The applicant was not present. Staff presented an overview of the item stating
there were few outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff
stated they would contact the applicant to resolve any concerns prior to the

forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action.
ANALYSIS:
There were no outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the
site plan raised at the September 20, 2017, Subdivision Committee meeting.

residential lots. The lots will be final platted with an access and utility easement
to allow access to the rear lot. The easement will be 40-feet wide to allow
adequate area for the installation of any required utilities and the placement of a
new drive.
The request includes a variance from Section 31-231 to allow the creation of Lot
2 as a lot without public street frontage. The plat indicates the placement of
platted building lines on each lot conforming to the Subdivision Ordinance. Lot 1
abuts a minor arterial street which requires the placement of a 35-foot platted
building line. Lot 2 will have a platted building line of 25-feet from the adjacent
lots northern boundary.
The lots are located outside the City limits of Little Rock and will not be provided
with sewer service from the City. The Subdivision Ordinance (Section 31-400)
states for residential lots or development tracts not served by a public or
community sanitary sewerage system whose disposal is approved by the state
department of pollution control and ecology, the subdivider shall submit
documentation with submission of the preliminary plat that the state department
of health, or its delegated authority, will approve septic tank installations, or other
individual wastewater disposal methods for service to the subdivision proposed
to be platted. The applicant has provided a letter indicating based on a soils
suitability test the two (2) lots will support a subsurface septic system. Upon
