BACKGROUND:
The property was previously used as a golf driving range. In 2007, the property was
rezoned from R-2, Single-family to PCD to allow a six (6) lot development with a mixture
of office and commercial uses. In 2015, a PD-R request for a single family residential
development and a CUP for a wastewater treatment plant were filed but were withdrawn
prior to Planning Commission hearing.
A Conditional Use Permit request for a wastewater treatment system was considered by
the Commission on July 14, 2016. The Commission denied this request.
A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT
The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval for a property located at the
northwest corner of Arkansas State Highway No. 10 and Pleasant Grove Road.
The main entrance for the subdivision will be off Highway 10 with circulation and

depth with a minimum lot size of 7,000 square feet. Amenities include walking
trails around the perimeter of the property leading to a common area along the
creek. The common area may include a fishing pond, play field, basketball court
and possibly a pavilion for the residents. Central Arkansas Water facilities are
available to the site. A Conditional Use Permit application is under consideration
that would allow the installation of a package sewer treatment plant to provide
sanitary sewer to the proposed development. The plant has been approved by
the Arkansas Department of Health. The Arkansas Department of Environmental
Quality has provided the discharge limits and review the plant. AEDQ is awaiting
the CUP approval in order to release the construction permit. The Commission
denied this request at their July 14, 2016 hearing.
The developer is proposing the use of an internalized pedestrian circulation
system in -lieu of sidewalks. Section 31-175 of the Little Rock Code of
Ordinances outlines the minimum design requirements for sidewalks. The
ordinances states internalized pedestrian circulation systems in the form of
paved pathways may be substituted for sidewalks along collector and residential
streets upon approval by the Planning Commission.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The overall area around the site is rural in nature; comprised primarily of tracts
of undeveloped land and single family residences on larger tracts of
R-2, Single-family and AF, Agricultural and Forestry zoned property. The
property contains 36-acres. A large portion of the property is cleared of trees but

request for the wastewater treatment plant was denied by the Commission at
their July 14, 2016, public hearing the Commission could not hear the plat
request unless there was an alternate means for wastewater treatment.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated right of way dedications
along Highway 10 and Pleasant Grove Road were required to meet the Master
Street Plan requirements. Staff stated the pedestrian trail system appeared to
promote pedestrians to walk in the street to access the trail systems. Staff stated
street improvements were required along Pleasant Grove Road per the Master
Street plan. Staff questioned if the improvements would be completed in the first
phase.
Staff noted the various comments from the Pulaski County Planning staff and
Pulaski County Road and Bridge. Staff suggested Mr. White contact them
directly for clarification and timing of any of their comments.
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:
Based on comments raised at the July 20, 2016, Subdivision Committee meeting
the applicant has requested a deferral of this item to the September 22, 2016,
public hearing. The Conditional Use Permit request for a wastewater treatment
system was denied by the Commission at their July 14, 2016, public hearing.
With the denial of the request the applicant has not addressed the means of
wastewater treatment for the development. Section 31-171 of the Little Rock
Code of Ordinances states the approval of a development by the Planning
Commission constitutes approval of the Planning Commission for water and
wastewater service to the property, including the installation of necessary water
lines and sewer mains, subject to the policies and procedures of the municipal
water works, the wastewater utility, and approval by the Board of Directors when
necessary. The applicant has a 30-day appeal period from the date of the
Planning Commission's action to appeal their denial of the Conditional Use
Permit request to the Little Rock Board of Directors. Staff recommends deferral
of this item to the Commission's September 22, 2016, public hearing to allow for
the proper appeal period and to determine if the Little Rock Board of Directors
will hear the request for the Conditional Use Permit for the placement of the
wastewater treatment plant within the area to serve the proposed subdivision.
