SYNOPSIS The annexation of some 104 acres plus or minus along the
south side of Pride Valley Road, west of Zanzibar Street
(16000 -17000 Blocks of Pride Valley Road) to the City of
Little Rock. There are five house sites and a mobile home
park of a dozen units. Much of the acreage is undeveloped
with approximately 48 acres proposed for a 139 unit
single - family subdivision.
FISCAL IMPACT None
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval. By a vote of 10 for, 0 against,
and 1 absent the Planning Commission recommend the
annexation at their December 14, 2017 hearing.
BACKGROUND The area requesting annexation has a small mobile home
park of approximately a dozen units (just under 6 acres),
five (5) single - family homes on larger tracts (generally
between 0.7 and 1.8 acres in size) and six (6) undeveloped
generally wooded tracts (0.8 to 70 acres in size). The
applicant has proposed a 139 lot single - family
development using the Planned Development — Residential
process for just under fifty (5 0) acres in the western
portion of the annexation area. Except for this 60 foot
wide right -of -way of Pride Valley Road, all other portions
of the annexation are adjacent to areas that will remain
outside of the corporate limits for the City and are all
zoned R -2 Single Family.
BACKGROUND
CONTINUED
The head waters of Brodie Creek flows southeasterly
through the southern portion of the annexation area. Brodie
Creek flows exists the annexation area at an elevation of
456 feet along the western annexation line. There are five
(5) hill tops within the annexation area ranging from a high
of 570 feet to 486 feet.
The County review has found that the area meets all the
requirements for annexation — contiguous, petitioners
represent majority of the land, the land will be used for an
urban purpose, and the documents filed are correct and
accurate. The Pulaski County Judge in his Annexation
Order has included all public streets and right -of -way
abutting the annexation area.
The City will assume maintenance responsibility for the
constructed portions of both Tele Road and Layman Lane
and 1327 additional linear feet of Pride Valley Road, all
are substandard based on the City's Master Street Plan.
Initially five (5) homes would require city services. Over
time as the proposed single - family subdivision is
developed an additional 169 homes will be added for
service. There will be remaining land for single - family
development available after the Copper Run Subdivision is
fully developed resulting in additional demand.
There is a 20 inch water main along Pride Valley Road
from which any new development would extend service at
the cost of the developer. There is no waste water line in
the area. The natural service line is an 18 -inch line along
Brodie Creek which currently stops around 4000 feet from
the annexation area. Any extension of this line would be at
the cost and efforts of the developer not the utility.
The closest fire station (Station 20) is located at 300 Oak
Meadow Drive, approximately 2.2 miles via existing
streets to the area. The Police Department reported no
concerns or issues with the annexation. After this
annexation, city police would have to patrol Layman Lane
and an additional 1327 feet of Pride Valley Road. The
City will also be responsible for responding to any
incidents at the five (5) homes and small mobile home park
current within the area.
The property owner at 16625 Pride Valley Road provided a
written request not to be annexed, dated October 8, 2017.
Their property is east of Layman Lane on the south side of
Pride Valley Road within the area for annexation.
