A lengthy discussion followed involving the adjacent street and the building layout. The street requirements on Hardin Road were discussed as to the appropriateness of widening the existing pavement from 27 feet to 36 feet. The Public Works Department felt that the additional pavement would be required to service two hotels and a large office zoned site to the north. The Staff concerns about buffering against the residential area and redesign were discussed briefly. It was pointed out by one Commissioner that it made sense to move the three story elements of the projects to the Financial Centre Parkway frontage. The Staff identified for members of the Committee the residential location adjacent to this property and the numbers of lots and the Eric Lane location which enters this project area from the west. Mr. White indicated that he would look at the possibility of redesign, taking into consideration the issues raised by Staff, and would be prepared to address those concerns at the Planning Commission meeting. As a last item, Staff pointed out that the Water Works and Fire Department would need to approve an on -site fire hydrant and water line system. There being no further discussion, the item was forwarded to the full Commission for resolution. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (August 8, 1989) The applicant, Mr. Joe White, was present and requested a deferral to the August 22, 1989 meeting.

DEVELOPER: ENGINEER: Dimension Development White-Daters & Associates, Company, Inc. Inc. 400 Preston Blvd., #116 401 Victory Street Bossier City, LA Little Rock, AR 72201 318-746-2710 374-1666 AREA: 4.75 acres NUMBER OF LOTS: 2 FT. NEW STREET: 0 ZONING: "C-3" and "0-3" PROPOSED USES: All Suites Hotel PLANNING DISTRICT: 11 CENSUS TRACT: 24.01 A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: This proposal is for a two -lot preliminary plat providing for the development of one tract as a All Suites Hotel site and the remaining parcel to be retained as a "C-3" Commercial site. The All Suites Hotel element is a part of this same agenda and will be Item No. 9. There is no proposal at this time for a "C-3" lot. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: This tract of land is generally in an undisturbed state with large mature timber. The principal arterial lying along the south boundary is under construction at this time as the extension of Financial Centre Parkway. The street lying immediately on the east, being Hardin Road, is partially constructed at this time and dedicated as a residential standard. August 8, 1989 SUBDIVISION Item No. 5 (Continued). C. ENGINEERING COMMENTS: Sidewalks should be provided on Hardin Road and Financial Centre Parkway with handicapped ramps at the intersections. No median cut on the parkway will be allowed at the proposed driveway. Hardin Road should be a minimum 36 foot back-to-back commercial street for its entire length. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: These issues will be more fully developed in the P.U.D. element of this development proposal which is Item No. 9 on this agenda. The preliminary plat is basically in good form with resolution of the following several items required: Southwestern Bell Telephone has requested several easements. A Bill of Assurance should be submitted. The owner and source of title should be indicated on the plat. Corner radius should be indicated. Adjacent subdivision and owners names should be reflected on the plat. The existing zoning of adjacent properties should be shown. Building lines are required on all street frontages. The curb cut requirements of the Subdivison Ordinance should be identified within this preliminary plat for purposes of serving the hotel development as well as the remaining commercial lot. The ordinance standard is one curb cut within 100 feet of a corner on an arterial street, and additional curb cuts at 300 foot intervals. E. ANALYSIS: The Planning Staff finds no serious fault with this preliminary plat subject, however, to resolving the several items pointed out in Item D above and approval of the P.U.D. applications.
