BACKGROUND:
A preliminary plat for the Water's Edge Subdivision was approved by the Little Rock
Planning Commission on April 22, 2004. The subdivision contained 51+ acres and
149 single-family lots. On July 7, 2005, the Commission approved a revision to the
preliminary plat to increase the number of lots to 156 maintaining the 51± acres. On
September 29, 2005, the area was expanded to include an additional 20± acres which
is the area currently being reviewed for preliminary platting with this application. The
total acreage was the 71± acres with 227 single-family lots. Final platting progressed
on the originally approved preliminary plat. Two final plats have been executed for a
total of 66 lots. Development did not occur on the 20± acres, which was added in
September of 2005. A portion of that area was later rezoned to a PD-R.

Ordinance No. 19,738 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on April 3, 2001,
rezoned 6+ acres of a 20+ acre tract located at the northeast corner of 1-430 and David
O Dodd Road from R-2, Single-family to PD-R. The approval allowed the development
of a 36-unit condominium project. The remaining 14± acres was not rezoned and
remained zoned R-2, Single-family. A preliminary plat was also approved eliminating
the multi -family portion (6 acres of the 20 acres) from the proposed subdivision. The
multi -family development was not constructed and no platting activity occurred on the
single-family portion of the plat. The PD-R expired. Ordinance No. 20,682 adopted by
the Little Rock Board of Directors on January 22, 2013, revoked the PD-R zoning and
restored the previously held R-2, Single-family Zoning District.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (February 13, 2013)
Mr. Pat McGetrick was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the development stating there were few outstanding issues
associated with the request. Staff requested the plat include the name and
address of the owner, the owner's certification and the source of title for the
property. Staff also questioned if there would be fences located within the
setbacks in excess of the height typically allowed per the zoning ordinance. Staff
also questioned the size of the proposed subdivision identification sign.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated due to existing drainage
problems in the area they were requesting the engineer provide a sketch grading
and drainage plan for the area including the channel emptying into the lake. Staff
noted the street names were to be approved by Public Works staff prior to final
platting. Staff stated speed tables were needed midway in the blocks on the
north -south streets to control speeding.
Staff noted the comment from the Little Rock Fire Department stating the plat did
include a secondary access but the developers would need to provide written
approval of the secondary access proposed prior to final platting.
Staff noted comments ° from the other reporting departments and agencies
suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional 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 February 13, 2013, Subdivision Committee meeting. The
name and address of the owner, the owner's certification and the source of title
for the property have been provided. The applicant has indicated all fences
located within the setback will comply with the height typically allowed within the
zoning ordinance. The subdivision sign is proposed to comply with signage
typically allowed or a maximum of six (6) feet in height and 32 square feet
in area.

FILE NO.: S-
The subdivision is proposed with 84 lots created from a 20± acre parcel. The
development will be served by 2,100 linear feet of public street. The subdivision
will be developed in a single phase.
The lots are proposed 60-feet by 120-feet containing 7,200 square feet in area.
Corner lots are indicated with a minimum lot width of 75-feet. The lots are
indicated to fully comply with the minimum standards of the Subdivision
Ordinance. The lots are proposed with 25-foot front and rear yard setbacks and
side yard setbacks of ten percent (10%) of the lot width not to exceed eight (8)
feet.
The plat indicates a 30-foot emergency access from Woodview Circle to connect
with David O Dodd Road along the common lot lines of Lots 17 and 18 to provide
a secondary access. Per the 2006 International Fire Code, one and two-family
residential developments, where the number of dwelling units exceeds 30, must
provide a separate and approved fire apparatus access road. Staff recommends
prior to any grading activities the applicant seek a letter of approval for the
secondary access from the Little Rock Fire Department. No fencing will be
allowed across the 30-foot emergence access easement area.
The applicant has not provided staff with the requested grading and drainage
plan. Staff will work with the applicant to secure the grading plan and review the
results to ensure there is sufficient capacity in the adjacent detention pond to
minimize downstream impacts on homes and properties.
Staff is supportive of the overall request but all the issues have not been
addressed. Staff feels the grading and drainage plan can be secured and
reviewed prior to the Commission's March 7, 2013, public hearing. Staff will
provide a recommendation to the Commission of their findings at the public
hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommendation forthcoming.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(MARCH 7, 2013)
Mr. Pat McGetrick was present representing the request. Staff presented an overview
of the request stating the applicant had provided them with a drainage analysis and had
provided a commitment that the detention from this subdivision be addressed by the
neighboring Water's Edge Subdivision. The applicant indicated improvements would be
made to the existing detention pond for Waster's Edge Subdivision to increase the

capacity to handle Water's Edge Subdivision as well as this subdivision during heavy
rains. Staff stated the applicant had indicated the Bill of Assurance for Water's Edge
Subdivision would be modified to incorporate language necessary to complete the
agreement. Staff stated they felt in addition a note should be included on the
preliminary and final plat for the Woodview Subdivision and the detention agreement be
incorporated into the Bill of Assurance from the Woodview Subdivision.
Staff presented a recommendation of 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 presented a recommendation the applicant revise the Bill of Assurance
from the Water's Edge Subdivision prior to any construction activities on this site to
include language concerning the proposed shared detention of the two subdivisions and
to include a note on the preliminary and final plats for the Woodview Subdivision and
within the Bill of Assurance for the Woodview Subdivision language concerning the
shared detention. Staff stated as noted within the analysis section, the owners were to
maintain a 30-foot emergency access easement on the common lot lines of Lots 17 and
18, there was to be no fencing within the emergency access easement and prior to any
grading activities for the subdivision the applicant secure written approval from the fire
department concerning the proposed emergency access.
There was no further discussion of the item. The Chair entertained a motion for
approval of the item as presented by staff. The motion carried by a vote of 10 ayes,
0 noes, 0 absent and 1 open position.
