D. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
1. Dedicate right-of-way along Alexander Road for a
minor arterial street.
2. Concur with request for rule of standards on
internal street.
E. STAFF ANALYSIS
This proposal is unique in that the majority of it lies
within another municipality's boundaries. Staff's
review of this will be tailored toward the lots in
Little Rock. Review under the "R-7-A" subdivision
district requires: (1) one mobile home dwelling
converted to a permanent structure, (2) height
limitation of 35 feet, (3) minimum site area of five
acres, and (4) minimum density of 12 units per acre of
saleable land area. At the time of rezoning, the
developer will be required to submit a site plan
review. The Planning Commission shall determine the
reasonable setbacks and perimeter treatment of the
property.
Staff does not feel that adequate justification has
been received for the granting of waivers. The
applicant must give substantial reasons for such a
request.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff reserves comments until further information is
received.
