At your last meeting I spoke to you voicing the concerns of the Woodruff School CDBG Committee regarding the proposed new research facility. Since your last meeting, I have attended a meeting with the Little Rock Planning staff and U.A.M.S. representatives at which time the neighborhood Concerns were again addressed and assurances given to meet our concerns. i also appeared at the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees meeting in Little Rock last Priday and expressed our concerns to them. we received a strong commitment from them to the landscaping and green strip concept buffering the neighborhood from the new research building. The Board also directed Chancellor Ward to try and work with the neighborhood closely in future development, though we did not obtain a seat on their Facilities Planning commission as we had requested. The Woodruff School CD"BG Neighborhood Committee met Monday, May 7, 1990, and at that meeting discussed and considered the site plans of the proposed research facility with u.A.H.S. Representative Mike Dwyer and George Wittenberg, Architect for the project. We were informed that the architect and the landscape engineer would be working with as in the future regarding the particulars of the landscape plans and that we would have further input as the project develops. There was also considerable discussion concerning the alley closure. The consensus was that the Committee felt a turnout onto Cedar Street would be dangerous both for traffic on Cedar street and for people turning out of the alley. Also such a cut in the Cedar Street side would be contrary to our plan of insulating the neighborhood from the effects of the U.A.M.S. property. We felt that a turnaround would be far and away the better concept and we endorsed a plan envisioning such a turnaround. After a discussion of the issues, the Committee voted hazy' I ib' -70 1ei36 1908 Hal• La.w Firm ts01-372-2600 P. 3 Little Rock planning Commission May 8, 1990 Page -2- unanimously to support the agreement between O.A.M.S. and the City of Little Rock as set forth in the agareament letter. We voted to endorse the site plan, landscape design and alley turnaround proposals.

The Woodruff School CDBG Neighborhood Committee met Monday, May 7, 1990, and at that meeting discussed and considered the site plans of the proposed research facility with U.A.M.S. Representative Mike Dwyer and George Wittenberg, Architect for the project. We were informed that the architect and the landscape engineer would be working with us in the future regarding the particulars of the landscape plans and that we would have further input as the project develops. There was also considerable discussion concerning the alley closure. The consensus was that the Committee felt a turnout onto Cedar Street would be dangerous both for traffic on Cedar Street and for people turning out of the alley. Also such a cut in the Cedar Street side would be contrary to our plan of insulating the neighborhood from the effects of the U.A.M.S. property. We felt that a turnaround would be far and away the better concept and we endorsed a plan envisioning such a turnaround.

Dalton City Manager City Hall Markham at Broadway Little Rock, AR 72201 RE: UAMS Expansion Commitments Dear Mr. Dalton: This letter is to set forth the additional understandings and information we have submitted w'ich you requested as part of the alley and 4th Street cl sure application for t=_ UAMS research facility. The following are the understand- ings and assurances: 1. The current UAMS Campus Facilities Plan envisions the location of the Biomedical Research Center between E1_ - and Cedar Streets as one of the last major planned eastward expansions of the UAMS currently to be under- taken within the corridor bounded by Cedar and Elm Streets. The plan also notes that expansion of outpatient activities may be locted between Cedar and Elm and 5th and 6th Streets. There are, however, no current plans actively underway for such a facility. You are also aware that the block south of the researc- facility has been mentioned as a possible site for a parking deck. 2. The current UAMS Campus Facilities Plan envisions some acquisition north of Markham which would be limited tc office support facilities. No major research or major medical facilities currently are planned north of Markham. 3. The construction of the Biomedical Research Center wi-- be constructed in conformance with the Wittenberg, Delony & Davidson site plan dated March 26, 1990, and reviewed by the Planning Commission of the City of Little Rock. 4. The Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas at its May 4, 1990, meeting has given its assurances that the Biomedical Research Center's landscaping and buffering will be installed and maintained in confor- mance with the Wittenberg, Delony & Davidson landscap- ing plan dated May3, 1990, and reviewed by the Plannin: Commission of the City of Little Rock. Mr. Dalton Page 2 May 8, 1990 5. The alley (to be partially closed) will be terminated north of the proposed Research Center and will not con- nect to Cedar. 6. It is understood that due to budgetary constraints in the bidding process, there may be minor architectural changes to the biomedical building, but no substantial changes will be made to the landscaping and buffering plan without first reviewing such changes with the Planning Director of the City of Little Rock. The UAMS understands that the City feels that the impact of the street and alley closures and expansion of the Medical Center in proximity of the adjoining neighborhoods will be minimized by the above.
