B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
This site is located in an area that is presently
undergoing a significant amount of new single family
development. South Fork Taylor Loop Creek abuts this
land on the north. Buckingham Drive abuts on the east
and Taylor Loop Road on the south. Lot 9 is separated
from Lots 1 through 8 and proposed Taylor Loop Road
abuts on the southeast. There are no significant
structures on the property.
C. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
1. Show method of crossing Taylor Loop Creek.
2. Provide temporary turnaround.
3. Show preliminary street grades and drainage.
4. Provide minor arterial right-of-way and
improvements on Taylor Loop Road.
5. Conflict in street name. (Buckingham)
D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESI_GN:
1. This plat is attached to a development agreement
with the City Park Department. The Parks Director
will provide information later on construction of
the east side -of the street.
2. Establish exact relationship with 100-year Flood
Plan to this plat. Two lines are now indicated.
3. Provide written agreement to build and dedicate
the east half of Taylor Loop Road as may be
required by #1 above.
4. Staff has questions regarding title of Lot 9.
E. ANALYSIS:
Staff's review of this preliminary plat reflects little
in the way of problems internal to the plat. There are
several boundary issues dealing with coordination of
Taylor Loop Road, dedication and construction with the
City Parks Department. A concern which should be dealt
with is the written agreement to the City of Little
Rock Parks Department to dedicate right-of-way and
build east the half of Taylor Loop Road.
