ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Children's Hospital -Parking Deck
Dave Roberts, ASLA— Agent with
Roberts & Williams Associates
1902 Maryland Avenue
Block 4 & 5 Faust's Addition
Block 4 & 5 Marshall & Wolfe
Addition. Summit Street as closed
by Ordinance 16,787
1. A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts
adjoining property. This strip shall be at least nine (9) feet wide.
2. Three (3) shrubs or vines for every thirty (30) linear feet shall be planted in the perimeter
planting strip.
3. The city official may grant not more than a twenty-five (25) percent reduction of these
provisions for developments within mature areas.
VARIANCE REQUESTED:
1. A reduction of the perimeter landscaping stripadjacent to M� land Avenue. This area
varies in size from approximately three (2.97)\feet to five (3.11 feet in width.
FINDINGS:
The site is currently being used as a lay down area for the construction of the new office
building located at 8`h and Battery Streets. There are hospital and office facilities located
to the east and south of the proposed site also owned by Arkansas Children's Hospital.
There is a high-rise residential tower owned by the Housing Authority located to the
southeast of the site. The streets are currently in place around the area some with
sidewalk and some without. Curb and gutter is in place along most streets. The Schiller
Street right-of-way has been abandoned and ACH owns the property on the west side of
the former right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing a four story parking deck structure to accommodate 1,005
automobiles. The site plan indicates the proposed parking deck will be set at 3.11-feet
from the southern property line at the southeast corner (adjacent to the surface parking
lot) increasing to 4.9.2 feet at the southwest corner. Therefore, the remaining proposed
landscape area does not meet the minimal perimeter landscape ordinance requirement of
6'-9" six foot nine inches. The landscape strip varies from 2.97 feet to 3.11 feet on the
southern perimeter.
The planning commission approved development of the parking deck through site plan
review on February 16, 2006.
The applicant has provided a landscape plan with details of how the massing of the
proposed structure will be broken up by installation of large evergreen plantings. The
landscape plan indicates the placement of the Southern Magnolia's along the western
perimeter and the northern perimeter (Interstate 630) of the development. This species of
trees typically grows 40-60 feet with a maturity height of 100-feet. The proposal
includes the placement of Lacebark Elm trees along the Maryland Street, which are
smaller shade trees. In addition, at the entrances to the parking structure, Crape Myrtles
will be used to provide additional plantings. Autumn Blaze Red Maples are proposed
along Battery Street, the eastern perimeter of the site and Savannah Holly will be planted
along the service drive and behind the office building currently under construction to
break the massing when viewed from the Interstate. The landscape plan also indicates
the placement of shrubs as required by the Landscape Ordinance. The proposed tree size
at planting exceeds ordinance requirements.
The green space and the plant quantity allocated along the southern perimeter exceeds the
amount required by ordinance; a portion of that green space will be located in the public
right-of-way.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this request subject to a franchise agreement being obtained for
the proposed landscaping in the public right-of-way.
