G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: May 30, 2002
The applicant was not present. Staff introduced the item indicating the proposed
subdivision was located in the City's Extraterritorial Planning Jurisdiction for
subdivision but the area did not have zoning. Staff stated the proposed
industrial subdivision preliminary plat complied with the requirements for
industrial subdivisions outside the City limits but within the City's Planning
Jurisdiction.
Staff stated there were some discrepancies between the County requirements
and the City requirements and Staff, along with the applicant, would meet to

FILE NO.: S-1343
discuss the discrepancies. There was no further discussion. The Committee
then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plat to staff addressing the issues raised. The
applicant has platted a 70-foot platted building line from the centerline of the
street as required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant has agreed
to construct Y2 street improvements to Fletcher Road and Zuber Road in
accordance with the City's Master Street Plan requirement. The applicant has
also platted a 30-foot platted building line along all property lines not adjacent to
a street as required by the Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant has indicated
the project will be developed in one Phase including all streets and utilities.
Although County comments are extensive with regard to this application City
Staff has had conversations with County Staff and many of the issues raised by
the County are issues which were also raised by City Staff and requested to be
included on the revised preliminary plat (most of which have been addressed).
For the most part the issues have been resolved during the preliminary platting
process or will be resolved during the final platting process.
The applicant has indicated they will seek annexation to the City of Little Rock to
receive sewer service to the site. This annexation request should be forth
coming in the next 60 to 90 days. Should the applicant not receive city sewer
service the applicant will be required to revise the preliminary plat indicating the
means of wastewater disposal in accordance with all County and State Health
Department requirements. The applicant will also be required to address the
concerns of the County Staff with regard to the preliminary plat approval process
noted in Section E should the proposed annexation not become reality.
Staff is supportive of the proposed preliminary plat as filed. The proposed plat
meets the minimum requirements as set forth in the Subdivision Ordinance for
industrial subdivisions outside the City limits but within the City's Extraterritorial
Planning Jurisdiction.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat subject to
compliance with the conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E, F and H of this
report.
