Box 868 Little Rock, AR 72203 10 -e AREA: acres ZONING: "I-2" Otter Creek Industrial Park I-30 and Mabelvale West Road ENGINEER: Garver and Garver llth and Battery Streets P.O. Box C-50 Little Rock, AR Phone: 376-3633 NO. OF LOTS: 53 FT. OF NEW ST: 7,300' s.- PROPOSED USES: Industrial VARIANCES REQUESTED: None A. EXISTING CONDITIONS This site is located in what is mainly an industrial area. The land involved is vacant and bordered on the south by the Mopac Railroad, on the west by other industrial uses and Interstate 30, on the east by Bowen Road and on the north by Mabelvale West Road. 1400' of a fully constructed 48' street is in place. Another existing street running east and west is minimally constructed of asphalt and gravel. B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL This plan proposes to develop approximately 140 acres into a 53-lot industrial subdivision. Lot sizes will range from 0.6 to 10 acres. Included are plans to construct 4400 linear feet of 45' street and 2900 linear feet of 36' street. Right-of-way for a future interchange at I-30 will be reserved. C. CONFORMANCE TO ORDINANCE Variances have been requested, however, the plat may need minor technical revisions such as lot and tract numbers, etc. July 13, 1972 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 10 - Continued D. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS None. E. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS 1. Improve Mabelvale West Road to minor arterial standards adjacent to the plat. 2. Dedicate interstate right-of-way as a part of this platting process. Construct the new frontage road as shown in the interstate right-of-way. The interstate right-of-way geometrics must be approved by the Highway Department. Interstate right-of-way property must be dedicated and constructed in conjunction with the final platting of the adjoining lots. F. ANALYSIS The only major issue involved with this plat is whether or not a portion of the east -west street shall be closed since there is a parcel of land to the east which could lose some access. The applicant has stated that this is not a dedicated street. Even so, it is a prescriptive right-of-way which the public has used for years. Staff sees no problem with closing the street off since the adjacent property will have frontage on Mabelvale West. A sewer extension to serve this area will be required and no connections will be allowed until the new Treatment Plant is completed in mid-1983. G. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval, subject to comments made. H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Committee discussed this matter at length with the following results: 1 ) The City Engineer and the owner are to meet and resolve differences over dedication of and building some of the frontage load on I-30. 2) The Engineer is to document source of the street dedication to be closed. July 13, 1972 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 10 - Continued 3) Provide evidence that abutting owners are not opposed to closure. 4) The engineer to report on findings at the meeting on July 13th. The Committee voted to pass this item to the full Commission without recommendation. The vote: 4 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Ronnie Hall represented the applicant. Staff reported that the applicant had submitted a revised plat reflecting plans for phasing and the agreement worked out with Engineering. A letter' from an abutting property -owner who was unable to attend, was read. Ms. Lillie Thomas stated that a part of her property would be crossed by entrance and access ramps from the interstate, thereby making it useless. After a brief discussion, a motion was made and passed for approval. The vote was: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
