditions outlined in the "Staff Recommendation" above. It was noted that Public Works Comments were relevant only when development occurs on the site. The applicant offered no additional comments. The item was placed on the Consent Agenda and approved as recommended by staff. The vote was 5 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. K December 21, 1999 Mr. Dana Carney DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 723 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 RE: Extension of Zoning Variance Dear Mr. Carney: lArk ec00,--- ci I would like to request an extension to the zoning variance granted to CalArk in November 1997. The reason for the request to extend is that we are in the process of selling a portion of the property, approximately 7 acres, for retail development and it is uncertain at this point how we will layout the truck terminal facility. Therefore, I would like to extend the variance for an additional 12 months. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (501)455-3399.

Staff Analysis: Cal Ark Trucking occupies the C-4 zoned property located at 12024 I-30. The property is located at the I-30/Otter Creek Interchange. Cal Ark is requesting a 24 month deferral of the paving requirement of Section 36-508 to allow continued use of a gravel parking area. Cal Ark intends to fully comply with the City's paving requirements. They cannot however make long-term plans for the use of the property until the Arkansas Highway Department has decided on a definite design for a new I- 30/Otter Creek Interchange. It is possible that a substantial portion of this site will be absorbed into the new interchange for access roads and exit/entrance ramps. An aerial photograph has been submitted by the applicant showing the potential road alignment. Staff believes it is reasonable to grant the 24 month deferral. The site has had some unimproved area used as truck parking since before it was annexed into the City. The potential is there for the applicant to construct an expensive paved and landscaped parking area only to have it destroyed by realignment of the interchange. C. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the 24 month deferral of the paving requirements of Section 36-508 subject to compliance with Public works Comments. 2 November 24, 1997 Item No.: 2 (Cont.) BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (NOVEMBER 24, 1997) The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval subject to compliance with Public Works Comments. The applicant offered no additional comments.
