Univ. P.O. Box C-50 Little Rock, AR 72207 Little Rock, AR 72203-0050 Phone: 663-6366 Phone: 376-3633 AREA: 64.2 acres NO. OF LOTS: 87 FT. NEW ST.: 7,240' ZONING: "PRD" to "R-2" PROPOSED USE: Single Family VARIANCES REQUESTED: Private Street System A. Site History A few years ago, the Commission zoned this site "PRD" for a condominium development. The applicant has since received several extensions of the approval. B. Existing Conditions This site is located in an area composed of single family residences. The land is vacant with portions lying in the floodway. C. Development Proposal This is a plan to subdivide 64.2 acres into 87 lots and 7,240' of new street. A private internal street system is planned for all lots, except 85, 86 and 87. These lots will be served from Hinson Road. A gate and guardhouse will be located at the entrance to the subdivision to limit access. The 200' wide floodway will be developed into a lake system. The lake will be excavated below the existing stream flow line, and the water surface will be near the elevation of the existing stream bed. The subdivision will be developed in four phases. September 10, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 3 - Continued D. Engineering Comments 1. All floodway revisions shall be in accordance with the City's Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance and FEMA requirements. Design shall be for 100-year fully developed upstream conditions. 12 Detention is required. 3. Hinson Road alignment shall be as previously agreed. See City Engineer for alignment. E. Analysis The plat should be revised to reflect appropriate building lines. A private street system is acceptable if a 45' public access easement is provided. The applicant has asked to move the phase line -between Lots 12, 13, 74 and 75 so that it will be moved out of the intersection. Also, please explain who will maintain the private drive stubs in Phase IV. The fronting of Lots 85-87 on an arterial street is acceptable in this instance, since the applicant has no choice. Evidence of the buildable nature of the lots should be submitted when the alignment of Hinson Road is worked out. Points of access should be restricted to two curb cuts on a common lot line. Finally, the applicant should make sure that the parcel near the southwest corner of the project is not landlocked. Building lines should be added. F. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The owner and his engineer were present. They explained that: (1) the land -locked parcel was owned by Deltic Timber and they had no desire for access; (2) a property owners association will be responsible for maintenance and the Bill of Assurance will set out provisions for use; and (3) a revised plan reflecting on -site fire lines and building lines would be submitted. September 10, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 3 - Continued Water Works - Fire hydrants must be located within 300' of the farthest building at the end of the cul-de-sac. Fire hydrant leads can be extended to accomplish this. Water main must be within the specified easement and fire hydrants must be within 9' of the curb line. Wastewater - This project will require a main extension. Also, the sewer main cannot be located under a dike or lake as shown on the site plan. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. A revised plan was submitted. During the agenda session, Mr. Joe White of Deltic Timber Company, an abutting property owner, submitted a letter in objection to the amount of the private street system proposed; however, he was not against the project. He was concerned that there were no through streets. A motion for approval was made and passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
