line currently extends up the south side of Belle Point Drive, but there are no other
Entergy facilities in the area which are in conflict with the proposal. Contact Entergy in

extensions, and future facilities locations as this project proceeds.

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.
