BACKGROUND:
On February 1, 1994, the Board of Directors passed Ordinance No. 16,586 which
rezoned this property from R-2 to PD -O for a two -building office development. On
October 4, 1994, the Board of Directors passed Ordinance No. 16,754, which amended
the previously approved PD -0 site plan still maintaining two (2) office buildings. On
December 2, 1997, the Board of Directors passed Ordinance No. 17,622 which
re-established the PD -O for three (3) years. On September 14, 2000, the Planning
Commission granted a three (3) year time extension of the approved PD -O.
On September 3, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a revision to the previously
approved PD -O to create a two (2) lot plat and allow the construction of a bank with a
four (4) window drive-through facility on the front lot, adjacent to Cantrell Road, and the
FILE NO.: Z -5770-D
development of an office building on the rear lot. The applicant proposed the office
building to be a single story office building containing approximately 10,800 square feet.
There were 51 parking spaces proposed as a part of the development. Sixteen spaces
were proposed with the bank facility and 35 spaces were proposed with the office
building.
Two monument style signs were approved for the site. One was to be located on the
east side of the driveway and one on the west side of the driveway. The eastern sign
was to be a maximum of five (5) feet in height and fifty (50) square feet in area and the
sign on the western side of the driveway was to be a maximum of six (6) feet in height
and sixty (64) square feet in area. The applicant proposed 0-3 zoning district uses as
approved alternative uses for the site. The applicant proposed a single access point to
the site from Cantrell Road.
Ordinance No. 18,785 adopted by the Board of Directors on December 3, 2002, revised
the previously approved PD -O to allow the rear lot to be split. The rear lots would each
contain approximately 12,000 square feet of land area each containing an office
building, one on each lot, and the square footages to be 4,300 and 2,800 square feet
with a shared parking and common drive access easement extending from Cantrell
Road through Lot 1 to serve the rear lots. The proposal included signage as previously
approved adjacent to Highway 10 on the eastern side of the driveway and contained on
Lot 1. The sign area was to be a maximum of five (5) feet in height and fifty (50) square
feet in area. The signage for Lot 1 was located on the western side of the driveway.
The request included a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the rear lots to
be developed without public street frontage. A common access drive/utility easement
will be final platted to provide access to these lots.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
The applicant is now proposing a revision to the previously approved PD -O site
plan by reducing the landscape strip along the eastern perimeter of Lot B -2-R
and adding parking and placing a dumpster within this area. The previous
approval indicated a landscape strip averaging 35 -feet plus along the eastern
perimeter of the site. The revision allows a 25 -foot average landscape strip on
proposed Lot B -2-R with a minimum landscape strip of 16.9 feet. The site plan
indicates the placement of 20 on-site parking spaces. Six parking spaces are
indicated along the eastern perimeter and the remaining 14 spaces are located
along the front of the building.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Regions Bank has been constructed on the lot abutting Cantrell Road and a
dentist office has been constructed on the western rear lot. A POD zoning site
plan was approved for the property located to the east of this site to allow
construction of a restaurant adjacent to Cantrell Road and an office building on
the rear portion of the lot. West of the site is also zoned POD and was approved
for an office development containing three buildings.

Approval of plans by the Arkansas Department of Health Engineering Division
and Little Rock Fire Department is required. Fire sprinkler systems, which do not
contain additives such as antifreeze, shall be isolated with a double detector
check valve assembly. If additives are used, a reduced pressure zone backflow
preventer shall be required. The Little Rock Fire Department needs to evaluate
this site to determine whether additional public and/or private fire hydrant(s) will
be required. If additional fire hydrant(s) are required, they will be installed at the
Developer's expense. Due to the nature of this facility, installation of an approved
reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly (RPZA) is required on the
domestic water service. This assembly must be installed prior to the first point of
use. Central Arkansas Water (CAW) requires that upon installation of the RPZA,
successful tests of the assembly must be completed by a Certified Assembly
Tester licensed by the State of Arkansas and approved by CAW. The test results
must be sent to CAW's Cross Connection Section within ten days of installation
and annually thereafter. Contact Carroll Keatts at 377-1226 if you would like to
discuss backflow prevention requirements for this project. If there are facilities
that need to be adjusted and/or relocated, contact Central Arkansas Water. That
work would be done at the expense of the developer.

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 May 3, 2007, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has
revised the plan to eliminate three of the proposed parking spaces to increase
the landscape area. The applicant has also indicated the hours of dumpster
service will be limited to daylight hours.
The application request is to revise a previously approved PD -0 reducing the
previously approved landscape strip along the eastern perimeter of Lot B -2-R to
allow additional parking within this area. The previous approval indicated a
landscape strip averaging 35 -feet plus along the eastern perimeter of the Site for
this lot. The revision allows a 25 -foot average landscape strip on this lot with a
minimum landscape strip of 16.9 feet adjacent to the proposed parking. The site
plan indicates the placement of 20 on-site parking spaces. Six parking spaces
are indicated along the eastern perimeter and the remaining 14 spaces are
located along the front of the building.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The plan as proposed complies
with the typical perimeter landscaping requirements of the Highway 10 Design
Overlay District for this lot. The only change to the site plan proposed is along
the eastern perimeter of Lot B -2-R. The building placement for the proposed
office building was also previously approved with the indicated 25 -foot building
setback. The remaining lots have developed according to previously approved
plans including the location of the access drive and the landscaped areas along
the eastern portion of the drive. To staff's knowledge there are no outstanding
issues associated with the request.

Item # 17
Central Arkansas Water: All Central Arkansas Water requirements in effect at the
time of request for water service must be met. A Capital Investment Charge based on
the size of the meter connection(s) will apply to this project in addition to normal
charges. This fee will apply to all meter connections including any metered connections
off the private fire system. Please submit four copies of the plans for the fire protection
system to Central Arkansas Water for review. Contact Central Arkansas Water
regarding procedures for installation of fire service. Approval of plans by the Arkansas
Department of Health Engineering Division and Little Rock Fire Department is required.
Fire sprinkler systems, which do not contain additives such as antifreeze, shall be
isolated with a double detector check valve assembly. If additives are used, a reduced
pressure zone backflow preventer shall be required. The Little Rock Fire Department
needs to evaluate this site to determine whether additional public and/or private fire
hydrant(s) will be required. If additional fire hydrant(s) are required, they will be installed
at the Developer's expense. Due to the nature of this facility, installation of an approved
reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly (RPZA) is required on the
domestic water service. This assembly must be installed prior to the first point of use.
Central Arkansas Water (CAW) requires that upon installation of the RPZA, successful
tests of the assembly must be completed by a Certified Assembly Tester licensed by the
State of Arkansas and approved by CAW. The test results must be sent to CAW's Cross
Connection Section within ten days of installation and annually thereafter. Contact
Carroll Keatts at 377-1226 if you would like to discuss backflow prevention requirements
for this project. If there are facilities that need to be adjusted and/or relocated, contact
Central Arkansas Water. That work would be done at the expense of the developer.
Fire Department: Install fire hydrants per code. Contact the Little Rock Fire
Department for additional information.
County Planning: No comment.

and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on
Cantrell since it is a Principal Arterial.
Bicycle Plan: Existing or proposed Class I, II, or III Bikeways are not in the immediate
vicinity of the development.
