(Generally located north of Chenal Parkway and west of St. Charles, on the Old Shackleford Dairy property.) (October 5, 1993.) Upon motion by Director Roy, seconded by Director Priest, which was unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, the Consent Agenda was dispensed with as follows: (a) The Minutes of the Board of Directors meeting held July 6, 1993, were approved as written and distributed to members of the Board of Directors; and (b, c, d, e, f, and g) Resolutions No. 9,002, 9003, 9004, 9005, and 9006 were adopted by unanimous voice vote of the Board Members present. At the time allotted for Citizen Communications, the first speaker was Mr. Jack Gilbert, 4400 Foster Avenue, who expressed his concern about death and crime among the youth in Little Rock, stating that the curfew across the river in North Little Rock has greatly reduced death and crime in that city. He concluded by urging the Board of Directors to establish a curfew in Little Rock. Responding to comments regarding funding, Mr. Gilbert stated funding is available through grants. (Note: Ordinance No. 16,219 passed May 19, 1992, provides for imposition of an emergency curfew for minors, upon declaration of the Mayor at the recommendation of the Chief of Police.) Mr. Sam Perroni, a resident of Beck Road in the County Farm area which is in area "P" of the proposed annexation to be submitted to the electorate at a special election set for November 16, 1993, addressed the Board of Directors on behalf of residents of the area that are opposed to the proposed annexation of area "P". (Note: Ordinance No. 16,482 passed September 7, 1993, called a special election for November 16, 1993 on the question of annexing 6.43 square miles (16 areas) to the City of Little Rock.) He stated that he and those opponents would have appeared before the Board of Directors sooner to express their opposition had they known of the proposed annexation. He read a resolution "To the Little Rock Board of Directors from Concerned Citizens of the County Farm Road Area" which requested the Board of Directors to remove County Farm Road Area P from the November 16, 1993 special election. The resolution stated the residents received no official notice from the City of plans to annex the area and that 97% of the residents strongly oppose annexation. The resolution contained 87 signatures. (The resolution was filed with the City Clerk.) Director Sharp questioned how the City could annex property without notifying residents of those areas. City Attorney Tom Carpenter stated that the Election Commission will send notices to all residents in the proposed areas to be annexed. The State Statute does not require notice by the City. City Manager Charles Nickerson asked Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of the Department of Neighborhoods and Planning, to make a staff presentation. Mr. Perroni objected to any recommendations made by Mr. Lawson, since he is a resident of the area. Director Sharp expressed anger that no one was notified of the proposed annexation. Other Directors also expressed concern that the process does not provide for notification of residents of areas proposed for annexation. Director Priest suggested the Board of Directors adopt a policy whereby citizens are notified well in advance of any issues that directly affect them. In 2 417 S • Minutes September 21, 1993 response to Director Sharp's question as to what can be done, City Attorney Tom Carpenter stated he would draft an Ordinance to repeal Ordinance No. 16,482 and have it ready for Board action at the reconvened meeting on Wednesday, September 29, 1993. Action should be taken then so the Pulaski County Election Commission can be notified before ballots are printed. Mr. Carpenter emphasized that if one area is removed from the proposed annexation, then all will have to be removed. Mr. Nickerson asked if the Board wanted to hear from Mr. Lawson regarding the process involved in the annexation proposal. Board Members agreed to hear the staff presentation after other opponents had spoken. Mr. Larry Gaines, 7529 Beck Road, spoke in opposition to the annexation and referred to a conversation he had with Mr. Jim Lawson. Mr. Michael Drake, a professional city planner who owns property in the area, said he also spoke with Mr. Lawson, and was told this is an urbanizing area. Mr. Drake said this is not an urban area, it is a very rural area and there is no logical reason for annexation. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, then made a presentation to the Board. (He had previously provided Board Members with a written report.) He referred to the 1982 annexation of 12 square miles with a population of 10,800 people, stating the City did not notify the residents of those areas and the same procedure was followed in this annexation proposal. In response to a question by Director Sharp, Mr. Lawson stated there are a total of 560 residents in the 16 areas proposed for annexation. Director Lewellen responded to Director Sharp's question as to why College Station was removed from the proposed annexation, stating that representatives of College Station contacted him and asked that College Station be removed because they have resources lined up to build a health care facility in the area and those resources would not be available if College Station was annexed. Director Sharp questioned how College Station residents knew about the annexation when the County Farm Road area residents did not. Mr. Nickerson responded that there was an article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette regarding the proposed annexation. An Ordinance to repeal Ordinance No. 16,482 will be considered at the Board of Directors reconvened meeting on Wednesday, September 29, 1993. At 8:05 o'clock P.M., Vice Mayor Mason declared a five minute recess. When the Board of Directors reconvened at 8:20 o'clock P.M., Vice Mayor Mason presided and the following Directors were present: Directors Priest, Roy, Sharp, Lewellen, and Adcock - total 5; Absent - Mayor Dailey - total 1. Consideration was then given to Ordinance No. 16,490, entitled: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING MODIFICATIONS TO A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PROVIDING FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF A PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TITLED SPRINGTREE VILLAGE AMENDED SHORT -FORM PRD (Z- 4969 -A) LOCATED AT 11701 AND 11711 SPRINGTREE DRIVE, AND FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF A PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TITLED SPRINGTREE VILLAGE LONG - FORM PRD (Z -4909) IN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 15,436 AND CHAPTER 36, SECTION 36 -176 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES; and the Ordinance was read the first time. Mr. Scot Goldsholl, attorney representing Worthen National Bank of Arkansas and Mr. & Mrs. Robert Purifoy (applicant), asked the Board of Directors to accept and endorse the recommendation of the Planning Commission for modification of the PRD. He stated the Purifoys built patio covers over two properties within the PRD and did not realize that violated the provisions of the PRD, so they are now requesting modification of the PRD after the fact to permit continued existence of the metal patio covers. In response to a question by Director Priest, Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of 3 Minutes September 21, 1993 419 Neighborhoods and Planning, stated that the request for fencing the back yards and the placing of a portable storage building at the rear lot line of 11701 Springtree Drive was dropped from the Planning Commission review. However, since then an agreement has been reached with Winrock Development Company, and staff is recommending another ordinance which would allow the area to be fenced and would also allow the storage building. City Attorney Tom Carpenter recommended amending the Ordinance to include provisions of the second Ordinance, since the proposal approved by the Planning Commission did not include the fencing and storage building. Mrs. Sue Purifoy addressed the Board, explaining the request to include the fence and storage building in the modification of the PRD. Director Adcock moved to amend the Ordinance to include Sections 1 and 2 of the second Ordinance, renumber them to Sections 3 and 4, and that Sections 4 and 5 of the Ordinance which has been read be renumbered to Sections 5 and 6, respectively, as recommended by City Attorney Tom Carpenter to provide for the patio covers, fences and storage building. The motion was seconded by Director Priest and unanimously adopted by the Board Members present. There was a motion by Director Roy, seconded by Director Priest, to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on second reading. The motion was adopted unanimously by the Board Members present, being six in number and two - thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors -elect and the Ordinance, as amended, was read the second time. There was a subsequent motion by Director Priest, seconded by Director Roy, to again suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on third and final reading. The motion was adopted unanimously by the Board Members present, being six in number and two - thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors - elect. The Ordinance, as amended, was then read the third and last time, followed by an Aye and No Vote taken on the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, with the results recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Sharp, Lewellen, Vice Mayor Mason, Directors Adcock, Priest and Roy - total 6; Noes - None; Absent - Mayor Dailey - total 1. Whereupon, the Ordinance, as amended, was declared PASSED.

Director Roy questioned the waiver provisions, stating the Ordinance doesn't look like it is written in accordance with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and Staff. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, stated the Ordinance is written to comply with the applicant's request and is not in line with staff recommendation; if the Board supports the Staff recommendation rather than the applicant's request, the Ordinance would need to be revised. Therefore, Mr. Lawson suggested the proposed Ordinance be left on the calendar for second reading at the reconvened meeting on Wednesday, September 29, 1993. There was a motion and second by Directors Roy and Adcock, respectively, to defer the Ordinance until Wednesday, September 29, 1993, and the motion was unanimously adopted.

Director Roy questioned the waiver provisions, stating the Ordinance doesn't look like it is written in accordance with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and Staff. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, stated the Ordinance is written to comply with the applicant's request and is not in line with staff recommendation; if the Board supports the Staff recommendation rather than the applicant's request, the Ordinance would need to be revised. Therefore, Mr. Lawson suggested the proposed Ordinance be left on the calendar for second reading at the reconvened meeting on Wednesday, September 29, 1993. Mr. Joe Burch, 4825 Stagecoach Road, who proposed to sell a 0.4 acre tract at the back of his property to his brother -in -law, Mr. J. D. Railey, for a future homesite on Susie Lane, said he is not willing to dedicate the 15' right -of -way on Stagecoach Road, as required by the City, without compensation, unless other property owners do so. There was a motion and second by Directors Roy and Adcock, respectively, to defer the Ordinance until Wednesday, September 29, 1993, and the motion was unanimously adopted.

Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Neighborhoods and Planning, stated the Ordinance is written to comply with the applicant's request and is not in line with staff recommendation; if the Board supports the Staff recommendation rather than the applicant's request, the Ordinance would need to be revised. Therefore, Mr. Lawson suggested the proposed Ordinance be left on the calendar for second reading at the reconvened meeting on Wednesday, September 29, 1993. Mr. Ben Kettler, Jr., design engineer and surveyor for Wilkerson Subdivision, asked the Board's consideration in waiving improvements along Wilkerson Drive and West Pratt Road, stating both are in rural settings, Wilkerson can't be extended because of its proximity to the South Loop Expressway, and West Pratt Road is 600' out of scale and cannot be extended without a tremendous amount of bridging over wet area or marsh land area. There was a motion and second by Directors Roy and Adcock, respectively, to defer the Ordinance until Wednesday, September 29, 1993, and the motion was unanimously adopted.
