A. ROPOSAUREQUEST/APPLICANT'S STATEMENT:
The property owner requests to rezone the 0.51 acre property from R-2 to R-7A to
allow the placement of a single -wide manufactured home on the property.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:

FILE NO.: Z-10193
C. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTIFICATIONS:
All owners of property located within 300 feet of the site and all neighborhood
associations registered with the City of Little Rock were notified of the public
hearing.
D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS (PLANNING):
If the proposed change of occupancy will increase the impervious area the
applicant/owner will submit a permit for review.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS (PUBLIC WORKS):
1. Portions of the subject property are located within the 100 year floodplain and the
regulatory floodway. It is difficult to determine the parcel location and location of
the manufactured home on the parcel. Based on the property survey, prepare a
dimensioned site plan to show the manufactured home proposed location,
proposed finish floor elevation of the manufactured home, existing ground
elevation at manufactured home location, floodplain and floodway boundaries, and
the base flood elevation at the manufactured home location.
2. A special Grading Permit for Flood Hazard Areas will be required per Sec. 13-55
prior to construction.
3. The minimum Finish Floor elevation of at least 1 ft higher than the base flood
elevation is required to be shown on the site plan for the mobile home.
4. No development is permitted within the floodway. In accordance with Section 31-
176, floodway areas must be shown as floodway easements or be dedicated to
the public. In addition, a 25 foot wide drainage and access easement is required
adjacent to the floodway boundary.
5. Per Sec. 13-59(9) of Little Rock Municipal Code, all manufactured homes to be
placed within a special flood hazard area on a community's FIRM shall be installed
using methods and practices which minimize flood damage. For the purposes of
this requirement, manufactured homes must be elevated and anchored to resist
flotation, collapse, or lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include, but are
not limited to, use of over -the -top or frame ties to ground anchors. This requirement
is in addition to applicable state and local anchoring requirements for resisting wind
forces. Screw augers or expanding anchors will not satisfy the requirement of this
provision;
6. Per Sec. 13.59(10) of Little Rock Municipal Code, the design or location of
electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment for new
structures, or for any improvements to an existing structure, must prevent water
from entering or accumulating within the components during base flood events;
7. Per Sec. 13.59(11) of Little Rock Municipal Code, the design of all new and
replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate
infiltration of floodwaters into the system.

8. Per Sec. 13.59(12) of Little Rock Municipal Code, the design of new and
replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate
infiltration of floodwaters into the system and discharge from the systems into
floodwaters.
9. Per Sec. 13.60.c.1.(v) of the Little Rock Municipal Code, all machinery and
equipment shall be elevated to at least one (1) foot or more above the published
BFE and be securely anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement.
This elevation must be documented on an elevation certificate properly completed
by a professional engineer, surveyor or architect licensed to practice in the State
of Arkansas.
