BACKGROUND:
FT. NEW STREET: 4,500 LF
Ordinance No. 15,437 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 16,
1988, established the Springtree Village Long -form PD -R. The approval included the
development of 61 zero -lot line homes in two phases. The site included 1.5 acres of
open space the developer would maintain until the City requested the area be dedicated
as public open space.
Ordinance No. 16,490 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on September 21,
1993, revised the previously approved PD -R to allow Lots 1 and 4 of the Springtree
Village Subdivision to install a metal patio cover over an existing concrete patio, fence
the rear yard, move the rear building line from the location platted to coincide with the
FILE NO.: Z -4969-D Cont.)
rear open space and utility easement and construct a metal storage building three feet
off the rear and south property lines.
Ordinance No. 19,524 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on May 2, 2006,
revised the previously approved Planned Residential Development to allow
18 previously platted lots to develop with 11 detached single-family homes. A request
to revise the previously platted building lines was also approved which established zero
lot line lots as a part of the original approval. The replat would include a 25 -foot front
platted building line with setbacks as established by the Zoning Ordinance or 25 -foot
rear yard and side yard setbacks of 10 percent of the width of the lot not to exceed eight
feet.
A. PROPOSAUREQUEST:
The applicant is now proposing a revision to the previously approved Planned
Residential Development to allow the expansion of the previously approved
zoning area. The current request includes the creation of 100 single-family lots
contained on 29.34 acres located to the south and east of the previously
approved area. The site plan indicates the homes will be constructed in four
phases with 12 lots in the first phase, 31 lots in the second phase, 23 lots in the
third phase and 34 lots in the final phase. Existing City streets, which were
previously stubbed -out, will be constructed to allow additional accesses to the
subdivision.
The lots are indicated with an average lot size of 70 -feet by 115 -feet and a
minimum lot size of 70 -feet by 104 -feet. Setbacks are proposed with a 25 -foot
front building line, a 25 -foot rear yard setback and side yard setbacks of
10 percent of the lot width not to exceed eight feet. A maximum builidable area
of 3,000 square feet is proposed.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The area is vacant with a scattering of trees. There are several homes, which
have been constructed in the subdivision located to the north. In the general
area there are a number of new single-family homes and new single-family
subdivisions currently being developed.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (November 16, 2006)
The applicant was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the proposed request indicating there were a few outstanding issues
associated with the request. Staff requested the applicant provide a detailed bill
of assurance for the proposed subdivision. Staff also requested the applicant
2
FILE NO.: Z -4969-D (Cont.
provide the minimum square footage of the homes proposed for construction and
the proposed building materials. Staff stated the request was a rezoning from
R-2 and OS to PD -R expanding the previously approved Planned Development
zoning area.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated traffic claming devices
were required along straight streets. Staff stated traffic circles or round -abouts
were suggested at regular intervals. Staff requested the developer verify the
sight distances at intersections. Staff also stated the storm water detention
ordinance applied to the development of the property. Staff stated sidewalks
should be installed along Springtree Drive and Springtree Circle. The Committee
indicated the sidewalks should be placed at the back of the right of way and not
at the back of the curb.
Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and
agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional information
and clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee
then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing most of the issues
raised at the November 16, 2006, Subdivision Committee meeting. The
applicant has indicated minimum square footage of the homes, the proposed
building materials, provided a certification of the sight distances at intersections
and indicated traffic calming devises along the straight streets. The minimum
square footage of the homes proposed is 1,000 square feet of heated and cooled
space. The proposed building materials are brick, wood and/or siding.
The request includes a revision to the previously approved Planned Residential
Development to allow an expansion of the total land area of the previously
approved zoning area. The current request includes the creation of 100 single-
family lots contained on 29.34 acres located to the south and east of the
previously approved PDR site. The site plan indicates the homes will be
constructed in four phases with 12 lots in the first phase, 31 lots in the second
phase, 23 lots in the third phase and 34 lots in the final phase. Existing City
streets, which were previously stubbed -out, will be constructed to allow additional
accesses to the subdivision.
The lots are indicated with an average lot size of 70 -feet by 115 -feet
(8,050 square feet) and a minimum lot size of 70 -feet by 104 -feet (7,280 square
feet). Setbacks are proposed with a 25 -foot front building line, a 25 -foot rear
yard setback and side yard setbacks of 10 percent of the lot width not to exceed
eight feet. A maximum builidable area of 3,000 square feet is being proposed.
The site plan indicates fences will not be constructed by the home -builder but
have been indicated to allow the future homeowners to place a fence if they
5
FILE NO.: Z -4969-D (Cont.)
desire. The fences will be placed along the side and rear yards of the new
homes as typically allowed in single-family developments.
Staff is supportive of the proposed request. The applicant is proposing the
development of single-family homes through a planned residential development
district consistent with single-family development per the Subdivision Ordinance.
Staff feels the lots as proposed allow for adequate outdoor living area. The site
is currently zoned R-2 and OS and identified as Single-family on the City's Future
Land Use Plan. The request includes the development of homes at a 3.4 unit per
acre density, which is consistent with the density allowed per the Single-family
Land Use Designation and is typical of new single-family subdivisions developing
in the area. To staff's knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated
with the request. Staff feels the development of new homes in the area will not
significantly impact the adjoining property owners.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the above
agenda staff report.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (DECEMBER 7, 2006)
