Ready Program is a Youthful Offender Program and this year has
entered into a contract with the Little Rock School District to
work with their long term suspension and expelled students with
behavior modification. Mayor Dailey recommended that she make a
proposal for some of the Prevention, Intervention and Treatment
dollars.
Director Scheibner asked that consideration be given to
Zoning Case 2- 4249 -A for Freeway Business Park Planned Unit
Development at I -630 and Rodney Parham Road. The three items
were discussed at the April 27, 1994 Agenda Meeting and were
deferred until May 17, 1994; however, the issues have been
resolved. Therefore, consideration was then given to Ordinance
No. 16,643, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY LAND USE PLAN IN THE BOYLE
PARK DISTRICT, CHANGING AN AREA FROM MULTIFAMILY TO COMMERCIAL,
135 FEET WEST OF HUGHES STREET AND SOUTH OF I -630, AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES;
(Re: Freeway Business Park POD.)
and the Ordinance was read the first time. (See discussion
related to Ordinance No. 16,644 below.) There was a motion by
Director Scheibner, seconded by Director Mason, to suspend the
rules and place the Ordinance on second reading. The motion was
unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being ten in
number and two - thirds or more of the members of the Board of
Directors - elect, and the second reading of the Ordinance ensued.
There was a subsequent motion and second by Directors Scheibner
and Roy, respectively, to again suspend the rules and place the
Ordinance on third and final reading. The motion was unanimously
adopted by the Board Members present, being ten in number and
two - thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors -
elect, and the Ordinance was read the third and last time. A
roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance
Pass, with the following results: Ayes - Directors Joyce, Roy,
Sharp, Lewellen, Mason, Mayor Dailey, Directors Adcock, Hendrix,
Scheibner and Keck - total 10; Noes - None; Absent - Director
Priest - total 1. Therefore, the Ordinance was declared PASSED.
The next presentation was Ordinance No. 16,644, with the
title being:
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND
ESTABLISHING A PLANNED OFFICE DISTRICT TITLED FREEWAY BUSINESS
PARK LONG -FORM POD (Z- 4249 -A), AND LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF
I -630, APPROXIMATELY 0.1 MILE EAST OF RODNEY PARHAM ROAD IN THE
CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 36 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES;
and the Ordinance was read the first time. Col. Ralph White,
representing the University Park Residential Association, said
that meetings were held, recommendations were made to the
developer, and an agreement had been reached between University
Park Residential Association and the developer. Mr. David
Simmons, representing the applicant, responded to questions by
the Board. In response to Director Adcock's question regarding
the waiver of the sidewalk requirement, Mr. Simmons stated that
due to the unique lay of the land and because this is a cul -de-
sac street with access from Rodney Parham Road only and it is a
office low use type development with very little foot traffic, a
sidewalk on one side of the street would be sufficient. Col.
White stated for the record that the understanding is that the
conditions set forth in the agreement can't be changed. Mr. Jim
Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, said the
agreement would become part of the PCD file and if the property
is sold, the new owner would have to abide by the PCD
requirements. There was a motion by Director Scheibner, seconded
by Director Mason, to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance

A public hearing had been scheduled for this time and place
by a motion adopted April 19, 1994, on the appeal of the Planning
Commission's denial of a Planned Unit Development titled Barrow
Mini - Storage Short Form PCD, located at 2000 South John Barrow
Road (Z- 5709). The appeal was filed on April 1, 1994, by Mr.
Thomas J. Kemp, developer, on behalf of the owner/ applicant, Mr.
Kelton Brown, Sr. Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing open.
The first speaker was Mr. Gene Eberle, representing Tom and Ray
Kemp, who are seeking to develop a mini - storage facility. The
land was used as a dairy until 30 years ago, since then there has
been nothing on this land except scrub trees. Beginning at Kanis
going south on Barrow for seven blocks is nearly all commercial
development, there is no residential at all. The applicant's
desire is to build an attractive mini - storage facility, which
will enhance the surroundings, and will blend in with United
Medical building. The applicant understood that the reason this
was not approved by the Planning Commission or Staff is that it
did not conform to the Land Use Plan at that time. Project
Manager Doug Holmstrom was the next speaker. He stated he had
worked closely with Mr. Bob Brown regarding the landscaping
requirements. This project will add very minimal traffic to
Barrow Road, and this will be a very quiet business that will
benefit the area. He responded to questions from Board members
regarding buffers and landscaping. Mr. Mike Russell,
representing United Medical, Inc. which is adjacent to the
