Requests of City Planning regarding Rosemary Villas, 18500 Kanis Road on the agenda for June 10th,
2021. In general, Citizens of West Pulaski County finds the project acceptable and puts forth the
following for consideration.
I. All parcels that are not currently within the City Limits of this project must be
annexed into the City Limits of Little Rock.
II. Due to the sensitive nature of the visual impact on Kanis Road, we request that the
project not be approved until final excavation and elevation plans for the site are provided
and reviewed.
III. Due to the sensitive nature of the visual impact on Kanis Road, we request that the
project not be approved until final landscape plans for the site are provided and reviewed.
IV. The developer has indicated by phone call of his plan is to create sloping areas
between the Kanis Right of Way setback and the elevation level of the project
structures. This will destroy all existing trees in that area. As an alternative, the developer
could make use of some retaining walls in addition to or in place of the slopes to save
more existing trees.
V. In all disturbed areas between Kanis Road and the project structures, there needs
to be required tree planting to visually screen the project from Kanis Right of Way in time.
VI. We request that the existing trees in the Kanis right of way be left until such time
that the actual widening of Kanis takes place.
VII. The developer is asking that the entire project site be cleared and leveled at the
onset. The Developer then plans to build out Phase 1 and 2. We ask that the Developer be
required to plant the required trees and landscaping in the area between Kanis and the
project as soon as possible, including along the section of Phase 3. We do not want to see
the prepared site for possibly years before the trees and landscaping is installed.
VIII. The developer states the project will be surrounded by a 6-foot-tall wrought iron
fence. We are counting on that being true at least on the side of the project facing Kanis
Road.
IX. In general, we want the least disruption to the Kanis Right of Way and the set
back from the Kanis right of way to the project improvements as possible.
