Friendship Charter School along with all of the abutting
property owners request to abandon the following rights -of -

• Cameron Street— approximately 310 linear feet of
right-of-way west of James M. Henson Drive.
(50 foot wide right-of-way)
■ James M. Henson Drive — approximately 485
linear feet of right-of-way in two (2) sections
(295 linear feet and 190 linear feet) between Vernon
Estates Drive and Cameron Street (50 foot wide
right-of-way)
The requested right-of-way abandonment is a follow-up
application to the Friendship Charter School — Conditional
Use Permit (Z-9514), which was approved by the Planning
Commission on June 25, 2020 by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes
and 0 absent. A brief description of the approved school
use is as follows:
Construction of a single story 36,430 sf middle school for
6th — 8th grades with associated parking. The project will
consist of a cafeteria, an administration wing, a
gymnasium and two classroom wings. The school is
planned to serve 300 students. There will be 12
classrooms in addition to lab, admin and parent services
spaces, art and music and special education breakout
rooms. There will also be a cafeteria, a gymnasium,
building service spaces and associated parking as well as
a sand volleyball court, half -court basketball and outdoor
classrooms. Construction of an interior drive will serve
as drop off and pickup of students for both parents and
busses and will allow for car stacking to be on site.
The abandonment of portions of Vernon Estates Drive,
James M. Henson Drive and Cameron Street was a
component of the overall school development plan as
approved by the Planning Commission.
The section of Vernon Estates Drive contains
approximately 25 feet of pavement width. Cameron
Street contains approximately 17 feet to 23 feet of
pavement width. James M. Henson Drive also contains
approximately 25 feet of pavement width. Portions of
the streets are covered with grass and dirt. The streets
are not currently used by the public. Gates at the west
end of the section of Vernon Estates Drive and along
Aaron Place, east of James M. Henson Drive prohibit
access to the rights -of -way proposed for abandonment.
BACKGROUND
CONTNUED
After abandonment, the portions of Vernon Estates Drive,
Cameron Street and James M. Henson Drive will be
incorporated into the adjacent properties for the
development of a school campus.
All of the public utility companies have reviewed and
approved the abandonment request. The specific utility
comments are as follows:
• AT&T — AT&T approves of the abandonment of
the easements and ROW.
• CenterPoint Energy — CenterPoint Energy (CNP)
does not object to the proposed Easement & ROW
Abandonments as received on 8/19/2020 in regard
to the Friendship Charter School Project located in
Little Rock, AR. Field investigation has indicated
the presence of active CNP below ground natural
gas facilities in the proximity of the 10' Utility &
Drainage Easement as indicated North of the
existing Cameron Street lots. CNP advises calling
811 prior to any excavation activities. If an
unexpected discovery of CNP facilities occurs,
please call Kevin Clark (501) 672-9419
immediately.
■ Central Arkansas Water — The requested
easement and ROW abandonment is approved with
condition the replat of the area, as shown on
Friendship Charter School plat dated 8/28/2020,
includes an easement for the water line (as shown),
the easement and ROW abandonment are signed
and filed simultaneously with the plat.
■ Entergy — We release the utility easements and
ROW only where we have removed our facilities.
All existing power lines need to retain its
easements.
■ Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority —
LRWRA has no further objection to the right-of-
way and easement abandonments as proposed. New
sewer will need to be extended to serve your
facility.

BACKGROUND
CONTINUED
The engineering division of the Department of Planning
and Development has reviewed the abandonment request
and has no issues.
Information submitted by an abstract company shows that
there are no reversionary rights found of record.
There are no Master Street Plan issues associated with this
abandonment request, as the right-of-way is not classified
as a collector street or higher.
Abandoning these portions of right-of-way will have no
adverse impact on the public welfare and safety.
