FILE NO.: S-1817 H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT. (June 6, 2018) Mr. Corey Finkbeiner was present representing the request. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were few outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the proposed plat. Staff stated Tall Pine Boulevard was indicated on the Master Street Plan to extend southward through this property to connect to Lanehart Road. Staff stated a right of way dedication of 30-feet was required along the eastern edge of the property to comply with this requirement. Mr. Finkbeiner stated he would check with the owner to see if they were willing to comply with this request. 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. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing the technical issues associated with the request. The applicant is proposing to reduce the plat area and dedicate 10-feet of the future Tall Pine Boulevard collector street and provide the radial dedication at the intersection of Herndon Road and Tall Pine Boulevard. This property owner owns both sides of the future collector street right of way. Staff is supportive of the dedication as proposed. The request is approval of a one (1) lot plat to allow an existing single-family home to be located on a parcel larger than was purchased with the home originally. The current property owner purchased this property and a larger parcel under two (2) separate warranty deeds in 1996. The property proposed for the one (1) lot plat contained 0.430-acres and the remainder of the property contained 11.989-acres. The request is to allow a portion of the 11+ acre parcel to be included in the smaller parcel. The total lot area proposed for the new lot is one (1) acre. The plat indicates the placement of a 25-foot platted building line along Herndon Road and a 25-foot platted building line along the right of way (to be dedicated with the plat) of Tall Pine Boulevard. Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The applicant is seeking preliminary plat approval to allow a previously deeded parcel to increase from roughly one-half (1/2) acre to one (1) acre. The property is currently zoned R-2, Single-family and is served by Little Rock Reclamation Authority for sewer service and Central Arkansas Water for water service. To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff feels the platting as proposed is appropriate. 4 June 28, 2018 SUBDIVISION NO.: 3 (Cont.)
