Site Location• FILE NO.: Z-6586 Whitener - Conditional Use Permit 6519 Sullivan Road Marvin and Brenda Whitener/ Patrick McGetrick To obtain a conditional use permit to allow for the placement of a multisectional manufactured home at 6519 Sullivan Road, on property which is zoned R-2 Single Family Residential. This site is located on the east side of Sullivan Road approximately % mile north of Raines Road, outside the city limits but within the extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. 2. Compatibility with Neicrhborho_od: This property is zoned R-2, Single Family residential, and is surrounded by residential property. The area contains a mixture of undeveloped land on the west side of Sullivan Road, manufactured homes of various sizes, and stick -built single family homes. The area is rural and the tracts or lots are usually large. The property owner is subdividing the property into two tracts. They live in a house next door to the south and have a single wide mobile home on the property as a residence for their mother. To the northwest across Sullivan is a multisectional manufactured home with a single -wide manufactured home next to it to the north. A short distance to the north on the same side of Sullivan is another previously approved C.U.P. for a multisectional, manufactured home. Staff believes that once installed as required by the ordinance, this multi -sectional manufactured home should be compatible with the neighborhood. There are no formal neighborhood associations serving this area. 3. On -Site Drives and Parking: One parking space is required for a single family residence and it is provided by a single driveway access from Sullivan. December 3, 1998 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2.1 Cont. FILE NO.: Z--6586 4. Screening and Buffers: No Comment. 5. Public Works Comments: 1. Sullivan Road is a minor arterial on Master Street Plan. Dedicate right-of-way to 45' from centerline. 2.

Wastewater: Outside service boundary. No comment. Southwestern Bell: Approved as submitted. ARKLA: Approved as submitted. Entergy: Approved as submitted. Fire Department: Outside city limits, no comment. Pulaski County Planning: County has no zoning or land use requirements which limit the placement of manufactured homes in the unincorporated areas of the county. CATA: This site is not located on a CATA bus route. 7. Staff Analysis: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to place a multisectional manufactured home on this 1.58 acre R-2 zoned tract of land. This site is Lot 1 of the proposed whitener Subdivision (see item 2 on this agenda). The area contains a mixture of manufactured homes and stick -built homes all on large lots or tracts of land. It is outside the city limits, but within the extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. The owners did not realize the need for city approval since they were outside the city limits. They had already installed the home before seeking approval. Enforcement notification guided them to seek a C.U.P. They had already placed the home unfortunately, too close to the road after considering the required right-of-way, and oriented it incorrectly. So, they require variances for both situations. The front setback encroachment is 13' feet. FA December 3, 1998 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2.1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-6586 The home should have had the front facing the street to have it oriented properly, but it currently has the end facing the street. The proposed use would be compatible with the neighborhood. The positioning would not crowd the site, and everything considered, the variances would not result in this structure being out of character with the neighborhood. 8. StafL Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit subject to conforming to City Ordinance Siting Standards for manufactured homes in Section 36-254(d)(5), and Public Works Comments. Minimum Siting standards are as follows: a. A pitched roof of three (3) in twelve (12) or fourteen (14) degrees or greater. b. Removal of all transport elements. c. Permanent foundation. d. Exterior wall finished so as to be compatible with the neighborhood. e. Orientation compatible with placement of adjacent structures. f. Underpinning with permanent materials. g. All homes shall be multisectional. h. Off-street parking per single-family dwelling standard. Staff also recommends approval of the two variances: 1. A reduced front setback to 12 feet only along the west end of the structure. The rest of the front setback would remain at 25 feet; 2. The orientation of the house to have the end of the house toward Sullivan Road. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (NOVEMBER 5, 1998) Pat McGetrick was present representing the applicant. Staff gave a brief description of the proposal. Public Works reviewed their comments. There was also a brief discussion of the orientation and the fact that the increased right-of-way dedication would cause the existing building to fall within the front setback distance causing a need for variances. There being no further issues. The Committee accepted the proposal and forwarded it to the full Commission for final resolution. 3 December 3, 1998 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.. 2.1 _(Cont.)
