A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT:
The project contains approximately 43.93 acres, 139 single-family residential lots
and is located at 16901 Pride Valley Road. The northern portion of the property is
a manufactured home park that will be removed with the project. The rear of the
property is undeveloped. The applicant is proposing to develop the site with a
patio home residential neighborhood. The development is proposed with a mixture
of 50-foot and 60-foot wide lots. The homes are proposed with brick, stone, stucco
and/or hardi-board exteriors with architectural shingled roofs.

G. Transportation/Planning
Rock Region Metro: Location is not currently served by METRO but is in our long
range plans. The plan currently shows several loops and dead-end roads which
make future para-transit serve expensive. Loops and dead -ends add millage which
inflates costs for this mandated service. The plan also shows truncated sidewalks.
Provide sidewalks on both sides of the street and all roads for future pedestrian
access to the transit route.
Planning Division: This request is located in Ellis Mountain Planning District. The
Land Use Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) for this property. The
Residential Low Density category provides for single family homes at densities not
to exceed six (6) units per acre. Such residential development is typically
characterized by conventional single family homes, but may include patio or
garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain less than
six (6) units per acre. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from R-2 (Singe
10
FILE NO.: Z-9261 (Cant.
Family District) to PD-R (Planned Development Residential) to allow the
development of a single family subdivision.
Master Street Plan: North of the property is Pride Valley Road and it is shown as
a Collector Street on the Master Street Plan. West of the property is proposed
`West Loop' alignment' and it is shown as a Principal Arterial street on the Master
Street Plan. The primary function of a Collector Road is to provide a connection
from Local Streets to Arterials. A Principal Arterial is to serve through traffic and
to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the urbanized area.
Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and
pedestrians on `West Loop' alignment' since it is a Principal Arterial. These streets
may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for
entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There is a Class I Bike Path shown along the proposed `West Loop
`alignment'. A Bike Path is to be a paved path physically separate for the use
of bicycles. Additional right-of-way and/or easement is recommended. Nine -foot
(9') paths are recommended to allow for pedestrian use as well (replacing
the sidewalk).
H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT. (September 20, 2017)
Mr. Brian Dale and Mr. Scott Hurley were present representing the request. Staff

The project contains approximately 43.93-acres, 139 single-family residential lots
and is located at 16901 Pride Valley Road. The northern portion of the property is
a manufactured home park that will be removed with the project. The rear of the
property is undeveloped. The applicant is proposing to develop the site with a
patio home residential neighborhood.
The developer is proposing to construct the Boundary Street Improvements per
the Master Street Plan for the frontage along Pride Valley Road in conjunction
with the development of the subdivision. The development is proposed in
four (4) phases. The developer is proposing to complete the site grading with the
development of the subdivision which includes grading of the lots with the
installation of the streets and basic infrastructure in the first phase. To allow the
grading as proposed will require a variance from the City's Land Alteration
Ordinance.
The development is proposed with a mixture of 50-foot and 60-foot wide -lets. The
development is proposed with a front yard and rear yard setbacks of 20-feet on the
50-foot wide lots and a 25-foot front and rear yard setback on the 60-foot wide lots.
All lots are indicated with 5-foot side yard setbacks. The homes are proposed with
a maximum building height of 35-feet. The homes are proposed containing
1,500 to 2,500 square feet. The homes are proposed with brick, stone, stucco and
or hardi-board exteriors and architectural shingled roofs. Vinyl may be used for
the soffit and/or fascia.
The applicant has indicated fences will be allowed as per the R-2, Single-family
Zoning District. Fences are proposed along the rear and side yard lot lines
between the required building setback line and the street right of way of
six (6) feet in height. Accessory structures will be allowed per the R-2,
Single-family Zoning District to include setbacks as allowed within the Single-family
Zoning District. The buildable areas indicated on the proposed plat/plan are not
reflective of the placement of accessory structures.
The applicant is proposing to place a fence along the frontage, in a tract adjacent
to the right of way, constructed as an eight (8) foot tall brick wall with ten (10) foot
columns. The applicant notes a subdivision identification sign will be placed on
the brick wall. The subdivision name is proposed on each wall (both sides of the
street) entering the subdivision. The sign area for each of the signs will not exceed
32 square feet.
With the development of the subdivision 5,170 linear feet of new public streets will
be added. The streets are proposed within a 50-foot right of way with 27-feet of
pavement. Ozark Circle is proposed with a 45-foot right of way and 27-feet of
pavement. Sidewalks are proposed along Willow Point Drive. No sidewalk is
proposed on Ozark Circle.

FILE NO.: Z-9261 (Cont.
Upon approval of the rezoning request the applicant proposes to seek annexation
to the City of Little Rock to allow the development to receive sewer service from
the Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The applicant is seeking preliminary
plat approval via a rezoning to a PD-R, Planned Development Residential, to allow
the development of a single-family subdivision with lot widths and lot areas less
than the typical lot width and area allowed within the R-2, Single-family Zoning
District. The applicant has indicated development of a portion of the lots with
widths of 50-feet rather than the typical 60-foot lot width and lot areas with an
average of 5,750 square feet rather than the typical 7,000 square feet to allow for
development of lots with a more affordable cost. The lots are similar in size to lots
currently being developed just to the east of this site also along Pride Valley Road.
To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues
associated with the request. Staff feels the subdivision as proposed is appropriate.
J. STAFF RECOMMENDATIO
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff
report.
Staff recommends approval of the variance request from the City's Land Alteration
Ordinance to allow grading of the lots with the installation of the basic infrastructure
for the subdivision.

Mr. Graham Smith addressed the Commission on the merits of the request. He stated
the development was proposed consistent with single-family development. He stated the
mobile home park which had pasted its useful life would be removed. He stated his
company and partners were quality developers and would produce a well planned and
designed product.
Mr. Steve Giles addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. He stated he
was hired by Bill and Kathy Worthen to represent their interest in the development. He
stated he had met with the neighbors and explained the zoning process. He stated the
proposed land use was a concern for the area residents. He stated the number of homes
proposed with one (1) access to Pride Valley Road was a concern. He stated Pride Valley
Road was undersized to accommodate the traffic the subdivision would generate. He
stated everyone was well aware the site would develop but they felt the density was too
intense. He stated Pride Valley Road was a quiet street but with the development
proposed this would no longer be the case. He stated he was in support of the advanced
grading request which would limit heavy truck traffic on the substandard road. He stated
the amount of impervious surface to be added with the subdivision was also a concern.
He stated the run-off would be into Brodie Creek. He stated the development was
upstream from the Worthen property and their concern was the contaminates the
development would place into the stream.
Mr. Bill Worthen addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. He stated his
family owned property downstream from the proposed development. He stated they had
owned the property for four (4) generations. He stated the family would like for the
property to stay the way it currently was but the City was developing all around them. He
stated the applicant had indicated the sewer to serve the subdivision would bisect their
property which he was not in favor of. He stated the family property was a precious part
of Brodie Creek. He stated drainage was a concern. He stated there would be more
volume of run-off over the development. He stated this would have an impact on the eco
system downstream.
Mr. Allen Meier addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. He stated his
concern was quality of life concerns both for the residents of the area and the new homes.
He stated he was not against development but was against changing the zoning. He
stated Pride Valley Road was 16-feet wide and there were blind hills. He stated residents
of the area knew to stay to the right and to go slow when traversing the hills. He stated
140 homes each with two (2) cars on a 16-foot paved street was a concern. He stated
much of Pride Valley Road was not and would not be developed.
Mr. Dave Cloud addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. He stated his
home was on Tele Road which ended at his house. He stated the roads in the area were
narrow. He stated his concern was with the advanced grading. He stated the property
was rolling hills and he questioned the elevation change. He stated his concerns were
safety and congestion on the street.

Ms. Rebecca Herndon addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. She
requested the Commission table the issue until more of the residents could be involved.
She stated Pride Valley Road should be improved to Southwest Power Pool before the
development was allowed to occur. She stated she was not against development. She
requested the Commission table the issue until more persons were notified.
Mr. B J White addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. He stated he
bought his home on acreage. He stated he had a pond on his property. He stated Tele
Road was a private road but there were constantly cars coming down the road
sightseeing. He stated he was not sure how the septic would impact his pond.
Mr. Clayton Parr addressed the Commission in opposition of the request. He stated his
home was at 18 Mallard Point. He stated Pride Valley Road currently ended at his
property line. He stated he was fully aware of the Master Street Plan and the future
arterial street before he purchased his home. He stated Pride Valley Road was 19-feet
wide and was a chip and seal road. He stated an additional 18-feet of pavement would
be added in front of this development but the remainder of the road was unimproved. He
stated the Commission had recently approved a subdivision to the west of this site which
would allow 34 homes. He stated this in addition to the 140 home proposed with this
development would have a great impact on Pride Valley Road.
Mr. Graham Smith addressed the Commission stating his office was on Pride Valley
Road. He stated the speed limit was posted at 25 mph. He stated the density proposed
was 3 Y2 units per acre, well less than the six (6) units allowed within the current land use
designation. He stated the development would not be on septic but would be provided
sewer service by the City. He stated currently the manufactured home park was on one
(1) septic tank. He stated the homes would be removed, the septic tank removed and
would be a benefit to the area.
Mr. Brian Dale stated the development would provide stormwater detention as required
by City code. He stated all drainage was to the south and would discharge to the Brodie
Creek. He stated the advanced grading would allow the site to balance. He stated the
site would have a three (3) percent cross slope. He stated all materials would be kept
on -site.
Commissioner Laha questioned if the developer could fund the improvements to Pride
Valley Road similar to other cities such as Dallas. Mr. Smith stated his information
indicated Dallas funded their streets through taxation. Mr. Smith stated he was building
Kanis Road and would dedicate the improvements to the City. He stated he had also
made improvements to Pride Valley Road and had also dedicated the improvements to
the City.
Commissioner Latture noted the improvements were a requirement for development. He
stated he felt the same frustration as the residents of the area. He stated Kanis Road
and Bowman Road were both examples of streets that needed widening but there were
no funds to do so. He stated it was an issue that needed resolution but under the current
development pattern the streets would only be developed as the development of adjacent
property occurred.

15.It is believed the subdivision should be designed using Layman Lane as a second
improved access to Pride Valley Road.
Utilities/Fire Department/Parks/County Planning:
Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority: Outside the service boundary. No comment at this
time. The development must be annexed into the City limits of Little Rock to receive sewer
service for this development.
Entergy: Entergy does not object to this proposal. Single phase power lines exist along the
south side of Pride Valley road and extending into the northern edge of the development.
This extension will likely need to be adjusted to accommodate the proposed development.
Contact Entergy well in advance to discuss electrical service requirements, or adjustments to
existing facilities (if any) as this project proceeds. As this project builds out, then Entergy will
need to upgrade its electrical facilities along Pride Valley Road in order to meet the capacity
requirements of all four Phases.

Trans ortation/Plannin :
Rock Region Metro- Location is not currently served by METRO but is in our long range
plans. The plan currently shows several loops and dead-end roads which make future para-
transit serve expensive. Loops and dead -ends add millage which inflates costs for this
mandated service. The plan also shows truncated sidewalks. Provide sidewalks on both
sides of the street and all roads for future pedestrian access to the transit route.
Planning Division: This request is located in Ellis Mountain Planning District. The Land Use
Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) for this property. The Residential Low Density
category provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed six (6) units per acre.
Such residential development is typically characterized by conventional single family homes,
but may include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain
less than six (6) units per acre. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from R-2 (Singe
Family District) to PD-R (Planned Development Residential) to allow the development of a
single family subdivision.
Master Street Plan: North of the property is Pride Valley Road and it is shown as a Collector
Street on the Master Street Plan. West of the property is proposed `West Loop' alignment'
and it is shown as a Principal Arterial street on the Master Street Plan. The primary function
of a Collector Road is to provide a connection from Local Streets to Arterials. A Principal
Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers
within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects
of traffic and pedestrians on `West Loop' alignment' since it is a Principal Arterial. These
streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for
entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There is a Class I Bike Path shown along the proposed `West Loop `alignment'.
A Bike Path is to be a paved path physically separate for the use of bicycles. Additional right-
of-way and/or easement is recommended. Nine -foot (9') paths are recommended to allow for
pedestrian use as well (replacing the sidewalk).
Revised plat/plan: Submit four (4) copies of a revised preliminary plat/plan (to include the
additional information as noted above) to staff on Wednesday, September 27, 2017.
