ITEM NO.: 7
A. PROPOSAL:
FILE NO.: S-1344
The applicant proposes the subdivision of this 14.62 acre site into 60 single-
family residential lots for the development of garden style homes. The lots will
all be rear loading with alley access to garages. The average lot size proposed
is 60 foot by 120 foot or 7,200 square feet. The applicant is proposing the
addition of 2,200 linear feet of internal street as a part of the development. The
applicant proposes nine waivers and variances from City Ordinances related to
the project.
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow double frontage lots for Lots 19-.—
36. These lots will have access from a new city street, Montagne Court and/or
Forest Lane. The applicant is proposing a platted 10-foot no access easernent
along the rear of these lots.
The applicant proposes a reduced setbacks and platted building lines as a part of
the development. The applicant proposes adjacent to the interior street a
variance to allow a 20-foot front platted building line on Lots 1 — 7 and 27 - 60.
The applicant is requesting the corner lots (Lots 1, 38 and 60) be allowed a
reduced rear yard setback of 8-feet and reduced side yard setback on all lots of
5-feet.
The proposed development will not meet the minimum lot size width for a few of
the lots in the development therefore, a variance to allow a reduced minimum lot
width for Lots 18— 21 and 24 — 27 is being requested.
The applicant proposes fencing to surround the development. The proposal
includes an eight -foot wood fence along the north and east property lines (the
rear property lines) and an seven -foot brick column and wrought iron fence
adjacent to the west and south property line or the street right-of-way: The
ordinance standard for fencing height adjacent to the street is four -feet and six-
foot adjacent to the side and rear property line. The applicant is requesting a
variance to allow increased heights of the fencing on all property lines.
The applicant is also requesting a waiver of the internal sidewalk requirement
and a deferral of Master Street Plan requirements for improvements to South
Katillus Road until Phase III develops. The applicant is also requesting a deferral
of Master Street Plan improvements to Forest Lane until Phase IV develops.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site contains a single-family residence along with a stable and riding arena
(for personal use). The area to the north contains two converted single-family
residences with POD zoning: a beauty shop/tanning salon and an attorney's

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
May 30, 2002
Mr. Joe White of White-Daters and Associates was present representing the
application. Staff briefly described the proposed plat indicating additional
information needed on the plat. Staff stated there were several waivers and
variances required as a part of the proposal to "make it work". Staff stated the
applicant should review the design to determine if there was a more workable
design, which would require fewer variances.
Staff stated the applicant was requesting a waiver of street improvements to
Forest Lane. Staff stated the applicant should build the section of Forest Lane

adjoining the site with the final phase. Staff stated the applicant was also
requesting a deferral of street improvements to South Katillus Road from the
entrance to Forest Lane until the development of Phase IV. Staff stated one-half
street improvements to South Katillus Road should be developed no later than
Phase III.
Public Works comments were addressed noting the City did not accept cash
payment for stormwater detention. Staff stated the applicant would be required
to contain stormwater on site. The radii on alleyways were noted and Mr. White
stated in the past the developers had been allowed to keep a right angle on the
"top side" and make a gentle radius transition on the "bottom side".
There were conversations concerning the placement of sidewalks. The question
was raised if the street could be narrowed to allow for the placement .of a
sidewalk. Staff stated a narrower street would not allow for the parking of
vehicles on the street when "guests visit".
Staff stated the Fire Department had indicated the alleyways were sufficient but
there was to be no parking in the alleys. Staff also noted comments from Central
Arkansas Water.
It was determined there were no other issues. The Committee then forwarded
the item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted to staff a revised preliminary plat addressing most of the
issues raised by staff and the Subdivision Committee. The applicant has
indicated half street improvements to both South Katillus Road and Forest Lane
to be completed with Phases III and IV respectively. The applicant has also
changed the radii on the alleyways as requested by Public Works. Staff is
supportive of the requested deferral of street improvements to these two
roadways until such time the specified phases develop.
The applicant proposes several variances from the Subdivision Ordinance to
allow the development to "work". The applicant is proposing double frontage lots
for Lots 19 — 36. The applicant has indicated a platted 10-foot no access
easement along the street side of these lots therefore, staff is supportive of this
requested variance.
The applicant is also requesting a variance to allow a reduced platted building
line on the front for Lots 1 — 17 and 27 — 60. The applicant is also requesting a
variance to allow reduced side yard setbacks of five (5) feet for all of the lots.
The applicant is also requesting a variance to allow reduced rear yard setbacks
of eight (8) feet for Lots 1, 38 and 60. These three lots are corner lots. The
5

ITEM NO.: 7

intent is to allow the reduced rear setback as with the twenty-five foot platted
building line on the exterior side yard.
The desire of the applicant is to develop "garden style homes" on these lots,
which in most cases result in the homes being pulled closer to the streets and
side yard setbacks being reduced. Staff is supportive of the requested
variances to allow the reduced front platted building line, the reduced rear yard
for the corner lots and the reduced side yard setback.
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow reduced lots widths for Lots 18 —
21 and 24 — 27. Staff is supportive of the requested variance to allow these lots
have reduced lot width since the overall subdivision will average lot sizes 6f-6a-
foot by 120-foot.
The applicant is requesting a waiver of internal sidewalk placement. Public
Works has indicated they are supportive of a reduced street width (24-feet) but
are not supportive of the requested waiver of sidewalk placement.
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow an increased fence height, a
seven foot brick column and a six foot wrought iron fence, be placed on the west
(along South Katillus Road) and south (along Forest Lane) property lines (a 4-
foot maximum height is permitted by the code). The applicant is proposing to
place an eight -foot wood fence along the remainder of the property lines (a
variance also — a 6-foot maximum height is permitted by the code). Staff is
supportive of the requested variance to allow an increased fence height along
South Katillus Road and Forest Lane. Staff is not supportive of the request to
allow an eight -foot fence on the remainder of the site.
Otherwise, to staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with
the proposed preliminary plat. Staff is supportive of the preliminary plat in
general but not of the request to waive internal sidewalks or the request to place
an 8-foot wood fence on the east and north property lines.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the proposed preliminary plat as filed.
