The next presentation was a proposed Ordinance entitled:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 15,746 AND MODIFYING
SECTION 2 OF SAID ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.
(Z- 5217 -A - 1925 Napa Valley to restrict office development to
one building, height limit of two story with a maximum of 30
feet. )
(See Minutes of September 15, 1992 and October 6, 1992, for first
and second readings of Ordinance.) At the request of Mayor
Priest, Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of the Department of
Neighborhoods and Planning, gave a brief summary of the proposal
to restrict the office development to one building to allow a
height limit of two stories with a maximum of 30 feet. He stated
the only unresolved issue is the left turn onto Napa Valley. The
City would not allow vehicles to turn left onto Napa Valley when
exiting the property and would require a traffic island to
prevent left turns. Upon question by Director Dailey, Mr. Mike
Batie, Director of the Department of Public Works, stated the
sight distance is marginal, but Engineering still recommends no
left turn at that location. There was a lengthy discussion
regarding sight distance and speed limits for traffic both north
and south on Napa Valley. Mr. Ernie Peters, traffic engineering
consultant, stated he had been asked by Dr. Cloud to look at the
situation. He noted that the nature of the business (dentist
office) will not generate a high traffic volume and the sight
distance is marginal but adequate for 30 MPH speed limits and is
not adequate for 35 MPH speed limits. He suggested that the City
reconsider the speed limit and post a restriction on this
driveway that would be consistent throughout this area. Board
Members agreed to defer the third reading of the Ordinance until
November 3, 1992, for Staff to review the speed limits on Napa
Valley. Therefore, the Ordinance was left on the calendar for
third reading on November 3, 1992.
Introduced next was a proposed Ordinance, with the title
being:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 32 OF THE LITTLE ROCK CODE OF
ORDINANCES, PROVIDING FOR AN OFFENSE FOR PARKING IN FRONT OF OR
WITHIN FIVE FEET OF A PUBLIC OR PRIVATE DRIVEWAY, DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES;
and the Ordinance was read the first time. The rules were
suspended and the Ordinance placed on second reading upon motion
by Director Lewellen, seconded by Director Dailey, and
unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being seven in
number and two - thirds or more of the members of the Board of
Directors - elect. Upon question by Director Shackelford, City
Attorney Tom Carpenter explained that this section was
inadvertently omitted when the Little Rock Code of Ordinances was
recodified in 1988. City Manager Tom Dalton explained that there
is a problem in areas around U.A.M.S. and U.A.L.R., etc. where
cars park on the street and park so close to driveways that
vehicles can't enter or exit the driveways. Director Shackelford
requested that the Ordinance be left on the calendar for second
reading at the next meeting. Therefore, the Ordinance remained
on the calendar for second reading on November 3, 1992.
The last presentation was Resolution No. 8,811, entitled:
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT BIDS
AND AWARD A CONTRACT FOR PAINTING VARIOUS PARK SITES FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION. (Adkins Painting Co., Inc. -
not to exceed $25,303.)
(See Item (e) in Consent Agenda.) Director Lewellen questioned
the award of the painting contract to Adkins Painting Company,
the third lowest bidder. Key West was disqualified for failure

to have a State Contractor's License and Diamond Enterprises was
disqualified for failure to sign the bid. The Adkins bid was
almost $3,000 more than Diamond Enterprises. Director Lewellen
asked the Board to make it possible for smaller businesses and
contractors to participate in City contracts and recommended re-
bidding the painting contract. Other Board Members were opposed
to changing the rules to make an exception for a human error, but
did suggest reviewing the rules for the bidding process. City
Manager Tom Dalton advised the Board Members that there was a
pre -bid conference before bids were submitted. He also stated he
understood Director Lewellen to raise the point of minority
businesses being involved in the award of contracts. Following
the lengthy discussion, Director Shackelford moved that the
Resolution be adopted. The motion was seconded by Director
Dailey and unanimously adopted by the Board Members present.
Therefore, the Resolution was adopted.
There being no further business to be presented, Mayor
Priest declared the meeting adjourned at 7:50 o'clock P.M. to
meet again in regular session on Tuesday, November 3, 1992, at
6:00 o'clock P.M.
