BACKGROUND
vacant land either side of the Edswood Road intersection
with Kanis Road. A commercial business is located on the
back of the eastern most parcel of the C-3 land.
The applicant, in their request letter, stated a desire to
develop the land commercially. The Pulaski County Judge
signed the Annexation Order on March 2, 2020.
Approximately 104 linear feet of Kanis Road would be
included in this annexation. Kanis Road is a county road.
It has been partially improved, with the north side fully
improved with curb and gutter. The south side of Kanis
Road is open ditch with a soft grass shoulder. As part of
the development of the land the developer will have to
extend water and waste water services from the existing
service lines to any new development.
The closest fire station (Station 21) is located at 17000
Chenal Valley Drive. From this station via existing streets
is approximately 1.6 miles to the annexation area. The Little
Rock Police Department responded they have no concerns
or issues with this annexation.
