They are constituents of our Association. Please consider this as a formal request to ask the Planning Commission to consider amending the Land Use Plan for the Pine Mountain Neighborhood located at the intersection of Pinnacle Valley Road and Cantrell Road. I wish to ask that all the houses on Pine Mountain Road be included in this consideration. (The house at the end of the street owned by Jody and Sandra Stevens does not seem to be Included in the map the residents were provided with). The amendment we are seeking is to allow the current residents and homeowners to remain in their residences without allowing a change in the zoning from the R-2 zoning currently in effect. There is a valid bill of assurance for this neighborhood which states that the properties for this neighborhood should only be used for residential purposes (essentially R-2 zoning). As I understand it there is a neighborhood just north of the Little Rock Airport with a similar provision in place. The status of the Pine Mountain neighborhood is of great importance to all of us in the Pinnacle Valley Neighborhood Association. This neighborhood represents long time and highly respected members of our area. These neighbors and citizens should expect to live in their neighborhood without threat of a zoning change to the street especially since most of the residents are elderly. This special designation would allow these neighbors to again enjoy their neighborhood without the stress of a possible invasion of zoning changes or a developer trying to purchase their property for less than it is worth. I respectful submit this request with the full support of all the current resident property owners (James and Rebecca Cantrell; Paul and Margaret Habenicht; Juanita Jackson; Robert and Theresa long; C(yde and Joyce Mayhem; Jody and Sandra Stevens) and Fred Anderson and Tommy Anderson, property owners and landlord of #5 and # 11 Pine Mountain Road. Serving Under His Mercy, Nicholas Alsop President Pinnacle Valley Neighborhood Association 6 Waterford Drive Little Rock, AR 722237 501-590-1414 nicholas@alsop.com April 18th 2007, Little Rock Department of Planning and Development. I am writing this letter in response to the proposed land use amendment on Pine Mountain Road in the city limits of Little Rock. For several months now there have been continued efforts by one area land owner to change the neighborhood into a commercial zone. This change would result in a drastic loss of privacy and safety for this small area. The residents of this street are known to each other and have an excellent community relationship. We do not want the increased traffic and activity levels commercialization would bring. Please consider the desires of the residents before making any changes. Sincerely, Wendy Hodges 11 Pine Mountain Little Rock AR. 72223. n April 5, 2007 City of Little Rock Department of Planning and Development 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, Ar. 72201 Dear Ms. Gieringer: I received the letter from Mr. Malone dated March 29. 2007. I own the home at # 1 I Pine Mountain Road. I no longer live there because when I retired about 2 years ago I moved to Mena, Arkansas to be near my family. However, I lived at # 11 Pine Mountain for many, many years. My home is rented to a young couple with children. The homeowners in the neighborhood, including myself, have talked many times about the growth of West Little Rock and how the neighborhood we all love might be affected. We never thought that it would be a continual fight to keep it from being parceled out. I am aware of the recent challenges faced by my old neighborhood residents. If the Pine Mountain area land is wanted for financial reasons then the investor should say so instead of giving no consideration to the homeowners and present residents. I was living in the neighborhood when the surrounding land was developed. We were able to work with them in advance to protect our homes and maintain the integrity of the neighborhood. I believe most of the homeowners in the neighborhood have come to believe that the change in zoning is inevitable, including myself. I respectfully request that you vote to place the Pine Mountain Neighborhood under a special designation that would stop the destruction of this neighborhood lot by lot. Thank You For Your Time And Consideration, Fred Anderson April 9, 2007 Ms. Eve Gieringer Department of Planning and Development 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72201-1334 Dear Ms Gieringer: I am writing in response to the proposal for Pine Mountain Road which would require rezoning of the entire block vs. lot by lot. I think it is Single family, R-2. I understand that a neighborhood near the Little Rock National Airport has this type of zoning designation. T am totally supportive of this proposal. I own the property at # 5 Pine Mountain Road and actually grew up in that house. My Mom and Dad signed the original neighborhood covenant that is filed at the courthouse. The neighborhood has many retired people living on the street. They have saved and struggled to pay off their homes and have become very secure and feel safe in that established neighborhood. I think the security that this change would give them would be very welcome.. Thanks for your consideration. Respectfully, Thomas G. Anderson April 12, 2007 City of Little Rock Department of Planning and Development 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, Ar. 72201 Dear Ms Gieringer, I own and reside with my husband in the home at # 6 Pine Mountain Road (Lot Q. I have lived here since 1970. I raised two daughters as a single Mother in this home. I sent both of them to college and they are now working, have families of their own and contributing citizens of Arkansas. I spent 32 years working as a Registered Nurse in Little Rock. I struggled as a single parent to make mortgage payments and maintain my home. I tell you this so you will understand my financial and emotional attachment to my home and neighborhood. This home is the most important investment I have. My husband and I had planned to live here the rest of our retirement life. One investor has been purchasing homes in our neighborhood. We originally thought it was with the intent to use them for rental property. Twice because of this investor we have been before the Planning Commission in an effort to save our neighborhood. Maintenance of the investor's homes and property on our street has been a constant problem and still is. It is an emotional strain on all of us not knowing what will happen next with this lot or that lot on the street. I am begging for you to vote yes for our neighborhood to be covered by Special Designation. Please allow the Bill of Assurance to stand as written. When a future land use plan is presented that involves all the neighborhood (all homes along Pine Mountain Road) I believe that the home owners, including myself, will work with whoever we need to transition this land. Thank You, Becky CantrelA April 15, 2007 Department of Planning and Development 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, Ar. 72201-1334 Ms. Gieringer, I own the home at 47 Pine Mountain Road. My home is on Lot L and Lot M. I have lived here for three years. I moved my husband and myself to this home when our long- time home was bought for commercial reasons in West Little Rock. I find myself in the same situation again. My husband has end-stage Alzheimer. His care is twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. I have all the stress I can handle with his care. I bought in the Pine Mountain Neighborhood because many years ago we rented a home in this neighborhood and I loved the home at #7. I feel safe here and can call on my neighbors if I need. Any investor should consider the people who live here and how their life is affected by their intentions. When land is parceled lot by lot and responsibility for the property/homes is neglected then the city suffers as well as prideful homeowners. Please vote for this neighborhood remain single-family residence by Special Designation.

I further believe that owner/occupant of the properties on Pine Mtn. Rd. should' be given prefference in the disignation of this area. Paul & Margaret Habenic 4e-f/IV4- Owner/ Occupant Sandra Burkhart Stevens 18 Pine Mountain Road Little Rock, Ar 72223 April 17, 2007 Mr. Walter Malone, AICP Planning Manager City of Little Rock Department of Planning and Development 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72201 cc; Eve Gieringer Dear Mr. Malone: This letter is in response to yours of March 29, 2007 referencing a land use plan amendment for the Pine Mountain Subdivision. We purchased our home subject to the Bill of Assurance for this subdivision. We did not ask the City to classify our subdivision as "Transition on the Future Land Use Plan". I have appeared before the Planning Commission on several occasions to ask that the City of Little Rock uphold our Bill of Assurance that both restricts our land use as single family homes and has the purpose of protecting our subdivision. Each of the owners, when purchasing their homes, knew and relied upon and embraced the existing Bill of Assurance for this subdivision. Those who purchase lots in this subdivision do so with the clear knowledge that it is a residential subdivision with a Bill of Assurance that restricts use. Until such time as some one person or entity owns all of the lots in this subdivision, we ask that our rights as residential property owners be respected and that the Bill of Assurance prevail. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide my comments. Sincerely, S ndra Burkhart Stevens RPR 17 2007 3:34PM HP LASERJET 3200 April 17, 2007 Dear Members of the Little Rock Planning Commission: Please accept this letter as our vote of support for the all or nothing commercialization of Pine Mountain Road. We are firmly join with the other residents of pine Mountain Road to support the Planning Commission's proposal of requiring development of the entire area. Not piece meal development of single lots.
