E. 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.

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant provided a revised site plan to staff addressing the issues raised at
the November 22, 2016, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised plan
indicates accessory structures, storage buildings and swimming pools will be
allowed within the development per the R-2, Single-family zoning district. Fencing
will be allowed per the R-2, Single-family zoning district. The revised plan indicates
the placement of an emergency access entrance extending from Rosemary Loop
to Denny Road.
The request includes a variance from the City's Land Alteration Ordinance to allow
grading of the entire development with the installation of the basic infrastructure of
the subdivision. The applicant has indicated some grading will take place within
the area identified on the plan as future development area. According to the
response letter provided from the Subdivision Committee comments, the applicant
has indicated the advanced grading is necessary to prevent hauling materials in
and out with the construction of each home.
The development is proposed with attached and detached one (1) or
two (2) story single-family homes. The homes are proposed as attached and
detached single-family homes. The homes are proposed with brick facades
and pre -cast concrete accenting architectural elements. The maximum building
height will not exceed the maximum building height allowed in the R-2,
Single-family zoning district.
A single subdivision identification sign is proposed. The sign will be incorporated
into an entry feature for the subdivision. The applicant has indicated the entry
feature may be a wall or some other architectural design element. The height of
the feature may exceed the wall and fence height typically in the R-2,
Single-family zoning district. The applicant is requesting approval to be allowed
the construction to be eight (8) feet in height with columns which may be
constructed with a maximum height of ten (10) feet. The sign area containing the
name of the subdivision will not exceed a maximum of thirty-two (32) square feet
in area. The lettering is proposed on both wall faces entering the subdivision. The
perimeter fencing around the subdivision may also be constructed eight (8) feet in
height with ten (10) foot columns.
The site plan indicates parking will be restricted to one side of the street on streets
proposed with a 24-foot pavement width. Parking will not be allowed on the
eighteen foot (18') private driveway in the rear of the attached homes. A note will
be included on the final plat for the subdivision and the restricted parking will be
addressed in the bill of assurance for the subdivision at the time of
final platting.
The neighborhood is proposed with a combination of attached and detached
single-family homes. For the most part the detached lots will consist of
fifty (50) foot wide lots. The lots are indicated with 20-foot front building setbacks,
I01111:11[0WAL01E:Id<[K.To
five (5) foot side yard setbacks and 20-foot rear yard setbacks. There are forty-six
(46) residential lots proposed in this configuration.
The inner core will consist of thirty-two (32) foot wide attached townhouses that
have access to a common fifteen (15) foot wide private drive on the rear. There
are eighteen (18) homes proposed in this area. The attached homes are proposed
with fifteen (15) foot setbacks adjacent to the streets and the rear yard is indicated
with a fifteen (15) foot access and utility easement with the building setback located
adjacent to the easement. The plat will include a no right of vehicular use access
easement along the street sides of these proposed lots.
The developer is proposing the development in multiple phases. The final platting
of the lots will occur in various phases depending on the market and demand.
Street improvements to Denny Road as per the Master Street Plan. The applicant
is requesting deferral of the striping of the left turn lane into the development along
Denny Road until the development of a portion of the site currently not under
consideration or review with the application. Staff is supportive of this request.
This property was included in a larger acreage and previously approved as a
Conditional Use Permit for the Pulaski Academy School campus. The school
decided to locate on Hinson Road for the main campus and has developed ball
fields only at this site. As a separate future application staff will work Pulaski
Academy to amend the previously approved Conditional Use Permit to provide a
site plan to the Commission for review and approval of a site plan that more
accurately reflects their existing and future plans for their remaining property.
Staff is supportive of the request and the requested variance for the advanced
grading. To staff's knowledge there are no outstanding technical issues
associated with the request. The site is proposed with single-family homes at a
density allowed per the City's Future Land Use Plan.

area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and
pedestrians on Denny Road since it is a Minor Arterial. This street may require dedication of
right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: A Class II Bike Lane is shown along Denny Road. Bike Lanes provide a portion
of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.
