Broadway Little Rock, AR Phone: 376-1323 AREA: 26.01 Acres NO. OF LOTS: 5 ZONING: 110-3" PROPOSED USES: Multifamily, Office X7n DT ANTrPq PROFIFSTFD : None A. EXISTING CONDITIONS FEET OF NEW STREET: 0 This site is platted into three lots, which consist of the Oak Hill Manor Nursing Home on what is currently Lot C-1, an undeveloped and wooded tract lying between Riley Drive and I-630 (Tract C-2), and another 200' x 825' lot between the nursing home and Kanis Park (Tract C-3), Riley Drive is presently constructed to 60' right -OE -way. B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL This is a proposal to replat three lots of the existing Kellwood Subdivision, Tract C into five lots for multiple uses. The purpose of this type of development is to provide a wide range of needed services for mature citizens through various st4ges of retired life. Complimentary uses by health care providers will also be sought. Rezoning has been initiated for changes of Tract C-5-R to "OS." (Open Space). Tract C-4-P, to "R-6" (high-rise for the retirement center). Tract C-1-R and C-2-R are appropriately zoned for the proposed use and W1 miry 11, 1982 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued Tract C-3-R will be converted from its present zoning of "0-3" to 110-1" without rezoning. The proposal also includes the dedication of the portion of Riley Drive, which is in Tract C. C. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS None. D. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS (1) Riley Drive was built as a private street in a 60' public use easement. Our records do not indicate that the street was built with approved plans and inspections. If_ the street is to be accepted as a public requirement, that it be investigated by the engineer as to its adequacy of design and construction and have any deficiencies converted. The investigation should include the pavement and drainage facilities within the right-of-way plus the ditches running north from the street. When the right-of-way is platted, drainage easements will be required for the existing drainage ditches. (2) Note that proposed Tract C-S-R is presently a public use easement which includes a part of Rock Creek and should be retained. F. ANALYSIS Staff's main concern with this plan revolves around the applicant's failure to provide a site plan indicating his total development scheme and tying down the location of buildings and drives, etc. The applicant apparently knows what his intentions are for this property. So he needs to pinpoint on a plan so that the staff will get a comprehensive view of the total development scheme. This is especially important on this particular property due to its sensitive nature because of its location next to Kanis Park, a portion in the floodplain, and possible development problems due to the extreme slope of parts of the property where plans for buildings have been indicated. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval, subject to site plan before property is rezoned. may 11 , 1982 SUBDIVISIONS Item No.-1 - Continued SUBDIVISION RECOMMENDATION: The applicant was present. He was not favorable to statf's suggestion requesting submission of an overall development scheme. Staff responded by indicating that�the plat as filed; {]] contained a pipe --stern lot, which is prohibited in this type of development; (2) presented the possibility of a loop street through the tracts which would provide a heavy traffic impact around the apartment buildings, and (3) prevented one from obtaining a clear picture of the development potential of the total tract, since in some instances, there was a problem with access due to slope. The applicant was instructed to provide further information demonstrating potential for access, possibility for Rock Creek floodplain dedication, and redesigning Lot C-3-R. A motion was made and passed to send this item to the Commission without recommendation. The vote was: 5 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (5-11-82) The owners attorney, Mr. Barrier, was present and offered a status report. Mr. Barrier requested that the plat and zoning issue be deferred two weeks in order to permit all of the points at issue sufficient time for resolution. The Commission voted 10 ayes, 0 noes and-1 absent to defer the plat as requested (deferred to May 25, 19.82). May 11, 1982 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 13 - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: At the request of Mr. Barrier, the applicant's attorney, the Commission deferred this item to May 25, 1982.

Applicant: Chris Barrier Location: Eastern Terminus of Riley Drive Request: Rezone from "0-3" General Office to "R-6" High -Rise .Apt. and "OS" Open Space Purpose: Six -Story High -Rise Apt./ Open Space Size: 4..56 acres + Existing Use: Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - I-630, Zoned "R-2" South - Nursing Home and Vacant, Zoned "0-3" East - Kanis Park, Zoned "R-2" West - Vacant, Zoned "0-3" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: No adverse comments have been received from any reviewing agency regarding this application. The applicant intends to construct a six -story, high-rise apartment which will be occupied in a cooperative arrangement by the elderly. Staff supports this project but thinks it inappropriate to grant rezoning until platting and site plans are available for review with the request. The magnitude of this request is such as to warrant close attention to the future development of the entire mountain of which this is a part. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends deferral until platting and site plan review are completed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. The applicant made a brief presentation discussing the development proposal for this property and discussed the ramifications of trying to arrive at a total site plan versus a tract -by -tract site plan. The discussion of this and various other concerns ensued for a period of time and finally the Commission moved to defer the matter to the May 11 Planning Commission meeting. The motion was passed: 7 ayes, 0 noes and 4 absent. May 11, 1982 Item No. 14 - Conversion Adjustments Owner: Applicant: Location: Request: Purpose: Size: 0MALIV rr)MMFrlm. Riley's, Inc.
