Director Priest explained the program and its importance to the
children of Little Rock, stating this is a program to insure

and the Ordinance was read the first time. Support and
opposition was presented. The first speaker was Ms. Beverly
Hawley, 18,200 Cantrell, who spoke against the proposed Ordinance
and in support of the National Home Center PCD, and asked the
Board not to reject the National Home Center project, stating we
need to open our doors to them.
Mr. Barry Haas, 3900 Doral Drive, asked the Board to
reconsider the vote on National Home Center, stating "you have
broken faith with this community - you have in effect done a
zoning U- turn.11
Mr. David Jones, Vogel Realty, stated this is an interesting
precedent. Two weeks ago there was a very controversial rezoning
issue brought before the Board; one side won and one side lost;
the side that lost has come forth with an ordinance to repeal the
zoning ordinance that was fought and won two weeks ago. A law
suit has been filed and that is where this needs to be. Mr.
Jones concluded by saying is a good project and he hoped the
Board does what is right again.
Mr. Jim Brown, Jr. 8922 Fairhaven Road, spoke in opposition
to the National Home Center.
Betty Saugey, 20812 W. Pinnacle, spoke in support of
National Home Center and asked the Board not to rescind its vote.
Mrs. Ruth Bell, League of Women Voters, urged the Board to
rescind the vote on National Home Center.
Mr. Bob Callans, 10680 Bainbridge Drive, stated he was
against the National Home Center because it does not adhere to
the Land Use Plan adopted in 1986, and asked the Board to repeal
the rezoning decision.
Ms. Anne Johnston, 27 Harrow, encouraged the Board to
rescind the Home Center rezoning.
Mr. Dwain Newman, President and Founder of National Home
Centers, thanked the Board for its support. He stated that
National Home Center had met every issue. At his request, a
number of residents who lived near the site stood in support of
the project. Mr. Newman and Ms. Cher Hanson, designer, answered
questions by Board Members regarding the plans for National Home
Center. The project consists of 17.74 acres, with 3.29 acres in
landscaping, 5.8 acres in buildings, and the rest is inside the
courtyard and the required parking area. There will be
approximately 170,000 square feet in the main building. A 24 ft.
high wall will be around the project; there will be a U- shaped
courtyard with a 30 ft. set back.
Mr. Bill Spivey, Attorney for National Home Center, asked
the Board of Directors to stand by its decision on January 19,
1993, because this will be compatible with the Land Use Plan.
Mr. Gene Pfeifer asked the Board to reverse its decision on
the National Home Center rezoning and referred to a letter from
the president of Leisure Arts, who is highly displeased with the
integrity of the City over the issue of allowing a prefab
disposable metal building on land that is not properly zoned and
the effect on the value of his property.
City Attorney Tom Carpenter responded to questions from the
Board. There was a motion by Director Adcock, seconded by
Director Mason, to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on

Adcock and Roy - total 5; Noes - Directors Lewellen and Priest -

Director Priest made a statement before the final vote was
taken. In her comments, she stated this is a very disappointing
night for the citizens of Little Rock; they can no longer look to
this Board and understand there is integrity in City planning;
they can no longer look to this Board for proper use of Planned
Unit Developments; they can no longer look to the integrity of a
Land Use Plan as a guide because land use planning is being
contradicted without policy review. Mayor Dailey also made a
brief statement, saying the Board had given a clean, clear and
full airing to this issue.
After comments by other Board Members, and from Mr. Rodney
Posey, who read a statement on behalf of Maumelle Assembly of God
Church, which is immediately behind the proposed project and is

Department will establish a Southwest Substation Detective
Division and a new tactical squad beginning May 1, 1993, and the
pro -rated total for the 8 month period of 1993 would be

from reoccurring sources; $70,000 - animal control fee increases;
