WNER APPLI ANT: City of Little Rock
PRMSAL• To construct a residence of
approximately 1,500 square foot for

and eventual sale as a residence.
QRDIN CE DESIGN ST ARDS:
1,gite Location:
This lot is in the middle of a large old Little Rock
neighborhood at the corner of West 33rd and Ringo Street.
2. CompatibiiitK7 with Neighborhood:
The site chosen is well-suited to a use of the nature
proposed due to good street access. West 33rd is a wide
residential street providing adequate frontage and existing
improvements to support two lots, one or which will be a
parking lot for employees and visitors. The structure being
constructed for eventual sale as a home and the neighborhood
desire to have the center are major considerations.
3. On -lite Drives and Parking:
There are proposed eleven or twelve spaces with access onto
the site from West 33rd Street and exiting onto Ringo Street
behind the proposed house. The parking and drives will be
paved without curbing, but some other means will be employed
to protect the edge of pavement and landscaping. The entry
drive will be designed to protect the two very large trees
on 33rd frontage as these will be valuable, owner property
assets in the future.
4. Sargening and Buff -ars:
Staff has reviewed the plan and determined that there is
sufficient area provided. A plan for installation of
landscaping indicates a planted screen of photinia along the
west property line.

7. Staff Analysis:
The staff review and field check reveals a single issue of
importance. That is, the saving of the very large trees.

forth by this department and others.

employed that will allow percolation of water to the tree
root system below.
