BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 21,501 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on November 7, 2017, rezoned this site from R-2, Single-family District to PD-R, Planned Development Residential District. The project contained approximately 43.93 acres and was proposed with 139 single-family residential lots. The applicant proposed to develop the site with a FILE NO.: Z-9261-A (Cont. patio home residential neighborhood. The development was proposed with a mixture of 50-foot and 60-foot wide lots. The homes were proposed with brick, stone, stucco and/or hardi-board exteriors with architectural shingled roofs. The developer was to dedicate the right of way and construct'/ street improvements to Pride Valley Road. The following additional conditions were placed on the proposed development: the developer was to provide the right of way dedication for the future arterial located near Tele Road, this did not include construction or a payment in -lieu for the street construction; the developer would provide a minimum pavement width of 20-feet on Layman Lane from Pride Valley Road to the boundary of the future right of way abandonment of Layman Lane to serve as secondary access for this development, this did not include the placement of curb and gutter or sidewalk; the developer was to work with staff to provide an adequate turn -around for the secondary access; the right of way for Layman Lane was to be abandoned with the Phase 2 portion of the proposed PD-R, Planned Development Residential plat; traffic calming devices were to be installed along Willow Point Drive as warranted. The approval included a variance from the City's Land Alteration Ordinance. The approval allowed with the first phase of construction the entire site would be graded to make the earthwork balance and prevent the hauling of material over local streets. Grading activities on the site are currently underway. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT: The applicant is now proposing to revise the previously approved PD-R, Planned Development Residential District, to expand the land area and increase the number of proposed lots. The project contains 56.22-acres and is proposed with 175 residential lots. The northern portion of the property was recently used as a manufactured home park. The units have all been removed. The rear of the property is undeveloped. The applicant is proposing to develop the property into a patio home single-family residential neighborhood. The development is proposed with 50-foot wide lots. The homes are proposed as brick, stone, stucco and/or hardi-board exteriors with architectural shingled roofs. The developer will dedicate the right of way and construct'/ of the Master Street Plan requirements to Pride Valley Road. Along this frontage, in a tract adjacent to the right of way the applicant is proposing to construct an eight (8) foot tall brick wall with ten (10) foot columns. The developer will provide the right of way dedication for the future arterial located near Tele Road. This does not include the construction of the future arterial or the payment in -lieu of the street construction. The developer will also provide a 20-foot paved access on Layman Lane from Pride Valley Road to the boundary of the right of way abandonment for Layman Lane to serve as secondary access for the development. This improvement does not include the placement of curb, gutter or sidewalk. 4 FILE NO.: Z-9261-A (Cont. Along the eastern property line, years ago, Layman Lane was platted as a 30-foot wide right of way. The developer is requesting the southern 3,190 linear feet of the right of way be abandoned with this application. The area will be retained as an easement. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS - A manufactured home park was located along Pride Valley Road but all the units have been removed.
