VARIANCEMAIVERS:
1. A variance to allow a reduced platted building line for the proposed residential lots
which are being developed with rear loaded garages (Section 31-256).
2. A variance from the City's Land Alteration Ordinance to allow grading of future phases
with the development of the first phase.
BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 2016, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat
request to allow a 35-acre site to develop as a townhouse plat. The subdivision was
proposed as a townhouse community with lots that averaged 30-feet in width by 100-feet
in depth. The project was proposed in seven (7) phases. The first Phase included the
development of 38 lots, the clubhouse and pool. Phase II included the development of
40 lots, Phase Ill 43 lots, Phase IV 40 lots, Phase V 42 lots, Phase VI 36 lots and Phase
VI 152 lots (291 lots total). The plat included 6,950 linear feet of new street to be dedicated
to the public. The streets were indicated with a 50-foot right of way and 27-feet of
pavement. Sidewalk were indicated on one (1) side of the interior streets. Centrally
located within the plat were areas set aside for open space and sports fields. Along the
rear of the lots in Phases III — V an area was identified for pedestrian paths to connect to
the open spaces. Big Rock Avenue was proposed as a collector street with a 60-foot
right of way and 31-feet of pavement. The street improvements to Vimy Ridge Road were
to be completed in phases corresponding to the phased development of the subdivision.
The request included a variance to advance grade the project. This would allow excess
earthwork in one phase to be hauled to another phase that required fill. This variance
would allow the earthwork to balance over multiple phases and prevent hauling material
over public streets.
The Phase 1 and 2 portions of the development have been developed. The applicant is
installing the infrastructure for the Phase 3 portion of the development.
On February 2, 2017, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a request to amend
the previously approved preliminary plat for Phases II through VII. The approval was to
allow the removal of the rear yard green spaces and replace the green spaces with alleys
and provide access to rear loaded garages. The lots proposed with rear yard alley access
were indicated with a 15-foot front yard setback. The cover letter stated the reduced
setback would allow for longer driveways between the alley and the garage. The
applicant stated parking or drives would not be allowed in the 15-foot front yard setback.
The lots proposed with front loading garages were indicated with a 25-foot front yard
setback. The lots indicated along Big Rock Avenue, the proposed collector street, were
indicated with a 30-foot front building setback as typically required by the Subdivision

Ordinance for lots fronting a collector street. The approval added two (2) additional lots
to the approved preliminary plat.
On October 12, 2017, the Little Rock Planning Commission approved a request to amend
the previously approved preliminary plat and to allow the replatting of several lots located
along Big Rock Avenue. The applicant proposed to add three (3) lots, Lots 9 — 11, Block
1, the Village at Gateway, within an area which was previously indicated as a Tract. The
approval also allowed the replatting of Lots 1 — 2, Block 8, the Village at Gateway to
remove the rear alley access.
Also on the same agenda the Commission made a recommendation of approval for the
rezoning of 23.26-acres to the south of the subdivision development area from R-2,
Single-family to PCD, Planned Commercial Development, to allow the development of
the site as a mixed use development. The applicant proposed a five (5) lot subdivision
utilizing C-3, General Commercial District uses, a grocery store, an assisted living center
and mini -warehouse. The development proposed a new public street. The street was
proposed with a back of curb to back of curb width of 51-feet with a 90-foot right of way.
The street was proposed as a divided median street. Ordinance No. 21,807 adopted by
the Little Rock Board of Directors on November 7, 2017, approved the overall
development plan and rezoned the property to PCD, Planned Commercial Development
District, as requested.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT -
The current request is to expand the land area to the west and allow the future
development of additional townhomes. The applicant has 100.21-acres of
undeveloped land to the west under contract for purchase to allow the future
development of additional homes. The request currently before the Commission
is the development of 41.72-acres with 261 townhouse lots. The development is
proposed with 8.63-acres of open space. The lots are indicated with front loaded
garages around the perimeter of the development. All other lots are indicated with
alley access and rear loaded garages. The lots indicated with front loading
garages are proposed with a 25-foot front setback. The lots indicated with rear
loaded garages are proposed with a 15-foot front yard setback. The lots are
indicated with a zero setback along the common lot line of the townhomes. The
side yard setback along the lot line not proposed as the common lot line is five (5)
feet.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The first and second phases of the development to the east of this site have been
completed and the third phase is currently under construction soon to be final
platted. This site is forested with a number of trees. North of the site the uses
include residential, commercial and industrial. The area west of the site is

Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated no median would be
allowed along Village Run Parkway between Slate Rock Drive and Quartz Rock
Drive. Staff stated the remainder of the street could be constructed as a divided
parkway. Staff stated the connection to Alexander Road should be completed with
the first or second phase. Staff stated a grading permit was required prior to
construction of the proposed new lots. Staff requested the proposed plat include
the placement of USPS cluster box units in conformance with USPS and the City
of Little Rock.
Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies. Staff
suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with any
questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee
then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.
I. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing most of the
technical issues associated with the request. The applicant has indicated the
connection to Alexander Road will be completed within one year and one-half
(1 1/2) of the beginning of construction. Big Rock Avenue will be extended to Vimy
Ridge Road with the second phase of this portion of the development. The
applicant has also provided the proposed phasing plan. The development is
proposed in four (4) phase. The development is proposed with 45 lots in the first
phase, 35 lots in the second phase, 86 lots in the third phase and 95 lots in the
fourth and final phase.
The request is for preliminary plat approval to allow the development of townhouse
lots on this 41.72-acre site. The lots average 30-feet in width by 100-feet in depth.
The Subdivision Ordinance defines a townhouse lot as two (2) or more attached
dwelling units under condominium or corporate ownership. The Subdivision
Ordinance also states townhouse lots are to be twenty-two (22) feet wide and
eighty (80) feet in depth with an overall lot size of 2,000 square feet. The plat is to
include platted buildings lines to conform to building locations as shown on a
generalized site plan which is to be provided with the submission of the proposed
subdivision creating lots for the townhouse residences. The applicant has met this
requirement.
The plat includes 9,800 linear feet of new street to be dedicated to the public. A
number of the streets are indicated with a 50-foot right of way and 27-feet of
pavement. The plat also includes the placement of a commercial street connecting
Vimy Ridge Road to Alexander Road. Village Run Parkway is indicated with a
90-foot right of way and a divided median. The street is proposed as a connection
from Vimy Ridge Road to Alexander Road. Village Run Parkway will connect with
a commercial street to the south of this development (previously approved and

outlined in the Background Section of this analysis) connecting Alexander Road
and Vimy Ridge Road to provide several means of ingress and egress from the
subdivision. Village Run Parkway will be reduced within the residential portion of
the development to a 60-foot right of'way and the median eliminated to limit the
number of median breaks required for access to the newly proposed streets.
Big Rock Avenue is proposed as a collector street with a 60-foot right of way and
31-feet of pavement.
Centrally located within the plat are areas set aside for open space and a future
clubhouse and pool. The plat includes the placement of walking paths and trails
through -out the various phases to access the areas of open space and the
clubhouse and pool areas.
The plat will include subdivision identification signs at the entrance drive to the
subdivision on Alexander Road and Vimy Ridge Road. The applicant has indicated
the signs will be incorporated into walls at the entrance. The sign lettering will be
placed on each wall side of the entrance street. The signs will exceed the typical
minimum standards as established by the zoning ordinance and the subdivision
will have signage on each side of the entrance drive to the subdivision. This sign
lettering will not exceed a maximum of six (6) feet in height and 32-square feet in
area. The sign will be located on property not owned by this developer. The sign
will be placed within a sign easement on the property along Alexander Road.
The request includes a variance to advance grade the project. The development
of the subdivision will occur in phases. This will allow excess earthwork in one
phase to be hauled to another phase that requires fill. This variance will allow the
earthwork to balance over multiple phases and prevent hauling material over public
streets.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's request for the revision to the preliminary plat.
The subdivision application as proposed appears to meet the minimum
requirements of the subdivision ordinance for the minimum development
standards for a townhouse development. To staff's knowledge there are no
outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff feels the
development as proposed is appropriate-
J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat request subject to compliance
with the comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the
