SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (May 12, 2011) Mr. Terry Moore was present representing the request. Staff presented an overview of the request stating there were few additional items necessary to complete the review process. Staff stated the plat included a variance to allow the creation of a lot without public street frontage. Staff stated since the property was under two ownerships the name and address of the second owner should be included on the plat. Staff stated Lawson Road was a minor arterial and a dedication of right of way 45-feet from centerline would be required. Staff stated the plat did not include the existing centerline and with the revision to the plat the centerline should be included. Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing the issues raised at the May 12, 2011, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised plat indicates the names of both owners as requested by staff. The plat also indicates right of way dedication along Lawson Road to meet the Master Street Plan requirements. 3 June 2, 2011 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 Cont. FILE NO.: S-1673 The plat is to recognize two existing properties located within the City's Extraterritorial Planning Jurisdiction. The property has previously been subdivided without first being approved by either Pulaski County or the City of Little Rock. Tract 1 is proposed containing 0.97 acres. The property is zoned R-2, Single-family. The lot has an existing residence with an approved septic system. The lot is being proposed as a lot without public street frontage. A 20-foot wide ingress and egress agreement has been included on the plat to allow access to the property. Tract 2 is proposed adjacent to Lawson Road containing 1.06 acres. The site was rezoned to PCD as a part of the City's Extraterritorial Planning for this area. The property contains a single story metal building currently being used as a commercial business. To staff's knowledge there are no outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Although there is a variance associated with the request staff is supportive of the request. Staff does not feel the subdivision as proposed will adversely impact the area.
