The three,access points provided the Waffle House at the referenced location are fixed by action of the Little Rock Planning Commission. -These points are: 1. A common access with the Gulf Station onto Shackleford Road, Seethe attached plat. 2. An`ace" s easement parallel to Shackleford Road 70 feet .in width to be allowed one additional point of access to Shackleford at the northernmost point. See attached plat. 3. An access drive off West Markham Street on the west side of and adjacent to the liquor store. This easement extends from West Markham Street to a point adjacent to the northeast corner of the restaurant site. See the attached plat. These access points are permanently fixed except for the ooint on West Markham Street. The Planninq Commission permitted this access tie to the Waffle House for circulation until such time as a suitable internal circulation plan could be devised. That plan has been approved by the Planning Commission involving all of the properties lying east and north of ter. Mays' property. This plan provides for a properly designed intersection at West Markham Street on the east side of the liquor store. the primary access drive provided by this plan provides for two access points to the plat on the west occupied by the Waffle House. Mr. Mueller and Mr. May, the present owners, have agreed to these points of access. They have also agreed to design further building construction sites and parking so as to provide your site and the new building with a proper traffic flow. Once these access points are provided, these owners will provide a replat of their Lot 2, Phase 2, which will eliminate the present West Markham Street access point thereby shifting your circulation pattern approximately one lot width to the east. (See the note on the attached plat.) This office has discussed with Mr. May a general layout for several new buildings which will require a Planning Commission review. It would be in your interest to observe these proceedings and perhaps become involved to assure proper attention to your concerns. If you have questions which this letter and the attachments fail to deal with, please feel free to call my office.

En ineerin Considerations (1) Request roadway between this development and the Kroger Store be modified to preclude a direct route from the Kroger site to West Markham Street. July 12, 1983 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 12 - Continued (2) Recommend the north -south street section be offset to the east as it approaches the main east -west street of this development. (3) Request that the engineer discuss this matter with City Engineers. E. Analysis Staff's major concern with this project was the assurance of adequate internal access design to incorporate both this project, previous developments on abutting properties, and a future parcel outside of this ownership. This site represents the balance of property at this northeast corner, and it is imperative that a cohesive circulation system be developed. Specifically, staff is concerned with traffic generation on the north -south street to West Markham. We would not like to see this site as a short means by which motorists can get to Markham, nor as a speedway. To alleviate such problems, we concur with the modifications to the site plan as proposed by the City Engineers. F. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: Mr. Joe White and Ron Tabor were present representing the application. A lengthy discussion was held, the result being that. Mr. Tabor and Mr. White will hold discussions with the developer of the property to the north and other involved parties with a view toward developing a north/south street to accommodate the concerns of the traffic engineer. Mr. Tabor also submitted a revised plan of this project incorporating in the southernmost building in a drive-in branch financial institution. It was noted that this does not significantly impact the design of the plan. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors. A revised plan was submitted. Engineering reported that they had met with the developers and most of their concerns had been addressed. Their only comment was that enough stacking space be left behind the bank building. After listening to the developers' concerns, they had also decided to withdraw their comment about offsettin4 the north/south street. ,July 12, 1983 SUBDIVISIONS Item No, 12 - Continued Mr. Ron Tabor, the applicant, reported that he had been unsuccessful in gaining the adjacent owner's cooperation regarding access. He requested that the Commission not delay his proposal because of this. The Commission agreed that it would be unfair to penalize this developer because of this. Staff reported that the Fire Department had requested all drives to be a minimum of 20 feet. )Two motions were made and passed. Motion 1: Approval, as revised or if arrangement can be worked out with adjacent property owner prior to submission of_.fina�_p1at, limitation of curb cuts be to two and street be moved 15 feet on to adjoining property. The vote - 8 ayes, 0 noes, 3 absent. Motion 2: That a letter be sent by staff to adjacent property owners strongly urging him to cooperate in this development and re-emphasizing the Commission's intent to grant him only one more curb cut to Shackleford and no access to Markham, except to the Waffle House. The vote was 8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent. FLAKE & COMPANY Ms. B.
