Subject: RE: Planning Commission Agenda 3-10-2022 Civil Engineering Comments
Monte,
See attached for revised comments for the March PC Agenda. Three additional comments were added
to Z-1884-A item. Those comments are as follows:
1. Existing street shall be improved to local street standards per City’s master street
plan. Civil Engineering staff supports waiving construction of sidewalk on one side of street
per master street plan due to steep grades on-site. All required widening of existing street
shall match pavement section of the existing street.
2. Boundary street improvements are required. Boundary street improvements shall
include, but not be limited to, reconstruction of one-half section of the abutting street if the
existing street is not up to city standards. Repair, replace, or extend existing damaged,
missing, and noncompliant curb and gutter, sidewalk, access ramps or concrete driveway
aprons within the public right-of-way adjacent to the site. Remove abandoned driveway cuts
and replace with curb, gutter, and sidewalk. All work within the public right-of-way shall
conform to City of Little Rock Public Works Standard Details and ADA guidelines.
3. Per Appendix D in the International Fire Code, dead-end fire apparatus access roads in
excess of 150 feet shall be provided with width and turnaround provisions in accordance with
Table D103.4. Accepted turnaround provisions per the code are a ninety-six (96) foot
diameter cul-de-sac, a sixty (60) foot “Y” or a one hundred twenty (120) foot
hammerhead. Proposed alternatives to the accepted turnaround provisions will be required to
be approved by the Fire Chief.
