Y� YO B) I was an active participant in the Chicot West/1-30 South Neighborhood Action Plan. 13624 Vimy Ridge Road is within that Plan's geographic area. The Conditional Use Permit to allow a C-3 commercial use at that C-1 zoned location is essentially consistent with the Action Plan's recommended land use plan which anticipates commercial development at arterial traffic nodes. I am delighted to see another new business is locating in the southwest area of Little Rock; but I am concerned with the applied -for waivers. I do not feel the site warrants decreased buffers on the north and west sides of the property. The applicant notes he owns a large parcel of land mounding the site, and has additional plans for commercial development in the area. if that is the case, then the additional buffer space should not be difficult to obtain; plus I probably will oppose additional commercial development to the west on County Line Road. Traveling west along County Line Road from this site one finds several nice "estate" sized lots and homes, and commercial development should not be allowed to encroach on that residential area. There is room for limited development to the north on Vimy Ridge Road, but the homeowners and residents of Quail Run Subdivision would probably not appreciate intensive commercial development next to their homes either. I support the Conditional Use Permit for 13624 Viuty Ridge Road if, axed only ,itis held to compliance with staff recommendations regarding landscaping, buffering and lighting.
