STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL:
Nursing Home and Office Building
The applicant proposes a preliminary plat for the development of
a 4.29 acre tract to contain two 110-2" lots. One of the lots is
proposed to front on Hinson Road; the other (rear) lot is
proposed to have its access from the adjoining lot in the
Pleasant Valley Living Center property to the east. Lot 3 of the
subdivision is proposed to be sold to and joined to the Pleasant
Valley Living Center property once the subdivision is approved.
Lot 2 is proposed to be developed as church offices and church
classrooms for Fellowship Bible Church. No variances from
applicable ordinances are requested.

vegetation. To the west is the new Public Library and
professional offices. To the south is a residential area.
To the east are professional offices and the existing
nursing home facility to which Lot 3 is planned to be
joined. Across Hinson Road to the north is the golf course
and residential areas.
C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS:
Public Works Engineering Division observed that Lot 3, the
rear lot, is land -locked, with no public access provided.
The Stormwater Detention and the Excavation Ordinance are
applicable, as is the requirement to show PAGIS monuments.
The Fire Department approved the plat as submitted.
Little Rock Water Works Utility comments that there is a
water main in place to the east and that on -site fire
protection will be required.
Little Rock Wastewater Utility reports that a sewer main
extension, with easements, will be required.
Arkansas Power and Light Co. and Southwestern Bell Telephone
Co. will require additional easements, and returned a copy
of the plat with their requirements noted.
D ISSUES LEGAL TECHNICALLY DESIGN:
The matter of creating a land -locked lot must be addressed.
Creating this condition is prohibited. Public right-of-way
must be provided to each lot in a subdivision.
Ee ANALYSIS:
To address the issue of the creation of a land -locked lot,
one of three options is possible: provide a right-of-way to
this rear lot; alternatively, the subdivision might be
platted as one lot at the outset, then, in a subsequent
action, the rear portion could be separated and platted as
part of the nursing home property when there is a
contractual basis for joining the two parcels; or, third,
plat the Pleasant Valley Living Center property as a part of
this subdivision.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends denial of the request until the matter of
the land -locked lot is addressed satisfactorily.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
Staff presented the item. Mr. Steve Bonds, the developer, and
Mr. Joe White, project engineer, were present to respond to the
comments presented. There was discussion as to whether Lot 1, on
which the Public Library now sits, need be shown on this current
plat. Mr. White indicated that he could remove Lot 1 and show
the Pleasant Valley Living Center property on the Hinson Manor
Office Park plat. He reported that the option of platting the
nursing home with this current plat, thus providing the access to
the rear of the property by way of the right of way to the
nursing home, was the way he planned to pursue the objections to
the plat as submitted. He indicated that he would present an
amended plat to staff within the following week. The Committee
agreed with the solution proposed, and agreed to forward the plat
to the Commission for approval if the objections were
appropriately dealt with.
STAFF UPDATE•
In response to the objections cited above, the developer
presented a revised plat showing a one -lot "Hinson Manor Office
Park" subdivision of the front two -acres of the tract, and a
revised "Pleasant Valley Living Center Addition" to include the
rear tract of the former plat of Hinson Manor Office Park plus
the adjoining existing Pleasant Valley Living Center tract.
Staff objected to this proposed plat, since it crated two
subdivisions on one plat. In response, a letter was received
from the agent for the owner of the tracts which were to have
been Hinson Manor Office Park indicating their approval of the
entire tract to be included in and known as Pleasant Valley
Living Center Addition. Staff recommends approval of this
solution.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (APRIL 20, 1993)
This item was presented by staff as included on the Consent
Agenda for approval with the condition noted above, and as such
was approved in the unanimous eleven -member approval of the
Consent Agenda.
