The depth to width ratio for the proposed lot was 3.6 to 1. The ordinance allows a maximum depth to width ratio of 3 to 1. March 29, 2012 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1607-C A.

Staff presented an overview of the request stating the proposed plat would require a variance to allow Lot 4 to develop with an increased lot depth to width ratio. Staff stated there were no outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff stated a right of way dedication on Barrett Road would be required with the final platting of the lot. Staff also stated the property was located within the 100-year floodplain and the applicant should contact Pulaski County Planning to obtain the regulations for construction within the floodplain. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: There were no outstanding technical issues associated with the request related to the proposed preliminary plat. The request is for approval of the creation of a 2+-acre lot to be subdivided out of approximately 19+ acres located on Barrett Road. This area is not located within the City limits of the City of Little Rock but is located within the City's Extraterritorial Planning Jurisdiction in which the City exercises zoning and subdivision control. The southern lot line has been established to align with lot lines of the existing lots located to the west allowing the rear property lines to match for continuity. The proposed lot will be used as a building site for a single-family residence. The request includes a variance from the City's Subdivision Ordinance to allow an increased depth to width ratio. The depth to width ratio for the proposed lot is 4.33 to 1. The ordinance allows a maximum depth to width ratio of 3 to 1. Staff is supportive of the request as filed. There are a number of lots within the area, which have been subdivided into parcels similar in size to the applicant's request. Staff does not feel the variance as requested will impact the site due to the applicant's desire to match existing adjacent rear property lines. To staffs knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request. 4 March 29, 2012 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 Cont.
