UBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (JUNE 27, 1996)
Mr. Frank Riggins was present for the application. He offered
comments in support of the application. Planning and Public
Works staff presented a lengthy list of design issues that
perhaps the owner has not thought through. Some of these were
noted as fire and safety issues and needed additional work.
The Committee questioned Mr. Riggins about time and the
possibility of deferral. After discussion of all the issues, the
Committee suggested placement on Consent for deferral and bring
it back next month.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 18, 1996)
The Chairman asked that Staff present this item for discussion.
The staff offered its recommendation which was this proposal be
placed on the Consent Agenda for deferral until August 29, 1996
meeting. Staff stated the reason for the deferral was that there
were a sufficient number of problems at the Subdivision Committee
level which precluded the completion of a review in time for the
Planning Commission's hearing on this case. The Subdivision
Committee directed that this item be placed on the Consent Agenda
for deferral.
Without further discussion, the item was placed on the floor for
a motion. A motion was made to add this item to the Consent
Agenda for deferral until August 29, 1996 meeting. The motion
was seconded and passed by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays, 3 absent and
1 open position.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (AUGUST 8, 1996)
Mr. Frank Riggins was present to represent the applicant.
Planning Staff reviewed with the engineer the deficiency list
prepared at the June 27, 1996 Subdivision Committee meeting. Mr.
Riggins unveiled an updated layout which answered the Fire
Department turnaround concerns. However, many of the questions
from staff remain unanswered. Mr. Riggins agreed to submit a
revised plan.
The item is to forwarded to the full Commission provided that a
revised plan is submitted to staff no later than 5:00 p.m..
Thursday, August 15, 1996.

ITEM Nd.: A [Cont.] FILE NO.: Z -5838-A
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(AUGUST 29, 1996)
The staff reported that this item required deferral to
September 12 in order to permit sufficient time for review of the
area land use plan. The Commission accepted the staff report and
by unanimous vote placed this matter on the Consent deferred
list. A motion for deferral was approved by vote of 8 ayes,
0 nays, 2 absent and 1 open position.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(SEPTEMBER 12, 1996)
Larry Jones summarized the staff report. He indicated that the
proposal was deferred in order to allow the Planning Division to
review the Land Use Plan for that area of Kanis Road.
Tony Bozynski indicated that they had reviewed that portion of
the Ellis Mountain District Plan adjacent to the subject
property. There will be a study of this area which will take 6-8
months to complete. At this time, staff feels that there was no
justification to change the plan from Single Family (R-2) to
Commercial.
Mr. Frank Riggins, project engineer, presented the project to the
Planning Commission. Mr. Riggins stated that a Mini and RV
Storage was a good use for this property. Ms. B.J. White,
applicant, answered several questions from Commissioner Putnam.
Ms. white stated that there was great demand for RV and boat
storage in Little Rock. The commissioners discussed amongst
themselves the various aspects of the proposal and the Land Use
Plan.
Commissioner Hawn called the question on the proposed
of the existing Detection Systems POD. The Commission
request by a vote of 2 ayes, 8 nays, and 1 absent.
