January 14, 1986 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 NAME: Marlowe Manor - Phase 5 Subdivision Preliminary Plat LOCATION: South of Hinson Road and East off Morrison Drive DEVELOPER: ENGINEER: Rector -Phillips -Morse, Inc. Edward G. Smith and Associates P.O. Box 7300 401 Victory Little Rock, AR 72217 Little Rock, AR 7*2201 Phone: 664-7807 Phone: 374-1666 AREA: 6.1 acres NO. OF LOTS: 12 FT. NEW STREET: 280 ZONING: "R-2" Single Family District PROPOSED USE: Single Family VARIANCES REQUESTED: (1) Fifteen -foot building lines. (2) Private street. A. Existinq Conditions The area of this plat is wooded, steeply sloping terrain. A prior preliminary plat authorized a layout much like the plan proposed. However, that plan contained fewer lots: B. Development Proposal To restructure the previous preliminary platted lots so as to provide for a new lot numbered 291 and to be located at the north end of a private 20' street. This private street would serve four lots and be less than 200' in length. All of the lots in this -plat would have 15' building setback lines in place of the required 251. This is due to the natural grades back of the curb. The ordinance provides that on lots with 18 percent or greater natural grade that a 15' setback is appropriate. Specific lots that meet this requirement are not noted. January 14, 1986 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued C. Engineering Comments No adverse comment. D o Analysis This proposal presents nothing new in development of land within this subdivision. The,Marlowe Manor plat currently contains pipe stem lots and private streets that appear to function quite well. The only issue we noted in our review consists of: (1) Extension of fire hydrant and proper line sizes on the private street as required. (2) Access to the water tank site to the northwest should be clearly identified. (3) Lot frontage on Lots 292 and 290 should be greater than the apparent 121. E. Staff Recommendation Approved, subject to resolution of the three items noted above. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant addressed the identified issues. He stated that the existing easement to the water tank site would be paved as the project developed, he would adhere to Water Works comments and the private drive would be extended with frontage to consist of 18 feet. Water Works - Maximum floor elevation of any house is 695 feet. Caution on Lots 291-294. A pro-rata charge plus an acreage charge will apply. Easement required as shown. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: In agenda session, which is held before the Public Hearing, Mr. Bob Richardson reminded the Commission that they had denied his plat in Hillsborough Subdivision due to a restriction on development above 695 feet. He pointed out that the Water Works Department had not identified this as an issue in this submission. He was told to resubmit his plat, since it appeared that the restriction had been lifted. The applicant was present at the Public Hearing. There were no objectors. A motion for approval, subject to specifications of maximum floor elevation to 695 feet in the Bill of Assurance was made and passed by a vote of: 10 ayes, 0 noes, 0 absent and 1 abstention (Commissioner Rector abstained).
