Samuel L. Davis 5301 West 8th Street Little Rock, AR NO. OF LOTS: 30 FT. NEW STREET: 860 ZONING: "R-2" Single Family PROPOSED USE: PLANNING DISTRICT: 2 CENSUS TRACT: 23.05 Single Family WAIVERS: Cul-de-sac length - 811 feet requested 750 foot max A. Proeosal To preliminary plat 30 single family lots on an elongated tract bounded by an arterial street on the west and a collector street on the north. A single point of access is proposed off Napa Valley. The lot sizes will be 60 feet wide by 120 feet in depth. They will be somewhat deeper in the second phase of the plat. The cul-de-sac proposed is in excess of the ordinance maximum at 811 feet. Napa Valley and Rainwood are proposed for widening per Master Street Plan. B. Engineering Comments 1. An access easement should be provided along the west line of Lot 21 in order to access the detention area to the south of Lots 21 and 23. This access should be called out in the Bill of Assurance so that no fences, structures, or other Auq.u.s t 11, .1987 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 3 - Continued impediments to the movement of traffic or equipment be placed in the easement. This -is to ensure proper access for maintenance of the detention facilities. 2. The Engineering Department requires that access for individual lots for driveways off Rainwood be designed as joint driveways on every other property corner. This is to produce less conflict with traffic movement. C. Analysis This tract represents one of the few remaining undeveloped parcels in the area. It presents some problems for design as well as significant street improvements. Planning and the Engineering staffs feel that an access off Rainwood with a cul-de-sac backing lots to Napa Valley will avoid a potentially bad access situation. We would recommend that a design be pursued that would simply turn the street from its present cul-de-sac location northward into Rainwood. The length of the cul-de-sac would be generally the same and the design circumstances with respect to sidewalk and street construction should be very similar. D. Utility Comments The receiving agencies at this time report the plat is approved as submitted. These were AP&L and Arkla. E. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to: (1) Sidewalks on the internal street and resolution of the sidewalk issue along Rainwood which currently calls for sidewalks on the north side of the street. ( 2 ) Street improvements of 36 feet in 60 foot of right-of-way on Rainwood Road. August 11, 1987 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 3 - Continued (3) Forty-eight (48) foot street improvement in an 80 foot right-of-way on Napa Valley Road. (4) Minor plat omissions. (5) A uniform plan presented to control access to the lots between the new street and Rainwood. Access should be provided to these lots from one side or the other but not both. (6) Explain the dimension relationships on the unique cul-de-sac building line. (7) Engineering comments. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE ACTION: (7-23-87) At the meeting, the Engineering Division reported that it had changed its position relative to access onto Napa Valley. Mike Batie reported that due to site distance problems at the current Rainwood intersection that a safer access could be had onto Napa Valley. A brief discussion was held concerning whether sidewalks should be assessed on Rainwood on this plat rather than the subdivision along the north side. It was determined that sidewalks along Rainwood were not an issue for this plat. The engineer and owner agreed to resubmit a revised plat before the meeting on the llth with an attempt to resolve design of the street relative to a cul-de-sac on the east end and resolution of acquisition of the easternmost part of this proposal. The owner indicated if he cannot acquire the eastern parcel of this plat proposal, he will build a hammerhead rather than a cul-de-sac at the east end of the street. The reduction of the street to a hammerhead and a shortened length will eliminate the requirement for internal sidewalks. August 11, 1987 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 3 - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (8-11-87) The staff offered its recommendation of approval and added comments on design and the deletion of the eastern 10 lots from the plat now owned by the applicant. Mr. Norman Holcomb and Sam Davis, the project engineer, were present representing this plat. Mr. Holcomb addressed the staff comments and agreed to omit the unowned parcel after being directed by the chairman, Mr. Rector. A lengthy discussion followed wherein design details were worked out on the street termination, rear drive access, and Rainwood driveway entries. The reduction of the plat area and shortening of the street eliminated the requirement for sidewalks. The street standard for the subdivision is reduced by its length to a minor street thereby permitting a 45-foot right-of-way and a 24-foot pavement. At the conclusion of this lengthy discussion, a motion was made to approve the plat either as a cul-de-sac or loop street out to Rainwood on the north with a maximum of 18 lots. The drainage along the east line of the plat is to be open swale with Public Works Department approval of the drainage design. The private drive along the south lot lines are to provide a stub -out to Carrollton Circle. This rear drive is not to connect with Napa Valley. However, it may be extended to the east line of Lot No. 19. The driveway access points off Rainwood Drive to serve the lots are to be common access at every other property line. Internal turnaround provisions are to be made on the lots so as to permit cars to enter Rainwood head -in. Included in the motion are comments of the staff relative to design. These are items 2 and 3 dealing with boundary streets. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent, 1 open position. SUBDIVISIONS Item No. NAME: -FO �j APD1,1 .
