Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of the Department of Neighborhoods and Planning, made a staff presentation, stating the Capitol Avenue /Stifft Station Plan will be coming before the Planning Commission this week. That plan indicates this property should be for multifamily. The property has never been developed, probably because it is very steep, noise from the railroad, and access to the property. He asked for a delay until the Capitol View /Stiff Station Plan had been reviewed by the Planning Commission. Mr. Roger Mears, applicant, gave a brief history of the property, stating the only thing he could do with the property now is to put a junk yard on it. Mr. Mears did not object to leaving the Ordinance on the calendar for second reading on June 18, 1996. Mr. Charles Ray, Chairman of the Capitol Zoning Commission of the State of Arkansas, also spoke on the issue, stating the land is not in the jurisdiction of the Capitol Zoning Commission but is separated by the railroad track. He stated the Capitol Zoning Commission voted unanimously to oppose the use as outlined. He asked the Board to defer the Ordinance until others making plans have the opportunity to share them with the Board. Mr. Ron Newman, Director of State Capitol Grounds, and representing the Secretary of State's Office, stated their main concern is that development will be of a quality that will be fitting for the Capitol area, and asked the Board of Directors to defer the matter. Mr. Robert Hamilton, Vice President of the Capitol View/ Stifft Station Neighborhood Association and Woodruff School Area, stated they had all wondered what could be done with that area. He supported the deferral to give the Board opportunity to look at the Capitol View /Stifft Station Plan. There was no motion to suspend the rules for the second reading, therefore, the Ordinance was left on the calendar for second reading on June 18, 1996. Introduced next was a proposed Ordinance, described as: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 31 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, PROVIDING FOR A WAIVER OF THE BOUNDARY STREET IMPROVEMENTS FOR MEARS MINI - WAREHOUSE LOCATED EAST OF THE END OF WEST 2ND STREET AND WEST OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD TRACKS, LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS; and the Ordinance was read the first time. (See discussion related to Z- 4732 -A - Mears Mini - Warehouse Long Form PD -C above.) There was no motion to suspend the rules for the second reading, therefore, the Ordinance was left on the calendar for second reading on June 18, 1996. The next presentation was Ordinance No. 17,209, entitled: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 31 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, PROVIDING FOR A DEFERRAL OF THE BOUNDARY STREET IMPROVEMENTS FOR HARCROS CHEMICAL GROUP PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3100 W. 65TH STREET, LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS. (Note: The request was for a waiver of boundary street improvements, but the Ordinance was amended to provide for a deferral.) Mr. Clark McGlothin, contractor for Harcros Thompson Hayward Chemical Company, stated the company decided to improve the property, but was unaware at that time that boundary street improvements would be 11 Minutes June 4, 1996 453 required for Murray Street, and asked the Board to waive the requirement since the improvements would be to such a short section of street and no one would really gain anything. Director Adcock asked about the possibility of granting a three to five year deferral. Public Works Director Chandra Russell said staff did not consider the deferral appropriate. After further discussion, Director Wyrick moved to approve a five year deferral or until such time as other development occurs. The motion was seconded by Director Adcock and unanimously adopted. Therefore, the Ordinance was read the first time, as providing for a deferral. There was a motion by Director Adcock, seconded by Director Mason, to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on second reading. The motion was unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being ten in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors, and the second reading of the Ordinance ensued. There was a subsequent motion and second by Directors Mason and Adcock, respectively, to again suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on second reading. The motion was unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being ten in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors, and the Ordinance was read the third and last time. A roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, with the vote recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Kumpuris, Adcock, Wilson, Hinton, Keck, Joyce, Wyrick, Sharp, Mason, and Mayor Dailey - total 10; Absent - Director Hodges - total 1. Whereupon, the Ordinance was declared PASSED. Consideration was then given to a proposed Ordinance, entitled: AN ORDINANCE REPEALING CHAPTER 28 OF THE LITTLE ROCK, ARK., REVISED CODE OF ORDINANCES AND ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 28 RELATING TO CONTROLLING THE STORAGE, COLLECTION, TRANSPORTATION, TREATMENT, PROCESSING, AND DISPOSAL OF ALL RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE GENERATED WITHIN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. The proposed Ordinance was read the first time and left on the calendar for second reading on June 18,1996. Introduced next was Resolution No. 9,723, with the title being: A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE DECISION OF THE PULASKI COUNTY MULTI- PURPOSE CIVIC CENTER FACILITIES BOARD SELECTION OF THE EAST SITE AS THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED ARENA SITE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. (Roughly bordered by Broadway on the North, Riverfront Drive on the South, Cypress on the East, and the Union Pacific Railway line on the west - in the City of North Little Rock, Arkansas.) Following the reading of the Resolution, Director Kumpuris stated that two sites are being considered and he hoped the City Board would support the eastern site because of the commitments made. There was a motion by Director Mason to adopt the Resolution. The motion was seconded by Director Keck and the Resolution was unanimously adopted. The last matter to be considered was Resolution No. 9,724, described as: A RESOLUTION MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL. (Private Sector - Richard Bell, Kathleen Wilson, and Elizabeth Smith - Small; Community Based Organizations - Henry McHenry.) Following the reading of the Resolution, Director Adcock moved for its adoption. The motion was seconded by Director Keck, and the Resolution was unanimously adopted. 12 454 Minutes June 4, 1996 There being no further business to be presented, the Board of Directors recessed at 10:20 o'clock P.M. to reconvene on Tuesday, June 11, 1996, to consider authorizing a contract to reconstruct streets and drainage in a section of Cloverdale (Phase I) and a Resolution of support for the Central Arkansas Transit Authority downtown transfer station.

Upon a motion by Director Adcock, which was seconded by Director Joyce, and unanimously adopted, the Consent Agenda was dispensed with as follows: (1, 2, and 3) the Comparative Statement of Income Account of the Little Rock Municipal Water Works, the Non - uniformed Employees Defined Benefit Plan and Contribution Plan Financial Statements were received and filed; and (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13) Resolutions No. 9,714, 9,715, 9,716, 9,717, 9,718, 9,719, 9,720, 9,721, and 9,722 were read in full and unanimously adopted, except Director Keck voted "Present" on Resolution No. 9,722 (Item 13). (Note: Item 9 was deferred until June 11, 1996.) At the time allotted for Citizen Communications, the first speaker was Mr. Stewart Yancey, who had a problem with the Little Rock Housing Authority over some property he was redeveloping at 12th and Monroe Streets. He said Mr. Lee Jones, Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the City of Little Rock, has been non- responsive to the Forest Hills Neighborhood Association and the community. The Housing Authority has offered a ridiculously low sum to purchase the property ($13,000 for all three properties), even though Mr. Yancey does not wish to sell the property. Mr. Yancey requested that the Board support the community in what it is trying to do. Mayor Dailey asked that the City Manager investigate and report to the Board, and that the issue be on the next Agenda for discussion. The next speaker under Citizen Communications was Mr. Bennie Johnson, Executive Director of Stop the Violence, who thanked the 981 voters who tried to get him elected to the House of Representatives. He also encouraged citizens to listen to the Saturday morning talk show - Straight Talk - about topics in the black community. He then introduced Mr. Robert "Say" McIntosh, who was dressed as a fighter. Mr. McIntosh expressed concern about the condition of the Ish House, which is almost falling down. He said the Ish House was to be preserved as a historic structure, and urged the 100 black doctors in the state to fix up the house. He commended the white citizens that are raising $500,000 to save the downtown YMCA building. The last speaker to address the Board of Directors during Citizen Communications was Mr. Robert E. Phillips, who said Board Members had been very insensitive to the problems he had with his business two months ago, because none of them ever contacted him. (He was referring to the incident with the Police at his business at 1516 South University. See Minutes of Apri12, 1996.) Mayor Dailey said he did meet with Mr. Phillips, got a copy of the Police report, and that he agreed with the Police action. A public hearing had been scheduled for this time and place upon a motion adopted May 21, 1996, on the appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of the application to rezone 1818 and 1824 Georgia Avenue from "R -2" Single - family District to "R -5" Urban Residence District. The appeal was filed by Mr. Jim Harney. Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing open at 6:55 o'clock P.M. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, made the staff presentation. The applicant proposes to remove the two residential structures on the two lots and to build two 4 -unit apartment buildings. The land use plan shows this as a multi - family area. The neighborhood is opposed to rental units. He responded to questions by the Board. The applicant, Jim Harney, made a slide presentation. In response to the concern of the residents regarding the tenants of the rental units, Mr. Harney said the units will be very up -scale and will rent for $600 plus. He also said the townhomes will not adversely affect the property values of the single family homes. Speaking in opposition was Mr. John Carson, 1808 Georgia, representing Forest Park Highland Neighborhood, who presented 60 signed letters in opposition. He asked the Board of Directors to deny the rezoning, stating that the neighborhood is stabilizing with many first time homeowners and families with 3 Minutes June 4, 1996 445 children. He said there are too many apartments in the neighborhood and they don't need any more apartments. (Director Kumpuris was excused at 7:50 o'clock P.M. due to a conflict of interest in that he has a business relationship with one of the owners.) After a discussion between the Board and Staff, Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing closed at 8:05 o'clock P.M. Director Keck moved to send the matter back to the Planning Commission for review of the rezoning issue and the Land Use Plan for multi - family zoning as it relates to this specific location - if this is not appropriate, why? and that it come back to the Board of Directors in thirty (30) days. The motion was seconded by Director Mason and adopted by the following voice vote: Ayes - Directors Mason, Adcock, Wilson, Hinton, Keck, Wyrick and Mayor Dailey - total 7; Noes - Directors Sharp and Joyce - total 2; Absent- Directors Kumpuris and Hodges - total 2. Therefore, the matter was sent back to the Planning Commission and the Ordinance to rezone property at 1818 and 1824 Georgia Avenue (Z -6112) was not presented. At 8:08 Mayor Dailey declared a ten minute recess. When the Board of Directors reconvened at 8:25 o'clock P.M. Mayor Dailey presided with nine Directors present and Director Hodges absent. There was a moment of silent prayer in memory of Mr. Charles Bussey, former Mayor of the City of Little Rock, who is gravely ill, and Mr. Reed Thompson, former Mayor of the City of North Little Rock, who died June 3, 1996. Consideration was then given to a proposed Ordinance, entitled: AN ORDINANCE RECLASSIFYING PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AMENDING SECTION 36 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES; (Z -6109 - To rezone 2616 South Commerce Street from "R -3" Single- family District to "O -1" Quiet Office District.) (See Minutes of May 21, 1996 for discussion and first reading.) Speaking in support of Mrs. Deborah Millsap and the Golden Angels Club were Mrs. Haley Maning, young Chris King and Danuell Johnson, Angenette King, Elonda King, John Miller and Jon Miller. Mrs. Millsap also spoke about how she is trying to help young people by providing a place for them to meet. Director Wilson made a statement in opposition to the proposal. She said her church was across the street from the proposed location, and has a daycare facility which would be available. The church would be willing to open its doors. She didn't feel the need to break up the neighborhood. She passed out petitions of people in the neighborhood that were opposed to the daycare and asked the Board to consider the request of the neighborhood not to rezone. Also speaking in opposition were Mrs. Margie M. Jones and Fannie 101patrick. Mrs. Jones was not opposed to Mrs. Millsap, but felt she should try to work with the neighborhood. There are three churches in the neighborhood; all have daycare facilities and youth departments and have reached out into the neighborhood. Mrs. Jones said the house is too small and there is no parking. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, reminded the Board that the Land Use Plan was changed May 21, 1997. This is a neighborhood that is in transition and staff felt like "O -1" was a reasonable request. Since this is a youth club, the only parking requirement would be in terms of employees working there, because the kids would be dropped off. He then responded to questions by the Board of Directors. If the zoning is approved, then she would have to apply for a building permit. At that time, staff would look at parking, landscaping requirements, code requirements, and other issues. In response to questions, Mrs. Millsap stated that she needs a place for her office, and she plans to provide Bible study and tutoring for 10 -15 youth eight hours or less per day and they will not be staying overnight. Mayor Dailey and Director Kumpuris both suggested other locations and offered staff assistance. The Ordinance was then read the second time, having been read the first time on May 21, 1996. There was a motion by Director Keck, seconded by Director Adcock, to suspend the rules and place the 4 t t o Minutes June 4, 1996 Ordinance on third and final reading. The motion was unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being ten in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors, and the Ordinance was read the third and last time. A roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, and the vote is recorded as follows: Ayes - None; Noes - Directors Kumpuris, Adcock, Wilson, Hinton, Keck, Joyce, Wyrick, Sharp, Mason and Mayor Dailey - total 10; Absent - Director Hodges - total 1. Whereupon, Mayor Dailey announced that the Ordinance had FAILED. Item 38 was the next presentation, being a proposed Resolution described as: A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE CENTRAL ARKANSAS TRANSIT AUTHORITY (CATA) DOWNTOWN TRANSFER STATION. (To be located between 4th & 5th and Rock & Cumberland Streets) Mayor Dailey announced that the Resolution would be deferred until Tuesday, June 11, 1996. Mrs. Nancy Lowe spoke in opposition to the proposed location of the CATA transfer station, stating that the public input process has been faulty. Also, the proposed location does not conform with the goals for Little Rock established in the FUTURE - Little Rock process, which includes strategies for housing, neighborhood revitalization, and transportation. She said the Board needs to revisit the issue. She felt a transfer station at this location would destabilize the Historic District, that it should be located between the major employment centers around the Capitol/Broadway area between the financial district and the state government. The proposed Resolution will be considered at the reconvened meeting on June 11, 1996. Introduced next was Item 16 on the Agenda, being a proposed Ordinance, entitled: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY LAND USE PLAN (16,222) IN THE ELLIS MOUNTAIN DISTRICT, WEST OF BOWMAN ROAD, NORTH OF CHERRY LAUREL FROM MULTIFAMILY TO TRANSITION ZONE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. (Re: Z- 4653 -D) Director Keck had questions about the definition of transition zone and stated he could support Item 16 on the Agenda, but not the related Item 17 (Z- 4653 -D - United Properties Subdivision Lot 1 Short Form PD -C). Director Keck felt that Item 17, which is a planned commercial development, was in direct conflict with Item 16. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of the Department of Neighborhoods and Planning, responded to Director Keck's questions, stating that transition zone can be used for multifamily, office, warehouse, or residential, and staff considered Item 17 as an office warehouse type development. Mr. Pat McGetrick, Engineer for the project, said the applicant was willing to restrict the commercial uses. They are not looking at restaurant or drive -in uses or convenience store, but possibly a medical supply house with storage or warehouse use, but would like some flexibility. The Ordinance was then read the second time, having been read the first time on May 21, 1996. The Ordinance was left on the calendar for third and final reading on June 18, 1996. Consideration was then given to a companion proposed Ordinance, with the title being: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND ESTABLISHING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TITLED UNITED PROPERTIES SUBDIVISION LOT 2 SHORT -FORM (Z-4653- D) IN THE 1300 BLOCK OF BOWMAN ROAD IN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 36 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. (See discussion related to the foregoing proposed ordinance to amend the City Land Use Plan in the Ellis Mountain District) The Ordinance was read the second time, having been read the first time on May 21, 1996. There was no motion to suspend the rules to 5 Minutes June 4, 1996 447 provide for the third and final reading; therefore, the Ordinance was left on the calendar for third and final reading on June 18,1996. Mayor Dailey announced that Items 18 and 19 were deferred until June 18, 1996. Therefore, no action was taken on the following Ordinances: (18) AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY LAND USE PLAN (16,222) IN THE RIVER MOUNTAIN DISTRICT, NORTH OF CANTRELL AND EAST OF PINNACLE VALLEY ROAD REARRANGING THE SINGLE FAMILY AND LOW DENSITY MULTIFAMILY AREAS, AND FOR OTHER MATTERS.

The next presentation was Zoning Application Z- 3592 -J, filed by Mr. James Hathaway agent for the West Little Rock Partnership, to rezone 5.57 acres at the southeast corner of Shackleford West Blvd. and Centerview Drive from "C -2" Shopping Center District to "0-3" General Office District. The reclassification was approved by the Planning Commission on May 9, 1996.
