Item No. 15
NAME:
LOCATION:
Yarberry Lane Site Plan Review
(Z-4079A) (R7-A)
North side of Yarberry Lane,
approximately 4/10 mile east of
Chicot Road
APPLICANT: Robert J. Richardson
1717 Rebsamen Park Road
Little Rock, AR 72202
Phone: 664-0003
PROPOSAL:
To construct a manufactured housing subdivision on
20.1 acres of land. The proposed subdivision contains 101
lots and approximately 1600 feet of new street.
ANALYSIS:
This proposal has a net density of 5.94 units per acre.
Staff feels that this density is reasonable and that the
design is residential in character. The staff does,
however, feel that a recreational open space would enhance
the project. The major planning issue concerning this
proposal is the location of a collector standard road
(Master Street ev_entually___connect Warren
Road to Yarberry Lance.__ The alignment would basically follow
-the-entrance street alignment to the north property line.
In addition, Yarberry Lane needs to be built to a collector
standard on the west and transitioned to a residential
standard on the east.
The applicant has proposed a 25-foot front yard setback
which staff feels is acceptable. The staff feels that a
six-foot board screening should be built to buffer the
single family uses adjacent to the southeast and southwest
property lines. In addition, the applicant needs to submit
a topographic survey. The possibility exists that the
northern part of this property lies within the floodplain.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval subject to: the applicant
agreeing to dedicate and build the Warren Road collector and
Yarberry Lane; a meeting with the City Engineers prior to
the September 13th Planning Commission meeting; the
applicant agreeing to screen the south portion of the
property; and the applicant submitting a topographical
survey to ascertain the floodplain and the submission of a
landscape plan.
