ZONING: "R-2"
PROPOSED USES: Single Family
VARIANCES REQUESTED:
Request private street system.
A. Site History
None.
B. Existing Conditions
The land involved is located in what can generally be
described as a rural area of mixed uses, the
predominant of which is single family residential. The
land is flat and consists of grass, underbrush and
scattered trees. Improvements are needed on
Highway 10. Floodplain elevation on the property is
266.0.
C. Development Proposal
This is a proposal by the applicant to plat
approximately 18.6 acres into 18 estate -size lots for
single family use to be developed in two phases. Water
will be supplied by the Little Rock Water Works. Sewer
will be temporarily supplied by septic tanks. The
sewer main will be constructed which will later be
connected to District 222. A 27' private street is
proposed. It is also requested that in -lieu
contributions for improvements to Highway 10 be made,
since the applicant feels that improvements at this
particular time will be fragmented and not in the
public interest. A request for a cul-de-sac waiver has
been made.

D. Engineering Comments
(1) Dedicate right-of-way and improve Highway 10 to
arterial standards.
(2) Request that detail plan of entrance be submitted
to Traffic Engineers.
E. Analysis
No major problems have been found. The applicant
should clarify width of Heritage Trail. Letter of
submission indicates it will be 24' and plat says 271.
Staff is not opposed to a private street system if it
meets requirements for public streets. The cul-de-sac
waiver is acceptable; however, in -lieu contributions to
the improvement of Highway 10 are not.
F. Staff Regommendation
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMiMITTEE�REVIEW:
The applicant reported that Heritage Trail would be
developed as a 27' street. The main issue discussed was
whether or not in -lieu contributions should be submitted.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Mr. Bob Richardson represented the applicant. No one
objected. There was discussion on the provision of in -lieu
contributions by the developer versus the building of the
required improvements. Engineering stated their usual
policy as requiring a developer to build improvements if
there are no technical problems. A motion was made and
passed for approval, subject to in -lieu contributions. The
vote: 9 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent.
