WILLIAMS WRITERS DIRECT NO. 370-1558 This will follow up my conferences with you and with Mr. Bozynski this past Friday, January 4, 1985, at City Hall and subsequent call to Mr. Barrier. This will confirm that applicant Wengroup Companies desires to continue the rezoning application from R-6 High -Rise Apartment to C-3 General Commercial District, but not the matter of the conditional use permit which was withdrawn by Mr. Barrier's letter of December 27, 1984. Our firm is now representing Wengroup in this rezoning matter in accordance with my conversation with Mr. Barrier. I have also checked with the City Clerk's office. The rezoning application which was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission on December 18, 1984 is now scheduled upon the City Board of Directors docket for Wednesday evening, January 16, 1985 (this meeting having been rescheduled from Tuesday, January 15, 1985, a city holiday) subject to any action at the agenda meeting of the City Board scheduled for Wednesday of this week, January 9, 1985 at 1:30 p.m. Thank you.

GROOMS December 17, 1984 OF COUNSEL HENRY E.SPITZBERG Planning Commission Arkansas 72201 Re: Northeast Corner, Rodney Parham and Reservoir Roads (See Attached Legal Description) Ladies and Gentlemen: Enclosed are sixteen prints of the site plan for the proposed development, as called for by the conditional use ordinance (Section 4-102 of the zoning ordinance). Our client, Watson & Taylor Companies, Inc. (on its own behalf as purchaser of the property and on behalf of Wengroup Companies, the selling owner) has applied for C-3 zoning for this tract, which is now zoned R-6. It also wishes to apply for a conditional use permit, to permit office -warehouse and mini -warehouse uses on the tract. Enclosed with the site plans are sheets repre- senting a generalized graphic rendering of the project, which will be constructed of washed aggregate tilt -up panels, bronzed aluminum and tinted glass. The tract will be screened from the street by landscaping, which will be from 15 to 25 feet wide, with appropriate plantings. It will be screened from properties to the east by landscaping and also by a masonry wall of approximately eight feet in heighth. Lighting along this wall will be directed wholly into the applicant's property and away from adjacent property. Parking will generally be at the entrances to the various stores and offices. Access will be from curb -cuts on Reservoir, the closest of which will be over 250 feet MITCHELL, WILLIAMS, SELIG, JACKSON & TUCKER Little Rock Planning Commission December 17, 1984 Page Two from the intersection, and a single curb -cut on Rodney Parham, which will be nearly 400 feet from the intersection, at the extreme southeast corner of the tract. The buildings are to be located so that only retail storefronts and office -showrooms will front on the streets. The few mini -warehouses, and the office -warehouse units (standard size and smaller) will be in the interior, as shown. The intent is to provide a mixture of uses consistent with development in the area, such as traditional retail shops, and establishments requiring some storage in the immediate vicinity, such as carpet and paint stores. Finally, the project will contain storage units which can be used by other businesses in the Rodney Parham area, many of which do not have adequate storage space for merchandise which is not on display. Complete development will be effected at once and not in phases. The slope from north to south will be di- minished by grading the higher areas and filling the lower areas. Adequate facilities will be provided to detain and dispose of drainage water; in particular, water will be contained and directed away from the east side of the tract, by the wall and otherwise. It is our understanding that the conditional use application may be considered preliminarily at the Planning Commission meeting on December 18; that it will go to the Subdivison Committee on January 3, 1985; and that it will be presented to the Planning Commission formally at the meeting on January 22, 1985.
