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. C! FILE NO.: S-1518 (Cont. 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.
