On March 20, 2003, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a request to allow
the placement of a second building on this site. The site contained a warehouse
structure with a parking lot and paved surface area which provided vehicular truck
movements associated with the warehouse operation.
On April 14, 2014, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a site plan for
multiple buildings located on the property. The approval allowed a new addition
containing 118,000 square feet of gross floor area to the western most building.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (May 13, 2015)
Mr. Thomas Pownell was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the development stating there were few outstanding technical issues
associated with the request. Staff requested Mr. Pownell label the drives as
access and utility easements.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated dedication of right of way
to 45-feet from centerline was required along Roosevelt Road. Staff also stated
the City's stormwater detention ordinance would apply to the future development
of the lots. Staff requested Mr. Pownell provide the finished floor elevation of at
least one (1) foot above the base flood elevation on the plat for each lot and on
the grading plans. Staff stated streetlights were required to be installed prior to
the issuance of a final plat.
Staff noted the comments from the various other agencies. There were no more
issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full
Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing most of
staff's concerns raised at the May 13, 2015, Subdivision Committee meeting.
The drives have been labeled with a cross access and utility easement. The plat
indicates the finished floor elevation for the future development of the lots.
The request is for preliminary plat approval of a 71.58 acre parcel into ten (10)
industrially zoned lots. The lots range in size from 2.194 acre to 23.795 acres.
The applicant is seeking to final plat the lots in order to market the lots for future
development.

The lots will be served by a series of private streets labeled as private access
easements. The Subdivision Ordinance states private street systems for
non-residential use shall be discouraged. However, the Planning Commission
may approve limited use when the design standards of the subdivision ordinance
are used for basic review. Private streets are to be limited to short loop or cul de
sac alignments. The developer shall demonstrate that the street system
proposed can adequately serve the needs of public service vehicles for access,
turning radius, and clearance of other improvements within the right of way. The
design of private streets are to provide for access into a public right of way. The
developer must provide for permanent maintenance of private streets within the
bill of assurance. The maintenance is to include water lines, fire hydrants or
other utility facilities.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. Staff feels the developer has
adequately addressed all any concerns and has fully complied with the minimum
development standards of the Subdivision Ordinance. To staff's knowledge there
are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda
staff report.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JUNE 4, 2015)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item
