Monte Moore
Department of Planning and Development

Dear Monte Moore:
We are proposing to construction six (6) duplex buildings, containing a mixture of 1- and 2-bedroom
units, two story, contemporary styled duplexes with garage and surface parking spaces on lots 11 and
12 along Cumberland St and 171h St, Little Rock. The current use is vacant land.
The lots current designation is R4 zoning district which is suitable for moderate to medium density
residential development. Our proposal for six duplex buildings is well suited to this large depth lot and its
relationship to the growing SOMA Commercial district. The design meets requirements for parking, us
under the maximum heights, site coverage and floor area ratios. Each unit has a dedicated parking
stall or private garage space per bedroom.
While the proposed development fits within the central city overlay district requirements two variances
are required to accommodate the proposed design; a reduction in front yard setbacks (from 25 ft to
24 ft and north side yard setback (from 5 ft to 0 ft), a rear setback (from 25 ft to 10 ft) and an increase
in overall density allowing 12 total units.
Careful thought has been given to the design of the proposed buildings to be constructed. We feel
very strongly about creating well thought out, functional and quality design which is reflected in the
attached set of development drawings.
If you have any questions on the above, please feel free to contact me (Cope Gracy,
owner/developer) at 479.530.5060 or by e-mail cope@copegracy.com.
Sincerely,
Riverwalk Properties, LLC
