Item No. 3 - Continued A. • EXISTING CONDITIONS This site is located outside of the city limits on what can be termed as gently rolling terrain. The area is rural with no sanitary sewer facilities available at this time. B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting that this site of 41.8 acres be developed into 10 lots ranging from two to five acres for residential use. Two variances are requested. (1) Curb and gutter during first phase. (2) Sidewalks during first phase. C. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS (a) Recommends acceptance of this plan without curb and gutter/sidewalks. (b) Arkansas Highway Department and County Planning have participated in this plan. Highway Department designed west intersection of Shinnal Mountain Road to le accommodate future plans of Shinnal Mountain Road becoming Highway 300. D. ANALYSIS This plans presents no major problem. Staff is basically in approval with the plan. The applicant, however, should provide clarification in regards to the areas on the plat designated for future development. Some type of staging proposal should be submitted in order that the entire tract may be comprehensively reviewed. Since sanitary sewer facilities are not currently available in this area, the applicant will be required to submit evidence from the State Health/Sanitation Service Department that the land is suitable for septic tank use. E. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval, subject to recommendations made by Staff and Engineering. Iter September 15, 1981 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 3 - Continued SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE ACTION: The Committee decided to approve the two requested variances, plus an additional request for deferral of the required written certification of approval from the Arkansas State Department of Health. A motion for approval, subject to the submission of a staging proposal was made and passed by a vote of 4 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Joe White, Engineer for the project, spoke in behalf of the applicant. There were no objectors. Staff reported that the county had submitted three suggestions in regard to this proposal: (1) The applicant should show centerline and dedication on Highway 10 so that there is 50' from the centerline. (2) Double frontage lots are needed on Shinnal Mountain Drive because of its status as a minor arterial. (3) There should be no direct access from Highway 10. The Commission had no objections to the first suggestion, but rejected two. As for number three, they decided to go along with the normal Subdivision Ordinance requirements of one curb cut within 100' of an intersection and one every 300' thereafter. A motion was made to approve this proposal as filed, subject to certification from the State Health/Sanitation Service Department that the land is suitable for septic tanks. The motion passed by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. SUBDIVISIONS Item No. C,.
