RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval. By a vote of 11 for, 0 against,

BACKGROUND The area requesting annexation currently has a home on it,
is partly wooded and includes a portion of the
floodway /floodplain of Rock Creek. The applicant has
proposed a 34 lot single - family development using the
Planned Development — Residential process. The Planned
Development includes a large tract along the north for the
floodplain/floodway of Rock Creek.
To the west is an office complex within the current city
limits with a large amount of office zoned land still
wooded and undeveloped. To the east are two single -
family homes
BACKGROUND

which will continue to be outside the corporate limits of
Little Rock. Beyond that is a partially developed
`professional office' development within the City limits.
To the south is a large tract owned by one family who wish
the property to be left in its current condition. To the east
of this property is a single - family subdivision and
elementary school within the limits of Little Rock. To the
west, south of Pride Valley Road are three - tracts with
single - family homes outside the limits of Little Rock.
The floodplain/floodway of Rock Creek is within the
annexation area, covering the northern portion of the area
requesting annexation. This portion is proposed for open
space in the approved Planned Development for the site.
The site is in three ownerships (within the same family)
currently, but is proposed as a single subdivision. Thirty -
four (34) homes are proposed along a cul -de -sac from
Pride Valley Road. This new subdivision will change the
existing topography and tree cover on this site. There is an
existing wastewater line along Rock Creek and water line
along Pride Valley Road. As part of the development the
developer will have to extend these services.
The City's annexation ordinance will be in conformance
with the Pulaski County Judge's Order and include
adjacent street rights -of -way into the City of Little Rock.
This would add approximately 335 feet of Pride Valley
Road to the City.
The closest fire station (Station 20) is located at 300 Oak
Meadow Drive. From this station via existing streets is
approximately 1.7 miles to the annexation area. Station
19, located at 17000 Chenal Valley Drive, is the next
closest station with runs of approximately 2.4 miles to the
annexation area. With land both east and west of the
annexation area within the City limits; current police
patrols would already naturally pass this property. The
Little Rock Police have reported they have no concerns or
issues with that request.
