Signage is to be reviewed and permitted separately.
Submit one (1) copy of a current stamped and signed legal survey.
Additional screening shrubs will be required between the vehicular use area and the National Drive right-of-way. There
is approximately one hundred and thirty (130) linear feet of new drive adjacent to the right-of-way. Screening shrubs

Eighteen (18) needle point holly are shown in this area. Forty-three (43) shrubs will be required. Provide twenty-five (25)
additional shrubs.
Additional screening shrubs will be required between the vehicular use area and the 1-30 Service Road right-of-way.
There is approximately one hundred and ninety (190) linear feet of vehicular use area adjacent to the right-of-way.

Daniel,
I had a chance to look at your landscape plan this afternoon. It appears that the proposed main campus landscape
meets or exceeds the required minimums. The south parking area also looks good however there are a few items that
you may want to address. First you will need a few more shrubs at the parking entrance and on the north and south
perimeters. Second you may want to use some of the existing trees for credit. Below I have outlined where you can find
this specification in the city code and how this may be addressed.
Sec. 15-96. Perimeter planting strips.
(a) A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts adjoining property or the
right-of-way of any street.
(b) Trees shall be planted with an average linear spacing of not less than thirty (30) feet within the required
landscape or buffer area. Three (3) shrubs or vines for every thirty (30) linear feet shall be planted in the
perimeter planting strip.
(10) trees and (31) Shrubs will be required on each of the north and south perimeters of the south parking area.
(3) trees and (8) Shrubs will be required on the east perimeter of the south parking area.
Interior requirement is met.
Existing trees can be counted to satisfy the above requirement. Label existing trees as existing. Example "Existing 18"
Oak"
Credit for existing trees can be found in the Tree Credit Chart, Sec. 15-52. Preservation, protection and planting
An additional review will be conducted after this coming Monday's Board of Adjustment meeting and architectural
drawing submittal for permitting.
Let me know if you need anything else.

After a closer inspection of the plans you left with me last Monday I believe a further review may need to be conducted
by the City's Planning and Public Works Departments before considering a landscape variance from the City Beautiful
Commission. A few of the issues that will need to be resolved include the status of the building as freestanding or an
addition to be connected to the existing structure, the amount of parking located off site, and the locations and
dimensions of the new curb cuts / entry drive.
In the Planning Department You can contact:
Subdivision Administrator and Zoning Administrator
Donna James Monte Moore
(501) 371-6821 (501) 371-4792
To help determine specific requirements and if variances will need to be sought from the Planning Commission or Board
of Adjustment.
In the Public Works Department you can contact
Vince Floriani
(501) 371-4817
To determine any specific questions related to civil engineering.
Landscape:
As we discussed when this project reviewed for permitting there will be some basic items that I will look for that will
include but are not limited to the following.
• Site plan must comply with the City's minimal landscape and buffer ordinance requirements.
• One (1) tree and four (4) shrubs shall be planted in the building landscape areas for each forty (40) linear feet of
vehicular use area abutting the building.
• An irrigation system shall be required for developments of one (1) acre or larger. (Sec. 15-100). Provide note
that all landscape areas will be covered by an automatic irrigation system.
■ Shrubs shall have a minimum height of eighteen (18) inches at installation
• A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts adjoining property or the
right-of-way of any street, highway or freeway. This strip shall be at least nine (9) feet wide. One (1) tree and
three (3) shrubs or vines shall be planted for every thirty (30) linear feet.
■ Perimeter landscape will need to be placed inside property line on National Drive.
• Crape Myrtles will not be accepted as trees.
• One (1) tree shall be provided for each twelve (12) parking spaces in the interior of the parking area.
• Developments with fewer than one hundred fifty (150) parking spaces shall have: Single -trunk trees with a
minimum caliper of two (2) inches measured twelve (12) inches above grade at planting; or Multitrunk trees
with a minimum of three (3) canes with a minimum caliper of one (1) inch each measured twelve (12) inches
above grade at planting.
Dumpsters, loading docks, heating and air conditioning units, external storage of materials, shall be screened
from abutting properties and streets. The screen shall exceed the height of the dumpster or trash containment
areas by at least two (2) feet not to exceed eight (8) feet total height. Provide note dumpster will be screened as
per specification. In addition graphically show gate and provide appropriate text.
The City Beautiful Commission recommends preserving as many existing trees as feasible on this site. Credit
toward fulfilling Landscape Ordinance requirements can be given when preserving trees of six (6) inch caliper or
larger.
I hope this helps.

Mr. Hicks,
I am writing in response to your inquiry regarding our staff and student numbers. While these
numbers can vary, our current staff of teachers and administrators is 30 persons. We currently
have enrolled for this semester 200 students. With the new classroom addition we expect to
increase our staff to a total of 50 persons and we hope to increase our student enrollment to a
total of 300 students.
Please calculate our parking needs based on these numbers. If you have any more questions
please don't hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Kirk Wilson
