There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
K 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
1.89-acre lot to be subdivided out of approximately 22 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
3.6 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 staff's
knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with
the request.
I. 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.
Staff recommends approval of the variance request from Section 31-232(b) to
allow an increased depth to width ratio for the proposed lot.
