If developer concurs with this proposal, then we would take responsibility for maintenance of trail and land as part of parks system under PR zoning. Parks and Recreation would also appreciate participating in locating the trail in Tract -A in order to enhance its function and enjoyment as well as coordinating it with future extension towards Arkansas River Trail.

Box 17043 Little Rock AR 72222 REQUEST: Heights Addition Preliminary Plat S-1636 a request to subdivide 16.4 acres into 33 single-family residential lots and one tract to be held as a conservation easement. A new street will be extended from South Ridge Drive to the new subdivision. There are variances associated with the plat request a variance to allow an increased length for a cul-de-sac street a variance to allow the cul-de-sac street to end within 50 feet of the property line and a variance from the Land Alteration Ordinance to allow grading of the site Ln r to the issuance of a buil permit for the individual lots. GENERAL LOCATION OR ADDRESS: located east of South Ridge Drive just south of Walton Hei hts Subdivision and North of the City of Little Rock Fire Station. OWNED BY/APPLICANT: Kenneth Shollmier Develo er— the Holloway Firm A: ent NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT an application for a Subdivision of the above property has been filed with the Department of Planning and Development. A public hearing will be held by the L.R. Planning Commission in the Little Rock Board of Directors Chambers, second floor, City Hall, 500 West Markham Street, on September 33 2009 at 4:00 P.M. This notice is provided in order to assure that neighborhood associations are aware of issues that may affect their neighborhood. Information requests should be directed to the Planning staff at 371-4790. Tony Bozynski Director of Planning and Development City of Little Rock Planning Commission Meeting September 3, 2009 During the last month, the WHCHA Board received many (almost 100) a -mails and phone calls from residents who weren't specifically opposed to this development, but were adamantly opposed to his proposed access onto Southridge. Therefore, I will attend the meeting this afternoon and Stephen Giles and I will speak in opposition to not the neighborhood, but to its access to Southridge for the following reasons: 1- The city code restricts the number of residences on a cul-de-sac to 30, and Mr. Shollmier had to reduce his desired number of proposed residences from 33 to 30 to be in compliance with that code. The Walton Heights Candlewood neighborhood is probably the largest cul-de-sac in the state with 465 residences with one access point. I understand that several years ago the neighborhood requested that a second access not be developed and the city complied. The fact remains that Walton Heights Candlewood is a huge cul-de-sac, already 15.5 times the maximum allowed by code. As such, the city's own code would prohibit any additional residences to be added to worsen this condition. If the city were to permit Mr. Shollmier to add 30 additional residences, beyond the 465 presently in the cul-de-sac, the precedent set would preclude the city from ever again enforcing this code and may expose the city to challenges from those who were earlier victims of this code. 2- The dramatic sloping sharp curve in Southridge Drive where Mr. Shollmier wants to have access is the most dangerous traffic area in the entire neighborhood and historically experiences the highest number of accidents, in good conditions and especially in dark, wet and iced conditions. Numerous times throughout the year the city has to replace its signs on the outside of the curve that are eliminated by vehicles missing the sharp turn. There are an estimated 3,720 resident vehicles passing this location each day. 3- Knowledgeable residents have expressed skepticism regarding this location for access and it's compliance with established guidelines detailed in AASHTO, (The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials'): Our concerns are: a- The decreasing radius circle of the curve b- The degree of grade c- Measurements regarding "Roadside Slopes and Clear Zones" d- Recommend (yellow signs) speed limits versus actual speed limits (white signs) e- AASHTO "Minimum Turning Path" considerations, especially for buses, RVs, trailers f- Pedestrian and cycle traffic g- "Line of Sight" issues 4-It is no secret that the intersection of Southridge and Cantrell is one of the most traveled and congested in the city. Because of the four traffic lights on Cantrell within such a short distance, it is not uncommon for morning traffic to be stopped and the intersection is full of eastbound traffic when Southridge finally gets it's very brief green light and it's impossible to enter the intersection. It becomes even more serious. We have numerous physicians in the neighborhood that wanted to speak on this situation but were unable to be here. One of them, Dr. John Eigh is Chairman of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at UAMS. He called me at 9:30 last night explaining how frustrating it is for him at that light when he has a seriously ill patient waiting for him. We believe that any one of these four concerns is adequate to deny Mr. Shollmier access to Southridge Drive for his development. We understand that this development is purely a financial issue for him, but to the 465 families with almost 1,000 vehicles, 1,000 voters and almost 2,000 residents, this is a matter of grave safety considerations for these people as well as the numerous visitors, schools buses and delivery vehicles in our great neighborhood every day. We strongly encourage the Commission to enforce the city's existing codes and require that the developer access Cantrell Road at a different location. We understand that this is the cheapest solution for the developer, but we believe that the safety of all of these thousands of residents and visitors is immeasurably more important.
