CHAPEL, AIA Architect 8121 CHATHAM DRIVE LITTLE ROCK, AR 72207 August 14, 1987 Mr. Richard Wood Office of Comprehensive Planning City of Little Rock Little Rock City Hall Markham and Broadway Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Wood: Re: P.C.D. Application American Cancer Society/ Little Rock School District N. University at"H" Street The intent of this proposed Planned Commercial Development is to establish a sensitive plan for the utilization of the 1.73 acre site located on the Northeast quadrant of North University Avenue at "H";Street. The southernmost 1.0 acre of the P.C.D. would be owned by the American Cancer Society while the northernmost 0.73 acre would remain for future development by the Little Rock School District. This proposed P.C.D. limits the activity permitted on the site to "Professional % and General Office Use". This would prevent the large influx of automobile traffic and the peak -hour congestion associated with other uses. Ingress and egress to both sites is accomplished by only two drives intersecting public streets(one on University and one on "H" Street). The site is divided on a North/South axis by an unimproved, very unkempt drainage ditch. This ditch drains the East side of University to Evergreen Street and beyond. This necessary storm drainage area will be placed in a properly engineered, underground, storm drainpipe connecting with the existing pipe exiting the property under "H" Street. Concern for the many large trees present on the site prompted creative building siting and an irregular driveway and parking lot configuration. The success of this effort resulted in the removal of only five existing trees with a greater than 4" trunk diameter out of a total of twenty on the site. The largest of these five is but 5" in diameter at the trunk and all are located on the East property line away form the public vier. In addition, extensive new landscaping will be placed in the many, large irregular planting areas resulting between buildings, parking and drives. The buildings proposed are to be of very attractive and of the highest quality in both design and construction. They are proposed to be brick with metal(probably copper)standing seam roofs. Brick color will be warm earthtone shades. As previously stated, the American Cancer Society would occupy the southernmost building. This two story structure would house the Arkansas and Pulaski County Headquarters of this non-profit organization. The building's area would be 14,400 square feet and parking for 50 cars would be provided. CORPORATE MEMBER OF THE AMERIC:VN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS Page 2 The northernmost building discussed here is a hypothetical one. This P.C.D. defines the maximum building area(6.000 square feet)and minimum parking spaces(20 spaces) that could be placed on this site when developed in the future by the Little Rock School District or others. The specific use and site design would be subject to review and approval by the Office of Comprehensive PLanning prior to this development. This proposed Planned Commercial Development accomplishes exactly, I feel, the intent of the planned development process. This plan is the best, if not ideal, utilization of this site. Questions posed during this process by the city staff helped define this plan. The professional office use minimizes traffic volume, allows for the least destructive impact on the existing site grades and vegetation, while adapting a system of stormwater drainage and run-off control. This plan permits a top quality development to be placed on a very difficult, but very important , site in harmony with current neighborhood development. i c ly, iel D.
