Staff introduced the item to the Commission stating a preliminary plat had previously been filed for the area but was never final platted. Staff stated the time for final platting had expired and the applicant was now requesting a similar preliminary plat. Staff stated the previously approved preliminary plat contained four (4) lots and a single access easement from Colonel Glenn Road where the current proposal included only three (3) lots. Staff stated there were items, which needed to be shown on the proposed preliminary plat (building setback lines, water and wastewater supply and disposal, zoning of abutting properties).

FILE NO.: S-943-A Public Works comments were addressed in detail noting the road widening of Colonel Glenn Road adjacent to the applicant's property. There being no additional issues to discuss, the Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat addressing most of the issues raised by Staff and the Subdivision Committee. The proposal includes the proposed source of water (Central Arkansas Water), the means of wastewater disposal (Little Rock Wastewater Utility), the minimum lot size and the average lot size and the front yard building setback shown on the plat. The proposal includes three lots with an average size of 1.40 acres. The lots are currently zoned C-3, General Commercial and the applicant has indicated a 35-foot platted building line adjacent to Colonel Glenn Road. The lots will be accessed by a private 60-foot right-of-way and 36-foot of pavement private roadway. Lots 1 and 3 are adjacent to Colonel Glenn and will have no access to Colonel Glenn Road. The proposed plat should show a 10- foot platted no access easement along Colonel Glenn for these two lots. Lot 2 is located at the rear of the site and has some terrain problems on the north and west sides of the lot. Central Arkansas Water also owns property located to the north of the site where a water tower is located. It is important the applicant note the comment from Central Arkansas Water with regard to blocking of the natural drainage way across the site. Otherwise, to Staff's knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed preliminary plat. The proposed preliminary plat complies with the minimum requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance and Staff is supportive of the proposed request.
