ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan addressing most of the issues raised at the June 24, 2015, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has provided the proposed signage plan and noted the building coverage is less than five (5) percent of the total site area. The applicant is working to secure a letter from the area volunteer fire department and will provide the approval letter from the fire department prior to construction. The applicant is requesting Subdivision/Multiple Building Site Plan Review as per Section 31-13 of the Little Rock Code of Ordinances. The request is to allow multiple structures on a single parcel. The applicant is proposing the construction of a new shop building on this property which currently contains a single-family residence. An existing barn and out building will be removed to allow the new shop to be constructed. The building will be a metal building with a concrete slab. The building is proposed containing 5,000 square feet. The single-family residence is currently unoccupied but is proposed to remain on the site. The existing gravel drive will be used to access the new construction. The parking areas around the shop will also be graveled. The areas proposed for gravel are not subject to customer traffic. The Subdivision Ordinance states Subdivision Site Plan Review is a development review process that provides for case by case consideration of project particulars including the provision of parking and landscaping in accordance with the appropriate ordinances, siting of buildings, and the relationships with adjoining properties. The property is zoned M — Mining. The mining district establishes setbacks as a 50-foot front yard and 35-foot side and rear yards. There is not a height restriction in the mining district. The buildings are proposed with adequate setbacks to meet the minimum requirements of the zoning district. July 16, 2015 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont.
