Waiver of boundary street improvements. D. Engineering Comments: Comments reserved until meeting. E. Staff Recommendation: Reserved until meeting. The applicant is being forced to move from his present location due to the expansion of the Little Rock Airport, he also asked that the Commission consider that he is not a developer by choice, but out of necessity; and he is being pressed to vacate the premises by the Airport Commission. Also, he has recently been in the hospital for the amputation of one of his feet. He was unaware that replatting was required until he purchased the property. The Pulaski County Health Unit has stated that they will approve septic tanks if percolation tests and lot sizes are sufficient. The applicant doesn't feel that granting the requested waiver constitutes favortism, but rather the City helping one of its citizens solve what is for him a very serious problem. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The Committee felt that more facts were needed to make an adequate decision on whether or not to apply the City's policy of a 15 percent contribution from the applicant for the cost of the improvements. Staff was asked to contact the Airport Commission on their procedure for moving persons and the amount of federal money paid to this owner. Since this is a new subdivision, one Committee member felt that it differed from the usual application of the 15 percent policy. December 16, 1986 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Bob Lowe represented the developer. Staff recommended approval, subject to: (1) street improvements on Fourche Dam Pike as specified by City engineers, (2) drainage improvements be paved over with no curb and gutter, and (3) a waiver of street improvements on Cooper Road. Staff talked with the Airport Commission and felt that there would be adequate relocation expenses to pay for some improvements. A motion for approval was made and passed by a vote of: 8 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent, and 1 abstention (Massie).
