Variance Request: CBC Case # 639, 11610 Pleasant Ridge Road
Staff opened the public hearing for the variance request located at 11610 Pleasant Ridge Road. In
May of 1998 the Planning Commission approved the site plan for this 5.63 acre site zoned C-2 and
located within the Highway 10 Scenic Corridor Design Overlay District. There are two existing
buildings on this property which total 33,900 square feet. In addition there are 263 parking spaces
that serve these facilities. The larger building located within the west half of property is a retail
space and the smaller building to the east is currently being used as the Market Place Grill
restaurant. The property to the south located across Pleasant Ridge Road includes a former US
Post office, an office building at the northwest corner of Fairview and Pleasant Ridge Roads, and
the Pleasant Ridge Town Center Shopping Center. West of the site is a multifamily development.
North of the site across Cantrell Road is a property zoned POD which has developed as a bank,
and west of this bank the property is zoned PD-R which was approved for a multi -family
development which has not occurred.
The property was developed in accordance with the approved site and landscape plans. The
original landscape plan dated August 1998 indicated that a portion of the existing tree masses were
to be preserved on the north and west property lines. The required forty (40) foot street buffer
adjacent to the north property line is steeply sloped from the back of the parking lot curb to the
existing sidewalk located in the Cantrell Road right-of-way. Starting at Pleasant Ridge Road and
progressing northward approximately the first 1/3 of the property is traditionally landscaped with
lawn, trees, shrubs and groundcover. The remainder of this street buffer was left undisturbed and
the existing trees and vegetation were protected, preserved and allowed to continue in their natural
state to meet the landscape requirements.
In December of 2014 the owner of the property begin clearing the underbrush, pruning tree limbs,
and removing a portion of the trees from this undisturbed street buffer. A residential neighbor
concerned that this activity may be in violation of the city code alerted the City of Little Rock's
Planning Department and Public Works Department. Upon investigation it was determined that
along with the understory vegetation eight -eight (88) trees had been removed from the Cantrell
Road buffer area. The trees that have been removed ranged in size from four (4) inches in caliper
to twenty-five (25) inches in caliper. In accordance with the tree replacement chart found in Sec.
15-52. - Preservation, protection and planting. The replacement of these trees would require
two hundred and fifty-eight (258) three (3) inch caliper trees to be planted in the area where
existing trees were removed.
The preserved plant material in this Cantrell Road buffer was not completely removed. With the
exception of the understory vegetation a large stand of mature trees remains at the north end as
well as the center of the buffer area. These areas are specifically indicated on the approved
landscape plan to remain and still exist. However, in part the trees and vegetation that have matured
over the past seventeen years have been removed. In addition mature trees within specific areas
noted as "Existing Tree Mass to Remain" on the approved landscape plan have been removed.
White-Daters and Associates has prepared a landscape plan which adds plant material back to this
buffer area. The proposed plan shows the addition of thirteen (13) two (2) inch caliper trees and
forty-two (42) five (5) gallon shrubs. If this were a new development the proposed and existing
landscape shown in this area would meet or exceed the landscape requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is supportive of the White-Daters plan adding plant material back to this buffer area.
Presentation:
Owner representatives Mr. Joe White and Ms. Sally Horsey of White-Daters and Associates
provided photo copies of the existing conditions of the site. In addition the proposed landscape
plan and the original 1998 landscape plan were also presented.
Mr. White stated that his client Mr. Lou Schickel intentions were to enhance his property and
clean-up the hillside between Cantrell Road and the back of the shopping center's parking lot curb.
It was stated that the understory vegetation was eradicated and the existing trees were limbed -up
or removed to provide a more park like sitting to an area that Mr. Schickel felt was overgrown.
Mr. White also noted that his client had not obtained a permit before engaging this work.
Mr. White stated that White-Daters had located the remaining existing trees and he felt the intent
of the original landscape plan was still in existence today. In addition the plant material has
continued to grow this spring and the groundcover is again thriving.
Chairman Peek inquired if there had been any mature trees taken from the preserved tree areas
indicated on the plan.
Mr. White stated that he believed Mr. Schickel's tenants in the retail space felt that the trees had
matured to a point that their storefronts could not be seen from Cantrell Road. The removal of
some of the existing trees was an effort to open this space to provide a clear view from the road.
Commissioner Homeyer inquired if there was a green strip adjacent to the south side of the parking
lot. Ms. Horsey explained that there was not a strip in this area and the original plan included a
sidewalk.
Chairman Peek inquired about the types of trees that are being proposed. Ms. Horsey stated these
would be smaller native trees, such as dogwood, buckeye, and redbud that would provide greenery
against the retaining wall located in this area but would not block the site lines to the storefronts.
Ms. Horsey also stated that the intent is to make this area look more natural. Furthermore, Ms.
Horsey added that shrubs are being added adjacent to the parking lot to meet the ordinance
requirements.
Chairman Peek inquired about the shrub species. Ms. Horsey stated that these would be evergreen;
Bufford hollies and Chinese hollies which would grow large and need to be trimmed on occasion.
Chairman Peek stated that he believes that there is not much difference between the original plan
and the proposed plan and that the tree masses are still intact.
The commissioners discussed the various items associated with this request including a donation
to the T.R.E.E Fund. City Attorney Carpenter clarified the T.R.E.E. Fund section of the ordinance
and noted that the number trees remaining on site exceeds the minimum number required and
therefore the property owner shall not be penalized.
Motion: Chairman Peek entertained a motion to approve the proposed landscape plan prepared
by White-Daters and Associates be accepted and implemented to replace the vegetation that has
been removed from the street buffer with the condition that no additional trees greater than four
(4) inches in caliper be removed from the property.
Second: Commissioner Homeyer seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

FINDINGS:
In May of 1998 the Planning Commission approved the site plan for 11610 Pleasant Ridge Road. This
5.63 acre site is zoned C-2 and located within the Highway 10 Scenic Corridor Design Overlay District.
There are two existing buildings on this property which total 33,900 square feet. In addition there are
263 parking spaces that serve these facilities. The larger building located within the west half of property
is a retail space and the smaller building to the east is currently being used as the Market Place Grill

Little Rock City Manager
500 W Markham St # 203
Little Rock, AR 72201
Dear Mr. Moore,
Greetings from the Little Rock City Beautiful Commission! We hope this letter finds you well and that you're enjoying the
warmer weather. As you know, the Commission's annual Eye of the Beholder Awards and Landscape Awards accompany
this warmer weather and approaching summer months. Last year we awarded several local homes with Eye of the
Beholder Awards. The Hillary Rodham Clinton Children's Library & Learning Center was the recipient of the 2014
Landscape Award.
Over the past few months, the Commission has researched other City Beautiful Commissions across the country in cities
of similar size and cultural characteristics. The commissions vary in several respects. For example, not all actually give
out these types of city-wide landscape awards but many partner with Adopt -a -Street programs and sponsor city-wide
clean-ups. Nearly all of the commissions that we have encountered have one thing in common: a respectable and
widely -followed social media presence (e.g., a Facebook page).
The intent of this letter is to request permission to establish a social media presence for the Little Rock City Beautiful
Commission. By using a Facebook page, the Commission hopes to accomplish several goals. The primary goal is to
increase the public's awareness of the existence of the Little Rock City Beautiful Commission and the Eye of the Beholder
Awards as well as the Landscape Awards. While the Commission's website and printable PDF forms have historically
been the method of submitting nominees forthe awards, we hope that this year through social media and a new web -
submission form the Commission is able to increase submissions and citizens' participation in the awards and
subsequently motivate Little Rock's homeowners and businesses to increase their landscaping efforts. We believe this
will further benefit Little Rock's image and also assist its beautification ambitions.
Another goal is to engage in co -promotion of our partnerships and other relevant organizations throughout the city
including Keep Little Rock Beautiful, the city-wide clean-up, and the Commission's and other organizations' participation
in the Adopt -a -Street program. At this point, we predict a potential Facebook page would be updated at a minimum of
once a month during winter months and up to 1-2 times per week during the Commission's more active months.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and would love to discuss our plan at any point. We look forward to hearing
from you!
Since ly,
J�g

Variance Request: CBC Case # 639, 11610 Pleasant Ridge Road
Staff opened the public hearing for the variance request located at 11610 Pleasant Ridge Road. In
May of 1998 the Planning Commission approved the site plan for this 5.63 acre site zoned C-2 and
located within the Highway 10 Scenic Corridor Design Overlay District. There are two existing
buildings on this property which total 33,900 square feet. In addition there are 263 parking spaces
that serve these facilities. The larger building located within the west half of property is a retail
space and the smaller building to the east is currently being used as the Market Place Grill
restaurant. The property to the south located across Pleasant Ridge Road includes a former US
Post office, an office building at the northwest corner of Fairview and Pleasant Ridge Roads, and
the Pleasant Ridge Town Center Shopping Center. West of the site is a multifamily development.
North of the site across Cantrell Road is a property zoned POD which has developed as a bank,
and west of this bank the property is zoned PD-R which was approved for a multi -family
development which has not occurred.
The property was developed in accordance with the approved site and landscape plans. The
original landscape plan dated August 1998 indicated that a portion of the existing tree masses were
to be preserved on the north and west property lines. The required forty (40) foot street buffer
adjacent to the north property line is steeply sloped from the back of the parking lot curb to the
existing sidewalk located in the Cantrell Road right-of-way. Starting at Pleasant Ridge Road and
progressing northward approximately the first 1/3 of the property is traditionally landscaped with
lawn, trees, shrubs and groundcover. The remainder of this street buffer was left undisturbed and
the existing trees and vegetation were protected, preserved and allowed to continue in their natural
state to meet the landscape requirements.
In December of 2014 the owner of the property begin clearing the underbrush, pruning tree limbs,
and removing a portion of the trees from this undisturbed street buffer. A residential neighbor
concerned that this activity may be in violation of the city code alerted the City of Little Rock's
Planning Department and Public Works Department. Upon investigation it was determined that
along with the understory vegetation eight -eight (88) trees had been removed from the Cantrell
Road buffer area. The trees that have been removed ranged in size from four (4) inches in caliper
to twenty-five (25) inches in caliper. In accordance with the tree replacement chart found in Sec.
15-52. - Preservation, protection and planting. The replacement of these trees would require
two hundred and fifty-eight (258) three (3) inch caliper trees to be planted in the area where
existing trees were removed.
The preserved plant material in this Cantrell Road buffer was not completely removed. With the
exception of the understory vegetation a large stand of mature trees remains at the north end as
well as the center of the buffer area. These areas are specifically indicated on the approved
landscape plan to remain and still exist. However, in part the trees and vegetation that have matured
over the past seventeen years have been removed. In addition mature trees within specific areas
noted as "Existing Tree Mass to Remain" on the approved landscape plan have been removed.
White-Daters and Associates has prepared a landscape plan which adds plant material back to this
buffer area. The proposed plan shows the addition of thirteen (13) two (2) inch caliper trees and
forty-two (42) five (5) gallon shrubs. If this were a new development the proposed and existing
landscape shown in this area would meet or exceed the landscape requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is supportive of the White-Daters plan adding plant material back to this buffer area.
Presentation:
Owner representatives Mr. Joe White and Ms. Sally Horsey of White-Daters and Associates
provided photo copies of the existing conditions of the site. In addition the proposed landscape
plan and the original 1998 landscape plan were also presented.
Mr. White stated that his client Mr. Lou Schickel intentions were to enhance his property and
clean-up the hillside between Cantrell Road and the back of the shopping center's parking lot curb.
It was stated that the understory vegetation was eradicated and the existing trees were limbed -up
or removed to provide a more park like sitting to an area that Mr. Schickel felt was overgrown.
Mr. White also noted that his client had not obtained a permit before engaging this work.
Mr. White stated that White-Daters had located the remaining existing trees and he felt the intent

continued to grow this spring and the groundcover is again thriving.
Chairman Peek inquired if there had been any mature trees taken from the preserved tree areas

Mr. White stated that he believed Mr. Schickel's tenants in the retail space felt that the trees had
matured to a point that their storefronts could not be seen from Cantrell Road. The removal of
some of the existing trees was an effort to open this space to provide a clear view from the road.
Commissioner Homeyer inquired if there was a green strip adjacent to the south side of the parking
lot. Ms. Horsey explained that there was not a strip in this area and the original plan included a

Chairman Peek inquired about the types of trees that are being proposed. Ms. Horsey stated these
would be smaller native trees, such as dogwood, buckeye, and redbud that would provide greenery

Ms. Horsey also stated that the intent is to make this area look more natural. Furthermore, Ms.
Horsey added that shrubs are being added adjacent to the parking lot to meet the ordinance

Chairman Peek inquired about the shrub species. Ms. Horsey stated that these would be evergreen;
Bufford hollies and Chinese hollies which would grow large and need to be trimmed on occasion.
Chairman Peek stated that he believes that there is not much difference between the original plan
and the proposed plan and that the tree masses are still intact.
The commissioners discussed the various items associated with this request including a donation
to the T.R.E.E Fund. City Attorney Carpenter clarified the T.R.E.E. Fund section of the ordinance
and noted that the number trees remaining on site exceeds the minimum number required and the
T.R.E.E Fund is not to be used as a penalty.
Motion: Chairman Peek entertained a motion to approve the proposed landscape plan prepared
by White-Daters and Associates be accepted and implemented to replace the vegetation that has
been removed from the street buffer with the condition that no additional trees greater than four
