Mr. Gentry, would you please forward to all directors not shown in the address line.... 'A, Mayor, Mr Carney & all City of Little Rock Directors: I have been told that a vote WILL be taken tonight and it will be final. I am appealing to you one more time to PLEASE listen to the citizens who live around this intersection. We are very concerned for the safety of ourselves and others, especially young people who will frequent a drive-thru McDonald's because of all the schools around us. You know one of the main concerns we have is the high potential for loss of more lives, along with even more traffic accidents, if this is approved. And now we are finding out that we may face the same issue with another fast food restaurant at Saddle Creek at the Ranch development by Ed Willis. This just can't be allowed to continue! Lack of planning for traffic entering and leaving businesses with so many cutouts and not enough traffic lights is just a combination for a bad storm - a traffic storm. This is just one of many concerns we have about a drive-thru restaurant of any kind at the intersection of Chenonceau & Cantrell/Hwy 10. PLEASE listen to the people who live in this area and who try to navigate the obstacle course we already have in safely moving in and out of our neighborhoods and PLEASE vote NO to the proposed McDonald's on Cantrell and Chenonceau tonight. PLEASE do the right thing, according to the DOD and begin drawing the line in the sand that says NO MORE. Again, thank you for your time and efforts on behalf of the great City of Little Rock and its citizens. It is usually a thankless job you do on our behalf. Sincerely, Janet & Phil Bartos 75 Chevaux Circle Little Rock, AR 72223 501.868.8969 3/31/2009 Dana Carney Zoning & Subdivision Manager Planning & Development Department 723 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 Re: Proposed Drive -Through Restaurant at Chenonceau and Cantrell Roads Dear Mr. Carney, This is to make you aware of our objection to the proposed development referenced above. There are the usual reasons why we don't want a drive -through restaurant at this particular location to include excessive lights and noise almost around the clock, and trash along the roadway. However, our biggest concern is the safety issue due to increased drive -through traffic. We attended the Planning Commission's meeting on August 7t` where the Commissioners voted to allow a variance requested because the development is too big for the lot size. The Commissioners' decision was based at least in part on their staff s traffic analysis. However, it was not at all clear to us that an adequate traffic analysis had been conducted. There was no document introduced or specifics offered by the staff representative at the meeting to support the existence of an analysis. There was, however, research offered up by concerned citizens in attendance that clearly pointed to serious problems in this area. We are convinced that we already have an unacceptable traffic safety problem. The addition of this drive -through traffic will turn an already scary situation for us, and our neighbors in Chevaux Court, into a nightmare. The DOD, prepared for the specific purpose of providing minimum guidelines for the ongoing growth and development along the Highway 10 corridor, should be followed. Serious consideration should be given to a proposed business's adverse impact on traffic in the area. Clearly, a drive -through type restaurant is not appropriate for this particular lot. Please give our concerns serious consideration when this proposal comes before the Board of Directors on December 16t'. Thank you, Dan Holland & Debol Walz 87 Chevaux Court Little Rock, AR 72223 501.868.5509 Page 1 of 1 Carney, Dana From: Patrick Woodruff [patrickwoodruff@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 12:03 PM To: Carney, Dana Subject: Dana Carney I support a NO vote on the variance for the proposed McDonalds location at Hiway 10 and Chenenceau Blvd. Thank you for your consideration.

It has come to our attention that the Burger King at 14,910 Cantrell Road is open until midnight. We would like to exclude the Burger King at this location for our reference to "other restaurant" as it relates to any future expansion of the hours of operation. To be perfectly clear, when the McDonalds opens it will be with the following hours: Lobby: 5 am until 11 p.m. 7 days a week. Drive Thru: 5 am until 10 pm 7 days a week. I would also like to clarify that the McDonalds will open and operate with both order boards in operation. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Accordingly, I am recommending to McDonalds that they engage Peters Traffic Engineers to review the current plan and make an recommendations they feel are necessary. This cannot be accomplished before the January Board Meeting. Additionally, Karen and I are traveling until February 13. We would respectively request that you ask the Board to defer our hearing until the February 17th meeting. Thank you in advance for your consideration JOHN FLAKE 12/30/2008 The property located at the northwest corner of ranch Boulevard and Cantrell Road was rezoned from C-3 general commercial to PCD , Planned Commercial Development, through the adoption of Ordinance No. 19, 507 on March 21, 2006. The property was rezoned to PCD since the proposed site contains 1.55 acres, less than the 2 acres required under the Highway 10 Design Overlay District. Approval was granted for development of the site with either a 7,300 square foot restaurant or a 10, 000 square foot retail building. Other than the lot size, the proposed development complied fully with the standards of the Overlay; including building setbacks and landscaping. In response to a request from the Board, staff has the following additional information on the proposed Chenonceau Commercial Lots 1 and 2 Short -form PCD; site of the proposed McDonalds restaurant. Signage will comply with the Highway 10 Design Overlay District. The existing sign on Highway 10 will be removed. The existing sign on Chenonceau will be moved off of Lot 1 and to the south side of the driveway, placing the sign on Lot 2. A single ground - mounted sign will be placed on the Cantrell Road frontage. The sign will be a commercial development sign not to exceed 10 feet in height and 100 square feet in area. The applicant has presented a representation on the proposed building design. The building will have an exterior finish of brick or stone and E.I.F.S. The building design must also be approved by the Chenal Architectural Review Committee to assure that the design is appropriate for Chenal. The proposed dumpster is to be located generally south of the building. The dumpster enclosure will be deigned to match the material of the building. The dumpster enclosure is located approximately 70 feet off of the Chenonceau property line. The property has a platted 50-foot setback on the Chenonceau side. The code for commercially zoned districts requires that dumpsters not be located in the front yard or street side yard setbacks. As proposed, the dumpster is not located within the setbacks and complies with the code requirement for dumpster placement and screening. The areas set aside for landscaping on the proposed plan comply with the standards established by the Overlay. The Overlay requires a minimum of a 40 foot landscaped front yard along Highway 10. The Code specifies that the landscape area shall contain organic and/or combined man-made/organic features as berms, brick walls and dense plantings such that vehicular use areas are screened when viewed from an elevation of forty-two (42) inches above the elevation of the adjacent street. The applicants have stated plantings will be installed to comply with this requirement. The proposed hours of 5:00 a.m. — 2:00 a. in., seven (7) days a week have not changed. The staff of the Traffic Engineer's office has conducted field studies to determine the traffic volumes and drive-thru performance s of the McDonalds restaurants at Rodney Parham Road and Breckenridge Drive and Broadway Street and 7th Street. The proposed McDonalds is approximately 3,900 square feet in area. Based on the trip generation data form the other two locations, staff feels the proposed new restaurant may be expected to generate close to 150 vehicles (entering only) during the AM peak hour. The single -lane drive-thru as designed can accommodate 12 cars. Based on the data collected at the other two locations, a drive-thru volume of 120-40 vehicles may be expected during the AM peak hour. If the drive-thru volume exceeds 132 vehicles per hour on any day, the available stack room in a single -lane drive-thru is not adequate to store the extra vehicles. The vehicle queue will extend onto the main drive, thus blocking traffic. A copy of the complete study from the City's Traffic Engineer is attached for your information. The applicant has indicated a willingness to modify the driveways to create dual stacking lanes by removing the parking located directly adjacent to the building, if it found that stacking in a single -lane drive-thru causes vehicles to back onto the main drive. Fig 3 & 4: Drive-thru Queuing at McDonalds on Broadway Traffic Engineering staff visited a new McDonalds location in Bryant and confirmed that the average time taken to serve one drive-thm vehicle is about 30 seconds. Based on these findings, a restaurant can process about 120 cars per hour in the drive-thru lane. Any cars in excess of this number will have to be accommodated in the drive-thru lane. Proposed McDonalds at Hwy. 10 and Chenonceau The proposed McDonalds at Hwy. 10 and Chenonceau is about 3900 sq. ft. in floor area. Based on the trip generation data from the other two locations, the proposed restaurant maybe expected to generate close to 150 vehicles (Entering only) during the AM peak hour. The single -lane drive-thru as designed can accommodate 12 cars. Based on the data collected at the other two locations, a drive-thru volume of about 120 to 140 vehicles may be expected during the AM peak hour. If the drive-thru volume exceeds 132 vehicles per hour on any day, the available stack room is not adequate to store the extra vehicles. The vehicle queue will extend onto the main drive thus blocking the traffic.

Bill Henry observed drive-thru traffic at the Breckenrdige McDonalds again this morning to determine the total capacity of the drive-thru lane. He saw that the drive-thru was able to serve 115 vehicles in one -hour (or about 1 vehicle every 31 seconds). I have added this information to the report as Bill suggested. -Nat 12/23/2008 McDonalds Drive-Thru Operation Study On Tuesday Dec. 2nd. and Wednesday Dec. P, 2008, Traffic Engineering staff conducted a AM Peak -hour trip generation study for the drive-thru lane of McDonalds at Rodney Parham /Breckenridge. and 7`h/Broadway McDonals at Breckeridge/Rodney Parham. The floor area is about 4200 sq. ft. The drive-thru has two lanes for placing orders and one shared lane to the pick-up window. The total length is about 300 ft. + a second lane of about 75 ft. The results of the study were as follows: Total traffic (Entering) (between 7:00 and 8:00 AM) :......... 154 vehicles Drive-thru volume: 115 vehicles Longest queue: 19 vehicles Observed Drive thru capacity: 115 vehicles/hour (based on non-stop activity) Average time taken to process one vehicle: — 31 seconds Fig. I: McDonalds Layout at Breckenridge McDonalds at 7thBroadway: The floor area is about 4500 sq. ft. The drive-thru is a single lane that goes around the building and is about 250 ft. long. The results of the study were as follows: Total Traffic: (Entering) (between 7:00 AM and 8: AM) :............ 142 vehicles Customers who parked:... .............. less than 15 Peak activity : 7:20 AM and 7:35 AM ( Staff noted that the drive-thru traffic backed up to Broadway twice and blocked traffic on Broadway. The back-up lasted 5 minutes at one time and 2 minutes the second time. Photographs attached) Longest queue: Queue extended to travel lane on Broadway (see pictures) Fig. 2: McDonalds Layout on Broadway Fig 3 & 4: Drive-thru Queuing at McDonalds on Broadway Proposed McDonalds at Hwy. 10 and Chenonceau The proposed McDonalds at Hwy. 10 and Chenonceau is about 3900 sq. ft. in floor area. Based on the trip generation data from the other two locations, the proposed restaurant may be expected to generate close to 150 vehicles (Entering) during the AM peak hour. The ITE Trip Generation estimates show a slightly less entering volume of 106 vehicles. The drive-thru for this location is about 300 ft. long. Based on the drive-thru queuing seen at the McDonalds on Broadway, it is possible that the queues during the AM peak hour may be long enough to block traffic on the access easement which in turn may block traffic on Hwy. 10. The drive-thru layout may have to be reversed or modified in some way so as to allow more double -lane stacking room for drive-thru vehicles. Also, the drive-thru lane should be redesigned to not trap the customers in the drive-thru lane. Staff noticed that several customers at the Breckenridge location left without ordering when the wait time became too long.

The ITE Trip Generation estimates show a slightly less entering volume of 106 vehicles. Since the observed traffic was mostly drive-thru (90% or more), long queues should be expected in the mornings. The drive-thru for this location is about 300 ft. long. Based on the drive-thru queuing seen at the McDonalds on Broadway, it is possible that the queues during the AM peak hour may be long enough to block traffic on the access easement and also on Cantrell.

"McDonald's is not here to cause problems." Residents were relieved that the rezoning request failed. Along with Keck, City Directors Ken Richardson, Brad Cazort, Doris Wright and Gene Fortson voted against rezoning the prop- erty from general commercial to Planned commercial. City Direc- tors Joan Adcock, Erma Hendrix and B.J. Wyrick voted in favor of the rezoning, which was needed because the lot size didn't meet the design overlay district require- ment. "It's a business and the area is cut out for that." Hendrix said after the meeting. "No one com- plains about how the McDonald's traffic backs up on Broadway in downtown." Peter Roy, McDonald's' region- al real estate manager, said after the vote that the company didn't have any specific plans for any alternative locations. 2 LR law targets mobile BY KRISTIN NETTERSTROM ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT -GAZETTE Little Rock has razed hundreds of older, unsafe houses in the past decade to combat blight, but now the capital city has turned its at- tention to unsafe manufactured homes. City directors unanimously ap- proved an ordinance Tuesday that gives Little Rock the authority to deem a manufactured or mobile home a nuisance. Starting today, code enforcement officers can issue citations for violations and reautre� nrty nmNllFmc k- L:. -4 - City directors reject plan for west LR McDonald's RV VDTQ-rT,�,T ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT -GAZETTE West Little Rock residents han- kering for an Egg McMuffin will have to continue driving several miles east for the breakfast sand- wich after city directors on Tues- day rejected a proposed Cantrell Road location for a McDonald's restaurant. Eight months after planning commissioners originally ap- proved the proposed Chenon- ceau Boulevard and Arkansas 10 location, city directors listened to more than an hour ofpublic com- ment on the proposed fast-food restaurant. City Hall was packed with resi- dents from surrounding neighbor- hoods who opposed the McDon- ald's because of the traffic hazard they believed it would create, and because it violated Little Rock's design overlay district standards. The 1.45-acre lot falls below the two -acre minimum threshold the city established in its Arkansas 10 standards, although in the past the city has approved numerous de- velopments that ran afoul of the 19-year-old rules. In an attempt to appease resi- dents and city directors, McDon- ald's corporate representatives said they would lirnit the restau- rant's hours, build a double drive - through and leave trees on the site intact, The lot is larger than the average McDonald's site, repre- sentatives said, and the restaurant would create about 70 jobs an $244,004 in sales tax For city co. fern. The proposed restaurant als met all other design standards. But none of that was enough t sway all eight city directors Ares ent. Directors voted 5-3 against th Project Two board members were absent. "I think as the area continue to develop and were there to b a McDonald's in this location, think this would be the busies McDonald's in the state," said Di- rector Michael Keck, who repre- sents Ward 5 where the restaurant wanted to build. Keck said he couldn't get over the potential impact a restaurant with a drive -through could have on the traffic flow and safety in the area, where the speed limit is 54 miles per hour on Arkansas 10. More than 18,000 vehicles pass the location every day and residents as well as city officials expect the number to increase in the next few years as development continues west. McDonald's wanted to build at the location to catch morn- ing traffic heading east. Drivers have to travel roughly eight miles east beyond the proposed site to reach a McDonald's with a drive - through. One of Little Rock's eight overlay districts, the Arkansas 14 district was created to protect the highway as a scenic corridor and Several southwest Little Rock residents spoke in favor of the new maintenance regulations because it would help their neighborhoods, but mobile home park owners and managers and the director of the Arkansas Manufactured Home As- sociation opposed the ordinance. "I don't see apples to apples here," said J:D. Harper, the associ- ation's director, who said he only learned of the proposed ordinance - Tuesday afternoon. The new code appears to go beyond what the city requires of "I'm not sure you can find a stronger statement," CityAttorney Tom Carpenter said about the let- ter in response to Harpers legality concern. Andre Bernard, Little Rock's director of Housing and Neigh- borhood Programs, said the city tried to be consistent with regula- tions imposed on other types of dwellings. One southwest Little Rock mo- bile home park manager said the new law would duplicate existing code.,; hint m. + i. --_. _ i Meeting announcements published e. - sively on Arkansas Online, the newspaper's Web site, can be found at http://www2.arkansasonline.com/tools/ meetings/ An etechonic loan is 8"ifable on the Web site - la submit s,.pporl group meeting announce- ments or changes.

No for a McDonald's in west prompts suit Property owners who planned to redevelop their west. Little Rock land for a McDonald's have sued the city over the city Board of Di- rectors' March3l decision to deny the rezoning request. - [brion Capital Partners LLC, 'Karen Flake and Delta Trust & Bank filed the appeal in Circuit Court on April24 against the city, but City Attorney Tom Carpenter said Thursday that city officials have yet to be served. City directors rejected a rezon- ing request for a corner lot at the southeast intersection of Cantrell Road and Chenonceau Boule- vard..The property is zoned for commercial use but because the property didn't meet.an acreage requirement of the Arkansas 10 design overlay district plan, prop- erty owners needed. a planned, commercial development zoning designation. The overlay plan requires 2 ..acres - •acres- per building, or.4 acres in this instance. One building already sat on'the 3.19-acre lot. Planning commissioners approved the re- zoning request'lastyear and the city's planning staff also sup- ported it. Residents from surrounding neighborhoods packed city board meetings to oppose the request out of concerns about increased traffic in the area, where vehicles go 50 `miles' per hour, and about building on a lot that didn't meet size requirements. McDonald's representatives at the time said they would limit the restaurant's hours, build a double drive -through and leave trees on the site intact. The lot, they said, was. larger than the average Mc-' Donald's site. City directors voted 5-3 against the rezoning request. The.lawsuit calls the decision arbitrary and unreasonable, and' "reverse spot zoning' because the city approved similar lot -size variances for other properties in the overlay district.
