Additional right-of-way has been dedicated and recorded on Pine St. with the Pine/Cedar St. Street Improvement Project in favor of the City of Little Rock. Vince Floriani, P.E. Design Review Engineer Little Rock Public Works -Civil Engineering 723 W. Markham St. Little Rock, AR 72201 501-371-4817 vfloriani@littlerock.gov From: Robert Brown <robertb@dcius.pro> Sent: Friday, August 27, 2021 10:17 AM To: Floriani, Vince <VFloriani@littlerock.gov> Cc: Brian Cotten <cottenbrian@uams.edu> Subject: UAMS Jack Stephens Drive - Street ROW Abandonment F UTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the der and know the content is safe. Vince: As part of many things going on at the east side of the UAMS campus, we are beginning to prepare a street abandonment application for a portion of Jack Stephens Drive. The attached PDF shows the subject area, from the south side of Plateau to the south side of 6t" Street. When we prepared the abandonment application for Cedar Street (pending completion of Pine Street), you provided a confirmation that no additional street ROW would be required (see attached CLR Waiver PDF). Please review and provide a similar confirmation memo regarding the Stephens Drive application. The president of the UA System has to sign a ROW dedication agreement, and it would be helpful if we can be relieved of that requirement. Thank you, Robert M. Brown Development Consultants Inc.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. We are currently working with UAMS on another street abandonment area, for Jack Stephens Drive. The proposed abandonment area is illustrated on the attached exhibit and will begin at the southern right-of-way of Plateau Street, and extend to the southern right-of-way line of 6th Street. A portion of this right-of-way was previously abandoned by ordinance in 1998 (see attachment). All abandoned right-of-way areas will be retained as utility and drainage easements as there are many lines existing there today. The abandonment will facilitate UAMS in taking ownership of several duct banks, presently owned by Entergy, as well as their continued improvements in this part of the campus. Please provide your statement of approval, contingent on maintaining utility and drainage easements, for our use in the application to the CLR Planning Commission and Board of Directors.

Below is a screenshot of our mapping for the area we were discussing. The UG duct bank (12-5") will be sold/given to UAMS as part of moving the primary meter point to 6th & Cedar. I wasn't quite sure of the UG route for the back feed (highlighted in red) to the VA Hospital but it is along West Capitol. It dips at Capitol and Pine, runs underground then rises at Capitol and Jack Stephens. We will need to maintain an easement for that UG as well as the OH along Jack Stephens. Let me know if you need additional info. Sincerely, Mike Cearley Senior Engineer Entergy Arkansas, LLC 9 Entergy Court Little Rock, AR 72211 501-954-5151 mcearle@enterey.com View Trail Tuts i'......
