These further agreements were reached within the past few days as a result of continuing discussions among members of the Board of Directors, residents in adjacent neighborhoods and the Applicants. We believe that these additional proposals add value to the overall plan and address concerns about traffic and density. We 817527-v1 "t WRIGHT, LINDSEY & JENNINGS LLP May 19, 2009 1 Page 2 l respectfully ask the Board to consider farther amendment of the land use an zoning o din cm 0,_,� , )„ follows: 1. The Applicants agree that development of the approximately 20-acre 03 general office site (formerly designated as an MF18 Tract) will be limited to no more than 170,000 square feet. This change is consistent with assumptions employed by Peters & Associates in the development of the traffic study required by the City as a condition for consideration of the proposed land use amendments and rezonings. 2. In our letter to the Planning Commission dated January 28, 2009, a number of limitations upon development within the 03 general office zones were included. Among those was an agreement by the Applicants that the maximum size of any office building would be limited to a footprint of 20,000 square feet per floor and a height of no more than three stories for a total area of 60,000 square feet in any one office building. After further discussions, the Applicants have agreed to modify this limitation and further limit the height of any single office building to no more than two stories with a footprint of no more than 20,000 square feet per story for a maximum of 40,000 square feet per single office building. In addition, and response to concerns about traffic on the proposed Beckenham Drive and Wellington Plantation Drive, the Applicants have agreed to construct, subject to approval by the City's Public Works Department, traffic circles at the intersections of Beckenham Drive and Wellington Plantation Drive and at or near the current northern terminus of Plantation Drive before it enters the Subject Property. Construction and development of these traffic calming devices would be in addition to the commitments previously made by the Applicants in connection with the approval of the amendments to the Master Street Plan by the Planning Commission on October 2, 2008 and on April 2, 2009. The Applicants request that the ordinance which amends the existing Master Street Plan be further amended to reflect these commitments. If you have any questions concerning any of these proposals, we will be present and pleased to explain them in greater detail on Tuesday evening.

MAY ISAAC A. SCOTT, JR. BRUCE R. LINDSEY CHARLES C. PRICE JUDY RO BINSON WILBER JAMES R. VAN DOVER ELGIN R. CLEMONS, IR. CHARLES S. BOHANNON Hand Delivery We are attorneys for the Applicants ("Applicant") in connection with the above identified items and we are contacting you today on their behalf. At the October 2, 2008, Regular Meeting of Little Rock Planning Commission, the above identified items were presented for your consideration. All three items were approved by a majority of the Commission. Subsequent to Commission approval, and following continuing discussions with members of various property owners' associations and individual residents, Items Z-8165-A and Item LU08-19-02 were referred back to the Commission, at the request of the Applicant, by the City Board of Directors for consideration of an amendment to the pending application. In short, the amendment requests revision of the currently approved "MF18" zoning for the approximate 20 acre tract in the northern portion of the overall 134 acre parcel to an "0-3" designation. This matter was scheduled to come before the Commission at its meeting on December 18, 2008, however the Applicant sought and received approval for deferral when it learned that only seven members of the Commission would attend the December 8, 2008 meeting. Prior to the December 8, 2008 meeting, and in the weeks since that time, the Applicant has continued its discussions with members of the nearby neighborhoods and, more specifically, the Chenal Ridge Property Owner's Association ("CRPOA"), and has reached a set of January 28, 2009 Page 2 understandings with the CRPOA which will result in the CRPOA's endorsement of the pending application, subject to further modifications. Discussions with at least one other POA are ongoing and it is the Applicant's hope that further understandings may be reached ultimately with that POA. The purpose of this letter is to outline for the Commission the commitments which have previously been made by the Applicant and the additional agreements reached through further negotiations and discussions with the CRPOA. In the following paragraphs we will outline these modifications for your further consideration. I. First, we will address item MSP08-01, which was approved by a unanimous vote of Commission on October 2, 2008, and for which no subsequent amendments or modifications are sought. At the October 2, 2008 meeting, the Applicant submitted three commitments to the City which were read into the record and were made a part of the application at the request of the Applicant. These commitments included, as they were read into the record on October 2, 2008, the following: 441. 1. To immediately commence the design for Beckenham, Wellington Plantation and the completion of Rahling Road adjacent to the subject property and will commence construction of all streets, stormdrainage and related infrastructure as soon as practically possible allowing for all necessary governmental approvals. 662. To contribute up to $325,000 for construction of the portion of Beckenham outside of the subject property upon conditions that: (a) the City acquire the right-of-way for that portion of the street; and (b) the City cooperate with Deltic in the design and approval of plans for Beckenham such that construction of the entire street and related infrastructure may be accomplished as a part of a single project thus resulting in cost savings through the design, engineering and simultaneous construction of the entire street and related infrastructure. 443. To include as part of the Master Street Plan construction and installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Beckenham/Plantation Drives and Rahling Road." (In subsequent discussion at the October 2, 2008 meeting, it was mentioned that the City's Public Works' staff might prefer to install a traffic circle at the intersection of Beckenham/Plantation Drives and Rahling Road instead of traffic signals. The Applicant agreed that it would include construction of a traffic circle in lieu of traffic signals at that location, if requested by the City.) January 28, 2009 Page 3 No other proposed amendments or modifications to Item MSP08-01 have been offered nor are any presented for further consideration in this communication. II. Items Z-8165-A and LU08-19-02 were essentially considered together at the October 2, 2008 meeting. Prior to the October 2, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, the Applicant voluntarily amended its application to eliminate certain "permitted" uses and "conditional" uses from those otherwise allowable in the "C-3" zone for which approval was sought from the Planning Commission. A list of the remaining uses was submitted to you at the October 2, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, and was made a part of the item as approved by the Commission. 1. As a result of the Applicant's continuing discussions with members of the neighborhoods and representatives of the CRPOA, we have learned that among the most important concerns of the neighbors is that no "big box" uses or developments that could yield high traffic volume be located within the "C-3" or "0-3" areas. After exploring and discussing these concerns with representatives of the CRPOA we have prepared a further modification to the list of "permitted" and "conditional" uses and added certain other limitations upon development within the "C-3" and "0-3" areas and seek now to further amend the application to be consistent with these further modifications. Attached as part of this letter as Exhibit "A" is a copy of the "C-3" permitted and conditional uses which has been marked to illustrate the Applicant's initial voluntary limitations and to show those further limitations to uses in the "C- 3" zone. The list of those permitted and conditional uses which were voluntarily eliminated as part of the application approved at the October 2, 2008, meeting are shown in Exhibit "A" with a "single strike through line." In addition to the uses which were initially voluntarily eliminated by the Applicant, a further list of changes is highlighted with a "double strike through line" along with certain further limitations which have voluntarily been agreed to by the Applicant. The additional limitations in the C-3 zone may be summarized as follows: The Applicant has agreed to eliminate the following additional "permitted" uses: Item h. Bar, lounge or tavern; Item q. Cigar or tobacco stores uses are eliminated but the "candy store" use remains; Item yyy. Service Station. To the list of conditional uses in the "C-3" zone, the Applicant voluntarily agrees to add "Item x. Convenience food store with gas pumps," which would otherwise be a "permitted use." January 28, 2009 Page 4 From the list of conditional uses in the "C-3" zone, the Applicant agrees to eliminate the following: Item i. Home Center; and Item j . Eating place with drive-in service. In addition to the "use" limitations outlined above, the Applicant also commits that no single retail use will exceed 20,000 square feet. The Applicant believes that this limitation evidences its recognition and intention that the proposed future development be compatible with the existing neighborhoods surrounding the area. 2. With regard to those areas previously designated "0-3" and the area formerly designated as "MF18" for which the Applicant seeks an amendment to "0-3," the Applicant submits Exhibit "B" which shows a list of uses in the "0-3" zones which it has voluntarily agreed to eliminate from the "permitted," "conditional" and "accessory" uses. These items are shown on the attached list with a "double strike through line." Applicant has also agreed that "Item z. School (business)"; and "Item aa. School (public or denominational)" will become "conditional" uses instead of "permitted" uses. In addition, the Applicant has agreed that the footprint of any single building will not be more than 20,000 square feet and that no structure in any of the "0-3" zones will exceed three stories in height. III. In addition to the limitations set forth in Section II above, the applicant has further agreed to or acknowledges the following development criteria, limitations or provisions which shall apply to the various tracts, as appropriate: 1. All "C-3," "0-3" and "MF18" tracts adjacent to the single family residential tracts, shall include and comply with the City landscaping ordinance including, without limitation, construction of landscaping buffers around the perimeters of each as provided in the City's zoning code. 2. Access to the "MF18" property will be limited to access directly from Rahling or through the adjacent "C-3" or "0-3" areas. There will be no direct access from Wellington Plantation Drive unless the City requires an emergency or secondary entrance to the property from Wellington Plantation Drive. 3. All commercial, office and multifamily tracts within the overall development will be subject to site plan review by the City. January 28, 2009 Page 5 4. The Chenal Valley Commercial Bill of Assurance will be extended to cover all commercial, office and multifamily areas to insure the appropriate architectural review and approval as in all other commercial, office and multifamily areas within Chenal Valley. 5. All commercial, office and multifamily tracts will be covered by the Chenal Valley Property Owners' Association to insure that each is maintained and operated in a manner consistent with Chenal POA standards. 6. Deltic agrees to restrict all R-2 areas to single family residential use by restrictive covenants or other appropriate method. 7. With respect to Deltic property west of Rahling Road, Deltic commits that except for streets on the Master Street Plan, no neighborhoods lying west of Rahling Road will be connected to Rahling Road adjacent to the subject property and extending north to Pebble Beach. 8. The Applicant will fund and construct all necessary drainage and detention infrastructure along Rahling, Beckenham and Wellington Plantation through the subject 134 acres. These agreements are offered in good faith and as further measure of the Applicant's intention to recognize the need to carefully monitor development within the subject 134 acre tract. Please consider this the Applicant's request for amendment of its pending application in recognition that all requested uses and further modifications are less intense than the applications as approved by the Planning Commission at its October 2, 2008, meeting. Sincerely, WRIGHT, LINDSEY & JENNINGS LLP Jo n William. Spivey III JWS:jlh Enclosures (2) a Amuse mo^+ (Eliminated by Deltic w/ original proposal) (Eliminated in Jan. 2009) EXHIBIT "A" Sec. 36-301. C-3 General commercial district. (a) Purpose and intent. The C-3 general commercial district shall be applied to the broad range of retail uses which comprise the commercial function of the city including groupings of freestanding commercial structures. This section applies to such district. Permitted uses include most types of retail activity except those involving open displays of merchandise and those which generate large volumes of vehicular traffic or are otherwise incompatible with the purpose and intent of the C-3 general commercial district. Retail areas zoned C-3 general commercial shall be generally concentrated as to geographical configuration. It is anticipated, however, that in some situations, change to another commercial or office classification may be appropriate to permit the transition of strip retail areas to other productive forms of land use. It is the intent of these regulations that the C-3 district be concentrated at the intersection of arterial streets. Extension of this district along major arterial streets in linear fashion shall be discouraged. Outdoor display of merchandise is allowed under carefully controlled conditions. (b) Development criteria. All commercial uses shall be restricted to closed buildings, except parking lots, seasonal and temporary sales per section 36-298.4, and the normal pump island services of service station operations. In addition, outdoor display of merchandise is allowed in an area equal to one-half ( 1/2) of the facade area of the front of the building. Certain seasonal or special event sales may be allowed when the owner has requested a permit for such activity in conjunction with the privilege license application. The permitting authority shall review the owner's plan or placement of merchandise in order to assure that obstruction of drives, walks, required parking and fire lanes does not occur. In no case shall full-time static open display be permitted. (c) Use regulations. (1) Permitted uses. Permitted uses are as follows: a. , , b. Animal clinic (enclosed). c.

JR- CHARLESS BOHANNON Hand Delivery We are attorneys for the Applicants ("Applicant") in connection with the above identified items and we are contacting you today on their behalf. At the October 2, 2008, Regular Meeting of Little Rock Planning Commission, the above identified items were presented for your consideration. All three items were approved by a majority of the Commission. Subsequent to Commission approval, and following continuing discussions with members of various property owners' associations and individual residents, Items Z-8165-A and Item LU08-19-02 were referred back to the Commission, at the request of the Applicant, by the City Board of Directors for consideration of an amendment to the pending application. In short, the amendment requests revision of the currently approved "MF18" zoning for the approximate 20 acre tract in the northern portion of the overall 134 acre parcel to an "0-3" designation. This matter was scheduled to come before the Commission at its meeting on December 18, 2008, however the Applicant sought and received approval for deferral when it learned that only seven members of the Commission would attend the December 8, 2008 meeting. Prior to the December 8, 2008 meeting, and in the weeks since that time, the Applicant has continued its discussions with members of the nearby neighborhoods and, more specifically, the Chenal Ridge Property Owner's Association ("CRPOA"), and has reached a set of January 28, 2009 Page 2 understandings with the CRPOA which will result in the CRPOA's endorsement of the pending application, subject to further modifications. Discussions with at least one other POA are ongoing and it is the Applicant's hope that further understandings may be reached ultimately with that POA. The purpose of this letter is to outline for the Commission the commitments which have previously been made by the Applicant and the additional agreements reached through further negotiations and discussions with the CRPOA. In the following paragraphs we will outline these modifications for your tn further consideration. I. First, we will address item MSP08-01, which was approved by a unanimous vote of Commission on October 2, 2008, and for which no subsequent amendments or modifications are sought. At the October 2, 2008 meeting, the Applicant submitted three commitments to the City which were read into the record and were made a part of the application at the request of the Applicant. These commitments included, as they were read into the record on October 2, 2008, the following: "1. To immediately commence the design for Beckenham, Wellington Plantation and the completion of Rahling Road adjacent to the subject property and will commence construction of all streets, stormdrainage and related infrastructure as soon as practically possible allowing for all necessary governmental approvals. 442. To contribute up to $325,000 for construction of the portion of Beckenham outside of the subject property upon conditions that: (a) the City acquire the right-of-way for that portion of the street; and (b) the City cooperate with Deltic in the design and approval of plans for Beckenham such that construction of the entire street and related infrastructure may be accomplished as a part of a single project thus resulting in cost savings through the design, engineering and simultaneous construction of the entire street and related infrastructure. "3. To include as part of the Master Street Plan construction and installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Beckenham/Plantation Drives and Rahling Road." (In subsequent discussion at the October 2, 2008 meeting, it was mentioned that the City's Public Works' staff might prefer to install a traffic circle at the intersection of Beckenham/Plantation Drives and Rahling Road instead of traffic signals. The Applicant agreed that it would include construction of a traffic circle in lieu of traffic signals at that location, if requested by the City.) January 28, 2009 Page 3 No other proposed amendments or modifications to Item MSP08-01 have been offered nor are any presented for further consideration in this communication. II. Items Z-8165-A and LU08-19-02 were essentially considered together at the October 2, 2008 meeting. Prior to the October 2, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, the Applicant voluntarily amended its application to eliminate certain "permitted" uses and "conditional" uses from those otherwise allowable in the "C-3" zone for which approval was sought from the Planning Commission. A list of the remaining uses was submitted to you at the October 2, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, and was made a part of the item as approved by the Commission. 1. As a result of the Applicant's continuing discussions with members of the neighborhoods and representatives of the CRPOA, we have learned that among the most important concerns of the neighbors is that no "big box" uses or developments that could yield high traffic volume be located within the "C-3" or "0-3" areas. After exploring and discussing these concerns with representatives of the CRPOA we have prepared a further modification to the list of "permitted" and "conditional" uses and added certain other limitations upon development within the "C-3" and "0-3" areas and seek now to further amend the application to be consistent with these further modifications. Attached as part of this letter as Exhibit "A" is a copy of the "C-3" permitted and conditional uses which has been marked to illustrate the Applicant's initial voluntary limitations and to show those further limitations to uses in the "C- 3" zone. The list of those permitted and conditional uses which were voluntarily eliminated as part of the application approved at the October 2, 2008, meeting are shown in Exhibit "A" with a "single strike through line." In addition to the uses which were initially voluntarily eliminated by the Applicant, a further list of changes is highlighted with a "double strike through line" along with certain further limitations which have voluntarily been agreed to by the Applicant. The additional limitations in the C-3 zone may be summarized as follows: The Applicant has agreed to eliminate the following additional "permitted" uses: Item h. Bar, lounge or tavern; Item q. Cigar or tobacco stores uses are eliminated but the "candy store" use remains; Item yyy. Service Station. To the list of conditional uses in the "C-3" zone, the Applicant voluntarily agrees to add "Item x. Convenience food store with gas pumps," which would otherwise be a "permitted use." January 28, 2009 Page 4 zone, the Applicant agrees to eliminate the From the list of conditional uses in the "C-3" following: Item i. Home Center; and Item j.

Because you have expressed interest in the past, the City of Little Rock wanted to make sure that you knew of all new developments. The original applications for a rezoning and a land use amendment were approved by the Planning Commission on October 2, 2008. The applicant has now asked to amend the applications before the Board of Directors hears the items. The previously approved Land Use Plan amendment included an approximately 20 acre section of Multi Family along the northern edge of the property. The applicant would now like this to be shown as Office. This same piece of property was approved for Multi Family zoning, but the applicant would now like the property to be zoned 0-3 General Office. The applicant is also proposing to include additional conditions for the overall acreage as a result of neighborhood input. Please see the attached graphics for more detailed information. Please call 501-371-4790 if you have any questions or comments. These items will be heard before the Planning Commission on April 2, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. The Planning Commission will meet in the Board Chambers on the second floor of City Hall at 500 West Markham Street. 500 0 500 Scale 1 " = 500 ft PROPOSED ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS R-2 i \• 1 M F-18 to O-3 o= �©mrl A � 2 • ZONING MODIFICATION 3-12-09 Z-8165-A Mr. Philip R.

I know as members of the Planning Commission, you take your role seriously to protect the stability of existing neighborhoods and act as an independent body. My name is Jeff Cook and I am a Little Rock resident who resides in the Villages of Wellington subdivision. My home is adjacent to property that is the subject of a zoning application identified as Z-8165-A and LU08-19-02 located on the east side of Rahling Road south of Pebble Beach. On February 5, 2009, in your public meeting you voted to deny this application. The 30 day period for appeal of your denial expired without the applicant filing an appeal of the denial. It is my understanding that the City Attorney has voided your public vote to deny this application on February 5, 2009, directed that you only consider the many changes the applicant has made to his original application, and prevented you from exercising your prerogative as an independent body to deny this application. I respectfully object to these actions by the City Attorney that thwarted the will of this body to deny this application. I also respectfully object to the additional meetings the City Attorney has directed that you hold on this application and the restrictions he has placed on your deliberations. I am opposed to this zoning application and share the opinion of your professional Planning & Zoning Staff that stated "development of this area as something other than its current zoning of single family residential would introduce a level of traffic, noise, and light which would be detrimental to the existing adjacent single family neighborhoods". I am also opposed to the amendment of this application to add office space zoning (0-3), since it represents an even more intense land use and would further increase traffic, noise, and light pollution that would harm the existing single family neighborhoods. This applicant should not be exempt from the rules every other applicant is required to follow, including the requirement to file an appeal if he does not agree with the denial of his zoning application. I respectfully object to the actions taken in this matter including voiding the public vote of this Commission to deny this application on February 5, 2009, and allowing further consideration of this zoning application without the applicant filing an appeal of the denial of his application. Thank you for your consideration of my concerns. Respectfully, S. Jeff Cook March 30, 2009 Little Rock Planning Commission 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Planning Commission, j;�, -g, �, -2-4& 4 Thank you for your public service to the City of Little Rock and its citizens. I am a citizen of Little Rock and a resident of the Villages of Wellington Subdivision, which is adjacent to the property involved in this zoning application. I am writing to ask that you preserve the existing zoning and master street plan in West Little Rock and oppose this application to rezone and change the master street plan identified as LU-08-19-02, Z8165-A, and MSP08-01. I concur with the Planning and Zoning professional staffs recommendation to deny this application stating "development of this area as something other than its current zoning of single family residential would introduce a level of traffic, noise, and light which would be detrimental to the existing adjacent single family neighborhoods". The diversion of the westernmost portion of Beckenham Drive to connect to Wellington Plantation Drive (vs. Rahling Road), would further increase traffic through our neighborhood flowing north and south via Wellington Plantation Drive. If approved these zoning and master street plan changes would dramatically increase traffic, noise and light pollution that would threaten the stability of our neighborhood. The significant rise in traffic and number of non-residents moving through our neighborhood would increase the incidence of crime and create safety hazards for our families and children. These negative changes would decrease our quality of life and property values. I respectfully request that you deny this zoning application and master street plan amendment.

I know it is a difficult job at times and I know you must be torn often between interests of developers and those of neighborhoods like ours. My purpose for this letter is to oppose the rezoning of Rahling Road as outlined in Z-8165-A and LU08- 19-02. When we bought our homes, we bought them under the assumption much of that area in question would remain zoned for R-2 development. While I understand Deltic can make more money rezoning that area as Office and Commercial space, on the other hand it will cause our citizen's homes to decline in value and result in us losing money. As best I can tell, our single community with 600 homes pay some $1,800,000 in annual property taxes. That combined with the Hillsborough subdivision and 2 other subdivisions it approaches some $3 million or more in property taxes each year. From every appearance Deltic has requested change after change and bombarded your commission with so many changes and requests, frankly I do not know how you can keep up with it all and I think that may have been a factor in the commission denying their total request on February 5th. While Deltic and the City Attorney seem to think you and the commission were unclear as to what you were voting on, I ,as do the other members of our community, object to those assumptions and feel you and the commission were perfectly within your rights to reject the entire project. The folks from Wellington Colony whom I have spoken with and the 100 plus who have signed petitions and mailed letters in opposition, support the Planning Commission denial and feel you should have the ability to act as an independent body and not have restrictions placed on your deliberations. I am under the impression individuals representing Deltic, have given the commission the impression they have worked out all the changes with the communities surrounding the rezoned area and that could not be further from the truth. We are currently attempting to set up a meeting with them and their attorney, even though past meeting with some individuals resulted in Deltic simply saying something to the affect. "that is not up for discussion ........ or "there is no give on that issue". Our concerns are simple: 1) increased traffic flow on streets not equipped to handle it, 2) safety of our children who are able to walk to the pool and recreation area as they do at present, 3) safety from a crime stand point as more high density population moves into the area, 4) Noise and light level will increase dramatically, 5) large numbers of MF housing already exists surrounding Wellington Colony now with none of them at full capacity -some even offering 2 months free rent, 6) Currently there are a large number of vacant commercial properties on Rahling Road and Chenal at Rahling-we do not need more, 7) single family homes in our subdivisions are still moving and new homes are still being built in our areas -why build more office, commercial and MF housing. Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission, thank you again for taking time to hear our concerns with the current rezoning request for Rahling Road. We would prefer that the ❑riginal street plan with a higher level of R-2 housing not be changed to ❑ or MF to maintain the integrity of our neighborhoods and the safety of our children.

Kindest Regards, At,� " 9-,�J 7TZ.,Eg �k, CA2- 7 � To: The Little Rock Mayor, City Directors, and the Planning Commission: From: The residents of Hillsborough and the Hillsborough Property Owners Association Re: Rahling Road Rezoning Amendments: Z-8165-A, LU-08-19-02, MSP-08-01 Thank you for the opportunity to hear the concerns of the tax -paying residents of this Little Rock community. We are hoping you will weigh the needs of our community and support the Little Rock Planning Staffs position of denial of the proposed amendments (Z-8165-A, LU-08-19-02, MSP- 08-01). The Staff has worked diligently to gather all necessary information regarding existing zoning, land use and street traffic. It has consistently been their professional opinion that the existing City Plan is appropriate, and that the proposed amendments should be denied. The rationale for our opposition is enumerated below: 1. We are most concerned about the dramatic increase in the expected number of cars and potential traffic to the overall area, including residents along Rahling Road/Taylor Loop, Pebble Beach, Villages of Wellington, and all neighborhoods that feed into the Beckenham Drive collector street onto Hinson Road (including Hillsborough, Pleasant Ridge, the Pointe). This is unnecessary, unwise, and unwarranted based upon the original city plan, as indicated by Planning Staff. We hope that you will maintain the current land use/zoning plan. 2. The traffic study that was presented was paid for by Deltic Timber, and only took into account their proposed plan, and did not take into account the increased traffic expected from the fully functional Promenade at Chenal. Once that happens, traffic will increase still further. Thus, the projected traffic impact has been underestimated. The Pebble Beach community is against the proposed changes because although their traffic will be somewhat alleviated, if the overall net increase due to the changed zoning/land use is more than four fold, a 50% decrease of a 4X increase is still a 2X increase.... and, as one Pebble Beach resident stated in his opposing remarks on October 2, the increase is not worth it to them. 3.Given the fact that our pool and that of the Villages of Wellington are both on the street that would have this 4X increase in traffic (without sidewalks), the land use and zoning changes represent serious traffic and safety hazards in both neighborhoods. 4. Obviously, we have an early morning traffic problem from 7:15 to 8:15 when Pulaski Academy is in session that is bad enough without requiring a traffic light to handle Rahling Road traffic as well. 5. Our concern that the proposed zoning/ land use changes will result in significant increases in criminal activity in our neighborhood due to increased multi -family housing (MF18), as has already taken place in the Villages of Wellington streets that back up to the MF18 housing editions that were recently opened on Rahling Road, as well as in our own Hillsborough neighborhood. This has already increased need for alarm systems, locking doors and garages during the day. 6. West Little Rock is already over -built with alarmingly high vacancies in office and commercial building space in areas surrounding our neighborhood. The recent closing of Circuit City, Linens N Things, CompUSA, and David Claiborne, as well as the large numbers of vacancies in the new Promenade at Chenal strongly support Planning Staffs position that the proposed re -zoning of our residential neighborhood is completely unwarranted. Thank you for taking the time to consider our concerns. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

This ietzer was sent to Mayor Stodoia, City MarutSer Bruce T. Moore. and myself I was asked to review the matter and prepare a re- sponse to the, letter. The response is attached to this memorandum. The gist of the response is that the Commission crust hold a na-w nearing whicli clarifies hat the purpose is to consider only the proposed amendments to the original application. As noted in the write-up for the 03 Februar '269 rneeting, and the notice that was filed for that meet"rg, the action itch► was to consider the amendments to the application approved in October 2008. The Commission hearing went far beyond that Limited review. This situation raises a significant issue far both the Board of Directors and the Commission. There is no doubt that the ,Board has the autbority to send a matter back to the Commission for further review, However, if tha reason is because of proposed amendments to the application, the Board should indicate whether the roview is limited to the amendments, or if it is to be a eorrl.- plete review of the entire application as revised with the proposed amendments. The appeal pro- cedure grants an applicant the right to have an application heard by the Board of Directors. If the applicant chooses to go forward without any amendments, then that desire should be timely met. If not, the applicant needs to know the consequences of a .return to the Commission — i.e., will it be a de novo review of the entire application, or merely a .review of the proposed amendments. lrli.th,out this knowledge, the applicant really carttiot make a kno%ing and intelligent decision as to which course of action to take. Similarly, when the matter is sent back to the Commission, the Catrinission shouid specifi- cally note the scope of the direction thai it has been given. If the scope is to consider only amendraents, then the notice and the write-up (as in this situation,) should notify the applicant and other interested parties of that fact, P` the scope extends to the entire proposal. then the appli- cart anal the other parties are entitled to know that fact, 03/091"2003 08:13 5013714675 CITY ATTY PAGE 03;07 OFNCE OF THE CTTX -ATTORNEY Memerandem it Toay R+rynol rArcctoa ar Plinniap & .ncjupmcnt Re' Rakfiag trod Lied U■e & Zealq Atydicifoin y],L� US-�@.{+); TSI b5-A Gs Harsh 2009: P4C 7 nt2 Pease note that notlsing in this memomaduin limits the authority of the Board to send back a planning measure rhai does rror contain ammdmenrs. For example, if there is a changed circum- stance from the application befm the Board of Directors, the fact no proposed amendment to the application has peen presented does not preclude the 8oarC's authority to ask the Commission for farther review. As sa e.,tatnple, assume that the Department of Homeland Security; working with the FedcraI Aviation Administration, concludes that there ahould be a greater zone of non- developrnent around the airport and intends to implement his caw regulation at some point in the faiure. A Zoning mat= for consideration by the Board of Directors has approved a commer- cial development near the aitpert, but this now ruling from the federal government causes the Board of Directors to wonder about tralTlc and other issues. The Board is perfectly free to send the unamended application back to the Commission for its .review. The attached letter providm a more detailed analysis of the situation here. So, such analysis will .not be repeated. However, there are two important points to be made. 1. Absolutely nothing in this matter should be considered as a direttion, indica- tion, or suggestion, about the Commission's ultimate decision after this re- view; and, 2. This situation is not to be considered as a precedent for any future action since aay potential furtheT review would require the same careful fact intensive analysis given to this one. Of course, if the procedural changes outlined at the beginning of this memorandum are imple- mented-- i.e., the clarification of the reason for a return to the Commission of an application be- fore the Board of Directors — then virtually no future questions on this point should arise.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARTNG 13EFORE THP, LITTLE ROCK PLANNING CC1N p,0810N ON A REVISED APPLICATION TO RF"NL PR.OPLRTf at EXPLANAT oN (dated January 15, 2009) (emphasis sup- plied), The question then turns upon whether there was an appropriate hearing on the zoning application in Iight of the language quoted above which limited the scope of review, and the vote that was taken by the Commission. A letter was sent by your office on January 28, 2009, to note that additional unendmeuts had been made to the -application as a result of conversations with nearby neighborhoods. The letter specifically mentioned conversations with the Chenad Ridge Property Owner's Associa- tion. However, the notice referenced above was never clial ged to suggest that more th= the amendments were under consideration. In Arkansas, a planning commission is statutorily required to adopt rules and .regulations for the internal fulfillment of its duties. Ark. Code Ann. § 14-56-409 (West 2004). The Com- inission here has adopted by-laws for its operations. Article l of the bylaws states as their pur- pose It is the intent of this BYLAWS to prescribe the organization of th.e Little Rock Plannine Commission and. to establish orderly, equitable and eVeditious pro- cedures for the conduct of its affairs to the end that all may be informed and the public well .served. ARTIci,E I, Little ,Rock Planning Commission Bylaws ;ed. Augasl 7, 2008'1 (ernphaiis added). As noted above, the notice for the rebruary 5, 2009 tneeting, and the Staff Analysis o what! was under consideration at that meeting, are not consistent with the action taken by the Com- mission at the meeting. In short, the vote actually taken was neither orderly, nor equitable, as required by the Commission's bylaws, A hearing oil a topic beyond the noticed issue of �wmendrtrents to an application is not ap- propriate under the procedures that the City has adapted. The heat.-ing was not advertised as consideration of the entire zoning request, but oniy as to the arnmadrirments. Of course, thexe is a tight to appeal the action of fitc Ptanning Co: mt?ission to the Board of Directors. A simple question is wk'sether this right of appeal sLould suffice in this ci;currn stance, i.e., even if the aotionn-of the Commission went beyond the notice avid intent of the ap- plicaat, the Board of Directors is free to teviem the situation a:now. The problem, though, is 03r'09/2659 J6:15 5013714575 C:I'r1, A771' PAGE 06/'a7 OFFICE OF TFIE CITY RTTDRNSY Lellarlo.rohn William Spivey, in, Esquire Re: Ra?iliog Road Plonning Commiaaien br:ring of fehrnary 5.2009 Al2r[h 5,'2009: Pagc 3 or4 that tkie Planning Staff recommended against approval of this application. So, the applicant has to appeal a matter with staff disapproval, and a negative vote from the Commission even though what the applicant believed would be the nature of the Commission's action, and what the A'Votis.e said would be the nature of tho action, were difforent from what the Commission voted upon, In other words, the applicant believed tlta.t, caosistent with the direction of the Board of Directors, the revit:w was limited, yet the Commission voted uport an entice pmject including the approved portion fixim October, 2008. It is in this light that a mere appea`. is in- oquitable to the applicant, and to the public. It was clearly noted at the Commission that there was substantial interplay between the applicant and the neighborhood. With such agreement in place, and the review apparently lim- ited to the amendments to the origirwl. application, theme was really Sao rMon for more per- sons to testify in favor of the application. Had it been known that the entire scope of'the pro- ject under review, however, boat the applicant and the public would have had the opportunity to determine just how many proponents and opponents should have been present. Because the February 5, 2009, ]tearing was contrary to the notice, and contrary to the ini- tial write-up of the Planning Staff. the decision cannot be supported under an standard of be- ing equitable, It is totally inappropriate for. the Board of Directors to consider such an action from the Commission beyond what was referred to it by the Board. and beyond what was pro- vided for in the notice. Further, it. is inherently ux'ifair for the publicin opposition. to this ap- plication to have any weight of the .opposition diminished because on appeal the Board Mil have to recognize that the actions of the Pl liming Commission were arbitrary and oapiicious. Therefore, this office is informing the Commission that the only thing to do is to rehear this application. to coo.9ider only the amendments. Nothing in this conclusion is to be consid- ered an indication as to how the Commission should vote.

Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 RE: Subdivision Hearing Dear Chairman Taylor and Members of the Commission: I respectfully request you OPPOSE Items F and F.1, LU 08-19-02, Z8165-A and MSP08- 01 on your agenda tonight whereas Deltic Timber has filed an application to rezone the acreage on the east side of Rahling Road and South of Pebble Beach Drive. I am a resident of the Villages of Wellington which borders the property being considered for rezoning. The neighborhood of Villages of Wellington consists of 612 homes. We are bordered by three separate multi -family units, another neighborhood (St. Charles) and Fellowship Bible Church. I have been a resident of the neighborhood for five years and have tried to actively follow the growth and changes of the area. I have personally participated in numerous meetings regarding the rezoning of several acres now existing as Kirk Road and Fellowship Bible Church as well as when this current acreage was being considered by the Little Rock School District. Mr. Spivey and Mr. Daters have met a few times with some residents of our neighborhood. Most recently they met with a few board members of our property owners' association. Following that meeting, Mr. Spivey presented a letter to the Commission that he hoped to come to some agreement with our POA where we would support the rezoning application. As a member of the POA and a resident of the neighborhood, I am not in support of the application. And, I can represent that the majority of my neighborhood is not in support of the rezoning application. I am in opposition to this proposal in part because of the type of re -zoning requests. Most significantly, our neighborhood will be detrimentally affected by the change of zoning for the multi -family unit. Currently, the 134 acres being considered has an area already zoned MF, but where it is located is MUCH LESS intrusive to the residents of our neighborhood — it more closely borders Rahling Road. While I understand the City has a need for additional multi -family complexes to accommodate growth in population in the West Little Rock area, the multi -family complexes should not be concentrated all in one area. It is obvious that Deltic has a buyer for the property up for consideration. But, we are a small neighborhood when compared to the many neighborhoods in Chenal Valley. Considering the Chenal Valley advertisement that there are "31 neighborhoods, come live the dream," there are only 4 multi -family complexes surrounding or in immediate proximity to these 31 neighborhoods. Deltic has other land in Chenal Valley to promote the addition of multi -family complexes in West Little Rock. When you talk about MF units, the concern of crime inevitably follows. The majority of MF complexes do not have residents that stay there for long periods, usually the tenants are short-term residents. It is no coincidence that crime statistics are higher in areas where there are multiple MF complexes. Not only am I concerned about the change in location of the MF zoning, but I am also concerned about the type of commercial and office zoning that could be developed in this area should the application be approved. My immediate concerns regard the level and volume of traffic that would utilize the streets of our neighborhood and the type of noise and light that would ultimately stem from the development. While change and growth are hopefully for the better, it's not always the case. I am familiar with the Master Street Plan as it exists and where it shows the collector street, Wellington Plantation Drive extending all the way through to Rahling Road. Thus, it follows that a portion of the many proposals by Deltic of this 134 acres being considered has been the extension of Wellington Plantation Drive to Rahling Road, which benefits the City of Little Rock by providing a means for the private payment for this extension of infrastructure instead of the use of taxpayer funds. If the Members will recall, Wingate is a road that at one-time provided access onto Markham Street, but then was later barricaded for some reason. I am not familiar with the final decision to barricade the access, but the obvious reason certainly has to be to stop the traffic that was using it as a cut -through street from Markham to Mississippi and thereby, potentially endangering the residents of the neighborhood. The point is that even though the Master Street Plan shows Wellington Plantation Drive to extend to Rahling, this may not be a reasonable plan. Generally, the extension of Wellington Village Drive to Kirk Road has been a convenience to have another entrance/exit to our neighborhood, but it has clearly created a dangerous situation for the residents, especially the pedestrians and bicyclists that use Wellington Village Drive. Not only has the volume of traffic increased, but the speed of the traffic has increased. If Wellington Plantation Drive is also extended, it is most certainly going to become a cut -through street for many people traveling down Rahling going to Chenal or vice versa. There have been multiple complaints over the years from St. Charles residents that St. Charles Boulevard and Loyola Drive have become speedways, the extension of Wellington Plantation Drive will only further increase the activity through the neighborhood. Likewise, in reviewing Mr. Spivey's January 28th letter, it is noted that he has obtained the approval of the Chenal Ridge POA, which most definitely came after the amendment that completely removed the consideration of an "MF 18 and 0-3" to only a "C-3 and 0-3" area, thus, leaving our neighborhood being most affected by the remaining MF 18 zoned area. Because Mr. Spivey and Mr. Daters have negotiated with the Chenal Ridge POA to find a plan that would have less of an impact on their neighborhood, they have forced our neighborhood to become more active in opposing their application. I urge you, for the safety of our children and all the residents of Villages of Wellington, please deny the current application of Deltic for rezoning of the 134 acres and reconsider what you previously approved. Thank you for your consideration. CRT Cordially, /s/Casey Tucker Casey & Mike Tucker 7 Wellington Parish Cove February 6, 2009 VIA EMAIL — DearneY04ittlerock.or2 Honorable Chauncey Taylor, Chairman Little Rock Planning Commission 723 W. Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 RE: Subdivision Hearing Dear Chairman Taylor and Members of the Commission: I respectfully request you OPPOSE Items F and F.1, LU 08-19-02, Z8165-A and MSP08- 01 on your agenda tonight whereas Deltic Timber has filed an application to rezone the acreage on the east side of Rahling Road and South of Pebble Beach Drive. I am a resident of the Villages of Wellington which borders the property being considered for rezoning. The neighborhood of Villages of Wellington consists of 612 homes. We are bordered by three separate multi -family units, another neighborhood (St. Charles) and Fellowship Bible Church. I have been a resident of the neighborhood for five years and have tried to actively follow the growth and changes of the area. I have personally participated in numerous meetings regarding the rezoning of several acres now existing as Kirk Road and Fellowship Bible Church as well as when this current acreage was being considered by the Little Rock School District. Mr. Spivey and Mr. Daters have met a few times with some residents of our neighborhood. Most recently they met with a few board members of our property owners' association. Following that meeting, Mr. Spivey presented a letter to the Commission that he hoped to come to some agreement with our POA where we would support the rezoning application. As a member of the POA and a resident of the neighborhood, I am not in support of the application. And, I can represent that the majority of my neighborhood is not in support of the rezoning application. I am in opposition to this proposal in part because of the type of re -zoning requests. Most significantly, our neighborhood will be detrimentally affected by the change of zoning for the multi -family unit. Currently, the 134 acres being considered has an area already zoned MF, but where it is located is MUCH LESS intrusive to the residents of our neighborhood — it more closely borders Rahling Road.
