Robert D. Holloway, Inc.
200 Casey Drive
Maumelle, AR 72118
Phone: 851-3366
AREA: 10.616 Acres NO. OF LOTS: 3 Tracts FT. NEW ST.: 0
ZONING: 110-3"
PROPOSED USE: Personal Care Retirement Center
A. Site Histo
During rezoning of the property, the City Board
required the "OS" strip around the property.
B. Existing Conditions
The land is located in a rural type setting with the
most predominant use being single family. The site is
vacant with gentle slopes.
C. Development Proposal
This is a request to replat a 10.6 acre tract into
three lots instead of the two approved previously to
allow for better use of the property due to the natural
terrain. The applicant plans to use Tract 1 for a
church, Tract 2 for a personal care retirement facility
and Tract 2-A for future office development.
Variances requested include:
1. The parking requirement for nursing homes; and
2.• Lot width on Tract 2.
The applicant is asking to provide one space for two
beds instead of the usual one space per one bed, since
experience has taught him that the required amount of
parking is unnecessary, due to the fact that most of

the clients do not own cars. He feels that approval of
the request will allow for more green area and less
water runoff from parking lots. The lot width variance
request is from 100' to 150' on Tract 2. It is desired
because of the location of the facility on the rear
portion of Tract 2 and the need for a service/access
entrance. This will give Tract 2-A an increase in
frontage for future developable area.
D. Engineering Comments
1. Dedicate right-of-way. along Stagecoach Road to
arterial standards. Improve Stagecoach Road to
arterial standards; an in -lieu contribution will
be required on Phase I and perhaps for the full
development.
2. Submit internal drainage plan.
E. Analysis
Upon staff's discussion of the item, it was discovered
that there needed to be ome clarification of the
proposed use. The applicant is requested to
specifically describe the intended use for Tract 2, so
that an adequate assessment of the project can be made.
Added information is needed regarding building/unit
specifications, elevations, breakdown on occupancy and
handicapped access. Staff recommends that notice be
given to the neighborhood since they have been active
on previous actions in the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Deferral until additional information is received.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The applicant explained that the use would be a personal
care retirement center or convalescent home, not a nursing
home and that no unit specifications were needed because the
site only had one building. He stated that they preferred
to keep the "dog leg" on Tract 2 since it would mean keeping
the lake frontage and staying off the main road. Staff
supported the waiver request. The applicant was asked to
provide staff with the additional site plan information.
Water Works - Frontage charge would apply.
