Meeting Date: March 15, 1985 1� Item No.: (Z-4416) r e Dame Re uest: Holiday Inn West Little Rock "Short -form PCD",/—P Location: S.E. corner of West Markham and Shackleford Developer/Engineer: Robert M. Goff/Wittenberg, Deloney & Davidson, Inc. Existing Status: Vacant Proposed Use: Hotel Staff Recommendation: Approval, subject to resolution of traffic problems with Engineering. Engineering reported at the meeting that an agreement had been reached where the northernmost curb -cut on Shackleford would be reduced. At the Agenda Session, the planning staff felt that the Commission should look at the possibility of a platted access easement on the west side of the tract on Markham and to reducing access to only one principal drive on Shackleford, limiting northernmost curb -cut to Sterling Plaza. At the meeting, staff modified its position to that of Engineering. Planninq Commission Recommendation: Approval of the "PCD" with modification in the site plan to reflect the comments offered. These were: a circulation plan tying all adjoining lots with drives and easements; providing an access easement along the north line of hotel site so as to allow potential access to Markham at a later date; reducing the common access drive at Sterling Plaza to a lessor standard but maintaining left turn capability.
