NEW STREET: 0 ZONING: R-2 PROPOSED USES: Single -Family Residential PLANNING DISTRICT: 19 CENSUS TRACT: 42.06 VARIANCES RE iZ TES: Waiver of the requirement to provide boundary street improvements on Carter Ln. and on the unnamed future arterial street along the west property line. TATEMENT OF PA P AL: Proposed is the. division of a 4.81 acre lot into two home sites. Lot 1 is proposed to have 115 feet of frontage on -the east boundary street, Carter Ln., and to have the full width of the tract frontage at the west property line along the future,. - unnamed arterial street. Lot 2, which includes the home -site already existing on the tract, is proposed to have 215 feet of frontage on Carter Ln.,-and is 295 feet deep.- There is proposed to be a "no access" easement along the west property line of Lot 1 to restrict -vehicle --access to --the west Land to the future arterial street. Dedication of the required right -of --way for the future arterial street which will lie along the west property line of the subdivision is proposed. The applicant proposes, however, a waiver from the Subdivision Regulations which would require: Master Street Plan improvements for this future arterial street, and seeks a waiver from the Master Street Plan required improvements to Carter Ln. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: The applicant seeks Planning Commission approval of a preliminary plat to divide a 4.81 acre tract into two home sites. Both lots are proposed to have frontage on Carter Ln., and both of the lots have in excess of the minimum frontage on Carter Ln. which is required. Along the west October 18, 1994 SUBDIVISION IT 4 n in d FiLE N _1 boundary of the tract, dedication of the right-of-way for a future arterial street, in conformance with the Master Street Plan requirements, is proposed. A "no access" easement is to be provided along this right-of-way to restrict vehicle. access_ when. the street -is developed. Approval from the Board of Directors will be sought for a waiver from the requirement to construct the Master Street plan improvements in the right-of-way to be dedicated for the future arterial, and approval from the Board of Directors will, be sought for a waiver from the requirement to make one-half street improvements on Carter Ln. B. EXISTING CONDITION: The tract is presently a rural single-family home site, with a pond and woods. It is nearly at the end of Carter Ln., being approximately one block from the south end of Carter Ln. in a sparsely developed area. Carter Ln. is a "chip - seal" paved, open --ditch street section roadway. The existing zoning of the site is R-2, with all surrounding areas being zoned R-2, as well. C. EN I ERr TTLTTY OMMENT : Public works cOmments"that the Subdivision Regulations and Master Street Plan will require one-half street improvements on Carter Ln. and dedication of one-half of the required right-of-way and construction of one-half of an arterial street section along the west boundary of the plat. Little Rock Water Works reports that there are no objections to the proposed subdivision. Little Rock Wastewater Utility reports that a sewer main extension, with an easement, will be required. Arkansas Power and Light Co. will require a 15 foot wide easement along the north, east, and south boundary of the subdivision. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal without comment.

LUgEE$ /LEGAL /TECHNICALLIDESION : The Subdivision Regulations require the following information, --omitted from -the- submi-scion, to -be -furnished with a preliminary plat application: 1) the type of subdivision which is being proposed; 2) the name and address of the owner of record, and the source of title of the ownership; 3) the source of the contours shown, along with the source from which all elevations were derived; 4) information on any existing and proposed covenants and restrictions; 5) the source of water supply and the means of wastewater disposal; 6) natural and cultural features pursuant to Sections 31-89.4 and 31-89.8 of the Subdivision Regulations; 7) a preliminary storm drainage plan; 8) the names of recorded subdivisions abutting the proposed subdivision, with plat book and page number or instrument number, or the names of owners of unplatted tracts abutting the proposed subdivision, or the names of all owners of platted land in excess of 2 1/2 acres; 8) the physical description of all monuments; 9) the zoning of the land within the proposed subdivision and of abutting areas; and, 10) the location of proposed PAGIS monuments. The vicinity map mush be corrected to show that the property is not at the end of Carter Ln., but is approximately 330 feet north of its termination. The Certificate of Preliminary Engineering accuracy is to be executed. A preliminary Bill of Assurance is to be submitted. Section 31-201(h) states that: "New boundary streets shall be avoided, except where a requirement of the Master Street Plan provides a defined alignment. In that event, the... plat... shall provide one-half of the Master Street Plan's specified improvements and right-of-way." It continues: -"Whenever a proposed subdivision abuts a partially dedicated or constructed public street, the developer shall provide the minimum of one-half of the required improvements and right-of-way." The regulations, then, provide for the improvements to the two rights -of -way. The applicant is seeking a waiver from this requirement. Section 31-232(d) states: "Double frontage lots are prohibited: However; where ­a subdivision abuts...(a) proposed arterial street..., reverse frontage lots are permitted." Although the proposed subdivision provides for a double -frontage lot, the regulations permit this design when one of the frontages is bounded by a future arterial street, as is the situation in this development. 3 October 18, 1994 SUBDIVISION - ITEM N 4 (CInntimipr3i F1LF -IO E. ANALYSIS: The Master Street Plan has defined the alignment of a future arterial street along the west boundary of the tract. The developer proposes to dedicate the required right-of-way, but seeks approval of a waiver of having to construct the street. When the 5-acre tract to the south of the proposed subdivision was subdivided a couple of years ago, the right- of-way for the future arterial was dedicated. These two dedications are the only portions of the right--of--way which have been dedicated or exist in the vicinity. The area along Carter Ln. is a rural residential area which is slowly developing. To require construction of Master Street Plan improvements for the one section of the street which fronts on the proposed subdivision would be out of character at this time for the area and for the remainder of the street; however, within a few years, there will probably be a need to make the improvements and extend Carter Ln. The deficiencies noted can be easily corrected by the project engineer. They are not decisive in determining whether the plat can be approved. F. STAFF RFC hIMENI}ATTON Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat, subject to the required information being supplied and the drawing being completed. Staff recommends approval of the waiver of Master Street Plan improvements in the right--of--way for the future arterial along the west boundary of the subdivision, but recommends a deferral for 5 years of the improvements for Carter Ln. BDIVT I MMTTTFF rntMM T: (SEPTEMBER 29, 1994) Mr. Joe White, with White-Daters & Associates, Inc., -the engineering firm on the project, was present. Staff outlined the request, and the Subdivision Committee members reviewed with Mr. White the comments contained in the discussion outline. Mr. White said that he would make the needed corrections and provided the information needed. The Committee forwarded the item to the full. Commission for the public hearing.

ANALYSIS• The Master Street Plan has defined the alignment of a future arterial street along the west boundary of the tract.

When the 5-acre tract to the south of the proposed subdivision was subdivided a couple of years ago, the right- of-way for the future arterial was dedicated. These two dedications are the only portions of the right-of-way which have been -dedicated or exist in the vicinity. The area along Carter Ln. is a rural residential area which is slowly developing. To require construction of Master Street Plan improvements for the one section of the street which fronts on the proposed subdivision would be out of character at this time for the area and for the remainder of the street; however, within a few years, there will probably be a need to make the improvements and extend Carter Ln.

STATEMENT OF PROP4�2XL: y Proposed is the division of a 4.81 acre lot into two home sites. Lot 1 is proposed to have 115 feet of frontage on the east boundary street, Carter Ln., and to have the full width of the tract frontage at the west property line along the future, unnamed arterial street. Lot 2, which includes the home site already existing on the tract, is proposed to have 215 feet of frontage on Carter Ln., and is 295 feet deep. There is proposed to be a "no access" easement along the west property line of Lot 1 to restrict vehicle access to the west and to the future arterial street. Dedication of the required right-of-way for the future arterial street which will lie along the west property line of the subdivision is proposed. The applicant proposes, however, a waiver from the Subdivision Regulations which would require Master Street Plan improvements for this future arterial street, and seeks a waiver from the Master Street Plan required improvements to Carter Ln. The applicant seeks Planning Commission approval of a preliminary plat to divide a 4.81 acre tract into two home sites. Both lots are proposed to have frontage on Carter Ln., and both of the lots have in excess of the minimum frontage on Carter Ln. which is required. Along the west boundary of the tract, dedication of the right-of-way for a future arterial street, in conformance with the Master FILE NO,; 5-1039 (Cont n11pd) _ Street Plan requirements, is proposed. A "no access" easement is to be provided along this right-of-way to restrict vehicle access when the street is developed. Approval from the Board of Directors will be sought for a waiver from the requirement to construct the Master Street plan improvements in the right-of-way to be dedicated for the future arterial, and approval from the Board of Directors will be sought for a waiver from the requirement to make one-half street improvements on Carter Ln. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The tract is presently a rural single-family home site, with a pond and woods. It is nearly at the end of Carter Ln., being approximately one block from the south end of Carter Ln. in a sparsely developed area. Carter Ln. is a "chip - seal" paved, open -ditch street section roadway. The existing zoning of the site is R-2, with all surrounding areas being zoned R-2, as well. C. ENQINEERINGNTILITY COMMENTS: Public Works comments that the Subdivision Regulations and Master Street Plan will require one-half street improvements on Carter Ln. and dedication of one-half of the required right-of-way and construction of one-half of an arterial street section along the west boundary of the plat. Little Rock Water Works reports that there are no objections to the proposed subdivision. Little Rock Wastewater Utility reports that a sewer main extension, with an easement, will be required. Arkansas.Power and Light Co. will require a 15,foot-wide easement along the north,. east, and south boundary of the subdivision. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal without comment. Southwestern Bell -Telephone Co. approved the submittal without comment. The Little Rock Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. D. I E LE AL TE H I AL DE I The Subdivision Regulations require the following information, omitted from the submission, to be furnished with a preliminary plat application: 1) the type of 2 FILE -1 (Continued) subdivision which is being proposed; 2) the name and address of the owner of record, and the source of title of the ownership; 3) the source of the contours shown, along with the source from which all elevations were derived; 4) information on any existing and proposed covenants and restrictions; 5) the source of water supply and the means of wastewater disposal; 6) natural and cultural features pursuant to Sections 31-89.4 and 31-89.8 of the Subdivision Regulations; 7) a preliminary storm drainage plan; 8) the names of recorded subdivisions abutting the proposed subdivision, with plat book and page number or instrument number, or the names of owners of unplatted tracts abutting the proposed subdivision, or the names of all owners of platted land in excess of 2 1/2 acres; 8) the physical description of all monuments; 9) the zoning of the land within the proposed subdivision and of abutting areas; and, 10) the location of proposed PAGIS monuments. The vicinity map must be corrected to show that the property is not at the end of Carter Ln., but is approximately 330 feet north of its termination. The Certificate of Preliminary Engineering accuracy is to be executed. A preliminary Bill of Assurance is to be submitted. Section 31-201(h) states that:Y "New boundary streets shall be avoided, except where a requirement of the Master Street Plan provides a defined alignment. In that event, the... plat... shall provide one-half of the Master Street Plan's specified improvements and right-of-way." It continues: "Whenever a proposed subdivision abuts a partially dedicated or constructed public street, the developer shall provide the minimum of one-half of the required improvements and right-of-way." The -regulations, then, provide for the improvements to the two rights -of -way. The applicant is seeking a waiver from this requirement. Section 31-232(d) states: "Double frontage lots are prohibited. However, where a subdivision abuts.. -.(a) proposed arterial street..., reverse frontage lots are permitted." Although the proposed subdivision provides for a double -frontage lot, the regulations permit this design when one of the frontages is bounded by a future arterial street, as is the situation in this development. E. ANALYSIS: The Master Street Plan has defined the alignment of a future arterial street along the west boundary of the tract. The developer proposes to dedicate the required right-of-way, but seeks approval of a waiver of having to construct the 3 FILE NQI: S-1Q32 (Continued) street. when the 5-acre tract to the south of the proposed subdivision was subdivided a couple of years ago, the right- of-way for the future arterial was dedicated. These two dedications are the only portions of the right-of-way which have been .dedicated or exist in the vicinity. The area along Carter Ln. is a rural residential area which is slowly developing. To require construction of Master Street Plan improvements for the one section of the street which fronts on the proposed subdivision would be out of character at this time for the area and for the remainder of the street; however, within a few years, there will probably be a need to make the improvements and extend Carter Ln. The deficiencies noted can be easily corrected by the project engineer. They are not decisive in determining whether the plat can be approved. F.
