Company Finley Williams 8023 Chicot Road 210 Victory Street Little Rock, AR Little Rock, AR Phone No.: 376-3505 AREA: 19.91 acres NO. OF LOTS: 82 FT. OF NEW ST.: 2,600 ZONING: "R-2" Single Family PROPOSED USES: Single Family VARIANCES REQUESTED: 1. Boundary street improvements on the north and east. 2. Double front lots on Numbers 70 through 80 with no access allowable to Crystal Valley Road. A. Existing Conditions The tract involved has no grade problems. The land is covered by natural growth of mixed type timber. Master Street Plan elements abut the subdivision with a requirement for collector street standards on the north and arterial street standards on the east. The street of this site involves a four month period earlier this year when the purchaser of the land proposed the Mooney Mobile Home Subdivision. That plat and zoning effort were rejected by the Planning Commission. Circumstances with respect to notice requirements changed with the filing of this plat. Previous involvement with a mobile home subdivision required substantial notice of abutting property owners. This plat requires only the notice of the abutting acreage owner to the south. January 10, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 - Continued B. Development Proposal To develop this 19.9 acres as a conventional subdivision meeting all design criteria for 82 new single family lots. C. Leqal Considerations None evidenced at this writing. D, Engineerinq Considerations 1. Dedicate right-of-way on Crystal Valley Road, the north leg, for a minor arterial street. Dedicate right-of-way on Crystal Valley Road, the east/west leg, for a collector standard. 2. Improve Crystal Valley Road, the north leg, to arterial standards. Improve Crystal Valley Road, the east/west leg, to collector standards. Confer with City Engineer concerning the intersection of Crystal Valley Road. 3. Request clarification of silver and gold leaf drives. Are they public or private streets? If public, what information is available relative to curb data? 4. Request drainage plan to include how flows from the north of Crystal Valley Road will be handled on this site. E. Analysis The Planning staff views this proposal as being appropriate for single family development. It appeared during the course of the proceedings on Mooney Subdivision that the neighborhood and all other opposition desired maintenance of single family use on this property. The only points we would make concerning the design of this project would be that the access to all boundary streets be controlled by a vehicle access prohibition easement along the boundary streets and that all boundary street improvements be required. F. Staff Recommendation Approval conditioned on comments in analysis. January 10, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 - Continued SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The Committee reviewed the application.
