Re: Subdivision Application and Long Form P.Z.D Application for La Marche Place, 16800 La Marche
Drive, Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas
Mr. Thrower,
Please find attached the Subdivision Application, 2 copies of the Preliminary Plat, Bill of Assurance,
Long Form P.Z.D Application, 2 copies of the survey, and 2 copes of the Site Plan for your review.
We are requesting rezoning from R-2 to PD-R.
The site is to construct 14 two story single family detached homes at a density less than 12 units
per acre. The access to each unit will be through a private drive built to City Standards conforming
to the necessary turnarounds for fire apparatus and sanitation. The developer desires to create lots
for each unit so that he may sell at some point in the future, but he currently plans to own and lease
all of the structures. Each unit has a single car garage and an eighteen -foot driveway to the back of
curb. A CLOMR-F has been filed with FEMA to fill all lots within the 100 Year Floodplain to have a
finished floor elevation at least a foot above the base flood elevation of the adjacent stream. A
LOMR-F will be sought once the work is complete and the plat for the subdivision has been filed.
The applicant desires an to pay an in -lieu fee rather than provide onsite stormwater detention.
Given that we are discharging all offsite and onsite flows directly into the the large existing
drainage way to the east, we assert it is better to allow our flows to cycle through the system faster
rather than holding them back and waiting for higher concentrated flows along that stream.
If you have any questions or comments, please call me at 501-851-3366.
Sincerely,
J. Eric Holloway, PE S
