SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(November 1, 2017)
Mr. Frank Riggins of Crafton Tull and Associates was present representing the
request. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were additional
technical issues in need of addressing prior to the Commission hearing the
request. Staff questioned if both Lots 1 and 5 were proposed as pipe stem lots.
Mr. Riggins stated the desire was to allow both to be created as pipe stem lots.
He stated the development would be served by cross access and cross parking.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the access drive on Lot 4
should align with the apartment drive to the east. Staff stated the cross access
and cross parking should be noted on the plat and also addressed in the Bill of
Assurance. Staff stated the stormwater detention ordinance would apply to the
future development of the site. Staff stated a minimum finished floor elevation of
one (1) foot above the base flood elevation was required to be shown on the plat
and on the grading plans.
Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies.
Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with
any questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion. The
Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.

ANALYSIS:
FILE NO.: S-9
The applicant submitted a revised plat to staff addressing most of the technical
issues associated with the request. The applicant has also indicated a note on
the plat stating the finished floor elevation will be placed at one (1) foot above the
base flood elevation.
The request is to amend the previously approved preliminary plat to allow the
creation of five (5) lots. The lots range in size from 0.92-acres to 2.20-acres.
Three (3) of the lots have direct street frontage along Chenal Parkway. Two (2) of
the lots are indicated as pipe stem lots, Lots 1 and 5.
The request includes a variance from Section 36-300(e) to allow a reduced side
yard setback for Lots 2, 4 and 5 of 15-feet. The reduced setbacks for Lots 2 and
4 are located adjacent to the access drives. The setback on Lot 5 is internal and
adjacent to the common lot line of Lots 1 and 2. Staff does not feel the setbacks
as proposed will significantly impact the site.
Two (2) drives are indicated from Chenal Parkway to serve the subdivision.
A drive located along the eastern boundary which is a shared driveway with the
apartment complex located to the east, the pipe stem for Lot 5. The second drive
is located on the common lot line of Lots 2 and 3, the pipe stem for Lot 1.
Lots 1 and 5 are proposed as pipe stem lots with drives on Chenal Parkway
servicing the lots as well as providing access to the remaining lots. To allow the
lots as pipe stem lots requires a variance from Section 31-284. The ordinance
defines a pipe stem lot as a tract of land which is served for access, legally and
physically by a narrow strip of land less than the ordinance required minimum
lot width. The body of a pipe stem lot is typically an elongated figure or a
polygon capturing a difficult building site behind another lot. For purposes of a
variance of subdivision design for a pipe stem lot the following minimum
dimensions will control:
(1) The minimum width of the stem at the street right-of-way shall be thirty
(30) feet.
(2) The maximum depth of a pipe stem lot, including the stem shall be
limited to three hundred (300) feet.
(3) The minimum width of the lot body shall be sixty (60) feet.
(4) The minimum lot area shall be ten thousand (10,000) square feet.
The eastern drive is indicated at 50-feet and the western drive is indicated at
45-feet. The depth of the pipe stems do not exceed 300-feet and the width of the
n.

body of the pipe stem lots far exceeds the minimum 60-foot width. The lot area of
Lot 1 is 2.20-acres and the lot area for Lot 5 is 1.16-acres.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request to allow the revision to the previously
approved preliminary plat. Although the plat includes variances to allow the
creation of pipe stems lots and lot sizes less than typically required per the C-2,
Shopping Center Zoning District staff does not feel the variances as proposed will
have a significant impact on the development or abutting properties in the area.
J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the comments
and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff report.
Staff recommends approval of the following variance requests:
1. A variance from Section 36-300 to allow lot sizes less than the ordinance
typically allows.
2. A variance from Section 31-284 to allow the creation of pipe stem lots, Lots 1 and
5.
3. A variance from Section 36-300(e) to allow a reduced side yard set for Lots 2, 4
and 5 of 15-feet.
4. A variance from the City's Land Alteration Ordinance to allow grading of all five
(5) lots with the request for a grading permit and construction not imminent on all
the lots.
