HomeMy WebLinkAboutS-0530 Staff AnalysisMay 15, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 NAME: Pinedale Cove Addition LOCATION: SW Intersection of Sibley Hole Rd. and Mabelvale Pike DEVELOPER: ENGINEER/APPLICANT: Mr. Robert Morse Forrest C. Marlar #4 Riverview Point Marlar Engineering Co., Inc. Little Rock, AR 5318 JFK Boulevard North Little Rock, AR 72116 Phone: 753-1987 AREA: 28.47 acres NO. OF LOTS: 93 FT. OF NEW ST.: ZONING: "R-2" PROPOSED USES: Single Family A. Site Histor None. B. Existing Conditions The area can generally be described as rural in character and consisting mostly of single family dwellings. The land involved is flat and mostly covered with mature vegetation. The property is bordered by Sibley Hole Road on the west and Mabelvale Pike on the northwest. Both of these streets do not have curb/gutter and sidewalks. A portion of the property lies within the 100-Year Floodplain. C Development Proposal This is a plan to develop 28.47 acres into 93 lots for single family use, one of which is a tract in the floodplain that will be used as a park for the residents. 3400' of new street will be built. Two phases are planned. Phase 1 will consist of Lots 1-90 (single family) and Lot 91 (park). Phase II will consist of Lot 92 to be developed at a later date. The typical lot size is 65" x 1101. The applicant is requesting waivers to permit a 75' centerline radius for four curbs on the street. Justification is based on a proposal of Pinedale Circle as a closed street, which more than likely will be subjected to reduced speeds. May 15, 1954 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued D. Engineering Comments (1) Dedicate right-of-way and improve Mabelvale Pike to minor arterial standards. (2) Dedicate right-of-way and improve Sibley Hole Road to residential street standards. (3) Street radii only meets minor residential street standards. (4) Some lots subject to Floodplain Ordinance. Place floor elevation requirements on final plat. E. Analysis Staff is favorable to this type of development in the area. The applicant, however, is cautioned that staff will not support anything other than single family development on the future tract, especially since the plan for that area has recently been amended to omit commercial development. This plat commits only single family. Some specifications relative to whether or not the park will be held in common by all of the property owners should be made. We do not feel that the waivers present a problem, except as indicated by the City Engineers in one instance. They are requesting that one radius be improved. Pipe stem lots are noted in two instances; however, they meet the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. F. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant was present. He reported that the park, which is currently identified as a lot, would be taken care of by the Property Owners' Association. The Committee decided to pass this to the Commission, subject to: (1) Dedication of right-of-way and improvements of Mabelvale Pike to minor arterial standards. (2) Amendment of Master Street Plan so that Sibley Hole - Road could be built as a collector. (3) A meeting with Engineering to work out improvement of the first radius on Pinedale Circle. May 15, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued (4) Removal of building on future tract and understanding that this plat commits a future tract only to single family development. (5) Indication of floor elevations on final plat. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant and his engineer were present. There were no objectors. A revised plan was submitted, which improved the curb nearest to the entrance as agreed by the City Engineers, and showed additional dedication for development of Sibley Hole as a collector street. There was some discussion on the appropriateness of approving Phase 2 as proposed. Staff requested that the building line on Lot 92 be removed, and that it be dealt with when the use is determined; also, that a note be placed on the plat stating that the City recognizes no commitment to any use other than Single Family. A motion was made for approval, subject to understanding that there is a commitment to none other than Single Family use. The motion passed by a vote of: 10 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent.
