How will the rear parking area be accessed if a curb cut is not allowed on Manney Road? 4. Provide the location of the commercial and the location of the office. The site plan indicates the office on the lower level and the commercial on the upper level. Does this mean the office will be located on the rear of the building only? 5.

If the indicated parking is proposed with this development then the adjoining lot must also be included in the PCD zoning request. Variance/Waivers, None requested. Public Works Conditions: 1.

This plan does not show the current right-of-way as acquired by the State of Arkansas and as shown on AHTD plans for widening Cantrell Road from Mississippi to Foxcroft. Revise plans to show current right-of-way per AHTD plans and future Master Street Plan right-of-way. 3. The current AHTD plan will close Manney Road at Cantrell leaving no access to the proposed parking lot. The proposed parking arrangement will not work. 4. With site development, provide design of street conforming to the Master Street Plan. Construct one-half street improvement to these streets including 5 -foot sidewalks with planned development for Manney Road. 5.

Contact Central Arkansas Water if larger and/or additional water meter(s) are required. Central Arkansas Water has no objection to the closure of the right-of-way of Manney Street We do, however, have an 8 -inch water main in Manney Street Therefore, we request that the entire right-of-way of Manney Street be retained as a utility easement. Relocation of the existing fire hydrant at the west end of Indian Trail may be required in order for it to remain accessible. If there are facilities that need to be adjusted and/or relocated, contact Central Arkansas Water. That work would be done at the expense of the developer. This development will have minor impact on the existing water distribution system. Proposed water facilities will be sized to provide adequate pressure and fire protection.

Parks Department:Some retailers in this area have expressed interest as creating a tree boulevard in this area. Merchants in this area need to communicate. County Planning: No comment. CATA: The site is located on a dedicated CATA bus route, Route #25, the Highway 10 Express Route. Planninq Division: This request is located in the West Little Rock Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Commercial, Suburban Office, and a small section of Single Family for this property. The applicant has applied for a change from C-3 (General Commercial District) to PCD (Planned Commercial Development) to allow for redevelopment of the site as an office/commercial retail center. The Commercial shown in this area indicates that commercial activities are oriented toward Cantrell Road. The Suburban Office shown illustrates separation between the commercial and residential uses. In this specific application, commercial activities will be oriented towards Cantrell Road with the Office oriented the rear. The arrangement of uses in the building is consistent with the plan so a Plan Amendment is not necessary. Master Street Plan: Cantrell Road is shown as Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan and is constructed as a four -lane road through this section. The primary function of a Principal Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within urbanized areas. Commercial and Office Uses may generate significant traffic so access to the site from Cantrell Road should be limited. The highway department is planning on future addition of a center turn lane along this section of Cantrell Road to alleviate traffic concerns. Cantrell Road may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements. Bicycle Plan: Existing or proposed Class I, II, or III Bikeways are not in the immediate vicinity of the development. City Recognized Neighborhood Action Plan: The property under review is not located in an area covered by a City of Little Rock recognized neighborhood action plan. Landscape: The proposed parking areas along Cantrell Road do not provide for the eight -percent (1,015 square feet) interior landscaping required. The plan submitted is 560 square feet less than this requirement. A variance of this standard would require City Beautiful Commission approval. A six-foot high opaque screen, either a wooden fence with its face side directed outward, a wall or dense evergreen plantings, is required along the sites northern perimeter. An irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required. Revised plat/plan: Submit four (4) copies of a revised preliminary plan (to include the additional information as noted above) to staff on Wednesday, June 22, 2005.
