FISCAL IMPACT None at this RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval. The Planning Commission recommended approval at the hearing of March 14, 2019. BACKGROUND The area has been contiguous to the City since July 1997. The back (southern portion) is wooded and the northern portion is partially cleared. There is an almost 30 -foot increase in elevation from Highway 10 (Cantrell Road) to the south boundary of the area. The land is currently zoned R-2, Single Family District with the northern portion along Highway 10 shown for either Medium Density Residential (west) or Suburban Office (east) on the City's Future Land Use Plan. The southern portion of the annexation area was included in a single-family preliminary plat just over a year ago. To the south and southwest of the annexation area is this developing single - family subdivision (Caurel). To the southeast is the developed Bronte single-family subdivision. To the west is a Planned Office District for the campus of Joe T Robinson High and Middle Schools. North of the annexation area, across Cantrell Road, is land zoned R-2, Single Family, was once the site of `Camp Grundy'. To the east is a C-1, Neighborhood Commercial zoned tract and several R-2, Single Family tracts outside the City Limits. There is just short of 1000 linear feet of Highway 10 that will become part of the City of Little Rock with this annexation. This reduces the 'gap' of Highway 10 not in the City to between 600 and 700 linear feet. There are two homes, a business /residence and a quasi - public use that will remain outside of the City after this annexation. Just less than 3 acres will remain outside the side the City after the annexation. With any future `improvements' to the road, the City will become responsible for the `local match' funding. Currently the land is undeveloped and will not have any solid waste demands. The Public Works Department has indicated they have no issues or concerns with this annexation request. There is a 16-in and a 12-in water main in the right of way for Highway 10 (Cantrell Road. There is also a 12-in water main in the right of way for Northfield Drive to the south. There is a 10-inch sewer main just south of the annexation area within the ownership of the applicant. Any extension of water or wastewater lines from the existing service mains to serve this property will be at the cost of the developer /property owner. The closest fire station is located at 17000 Chenal Valley Drive to the southeast of the area. From this station via existing streets is approximately 4 miles to the annexation area. The Little Rock Police Department has indicated they have no issues or concerns with the proposed annexation. The police have patrol responsibility of developments both east and west of the annexation area. There are currently no structures on the land required service.
