BACKGROUND:
FT. NEW STREET: 0
The Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat for this site on November 11,
1999. The applicant failed to pursue Final Platting within the time frame required by the
Subdivision Ordinance; therefore, the previous plat became null and void. The
applicant re -filed the plat as previously approved which was heard by the Commission
at their May 9, 2002 Public Hearing. The Commission approved the plat with the
requested variance to allow a minimum centerline radius of 75-feet by a vote of 10 ayes,
0 noes and 1 absent.
On August 8, 2002, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a revision to the
proposed preliminary plat to allow the subdivision of 24.26 acres into 49 single-family
lots. There was 4,950 linear feet of new street proposed within the development. The
applicant proposed the development to be final platted in three phases. Phase I would

include Lots 300 — 309.
The average lot size proposed was 115 feet by 140 feet or 16,100 square feet. The
density proposed was 2.7 units per acre; a very similar density to West Little Rock
development. The 100-year flood elevation was indicated at 264.00 feet. The
applicant indicated all lots would be filled to a minimum elevation of 264.00 feet and all
floor grades would be a minimum elevation of 265.0 feet.
All the lots within the original subdivision have been final platted. Final Plats were
executed on June 2, 2003 and February 17, 2004 (Lots 261 — 309).
