classification within the proposed plat boundary and of abutting properties.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated a 40-foot minimum cul-de-
sac radius was required measured from the center of the cul-de-sac. Staff also
stated street improvements would be required to Kerry Drive per the Master

improvements. Staff stated generally improvements were constructed at the time
of subdivision development.
Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and
agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional information
and clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee
then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.

Donna,
As I explained on the phone, a group of neighbors from the Kerry Drive area are purchasing the 5.0
acres currently proposed for the Tedder Subdivision. Therefore, Edwards Engineering P.A., as agent
for Renaissance Homes, LLC, is requesting that our subdivision application be withdrawn without
prejudice. Neither Edwards nor Renaissance Homes will have a representative at the June 22, 2006
Little Rock Planning Commission public hearing.
I want to thank you for the time that you and Vince spent assisting us on this application. We do look
forward to working with your office on future projects.
Thanks,
Dave
