EXISTING CONDITIONS: The existing site is heavily wooded and overgrown with a 46 foot elevation change (6.5% grade) across the site (474 foot elevation at the northeast corner of the property versus 428 feet at the southwest corner). The "C-3" zoned site is surrounded on the north and west with an 0-3 zone. Across Shackleford to the east is the 110-3" zoned Farm Bureau property. To the southeast at the corner of Shackleford and Kanis is an 0-2 zone surrounded by 0-3 property. Immediately to the south across Kanis is a PCD and C-2 property. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: The Engineering Division reports that right-of-way and Master Street Plan improvements will be required on Kanis Road, and that a right turn lane will be required on Shackleford Road. Further, Engineering Division reports that a sidewalk will be required on Shackleford. They suggest that the access easement from the drive approach on Shackleford Road north to Lot 1 also needs to be extended south to Lot 3. Engineering cautions that the Excavation and Detention Ordinances are applicable. Water Works reports that an additional public fire hydrant may be needed; that this would be installed by Water Works, but coordination would need to be done with this development. Wastewater Utility says that a sewer main extension will be required with easements. Wastewater Utility should be contacted for information concerning payment of the required reimbursement fee for connection to the Farm Bureau Outfall. Southwestern Bell Telephone Company reports that easements will be required. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company has approved the plat as submitted. The Fire Department has approved the plat without comment. D.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (MAY 13, 1993) Mr. Joe white of white-Daters and Associates was present to represent the applicant. Mr. white presented the item. The Engineering staff reiterated their comment that a right turn lane off Shackleford Road would be required, as indicated in the Master Street Plan; that improvements to Ranis Road would be required; that a sidewalk along Shackleford is required; and that the access easement from the central drive on Shackleford into Lot 2 and extending north for access to Lot 1 should also be extended to Lot 3 on the south. Mr. white quizzed the Engineering staff about their restricting access to Lot 3 (the south corner lot), but made no challenge to it. There were no other observations by the Committee or Staff; so, the item was referred to the Commission for final resolution. 3 June 1, 1993 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 (Continued) FILE NO.: S-97 STAFF UPDATE: The engineering staff relented on the requirement to restrict access to the corner lot, Lot 3, and requiring access to this lot be gained by way of the access easement located on Lot 2 which extends north to Lot 1.
