There are two variances from the Subdivision Ordinance associated with the
proposed preliminary plat; a variance to allow the development of a lot without
public street frontage and to allow an increased lot depth to width ratio. The
applicant is requesting a five year deferral of the required street construction to
Colonel Glenn Road. In addition, due to the rural nature and lack of residential
density in the area, the applicant is requesting a waiver of the required sidewalk
construction to Colonel Glenn Road.
Since the area is not yet served by the municipal sewer system, wastewater
disposal for the proposed lots will be by individual septic systems. The applicant
has contacted the Arkansas Department of Health concerning the proposed
treatment systems. The Health Department has indicated there are no special
requirements for such systems due to the size of the lots.
As a separate item on this agenda, the applicant is requesting approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to allow the placement of a utility substation on proposed
Lot 3 (File No. Z-7980 — Item No. K).

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (April 20, 2006)
The applicants were present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the proposed development stating a Conditional Use Permit was filed
for proposed Lot 3 which would also be heard by the Commission at their
May 11, 2006, public hearing. Staff stated the proposed preliminary plat
indicated variances for the proposed lot development standards. Staff stated a
variance request to allow an increased lot depth to width ratio and a variance to
allow the development of a lot without public street frontage was being
requested. Staff requested the applicant provide the names of any landlocked
parcels within or abutting the proposed plat area.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the indicated driveway
width was not adequate to serve the proposed development. Staff stated with
trucks accessing the site a 50-foot minimum access easement would be
required. The applicants questioned the minimum easement that could be
provided. Staff stated at a minimum 35-feet would be required. Staff also noted
a radius would be required at the intersection with Colonel Glenn Road to allow
trucks turning to make the movement. Staff stated improvements to Colonel
Glenn Road would be required. The applicant indicated the request included a
deferral of the required street improvements and a waiver of the required
sidewalk construction. The applicant stated due to the rural nature of the area
they felt sidewalks would be out of place.
Staff noted comments from the Little Rock Fire Department indicating a letter
from the area volunteer fire department would be required to proceed. Staff
stated the letter from the fire department should include their knowledge of the
project and their ability to serve the proposed development.
Staff noted the water department comment stating they should contact the
utilities directly for additional information on water service to the area. Staff also
stated the applicant had provided documentation from the Arkansas Department
of Health indicating septic system service would be adequate.
Staff provided the applicant with the comments received from County Planning.
Staff stated there were a number of concerns indicated which appeared to have
been addressed. Staff suggested the applicant meet with County Planning to
ensure all their concerns had been addressed.
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 the issues
raised at the April 20, 2006, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has
indicated there are no landlocked parcels within or abutting the plat area. The
proposed driveway width remains at 25-feet. The applicant has met with staff
subsequent to the Subdivision Committee meeting and staff now feels the
indicated access and utility easement width is adequate to serve the
development. Typically the minimum access required for fire protection is a
1/0-foot minimum drive or gate opening. The indicated 25-foot access easement,
in staff's opinion, is adequate.
The revised preliminary plat indicates the property is located in the floodplain but
no portion of the property is located within the floodway. The preliminary plat
indicates a minimum floor elevation set above the 100 year elevation for each of
the indicated lots ranging from 356.5-feet to 357.5 feet.
The applicant is requesting a deferral of the required street improvements to
Colonel Glenn Road for five years or until abutting development occurs. The
request also includes a waiver of the required sidewalk construction. The
applicant stated due to the rural nature of the area they feel sidewalks will be out
of place. Staff is supportive of the deferral request of street improvements to
Colonel Glenn Road but feels the required sidewalk should be put in place at the
time of street construction.
There are two variances from the Subdivision Ordinance associated with the
proposed preliminary plat; a variance to allow the development of a lot without
public street frontage and to allow an increased lot depth to width ratio. Staff is
supportive of the proposed requests. The lots are indicated with adequate
frontage to allow development of residential units with adequate setbacks from
the roadway and property lines. Staff does not feel the increased lot depth to
width ratio will negatively impact the proposed lot. Based on the existing lot
configuration, the parcel exceeds the lot depth to width ratio requirement and
does not appear to have impacted the adjoining properties. In addition, staff
does not feel the development of the proposed lot without public street frontage
will negatively impact the developability of proposed Lot 3. A 25-foot access
easement, sufficient to provide emergency services to the site, has been
indicated across proposed Lot 1.
Since the area is not yet served by the municipal sewer system, wastewater
disposal for the proposed lots will be by individual septic systems. The applicant
has contacted the Arkansas Department of Health concerning the proposed
treatment systems. The Health Department has indicated there are no special
requirements for such systems due to the size of the lots. Staff is supportive of
the proposed wastewater disposal.
The applicant has contacted the area volunteer fire department concerning the
proposed preliminary plat. Staff has received written documentation from the
I:
FILE NO.: S-1518 (Cont.
fire department. The fire department indicates concerns with the proposed
development of the site but no concerns are indicated with the proposed platting
of the lot.
Staff is supportive of the proposed preliminary plat. The plat area is indicated
with lot sizes adequate to allow for development with the minimum lot size
proposed as 1.89 acres and an average lot size of 2.49 acres. According to the
Arkansas Department of Health, the indicated lot areas are adequate for septic
system placement. The site plan indicates well water will be used to serve the
proposed lots. Central Arkansas Water has water service available in the area
and a water line could be extended to serve the proposed lots. To Staff's
knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed
request. Staff does not feel the proposed subdivision of this parcel as proposed
will significantly impact the adjoining properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the above agenda
staff report.
Staff recommends approval of the variance request from Section 31-231 to allow
the development of a lot without public street frontage (Lot 3 Colonel Glenn
Preliminary Plat).
Staff recommends approval of the variance request from Section 31-232(b) to
allow an increased lot depth to width ratio for proposed Lot 2.
Staff recommends approval of the deferral request of the required street
improvements to Colonel Glenn Road.
Staff recommends the required sidewalk be constructed to Colonel Glenn Road
at the time of street construction.
