BOX 21664 LITTLE ROCF,ARKANSAS 72221-1664 Jim Lawson City Hall 500 East Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 September 16, 1994 RE: Effect of temporary construction road in use by the construction company for Parkway Village on residents of St. Michael, in the St. Charles Addition of the City of Little Rock. Dear Mr. Lawson: The St. Charles Community Association, Inc. would like to request that the temporary road that is being used for construction of new units at Parkway Heights be closed and the permit revoked ( Excavation permit RT#94017. ) Additionally we would like to request that removal of this access road begin promptly and that all construction traffic should be brought into the Parkway Heights off of Chenal Parkway. A little over a year ago Baptist Medical Systems began work on a new phase of Parkway Village called Parkway Heights. A dirt construction road was graded about 40 feet from the back yards of homeowners on St. Michael and LaSalle Dr. on the north side of property belonging to BMS. Heavy construction traffic began almost immediately using this dirt road to access the construction area. Initially residents made contact with a Mrs. Marcia Cunningham of Parkway Village to express their displeasure with the placement of the construction road so close the their back yards. The road, they were told, was temporary and would be used until around October or November of 1994 when unit construction would be complete. The road was to be removed at that time and the site repaired. Residents were unhappy with the dust and noise from the trucks but wanted to be good neighbors and agreed that temporarily this could be tolerated. Recently Baptist Medical announced plans to build more retirement units in Parkway Heights. Follow up letters and calls revealed that the so called "temporary access road" was again to be used for the construction entrance in the newly planned phases. Residents of St. Michael were also horrified to learn that construction of these units could last from 5 to 10 years depending upon the length of time required to market and sell the development. A group of homeowners, headed up by Mr. Harry Blair of 14211 St. Michael Drive and Connie Miller of 14205 St. Michael Dr. have written many letters and made many phone calls to resolve this problem. Homeowners met recently with representatives of Baptist to request that a new construction road be brought into Parkway Heights off Chenal Parkway. Cost to construct a new road became central in the negotiations. Homeowners were ask to show how this road could be constructed without a tremendous expenditure of money being laid out. Needless to say the group could not do this- nor should they have to! The cost of road construction is of no concern to the home owners. What is of concern to them is that extended construction and use of this road will adversely effect property values in the area. Enclosed is a packet of correspondence both to and from St. Michael residents. Please note the primary concerns of St. Michael residents are as follows: *security concerns due to unauthorized use of road for a recent burglary *adverse effect on homes that back up to construction site and in particular those that have been on the real estate market for extended periods of time *potential loss of property value if these homes do sell at a discounted rate *safety for children at play in their own back yards *noise, dust and eyesore of road in an area zoned for single and multi family use only *apparent change in plans to use road for extended time period now despite residential opposition to this and a verbal commitment to discontinue use after a year. * disregard of Parkway Village management for quality of life of those residents who must live next to the construction road. I would like to point out that the term "temporary road" most certainly cannot be applied to a road that will be left in use for 5 to 10 years. Also, the surface of the road has been black topped in some areas. A street that is properly platted, planned, set back, curbed, drained and approved by Neighborhoods and Planning should be in use for this greatly extended time frame. Residents are being subjected to heavy truck traffic in their own back yard with no benefit of zoning. Zoning laws in the City of Little Rock are very effective in protecting property owners from improper uses and developments of property. These zoning laws are also effective in protecting property values. Mr. Lawson, the St. Charles Community Association is concerned that this temporary construction road is having negative impact on the market value of the homes in St. Michael. Further, it is our contention that this road is not a temporary road any longer and the construction excavation permit should be revoked. Please contact me at your earliest convenience regarding our request to close this access road. Very truly yours, r �v Com' "" Anne H.

PLANNED JMT DEVELOPMENTS: 5. Village at Foxcroft Woods (Z -3510-A) N/A 6. Comfort Inn Motel (Z -3862-C) The landscape buffer along Interstate 430 drops below the minimum width requirement of 8 ft. The full requirement is 12 ft. in width. An eight foot high opaque wooden fence will be required to screen three sides of the dumpster. 7. Parkway Village (Z -3862-C) Areas set aside for buffer and landscaping meet ordinance requirements. 8. Gaines St. and West 24th St. (Z4135 -A) With the exception of allowing some flexibility for traffic visibility, a 6 ft. high opaque screen is required along the entire northern property line. After parking and vehicular use areas are defined, some perimeter and building landscaping will be necessary. 9. Pleasant Ridge Square (Z -4411-A) Areas set aside for buffers and landscaping meet the Hwy. #10 Overlay Ordinance requirements with the exception of two small areas along the eastern and southern site perimeters. In these instances, they fall short of the 25 ft. width requirement by 13 ft. to 17 ft. Trees will be required within the Hwy. 10 landscape buffer with an average spacing of 20 ft. A berm, wall or dense evergreen plantings will be required to screen the vehicular use areas as viewed 42" above the adjacent elevation of Hwy. #10. A sprinkler system to water plants will be required. A 6 ft. high opaque screen, either a good neighbor fence or dense evergreen plantings, will be required to screen this site from the residential property to the south. A cross section showing the proposed method of handling the large slope must be defined. Because of the proposed large cut, the Public Works Department will require terracing to lessen the impact. Trees will be required to be planted within the terracing areas. Raised curbing, fencing, or other protection should be provided at the slope base to protect the vehicular use area from fallen rocks and erosion. 10. Coulson Oil, Highway 10 (Z -4411-B) Areas set aside for landscaping and buffers meet the Hwy. 10 Overlay requirements with the exception of a portion of the western perimeter which falls 12 ft. short of the 25 ft. width requirement. A 6 ft. high opaque screen will be required to screen this site from the residential property to the south. This screen can either be a wooden good neighbor fence or dense evergreen plantings. Trees are required along Hwy. 10 with an average spacing of 20 ft. A sprinkler system to water plants will be required. An 8 ft. high opaque wall or wood fence will be required around three sides of the dumpster. A cross section showing the proposed method of handling the slope area must be provided. Because of the degree of cut, the Public Works Department will be requiring terracing to lessen the impact. Trees will be required to be planted within the terracing areas. Raised curbing, fencing, grading or other physical protection should be provided at the slope base to protect the vehicular use areas from falling rocks and erosion. 11. Markham Plaza Shopping Center (Z4422 -B) An 8 ft. high wall or wood fence should be provided around three sides of both dumpsters. At the time this site was developed the Landscape Ordinance required a 4 ft. wide landscape strip along the western and eastern site perimeters. Unless a platted access easement is provided along the western driveway area, the western landscape strip will be required by the Landscape Ordinance. Five trees are required in the landscape islands within the parking area and additional evergreen screening shrubs within the landscape strip along Markham Street by the Landscape Ordinance. City Beautiful Commission approval would be required to delete the Landscape Ordinance requirements. 12.

The landscape islands within the parking lot are short of the interior landscape requirement by 297 sq. ft. A 3 ft. wide building landscape strip between the public parking area and building is required. A 6 ft. high opaque screen along the southern and eastern property lines will be necessary. This screen may either be a wood fence with its structural supports facing inward or dense evergreen plantings. Curb and gutter or another approved border to protect plantings will be required. 13. Chenal Apartments (5 -867 -PP) Areas set aside for buffers and landscaping meet ordinance requirements. A 6ft. high opaque good neighbor wood fence or dense evergreen plantings are required to screen this site from the residential properties to the south and west.

Worthen Bank Branch, Chenal Parkway (Z -4933-C) Areas set aside for buffers and landscaping appear to meet ordinance requirements. However, the interior landscaping should be evenly distributed throughout the vehicular use area. 16. Saddle Creek Apartments (5-285-5) The proposed buffer width along Chenonceau Blvd. drops below the 30 ft. width required. The minimum requirement is 20 ft. A portion of the proposed buffer drops to a width of five feet. A 6 ft. high opaque screen is required along the northern site perimeter. This screen may either be a good neighbor wood fence or dense evergreen plantings. 17. Otter Creek Assembly of God (Z -3987-A) A 13 percent expansion in building area will require a 13 percent upgrade in landscaping toward compliance with the landscape ordinance. 18. Chenal Car Wash (Z -4423-B) A total of six percent of the interior of the vehicular use area must be landscaped. The parallel parking spaces should be increased from 20 ft. to 22 ft. in length. 19.

ITEM NO. 11 Z -4422-B LAND USE ELEMENT• The adopted The request is in the Rodney Parham District. The adopted Plan recommends Single Family use. The plan did not recognize an existing commercial center. This was in part to discourage commercial strip development. Staff believes to increase the effectiveness of the City's Land Use Plan, such a major use should be recognized. Therefore, the plan should show the area as mixed office and commercial. ITEM NO. 12 Z - LAND ❑ E ELEMENT• The request is in the I-430 District. The adopted Plan recommends Office. The Land Use Plan in this area has been violated massively over the last year with major changes in use. Staff believes this must stop and cannot support further erosion of the original plan.

Signed by Tom; DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS INCORPORATED February 11, 2005 Ms. Donna James City of Little Rock Planning & Development Division 723 West Markham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 RE: Parkway Village PRD DCI Project # 04-206 Dear Donna: Attached are three copies of the overall site plan for Parkway Village. We have added the proposed residential units that Parkway Village wishes to construct. There are three new duplex units and two individual units that are proposed in the western area of the project. As the project has developed, Parkway Village has had an increasing demand for additional duplex units and they have presently built all duplexes approved in the prior PRD Plan. The prior PRD revision in the 1994 Plan indicated this area to be green space and detention. The final design for drainage in this area did not actually construct detention storage facilities there. All required detention is provided in the three lakes along street frontage. Parkway Village has also consistently informed tenants that these areas would likely be developed for additional units. All area tenants are fully aware of the pending construction project and have been shown proposed plans by the management staff. We request that you allow this amendment to the PRD Plan by staff level approval so that we can proceed with construction as soon as possible. We believe this is reasonable due to the nominal increase in density and the large amount of green space that is maintained throughout the project. Please contact my office if you have any questions or require additional information. Thank you for your assistance.

Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Polk: I am writing to you concerning the request of the Baptist Medical Systems to revise the existing P.U.D. to allow them continued use of the access road that lies between their property, Parkway Village, Inc., and the houses on St. Michael Drive. I own one of those houses, located at 14009 St. Michael Drive. My house has been on the market for over seven months and I have yet to receive an offer of purchase. This is obviously disconcerting to my wife and I since St. Charles/St. Michael is a very robust real estate area in Little Rock and there is nothing structurally wrong with the residence nor does it have peculiarities in design that would deter purchasers. My realtor, Ms. Neoma Rowell has been on of the most successful salespeople in the St. Michael subdivision. She is convinced, and I have no reason to question her expert opinion, that the road in back of my house is a serious deterrence to would-be buyers. Almost all people who go through the house ask about the road - its purpose, how long it will continue to be used, whether it is "gated" and secured, etc. It is becoming obvious that the continued use of the road is driving down the value of my property, and by implication, the value of all other property on this side of the street. I am in receipt of the Notice of Public Hearing with the Little Rock Planning Commission, scheduled for November 29, 1994 at 12:30 pm, where this matter will be discussed. My employment with Louisiana State University prevents me from being present at this meeting. However, I wish to register my strong objection to continued use of the road and request that this letter be entered into the official record. Yours truly, Kenneth I. Millar, Ph.D. PETITION We, the residents, of St. Charles and St. Michael Communities, do hereby unite in expressing our concern about the continuing presence of a temporary haul road of the Baptist Medical System/Parkway Village which has been routed through the easement behind our homes. This road was never in the original approved PRD and is unsafe, creates unreasonable inconveniences for the neighborhood residents and diminishes property values. We urge the City of Little Rock to deny any and all requests for permits to continue the use of this road beyond March 1, 1995, and to insure that the Baptist Medical System/Parkway Village removes the road and returns the area to its natural state at that time.

N)tLLAA�- III2zA94) September 16, 1994 Mr. Michael Keck, Director Board of Directors City of Little Rock 500 West Markham, Room #203 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Keck, As homeowners of Little Rock, we would like to take this opportunity to solicit your help in solving a very serious situation that is threatening us and our families as well as hundreds of other families owning homes in the West Little Rock St. Charles area. Last year the Public Works Department of the City of Little Rock issued a permit to Parkway Village to install a temporary road at the rear of their property for construction of the current phase of their development. Parkway Village is a retirement development located on the north side of Chenal Parkway. The City as well as the St. Charles homeowners adjacent to the Village, were told that this temporary road would be used only for the period of time it took to complete the current phase of development, which they estimated would be completed sometime in October or November of this year (1994). We, the City and St. Charles residents were told and Parkway Village acknowledged that at completion of this phase of construction, they would remove the temporary road and landscape the area, assuring the St. Charles residents that the area would be more attractive than it was previous to the construction of the temporary road. Earlier this year several of our homeowners met at the site with members of the City engineering and permit department and members of the construction company involved in building the temporary road and the construction of the last building to be built in this phase of the development. The construction company acknowledged that this phase was supposed to be completed some time around the end of this year, but due to delays beyond their control, they now estimate construction to be completed in approximately eight months (May or June 1995). We, the homeowners, understood and were considerate of the Village's problems with the delays and demonstrated our responsibilities as good neighbors by agreeing not to object to the use of this temporary road for the remaining eight months of construction, provided all parties would abide by paragraph #3 of Mr. Steve Loop's letter dated June 14, 1994 (Attachment A). Mr. Michael Keck September 16, 1994 Page Two The next day following this meeting we were told by the City engineers that the Village intended to use this temporary road for an additional period of five to ten years. This prompted our initial letters dated August 17, 1994 to Mr. Russell D. Harrington, President of Baptist Medical Systems, Mr. Larry Lazenby and Ms. Marcia Cunningham of Parkway Village (Attachment B). On August 24, 1994 I met with Mr. Lyndell Lay, Director of the Baptist Medical Systems Board, and informed him of our concern in my letter dated August 14, 1994 (Attachment C). As suggested by Mr. Lay, I immediately requested a meeting with Mr. Lazenby. Mr. Lazenby, Ms. Cunningham, Mr. Bob Reynolds (14117 St. Michael) and I met Friday morning September 9th. At this meeting Mr. Lazenby informed us that they did not want to use the Village's main entrances on Chenal because it would disturb their residents. The City would, however, allow the Village to construct an entrance off Chenal but would require a deceleration lane at this entrance to help prevent auto accidents. The City suggested another alternative was a temporary road off Loyola. There is no deceleration lane on Chenal at the Loyola intersection. All construction traffic must decelerate on Chenal to turn onto Loyola. The only existing deceleration lane along a several mile stretch of the west lane of Chenal is at the entrance of Parkway Village. This would be the safest entrance along the four mile long stretch of Chenal for heavy construction vehicles to enter and exit the construction site. The intersection of Chenal and Loyola is a very busy intersection that frequently has auto accidents. As recently as this morning there was a serious accident and bodily injuries were sustained. I feel strongly that if police records were checked, this intersection would show a high accident rate. Construction traffic slowing to use this route can only increase the hazards. Being a homeowner you can appreciate our anxiety about the security problem this temporary road creates. The major concern of all of us is that of maintaining security for our families. Since the temporary road has been opened, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Holmes at 14301 St. Michael Drive have been burglarized. The police determined that the burglar came down across the temporary road, broke a rear window, and entered the rear of their home. You can imagine the concern we have about this. We have enough problems with burglars coming down our public streets and robbing us from the front of our homes. Just imagine what problems were going to have if that temporary road remains behind our homes. Mr. Michael Keck September 16, 1994 Page Three Another real concern is making sure that the value of our homes is maintained. Already one of our previous neighbors, Mr. Ken Millar, has had his home at 14009 St. Michael on the market now for five months (145 days) and he has yet to receive the first offer. His home backs up to this temporary road. Homes in our area that are listed for sale between $160,000 and $199,999 have an average marketing time of 72 days. On average, these homes have sold for 95-10070 of the list price. The above figures were compiled by the Central Arkansas Regional Multiple Listing System for the period 6/1/93 through 6/30/94. If these properties are sold at these depreciated values this will have a detrimental effect on the value of all homes located in the St. Charles area. These depreciated sales will be used as comparables by appraisers valuing other homes in our neighborhood that will, in the future, be put on the market for sale. Most recently in a letter to Mr. Harrington dated September 12th we again asked that he and his board realize and appreciate the genuine concerns we as neighbors and homeowners, have in trying to keep our families and homes safe and secure, and at the same time make sure that the value of our homes be maintained. We as citizens of Little Rock ask that you join with the City engineer and permit staffs in seeing that the temporary road be removed after completion of this phase construction which is estimated to be completed sometime next spring (May or June 1995). Your actions will help restore the amenities that all of your citizens desire and covet. These bring the security of our families and homes and the maintaining of the value of our biggest investment, our homes. We know you share our concerns. We solicit and will appreciate your help in this request.

RE: Parkway Village/Parkway Heights 1994 Cottages Permits NRT#0001 & RT#94017 Dear Mr. Daters: This letter references your hand -delivered submittals dated 5/27/94 and addressing Inspection Report No. 00520 violations and requirements of a letter to Rick Terry of Baldwin S Shell Construction Company dated 4/27/94 and copied to your attention. The City visited the site on or about 6/5/94. Based on the results of that visit, the City amends Excavation Permit RT#94017 to include the work identified in the 5/27/94 submittals. The following conditions are applicable: 1) Dust control must be provided for the haul road for the duration of its use. At a minimum, the Contractor shall water the road at least three times daily, and more frequently when necessary, during use. 2) Control off-site tracking to Loyola Drive. This can be accomplished through a construction access, or through regular hand -sweeping of Loyola Drive at the intersection of the haul road access. 5) Removal of the access road is scheduled after the completion of Parkway Heights. Atter the access road is removed, the Contractor is required to return the topography in the vicinity of the existing 48" storm drain to pre - development contours. Specifically, the area of the storm drainage should be swaled to accommodate off-site drainage entering from the north, and should be sloped to the south to insure that no ponding occurs. 4) Access control for the haul road is the responsibility of the Contractor during construction. ' The City and residents immediately north of the project site are concerned about unauthorized access by others, and steps should be taken to Provide reasonable restrictions to use. Attachment A 6/14/94 White-Daters and Associates, Inc. Page two 5) Erosion control notes identified in Excavation Permit RT#94017 are applicable. Referring to Note #1, the Contractor shall apply fertilizer, seed and mulch, as applicable, to all irregular berms constructed along the access route. Many of these berms have been shaped and are now complete, and mulch and other revegetation practices should commence immediately. Please contact this office at your convenience if you have any questions or comments regarding the above conditions to your Excavation Permit.

Your action hopefully will also ensure that our property values will be protected in the near future. The attached is a copy of a letter that was mailed last Friday morning to Mr. Russell D.

We understand that Mr. Loop is in the process of scheduling a meeting to include all parties involved. We will contact each of you as soon as we know the date, place, and time. It is extremely important that each of you make every effort to attend this meeting to help ensure that the safety of our families and the value of our homes be maintained. All of you have been very generous in the willingness to help in this cause. Many of you know Mr. Harrington and other members of the Baptist Medical Center Board. Please contact these individuals and let them know of our plight and solicit their help. Each of you can make a significant contribution. Constance S. Miller Harry Blai r Attachment B August 17, 1994 Mr. Russell D. Harrington, Jr. Chairman Baptist Medical Systems'Board 11221 Shenandoah Valley Drive Little Rock, AR 72212 Dear Mr. Harrington: We are writing to you as homeowners on St. Michael Drive and LaSalle Drive whose property is adjacent to Parkway Village on Chenal Parkway. There are 23 homes which are now dealing with the construction on Parkway Village property. As we understand, plans are being made, delayed and changed for more construction. What a surprise it was for all the homeowners who bought property next to you, assuming that whatever future development that Parkway Village did would be quiet and done with taste and discretion and with consideration of your neighbors. We found it unbelievable that a heavy construction road was being built behind our houses, with huge trucks and dirt moving equipment going up and down seven days a week from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. At first the noise began at 6 A.M., even on weekends until we complained. We were told that this was a temporary road and would be used until October or November of 1994 and then restored to the way the power easement was before the construction. Promises were made to enhance the property with Bradford pear trees and berms, seeded with grass, etc. Now we are told that the continued construction will last 2 to 4 years and the construction road would be used for 5 to 10 years. We were misled. The mystery to all of us is why Parkway Village chose to use this route and build this road costing many thousands of dollars instead of going out to Chenal either on your own property or building a temporary road for about 100 yards from the construction site to the parkway. Instead, someone made the decision to tear up the property behind these private homes with complete disregard for the homeowners. We have had noise, dust, and water problems because of the road, not to mention the very real security problem and eyesore created by the road. There are unauthorized vehicles on the road at night, even when the chain is in place. The four wheel vehicles can manage to get in and drive up and down behind our houses. This road has substantially affected the resale value of our properties. Many of us are faced with absorbing the cost of cleaning, recaulking and repainting our homes due to damage already caused by the dust. We cannot open our windows or use our backyards for recreation because of the dust. As homeowners it saddens us that Parkway Village would do such a thing and all of our efforts to discuss this with Parkway Village have not been received with understanding and cooperation. In fact, we believe that the persons making the decisions have absolutely no regard whatsoever for us, your neighbors. At one point we were told that Parkway management "had enough problems on their side of the road" and we would have to discuss our concerns with the builders. As responsible Board Members, we ask you to investigate whether or not the persons making these decisions have spent thousands of dollars unnecessarily. What was done makes no sense. Now that further construction is planned, very far from the entrance on Loyola, the expense of maintaining this road according to city restrictions, is going to become a factor to be carefully studied by you as property owners. It is our belief that a temporary road onto Chenal Parkway can be easily accomplished. We believe that the City will cooperate in every way with you on this. We have been told that there must be egress lanes built, but there is no egress lane at Loyola. There should be some way to work this out. We hope that this letter will bring to your attention the problems that Parkway has created for these homeowners, your neighbors. We have contacted the city on several occasions and they are willing to help any way they can. Everyone who has been out here is appalled at the destruction. It has been suggested that we contact the newspapers to do a story on the project and that we seek legal help. We choose not to do this at this time. We hope you, the Board, will solve this problem that Parkway Village has created. We are sure that your retirement residents would be concerned at the way Parkway Village has handled their money. We will appreciate any response from you. Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter.

This development was approved by the Planning Commission and Board of Directors involving specific development plans. These plans in the several phases have not indicated the use of the power line easement as a haul road, temporary or otherwise. Our investigation thus far reveals that it will be necessary to bring this matter to a public hearing before the Planning Commission and perhaps the City Board of Directors. This is required if the Parkway Village development wishes to use the haul road for any period of time. Mr. Harrington and others as necessary, will be notified that a revision of their plan is required and will be offered the procedure for doing so. Notice to adjoining owners will be given prior to the hearing (to owners within 200 feet) in order to allow time for all parties to be present and present their concerns. If you have questions concerning revision of the plan or other issues, do not hesitate to call this office. The staff administrator for this project in Bobby Sims at 371-6814.

Thank you for your concern. Sincerely, t_ Har Bit r HB/cw I August 24, 1994 Mr. Lyndell Lay Director Baptist Medical Systems 3901 McCain Park North Little Rock, AR 72116 Dear Lyndell, Per our visit this morning I am enclosing a copy of our Homeowners letter recently sent to Russell D. Harrington, Jr., Larry Lazenby and Marcia Cunningham. As you can determine, we are very concerned about the length of time the temporary access road, at the rear of the Village's property, will be used. Several of us were told that the road was temporary and would be used only until the current phase of construction was completed. The city was also led to believe it was a temporary road because they issued only a temporary permit. We were told that the completion would be sometime in October or November of this year and that the road would be removed and the area would be seeded and landscaped. We were assured that it would be much more attractive than before the temporary road was built. The major concern of all of us is that of maintaining security for our families. Since the temporary road has been opened, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Holmes at 14301 St. Michael Drive have been burglarized. The police determined that the burglar came down across the temporary road, broke a rear window, and entered the rear of their home. You can imagine the concern we have about this. We have enough problems with burglars coming down our public streets and robbing us from the front of our homes. Just imagine what problems we're going to have if that temporary road remains behind our homes. Another real concern is making sure that the value of our homes is maintained. Already one of our neighbors has suffered monetary damage because of this temporary road. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Millar's home at 14009 St. Michael Drive has been on the market for four months (120 days) and they have yet to receive the first offer. Homes in our area that are listed for sale between $160,000 and $199,999 have an average marketing time of 72 days. On average, these homes have sold for 95-1007o of the list price. The above figures were compiled by the Central Arkansas Regional Multiple Listing System for the period 6/V93 through 6/30/94. Mr. Lyndell Lay August 24, 1994 Page Two We would appreciate your consideration in helping to see that the temporary road be removed and the area landscaped as soon as possible. This would help assure us that Parkway Village does have their neighbors' interest in mind by helping make our homes and the Village more secure and by helping us maintain the value of our homes. We, as neighbors and homeowners, would welcome the opportunity of meeting with your Board, or the Board of Directors of Parkway Village. Please advise me of your recommendation concerning this request. Respectfully, L '-- a B14 Enclosure cc: Russell D. Harrington, Jr. Larry Lazenby Marcia Cunningham TO: Concerned Homeowners FROM: Harry Blairq,�,� 7 DATE: September 5, 1994 Mr. Lyndell Lay, a director of the Baptist Medical Systems, recommended that I try to arrange a meeting with Mr. Larry Lazenby and the Board of Directors of Parkway Village. I contacted Mr. Lazenby last week by phone and he suggested that he and I meet sometime this week. I have attempted to reach him by phone today and have left word for him to call. Bob Reynolds (14117 St. Michael) has agreed to accompany me when we visit with Mr. Lazenby, hopefully within the next few days. I hope that many of you have had a chance to contact individuals that you know either on the Baptist Medical Systems Board or with the City concerning our plight. We will inform you of the results of our upcoming meeting with Mr. Lazenby. Kenneth I.

Harrington, Jr. Chairman Baptist Medical Systems Board 11221 Shenandoah Valley Drive Little Rock, AR 72212 Re: Property at 14009 St. Michael Drive Little Rock, AR 72211 Dear Mr. Harrington: I write to you as the homeowner of the property at 14009 St. Michael Drive in Little Rock. I am one of many homeowners whose property is adjacent to Parkway Retirement Village. Until my departure from Little Rock on July 1, 1994, I endured, like my neighbors, the frustration, annoyance, and inconvenience of the construction road built by Parkway Village behind my property. However, these items pale in comparison to the serious financial impact this road has had, and is continuing to have, on me and my family. My house has been on the market since the third week of April. It remains unsold. This has been a matter of both surprise and increasing concern to me and my realtor. St. Michael is a "hot" area where houses turn over quickly. The house is only three years old and is finely constructed. It is competitively priced with other houses in the area. Nevertheless, we have received no offers. Many would-be buyers have expressed concern about the road, and it has become increasingly apparent that it is a major deterrent to the sale. In short, Mr. Harrington, the value of my property is being driven down by the road. I can no longer stand idly by while this violation to my financial security continues to occur. I am asking that you take immediate steps to re -locate the road. If not, I will have no choice but to put this matter in the hands of my attorney. Yours truly, �KennZ.ZM` illar City of Lit5e_Rock Department of Public Works 6/14/94 701 West 4arkharn Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 371-4800 White-Daters and Associates, Inc. 401 Victory Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 ATTN: Tim Daters, P.E. RE: Parkway Village/Parkway Heights 1994 Cottages Permits NRT#0001 & RT#94017 Dear Mr. Daters: Engineering _Division This letter references your hand -delivered submittals dated 5/27/94 and addressing Inspection Report No. 00520 violations and requirements of a letter to Rick Terry of Baldwin & Shell Construction Company dated 4/27/94 and copied to your attention. The City visited the site on or about 6/6/94. Based on the results of that visit, the City amends Excavation Permit RT#94017 to include the work identified in the 5/27/94 submittals. The following conditions are applicable: 1) Dust control must be provided for the haul road for the duration of its use. At a minimum, the Contractor shall water the road at least three times daily, and more frequently when necessary, during use. 2) Control off-site tracking to Loyola Drive. This can be accomplished through a construction access, or through regular hand -sweeping of Loyola Drive at the intersection of the haul road access. 3) Removal of the access road is scheduled after the completion of Parkway Heights. After the access road is removed, the Contractor is required to return the topography in the vicinity of the existing 48" storm drain to pre - development contours. Specifically, the area of the storm drainage should be swaled to accommodate off-site drainage entering from the north, and should be sloped to the south to insure that no ponding occurs. 4) Access control for the haul road is the responsibility of the Contractor during construction. The City and residents immediately north of the project site are concerned about unauthorized access by others, and steps should be taken to provide reasonable restrictions to use. 6/14/94 White-Daters and Associates, Inc. Page two 5) Erosion control notes identified in Excavation Permit RT#94017 are applicable. Referring to Note #1, the Contractor shall apply fertilizer, seed and mulch, as applicable, to all irregular berms constructed along the access route. Many of these berms have been shaped and are now complete, and mulch and other revegetation practices should commence immediately. Please contact this office at your convenience if you have any questions or comments regarding the above conditions to your Excavation Permit.

Your action hopefully will also ensure that our property values will be protected in the near future. The attached is a copy of a letter that was mailed last Friday morning to Mr. Russell D. Harrington, Jr., Ms. Marcia Cunningham, Director of Parkway Village, and her superior, Mr. Larry Lazenby, Mr. Steve Loop and Mr. Harold Ford with the City of Little Rock. A copy was also mailed today to Mr. Michael Keck, City Director and a copy delivered to Dennis Sullivan, President of our St. Charles Community Association, Inc. We understand that Mr. Loop is in the process of scheduling a meeting to include all parties involved. We will contact each of you as soon as we know the date, place, and time. It is extremely important that each of you make every effort to attend this meeting to help ensure that the safety of our families and the value of our homes be maintained. All of you have been very generous in the willingness to help in this cause. Many of you know Mr. Harrington and other members of the Baptist Medical Center Board. Please contact these individuals and let them know of our plight and solicit their help. Each of you can make a significant contribution. Constance S. Miller �1 Harry Blair August 17, 1994 Mr. Russell D. Harrington, Jr. Chairman Baptist Medical Systems'Board 11221 Shenandoah Valley Drive Little Rock, AR 72212 Dear Mr. Harrington: We are writing to you as homeowners on St. Michael Drive and LaSalle Drive whose property is adjacent to Parkway Village on Chenal Parkway. There are 23 homes which are now dealing with the construction on Parkway Village property. As we understand, plans are being made, delayed and changed for more construction. What a surprise it was for all the homeowners who bought property next to you, assuming that whatever future development that Parkway Village did would be quiet and done with taste and discretion and with consideration of your neighbors. We found it unbelievable that a heavy construction road was being built behind our houses, with huge trucks and dirt moving equipment going up and down seven days a week from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. At first the noise began at 6 A.M., even on weekends until we complained. We were told that this was a temporary road and would be used until October or November of 1994 and then restored to the way the power easement was before the construction. Promises were made to enhance the property with Bradford pear trees and berms, seeded with grass, etc. Now we are told that the continued construction will last 2 to 4 years and the construction road would be used for 5 to 10 years. We were misled. The mystery to all of us is why Parkway Village chose to use this route and build this road costing many thousands of dollars instead of going out to Chenal either on your own property or building a temporary road for about 100 yards from the construction site to the parkway. Instead, someone made the decision to tear up the property behind these private homes with complete disregard for the homeowners. We have had noise, dust, and water problems because of the road, not to mention the very real security problem and eyesore created by the road. There are unauthorized vehicles on the road at night, even when the chain is in place. The four wheel vehicles can manage to get in and drive up and down behind our houses. This road has substantially affected the resale value of our properties. Many of us are faced with absorbing the cost of cleaning, recaulking and repainting our homes due to damage already caused by the dust. We cannot open our windows or use our backyards for recreation because of the dust. As homeowners it saddens us that Parkway Village would do such a thing and all of our efforts to discuss this with Parkway Village have not been received with understanding and cooperation. In fact, we believe that the persons making the decisions have absolutely no regard whatsoever for us, your neighbors. At one point we were told that Parkway management "had enough problems on their side of the road" and we would have to discuss our concerns with the builders. As responsible Board Members, we ask you to investigate whether or not the persons making these decisions have spent thousands of dollars unnecessarily. What was done makes no sense. Now that further construction is planned, very far from the entrance on Loyola, the expense of maintaining this road according to city restrictions, is going to become a factor to be carefully studied by you as property owners. It is our belief that a temporary road onto Chenal Parkway can be easily accomplished. We believe that the City will cooperate in every way with you on this. We have been told that there must be egress lanes built, but there is no egress lane at Loyola. There should be some way to work this out. We hope that this letter will bring to your attention the problems that Parkway has created for these homeowners, your neighbors. We have contacted the city on several occasions and they are willing to help any way they can. Everyone who has been out here is appalled at the destruction. It has been suggested that we contact the newspapers to do a story on the project and that we seek legal help. We choose not to do this at this time. We hope you, the Board, will solve this problem that Parkway Village has created. We are sure that your retirement residents would be concerned at the way Parkway Village has handled their money. We will appreciate any response from you. Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter.

This can be accomplished through a construction access, or through regular hand -sweeping of Loyola Drive at the intersection of the haul road access. 3) Removal of the access road is scheduled after the completion of Parkway Heights. After the access road is removed, the Contractor is required to return the topography in the vicinity of the existing 48" storm drain to pre - development contours. Specifically, the area of the storm drainage should be swaled to accommodate off-site drainage entering from the north, and should be sloped to the south to insure that no ponding occurs. 4) Access control for the haul road is the responsibility of the Contractor during construction. The City and residents immediately north of the project site are concerned about unauthorized access by others, and steps should be taken to provide reasonable restrictions to use. Attachment 6/14/94 White-Daters and Associates, Inc. Page two 5) Erosion control notes identified in Excavation Permit RT#94017 are applicable. Referring to Note #1, the Contractor shall apply fertilizer, seed and mulch, as applicable, to all irregular berms constructed along the access route. Many of these berms have been shaped and are now complete, and mulch and other revegetation practices should commence immediately. Please contact this office at your convenience if you have any questions or comments regarding the above conditions to your Excavation Permit.

Mr. & Mrs. Charles Miller - St. Michaels Subdivision ' THIS LETTER WAS ALSO ADDRESSED AND MAILED DIRECTLY TO LARRY LAZENBY AND MARCIA CUNNINGHAM (PARKWAY VILLAGE) WITH ORJTGINAL SIGNATURES OF ALI< HOMEOWNERS August 17, 1994 Mr. Russell D. Harrington, Jr. Chairman Baptist Medical Systems'Board 11221 Shenandoah Valley Drive Little Rock, AR 72212 Dear Mr. Harrington: We are writing to you as homeowners on St. Michael Drive and LaSalle Drive whose property is adjacent to Parkway Village on Chenal Parkway. There are 23 homes which are now dealing with the construction on Parkway Village property. As we understand, plans are being made, delayed and changed for more construction. What a surprise it was for all the homeowners who bought property next to you, assuming that whatever future development that Parkway Village did would be quiet and done with taste and discretion and with consideration of your neighbors. We found it unbelievable that a heavy construction road was being built behind our houses, with huge trucks and dirt moving equipment going up and down seven days a week from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. At first the noise began at 6 A.M., even on weekends until we complained. We were told that this was a temporary road and would be used until October or November of 1994 and then restored to the way the power easement was before the construction. Promises were made to enhance the property with Bradford pear trees and berms, seeded with grass, etc. Now we are told that the continued construction will last 2 to 4 years and the construction road would be used for 5 to 10 years. We were misled. The mystery to all of us is why Parkway Village chose to use this route and build this road costing many thousands of dollars instead of going out to Chenal either on your own property or building a temporary road for about 100 yards from the construction site to the parkway. Instead, someone made the decision to tear up the property behind these private homes with complete disregard for the homeowners. We have had noise, dust, and water problems because of the road, not to mention the very real security problem and eyesore created by the road. There are unauthorized vehicles on the road at night, even when the chain is in place. The four wheel vehicles can manage to get in and drive up and down behind our houses. This road has substantially affected the resale value of our properties. Many of us are faced with absorbing the cost of cleaning, recaulking and repainting our homes due to damage already caused by the dust. We cannot open our windows or use our backyards for recreation because of the dust. As homeowners it saddens us that Parkway Village would do such a thing and all of our efforts to discuss this with Parkway Village have not been received with understanding and cooperation. In fact, we believe that the persons making the decisions have absolutely no regard whatsoever for us, your neighbors. At one point we were told that Parkway management "had enough problems on their side of the road" and we would have to discuss our concerns with the builders. As responsible Board Members, we ask you to investigate whether or not the persons making these decisions have spent thousands of dollars unnecessarily. What was done makes no sense. Now that further construction is planned, very far from the entrance on Loyola, the expense of maintaining this road according to city restrictions, is going to become a factor to be carefully studied by you as property owners. It is our belief that a temporary road onto Chenal Parkway can be easily accomplished. We believe that the City will cooperate in every way with you on this. We have been told that there must be egress lanes built, but there is no egress -lane at Loyola. There should be some way to work this out. We hope that this letter will bring to your attention the problems that Parkway has created for these homeowners, your neighbors. We have contacted the city on several occasions and they are willing to help any way they can. Everyone who has been out here is appalled at the destruction. It has been suggested that we contact the newspapers to do a story on the project and that we seek legal help. We choose not to do this at this time. We hope you, the Board, will solve this problem that Parkway Village has created. We are sure that your retirement residents would be concerned at the way Parkway Village has handled their money. We will appreciate any response from you. Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter.

Harrington, Jr. Chairman Baptist Medical Systems Board 11221 Shenandoah Valley Drive Little Rock, AR 72212 Re: Property at 14009 St. Michael Drive Little Rock, AR 72211 Dear Mr. Harrington: I write to you as the homeowner of the property at 14009 St. Michael Drive in Little Rock. I am one of many homeowners whose property is adjacent to Parkway Retirement Village. Until my departure from Little Rock on July 1, 1994, I endured, like my neighbors, the frustration, annoyance, and inconvenience of the construction road built by Parkway Village behind my property. However, these items pale in comparison to the serious financial impact this road has had, and is continuing to have, on me and my family. My house has been on the market since the third week of April. It remains unsold. This has been a matter of both surprise and increasing concern to me and my realtor. St. Michael is a "hot" area where houses turn over quickly. The house is only three years old and is finely constructed. It is competitively priced with other houses in the area. Nevertheless, we have received no offers. Many would-be buyers have expressed concern about the road, and it has become increasingly apparent that it is a major deterrent to the sale. In short, Mr. Harrington, the value of my property is being driven down by the road. I can no longer stand idly by while this violation to my financial security continues to occur. I am asking that you take immediate steps to re -locate the road. If not, I will have no choice but to put this matter in the hands of my attorney. Yours truly, "Millar KennethI. Date: August 21, 1994 To: Concerned Homeowners From: Constance S. Miller Harry Blair Subject: Access Road of Parkway Village Last week you were very supportive in taking steps to ensure that the security which we all covet be maintained for the protection of us and our children. Your action hopefully will also ensure that our property values will be protected in the near future. The attached is a copy of a letter that was mailed last Friday morning to Mr. Russell D. Harrington, Jr., Ms. Marcia Cunningham, Director of Parkway Village, and her superior, Mr. Larry Lazenby, Mr. Steve Loop and Mr. Harold Ford with the City of Little Rock. A copy was also mailed today to Mr. Michael Keck, City Director and a copy delivered to Dennis Sullivan, President of our St. Charles Community Association, Inc. We understand that Mr. Loop is in the process of scheduling a meeting to include all parties involved. We will contact each of you as soon as we know the date, place, and time. It is extremely important that each of you make every effort to attend this meeting to help ensure that the safety of our families and the value of our homes be maintained. All of you have been very generous in the willingness to help in this cause. Many of you know Mr. Harrington and other members of the Baptist Medical Center Board. Please contact these individuals and let them know of our plight and solicit their help. Each of you can make a significant contribution. Constance S.

Harrington, Jr., Larry Lazenby and Marcia Cunningham. As you can determine, we are very concerned about the length of time the temporary access road, at the rear of the Village's property, will be used. Several of us were told that the road was temporary and would be used only until the current phase of construction was completed. The city was also led to believe it was a temporary road because they issued only a temporary permit. We were told that the completion would be sometime in October or November of this year and that the road would be removed and the area would be seeded and landscaped. We were assured that it would be much more attractive than before the temporary road was built. The major concern of all of us is that of maintaining security for our families. Since the temporary road has been opened, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Holmes at 14301 St. Michael Drive have been burglarized. The police determined that the burglar came down across the temporary road, broke a rear window, and entered the rear of their home. You can imagine the concern we have about this. We have enough problems with burglars coming down our public streets and robbing us from the front of our homes. Just imagine what problems were going to have if that temporary road remains behind our homes. Another real concern is making sure that the value of our homes is maintained. Already one of our neighbors has suffered monetary damage because of this temporary road. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Millar's home at 14009 St. Michael Drive has been on the market for four months (120 days) and they have yet to receive the first offer. Homes in our area that are listed for sale between $160,000 and $199,999 have an average marketing time of 72 days. On average, these homes have sold for 95-100% of the list price. The above figures were compiled by the Central Arkansas Regional Multiple Listing System for the period 6/1193 through 6130194. Mr. Lyndell Lay August 24, 1994 Page Two We would appreciate your consideration in helping to see that the temporary road be removed and the area landscaped as soon as possible. This would help assure us that Parkway Village does have their neighbors' interest in mind by helping make our homes and the Village more secure and by helping us maintain the value of our homes. We, as neighbors and homeowners, would welcome the opportunity of meeting with your Board, or the Board of Directors of Parkway Village. Please advise me of your recommendation concerning this request. Respectfully, Harry Blar Enclosure cc: Russell D. Harrington, Jr. Larry Lazenby Marcia Cunningham August 17, 1994 Mr. Russell D.

This development was approved by the Planning Commission and Board of Directors involving specific development plans. These plans in the several phases have not indicated the use of the power line easement as a haul road, temporary or otherwise. Our investigation thus far reveals that it will be necessary to bring this matter to a public hearing before the Planning Commission and perhaps the City Board of Directors. This is required if the Parkway Village development wishes to use the haul road for any period of time. Mr. Harrington and others as necessary, will be notified that a revision of their plan is required and will be offered the procedure for doing so. Notice to adjoining owners will be given prior to the hearing (to owners within 200 feet) in order to allow time for all parties to be present and present their concerns. If you have questions concerning revision of the plan or other issues, do not hesitate to call this office.

BOX 21664 LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72221-1664 Jim Lawson City Hall 500 East Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 September 16, 1994 RE: Effect of temporary construction road in use by the construction company for Parkway Village on residents of St. Michael, in the St. Charles Addition of the City of Little Rock. Dear Mr. Lawson: The St. Charles Community Association, Inc. would like to request that the temporary road that is being used for construction of new units at Parkway Heights be closed and the permit revoked ( Excavation permit RT#94017. ) Additionally we would like to request that removal of this access road begin promptly and that all construction traffic should be brought into Parkway Heights off of Chenal Parkway. A little over a year ago Baptist Medical Systems began work on a new phase of Parkway Village called Parkway Heights. A dirt construction road was graded about 40 feet from the back yards of homeowners on St. Michael and LaSalle Dr. on the north side of property belonging to BMS. Heavy construction traffic began almost immediately using this dirt road to access the construction area. Initially residents made contact with a Mrs. Marcia Cunningham of Parkway Village to express their displeasure with the placement of the construction road so close the their back yards. The road, they were told, was temporary and would be used until around October or November of 1994 when unit construction would be complete. The road was to be removed at that time and the site repaired. Residents were unhappy with the dust and noise from the trucks but wanted to be good neighbors and agreed that temporarily this could be tolerated. Recently Baptist Medical announced plans to build more retirement units in Parkway Heights. Follow up letters and calls revealed that the so called "temporary access road" was.again to be used for the construction entrance in the newly planned phases. Residents of St. Michael were also horrified to learn that construction of these units could last from 5 to 10 years depending upon the length of time required to market and sell the development. A group of homeowners, headed up by Mr. Harry Blair of 14211 St: Michael Drive and Connie Miller of 14205 St. Michael Dr. have written many letters and made many phone calls to resolve this problem. Homeowners met recently with representatives of Baptist to request that a new construction road be brought into Parkway Heights off Chenal Parkway. Cost to construct a new road became central in the negotiations. Homeowners were ask to show how this road could be constructed without a tremendous expenditure of money being laid out. Needless to say the group could not do this- nor should they have. to! The cost of road construction is of no concern to the home owners. What is of concern to them is that extended construction and use of this road will adversely effect property values in the area. Enclosed is a packet of correspondence both to and from St. Michael residents. Please note the primary concerns of St. Michael residents are as follows: *security concerns due to unauthorized use of road for a recent burglary *adverse effect on homes that back up to construction site and in particular those that have been on the real estate market for extended periods of time *potential loss of property value if these homes do sell at a discounted rate *safety for children at play in their own back yards *noise, dust and eyesore of road in an area zoned for single and multi family use only *apparent change in plans to use road for extended time period now despite residential opposition to this and a verbal commitment to discontinue use after a year. * disregard of Parkway Village management for quality of fife of those residents who must live next to the construction road. I would like to point out that the term "temporary road" most certainly cannot be applied to a road that will be left in use for 5 to 10 years. Also, the surface of the road has been black topped in some areas. A street that is properly platted, planned, set back, curbed, drained and approved by Neighborhoods and Planning should be in use for this greatly extended time frame. Residents are being subjected to heavy truck traffic in their own back yard with no benefit of zoning. Zoning laws in the City of Little Rock are very effective in protecting property owners from improper uses and developments of property. ?hese zoning laws are also effective in protecting property values. Mr. Lawson, the St. Charles Community Association is concerned that this temporary construction road is having negative impact on the market value of the homes in St. Michael. Further, it is our contention that this road is not a temporary road any longer and the construction excavation permit should be revoked, Please contact me at your earliest convenience regarding our request to close this access road.

As I mentioned in the meeting, we are instructing you to take further actions to wet down three times a day or finish paving the 1200 foot strip used for access to Parkway Village construction. As you know, only half of the access road was constructed and still causes dust problems. As of March 1, 1995, you will not be allowed to use this access road. Prior to March 1, 1995, you may use the road as long as it is either wetted or asphalted. You may apply for an extension of time from the City through an amendment to your "PRD." Since we understood this temporary access would only be through November, it is more than reasonable to allow you until March before you need an extension of time from the City through the "PRD." A simple amendment can be requested which would give you time to complete your current projects or future projects that would take access to this road. City staff can do further review on the best access and have input from the neighborhood as we go forward with this proposal. Please let me know if you need any further information. You may contact Bob -Sims at the Neighborhoods and Planning Department, 371-4790 in order to apply for an amendment to the "PRD" to allow access for your construction.

At present, this situation has also increased the traffic hazard being experienced at the intersections of Loyola, and Chenal and Parkway Place and Chenal. I have personally witnessed three wrecks at the Loyola intersection and Bob Reynolds has witnessed four wrecks at this intersection over the past six months. We understand that there were two additional wrecks at this intersection last Friday, one serious with bodily injuries (September 16, 1994). There is no deceleration lane on Chenal at the Loyola intersection. All construction traffic must decelerate on Chenal to turn onto Loyola. The only existing deceleration lane along a several mile stretch of the west lane of Chenal is at the entrance of Parkway Village (Attachment A). This would be the safest entrance along the four mile long stretch of Chenal for heavy construction vehicles to enter and exit the construction site. The intersection of Chenal and Loyola is a very busy intersection that frequently has auto accidents. I feel strongly that if police records were checked, this intersection would show a high accident rate. Construction traffic slowing to use this route can only increase the hazard. I have attached several items of correspondence to give you the background covering our plight. I would very much appreciate You furnishing me .information concerning accidents that have happened at these dangerous intersections. Thank you for your cooperation. Sinc rely, r R Harry air cc: Michael Keck Jim Lawson Tim Polk Sherman Smith Steve Loop DATE: October 19, 1994 TO: Concerned Homeowners St. Michael and La Salle FROM: Harry Blair iee On the morning of September 28, 1994 our Committee of Homeowners (Wendy Allen, Anne Borg, Executive Director of Si. Charles Property Owners P.-_s_ciation, Constance Miller, Bob Reynolds and I met with Larry Lazenby, Marcia Cunningham and Earl Paul of Parkway Village to discuss the problems caused by Parkway Village's temporary road behind St. Michael Subdivision. Also present at that meeting were Tim Polk, Acting Director Department of Neighborhoods and Planning, Sherman Smith and Steve Loop, Engineering Division, City of Little Rock, Michael Keck, Director, City of Little Rock and Jim Lawson, Interim Assistant City Manager, City of Little Rock. Jim Hardin and Rick Terry represented Baldwin & Shell Contractors. The results of the meeting was that the City is going to allow the Village to use the existing temporary haul road through March of next year (1995). For the Village to extend the use of the road beyond March 1995, they will be required to file another Overall Master Plan of the development showing this haul road and any other haul roads behind the residents located on the south side of La Salle. It is our understanding that the Village plans to submit this revised plan to the City Planning Commission sometime the first of next year. It is our sincere desire and hope that the Planning Commission will use good judgement and reject their submission. If their submission is rejected, the Village will then remove the temporary haul road and landscape the area. If the Planning Commission does not reject their submission then the final rejection or approval will be in the hands of our City Directors. It is our committee's opinion that we had several allies attending this September 28, 1994 meeting. Some with the City Engineering Department as well as Michael Keck and Jim Lawson. Both Mr. Keck and Mr. Lawson have assured us that they will keep us informed of any new developments concerning Parkway Village's actions concerning their future plans. As all of you know Michael Keck is up for re-election as our City Director. Mike has taken a real interest on our behalf concerning this problem. We need to help assure Mike's re-election so he can continue to help us solve this very real problem that is causing the deterioration of our property values and threatening the security of our families and homes. t i September 16, 1994 Mr. Michael Keck, Director Board of Directors City of Little Rock 500 West Markham, Room #203 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Keck, As homeowners of Little Rock, we would like to take this opportunity to solicit your help in solving a very serious situation that is threatening us and our families as well as hundreds of other families owning homes in the West Little Rock St. Charles area. Last year the Public Works Department of the City of Little Rock issued a permit to Parkway Village to install a temporary road at the rear of their property for construction of the current phase of their development. Parkway Village is a retirement development located on the north side of Chenal Parkway. The City as well as the St. Charles homeowners adjacent to the Village, were told that this temporary road would be used only for the period of time it took to complete the current phase of development, which they estimated would be completed sometime in October or November of this year (1994). We, the City and St. Charles residents were told and Parkway Village acknowledged that at completion of this phase of construction, they would remove the temporary road and landscape the area, assuring the St. Charles residents that the area would be more attractive than it was previous to the construction of the temporary road. Earlier this year several of our homeowners met at the site with members of the City engineering and permit department and members of the construction company involved in building the temporary road and the construction of the last building to be built in this phase of the development. The construction company acknowledged that this phase was supposed to be completed some time around the end of this year, but due to delays beyond their control, they now estimate construction to be completed in approximately eight months (May or June 1995). We, the homeowners, understood and were considerate of the Village's problems with the delays and demonstrated our responsibilities as good neighbors by agreeing not to object to the use of this temporary road for the remaining eight months of construction, provided all parties would abide by paragraph #3 of Mr. Steve Loop's letter dated June 14, 1994 (Attachment A). Mr. Michael Keck September 16, 1994 Page Two The next day following this meeting we were told by the City engineers that the Village intended to use this temporary road for an additional period of five to ten years. This prompted our initial letters dated August 17, 1994 to Mr. Russell D. Harrington, President of Baptist Medical Systems, Mr. Larry Lazenby and Ms. Marcia Cunningham of Parkway Village (Attachment B). On August 24, 1994 I met with Mr. Lyndell Lay, Director of the Baptist Medical Systems Board, and informed him of our concern in my letter dated August 14, 1994 (Attachment C). As suggested by Mr. Lay, I immediately requested a meeting with Mr. Lazenby. Mr. Lazenby, Ms. Cunningham, Mr. Bob Reynolds (14117 St. Michael) and I met Friday morning September 9th. At this meeting Mr. Lazenby informed us that they did not want to use the Village's main entrances on Chenal because it would disturb their residents. The City would, however, allow the Village to construct an entrance off ChenaI but would require a deceleration lane at this entrance to help prevent auto accidents. The City suggested another alternative was a temporary road off Loyola. There is no deceleration lane on Chenal at the Loyola intersection. All construction traffic must decelerate on Chenal to turn onto Loyola. The only existing deceleration lane along a several mile stretch of the west lane of Chenal is at the entrance of Parkway Village. This would be the safest entrance along the four mile long stretch of Chenal for heavy construction vehicles to enter and exit the construction site. The intersection of Chenal and Loyola is a very busy intersection that frequently has auto accidents. As recently as this morning there was a serious accident and bodily injuries were sustained. I feel strongly that if police records were checked, this intersection would show a high accident rate. Construction traffic slowing to use this route can only increase the hazards. Being a homeowner you can appreciate our anxiety about the security problem this temporary road creates. The major concern of all of us is that of maintaining security for our families. Since the temporary road has been opened, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Holmes at 14301 St. Michael Drive have been burglarized. The police determined that the burglar came down across the temporary road, broke a rear window, and entered the rear of their home. You can imagine the concern we have about this. We have enough problems with burglars coming down our public streets and robbing us from the front of our homes. Just imagine what problems we're going to have if that temporary road remains behind our homes. Mr. Michael Keck September 16, 1994 Page Three Another real concern is making sure that the value of our homes is maintained. Already one of our previous neighbors, Mr. Ken Millar, has had his home at 14009 St. Michael on the market now for five months (145 days) and he has yet to receive the first offer. His home backs up to this temporary road. Homes in our area that are listed for sale between $160,000 and $199,999 have an average marketing time of 72 days. On average, these homes have sold for 95100% of the list price. The above figures were compiled by the Central Arkansas Regional Multiple Listing System for the period 6/1/93 through 6/30/94. If these properties are sold at these depreciated values this will have a detrimental effect on the value of all homes located in the St. Charles area. These depreciated sales will be used as comparables by appraisers valuing other homes in our neighborhood that will, in the future, be put on the market for sale. Most recently in a letter to Mr. Harrington dated September 12th we again asked that he and his board realize and appreciate the genuine concerns we as neighbors and homeowners, have in trying to keep our families and homes safe and secure, and at the same time make sure that the value of our homes be maintained. We as citizens of Little Rock ask that you join with the City engineer and permit staffs in seeing that the temporary road be removed after completion of this phase construction which is estimated to be completed sometime next spring (May or June 1995). Your actions will help restore the amenities that all of your citizens desire and covet. These bring the security of our families and homes and the maintaining of the value of our biggest investment, our homes. We know you share our concerns. We solicit and will appreciate your help in this request.

The City visited the site on or about 6/6/94. Based results of that visit, on the the City amends Excavation Permit RT#94017 to include the work identified in the 5/27/94 submittals. The following conditions are applicable: 1) Dust control must be provided for the haul road for the duration of its use. At a minimum, the road at least three times daily, Contractor shall water necessary, during use. y, and more frequently when 2) Control off-site tracking to Loyola Drive. This can be accomplished through a construction access, or through regular hand -sweeping of Loyola Drive at the intersection of the haul road access. 3) Removal of the access road is scheduled after the completion of Parkway Heights. After the access road is removed, the Contractor is required to return the topography in the vicinity of the existing 48" storm drain to development contours. SpecifiPre- cally, the area of the storm drainage should be swaled to accommodate off-site drainage entering from the north, and should be sloped to the south to insure that no ponding occurs. 4) Access control for the haul road is the responsibility of the Contractor during construction. The City and residents immediately north of the project site are concerned about unauthorized access by others, and steps should be taken to provide reasonable restrictions to use. Attachment A 6/14/94 White-Daters and Associates, Inc. Page two 5) Erosion control notes identified in Excavation Permit RT#94017 are applicable. Referring to Note #1, the Contractor shall apply fertilizer, seed and mulch, as applicable, to all irregular berms constructed along the access route. Many of these berms have been shaped and are now complete, and mulch and other revegetation practices should commence immediately.

Miller Harry Blair ` Attachment B a August 17, 1994 Mr. Russell D. Harrington, Jr. Chairman Baptist Medical Systems'Board 11221 Shenandoah Valley Drive Little Rock, AR 72212 Dear Mr. Harrington: We are writing to you as homeowners on St. Michael Drive and LaSalle Drive whose property is adjacent to Parkway Village on Chenal Parkway. There are 23 homes which are now dealing with the construction on Parkway Village property. As we understand, plans are being made, delayed and changed for more construction. What a surprise it was for all the homeowners who bought property next to you, assuming that whatever future development that Parkway Village did would be quiet and done with taste and discretion and with consideration of your neighbors. We found it unbelievable that a heavy construction road was being built behind our houses, with huge trucks and dirt moving equipment going up and down seven days a week from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. At first the noise began at 6 A.M., even on weekends until we complained. We were told that this was a temporary road and would be used until October or November of 1994 and then restored to the way the power easement was before the construction. Promises were made to enhance the property with Bradford pear trees and berms, seeded with grass, etc. Now we are told that the continued construction will last 2 to 4 years and the construction road would be used for 5 to 10 years. We were misled. The mystery to all of us is why Parkway Village chose to use this route and build this road costing many thousands of dollars instead of going out to Chenal either on your own property or building a temporary road for about 100 yards from the construction site to the parkway. Instead, someone made the decision to tear up the property behind these private homes with complete disregard for the homeowners. We have had noise, dust, and water problems because of the road, not to mention the very real security problem and eyesore created by the road. There are unauthorized vehicles on the road at night, even when the chain is in place. The four wheel vehicles can manage to get in and drive up and down behind our houses. V� This road has substantially affected the resale value of our properties. Many of us are faced with absorbing the cost of cleaning, recaulking and repainting our homes due to damage already caused by the dust. We cannot open our windows or use our backyards for recreation because of the dust. As homeowners it saddens us that Parkway Village would do such a thing and all of our efforts to discuss this with Parkway Village have not been received with understanding and cooperation. In fact, we believe that the persons making the decisions have absolutely no regard whatsoever for us, your neighbors. At one point we were told that Parkway management "had enough problems on their side of the road" and we would have to discuss our concerns with the builders. As responsible Board Members, we ask you to investigate whether or not the persons making these decisions have spent thousands of dollars unnecessarily. What was done makes no sense. Now that further construction is planned, very far from the entrance on Loyola, the expense of maintaining this road according to city restrictions, is going to become a factor to be carefully studied by you as property owners. It is our belief that a temporary road onto Chenal Parkway can be easily accomplished. We believe that the City will cooperate in every way with you on this. We have been told that there must be egress lanes built, but there is no egress lane at Loyola. There should be some way to work this out. We hope that this letter will bring to your attention the problems that Parkway has created for these homeowners, your neighbors. We have contacted the city on several occasions and they are willing to help any way they can. Everyone who has been out here is appalled at the destruction. It has been suggested that we contact the newspapers to do a story on the project and that we seek legal help. We choose not to do this at this time. We hope you, the Board, will solve this problem that Parkway Village has created. We are sure that your retirement residents would be concerned at the way Parkway Village has handled their money. We will appreciate any response from you. Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter.
