A. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
Rocket Properties, Inc. has acquired additional land to the west of Woodlands
Edge. They desire to expand development of their low impact residential
neighborhood and work towards a connection with Kanis Road. The proposed
plat contains approximately 88 acres located west of the current Woodlands
Edge development and south of Kanis Road. The plat will be an extension of
Woodlands Edge with the development of 153 residential lots ranging in size
from 60-feet wide by 110-feet deep up to 100-feet wide and 120-feet deep. In
addition, the plat indicates two tracts fronting Kanis Road which are shown as
PCD. This area is being requested for rezoning to PCD as a separate item on
the current agenda (Z-5096-B).
Rocket Properties believes that the connection of the collector street up to Kanis
Road, as shown on the Master Street Plan, will have a positive impact on the
traffic congestion of Bowman Road. This connection will allow access from
Woodlands Edge to facilities such as Baker School, the Chenal Kroger Store, the
new location of Fellowship Bible Church and the major traffic arteries of Chenal
Parkway and Cantrell Road. The developers believe the connection will not only
benefit the City, but will also greatly enhance the marketing within Woodlands
Edge.
The collector street is indicated for construction to the standard previously
approved as a two lane street with a 45-foot right of way and 28-feet of
pavement. Street intersections will be limited and lots will not front on or take
access directly to the collector street. In working to fit the existing terrain and
maintain as many of the existing trees as possible, the developer is requesting a
variance to allow some short section of the street grades up to 14 percent rather
than the standard 12 percent. In the past, collector streets were allowed to be
constructed 2 percent above the maximum grade or up to 14 percent. An
example is the section of Pebble Beach from Hinson Road west to Rahling Road.
This portion of Pebble Beach Drive has grades up to 14 percent, but the major
difference with the Woodlands Edge collector street will be the limited number of
street intersections and the elimination of lots fronting on this street.

Rocket Properties is also requesting variance approvals for lot sizes of 60-feet by
110-feet, reduced front and rear setback to 20-feet, reduced side yard setbacks
to 5-feet on the lots proposed as 60-feet by 110-feet, and variances on standard
lots of reduced rear yard setbacks of 15-feet when adjacent to green spaces, the
addition of pipestem lots, and the length of a minor residential street. Also,
Rocket Properties would like to continue development of the residential sidewalk
system within the open space as opposed to standard sidewalk construction
along the collector street as they have been doing throughout the development of
Woodlands Edge.
A portion of the site is currently zoned PRD. A revocation request to restore the
previously held R-2, Single-family zoning district is a separate item on this
agenda (Z-5096-C).
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site is a wooded site located south of Kanis Road at the intersection with
Kirby Road. The western boundary of the PRD is the City limits with the plat
boundary extending beyond the City limits. The area appears to be relatively flat.
A branch of the Panther Creek is located along the southern boundary of the
PRD zoned property. To the east of the site are single-family homes, both
attached and detached, being constructed in a newly developing subdivision,
Taylor Park. Further east are residences located along White Road. To the
north of the site are also single-family homes located on large lots and acreage.
West of the site is vacant land currently zoned R-2, single-family. At the
intersection of Kanis and Kirby Roads is a site zoned C-1, Neighborhood
Commercial and further north is a site zoned PD-R approved for the development
of attached single-family homes.
C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
As of this writing, staff has received a number of informational phone calls from
area residents. All abutting property owner, along with the Parkway Place
Property Owners Association, the Gibralter Height/Point West/Timber Ridge

Mr. Joe White and Mr. Ron Tyne were present representing the request. Staff
presented an overview of the item stating there were a number of items in the

immediate area which were being considered for rezoning and potential
non-residential development. Staff stated a portion of the proposed subdivision
was located outside the City limits and a portion of the area was zoned PD-R.
Staff stated annexation and a revocation would be required to allow the
development of the plat as proposed. Staff stated there were a number of
variances being requested for the proposed subdivision. Staff questioned a
number of the variances requesting the applicant provide additional information
to determine if a variance was indeed necessary.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the indicated collector
street should be constructed to Master Street Plan standard. Mr. Tyne stated the
request was to match the existing street width of Woodlands Trail which was
approved with a reduced right of way and paving width. Staff noted Woodlands
Trail did not have street intersections except at round-abouts. Mr. Tyne noted
there were a number of access points which were not located at round-abouts.
He stated the desire for the reduced street was to reduce speeds of traffic. He
stated the narrow street did in fact reduce the overall speed of motorists. Staff
questioned the placement of sidewalks. Mr. Tyne stated sidewalks would be
placed in an easement as in previous phases of the development.
Staff noted County Planning had indicated concern with the proposed
development since a portion of the site was located outside the City limits. Staff
stated if the site was not annexed, the applicant would be required to seek
County approval of the preliminary plat separate and apart from the City
approval. Staff stated their review was based on the assumption the site would
become a part of the City to receive City services.
Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and
agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional information
and clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee
then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing most of the
issues raised at the March 22, 2007, Subdivision Committee meeting. The
applicant has indicated the minimum lot width at the building line for the
proposed lots is 60-feet. The applicant has indicated annexation will be sought
from the City of Little Rock prior to development of the areas located outside the
City limits.
The revised preliminary plat indicates the construction of Woodlands Trail with a
reduced standard. The plat indicates a variance from the Master Street Plan to
allow a reduced design standard for a collector street Woodlands Trail (45-feet of
right of way and 28-feet of paving) and a variance from the Master Street Plan to

allow a trail system in -lieu of sidewalks. The developers have indicated the
street construction will match the existing design of Woodlands Trails. Staff is
supportive of the proposed reduced design. It appears the design of the existing
street has acted as a traffic calming device by narrowing the streets. Traffic
appears to drive slower speeds through the area. The placement of sidewalks
within a trail system has worked well for the neighborhood. The Commission has
the ability to approved alternative pedestrian pavement in -lieu of sidewalks. Staff
is supportive of this request.
The developer has not provided staff with the location for the street grade
variance request, the intersection grades and the certificate of sight distance.
Staff recommends these items be provided to staff prior to the Commission
acting on the request. Staff will provide a recommendation on these specific
items once they have had a chance to review the data provided.
The developers are requesting a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance to
allow the creation of pipe stem lots (Lots 14 and 15 Block 18 and Lots 7 and 11
Block 189) and a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow an increased
depth of the proposed pipe stem lots (Lots 14, 15 Block 18, Lot 11 Block 19).
Section 31-232(f) of the Little Rock Code of Ordinances prohibits the
development of pipe stem lots. Section 31-2 of the Little Rock Code of
Ordinances defines and establishes the criteria for development of pipe stem
lots. Pipe stem lots are to be developed with a minimum lot width of 30-feet at
the street and a maximum depth of 300-feet including the stem. The lots
indicated exceed the maximum allowable depth. The applicant has indicated the
pipe stem lots are desirable to allow homes to be placed on ridge tops and the
increased length is necessary to place the homes as desired. Staff is supportive
of the request. The developers have indicated green spaces along the rears of
the proposed pipe stem lots and the rear yards of the lots proposed fronting the
streets. Staff does not feel the requested variances will adversely impact the
development or the future homes.
The proposed plat indicates a number of variance requests associated with the
typical lot development standards for R-2, Single-family zoned property. The
request includes variances from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow a reduced
front building line of 20-feet for Lots 1 — 25 Block 15, Lots 1 — 19 Block 16 and
Lots 1 — 22 Block 17, a reduced front building line (15-feet) for Lots 6 and 7 Block
15, a reduced side yard setback of 5-feet for lots with a lot width of 60-feet and a
reduced rear yard setback of 15-feet for all the proposed lots. The previous
phases of Woodlands Edge have been approved with similar development
standards as the current request. The developers have indicated the desire is to
maintain the development pattern which was previously approved and which has
worked well for the subdivision. Staff is supportive of the request. As indicated
by the developers the previous phases were approved with similar reduced

standards and this does not appear to have negatively impacted the
development or the area.
There are variances from the Master Street Plan associated with the proposed
request. Variances are being requested to allow an increased length of a Minor
Residential Street and to allow an increased grade for a collector street
(14 percent). Staff is requesting additional information concerning this variance
request. Staff requests the applicant provide the location of the increased street
grades, the intersection grades and a certification of sight distance for the
proposed development. The ordinance typically requires a minor residential
street to not exceed 750-feet. The proposed streets do not exceed the maximum
number of allowable lots; only the increased length. Staff is supportive of the
variance request. The developers are requesting a reduced roadway width to
discourage excessive speeds through the neighborhood. Staff agrees with the
applicant and is supportive of the variance request.
Staff supports the proposed preliminary plat and the associated variances. The
developers are requesting a preliminary plat to allow the creation of 153 lots on
this 87.7 acre tract with a density of 1.7 units per acre. The development is
proposed with a vast amount of the area dedicated as green space to serve the
subdivision. The lots are indicated with a minimum lot size of 60-feet by
11 0-feet, an average lot size of 85-feet by 11 0-feet and maximum lot size of 100-
feet by 120-feet. The average lot size indicated is more than adequate to meet
the typical minimum ordinance standards for R-2, Single-family zoned property.
Staff does not feel the variances associated with the request will significantly
impact the development or the area.
The developer must provide staff with the location for the street grade variance
request, the intersection grades and the certificate of sight distance. Staff
recommends these items be provided to staff prior to the Commission acting on
the request. Staff will provide their recommendation on these specific items once
they have had a chance to review the data provided. Otherwise to staff's
knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
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 Subdivision
