SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: FILE NO.: S-1773 (April 27, 2016) The applicant was present. Staff presented an overview of the item stating the request was for combination preliminary/final plat approval to allow an existing tract to be split into two (2) lots. Staff stated the owner had an existing house on one (1) of the lots and was proposing to split the lot to allow for future sale and construction of a new home on the second lot. Staff stated Lot 2 was being created with a variance to allow the creation of a lot without public street frontage. Staff stated prior to the issuance of a 911 address an approval letter from the Arkansas Department of Health was required for the existing and proposed septic systems. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated Elvin Road was classified on the Master Street Plan as a collector street which would require dedication of right of way to 30-feet from centerline. Staff stated no street improvements were required with the proposed lot split. Staff noted the comments from County Planning. Staff requested the applicant contact them directly for any additional information concerning their requests. 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. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised plat indicating the right of way dedication per the City's Master Street Plan for Elvin Road. Elvin Road is indicated on the City's Master Street Plan as a collector street which requires a dedication of right of way to 30-feet from the centerline. The applicant has stated a final plat request and the request for a 911 address will not be requested until the owner provides Pulaski County Planning and the City of Little Rock Department of Planning and Development with approval from the Arkansas Department of Health confirming the proposed and existing septic systems are adequate to serve the existing and the new home. The request is for approval of a combination preliminary/final plat approval to allow the creation of two (2) lots from an existing 3.75 acre parcel. The lots are proposed containing 1.83 acres and 1.92 acres. Lot 2 is indicated as a lot rd May 19, 2016 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.- 1 (Cont. FILE NO.: S-1 without public street frontage. To allow Lot 2 as proposed requires a variance from Section 31-231 to allow the creation of the lot without public street frontage. Access to Lot 2 is proposed via a 30-foot access and utility easement located along the western property line of Lot 1. Lot 1 contains an existing single-family home. The home is indicated with adequate setbacks to comply with the typical development standards of the R-2, Single-family zoning district. A 30-foot platted building line will be located along Elvin Road to comply with the typical setback for lots located on a collector street classification. Lot 2 will comply with the setbacks per the R-2, Single-family zoning district. A platted front yard setback of 25-feet will be placed along the common lot line of Lots 1 (rear) and 2. The site is located outside the City Limits of Little Rock but within the City's Extraterritorial Planning Jurisdiction. The lots will be served by individual septic systems each contained on their individual lot. Approval from the Arkansas Department of Health concerning the proposed wastewater treatment will be provided to staff prior to the issuance of a final plat.
