A final plat was submitted for approval on July 19, 1985, and was subsequently approved. The preliminary and final plats included the dedication of the right- of-way and acceptance of the street improvements for W. 81st. Street. The final plat, however, was never filed for record at the Circuit Clerk's office, and, consequently, the approval was void, and W. 81st. Street has remained a private street. The owner now wishes to finalize the action which was interrupted in 1985, and has submitted the identical plat of the subject lot and the W. 81st. Street right-of-way. Approval of the preliminary plat is again sought. A. PROPOSALIREOUEST: Approval by the Planning Commission is requested for a revived preliminary plat for Lot 3 and the W. 81st. Street right-of-way for Scott Hamilton Addition No. 2.

Street is a private street connecting Scott Hamilton Dr. on the east and the Arkansas Electric Co -Op Corporation site on the west, and runs along the south boundary of the Motel 6 and Red Roof Inn lots. In 1985, W. 81st. Street was built to City standards and was accepted by the City for maintenance. Due to the failure of the developer to file the final plat with the Circuit Clerk, the approval of the final plat and of the City for maintenance of the street was voided. The site is zoned C-3. The tract to the east is zoned C-3. Immediately to the west, and across W. 81st. Street to the south is I-2 zoned land. To the north is I-30, with I-2 zoned land beyond. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: Engineering reports no comments. The developer has been in contact with engineering to determine the work which will be recuired to be completed and maintenance bond required to be submitted for acceptance of the street. - Water Works reports that several years ago they had been told that W. 81st. Street was a public right-of-way, and Water Works has an 8 inch water main in the assumed right- of-way. Wastewater reports that there is existing sewer service in to the site. Arkansas Power and Light Co. will require an easement along the north right-of-way line. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal, and comments that they have a 2 inch plastic line that extends 633 feet west of Scott Hamilton to serve the Red Roof Inn and Arkansas Electric Co -Op Corporation.

Street is being dedicated. E. ANALYSIS• The deficiencies in the plan which have been noted are minimal and can be easily corrected. The proposed plat is submitted to correct an omission from 1984-85 in not filing for record the final plat at that time, and is to initiate the steps necessary to place into the record what has already taken place in "real life". The Motel 6 tract exists and the motel sits on the tract. The street exists, and the City is willing to accept the dedication and the street for maintenance. There are no issues, other than the applicant meeting the engineering requirements to make certain repairs to the street and the furnishing of the maintenance bond. F.
