RE: Andover Square Phase IV, Short Form PUD
Case File No. Z -2409-C
P1 -ease consider this letter as the statement of the Andover
Square Community Association, which is the administrator of
the Phases I, II and III of Andover Square Horizontal
Property Regime, hereinafter, Andover HPR. The Board of
Directors as representatives of the individual owners has
directed that a response be sent on its behalf to the City
Planning Commission to the current application, referenced
above, to amend the "PRD" zoning previously granted to_ the
project developer, Bailey Corporation.
The developer has for several months been discussing its
desire to alter the current phased development program with
the Andover HPR Board and property owners. Initially several
alternatives were mentioned, however, all involved the use of
single family type dwellings for the remaining portion of the
project instead of townhouse units. A final plan has only
recently been submitted to the Andover HPR detailing both the
actual size and location of the buildings and the actual
legal relationship between the two types of living units.
The Board of Andover HPR met and discussed the then current
plan approximately one week prior to the filing of that plan
with Planning Commission. The Board ultimately voted to
oppose the current proposed changes to Andover Square.
The initial PUD plan for the project as approved in 1979,
by the Planning Commission, called for the construction of an
all condominium development. The features of this original
PUD were a harmonious architectural design and building
placement on the project site. The broad outline of the
development was that the buildings would be arranged around
the pool -clubhouse common areas. The developer proposed in
1982 to amend its initial plan by changing the placement of
buildings on the site. The effect of this change, in the
opinion of the owners at that time, was to change some of the
more desirable features of the project particularly the
relationship of the buildings from an aesthetic and privacy
standpoint. [also addressed were parking, drainage, common
Andover Square HPR
Z -2409-C
March 22, 1988
elements usage and other matters] The initial arrangement in
1979 resulted in few of the buildings actually facing or
backing up directly to nearby buildings. As approved in 1982
the developer was to provide among other things an interior-.
buffer strip in front of Phase II, trellis and landscapiR& in
the in ae --ro-r buffer "oini"izg the -cam se to enhance
`rivac _ thee aftr f . meas, andraPresented t h a ---tom n� et
effect of the changes would resin in parking spaces v -f-2:6-"
per unit. Upon approval by this Commission, the developer
then built phases II and III.
As Phases II and III three were actually constructed; Ap",
parking has become a problem. Currently there are no visitor.{-°
parking spaces in the Phase II and III area at all. There
are only 36 'visitor' spaces in the entire project, and sixif.
of these are in front of the clubhouse. Whatever action the ~:
Planning Commission takes this problem must be addressed.
The Board in addition has a number of other equally strong
concerns in its rejection of the current changes in the
project. They are as follows:
1. Parking. As noted above, the project, particularly
phases II and III, do not have the amount of parking promised
at sale and to this Commission. Further the parking that is
present is unevenly spread in the development. The ratio is
only 2.53 per unit [67x2=134+36=167 / 67=2.53], the short
fall is exagreated by the uneven placement, in that there are
no visitor spaces in the entire Phase II d�-IL area.
Further, The size parking areas in Phase II and III is a
matter of concern. Under Zoning Section 8-101 (j), Parking
Design, page 134-135, as referenced in the PUD section,
Zoning Section 9-101 (J) Development Standards, (6) Parking
Standards, Page 161. A right Parking area requires
maneuvering area from the curb of 40 feet. The parking area
in front of Phase II, as it exists has less than 40 feet,
approximately 34 feet from curb to curb. The new proposed
design will do nothing to help this situation.
2. Aesthetic. All owners were told that the project would-
be for townhouse condominiums and would not be a mixed single
family free standing subdivision and condominiums. This will
destroy the harmonious architectural and layout of the
project, already eroded by the 1982 changes.
3. Control. Since the Phase IV construction will be`
individually owned and maintained units there is no adequate
way that the Association can ensure that adequate exterior
maintenance standards will be adhered to by the
Andover Square HPR
Z -2409-C
March 22, 1988
owners in the subdivision now proposed.
4. Revenue. The developer states that the use of six units
as proposed now instead of 13 townhouses as planned will
place less stress on the common elements. However, this
glosses Gv.er_-.he. e££prr r� _.the Change on Andov
revenues. The current plan proposes a $300.00 per unit per
year assessment for a total of $1,800.00 dollars for use in
maintaining the common areas `each year. The thirteen units
proposed in the 1982 plan would produce approximately
$14,040.00 per year for use in maintenance of the units and
common elements. Further, the proposed Bill of Assurance
would allow increases for the ngle family,hssMe owners only
to_ tib increased costs for the mailhouse, pool and
I.cIu25` Ouse. This will require that Phases I, XI, and. III
main"tl�rltn- separate records of costs regardless of which
association has the 'burden of proving' the extent of those
costs.
5. Relationship. Community relationships are difficult to
maintain under the best of circumstances. The current
association has an advantage in this because all of the
owners have certain interests in common in maintaining a
pleasant living'environment and supporting property values.
However, placing two such different types of housing types in
close proximity, particularly when they will share in some
common elements may well lead to increased friction. The PUD
objective of compatibility between the proposed use and the
existing surrounding use is not enhanced by the new
proposal.
6. Interior Buffer. The plan as approved in 1982
contemplated that an interior buffer, as shown on the
approved 1982 platt, would be maintained with a width of not
less than 50 feet as drawn, and having several areas of more
tY57--6 feet in width. The current plan would erode this
buffer to less than 40 feet wide at any point and less width
for most of its length. This will severly restrict its
effect as a buffer.
In arriving at its position the Andover HPR Board polled
its membership for their feeling towards the decision to
oppose the current changes. Support was over whelming for
the Board. Of those who responded at this time, approximately
30, there was only one who objected to the Board's position
all others supported the Board. This is the second time the
developer has sought to change the project. The owners
objected to the last proposal before this Commission, but
Andover Square HPR
Z -2409—C
March 22, 1988
withdrew that objection based upon assurances that the rest
of the project would proceed as approved by this commission
in 1982. The project developer should honor the commitments
made to the phases I owners, its buyers of Phases II and III,
and this Commission. Concessions were made by both sides,
owners and developer, in 1982. The property owners should not
be required to constantly renegotiate to maintain the
integrity of the project.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Little Rock Planning Commission
FROM: Bailey Corporation
DATE: March 14, 1988
RE: Andover Square, Phase IV, Short Form PUD
Enclosed is preliminary plat of the proposed develop-
ment and a draft of a bill of assurance, as well as the
required applications and fees. Also enclosed is an elevation
showing a typical unit in the development.
The proposal is for six single family detached
residences, to be constructed by the applicant as the final
phase of the Andover Square development, on the east side of
that development. Each lot contains over 7,920 square feet,
although the plan contemplates that four of the six lots would
have 55 -foot widths instead of 60 feet.
The rationale is to provide transitional uses between
townhouse condominiums and detached houses on standard size
lots.
Each lot would be separately owned, and each owner
would receive an undivided one-sixth interest in the common
area and the common drive, which would be maintained as a
private drive by the owners.
Each unit would contain from 1,700 to 2,200 square
feet, heated and cooled. Each would have a two -car garage,
plus seven additional spaces are provided, for a total of 19,
or slightly more than three per unit. Lot coverage by the
basic structure is less than 20%.
MITCHELL, WILLIAMS, SELIG & TUCKER

Page Two
The tract being platted is 1.59 acres, but has to be
considered in relation to the entire development. The net
density is slightly less than four single family detached
units per acre.
This development's drive/parking is separated from
that of the adjoining condominium project by a landscaped
strip, and from the adjoining property to the east by a
50 -foot buffer strip, to be maintained in its natural wooded
state as open space.
The access point is off of Andover Court, which also
serves the condominium project. Owners may have use of that
project's mail shed, swimming pool and party house, and will
be assessed for that use.
Owners will become members of an unincorporated
property owners' association (in the manner of the council of
co-owners of a condominium regime). This association will
maintain the drive and common areas, and serve as the liaison
with the neighboring condominium association.
The developer anticipates completion of development
and construction within 18 months of final approval.

Dear Gary:
The applicant Bailey Corporation does not wish to
send its formal notices until the residents of the existing
Andover Square condominium development have had the oppor-

will not meet until next week.
Hence, we respectfully request that the application
not be considered by the subdivision committee or the Planning

10 percent of the average width of the lot, provided such side
yard need not exceed 8 feet in width; and accessory structures
related to residential use shall be located at least 60 feet
from the front property line, and may be placed no less than 5
feet from the side lot line.
3. EASEMENTS. (a) No buildings, fences,
incinerators, paved driveways, or any other permanent
structure or improvement of any kind, whether herein
specifically enumerated or not, shall be built or maintained
within the area of any of the easements shown on the plat, and
in the event any such obstruction is placed thereon in
violation of this restriction and reservation, no utility
and/or public agent will be liable for destruction of same in
constructing and maintaining its facilities located within the
area of said easement.
(b) There are shown on the plat driveways lying
between Lots A and B, Lots C and D, and Lots E and F, which in
each instance provide access to garages and the rear of the
lots. Each buyer shall take title to its lot subject to an
easement in favor of the abutting owner on the driveway side
and shall receive the same such rights as a part of its lot
-3-
ownership, to the end that these driveways shall serve as
reciprocal access easements benefitting these abutting
owners. These easements shall not be obstructed so as to
interfere with these uses.
4. COMMON AREAS: (a) There is shown on the plat a
"common drive," which is a private driveway serving all of the
lots, their owners, and the guests, invitees and licensees of
the owners, including fire and other emergency vehicles. Each
buyer shall receive an undivided one-sixth (1/6th) interest in
this common drive with its lot ownership, which may not be
separated therefrom, subject to reciprocal rights of all lot
owners to use this drive for ingress, egress and (in the area
marked 117 cars" only) parking. The drive shall remain
unobstructed at all times, except for temporary parking of
moving vans and service vehicles.
(b) There is likewise shown on the plat a "common
area," as to which each buyer shall also receive an undivided
one-sixth (1/6th) interest, inseparable from its lot
ownership, which area may be landscaped by the lot owners and
used for their common enjoyment.
(c) At the rear of each lot is shown an area
designated 1150' buffer," which shall be held and maintained in
accordance with the 110-S" zoning category of the City of
Little Rock currently in effect. In particular, owners may
-4-
remove undergrowth, but may not remove trees, build structures
or store materials or vehicles in this area. However, the
Andover IV Association (as described in paragraph 11 hereof)
may establish a walking or jogging path in this area, for the
use and benefit of all lot owners.
5. CURBS AND GUTTERS. No obstruction shall be
placed in the street or gutter. Curbs shall be broken at
driveways, and driveway aprons shall not extend past the face
of the curb.
6. DURATION. These covenants and restrictions are
to run with the land and shall be binding on all parties and
all persons claiming under them for a period of 30 years from
the date these covenants and restrictions are recorded, after
which time said covenants and restrictions shall be automati-
cally extended for successive periods of 10 years, unless an
instrument signed by a majority of the then owners of the lots
has been recorded, agreeing to change said covenants and
restrictions in whole or in part.
7. AMENDMENTS. These covenants and restrictions
shall not be amended, cancelled or supplemented unless an
instrument signed by at least eighty percent (80%) of the
owners of the aforesaid lots is placed on record agreeing to
change the covenants and restrictions in whole or in part, and
-5-
any change must be approved by the Little Rock Planning
Commission.
8. ENFORCEMENT. In the event of any attempt to
violate any of the covenants or restrictions herein, before
the expiration date hereof, it shall be lawful for any person
or persons owning a lot or lots in said addition to prosecute
any proceedings at law or in equity against the person or
persons violating or attempting to violate any such covenant
or restriction, and either to prevent him or them from so
doing or to recover damages or other dues for such violation.
9. SEVERABILITY. The invalidation of any one of
these covenants or restrictions by judgment or court order
shall in no wise affect any of the other provisions, which
shall remain in full force and effect.
The considerations set forth in items one through
nine are hereby approved by the City of Little Rock Planning
Commission. Any additional requirements, restrictions or
statements are entered without review or action by the
Planning Commission, and shall not be considered part of the
Little Rock Planning Commission's requirements for plat
approval.
10. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. Each lot shall be held
and maintained by its owner in a manner that does not
unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment of their property by
a
other lot owners, to which end owners shall not (a) release
from their own lots any loud noises, noxious fumes, bright
lights, or any other similar activities or substances; (b)
place, maintain or permit on their lot any disabled vehicles,
shacks or other outbuildings incompatible with the construc-
tion of their dwelling, trash, brush piles, overgrown weeds,
construction materials or similar objects or materials other
than temporarily in the course of clean-up or maintenance; (c)
maintain animals other than household pets, and other than in
a clean and sightly manner; (d) do, maintain or permit any
activity, occurrence or objects which a normal person would
reasonably find offensive or dangerous. Boats and trailers
and recreational vehicles shall be parked on driveways behind
a dwelling only. No mobile home shall be placed on a lot for
any reason.
11. OWNERS ASSOCIATION. (a) By virtue of lot
ownership, each owner shall become a member of an unincor-
porated association, to be known as "The Andover IV Associa-
tion," which shall have the power and responsibility to
maintain the common drive, the driveways and the common area
shown on the plat, and to levy uniform assessments against the
lots for such purposes, in advance or otherwise, in accordance
with procedures established by the Association. Grantor shall
contribute to the Association a sum, not to exceed $500 for
-7-
each lot, at the closing of the initial sale of each lot, to
establish such a maintenance fund. The Association may
contract with third parties for such maintenance, which may
include the Regime described in paragraph 12, or entities
hired by the Regime.
(b) Meetings of the Association shall be called and
conducted by a presiding owner, which position shall be
rotated among the lot owners annually on a calendar -year
basis, beginning with Lot A in 1988. All decisions of the
Association shall be by majority vote (one vote per lot) of
all lots, with ties to be broken by a seventh vote to be cast
by the presiding owner only in such instances and not other-
wise. --
12. RECREATIONAL FACILITIES. (a) Each owner of a
lot shall take title subject to the right of Andover Square
Horizontal Property Regime, an Arkansas nonprofit corporation,
or its successor in interest, ("Regime") to levy an annual
assessment against that lot, payable within thirty days of
receipt of that assessment, but in no event prior to
February 15 of each year for that calendar year.
(b) The first such assessment shall be levied in the
calendar year following the year in which a certificate of
occupancy is issued for a single-family dwelling on the lot in
question, subject to subparagraph (h) hereof. In addition to
-8-
this annual assessment, the Grantor shall pay an initial
assessment within thirty (30) days of the sale of an improved
lot, which initial assessment it shall be the Grantor's
responsibility to pay over to the Regime.
(c) In return for such annual assessment, the
residents of the lot shall have the rights of access and use
with reference to the swimming pool and clubhouse and mail
shed located within the Andover Square condominium development
managed by Regime, and shall be entitled to garbage and trash
pick-up services, on the same terms and conditions as resi-
dents of that development; provided, however, that these
residents of the subdivision shall have no voting rights and
shall in no other way be considered as co-owners within the
development managed by the Regime.
(d) The annual assessment shall be the same for each
lot and the first such assessment for each lot shall be
established as set forth in subparagraph (h) hereof. There-
after, these assessments may be raised by the Regime if the
portion of the average annual assessment paid by residents of
the development managed by the Regime and attributable to
maintenance of the three facilities described herein and
provision of the service described herein has increased, using
the first assessment year as a base year for both. The
increase in the subdivision residents' assessments shall be
-9-
limited to the same percentage increase as that portion of the
development residents' assessments so attributable, or the
percentage increase in the total average assessment, whichever
is lower. The calculations of the Regime in this regard shall
be presumed to be correct, unless demonstrated to be otherwise
by the Association.
(e) These assessments shall be payable so long as
these facilities and service are provided by the Regime, and
may not be avoided by non-use of the facilities or service.
Any such assessments shall be subject to the same provisions
granting rights and powers to the Regime to manage the
facilities and service as are contained in the condominium
documents for the development managed by Regime, as amended
from time to time, including but not limited to those
providing for imposition of a lien, notice, penalties, and
collection of costs.
(f) These covenants may not be amended to alter the
method of assessment or the services and facilities made
available hereby without the consent of the Regime, except
that, by unanimous vote of the lot owners, this paragraph 12
may be stricken completely, but without refund or forgiveness
of assessments then paid or payable.
(g) Owners of lots shall also take subject the right
of the Regime to approve plans for construction or reconstruc-
-10-
tion of dwellings within the subdivision prior to their con-
struction or reconstruction and plans for the landscaping of
the common area. Such approval shall be given within thirty
(30) days of submission of plans to the Regime if the proposed
construction or reconstruction or landscaping is generally
harmonious in design and quality of materials with structures
within the condominium development. Failure to respond within
such period shall constitute approval.
(h) The rights, duties and obligations of the
owners, the Regime, the Association and grantor shall take
effect only upon the execution and recordation of an
instrument executed by the Regime and grantor (and, after the
sale of at least four lots, the Association) establishing (i)
the first year for assessments, (ii) the initial assessment,
(iii) the first annual assessment, and (iv) the consent of the
signatories to the terms of this paragraph, as completed by
that instrument.
