FILE NO.: S-980-C on West Markham Street. Staff also noted a revision to the Conditional Use Permit would be required for the Home Depot store. Staff noted the comment from Central Arkansas Water. Staff stated any construction within the easement shown would require approval by Central Arkansas Water. Staff stated this included driveways or parking, signs and light post. Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised plat to staff addressing the issues raised at the July 22, 2010, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised plat includes a cross access easement to allow access to the proposed lots. The applicant has also noted prior to final platting of the lot a revised Conditional Use Permit for the Home Depot store will be sought. The request is a replat of approximately 14 acres into two (2) lots. Both lots are zoned C-3, General Commercial District. Lot 1 RR is to contain the existing Home Depot containing 12.86 acres and Lot 3 is proposed containing 1.182 acres. Lot 3 is planned for development with a single building restaurant user. Lot 3 abuts West Markham Street but no new curb cuts are proposed. All existing driveway accesses will be located on Lot 1 RR and a cross access easement will be created to allow access to proposed Lot 3 via the existing drives. Staff is supportive of the request. The lots are proposed with adequate square footage to comply with the C-3, General Commercial Zoning District. Staff does not feel the replat to allow the creation of the second lot will significantly impact the existing development or the area.
