Public Works Comments: Existing drive is 11 foot chipseal without sidewalks. Johnson was included in the list of county roads under the Mackey Court Order that designated a 50 foot prescriptive easement for the roadways. With platting, dedicate 50 feet of right-of-way with dedication for an offset bulb cul-de-sac. Subdivision regulations require public street access to newly platted lots, the 11 foot chipseal does not qualify as a minimum residential street access. Thus, to subdivide, the street needs to be brought up to a minimum standard of 20 feet as specified as minimum secondary access width. A Traffic Engineering approved turn -around will also be required. There appears to be a conflict with the Master Street Plan South Loop construction. Recommend that the engineer of record plot the South loop proposed location on the plan. 6. Utility Comments: Little Rock Wastewater - Sewer main extension required with easements. Little Rock Fire Department - A fire hydrant is required within 800 feet of these buildings. 7. staff Anally - s: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the placement of a 16 foot by 70 foot 1995 model manufactured home on this property to serve as an accessory dwelling.

FILE NO.: Z-6182 accessory buildings and the proposed manufactured home accessory dwelling. Both tracts will take access from Johnson Lane. The applicant, Barbara Jones, is proposing the manufactured home accessory dwelling as a residence for her mother. Mrs. Jones has stated that her mother's health is failing and that she needs to live close to her children and grandchildren so that they may help with her day-to-day needs. As noted in the Public Works Comments, there appears to be a conflict with the Master Street Plan South Loop construction. There is an upcoming proposal to downgrade the South Loop from an expressway to a principal arterial. Public Works recommends that the applicant have the engineer of record plot the South Loop proposed location on the site plan. According to the Master Street Plan, it is the City's responsibility to determine the exact location of the right-of-way and extent of right-of-way necessary for the provisions of said facility, and shall require, in conjunction with the approval of the conditional use permit application, the dedication or reservation of the right-of-way. Therefore, staff is recommending, as a condition of approval, that the possible South Loop conflict must be resolved. This general area contains a mixture of single family uses on larger lots. With compliance with the ordinance established minimum siting standards and the proper replatting of this lot, the placement of this manufactured home accessory dwelling should not have an adverse effect on the surrounding properties. 8. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the Public Works Comments 2. Compliance with the Utility and Fire Department Comments 3. Compliance with the following minimum siting standards as required by the Little Rock Zoning Ordinance, Section 36-262(d)(2): a.
