FISCAL IMPACT None. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested revocation. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the requested revocation, as recommended by Staff, by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 2 recusals (Troy Laha, Mizan Rahman). CITIZEN The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed PARTICIPATION revocation request at its March 3, 2006, meeting. There were two registered objectors present. All property owners located within 200 -feet of the site, all residents who could be identified, located within 300 -feet of the site, Southwest Little Rock United for Progress and the Alexander Road Neighborhood Association were notified of the public hearing. BACKGROUND Ordinance No. 19,271 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on February 1, 2005, established Whispering Hills Short -form PD -R. The rezoning was from R-2 to PD -R to allow the development of a residential subdivision. There were several variances requested with the development of the site, therefore the planned development process was utilized. The developer intended to develop the subdivision with 15 single-family homes. The applicant submitted a request dated January 9, 2006, requesting the current PD -R zoning be revoked and the previous R-2, Single-family District zoning classification be restored. The applicant has indicated the proposed residential development will not be constructed on the site as proposed. Per Section 36-454(d) the Owner may for cause request repeal of the ordinance establishing the development. Please see the attached Planning Commission minute record and site plan for the applicant's specific development proposal and the staff analysis and recommendation. 2 ORDINANCE NO.

I am retired, but have a Civil Engineering degree with about 24 graduate hours. If I were not housebound I would be at the meeting, but I don't think I can make it. The current proposed subdivision consists of an extension to the east of Whispering Drive, terminating in a cul- de-sac on the property owned by Mr. Evans, with several lots for single family housing. My main objection is as follows: during the time the construction is underway I fear the trucks hauling gravel or stone, building materials, concrete for curbs and gutters, heavy equipment for earth moving and other such trucks and equipment will break through the existing surface and base of Whispering Drive. All of the aforesaid equipment could very easily ruin Whispering Drive, especially if it comes in frequently. We have lived on Whispering Drive since April 1964, when the street was only a gravel road. About 1966 it was upgraded to a single coat of asphaltic -treated chip seal. Sometime in the 1980's the road received another single coat of asphaltic seal and chips. These improvements were made by Pulaski County. My observations at the time were that the two coats together would not equal a double bituminous surface treatment (DBST), which my workers have applied several times. I have also observed it being applied in Arkansas and Arizona. I was working for a highway contractor in Arkansas and also the Arkansas Highway Department when I observed the DBST being applied in Arkansas. I was working for the Arizona Highway Department when I observed it being applied there. In the process of pavement design DBST would be accorded a structural value considerably more than just gravel and one coat of asphalt. Pavement breaks down due to repeated applications of heavy wheel loads. It is difficult to calculate values for DBST and a single seal of asphalt, because there is not a direct linear comparison between the two. Considering the amount of asphalt chips in each, the rough ratio between DBST and single bituminous surface treatment is about 5 to 1 in Pavement Design Value, conservatively speaking. I suggest that the City of Little Rock require a performance bond in the amount of the contract to ensure the pavement holds up. Or, if third -party oversight is required by the City with quality control on the base and surfacing, which I recommend, the quality control need be only the base and surfacing and a performance bond on the contract amount remaining. I know the City of Little Rock does not have money to replace the project base and surfacing, so the contractor must be watched and controlled. Due to the difference in the strength of single bituminous treatment, which now exists on Whispering Drive, and the DBST which I assume will be put in on the new portion of Whispering Drive, quality control will be critical. Donna James Page 2 Also, money included in the contract to control the asphalt plant is money very well spent with the price of oil being what it is. This is something that I feel is very important and can save the City quite a bit of money. Also controlling the amount of liquid asphalt applied in the DBST is important or the City will not get enough asphalt on the road. The highest priced materials are the ones the contractor might short, therefore we must watch asphalt, crushed stone, and sand. I appreciate the opportunity you have given me to comment on Mr. Evan's subdivision. I have seen many problems on Alexander Road and Whispering Drive since we have lived here. Since there is a cul-de-sac, I think the treatment of Whispering Drive and its extension to the east is important. If you have any questions concerning any of this, please do not hesitate to call me.
