OF LOTS: 22 FT. NEW STREET: 800 ZONING: Currently "R-2" - Proposed "R-3" PROPOSED USES: Single Family PLANNING DISTRICT: 12 CENSUS TRACT: 24.02 VARIANCES REQUESTED: None A. Site History At the time of this writing, an application for the rezoning of a 30.18 acre site that includes this parcel has been filed. The request is to rezone the property from "R-2" to "R-3." B. Existing Conditions This property is located in an area that has been developed primarily as single family residential. The site is currently wooded with mature vegetation and trees. The 100-year floodplain is apparent on the northern end. -Elevations range from 270' to 3301. C. Development Proposal This is a plan by First Service Corporation to subdivide 5.54 acres into 22 lots for single family use according to the "R-3" zoning district. Access will be provided by 800' of new street. A cul-de-sac branching from a proposed extension of Tall Timber Boulevard will provide the primary access to the lot. No waivers have been requested. December 18, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. A - Continued D. Engineering Comments (1) Request that floor elevation requirements for those lots in the floodplain be placed on the final plat. (2) Construct a guardrail type barricade at the end of Tall Timber Boulevard. E. Analysis The applicant has requested to develop this lot as single family, but according to "R-3," which requires lots to be 50' x 100'. Staff questions the width of some lots. The applicant should make sure that all lots are 50' wide at the building line. It is necessary for the applicant to submit a preliminary plat on all the ownership as required by the Subdivision Ordinance. The proposed street layout of the total area must be reviewed. If the plat involved any of the floodway, then this portion must be dedicated to the City. Sidewalks should be provided on one side of the street. On Tall Timber, they should be matched with what is existing. The name of the cul-de-sac, Pin Oak Court, should be changed, since it poses a conflict with another street name elsewhere in the City. F. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. G. Subdivision Committee Review The Committee reviewed the proposal. The applicant reported that portions of the plan were in the floodplain, not the floodway. He agreed to show the extent of ownership and change conflicting street names. December 18, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. A - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (11-13-84) Planning Commission was advised by staff that it would be appropriate to defer this matter to the December 18, 1984, meeting at which time the rezoning matter on the site will be presented. The applicant indicated he accepted the deferral. The Commission voted to defer the matter to December 18, 1984. The vote: 10 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant was present. He submitted a revised plan, which was reviewed by the Committee and passed to the Commission. .PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Jack Castin represented the developer. Several persons were present in objection. Staff reported their recommendation as approval of the plan, subject to the dedication of all t-he lots north of the north property line of the lots running on Tall Timber to the City, since portions of the site are in the Master Parks Plan. The applicant disagLeed with staff's recommendation, since he felt that it was not consistent with what he felt was an agreement with the Parks Department for dedication of 20' off the centerline of Brodie Creek. Mr. James McCloud, President of the Pecan Lake Property Owners' Association, expressed a fear that the proposal would serve as a means of devaluing the existing neighborhood, since the proposal included small lots, and that the name of the subdivision would also be disadvantageous. He expressed further concern that duplexes were allowd in "R-3" as conditional use; therefore, the applicant was asked to commit to no duplexes in Phase I. Mr. Castin agreed. A motion was made to approve the plat, subject to the applicant's agreement to comply with the wishes of Mr. Julius Breckling and the Parks Department regarding dedication. The vote: 9 aves, 0 noes, 0 absent, 1 abstention and 1 open. 1 November 13, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 3 NAME: LOCATION: DEVELOPER: First Federal Service Corporation Little Rock, AR Pecan Lake East, Phase I East End of Tall Timber Blvd., South Side FMnTMRRRr Manes/Castin/Massey 2501 Willow North Little Rock, AR 72115 758-1360 AREA: 5.54 acres NO.
