Please submit plans for water facilities and/or fire protection system to Central Arkansas Water for review. Plan revisions may be required after additional review.

Rock Region_Metro: Location is not currently served by METRO. Chenal Parkway is part of future plans for the West Little Rock express bus. By Federal Mandate we will be required to serve this neighborhood with paratransit serves as a result. Lots developed without connecting access roads and large cul-de-sacs impede service for transit and emergency vehicles. We ask the developers to take this into consideration as they continue work on this large tract of land. Incorporating walking and biking trails as a place holder for future roads might be one innovative way to design in access to future right of ways. Trails add value to neighborhoods and are desirable for buyers. Building Code: No comment. Planning Division: No comment. Landscape: No comment. Revised plat/plan: Submit four (4) copies of a revised preliminary plat/plan (to include the additional information as noted above) to staff on Wednesday, November 4, 2015.
