Re: 13600 Vimy Ridge Road — Land Use Plan Amendment — Residential to
Commercial
I was an active participant in the Chicot West/1-30 South Neighborhood
Action Plan. I opposed the Land Use Plan Amendment for 13600 Vimy
Ridge Road from Low Tensity Residential to Commercial. The Land Use
Amendment is inconsistent with the Chicot West/1-30 South Neighborhood
Action Plan.
The plan calls for commercial development along the nodes of South Loop and
neighborhood friendly development at other crossroads. The Land Use Plan
Amendment before you today seems to be a premature in that it provides the
basis for making commercial zoning allowable for the property without a
publicly reviewed development plan.
Long time residents of the area are being unduly impacted by current
commercial development and clearing without proper permits. I request the
Land Use Amendment before you be denied..
I also request that the developer be required to restore proper buffers to
residential property on two sides of the property he has already cleared.
Not only did this applicant clear and re -grade the property in this application
without a proper grading permit, but he has also failed to leave the buffers
required in the recent rezoning on his property at 13624 Vimy Ridge,
Sincerely,
No Floyd

Re: 13600 Vimy Ridge Road — Land Use Plan Amendment -- Residential to
Commercial
As President of Southwest Little Rock United for Progress, I oppose the
Land Use Plan Amendment for 13600 Vimy Ridge Road from Low
Density Residential to Commercial.
The long-range plan for the area was outlined in the Chicot West/I-30 South
Neighborhood Action Plan. The plan calls for more intense commercial nodes
at the intersections of collector and larger streets with South Loop. The
property location before you today is a reasonable location for neighborhood
commercial development. Currently approximately 500 new homes have been
built across the street in Saline County and possibly 500 more homes at build
out of the development. I could support neighborhood friendly development,
such as a grocery store, dry cleaners, video rental, and perhaps a restaurant.
I am opposed a change in the Land Use Plan from Residential to Commercial
without specific plans. The developer has already cleared the property
without securing a grading permit. The residents of the area need to be
included in a discussion of development plans for the property.
The residential property that adjoins the project needs buffering;
immediately.
Sincerely,
qafnet,
Berry

Re: Conditional Use Permit -12800 County Line Road.
I was an active participant in the Chicot West/I-30 South Neighborhood
Action Plan.. I opposed the Land Use Plan Amendment for 12800
County Line Road from Single Family to Commercial. The Land Use
Amendment is inconsistent with the Chicot West/I-30 South Nei hborhood
Action. Plan.
The plan calls for more intense commercial nodes at intersections along the
South Loop, and more neighborhood -friendly development at other crossroads
in our area. The Land Use Plan Amendment before you today seems to be a
premature step toward gaining commercial zoning for the property without a
publicly reviewed development plan.
Residents of the Irish Spring Estates would be unduly impacted by this
commercial development. I request the Land Use Amendment before you be
denied. I also request that the developer be required to maintain an
undisturbed buffer toward the residential property, should any higher
intensity zoning or Conditional Use Permit be granted.
Sincerely,

Re. 12800 County Line Road — Land Use Plan Amendment — Residential
to Commercial
As President of Southwest Little Rock United for Progress, I oppose the
Land Use Plan: Amendment for 12800 County Line Road from Single
Family Residential to Commercial, The residents of Irish Spring Estates are
in the beginning stages of forming a neighborhood association, and
Southwest Little Rock United for Progress would like to encourage their
effort. We also would like to support Irish Spring in their fight for their
neighborhood. This neighborhood is feeling the effects of uncontrolled growth
in Saline County at their doorstep.
The long-range plan for the area was outlined in the Clikot Westl1-30 South
N6g;hborhood Action Plan. The plan calls for more intense commercial nodes
at the intersections of collector and larger streets with South Loop. A day
care center could be built to resemble a residence and could possibly be
approved with a Conditional Use Permit, retaining the residential zoning for
the property.
I request that in the event of any escalation of zoning the residential
property that adjoins the project be afforded an undisturbed buffer.
Sincerely,
anet Berry

Southwest Little Rock United for Progress
