BACKGROUND•
The subject property has been vacant for a number of years except
for Lot 1-R on the replat. A residence exists on this lot.
There are a few mature trees and a lot of undergrowth. The City
acquired the lots as originally platted at 50 feet wide and
working with CDBG and Housing Programs office devised this
replat. This area is part of the Oak Forest initiative. UALR
and the City have targeted this area to work toward halting the
deterioration.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
To reduce 6 lots as now platted to 5. There will be 4 new
houses constructed and the existing house will be
rehabilitated.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The lots are overgrown with a few large trees. The 28th
Street frontage is in good shape with curb and gutter.
Jackson Street is substandard and needs upgrading.

F. ISSUES/TECHNICAL/DESIGN:
1. Adjust building line on Lot 1-R to go around porch.
2. Provide corner radius of 25 feet (dedicate right-of-
way).
G. ANALYSIS•
This is a very simple lot recombination. The plat would
normally be a staff matter except that here street right-of-
way is required and staff cannot accept dedication. There
are no design issues and if the City Staff can work out
street improvement issues it may not require City Board of
Directors' involvement.
H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approval subject to resolving Public Works issue/requirements.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(NOVEMBER 20, 1997)
There was no one present to discuss the Public Works
requirements. However, Anne Guthrie of the Housing Department
attempted to fill that roll. There was very little discussion
and after Bruce Kemmet of Public Works explained his comments the
item was forwarded to the full Commission for final action.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(DECEMBER 18, 1997)
The Staff reported that there are no continuing issues on this
plat. There are no improvements required on abutting streets
because no new lots are being created. The only remaining issue
to be dealt with as a waiver request by the Board of Directors is
the building line along West 28th Street.
The applicant requests that be 20 feet as opposed to 25 feet
required by the Ordinance. Public Works and staff recommend
approval of this plat and the attending variance request.
A motion was made to place this item on the Consent Agenda for
approval. That motion was seconded. The Consent Approval agenda
was approved by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 nays, and 0 absent.
