MCGETRICK ENGINEERING Little Rock, AR 72211 11225 Huron Ln., Suite 200 223-9900 Little Rock, AR 72211 223-9900 AREA: 31.13 ACRES NUMBER OF LOTS: 81 FT. NEW STREET: 3550 ZONING: R-2 PROPOSED USES: Single -Family Residential PLANNING DISTRICT: 16 CENSUS TRACT: 42.08 VARIANCES REQUESTED: 1. Waiver from the requirement to construct a sidewalk along Cayman Cove 2. Waiver from the Public Works requirement that Davis Cup Lane be constructed to collector standards STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes the development of a 31-acre tract which lies adjacent to and is to become a part of the Otter Creek property owners' association. The development of 81 single- family residential lots on 3550 feet of new streets is proposed. Along the east and west boundaries of the property, strips and areas of ground are reserved as open space. A waiver of the sidewalk requirement for Cayman Cove, a standard residential cul- de-sac, is requested, with the justification being that a sidewalk is to be constructed in the open space strip which lies at the rear of Cayman Cove lots which back up to the eastern open space strip. The primary access road through the site, Davis Cup Lane, is proposed to be constructed to standard residential standards. Public Works states that this road should be built to collector standards, and the applicant seeks a waiver from this requirement. The remaining four cul-de-sacs qualify as minor residential streets, and no sidewalks are required nor planned to be constructed along their rights -of -way. A. PR P AL RE E T• Planning Commission approval is requested of a preliminary plat for the subdivision of a 31-acre tract to include 81 single-family lots and the construction of 3550 feet of FILE O.: S-45-A-16 (Cont.) streets. The layout includes: 1) construction of one primary through street which is proposed to be built to standard residential standards; 2) construction of five cul- de-sacs, four of which qualify as minor residential streets and along which no sidewalks are proposed, and one of which exceeds the length to qualify as a minor residential street and for which a waiver of the sidewalk requirement is sought; and, 3) provision of linear open space and "Tot Lots" along the east and west boundaries of the site. A waiver is sought from the Planning Commission from the Public Works requirement that the primary through street, Davis Cup Lane, be constructed to collector standards in lieu of being constructed to standard residential standards, as proposed. The Board of Directors will be asked to waive the requirement to construct a sidewalk along the standard residential cul-de-sac, Cayman Cove, with the justification being that a sidewalk is to be constructed in the open space which abuts lots which lie along the eastern right-of-way of Cayman Cove. B. EXISTING -CONDITIONS: The site is presently undeveloped and is heavily wooded. The southern boundary of the site abuts the northern boundary of the Otter Creek Community, Phase IV -A, and the proposed development continues the street system from Otter Creek into the new addition. The site is zoned R-2, with exclusively R-2 zoned land surrounding the site. C. ENGINEERING/UTILITY COMMENTS: Public Works will require that Davis Cup Lane meet collector street standards, including constructing the street as a 36 foot wide section in a 60 foot right-of-way, with a sidewalk along one side of the street. The developer will be required to submit, prior to beginning any work on the site, construction plans for street improvements, a complete grading and drainage plan, and a stormwater detention plan. Water Works reports that water main extensions will be required. Wastewater reports that sewer main extension, with easements, will be required. Arkansas Power and Light Co. will require easements. Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. approved the submittal without comment. Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. will require easements. 2 FILE NO.-;- S-45-A-16 (Cgnt.) The Little Rock Fire Department approved the submittal without comment. D. ISSUESILEGALITECHNICALIDESIGN: In the "Definitions" section of the Subdivision Regulations, a minor residential street is defined as, for example, a cul-de-sac street having a length of 750 feet or less and providing access to not more than 35 single-family lots. Section 31-209 stipulates that a minor residential street does not have to have the required sidewalk constructed along the one side of their right-of-way. Section 31-202.a sets the maximum allowable length of a cul-de-sac street at 1000 feet. Four of the cul-de-sacs meet the requirement for minor residential street designation, and no sidewalk is required or planned. Cayman Cove is 1000 feet in length, and, since it exceeds the 750 foot length, meets the requirement to be classified as a standard residential street where a sidewalk is required; however, the applicant seeks a waiver of that requirement. In the "Definitions" section of the Subdivision Regulations, a collector street is defined as one that is designed primarily to gather traffic from local or residential streets and carry it to the arterial system. The developer seeks to build a standard residential street in a 50 foot right-of-way, and seeks a waiver of the Public Works requirement that Davis Cup Lane be constructed to collector street standards in a 60 foot right-of-way. E. ANALYSIS: The definition of a minor residential street includes both a length requirement (750 feet of length for a cul-de-sac street) and a number of lots served requirement (35). Although Cayman Cove exceeds the 750 foot length requirement, it only serves 29 lots. Staff can support the waiver request for the sidewalk along the Cayman Cove right- of-way, especially since a sidewalk is proposed to be constructed at the rear of lots along the east side of the right-of-way and which abut the open space which lies along the eastern boundary of the site. Davis Cup Lane has no lots which face it; it "gathers" traffic from six other streets. It serves, in this phase, 81 lots, with others to be served by it as additional phases are developed. It meets the requirements for needing to be built to collector standards, and Public Works comments that this street should, indeed, be constructed to collector street standards, with a 36 foot wide street width and a sidewalk along one side of a 60 foot right-of-way. 3 FILE O.:-45-A-16 (Cont.) There are no other substantiative issues or deficiencies remaining to be resolved. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat and of the waiver of the sidewalk requirement along Cayman Cove. However, staff recommends that Davis Cup Lane be constructed to collector standards, and recommends denial of the waiver request which would permit Davis Cup to be constructed to standard residential standard. S_UBDIVI5I_QPJ gQMMITTEE C MMEN : (AUGUST 18, 1994) Bob Lowe, with McGetrick Engineering, was present. Staff presented the request and reviewed the scope of the project with the Committee members present. The Committee members reviewed with Mr. Lowe the comments contained in the discussion outline. In response to the Public Works requirement that Davis Cup Lane be constructed to collector street standards, Mr. Lowe presented a master development plan of the Otter Creek Community, and related that Davis Cup Lane is a relatively short street which connects two collectors. He said that the stub -out for Davis Cup Lane off of Wimbledon Loop is in a 50 foot right-of-way and that making the change to the existing stub street in an area that is already developed would be difficult. The Public Works staff responded that Davis Cup Lane acts as a collector street, with several other streets feeding onto it and many lots being served by it. They added that, because residents along such streets desire on -street parking, Davis Cup Lane needs to be wider than a standard residential street; otherwise, on -street parking would have to be restricted. The Public Works staff related that the 36 foot wide collector street could be built in the existing 50 foot right-of-way in the stub -out from Wimbledon Loop. The remaining comments were reviewed with Mr. Lowe. Mr. Lowe indicated that all deficiencies in the plan and the needed changes would be made. The -Committee forwarded the item to the Commission for approval of the preliminary plat. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 6, 1994) Staff reported that the applicant had modified the plat to eliminate Davis Cup Lane as a through street, and, consequently, that Traffic Engineering no longer recommended increasing Davis Cup Lane to a collector standard. Staff reported that there are no other issues to be resolved, and recommended approval of the revised plat. The item was included on the Consent Agenda for approval, and the preliminary plat was approved with the vote of 10 ayes, 0 nays, 0 absent, 0 abstentions, and 1 open position. 4 13 City of Little Rock Department of Neighborhoods and Planning 723 West Markham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201-1334 (501) 371-4790 rf RE: Date August 1, 1aa4 Planning Zoning and Subdivision Name: The Hills Subdivision File No.: 5-45-A-16 Type of Issue: Preliminary Plat Location: Northwest, beyond the present - end of Ottor Creek Parkway Arkansas Power & Light Company Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company Southwestern Bell Telephone Company Little Rock Municipal Water Works Little Rock Wastewater Utility System County Planning Little Rock Fire Department Public Works Department - Engineering Parks and Recreation Department Neighborhoods'& Planning - Site Plan Review Graphics TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: On September 6_ , 19 gam_, the Little Rock Planning Commission will consider the above referenced subject.
