OF LOTS: 13 FT. OF NEW STREET: 850 ZONING: "A" Single Family PROPOSED USES: "A" Single Family December 18, 1979 Item No. 14 - Continued This matter has not been submitted as a preliminary plat. It is a sketch plan of a proposed means of access from St. Charles Addition to ten (10) acres of adjacent property which would otherwise be landlocked. In the approval of St. Charles, no access was required. The configuration of the surrounding ownerships was not available. The property is platted as Lot 1, Hillvale Addition and the Ordinance at that time did not require notification of adjacent property owners. As a result, the issue of access is the subject of a lawsuit. The Court has referred two questions to the Commissin. First, should access be required? Second, if so, where? Prior to submittal of' an actual plat, two main issues must be resolved. A trade is currently being negotiated in which the City will gain about six (6) acres of parkland in return for about one (1) acre of adjacent land which it already controls. Also, the Hillside Regulations may apply in this area, and the engineer must assure compliance prior to that time. In answer to the questions referred by the Court, the staff recommends that if the Commission feels that access should be required, the location shown should be the optimum one. Subdivision Committee Recommendation: (10-11-79) The Subdivision Committee by a vote of 3 ayes to 1 no (Terry Mathews) advises that access be required in the location shown on the sketch plan. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (10-23-79) Upon agreement of both parties, the Commission voted unanimously to refer the matter back to the Subdivision Committee. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: (11-15-79) Both parties to the lawsuit were present. Following presentation of both sides of the question, the Subdivision Committee voted unanimously to recommend that access be provided by means of a 24 foot pavement and a 45 foot right-of-way in the location shown on the sketch plan (this leaves open the option of a 27 foot pavement and a 50 foot right-of-way). December 18, 1979 Item No. 14 - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (11-27-79) Both parties were present. The Commission voted unanimously to defer action to the December 18, 1979 meeting in order to provide time for further negotiations between parties. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (12-18-79) Following discussion of the issue by both sides during which an alternate alignment was presented, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the Court that access be provided and that, while the first proposed alignment would be preferable, the second proposal would be acceptable. �e_ U Lin December 18, 1979 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 14 - DEFERRED OF /o/ A replat of Lot 1, Hillvale Addition ENGINEER: Waymond Teaque Mehlburger Engineers, Inc. 1800 Atlanta 2nd and Izard Streets Russellville, AR 72801 Little Rock, AR 72201 Phone: 968-7279 Phone: 375-5331 AREA: 9.2 Acres NO.
