Phone: 664-7291
12013 Hinson Road
ENGINEER:
Robert J. Richardson
12015 Hinson Road
Little Rock, AR 72212
AREA: 12.4 Acres NO. OF LOTS: 14 FT. OF NEW ST.: 700'
ZONING: "I-2," "I-3," "R-2"
PROPOSED USES: Offices
VARIANCE REQUESTED: None
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The land involved can be generally described as
gently sloping, wooded and already consisting of varied
uses on some lots. The existing structure on Lot 1
yields an office use, and Lots 13 and 14 have
florist/nursery and hairstyling businesses. Lot 1 is
currently served -by a drive from Hinson Road. Access
to the other lots is provided by Hinson Loop Road,
which is in need of improvement. The western boundary
of the property abuts a condominium development.
B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
This is a plan to develop the property into 14 lots for
office use. Seven hundred linear feet of new street
and 1,250 linear feet of one-half street improvememts
to the existing streets will be provided. Since the
parcel lies within several zoning districts, the
applicant will request rezoning to "O-3."
C. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
None, except notices to adjacent property owners.

Item No. 3 - Continued
D. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
1. Provide a 4' sidewalk.
2. Hinson Road - provide pavement widening and curb
. and gutter alignment for one-half of a 48' street.
3. Hinson Loop Road 1/2 of 27' pavement widening and
curb and gutter alignment.
E. ANALYSIS
There is no major opposition to the plan as proposed.
Staff is concerned, however, with the sight distance
problem at the intersection of Hinson Road and Hinson
Loop Road. The applicant has also failed to identify
on the plat lots which are currently in use. Since
this is a commercial/office subdivision, boundary
improvements will have to be completed at the initial
stage, if a phasing plan is submitted. The condominium
use adjacent to Lots 5 and 6 requires the provision of
a 40' buffer and a 6' fence. This will significantly
impact these lots.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval, subject to the comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant was present. Engineering commented that they
weren't concerned with site distance with this plat. It was
noted that 25' of the 40' buffer required on that side of
the property adjacent to the condominium development could
be used for parking, so the applicant agreed with all of the
recommendations. A motion was made for approval subject
to:
1. 4' sidewalk.
2. Hinson Road - 1/2 of 48' pavement widening and curb and
gutter alignment.
3. Hinson Loop Road - 1/2 of 27' pavement widening and
curb and gutter alignment.
4. 40' buffer and 6' fence.
The vote was 4 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
