Z-8766 Staff AnalysisJune 7, 2012 II19LVA■k!remrl! FILE NO_: Z-8766 NAME: Bradley Accessory Dwelling — Conditional Use Permit LOCATION: 12900 County Line Road OWNERIAPPLICANT: Lucas and Karla Bradley PROPOSAL: A conditional use permit is requested to allow for construction of an accessory dwelling (guest house) on this R-2 zoned 10+ acre tract. 1. SITE LOCATION: The site is located on the north side of County Line Road, '/4 mile west of Vimy Ridge Road. 2, COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: The area contains a variety of residential properties; including similarly - sized large tracts with single family residences and urban, smaller lot residential subdivisions. The properties to the east and southeast are larger tracts. Single family subdivisions are located to the west and to the south (in Saline County). Large, acreage tracts are located to the north and northeast. The proposed accessory dwelling is to be built as an addition to an existing, three -car garage accessory building and will not "stand out" as a separate dwelling. The use appears to be compatible with the area. Notice of the Public Hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site and the SWLR United for Progress and Alexander Road Neighborhood Associations. 3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING: The existing single-family residence and proposed accessory dwelling each require one on -site parking space. The site contains a three -car garage and more than sufficient area for additional parking, if needed. A single driveway serves the residence. It will be extended to provide additional access to the garage. 4, SCREENING AND BUFFERS: No Comments. June 7, 2012 ITEM NO.: 4 Cont. FILE NO.: Z-8766 5. PUBLIC WORKS COMMENTS: No Comments. 6.

Water: No objections. All Central Arkansas Water requirements in effect at the time of request for water service must be met. Contact Central Arkansas Water regarding the size and location of the water meter. If there are facilities that need to be adjusted and/or relocated, contact Central Arkansas Water. That work would be done at the expense of the developer. Contact Central Arkansas Water if additional fire protection or metered water service is required. The Little Rock Fire Department needs to evaluate this site to determine whether additional public and/or private fire hydrant(s) will be required. If additional fire hydrant(s) are required, they will be installed at the Developer's expense. Due to the nature of this facility, installation of an approved reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly (RPZ) is required on the domestic water service. This assembly must be installed prior to the first point of use. Central Arkansas Water (CAW) requires that upon installation of the RPZA, successful tests of the assembly must be completed by a Certified Assembly Tester licensed by the State of Arkansas and approved by CAW. The test results must be sent to CAW's Cross Connection Section within ten days of installation and annually thereafter. Contact the Cross Connection Section at 377-1226 if you would like to discuss backflow prevention requirements for this project. 2 June 7, 2012 EM NO.: 4 fCont.

Utility and Fire Department Comments were noted. The applicant was advised to respond to staff issues by May 23, 2012.

STAFF ANALYSIS: The R-2 zoned, 10 acre tract located at 12,900 County Line Road contains a one-story, frame, single family residence and associated accessory buildings; including a detached, three -car garage. The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow an accessory dwelling to be built as an addition onto the garage building. The accessory dwelling will be occupied by the applicant's parents and later will serve as a guest house. The accessory dwelling will not be rented. The proposed one-story accessory dwelling is approximately 1,000 square in area and will contain a kitchen, 1 1/2 bathrooms, living area and 1 bedroom. A porch will extend the length of the front of the house. The dwelling will have a vinyl siding exterior and shingled -pitched roof to match the existing house. The existing driveway will be extended to provide access. No separate utilities are requested. To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues. Allowing a small accessory dwelling/guest house on this 10 acre tract should have no effect on other nearby properties.
