ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS: 1. SITE LOCATION• This site is located on the south side of Colonel Glenn Road, at the intersection with Green Bear Road. It is outside the Little Rock City Limits, but within the City's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. 2. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: This proposed 5 -acre site is zoned R-2, Single Family Residential, and is surrounded by R-2 zoning. The area consists of mainly large tracts of residential property except for a church across Col. Glenn Road, and a few businesses along Col. Glenn in PCD zoning. There are some other manufactured homes scattered along Col. Glenn Road. The manufactured home is located within view of Col. Glenn Road, but it is partially screened by natural vegetation. Staff believes this accessory dwelling would be compatible with the surrounding area if set up and skirted properly. There are no neighborhood associations serving this area. March 30, 2000 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 13 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-6821 3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING: The proposal includes one access drive from Green Bear Road.

STAFF ANALYSIS: The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for a single section, 1995, 16 by 80 foot manufactured home to be located on his 5 acres of land as an accessory dwelling. The unit is already in place and is under initial enforcement action. 2 March 30, 2000 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 13 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-6821 Standard setbacks for R-2 zoning would be met, but the platted building line is violated by the current proposed location of the accessory dwelling. That situation would have to be corrected by re -platting the building line or moving the dwelling. In addition the proposed driveway must be moved 50 feet from the intersection of Col. Glenn and Green Bear Roads. The proposal would provide adequate parking for. residential zoning. This site is located outside the City Limits, and therefore, no building permit would be required. Staff recommends the applicant set up and anchor the home according to City standards if the use is approved. Staff believes that the proposed additional use would be reasonable, and could be compatible with the area if set up and skirted properly. 8. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit subject to compliance with Public Works comment, and correcting the issue that the home was placed across a platted building line. Staff also recommends approval of the size variance for 1,280 square feet. In addition, Staff recommends the home be set up and anchored according to City Building Codes guidance, and Little Rock City Ordinance Section 36-254 (d)(5) 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.

Hunter: Case No. Location: Z-6821 18901 Colonel Glenn Road This is to advise you that in connection with your application for a conditional use permit, the Planning Commission at its meeting on March 30, 2000, approved your withdrawal request for the accessory dwelling. You also asked to be allowed 60 days to remove the existing unit. Staff has agreed to allow you 45 calendar days from March 31, 2000, to remove the unit. If you cannot remove it in that time period, you would need to send a letter to Mr. Jim Lawson, Planning Director, and justify why you need more time. He would decide whether to grant a longer period. That request must be made early enough so a decision can be made before the end of the 45 day period. If you have any questions, please call me at 371-6814. Sincerely, Wn Connell, Planner I Department of Planning and Development JC/aa
