STATEMENTOF PROPOSAL:
A site development consisting of a single building
development structure located an the south half of the site.
The property consists of a larger body of land fronting an
State Highway 10 of approximately 400 feet of frontage with
an ell connecting with Taylor Loop Road on the east. There
are proposed two points of ingresslegress to the site. The
parcel size at 5.9 acres proposes 221 parking spaces to
the
serve the total building area of 47,675 square feet,
first phase of which will consist of 38,500 square feet; the
balance being 9,175 square feet in Phase II for future
construction. The building coverage is 18.5%.
The plan includes a large buffer along the south property
line adjacent to Westchester Subdivision. The buffer,
generally, consists of 75 feet, plus or minus, undisturbed
buffer with some area of enhanced buffer in the area of
construction or grade change. The west property line

provides for a 30 foot buffer with existing and new
landscaped area proposed. The structure will be serviced on
the east side of the building with a truck dock that will be
visible from the east property line only. An 8 foot board
fence will be erected along the east property line and will
follow the inside buffer boundary along the physical
improvements from the east to the west property line. The
dumpster and trash area will be located at the southeast
corner of the building and will be screened by a wall. A
service drive of 30 feet variable will be provided around
the building running from the west to the east side, thereby
permitting vehicular circulation around the entire
structure.
The ell, or stub access, to Taylor Loop Road will consist of
a 30 foot plus driveway with designed intersection at Taylor
Loop Road. The land area adjacent to this drive will be
totally landscaped areas. There will be no parking or
structural involvement.
Along State Highway 10, there +s proposed a 40 foot
landscape buffer from the property line to the line of the
first row of parking spaces.
The owner has submitted a landscaping proposal as well as
illustrative cross-sections and site development data,
including a grading plan. A preliminary plat has been
submitted to run with this item on the agenda for review
(item #4 under Preliminary Plats). The preliminary plat as
drafted indicates the lands that will be re -combined to
create the actual parcel proposed for PCD approval, that
being the easternmost of the two lots. Additional utility
easements, if required, are to be negotiated during the
review process to minimize disturbance to the perimeter of
the site.
The Acadia Markets Corporation, represented by Mr. Richard
B. Robinson, the Construction Director, has submitted an
operational outline which consists of a statement to the
effect that truck deliveries will be coordinated from
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m, seven days a week. All trash
compacting will be done inside the store. All dumpster
pickups will be made between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., Monday
through Saturday. The dumpster will be located in a fenced
area. There will be nothing stored outside of the building.
The parking area clean-up will be done on a regular basis.

A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
This developer proposes a Safeway store to be developed
in two phases, the initial phase at 47,675 square feet,
located on a tract of land containing 5.916 acres,
served by a total of 221 parking spaces and a single
truck loading facility.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
This site currently is occupied by several frame and
stone buildings. There are considerable numbers of
trees and small brush on the site. Some of the area is
cleared and open in the area of the Highway 10
frontage.
C. ENGINEERINGCOMMENTS:
The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department has
Highway 10 under construction currently. The developer
should conform to the requirements of the Detention and
Excavation Ordinance and specific details should be
submitted on the design of the Taylor Loop
intersection.
The Traffic Engineering Section of Public Works
Department has submitted a site plan review dealing
with trip generation, Ingress and egress to the site,
vehicle speed, and increased traffic volumes on Taylor
Loop Road. That report is as follows:
"MEMORANDUM

SUBJ: Proposed Safeway on Cantrell Road
Site Plan Review
DATE: June 6, 1989
As requested by the Planning Commission, we have
completed a review and evaluation of the proposed
Safeway store to be built on Cantrell Road just west of

Taylor Loop Road. This evaluation included the
following tasks:
1. Total daily trips generated by the new
Safeway store.
2. Ingress and egress to the site.
3. Vehicle speed along Cantrell Road and
minimum sight distance requirements.
4. Increased traffic volumes on Taylor Loop Road.

Cantrell Road is being reconstructed and widened to a
five lane section at the present time. This project is
scheduled to be complete in late fall of this year.
Hinson Road will be extended to intersect Taylor Loop
Road just south of this si--te. This project is
scheduled to be complete in late 1989 or early 1990.
The ingress and egress to this site as shown on the
site plan is adequate to properly handle the
5876 vehicle trips per day so long as the access drive
to Taylor Loop Road is maintained. The construction of
an additional driveway off Cantrell Road in lieu of the
access drive to Taylor Loop Road would cause additional
problems at the intersection of Cantrell Road and
Taylor Loop Road.
When the construction on Cantrell Road has been
completed, vehicle speeds on Cantrell Road directly in
front of this development will exceed 45 M.P.H.
Therefore, adequate sight distance is very important
for traffic entering and leaving this site by way of
Cantrell Road. The sight distance between the driveway
on Cantrell Road and east bound traffic is 425 feet,
which is minimum but adequate. There are no sight
distance problems for west bound traffic. The driveway
onto Cantrell Road will operate in a much safer and
more efficient manner if the developer will construct a
deceleration lane for east bound traffic entering the
site.
June 27, 1989
SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 6 (Continued) __., __.. _ _._.........._ ._... .

We believe at least 60% of the daily trips generated by
this development will come from the east and southeast
of the site. If these assumptions are correct,
3525 vehicle trips will reach the site by way of
Cantrell Road and Taylor Loop Road. We also believe
50% of daily trips from the east will reach the site by
way of Taylor Loop Road after Hinson Road has been
extended to intersect with Taylor Loop Road. If this
assumption is correct, this development will increase
traffic volumes of Taylor Loop Road by 1762 vehicle
trips per day. Taylor Loop Road is a 36 foot wide
collector street at the present time. The additional
traffic generated by this development will not cause a
capacity problem on Taylor Loop Road.
We recommend approval of the site plan with the
following stipulation: the access to this site from
Taylor Loop Road should remain and the developer should
be required to construct a deceleration lane to serve
the driveway on Cantrell Road.
Please advise if additional information is needed on
this proposal."
D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN:
The site plan as submitted conforms to the submission
requirements set forth in the PUD ordinance with only
one exception and that being the use should be
clarified further than a statement as a food store. If
this is a full service market, it may very well include
such uses as a florist shop, a branch bank, or a
delicatessen. Those kinds of uses may require separate
privilege licenses, or business licenses, and in order
to issue such, the PCD should clarify that they are
permitted.
E. ANALYSIS:
The Planning Staff and Engineering Staff have
thoroughly reviewed this submittal with respect to all
elements as required by ordinance. We find little or
no concern with the construction of the PCD. The
concerns we will offer deal with the design of the
project and its relationship with its neighbors. Staff
June 27, 1989
SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 6 (Continued)
feels that the following should be accomplished in
order to soften the impact of this commercial
development and its activities upon the adjacent
residential community.
1. Eliminate the rear paved driveway as now proposed
on the plan at 30 -plus feet and replace this drive
with a maximum 10 foot sodded area with an 8 inch
stone base around the south side of the building
beginning at the south point of the truck dock.
The building could be. moved westward somewhat to
accommodate the additional land that could be
gained by reducing the access drive on the west
side of the building to a 20 foot dimension. On
the west side of the building, the fire Department
requires a hard surface drive extending southward
from the parking area to the point where the fire
hydrant is proposed. On the east side of the
building, the trash compaction area and dumpster
could be modified by changing the configuration of
the corner of the building.
2. The current proposed east -to -west eight foot board
fence should be increased to ten feet in height
and moved northward to the new south line of the
rear access area. The eight foot screening fences
along the east and west lines of the site will
remain at eight feet. This fence should consist
of an opaque board fence constructed of redwood or
another permanent type material.
3. A low level lighting plan with shielding away from
the residential area should be presented. This
plan would provide for fighting fixtures below the
top of the ten foot fence and cast to the ground
or the lower portion of the building.
4. Additional plantings should be provided within the
sparsely planted area of the buffer, especially
with respect to the elimination of foliage for
utility areas and drainage work.
5. The building should not only be painted a color to
absorb light, but should be provided as textured
surface to assist in baffling sound.
June 27, 1989
SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 6 (Continued)
g. A specific plan should be presented identifying
the types of trees and shrubs and quantities.
This could be presented in a narrative form rather
than specifically located on the plan.
7. L.imit freestanding signs at the points of entry on
Cantrell and Taylor Loop Road to a monument type
sign at a maximum height of six feet.
8. The light standards in the parking lot on the
Cantrell side of the development should be erected
in such a fashion as to cast light downward and be
shielded from adjacent residential.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Staff recommends approval of this PCD application
conditioned upon modification of the plan to conform
with suggested changes in the above text.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT — (June 15, 1989)
The application was represented by Mr. David Jones, Mr.
Robert Brown and Mr. Wes Lowder. The applicants indicated

for clarification of the ten foot area to be located behind
the building as to its purpose and construction. Mr. Lawson
of the Staff described his discussions with the Fire
Department and their apparent need for access for hosemen to
fight fires behind the building in an unobstructed fashion.
Ten feet was chosen as it would provide such a space.

to the dock without being visible to the neighborhood. This
would also remove a significant percentage of the sound
created. Staff indicated that it felt that a change in the
delivery hours would perhaps be appropriate. This item
would be discussed further with Safeway and the applicant
would be asked to address the subject at the public hearing.
Mr. Jones indicated they would need to discuss the
elimination of the driveway and its redesign with Safeway.
Mr. Brown then inserted several comments on design, these in
response to Engineering Staff and having to do with exit of
the trucks from the site after unloading. Mr. Brown
indicated that they would be exiting onto Taylor Loop Road
in the current design as well as the modified design. He
also pointed out that due to the maneuvering area required
at the front corner of the building, several parking spaces
may be lost, or at least redesigned, to accommodate a larger
turning radius.
An architectural design was then presented and several
eievat'ions of the building. These elevations indicated a
calor scheme somewhat different from that previously offered
by the developer. The building would be horizontally banded
with several colors designed to keep the building "down
It would contain vertical elements such as drainage spouts
which would break up the east/west facade into several
smaller elements. It was pointed out during the discussion
of these elevations that at least a third or more of the
rear building elevation would be blocked from view by the
ten foot board fence. It was further painted out that this
fence would bleach, or weather, over time and would change
to a gray or darker color which would blend with the natural
shady element beneath the trees and the color of the bark on
the larger, mature trees. The architect that presented the
plans indicated that he felt very little of the building
would be observed with the various proposals presented by
the developer to soften this facade. A brief discussion
then followed concerning the infill of additional plantings
along disturbed areas in the buffer area as well as
treatment of those areas scarred by drainage or utility
installation.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (June 27, 1989)
The application was represented by Mr. Wes Lowder and Mr.
Robert Brown of the Mehlburger firm. Mr. Greeson asked that
Jim Lawson of the Planning Staff make a presentation of this
item and the two attached matters dealing with the plat and
the Plan amendment.
Mr. Lawson offered a lengthy history and explanation of this
case and the Highway 10 Plan relative to the intersection of
Taylor Loop Road and Highway 10. He pointed out changes
that have been made in the site plan at the suggestiof
on
Staff and others. He indicated the added buffer depth
the south side of the building, the deletion of the rear
drive and modifications of improvements to drive surface on
both sides of the building. He indicated the change in
hours on the garbage pickup. He closed his comments on the
site plan amendments by pointing out that this site provides
direct access to two arterial streets which is an excellent
relationship for access, and omitting the re6r driveway
assists in the buffer being retained as is as well as
elimination of the truck noise for the neighborhood. Mr.
Lawson then discussed how this use would have been sited on
other properties adjacent. He indicated the pluses and
minuses of several sites adjacent on both sides of Highway
10.
A lengthy discussion of the PCO folloWed with several
acreage of the
Commissioners asking questions concerning
the Plan amendment and its effect on future applications. A
question was asked by Commissioner Schiereth concerning
access to the corner lot from this development site out that
he
adjacent streets. Mr. Lawson responded by pointing

development proposal and that there are landscaped areas
intervening; also, that access would be a concern for this
owner to deal with at such time as a request is made. Mr.
Lawson also pointed out that the City had acquired parcel
additional significant right-of-way from the corner p
in order to enhance the development design for the
intersection atghwy streetoin conjunctionhas
withcommitted
at least
one access to each
acquisition.
Mr. Wes, Lowder, the engineer for the project, made a
presentation. He discussed the project and offered the
revised plans. He stated that there was little more that
could be done in design on this site. He indicated that the
use, in his opinion, was now the primary concern. Mr.
Lowder then asked the architect with his firm to address
the placement of air
questions of the Commission relative to
conditioning and other mechanical units.
Mr. Bourne' answered the questions by stating that at this
time he -,could not specifically -respond to design inasthatmwoulduch s
they.had not cleared that material with Safeway,
be determined at a later point, but that it would be
properly sited and screened.
A question was then posed to Mr. Lowder by Commissioner
Oleson, the question being how Safeway cleans their parking
lot and service areas, at what times of the day.
The
response from Mr. Lowder was Lthat he wanot fa iliar with
the time nor the process that theyemployed,
tt
information could be developed.
Mr. Robert Brown then discussed the dumpsteryand rear area
development of the site, responding to questions concerned
with how the dumpster would be screened and its relationship
to the boundary fences.
Mr. Bourne' responded to questions of the Commission
concerning the building design. He offered that the
building would be of brick or masonry or combination
construction with
metal

building.
Commissioner Oleson then requested information on the
speci-ics of how the dumpster might be screened, as to the
mater al type. Mr. Brown again stated for the record that
there is a fence proposed around the dumpster on three sides
June 27, 1989
SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 6 (Continued)
with a gate closure. He pointed out again that the site is
screened by a ten foot fence to the south of the dumpster
and the eight foot board fence immediately to the east.
Therefore, the dumpster site is double screened.
Commissioner Oleson then offered a question concerning
maintenance of the fences. It was pointed out that the
maintenance would be Safeways responsibility and that they
would be required to be maintained in the form as erected.
Commission Leek then questioned the fences and the type
Fof
construction. Mr. Brown responded by indicating the ty,oe
fence that would be constructed, and indicated that his
e
developer would like a reduction in the fence height on the
east from the eight feet as requested by Staff to a heign=.
of six feet. He felt that that was more in keeping with the
residential property on that side and its relationship. He
did not receive an answer.
Commissioner Leek then asked about landscaping. Mr. Brown
described the saving of the mature timber on the site in the
p -Ian's content with respect to
buffer,, area and the proposed
plantings of both trees and shrubs, indicating on the plan
the areas in which they would be provided.
Commissioner Collins asked for information on the lignTIng
plan and clarification of the information submitted. Mr-
Brown described the lighting as being a shoebox fixture with
wide spacing and no lighting in the rear area of the
building. The only lighting on the sides or rear of the
building would be building mounted. This would be lighting
of a security nature at paints of entry to the structure,
the dock area and adjacent to the dumpster. He indicated
that all lighting would be about 300 feet from the
residential area.
Commissioner Schlereth requested information concerning
hours of delivery with respect to the change in the access
drive to the rear of the building. Mr. Brown described the
hours of day and week in which deliveries are requested. He
indicated that inasmuch as they do not enter the rear of the
property with the large trucks that they needed more
flexibility in the delivery periods in order to avoid
conflict with peak hours of store operation. The Pianning
Staff indicated its agreement with the new hours as offered
by Mr. Brown. These hours and other amendments as now
proposed to conform with Staff recommendation are included
in a revised cover letter submitted for the file.
Mr. Griffin offered that design and plans are not the issue,
but'that the use is. He responded to the Traffic
Engineering comments by stating that the increases that have
been indicated will cause pollution. They will expand
intrusion into the neighborhood with lights, obnoxious odors
and noise. He described the drainage implications of the
area and the effects on the single family neighborhood
adjacent to this project. Mr. Griffin offered that
siltation would effect the existing drainage facilities of
the areas and cause problems. He stated that he felt the
land use plan for this area intended for int-ensely developed
areas at certain points and the expansion of. this node with
this proposal will effect an increase in the intensity of
development beyond that originally intended for this
intersection. He stated the Planning Commission is charged
with planning of areas, not rezoning of property. He felt
Safeway had had its chance last fall on another site and had
not followed through.
A Commission member, Jerilyn Nicholson, then posed questions
about drainage on the site. Mr. Jerry Gardner of the Public
Works Department responded. Mr. Gardner stated that the
plan would not be allowed to increase the run-off from the
site, but that detention would be required in order to
assure that the existing facilities off-site could handle
the run-off.

The Chair then asked for objectors to make their
presentation. Mr. Wendell Griffin, an attorney representing
the Westchester Subdivision, offered a lengthy statement
concerning the neighborhood's objection to this proposal.
He discussed the history of the case, the node expansion,
and the Planning Commission's positions on several requests
in the past. He stated that he felt the Planning Commission
needed to look closely at this proposal. He felt that the
development of this commercial use would generate an
increase in rats and roaches within the adjacent residential
area. He felt that this development is still a shopping
center, although being reduced to one store. It will still
be a basis for extension of commercial to the west and
further development. He stated that he felt the Commission
would approve this application. Mr. Griffin then offered
other histories on streets in West and Southwest Little Rock
as testimony against the Planning Commission's past actions.
He felt that the actions taken by the City on streets such
as Geyer Springs and Rodney Parham constituted an evil to
the adjacent neighborhoods. He felt that this plan
represented an evil to the neighborhood.
Mr. Griffin offered that design and plans are not the issue,
but'that the use is. He responded to the Traffic

Jim Lawson then offered comments on correcting existing
drainage off-site, and answered questions concerning a Staff
visit to the site for purposes of erecting flags to mark the
building. He discussed the Staff's intent in carrying out
that neighborhood meeting. He further discussed similar
relationships between commercial users such as this proposal
and well established residential areaswhich
did noty a have
as
much buffer area. He stated that, typi y,
ot
buffer is required. He cited Coy's Restaurant along Rodney
Parham as an example. That area rears upon a part of the
Pleasant Valley single-family area.
Mr. John Halbrook, an area resident, answered a question
concerning his perspective and that of the neighborhood of
the building. Mr. Halbrook stated that he felt the building
will be tall and quite visible. He felt the Planning
Commission should visit and observe the site and the
relationships presented.
The Chair then asked for other comments from the
neighborhood. There were none -offered. Commissioner Leek
then asked a question about drainage. Wes Lowder, the
project engineer, responded by describing this plan's
conformance with the Detention Ordinance and corrections
that would be made, both on and off site, to correct certain
problems. He stated that discharge -from this site into the
current facility will be somewhat less after construction
than it is currently. He discussed how the new drainage
would connect underground and eliminated an open ditch in
the rear yard of a Westchester resident.
Commissioner Oleson stated that she felt the issue has been
reduced to a land use issue since the design has been
thoroughly thought out by both Staff and the applicant.
Commissioner Leek raised a question about the future
development of the adjacent lot which was in the previous
application. The applicant could not offer commentary on
the future of that lot. No proposal has been made. Mr.
Robert Brown then offered a description of the preliminary
plat and the reason for including the western lot. He
stated that a replat to provide for this development would
have to include the other property in order to be a proper
plat.

r The Chair then read a letter from the League of Women
Voters. This letter was a position statement which
requested a deferral of this application until such time as
the overlay zone is developed for Highway 10.
Commissioner Nickolson offered comments on the history of
the Highway 10 plan and the difficulty in developing that
plan. She offered her position on the issues and said that
lines that are fixed on plans get changed. She offered why
she will vote the way she will on this issue and stated that
it is a judgment call.
The Chair then asked for other questions. Commissioner
McDaniel called the question. The Chair then decided to
place the three items before the Commission for a vote in
the order suggested by Staff.
(Editor's Note: The vote on Item No. 6 is reflected here as
follows with additional discussion on the matter. )
The motion as offered by Commissioner Oleson was that the
plan be approved as amended plus the inclusion of air
conditioning units, the dumpster screening, detention and
cleaning machine operations clarification at the time of
architectural design. A lengthy discussion then followed as
to exactly what these four elements would consist of with
respect to the plan. It was offered that the Staff should
be empowered to work out reassurances on each of these
Elements before completing the final plan and plat.
Commissioner Oleson clarified what her intention was with
respect to the air conditioning units and the dumpster. She
stated that she wants an unobtrusive relationship for the
site and the neighborhood with as little effect as possible.
As to the other elements, the cleaning machine, she wanted
some time restrictions.
Jim Lawson of the Planning Staff then stated that the Staff
can work with the developer to clarify the several points
and assure the type of resolution which would be needed.
David Sones, the owner/developer, offered that he would work
with the Staff to resolve the remaining questions.
