PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
No adverse comments have been received from any reviewing
agency. However, there are two points worth mentioning.
First, this property stands to lose about three acres off
the southern end for construction of the proposed
Shackleford Road Exit off Highway I-430, based upon data
collected from the Arkansas Highway Department. Second,
there will be a requirement to extend sewer lines under
I-430 for service to this property. Staff understands that
the applicant is aware of both issues and is already working
with the proper authorities.
The proposed development is for a major office building
providing corporate headquarters for the Dace Corporation.
The proposed use is compatible with the Suburban Development
Plan. Right-of-way will be required from this applicant for
Shackleford Road in the amount of 10 feet. Staff believes
that this site is sufficiently sensitive that site plan
review is desirable.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of "0-2" Office and Institutional
District zoning.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Paul Stanfield, attorney for the applicant, was present, and
there were no objectors. Mr. Stanfield took issue with the
staff recommendation for "0-2" stating that he felt because
of the topography and the rights-of-way which would be
involved in the proposed Highway Department project, that
the applicant would desire as much flexability in the
placement of the building as possible. There was a lengthy
discussion of the differences between "0-2" and "0-3"
zoning. After the lengthy discussion, the Planning
Commission moved to approve the application as filed. The
motion failed by a vote of 5 ayes, 4 noes, 2 absent.
A substitute motion by the Planning Commission to recommend
that "0-2" Office and Institutional zoning be forwarded to
the Board of Directors was made and passed: 9 ayes, 0 noes,
2 absent.
