B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site is presently undeveloped and wooded. To the rear of
the property, between the property and Interstate Highway
630, is City -owned property designated as "Open Space".
C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS:
Public Works Engineering Division comments that one parking
space, at the far north-west corner of the parking area and
within the neck of the access drive, is unacceptable. It
should either be eliminated or the head -in parking along the
north-west portion of the lot should be moved further east.
The engineering staff observed that access to the City -owned
"open space" at the rear of the property should be provided,
and recommend that a 20 foot access easement be provided
along the west property line of the development to be left
in its natural state. Engineering reminds the developer
that the Storm Water Detention and Excavation Ordinances are
applicable.
Little Rock Water Works observed that the existing easement
for water the water main should be designated as a water
easement.
Little Rock Wastewater Utility reported that sewer is
available to the site with no adverse effects.
The Fire Department approved the Site Plan without comment.
Arkansas Power and Light and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.
both approved the site plan as submitted.
D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN:
The Site Plan submitted fails to show the quantitative data
required: building area, lot size, and building coverage of
the lot. The Site Plan/Survey fail to include information
as to ownership of the property.
A notation on the Site Plan indicates the "approximate"
location of the flood plain as being on the property and
very near the building. A definitive determination of the
flood plain limits is required.
Access to the "open space" is desirable.
Notification of adjacent property owners, and furnishing of
proof of notification, is required.

E. ANALYSIS:
Staff review and utility personnel comments reflect a
positive review of the proposed development. Only minor
deficiencies and requirements remain.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval, subject to the requirements
noted: providing an access easement to the "open space",
removing or relocating one parking space, etc.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
Staff presented this item. Mr. Pat McGetrick, project engineer,
was present to receive staff comments and to discuss the proposed
development. The staff recommendation to provide an access
easement on the part of the developer to the "open space" was
discussed, as was the recommendation that the one parking space
be eliminated or relocated. Mr. McGetrick indicated that he
would deliver these comments to the architect and developer.
With this discussion, the Committee recommended that the site
plan be referred to the Commission for final disposition, subject
to the requirements noted.
STAFF UPDATE•
A revised site plan was presented by the project engineer with
all concerns addressed. Parks Department reported to staff that
there was no desire on their part to pursue an access easement on
the west property line as originally suggested. No issues remain
unresolved.
