Submitted by: Department of Planning and Development SYNOPSIS FISCAL IMPACT RECOMMENDATION CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Action Required Ordinance Resolution Approval Information Report Submitted By Bruce Moore The applicant is appealing the Planning Commission's recommendation of denial for a revision to a previously approved preliminary plat to allow the placement of sidewalks at the back of curb for the Royal Oaks Subdivision. I None. Staff recommends denial of the requested revision to the preliminary plat. The Planning Commission voted to recommend denial of the requested revision by a vote of 2 ayes, 9 noes and 0 absent. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed preliminary plat revision request at its November 8, 2007, meeting. There were no registered objectors present. The abutting property owners along with the Deer Meadow Neighborhood Association, the Legion Hut Neighborhood Association, the Yorkwood Neighborhood Association and Southwest Little Rock United for Progress were notified of the public hearing. BACKGROUND On May 11, 2006, the Commission approved a preliminary plat which included the subdivision of 9.985 acres into thirty-six (36) single-family residential lots and two tracts designated as open space and detention. Access to the new lots was proposed by an extension of a new residential public street from Chicot Road to the east 1,194 feet connecting with Shady Grove Lane. The applicant also proposed the removal of two residential lots from Perry Place Phase III to allow access to Ponderosa Drive. A total of 1,832 linear feet of new street was proposed, constructed to Master Street Plan standard. The proposal included an average lot size of 65-feet by 140-feet or 0.21 acres and a minimum lot size of 60-feet by 130-feet or 0.18 acres. There were no waivers or variances requested. The applicant is now proposing a revision to the previously approved preliminary plat to relocate the placement of the sidewalks. The approved preliminary plat showed the sidewalks along Royal Oaks Drive to be located at the right of way line. The transformer pads and telephone pedestals were installed just inside the right of way line in the intended path of the sidewalk. The developer is requesting to place the sidewalk at the back of curb or just off the back of curb within 1 foot of the curb. The developers has removed the request for a waiver of the required sidewalk placement along Ponderosa Drive. Staff is not supportive of placing the entire length of the sidewalk at the back of curb and feels from a safety standpoint the sidewalks should be located as far away as possible from the driving lanes. Since the utility boxes were located within the right of way and not within an easement located on the front of the lots, staff can support the majority of the sidewalk being located at the back of the right of way but other sections of sidewalk located at the utility boxes can meander closer to the street. The closest utility box to the back of curb is 4.5 feet and the furthest is 8 feet. At the narrowest locations where the utility boxes are located to the street, per ADA guidelines only 3 feet of clearance space must be maintained for the proposed 5 foot sidewalk. This would leave about 1.5 feet of clearance between the closest utility box and the back of curb. 2 BACKGROUND CONTINUED Staff feels the placement of sidewalks or alternative pedestrian paths to allow connectivity through neighborhoods is an important aspect of subdivision development. Staff feels it is important to develop the newly developing areas per the current ordinance standards. Please see the attached Planning record and site plan for the development proposal and the recommendation. Commission minute applicant's specific staff analysis and 3 I RESOLUTION NO.
