Introduced next was Ordinance No. 16,295, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 15,746 AND MODIFYING
SECTION TWO 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, October 6, 1992, ..and October
20, 1992 Board of Directors Meetings.) Board members continued
discussion of the left turn from the property onto Napa Valley.
Mr. Ernie Peters, Traffic Engineering Consultant, was present to
answer questions by Board Members regarding the traffic left turn
issue. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of the Department of
Neighborhoods and Planning, explained that the Ordinance concerns
the zoning issues only and does not deal with the left turn
issue. When the applicant applies for a building permit, the
Engineering Department will not allow the left turn onto Napa
Valley. Mr. Mike Batie, Public Works Director, confirmed that
Staff had again reviewed the speed limits and sight distance
requirements and still recommends no left turn at that location.
City Manager Tom Dalton explained that the Planning Commission
approval was with the understanding of no left turn onto Napa
Valley, so the recommendation before the Board of Directors is
for the height variance with an understanding of no left turn.
If the Board chooses to change that, then it would become a part
of the record of the Board of Directors meeting as a direction to
staff. City Attorney Tom Carpenter advised that the Planning
Commission has no authority to amend traffic ordinances.
Director Dailey moved that a left turn be allowed. The motion
died for lack of a second. The Ordinance was then read the third
and last time, having been read the first and second times on
September 15, 1992 and October 6, 1992, respectively. An Aye and
No Vote was taken on the question Shall the Ordinance Pass, which
resulted as herein recorded: Ayes - Directors Lewellen and
Dailey, Mayor Priest, Directors Roy and Hollingsworth - total 5;
Noes - None; Absent - Directors Shackelford and Catlett - total
2. Whereupon, the Ordinance was declared PASSED.
Introduced next was a proposed Ordinance, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 30 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES
OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS PROVIDING FOR A WAIVER OF
SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 65TH STREET CENTER AT 5219 WEST
65TH STREET.
Mr. Don Collie, President of Metro Builders and contractor of
record for the fire restoration of the 65th Street Center, asked
the Board of Directors to grant the sidewalk waiver, stating it
would be very difficult to put in a handicapped sidewalk as
required, due to the terrain at that location. There is a
sidewalk across the street on the east side of Lancaster that
extends beyond the property line of the 65th Street Center, which
should suffice for handicapped sidewalk since it only has to be
on one side of the street. It was his understanding that the
City plans to widen Lancaster Road and build a new handicapped
sidewalk on the east side going down to the school. Mr. Mike
Batie, Director of Public Works, stated that Lancaster Road would
be widened as part of a Bond Project within the next two years.
The City will widen Lancaster Road beginning at the south end of
the property and will be responsible for the sidewalk
construction once the contract is signed. The Boundary Street
Improvement Ordinance states that the owner shall build the
sidewalk until the City signs the contract for sidewalk
construction. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the
City's plans for widening Lancaster Road which would include
sidewalk construction. Following the lengthy discussion, Board
Members and Staff agreed that the owner could make a payment in

by Director Lewellen, seconded by Director Roy, that the rules be
