SUBDIVISIONS
Item No. B
NAME:
Plumlee - Request for Waiver of
Subdivision Regulations
LOCATION: North Side of Beck Road off
Pinnacle Valley Road
APPLICANT: J.A. Carl and Mattie R. Plumlee
c/o Cary Basham
211 Spring Street
Little Rock, AR 72201
STAFF REPORT:
The applicant is requesting a total waiver of the
subdivision requirements regarding a 2.0 acre tract.
The current owners purchased the property from Donald P. and
Mary A. Haney on September 13, 1977, and have only recently
been advised that it was one-half of a lot. Thus, this was
illegal and water services have been denied.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Denied.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The applicant explained his proposal. Due to a mistake on
the survey, which seemed to show the lots as two instead of
one, staff requested more time to reconsider the request and
form a position. The applicant was asked to provide a
subdivision plat, dedicate right-of-way, and provide a
building setback.

Item No. 12 - Continued
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The application was repreented by Mr. Carey Basham. Staff
recommended approval of the plat, subject to confirming with
Engineering that 30" on plat was adequate right-of-way
dedication, FW dedication on northern portion of property,
utility review and easements and the owners' signatures.
Mr. Troy Laha, surveyor, was present.
There was discussion as to the proper procedure of handling
requests such as this. Staff explained that there were
numerous such illegally platted parcels in the area that
would be requesting water service. There were applicants
with similar requests in the audience at this meeting. One
Commissioner felt that the practical situation was whether
or not the Commission should prevent the owner from using
2.0 acres of land, even though it is not a legal lot of
record as identified by the ordinance.
It was decided that some policy needed to be established
regarding this type of problem. Staff was asked to gather
facts about what was going on in the area, find out the
ownership pattern in the area, and meet with the City
Attorney about establishing a strategy for dealing with this
problem. 1
A motion for deferral until November 3 and was made and
passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, and 2 absent.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
Staff explained the results of a study on the ownership
pattern at the retreat. The staff's recommendation is
approval, subject to resolution of the street improvement
issues and a policy on requiring an in -lieu contribution.
