construction of the street or to grade future phases with Phase 1?
2. Damage to public and private property due to hauling operations or operation of
construction related equipment from a nearby construction site shall be repaired by the

H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(January 31, 2018)
Mr. Tim Daters of White-Daters and Associates was present representing the
request. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were additional
items necessary to complete the review process. Staff stated as indicated in the
cover letter an annexation of the Phase 3 portion would be required prior to
development of these lots. Staff also requested the applicant provide the
location for a proposed mail kiosk, should the post office desire this type of mail
delivery system.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated a grading permit would be
required prior to any land development. Staff questioned if advanced grading
was being request. Mr. Daters stated the request did include advanced grading
to allow grading of all phases with the development of the first phase. Staff
stated streetlights were required. Staff stated the Fire Code required a
secondary access point to the subdivision a minimum of 20-feet in width. Staff
requested the applicant provide a sketch grading and drainage plan. Staff stated
if the drainage infrastructure was required to be constructed in the rear of the lots
then access to the drainage infrastructure was required to assure maintenance.
Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies.
Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with
any questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion. The
Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing most of the
technical issues raised at the January 31, 2018, Subdivision Committee meeting.
The applicant has indicated the subdivision identification sign will be a maximum
of six (6) feet in height and thirty-two (32) square feet in area. The subdivision
7

SUBDIVISION

identification sign is consistent with signage allowed per the zoning ordinance for
single-family subdivisions. The applicant has indicated a location for a mail kiosk
should this type of mail delivery be required.
The request includes a variance to allow grading of future phases and the lots
with the installation of the streets and utility extensions. The applicant has
indicated the need to grade future phases and the lots with the extension of the
utilities and the placement of the streets is to allow the site to balance eliminating
the need to haul excess materials from the site.
The subdivision is proposed with 87 single-family residential lots developed in
three (3) phases. The average lot sizes proposed are 75-feet by 130-feet. The
development is indicated with 3,170 linear feet of new public street constructed to
residential street standard. The applicant has indicated the streets will be
constructed with 27-feet of pavement within a 45-foot and a 50-foot right of way.
The request includes a variance to allow a minimum horizontal radius of 75-feet.
The Master Street Plan indicates a minimum horizontal radius of 150-feet is
required on residential streets.
Phase I includes Lots 1 to 31. Phase II includes Lots 32 and 33, Lots 54 to 74
and Lots 82 to 87. The final phase includes Lots 34 to 53 and Lots 75 to 81.
Due to the topography the applicant is requesting a variance to allow a 20-foot
front building line on all the lots. Section 31-256 states front yard building lines
on residential lots are to be 25-feet. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow
a front building line of twenty (20) feet. Section 36-254(2) states side yard
setbacks are to be a minimum of ten (10) percent of the lot width not to exceed
eight (8) feet. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow the side yard setbacks
on each side of the lots at seven (7) feet.
Section 31-175(2) of the Little Rock Code of Ordinances states internalized
pedestrian circulation system in the form of paved pathways may be substituted
for sidewalks along collector and residential streets upon the request of the
applicant and the approval of the Planning Commission
A portion of the proposed plat area is located outside the City limits of Little Rock.
Prior to development of this area the applicant will seek annexation to the City to
allow all City services to serve the proposed new lots.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The applicant is seeking
preliminary plat approval to allow the development of 87 single-family lots on this
32.7-acre site. The development is proposed with a density of 2.66-units per
acre. To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues

comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda
staff report.
Staff recommends approval of the variance request from the Land Alteration
Ordinance to allow grading of all phases with the development of the first phase.
