Cleary this s a con as the space is clearlv intended to hP fi ni .qht-A nut At a f„t„ra rlatP nnrra it i G determined that the lower level is in fact habitable space, the height requirement would fail... Also, I assume that the rules set forth in the PD -R would go with the ownership of the property, so I would additionally have to assume that it would be the responsibility of the seller to inform the buyer of these conditions... Also, the west line of the house appears to be over the set back limits... And yes, I would love for you to have the CLR do an audit of the project .... and while the are at it, have them check all building codes ... this house has no reinforcing in the masonry walls, could not meet the Seismic Zone I requirements under any circumstances, and has no ventilation into crawl spaces .... all code violations for commercial or institutional buildings...

In any event, please put the Lagniappe Addition on the agenda—they are working away over there this morning... Sunday Morning, which I suspect is a violation of City Ordinance, additionally, the framing contractor has stated to Susan that the ridge of the roof is at least 50' above the grade (32' allowable). Other transgressions include open fires on the site and may include over building the allowable area of 3200 SF and building too close to the property line (10%) allowable, so on a 59' wide lot, the side yard setback would be 5.9' or 5-10 7/8"..also, the footprint of the structure does not match the footprint indicated on the approved PER... I would hope the HRA would request the CLR of suspend the PD -R and require that all work on the project be suspended until such a time that the project is reviewed for compliance with the requirements of the PD-R..and other ordinances, codes and regulations that may apply. In my judgment, this developer is largely ignoring the conditions or the PD -R. It is time for Hillcrest to speak up and let contractors know that we take agreements affecting our neighborhood seriously..

As you indicate the fax is dated October 6th, 2004. There is presentation materials also in the file which was furnished to the Commission and is dated October 18, 2004. Within the presentation materials there is a section titled "Neighborhood Concerns Addressed". Density, Parking, Saving Trees, Building Height, Size of the Homes and Requested Variances are outlined for the Commission with highlighted points indicated in "Red". Within the material presented to the Commission I have only included two sections. There does not appear to be any concerns with the remaining points. Concern: Building Height - We have agreed not to exceed 32 -feet. This is less than the city code requirements, less than the existing house on the property, less than the house immediately west of this property, and less than the house at 725 N. Walnut just east of the property. Concern: Size of the proposed Homes - After meeting with the neighbors adjacent to the property, we agree to limit the coverage on the lots to 28% without garages and 32% with garages. We then met with the HRA (Hillcrest Resident's Association) and further agreed to limit the square footage for these homes to 3500 sq. feet on the front lots (#1 and #2) and 4500 sq. feet for the back lots (#3 and #4) and submitted this to staff in writing. It is important to note the current house has approx. 4000 sq. feet. The presentation indicates building coverage for each lot and not for the development as you indicated in your e- mail. The lots have been final platted establishing the lot area for development for each lot. We are reviewing options and procedures available to you to remedy the coverage concern. -----Original Message ----- From: Cathy Pursell [mailto:cpursell@us.ibm.com] Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2006 12:30 PM To: James, Donna; Bozynski, Tony Cc: marthachisenhall@sbcglobal.net; gpurs@aol.com; Ichisenhall@cnjlaw.com Subject: Re: FW: Lot 2 - 4410 I Street Donna, as you know, I have been out of town. After reviewing my files today, I found a letter I faxed to you on October 6th, 2004 at 1:02 PM stating the following with regard to our development: 1) Our understanding is that city code allows a roof height of 35 feet. We will not exceed 32 feet. This is less than the existing house on this property, less than the house immediately west of the existing house and also less than the property at 725 Walnut Street just east of this property. 2) We will not exceed an average of 35% lot coverage (heated and cooled space) including garages. If we do the same calculation without garages, the average goes down to approximately 28%. We plan to build garages but wanted to make the point given that most houses in that area do NOT have garages. Because we stated we would not exceed an average of 35% lot coverage, we are within the 5/22/2006 Page 2 of 3 parameters we stated (in writing) for the PD -R. We never had copies of the information you gave to Martha last week or we would have pointed out the discrepancies in the notes. (lot coverage and square footage) Gary has calculated the coverages as following: The total square footage of lots 1 - 4 = 43,700 sq. feet 35% of 43,700 = 15,295 sq. feet We have only used a coverage of 3,127 sq. feet (according to Scott Smith's figures below) so that leaves the development 12,168 sq. feet to be divided among the other 3 houses to be built. Please call Martha or Gary if you do not understand these calculations. Again, I have the fax log showing the details of when I faxed the letter to fax number 399-3435 and a copy of the letter. Just let me know if you cannot find your copy and I will provide that to you. I am out of town again Monday/Tuesday of this week, but please let Martha know if you do not have a copy of this letter in your files. Thank you .... we look forward to discussing this with you.

Platt of Surrounding Blocks/Density of Area IV. Neighborhood Concerns and How They Have been Addressed V. Sample Architectural Styles VI. Misleading Flyers Distributed Throughout the Entire Hillcrest Area by the Opposition For a total of 6 lots (42,000, sgft), the house sits on 2 lots with the remaining lots extending about 200 feet beyond the back fence. The lots, each 50x140, parallel the house and garage abutting one another with the last one against Allsopp Park.

We initially proposed 5 and after discussions with adjacent neighbors, we are now proposing 4 houses. • We will tear down the house currently on this property. The resident across the street, David Rozas, razed a house on the lot adjacent to his house (the southwest corner of I and Walnut). The net effect is that only 2 additional houses will be added to this neighborhood. The block is currently platted for 6 houses. • The developed block would be less dense than surrounding blocks (see density map). Concern: Parking on I Street • We will provide off street parking for a minimum of 4 cars/lot. (We will accomplish this with garages, porte cache's, and utilizing driveways to the garages) • We are willing to move the front loading garage on the east lot (Lot #1) to a back/side loading garage off the private drive. The net effect is the current curb cut for this property will move and no other curb cuts will occur. Current parking along "I" St. can remain as is. We are providing more than adequate parking for the new houses. Concern: Saving the Trees • All the large hardwoods were marked. The driveways and houses were then positioned so that the trees could be preserved. Concern: Building Height We have agreed not to exceed 32 feet. This is less than city code requirements, less than the existing house on the property, less than the house immediately west of this property, and less than the house at 725 N Walnut just east of this property. Concern: Size of the Proposed domes • After meeting with neighbors adjacent to the property, we agreed to limit the coverage on the lots to 28% without garages and 32% with garages. We then met with the HRA (Hillcrest Resident's Assoc.) and further agreed to limit the sq. footage for these homes to 3500 sq. feet on the front lots (#1 and #2) and 4500 sq. feet for the back lots (#3 and #4) and submitted this to staff in writing. It is important to note the current house has approx. 4000 sq. feet. Concern: Requested Variances • We originally requested 8 foot walls to provide privacy for courtyard specific areas. The neighborhood has mistaken our request to mean we want to `wall off this entire area and gate the 4 homes. That was NEVER our intent. We will withdraw this variance at this time and request individual variances once courtyards are designed and if it is determined that 8 feet might be required. • We also have withdrawn our requested variance for a 5 foot side yard set back. The 15 foot front yard set back requested is to align the houses facing I Street with the other houses along I Street. We are maintaining this request and there is not opposition to this variance. Concern: Architectural Style of the Proposed Homes • We have shown `sample' house plans in keeping with the diversity of Hillcrest. (Examples included) This area of Hillcrest has Federal Style Homes, Craftsman, Tudor, Bungalow, and even more modern style architecture has been recently built. Concern: Setting a Precedent in Hillcrest for Future Development • The HRA is very concerned about this development opening the door for developers to come in and change the entire character of Hillcrest. There have been 4 houses built within 200 yards of these proposed homes in the past 20 years with very diverse styles and square footage: 4322 I Street, 1980, approx. 4000 sq. feet 4320 I Street, 2002, approx. 2900 sq. feet 821 N Ash St., 1984, approx. 2000 sq. feet 823 N Ash St., 1993, approx. 3150 sq. feet WE ARE CLEARLY NOT SETTING A PRECEDENT in this neighborhood. Concern: Protecting the Privacy of Neighboring Properties • We have proposed a tract of land on the east and a tract on the west side for neighbors to purchase that will additionally protect the privacy for those homes. Bill Rector and Greer Sullivan have verbally agreed to this offer if the PRD is approved. Don Evans, adjacent to the property on the east is not opposed to building these houses. Concern: Car Lights Exiting Drive Shining in 4305 I Street's Windows • We moved the drive from its' initial location and angled it toward the east to alleviate this concern as much as we could. Don Evans and Robin Borne' have suggested moving the private drive along the east property tme. we aiscussea trus option witn our engineer ana concluded moving the drive would create more problems than it would solve. It would also necessitate the removal of trees we can currently preserve. (Proposed drive is on the platt). 104,- Ar M f •� y r 46 �� �'1'} •-sem• 'K �r-}'.�1 •�`"�' '�,--•i `---i� ,� r" � � tlZ 09, y. $ tL V ��' ,:� "�'�� � �• •ref '' � All- JA�� k. � .J•, r _ � til jA * iii / �ciM.' �r�i � r�r.�!• - — t� + .� r, wit j k ,Q,4a j s t. t.

HELP PRESERVE HILLCRESTI Sall re to Me ever -development of sur neiHrwrlaal. Please add your voice to the voices of your neighbors and the Hillcrest Residents Association in opposing Lagniappe PD -R, the proposed planned residential development at 4400 1 Street on the south edge of Allsopp Park. Under the developer's plan., the existing house — a historic Hillcrest home situated in one of Little Rock's loveliest areas — would be torn down. Four large homes would be constructed on the property, accessed by a new road that would intersect 1 Street in the middle of the block between Ash and Walnut. Neighbors' concerns • I Street is too narrow (only 22 feet wide) to accommodate the increased traffic. The proposed private drive would service four large homes, creating the feel of a gated community and inflicting increased noise, traffic and congestion on the neighborhood. There are also concerns regarding emergency vehicle access. • The property is too small for the four houses the developer glans to cram into the space. Two houses would be adequate for the land, rather than the proposed four — the sizes of which are unspecified by the developer. • The developer wants to rezone the neighborhood. They have petitioned the planning commission to allow construction closer to the property lines and to the street — and to permit 8 -foot privacy fences around the property. - Allsopp Park may be endangered by the development. There are concerns from neighbors and from the park department that this over -development of the property could cause environmental damage to one of Little Rock's most enjoyed parks. Hillcrest Residents AsSeelsdoo opposed On Monday, October 11, the Hillcrest Residents Association held a public hearing on the proposed development. Afterward, the board voted to oppose the project. Now you can help fight this development • Express your objections before Thursday October 21: Donna James or E-mail: DJames littlerock. state.ar. us Little Rock Planning Commission 723 West Markham, Little Rock, AR 72201 or call: 501-371-6821. • Attend the next Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, October 21 at 4:00 p.m. and speak out against the development.

After hearing the concerns expressed, the HRA Board directed me, as President, to contact you and express our strong desire that the solutions be addressed in a public forum. Adjacent neighbors, as well as board members, spoke to the significant challenge of reconfiguring the three lots when the only two remaining unbuilt lots combined total 16,000 square feet. Smaller lots will create smaller building foot prints, and most likely even taller structures. It was felt that something more creative than just reallocating square feet among the three lots might be needed if there is any chance keep the remaining structures of this infill project in scale and character with the surrounding homes. We hope that you will realize the importance of allowing the Hillcrest residents and adjacent property owners to have a voice in the redesign of this project, and in the future of our neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions please contact me.

We understand these numbers aren't required for the PRD but felt it would make the neighbors feel more comfortable. 1) Our undersumding is that city code allows a roof height of 35 feet. We will not exceed 32 feet. This is less than the existing house on this property, less than the house immediately west of the existing house and also less than the property at 725 Walnut Street just east of this property. 2) We will not exceed an avemge of 35% lot coverage (heated and cooled space) including garages. if we do the same calculation without garages, the average goes down to approximately 28%. We plan to build garages but wanted to make the point given that most houses in that area do NOT have garages. Thank you very much for your assistance with this development. We look forward to seeing you Thursday evening. Sincerely, Cathy 111 Lagniappe' Development Board Of Directors Communication TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF FROM: BOB TURNER, ACTING CITY MANAGE SUBJECT: LAGNIAPPE PRD DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2004 At the November 30, 2004, Board of Directors Agenda Meeting, the request was made for staff to provide a summary of poll that was supposedly taken by the Hillcrest Residents Association (HRA) over the Thanksgiving weekend in regards to the proposed Lagniappe PRD. Staff contacted Scott Smith, of the HRA Board, and according to Mr. Smith, there was no. such poll taken. On November 29, 2004, the HRA distributed a letter, which is attached for your information, soliciting comments from all members prior to the Board adopting any resolution regarding the compromise that the developers have proposed. In addition, all residents in the Hillcrest Area have been invited to attend the December 6, 2004, HRA Board Meeting, to express any opinions that they may have regarding the proposed PRD. If additional information is needed, please advise. Attachment �`:+.. Af 1 G+#le D^g-L- Arkoncnc HILLCREST RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION November 29, 2004 RE: Lagniappe Planned Residential Development Dear Neighbors: The Hillcrest Residents Association (HRA) has been actively Involved in an issue regarding a property located between Ash and Walnut off of "I" Street. The originally proposed Planned Residential Development (PRD), known as Lagniappe Addition called for fhe demolition of a historic house and reconfiguring six standard size lots to four irregularly shaped lots. The new larger lots would have been clustered around a new internal driveway intersecting "I" Street at the quarter point to the east between Ash and Walnut, rather than the normal street corners. This design created an internal clustering very different from the original neighborhood pattern, which has front yards facing streets and back yards facing alleys. After hearing from many neighbors regarding the proposal as submitted, The HRA Board at its November 8 meeting voted to not support the PRD as presented, but support development that is allowed "by -right". HRA supports development of these lots as intended by the original design of the neighborhood which is clearly supported by the Hillcrest Neighborhood Plan adopted by the Little Rock Planning Commission July 22, 1999 and by the Little Rock Board of Directors September 21, 1999. The original PRD was approved by the City Planning Commission, over the objections of the HRA, and was scheduled to go before the City Board of Directors at Its November 23 meeting. Prior to that City Board meeting, the developers met with neighbors that are adjacent to the development property and offered a compromise solution, one which we believe more accurately fulfills the mission of the Hillcrest Neighborhood Plan; the driveway has been moved to the comer of Walnut and "I" Street, maintaining the historic block. It appears that many of the adjoining neighbors are not opposing the revised PRD. As your neighborhood organization, the Board of the HRA is soliciting comments from all HRA members prior to adopting any resolution regarding the proposed compromise. The next meeting of the HRA Board will be December 6, 2)04 at the Fletcher Branch Library, 821 North Buchanan Street, 6:30 pm -8:00 pm. We urge anyone wishing to express an opinion regarding this issue to attend. Additionally, this issue will be voted on at the December 7, 2004 City of Little Rock Board of Directors Meeting held at City Hall beginning at 6:00 p.m. Sincerely, The HRA Board of Directors Tony Woodell, Robin Bome, Shelley Djurica, Mallory Jewell, Marcell Jones, William Lindsey, Samantha Mayo, Debbie Milarn, Barbara Miles, Stephanie Minydrd, Scott Smith Board Of Directors Communication TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: BRUCE T. MOORE, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: LAGNIAPPE ADDITION SHORT -FORM PD -R; 4400 "1" STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2004 The Lagniappe Addition Short -Form PD -R is a request to rezone the property located at 4400 "1" Street from R-2 to PD -R. The property consists of six (6) lots which were originally platted as part of the Pulaski Heights Subdivision. At the present time, there is currently one (1) house on the site, and the applicants propose to redevelop the site with a total of four (4) new houses. Two (2) of the proposed lots are to front onto "I" Street and the other two (2) are to be accessed by a private drive off of "I" Street. On October 21, 2004, The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the PD- R. Since the date of the Commission's action, the applicants have been in discussion with neighborhood residents and staff. In an effort to address specific concerns issued by the neighbors, the applicants have made a slight modification to the plan. Copies of the original plans as approved by the Commission, as well as the modified plans, are attached for your information. The two (2) changes made are as follows: the driveway, which was centered in the property, has now been moved to the eastern perimeter of the site for a portion of its length; and to accommodate the relocated driveway, Lot 2 is now proposed to have a driveway onto "I" Street: All other aspects of the proposed PD- R remain unchanged. Staff believes the modifications are minor as to not warrant returning the issue to the Planning Commission. In addition, it is staff's understanding that the property owners nearest the site support the modified plan. If additional information is needed, please advise.

MOORE, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: DAY CARE FAMILY HOME FOLLOW-UP DATE: OCTOBER 15, 2004 #-20 The request was made at the October 5, 2004, Board of Directors Meeting for staff to determine if the applicant requesting the Special Use Permit for the day care family home occupies the residence located at 8701 Verbena Drive. Staff provided the following information, which indicates that the applicant, Nikitia Britton, is in fact the occupant of that residence: ➢ Copies of Entergy, SBC, Centerpoint Energy Arkla, Alltel and Central Arkansas Water bills for Ms. Britton at 8701 Verbena Drive. These bill were dated for the months of August, September and October 2004. ➢ A copy of an automobile insurance policy bill, dated August 2004, for two (2) vehicles issued to Ms. Britton at 8701 Verbena Drive. ➢ A copy of a Little Rock Housing Authority Tenant -Based Assistance Rental Program Contract for the residence at 8701 Verbena Drive. The contract indicates that Terrell Dean is the property owner and Nikitia Britton and her children are occupants. In addition, staff obtained a vehicle information report from the State of Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration for the two (2) vehicles observed at 8701 Verbena Drive. One of the vehicles is registered to Nikitia Hunter (Britton) at 8701 Verbena Drive, and the second vehicle is registered to Nikitia Hunter (Britton) at 3221 Asher Avenue, which Ms. Britton states is her mother's address. Section 36-54(e)(3)f of the code states: "No Special Use Permit will be approved for a day care family home proposed to be located within 300 feet of a licensed day carecenter or an operating day care family home for which a Special Use Permit has previously been approved." A licensed day care center, which has existed for a number of years, is currently in operation on the property immediately to the east, along Oman Road.

The driveway which was centered in the property has now been moved to the eastern perimeter of the site for a portion of its length. To accommodate the relocated driveway, Lot 2 is now proposed to have a driveway onto "I" Street. All other aspects of the proposed PD- R remain unchanged. Staff believes the modifications are so minor as to not warrant returning the issue to the Planning Commission. It is staff's understanding that the property owners nearest the site support the modified plan. If additional information is needed, please advise. i Bozynski, Tony From: Day, Bryan Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 8:50 AM To: James, Donna; Bozynski, Tony; Webre, Mark Subject: FW: Development Near Allsopp Park I made a few changes — we would like an opportunity to enter this nto the public record.

If developers are willing, is a short (2 week) deferral okay with you? If the driveway goes to the east, would it have to go back to the Planning Commission?

I received a call late on Thursday from Kathy Purcell and talked with her briefly about these other plans. They were willing to negotiate. I think this is the best strategy for everyone.

I met with Gary Purcell yesterday to discuss a possible compromise. We talked about moving the drive to the east side of the property. Gary seemed to think the plan is possible, but was concerned that we would lose a couple of trees. I met with the Evans and Rector's, separately. Both indicated they could support this compromise. I was concerned about the Evans', as the new drive will be adjacent to their property. Don indicated he actually prefers the drive along the east property line as it would insure open space along the property line. I just sent a note to David Rozas and Greer Sullivan, to see if they could support this compromise. I hope to hear from them soon. I need to poll the HRA Board to see if they can support this compromise. I'll keep you posted.

Our corporation consists of our President and contractor, Gary Pursell, two Vice-presidents, Cathy Pursell and Larry Chisenhall, and our Secretary -Treasurer, Martha Chisenhall. We are two husband and wife teams. Our Planned Residential Development (PRD) at 4400 I Street will be before you on November 23rd. Our journey began last summer when a Hillcrest resident, and landscape architect, called to suggest that Gary Pursell look at the home situated on 6 lots for sale at 4400 I Street. The property had been on the market for a number of years and was priced and marketed for development. This Hillcrest resident was familiar with Gary's work, his attention to detail, his creativity, and most of all, his ability to incorporate a `new' house into an existing neighborhood. Gary had recently completed a new home at 4923 Stonewall Rd. (See picture of home enclosed.) The Heights Neighborhood Association hosted an Open House fundraiser at this location as an example of how to save trees with new construction. The neighbors, as well as many others who toured the home, were amazed by Gary's ability to make a "new" house look "old." After looking at the property at 4400 I Street, Lagniappe' Ventures, Inc. was formed. We contacted the Little Rock City Attorney, Cindy Dawson, before making an offer on the property, and learned there was no reason the property couldn't be developed. We have worked with the Planning and Development staff, met with the immediate neighbors numerous times to hear their concerns and also presented our proposal to the Hillcrest Resident's Association (HRA). Our proposal has been revised many times during the past months. We have addressed multiple and varied concerns brought forth by the neighbors. (Please see enclosed list of concerns.) The Planning and Development staff recommends approval of our PRD and the Planning Commission voted 8-0 in support of our proposal. We now bring this PRD to you, the Little Rock City Board of Directors. (Please see PRD layout enclosed.) You have, no doubt, heard from our opposition. We have made many concessions but still cannot please all the parties in this neighborhood. Change is difficult, especially when it is in "your own backyard." We understand that. The HRA has recently adopted a position they feel supports the original 1908 plat. This plan is in complete opposition to the concerns of the neighbors closest to this property. We have been unable to find a compromise that makes everyone happy. We need your support to move forward with our PRD. We have worked hard and poured our heart and soul into this project. We feel it is the best plan for our property. We now have a much better understanding of the difficulty involved with infill development. We also have a much greater appreciation for the decisions and policies that our elected city officials are asked to make. It has been suggested to us, even by our supporters, that we sell the I Street property and take our ideas to West Little Rock where development is much easier. Maybe we are naive, or perhaps it's simply true grit. We honestly believe, and have confidence, in our ability to develop this property in the best interest of the neighborhood and enhance midtown Little Rock. We are people of integrity. Our reputation is at stake and we are taking considerable financial risk. We are asking for your vote in support of this PRD. Give Lagniappe' Ventures the opportunity and we feel certain you will be proud to have supported this worthwhile infill development. We look forward to the formal presentation on November 23rd. Thank you for your time and deliberate consideration. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at either 666-631 or 221-2018. Sincerely, r Martha Chisenhall
