UTILITIES AND FIRE DEPARTMENT/COUNTY PLANNING: Little Rock Wastewater: Sewer main extension required with easements. Zero Capacity Fee analysis required. LRW has a policy that it does not approve developer funded projects where sewage will flow to a different subbasin. The Little Rock Water Reclamation Commission must consider these projects and decide whether to grant a waiver of the policy. (Updated as of February 2, 2017.) Entergy: Entergy Distribution does not object to this proposal. An existing three phase, distribution power line exists along Denny Road on the north side of this proposed development site. There do not appear to be any conflicts with existing distribution, electrical facilities. However, there needs to be some contact between the developer and Entergy's Transmission Department as there is a proposed road crossing on the Transmission Line easement on the south side of the property. Transmission lines are highly regulated and may have stringent requirements for right of way access and line crossing. Contact Entergy Distribution in advance to discuss future service requirements, new facilities locations and adjustments to existing facilities (if any) as this project proceeds.

Staff briefly described the revised Master Plan noting that some additional information was needed. In response to a question from staff, the proposed phase* of construction were discussed. The required street improvements with phases 1 and 2 were discussed. Public Works noted that a loft turn lane and tapers on Denny Road would be required for the easternmost drive with Phase 1 development. The additional Public Works requirements were also discussed. Street improvements and traffic issues were discussed at length. The landscape issues were also discussed. Bob Brown, of the Planning Staff, noted that the south buffer at the proposed soccer field needed to be increased to a minimum of nine (9) feet. The applicants indicated that the plan would be revised accordingly. After the discussion, the Committee forwarded the application to this full Co>mussion for final action. H. ANALYSIS - The applicant submitted a revised Master Plan drawing to staff on July 11, 2001. The revised plan addresses the issues as raised by staff during the review of the application and discussed by the Subdivision Committea.
