Little Rock, AR 72114 AREA: 2.75 ACRES NUMBER OF LOTS: 2 FT. NEW STREET: 0 ZONING: R-2 PROPOSED USES: Single Family PLANNING DISTRICT: 18 Ellis Mountain CENSUS TRACT: 42.06 VARIANCES REQUESTED: Deferral of road improvements along Kanis Rd. BACKGROUND• The applicants wish to create a lot for their daughter and her family to construct a single family on Lot 1. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: To split a 2.75 acre parcel with an existing single family home into two lots. Access to the proposed Lot 1 will be via a 20 foot easement from Asbury Road across Lot 2. The existing home on Lot 2 will continue to use a concrete driveway from Asbury Road as access. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The land is flat and heavily wooded. There are no existing curb, gutter or sidewalk improvements on Asbury or Kanis Roads. Surrounding land uses consist of large lot (one acre plus) single family homes. C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: None to date. October 10, 1996 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO • 3 (Cont.) FILE NO.:_.S-1110 D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS: PUBLIC WORKS COMMENTS Dedication of right-of-ways as indicated on the plat appeared to me to Master Street Plan standards. Prefer the plat of lots (1) and (2) be rotated 90 degrees, so that lot (1) would take access from Asbury Road verses the minor arterial Kanis Road. Master Street Plan calls for Asbury Road to be built to a residential street standard 27 feet wide with a sidewalk. Kanis Road is a minor arterial to be constructed 60 feet wide with the sidewalk on both frontages. The corner radius would be improved to 25 feet and handicap accessible ramps would be constructed at the intersection for both sidewalks. Driveways for residents should be constructed and should be built in a way that would not interfere with future public right-of-way improvements specifically the grade of the driveways and a proper transition for sidewalk grades. E. UTILITY COMMENTS/FIRE DEPARTMENT Wastewater: Sewer main extension required with easements. Arkla: No comment Southwestern Bell: OK Water: The water meter for each lot should be adjacent to the lot served. Location of the existing meter needs to be determined. A pro rata front footage charge of $13/foot applies for connections off Asbury Road. AP&L : No comment Fire Department: No comment County Planning: No comment Planning Division: No comment Landscape: No comment F. ISSUES TECHNICAL DESIGN 0 All outstanding planning issues have been resolved. G. ANALYSIS The applicant has worked with Planning and Public Works staffs to resolve staff concerns.

The request was necessary due to the illness of my wife, who had cancer. The planning commission agreed to a 12 month extension which would be to April, 1999. On December 26, 1998 my wife passed away, and because of this we could not do anything with the property, plus it didn't register with me that we had the dead- line approaching in April. ' We are now ready to build a residence on Lot 1 of Berta Replat. This is the East lot. This will be a one story single family residence. Will you present a request to the Planning Commission at their August 19, 1999 meeting to permit us to file a final plat for construction of this residence. It is my understanding that we may apply for a building permit as soon a we comply with the filing requirements of the final plat, as outlined in your literature. Thanking you in advance, I remain Sincerely yours, Robert L. Hawkins RECEIVED JUN 171999 BY:�-
