ANALYSIS: This proposal is a revision of a previously approved site plan (Dace Plaza). The previously approved plan contained 5 buildings (including the 10 -story, 1001000 -square foot structure) . The current proposal is basically the same as was originally approved. The major difference is the parking layout and the substitution of Building 3 (4 -story) in lieu of 3 small office buildings. The current proposal meets City ordinance requirements with the exception of the setback (or lack of) along the I-430 right-of-way. The staff would like to see the site plan revised to allow at least a 30 -foot undisturbed landscape area parallel with the I-430 property line. All improvements are currently in place. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval, provided the applicant agrees to submit a revised site plan that includes a minimum 30 -foot undisturbed landscape area parallel with the I-430 property line. December 18, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 13 - Continued SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant was present and stated that the 25 -foot landscaping requirement would be difficult to meet. The Commissioners discussed the requirement and then asked the staff to determine whether the Commission could waive the 25 -foot landscape requirement, and if the I-430 off ramp was a boundary street. The applicant agreed to review his proposal to determine whether or not a greater setback from the I-430 property line could be achieved. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors. The staff stated that the Little Rock Board of Adjustment made an interpretation on December 17, 1984, which was that an interstate right-of-way should not be construed as a boundary street, which automatically deletes the 25 -foot landscape requirement. The staff then recommended that the application be approved subject to the applicant moving the parking away from the I-430 property line as much as is practical for the developer. The Commission then voted 8 ayes, 0 noes, 1 abstention, 1 absent to approve this application as recommended by staff.
