AREA: 5 ACRES NUMBER OF LOTS: 16 FT. NEW STREET: 540
tiONING: R-2 PROPOSED USE: Single-family residential
PLANNING DISTRICT: 3
CENSUS TRACT: 22.03
VARIANCES REQUESTED: None
STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL:
The applicant proposes the development of a 16 lot residential
subdivision on 5 acres involving the construction of 540 feet of
new street. Since Reservoir Road is scheduled for reconstruction
in the immediate future, no improvements to Reservoir Road are
proposed.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
Approval by the Planning Commission of a preliminary plat
for the White Rock Addition is requested. The subdivision
entails the development of 16 residential lots on five acres
and the construction of 540 feet of street. The developer
proposes no improvements to Reservoir Road since the City is
planning the total reconstruction of Reservoir Road.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site is presently undeveloped, with natural vegetation
and trees covering the property. The site is currently
zoned R-2, with R-2 being the zoning of land to the north
and east. To the south is an MF-24 area; to the west,
across Reservoir, is an R-5 district.

C. ENGINEERIKG/ TILYTY COMMENTS:
The Engineering Division reports that right-of-way
dedication will be required for Reservoir Road, and that an
"in -lieu -of" contribution for construction of Reservoir Road
will be required. Engineering indicates that the design for
the intersection of the street with Reservoir Road is to be
coordinated with Garver + Garver Engineering, but that
Reservoir Road will remain at substantially the same grade
as it now exists. (The temporary access to the subdivision
shown through Lot 10, then, may not be necessary.)
Engineering indicated that, if the temporary access through
Lot 10 is to remain, it should be shown as a temporary
access easement. PAGIS monuments are to be located on the
plat.
Water Works indicates that a water main extension will be
required.
Wastewater Utility reports that a sewer main, with easement,
will be required.
Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. and Arkansas Power and Light
Co. will require additional easements.
ARKLA and the Fire Department have approved the submittal
without comment.
D. ISSUES/ LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN,:
The application is incomplete: the preliminary Bill of
Assurance has not been submitted.
The plat, as submitted, is incomplete: the names of all
adjacent subdivisions, showing the book and page number of
their recording, or the names of property owners of
unsubdivided land are to be shown on the plat; the existing
zoning is to be shown on the plat; and all monuments are to
be located and described.
E. ANALYSIS:
The deficiencies cited are minimal and can be easily
corrected by the engineer. The rear temporary access to the
subdivision was proposed in order to gain access to the
subdivision until the Reservoir Road reconstruction is
complete. It was anticipated that Reservoir Road would be
substantially lowered where it would intersect the new
street into the subdivision. This does not appear to be the
case, though, and the proposed temporary easement may not be
needed.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (June 24, 1993)
Mr. Joe white was present. Staff presented the item and
Mr. white outlined the developer's proposal. He indicated that
the access to the subdivision would be coordinated with the
Reservoir Road design by Garver + Garver Engineering, and that
possibly the location of the intersection of the new road with
Reservoir Road would be moved further south. Mr. white presented
plan and profile drawings of Reservoir Road which indicated the
proposed vertical curvature of the road, and showed how the new
subdivision street would be affected. The Committee reviewed
with Mr. white the comments in the discussion outline, and
Mr. white indicated that he would make the corrections noted.
The Committee forwarded the item to the Commission for
consideration.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JOLY 13, 1993)
This item was included on the Consent Agenda for approval, and
the preliminary plat was approved without discussion by the
