C. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTIFICATIONS:
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site and all neighborhood
associations registered with the City of Little Rock were notified of the public
hearing.
D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
1. All construction work must include appropriate drainage and erosion control
measures (i.e., silt fencing, mulching hydro-seeding, etc.) to protect the
municipal storm water drainage system and neighboring properties from
sediment runoff. New developments may be subject to inspections for
compliance.
2. An engineering report and analysis of the site grading and drainage may be
required with application of the building permit for the accessory structure for
Department engineering staff’s verification that the increase in stormwater
runoff from the accessory structure will not adversely affect nearby properties
to their detriment. This report will also show how the increase in stormwater
runoff will be handled, where the discharge location will be, and the quantity of
discharge for each design storm event at a minimum.
