Box 3837 Little Rock, AR 72209 Little Rock, AR 72203-3837 Phone: 372-1700 Phone: 375-5331 AREA: 51.922 acres NO. OF LOTS: 4 FT. OF NEW ST.: Plan A, 2,000 ZONING: "R-211, 9'C-4", "MF-18" PROPOSED USES: Single Family, Commercial, "MF-18" PLANNING DISTRICT: 15 CENSUS TRACT: 41.05 VARIANCES REQUESTED: None A. Site History A proposal for the rezoning of this site from "MF-18" and "R-2" to "C-4" and "MF-18" was reviewed by the Commission on December 13, 1983. It was decided that a plat would be needed to address street issues, such as the classification of the Chicot Road, Mabelvale Pike and a proposed street through the property. The item was not forwarded to the Board. B. Existing Conditions The land involved is basically flat and almost entirely covered by mature vegetation. It is bordered on the west by North Chicot, on the north by Mabelvale Pike and on the south by I-30. October 9, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued C. Development Proposal 1. The applicant has submitted a plan for review by the Commission. He has requested: a. Approval of future lots to be platted according to the minimum lot sizes for the appropriate zoning district. b. In the event of development of lots which will be subsequently platted, construction of the approvements shall be limited to the frontage on the roads abutting said lots and shall not be required until the lot is actually improved. 2. It proposes a collector street which begins at the norteast corner and forms an arc through the property to a point where it would connect with the westward extension of Mabelvale Pike from North Chicot Road. Both the proposed collector and that portion of the eastern side of North Chicot Road, between the I-30 access road and the point at which the new collector would intersect North Chicot Road, will be improved to collector standards. Improvements to the rest of the eastern side of North Chicot Road, and that portion of Mabelvale Pike running along the entire northern boundary of the subject property, would only include widening the road and reshaping the curvature in each ditch but not the provision of curb/gutter or other boundary improvements associated with a collector street. D. Engineering Considerations (Plan A) 1. Dedicate right-of-way and improve North Chicot Road from I-30 to New Mabelvale Pike to collector standards. 2. Dedicate right-of-way and improve North Chicot Road from New Mabelvale Pike north to east leg of Mabelvale Pike to residential street standards. October 9, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued 3. Dedicate right-of-way and improve Mabelvale Pike on the northern boundary of the property to residential street standards. 4. Intersection of new collector with Mabelvale Pike to be approved by the City Traffic Engineer. 5. A.H.T.D. will need to approve access and improvements along I-30 access road. E. Analysis The applicant has submitted two plans for review, but has stated an intention to develop only one, as determined by market conditions. Staff is not opposed to this nor the future platting of lots according to ordinance standards. We have not agreed, however, with his proposal for improvements. Improvements to the street should be provided as stated by the City Engineers. Staff is favorable to the applicant's proposal for a collector through the site. It provides a good connection to Chicot Road. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Plan A. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant was requested to get with staff and Engineering to decide which improvements would be provided and clarify different aspects of both plans. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant, Mr. Jim Hathaway, who represented the developers, was present. There were no opposers. There was no vote on this item since the Commission voted to approve Plan B (see No. 1A).

In the event of development of lots which will be subsequently platted, construction of the improvements shall be limited to the frontage on the roads abutting said lots and shall not be required until the lot is actually improved. 2. This plan will be developed only if all of Tract "B" and/or all of Tract "B" were purchased simultaneously. Then a new collector would not be required, but all of the Mabelvale Pike frontage and all of the North Chicot Road bordering the property would be improved to collector standards. Engineering Considerations (Plan B) 1. Dedicate right-of-way and improve North Chicot Road to collector standards. 2. Dedicate right-of-way and improve Mabelvale Pike to collector street standards. 3. The proposed roadway improvement at North Chicot Road and Mabelvale Pike is satisfactory. Request plans to modify the intersection of Carolina Drive. 4. A.H.T.D. to approve access and improvements along the I-30 access road. E.

Improvements to the street should be provided as stated by the City Engineers. October 9, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. lA - Continued This plan indicates no collector street. If it is approved, then staff recommends the combining of Lots B, C and D so that there will be a two lot plat. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant was requested to get with staff and Engineering to decide which improvements would be provided and clarify different aspects of both plans. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Jim Hathaway represented the developer. There were no opposers. He explained that the only difference between the two plans were the provision of the collector through one. Due to several months of research, it was his determination that building both a collector and boundary streets on the plan would not be cost-effective, thus, he requested a waiver of the street improvements. Justification for submission of both plans was based on the reasoning that a collector would not be necessary if the land was sold as one tract. If it was further subdivided, however, the road would be necessary to build a collector. There was a cost difference of $150,000 in the plans. Staff stated their preference for no lot lines on Plan B, since the applicant would have to come back to the Commission to get rezoning to accommodate each use. The Commission expressed their reluctance to approve both plans at once. They asked the applicant his preference, which was "Plan B," the one without the collector. It was decided if he sold the tract in anything other than its entirety, he would have to come back to the Commission. On this basis, a motion was made for the approval of Plan B. The motion passed by a vote of: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent. N :7 City of Little Rock Office of Comprehensive _ Planning October 30, 1984 City Hall Markham at Broadway Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 371-4790 Mr. Jim Hathaway Hathaway/Moore & Associates, Inc. 1500 Worthen -Bank Building Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Hathaway: Please be advised that the following comments were received from the Little Rock Waste Water Utility after the meeting at which the Orbit Subdivision was approved: _1 "The site is located within a sewage drainage basin designated as #39. There have been wet weather overflows of the inter- ceptor serving this basin in the Hindman Park -Lewis Road area. There has also ,been concern about possible dry weather overflows occurring as the "build -out" of the drainage basin continues. This project would escalate that danger substantially because it would generate an estimated average daily flow of 270,000 gallons. Although we have no firm field data to verify this condition at the present time, We advise caution and recommend a phased development." You will still be required to adhere to the comments. Any specific questions should be directed to Mr. Fred Schlegel of the Waste Water Utility. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to call. Sincerely, B.

Existing Conditions A developing commercial corridor on the north side of Interstate 30, the land has been partially cleared and no grade or drainage issues exist. April 7, 1987 SUBDIVISIONS Item 3 - Continued B. Development Proposal To create one commercial lot out of the current Tract C and to title this Lot G consisting of 168' of frontage and a variable depth up to 5001. This plat was approved initially as a mixed use preliminary. Several lots have been sold. A commercial use is being constructed at the corner of Chicot Road and an apartment complex was recently completed lying to the north. C. Engineering Comments Boundary street improvements are required on North Chicot Road and Mabelvale Pike. Stormwater detention required on -site also. D. Analvsis The Planning staff view of this proposal is that it is entirely appropriate. The owner has committed to the extension of the 40' buffer across Tracts C and G in the fashion required for Tract F on the corner. We believe this will provide for a more livable environment for the apartment dwellers on the north lot being Tract E. E. Staff Recommendation Approval of the plat as filed.
