191

were considered at the Board of Directors Meeting held July 16, 1996 and all four failed
On August 6, 1996, a motion was adopted to reconsider these items on September 17,
1996, as requested by the applicant. However, the items were deferred to October 1,
1996; and again to November 7, 1996, at the request of the applicant.) Mr. Jim
Hathaway, representing Capitol Development of Arkansas and Mr. John Burnett,
requested that the Zoning Ordinance (Item 40) be considered first. Whereupon,
Ordinance No. 17,312 was introduced, with the title being:
AN ORDINANCE RECLASSIFYING PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE
CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AMENDING SECTION 36 OF THE
CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS; AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES;
(Z- 6120 -A - To rezone 41.58 acres along Cooper Orbit Road, north of Spring Valley
Manor from "R -2" Single Family District to "MF -12" Multifamily District, with
conditions.)
and the Ordinance was read the first time. Mr. Hathaway stated that no agreement has
been reached between the applicant and the residents of Spring Valley Manor, although
there was an agreement reached with the president of the Board of Spring Valley Property
Owners Association. Mr. Hathaway made a lengthy presentation and listed three reasons
to vote for the rezoning of the 42 acres within the 190 acre tract: (1) there is significant
infrastructure that must be built to develop this property; (2) significant concessions have
been granted relative to the density of multifamily by agreeing to limit the 13 acres on the
east side to 125 units; and (3) it was approved by Planning Commission and Staff and is
the result of a compromise with the Property Owners Association. Mr. Hathaway then
responded to questions by the Board of Directors. Director Kumpuris referred to a letter
Mr. Hathaway had written to Mr. O.S. (Rusty) Sparks dated October 30, 1996,
concerning a Memorandum of Understanding between the Spring Valley Manor Property
Owner's Association and Capitol Development of Arkansas, Inc. and asked him if there
would be any objection to making the items listed in the agreement a part of the
Ordinance. Mr. Hathaway said absolutely not. (During the discussion of the Land Use
Plan [see Ordinance No. 17,313 below] City Attorney Tom Carpenter stated the
conditions listed in the October 30, 1996 letter would be written out in the Zoning
Ordinance) Mr. Rusty Sparks, President of Spring Valley Manor Property Owners
Association, said that Mr. Hathaway's letter was the first definitive agreement they had to
work with and wanted the record to clearly indicate that the residents of Spring Valley
Manor had left the City Hall on numerous occasions with deferrals based on the intent to
work toward some common resolution and with the promise they would be contacted
"tomorrow ". However, they would wait weeks without being contacted by the
developer. Mr. Sparks said they had some concerns about the multifamily zoning, but
were not opposing it as it stands tonight. Ms. Mary Mikes, a resident of Spring Valley
Manor, spoke in opposition to the rezoning. There was a lot of discussion regarding the
sewer issue. Mr. Sparks said Little Rock Wastewater Utility will not discuss the issue
until the annexation is approved by the Board of Directors. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of
Planning and Development, stated the issue is the land use plan and zoning - is it
reasonable to have partial multifamily and single family is this subdivision - yes, it is
very reasonable. Following the lengthy discussion, Director Hinton moved to suspend
the rules to provide for the second reading of the Ordinance. The motion was seconded
by Director Keck and unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being ten in
number and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors, and the second
reading of the Ordinance ensued. There was a subsequent motion and second by
Directors Keck and Hinton, respectively, to again suspend the rules and place the
Ordinance on third and final reading, and the motion was unanimously adopted by the
Board Members present, being ten in number and two- thirds or more of the members of
the Board of Directors. The Ordinance was read the third and last time, and a roll call
vote was taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, with the vote recorded as
follows: Ayes - Directors Mason, Kumpuris, Hodges, Keck, Sharp, and Mayor Dailey -
total 6; Noes - Directors Adcock, Hinton, Joyce, and Wyrick - total 4; Absent - Director

spoke very strongly in opposition to the annexation, expressing concern about the traffic
generated by the development of the annexation area. Mrs. Ethel Ambrose, President of
the Coalition of Little Rock Neighborhoods, also spoke in opposition to the annexation,
stating the issue is to develop a policy that will give us a plan for the twenty -first century
that would give us land growth with definitions of growth built into that plan. Others
speaking in opposition to the annexation were Ms. Terry Eastin, Mr. John Fritz, Mrs.
Annie Abrams, and Mr. Alan Rail. Mayor Dailey spoke in support of the annexation,
stating that growth by annexation is very important to the City of Little Rock. Director
Hodges agreed with Mayor Dailey's comments, stating that this is an issue of whether we
are going to control growth outside our borders; it's going to happen no matter what we
do. Directors Wyrick, Hinton, and Joyce were not supportive of the annexation. The
Ordinance was then read the first time, and Director Mason moved to suspend the rules

Director Hodges reported that Initiated Act I passed at the General Election on
Tuesday, November 5, 1996. The Act contains rather severe limitations on campaign
contributions and Sections 2 and 3 are in effect right now, which limits the amount of
money to be received to $100.00. It also gives the Board the right to fill in some of the
loopholes in the City Code of Ethics, particularly regarding time limits for contributions.
He volunteered to draft an Ordinance to make modifications to the City Code of Ethics
and will work with City Attorney Tom Carpenter on preparing the Ordinance.
At the time allotted for Citizen Communications, the first speaker was Mr.
Barry Haas, who spoke about Initiated Act I, stating that four other states also passed
similar acts. In Arkansas the vote was 66% in favor of the Act. New limits for all elected
officials are down to $100.00 per election, effective November 6, 1996.
The next speaker during Citizen Communications was Ms. Mary Lee, a member
of the John Barrow Neighborhood Association. She said her neighborhood has an
ongoing problem with animals. She presented a petition with over 250 signatures, asking
3

Minutes

for formation of a special task force to address the need for increased animal control
services and enforcement of animal control ordinances, because loose and stray animals
bite people and are a nuisance to the community. She concluded by asking the Board of
Directors to give the petition immediate attention. Mayor Dailey asked Director Linda
Joyce to serve as coordinator of a task force.
Mrs. Erma Hendrix (a former City Director) was the next speaker during Citizen
Communications. She had received a letter from City Attorney Tom Carpenter stating
his office had received a complaint that she was in violation of Little Rock City Code
Section 6 -48 - Dogs Barking and Howling. She said her dog is not stray, he is in her
yard, he is licensed, he barks when emergency vehicles come by, he is a watch dog so he
barks when strangers come by. She was appealing to the Board, asking what do you do
when you are within the perimeters of the law.
The next speaker during Citizen Communications was Mr. Robert Brown, who
is a resident of the Walton Heights neighborhood. He said the citizens west of I -430
could use a park in that area. He was very pleased with the maintenance and
improvements going on in Rebsamen Park and War Memorial Park.
Attached to the Agenda was an Addendum deleting Items 20, 21, 22, and 30.
The applicant for Item 20 requested deferral until further notice. Items 21 and 22 were
related items; therefore Items 20, 21, and 22 were deferred until further notice. Item
30 was deferred until December 3, 1996, as requested by the applicant. Therefore, no
action was taken on the following items:

Item 15 on the Agenda was a motion to defer the public hearing on the appeal
of the Planning Commission's denial of the application to rezone 4941 West
Markham Street from "0-3" General Office District to "C -3" General Commercial
District, until the West Markham Study is completed. (The appeal was filed by Sam
Hilburn on behalf of Randall E. Smyly/Waffle House) There was a motion and second by
Directors Kumpuris and Hinton, respectively, to defer the public hearing until December
17, 1996. Mr. Hilburn said this has been brewing for months, and it is time for a
decision so the people in the neighborhood don't have to keep coming to these meetings.
The motion was adopted by a vote of 9 ayes, 1 absent (Wilson), and 1 recused (Mayor
Dailey). Therefore, the public hearing was deferred to December 17,1996. ( See

A public hearing had been scheduled for this time and place by a motion adopted
October 15, 1996, on the appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of the
application for a roof sign for The Edge, located at 1010 East 3rd Street (the former
Spaghetti Warehouse location). The appeal was filed by Mr. Fred Gray on behalf of the
owners, Dennis and Danny Martindill. Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Fred Gray of the Hathaway Group explained the reason for the roof sign and asked
the Board to support the efforts of the owners to preserve an historically significant
structure while providing entertainment, exposure and support to an area of town that has
seen major City and citizen financial commitments in recent months. Mr. Jim Lawson,
Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, said the Sign Ordinance does not allow roof
signs, and the roof sign does interfere with the historic significance of the building. Mrs.
Ruth Bell, representing the Pulaski County League of Women Voters, said the League
encouraged the City to write a sign ordinance and feel very protective about it. She said
the League would like to see City officials work with the owners to try to find another
way to more appropriately advertise the business. Mr. Ron Wood, Chairman of the Little
Rock Planning Commission, said this item did not really fail, it just did not have enough
votes because there were only eight members present at the meeting. Mayor Dailey
declared the public hearing closed, and consideration was then given to Ordinance No.

second reading of the Ordinance ensued. There was a subsequent motion and second by
Directors Sharp and Wyrick, respectively, to again suspend the rules and place the
Ordinance on third and final reading. The motion was unanimously adopted by the Board
Members present, being ten in number and two- thirds or more of the members of the
Board of Directors, and the Ordinance was read the third and last time. A roll call vote

in five years. Mr. Gray said he and the owners would meet with the Quapaw Quarter
officials that are knowledgeable of historical architecture and get back to the Board with
their suggestions about the sign in about two weeks)
