Woodlands Addition Southeast Corner of Pleasant Valley Drive and Cantrell Road VA70TMVVn .. Hodges, Vines, Fox and Associates 3426 Old Cantrell Road Little Rock, AR Phone: 664-5000 NO. OF LOTS: 25 FT. OF NEW STREET: 0 PROPOSED USES: Condominiums February 12, 1980 0.- Item No. 3 - Continued A. Existinq Conditions The site slopes moderately (about 15 percent) to the south away from Cantrell Road. It is heavily covered with trees. "County Place Addition" to the south has been developed as a condominium project to the east area or single family residences. Adjacent streets and drainage have been built to current standards. All public utilities and services are available at the site. B. Development Proposal Twenty-five condominium units are proposed to take access from a series of four (4) short cul-de-sacs which branch off of the main drive through Pleasant Valley Drive to Cantrell Road. Individual lots are shown to be 100' to 115' deep and 40' wide (55' on corners). The drives are proposed to be private access easements, paved 25' wide, presumably with curbs and gutters, although these are not shown, the cul-de=sacs to be hammer -head style, 25' by,, 61' . The plat fails to reflect several ordinance requirements. First, a 40' undisturbed buffer with a 6' screen fence is required along the east boundary where a 25' setback is shown. Second, residential setbacks along major arterial streets are 40' and the Master Street Plan specifies a 100' setback from the cor*e,r line of Cantrell. Either would eliminate the unit at/the northeast corner of the plat. Third, sidewalks would be required on Pleasant Valley Drive and Cantrell Road. C. Analysis The staff feels that the proposed layout is generally appropriate to the site. The 40' buffer on the east would be provided by moving that row of units and the street 15' to the west. i k February 12, 1980 1 Item No. 3 - Continued Application of a 40' setback along Cantrell should be adequate in lieu of -the Master Street Plan requirements of 100' from the centerline. D. Staff Recommendation The staff recommends approval, subject to: 1. A 40' undisturbed buffer on the east boundary, with a 6' fence. 2. Provide a 40' setback from Cantrell Road. 3. Provide sidewalks along Pleasant Valley Drive and Cantrell Road. 4. Indicate curbs and gutters on interior drives. Planning Commission Action The engineer was present. The Subdivision Committee recommended approval as recommended by the staff, except for Item #k3. The Commission voted 8 ayes to 1 no to approve the plat as recommended by the Subdivision Committee without requirement of sidewalks. -I r
