Item No. 1 - CBC 562 - New Matters Jim Summerlin, P. E., Agent John Flake, Managing Member Jim May, Trustee Markham Street Joint Venture Address: 324 Executive Court Description: Replat of Lot 6, Corporate Hill, Phase 4 and Lot 7, Executive Park Variance Requested Deletion of three small perimeter landscaping strips and associated plantings as a result of the replatting of lot lines. Findings Healthsource Arkansas is located on lot seven (7), with additional parking located on lot six (6). The owners of Healthsource of Arkansas would like to purchase the property their facility is located on. Before making this purchase, they want to make sure enough parking will be included with lot seven (7) to accommodate their patrons. To accomplish this, they are seeking to move the eastern property line of lot seven (7) eastward into a portion of lot six (6). City Beautiful Commission + 500 West Markham, Room 108 + Little Rock, AR 72201 + (501) 371-4770 A portion of this replatting falls through the middle of an existing parking lot and does not provide for the minimum four (4) foot wide perimeter landscape strips along each side of the newly created property lines. Lot six (6) is located in the floodplain. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this request since the replatting is only a technical issue and enforcement of this landscaping requirement could disturb the established drainage system. Presentation: Bob Brown, Plans Review Specialist, Planning & Development, made the presentation to the Commission. Applicant Presentation: Mr. Jim Summerlin, P. E. Agent, Markham Street Joint Venture presented the Applicant's position. Motion: Nash Abrams moved to grant the variance request with the provision that the trees on the north and south be preserved as shown on the plan. Motion seconded, and carried. Public Hearing Closed: Vice Chair Dottie Funk declared Public Hearing closed. Approval of Minutes: Minutes of December, 1998 meeting approved as mailed. Treasurer's Report: Checking account: $1,947.26, $1,098.50 for fountain, leaving a balance of $848.76. Committee Reports: Neighborhood Association Liaison Committee - Nash Abrams distributed copies of the proposed Pretty and Clean Awards Program. Nash explained the background of the program (revised copy attached). Members discussed program both pros and cons. Molly Satterfield moved that the commission adopt the program with changes. Carolyn Lawrence seconded the motion, motion carried. — Education Committee - David Roberts reported that he had revised and reformatted the letter that is to be sent out. Dottie said that Randy had provided a list of architects. Mark Webre has a list of developers. We will need to get a list of engineers. We also need to send a copy to the Board of Directors, the Planning Commission and Land Alteration Task Force. Task Force - Dottie Funk reported that the Task Force is very close to coming up with a tree preservation ordinance. Dottie said that Bob Brown continues to turn out the work for the task force. Dottie reiterated that these are just suggestions and not even working drafts. Dottie said that there will be a public input meeting on January 28, 1999 at the University Park Adult Leisure Center. She invited commission members to attend and make comment. NEW BUSINESS New Member. Dottie reported that the board appointed Karol Zoeller to the Commission. Also, Johnnie Pugh has been appointed as the Board Liaison to the Commission. Retreat. Nash Abrams asked if the Commission could plan a retreat. Dottie said it could be held at her home. Members volunteered to help bring lunch. Members decided on Sunday, February 7, 1999 at 1:00 p.m. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Parks & Recreation Report - Bryan Day • Zoo. Mayor's Task Force has met since July and they are recommending a couple of things that will benefit the zoo and will benefit the Parks' Department in the long run. The first is that it will pulled out of the Parks Department and become its own separate department. There will be a nine member board of governors appointed by the mayor. It will merge Friends of the Zoo into one entity so that it will be one group, and there won't be a perception of conflict of interest, everybody will be working from the same page. Mayor's Sales Tax Package. Parks will benefit a great deal from that if it is adopted. He first has to get the City Board to buy into it. Should it pass as it stands now, the Zoo will get $10,000,000 for capitol improvements and $2,000,000 for operations. The Parks Department will get #1,000,000 for operations and $22,000,000 for capitol improvements. • Fountain Report - Bryan Day reported that the City has absorbed all the cost of restoration. The fountain is all but done. There were some animal figurines that need to be recast. They're being done somewhere on the east ccast. Once they're in they will be reattached to the fountain and it will be moved to the cemetary. The location has been picked out, at the end of the road up on the little hill. City will install it. The cemetary wants to build a garden around it and plant some flowers. It should be sometime in March or April. Polish the Rock Award. Dottie reported that Linda Joyce had been awarded the Polish the Rock Award which was presented at the December 22, 1998 board meeting. A Polish the Rock Award was also presented to Norma Walker at the same meeting. (Copies attached.) We will present the Tree Streets Awards in February. Report on Earth Kids Play - Gayle Owens - Reported that we are working on getting this play performed. We have been asked to sponsor a cast party, maybe something at the zoo. Commission committed to sponsor party. ADJOURNMENT.
