Item No. 6 - File No. 346-B
NAME:
South Oaks Apartments (UALR
Revised "PRD")
LOCATION: Southeast corner of Fair Park
and Lucy north of Asher Avenue
APPLICANT/ENGINEER:
Bob Richardson
1717 Rebsamen Park Road
Little Rock, AR 72202
664-003
REQUEST:
Waiver of 25-foot building setback line along Fair Park
Boulevard.
STAFF REPORT:
The applicant is requesting to revise an approved PUD, which
consisted of 240 units on 5.79 acres. The only change is a
waiver from the normal 25' building setback along Fair Park
Boulevard to 151. This is required because City Engineering
desires to hold the existing west curb alignment on Fair
Park Boulevard. This requires that all widening of Fair
Park Boulevard be accomplished on this project. City
Engineering felt that this was an undue burden on the
project. The 15' setback is adequate to provide the needed
site distance from the intersections.
The applicant has stated that the unneeded right-of-way on
the southwest corner of the property will remain. The agent
for the owners to the south of the right-of-way prefers not
to participate in the closing of the street at this time.
He prefers to wait until his land sells to give the owner
the option of retaining this right-of-way. For this reason,
the applicant would like to provide one-half street
improvements on this street.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
1. Right-of-way and boundary street improvements required
on Fair Park Boulevard, Lucie and Mary Streets.
Discuss status of Anna Street south of the development
to Asher Avenue.

Item No. 6 - Continued
2. Fair Park Boulevard is to be widened from existing
curb/gutter on the west side of Fair Park; therefore,
the City will contribute to funds for an additional 8'
of roadway widening above the developer's normal
requirement.
3. City Engineering supports and suggests a variance of
the building setback along Fair Park to receive needed
street improvements.
