EXHIBIT C
BILL OF ASSURANCE
FOR THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
In order to attempt to obtain approval of my request for a zoning reclassification
of RI-U for the following property: 1893 N. Rupple Rd Fayetteville,
AR 72704. I, as the authorized agent for the owner or buyer of this property, _Erin
Conrad_ (hereinafter called "Petitioner') hereby voluntarily offers this Bill of
Assurance and enters into this binding agreement and contract with the City of
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The Petitioner expressly grants to the City of Fayetteville the right to enforce
any and all of the terms of this Bill of Assurance in the Circuit Court of Washington
County and agrees that if Petitioner or Petitioner's heirs, assigns, or successors
violate any term of this Bill of Assurance, substantial irreparable damage justifying
injunctive relief has been done to the citizens and City of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The
Petitioner acknowledges that the Fayetteville Planning Commission and the Fayetteville
City Council will reasonably rely upon all of the terms and conditions within this Bill of
Assurance in considering whether to approve Petitioner's rezoning request.
Petitioner hereby voluntarily offers assurances that Petitioner and Petitioner's
property shall be restricted as follows IF Petitioners requested rezoning is approved by
the Fayetteville City Council:
1. The area proposed to be rezoned to (requested rezoning) shall be limited to
the following Permitted Uses:
a. Single-family dwellings or two (2) family dwellings or accessory dwellings.
2. Other restrictions including height of, number, and type of structures upon
the property are limited to:
a. Total Units: The total unit count on the property shall not exceed 8 units,
including both new and existing structures.
b. Minimum Square Footage: Homes constructed on the property shall contain
a minimum of 1,600 square feet of heated floor space. Only the corner lot
may contain smaller square feet of heated floor space.
c. Garages: Each new dwelling shall include a garage, carport, or a
garage/carport hybrid accommodating at least two (2) vehicles.
d. Exterior Materials: The exterior of all structures shall be composed of no
less than 70% wood or concrete board siding, brick, stone, or other natural
materials. Vinyl siding is not permitted.
e. Garden Walls and Fences: All fencing shall be constructed of one of the
following materials: wrought iron, decorative metal, wood, brick, stucco, or
stone.
f. Yards/Landscaping: Front yards shall be landscaped within 90 days of a
certificate of occupancy being issued by the City of Fayetteville.
g. Access: All efforts will be made to minimize "curb cuts" into Starry Night by
File Number: 2025-00025269 Page 4 of 6
pursuing an easement to extend the existing alley and, failing that, leverage
shared access onto Starry Night where possible.
3. Specific activities that will not be allowed upon Petitioner's property include:
a. No mobile housing shall be placed on any lot.
4. Any other terms or conditions:
a. To address the concerns expressed by neighbors in the city council hearing,
the intent has been and continues to be to develop the property to match the
look and feel of existing homes on W Starry Night View. A unified community
appearance benefits both the existing home owners as well as our own
interests but until rezoning has been approved additional planning and
specific development choices are on hold in an effort to manage irrecoverable
costs. Many of these assurances are borrowed from Oakbrooke's own
covenants and the architectural intent is to match Oakbrooke's "traditional
Americana neighborhood with an emphasis on traditional american styling;
craftsman style bungalows, prairie, savannah, american tudor and american
italianate houses are preferred. Ranch, contemporary, modern, a -frame, log,
or gambrel style structures may be permitted" where design limitations exist.
Petitioner specifically agrees that all such restrictions and terms shall run with
the land and bind all future owners unless and until specifically released by
Resolution of the Fayetteville City Council. This Bill of Assurance shall be filed for
record in the Washington County Circuit Clerk's Office as part of the rezoning
ordinance. After Petitioners rezoning is effective, the Bill of Assurance shall be noted
on any Final Plat, Large Scale Development, or other development approval which
includes some or all of Petitioner's property affected by the rezoning.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF and in agreement with all the terms and conditions
stated above, I, _Erin Conrad as the authorized agent of
Petitioner voluntarily offer all such assurances and sign my name below.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2025-1503
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 2, 2025
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THRU: Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Jessica Masters, Planning Director
SUBJECT: RZN-2025-0026: Rezoning (1893 N. RUPPLE RD/CONRAD, 361): Submitted by CLINT
PENZO for property located at 1893 N. RUPPLE RD. in WARD 4. The property is
zoned RSF-1, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, ONE UNITS PER ACRE and contains
approximately 1.04 acres. The request is to rezone the property to RI-U,
RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE-URBAN subject to a bill of assurance.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of a request to rezone the subject
property as described and shown in the attached Exhibits ‘A’ and ‘B’, with a bill of assurance.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in west Fayetteville, at the intersection of W. Starry Night View and N. Rupple Road.
The property contains 1.04 acres which is currently zoned RSF-1, Residential Single-Family, 1 Unit per Acre. It
is currently developed with a 1,900-square foot house constructed in 1989. In November of 2024, a previous
request to rezone the property to RI-U, Residential Intermediate-Urban was denied by City Council on
November 12, 2024. More recently, a code complaint for the operation of a business in a residential zoning
district was also received by City staff in early August. The case is currently under investigation. A home-based
business license is currently issued at the property for junk removal (BLH-0279-2025).
Request: The request is to rezone the subject property from RSF-1, Residential Single-Family, One Unit per
Acre, to RI-U, Residential Intermediate-Urban. The applicant has also offered up a bill of assurance that limits
the uses to single- and two-family dwellings, overall density to a maximum of eight units, a minimum square
footage of 1,600-square feet of habitable space for each unit, architectural design standards that mimic the
adjacent development, and limited access onto W. Starry Night View.
Public Comment: Staff received public comment in opposition to this request. Concerns mostly centered
around limiting access onto Starry Night, whether or not connection could be made to an adjacent private alley,
overall density, and compatibility with the Oakbrooke Subdivision and its design standards.
Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the proposed rezoning from RSF-1 to RI-U to be compatible with the
surrounding area. The intent of the RI-U zoning district is to encourage development of attached and detached
dwellings to provide a range of housing types and meet the demands for walkable urban living. The subject
property is adjacent to single-family properties to the west and south and undeveloped property to the north.
Properties to the north and west are zoned RPZD (Oakbrooke), and the property to the south is zoned RSF-1.
While the immediate vicinity is currently developed with single-family dwellings, a rezoning to RI-U could allow
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
www.fayetteville-ar.gov
for higher density residential development consisting of single- to four-family dwellings. However, the applicant
has offered to self-limit the allowed uses in the district through a Bill of Assurance; staff finds that this is still
compatible with the surroundings, though initially did not have concerns about the full use schedule in RI-U.
The property itself is located on a corner with frontage to the east on a Regional Link Street (N. Rupple Rd.).
Rezoning to RI-U would reduce the bulk and area requirements from 150-foot wide lots with a 35,720-square
foot minimum area, to 18-foot-wide lots with no minimum area. Essential City services are available to the site,
and other public amenities are located nearby. Given the size of the site, proximity to public services and
amenities, and the availability of public right-of-way, staff finds the proposed rezoning to be appropriate. The
limitations placed on the property through a bill of assurance will more or less mimic the overall design and
scope of the adjacent Oakbrooke neighborhood, and staff acknowledges the developer’s commitment to
limiting the number of driveways along W. Starry Night as promoting a safer walking environment and safer
vehicle access to the property.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the City’s adopted land use
plans. The proposed zoning complements the property’s Future Land Use Map designation as Residential
Neighborhood Area given the allowance for a variety of housing types of appropriate scale and context. A
rezoning to RI-U would meet several goals of City Plan 2040 by encouraging appropriate infill development
(Goals 1, 2, and 6). The property is also within a Tier 2 Center, located at the intersection of N. Rupple Rd. and
W. Mount Comfort Rd., approximately 0.33 miles to the north. A rezoning to RI-U is appropriate as it would
align with the Tier 2 center designation by providing a mix of residential dwelling types. By still allowing two-
family dwellings by-right, staff finds this is still in line with these future goals. That said, preference would
typically be for an applicant to submit a zoning request without offering a bill of assurance, but staff finds that
the applicant’s submittal would ensure immediate compatibility with the surroundings and places a higher level
of design scrutiny on single-family dwellings, which would otherwise be limited by Arkansas State Law.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 6 for this site. The
following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 7, 835 N. Rupple Rd.)
• Near Water Main (eight-inch line, W. Starry Night View; 12-inch line N. Rupple Rd.)
• Near Sewer Main (85 feet west along W. Starry Night View)
• Near City Park (Bryce Davis Park; Red Oak Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Rupple Side Path Trail)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (The Links)
DISCUSSION:
Due to the previous rezoning request's denial occurring within 12 months, the Planning Commission's first
determination at their August 11, 2025 meeting was to reconsider the item. This was done with a unanimous
vote. A second motion, after hearing discussion from the property owner and members of the public, forwarded
the request to City Council with a recommendation of approval (8-1-0, with Commissioner Payne opposed).
Members of the public, including the developer of the Oakbrooke Subdivision, spoke at the meeting, with
concerns as listed above. Commissioners found that the Bill of Assurance addressed those concerns, though
did ask whether other zoning districts were considered so that a Bill of Assurance was not necessary. A
representative of the property owner suggested that the zoning district was chosen for the lot width standards,
and the Bill of Assurance allowed for additional design standards to be considered and applied.

Updated with results
Public Comment: Members of the public from the surrounding neighborhood met with City staff to
discuss concerns about access onto W. Starry Night View, proposed future access through a
private alley, the quality of future construction, and density.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Streets: The subject area has street frontage along N. Rupple Road, which is a partially
improved Regional Link Street with asphalt paving, open ditches and a multi-
purpose trail. The subject area has street frontage along W. Starry Night View
which is a partially improved Residential Link Street with asphalt paving, open
ditches and curb and gutter. Any street improvements required in these areas
would be determined at the time of the development proposal. Any additional
improvements or requirements for drainage will be determined at time of
development.
Water: Public water is available to the subject area. An existing 6-inch water main is
present along W. Starry Night View. An existing 12-inch water main is present
along N. Rupple Road.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer is not available to the subject area. There are known wet weather
sewer capacity issues identified in the City’s 2021 Sewer Master Plan that appear
in the system approximately 1,250 linear feet downstream of this property.
Drainage: No portion of the subject property lies within the Hillside-Hilltop Overlay District or
a FEMA floodplain. Additionally, no protected streams are present, nor are there
hydric soils on the property. Any additional improvements or requirements for
drainage will be determined at time of development.
Fire: Fire apparatus access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for
compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Station 7, located at 835 N. Rupple Rd., protects this site. The property is located
approximately 1 mile from the fire station with an anticipated drive time of
approximately 3 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 5.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated
based on the drive time plus 1 minute for dispatch and 1.2 minutes for turn-out
time. Within the City Limits, the Fayetteville Fire Department has a response time
goal of 6 minutes for an engine and 8 minutes for a ladder truck.
Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request.
Tree Preservation:
The proposed zoning district of RI-U, Residential Intermediate-Urban requires 15%
minimum canopy preservation. The current zoning district of RSF-1, Residential
Single-Family, One Unit per Acre requires 25% minimum canopy preservation.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: The City Plan 2040 Future Land Use Plan
designates the property within the proposed rezone as Residential Neighborhood.
Residential Neighborhood areas are primarily residential in nature and support a wide variety
of housing types of appropriate scale and context. Residential Neighborhood encourages highly
connected, compact blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced building setbacks. It also
Planning Commission
August 11, 2025
(Conrad)
Page 2 of 27
encourages traditional neighborhood development that incorporates low-intensity non-residential
uses intended to serve the surrounding neighborhoods. This designation recognizes the existing
conventional subdivision developments that may have large blocks with conventional setbacks
and development patterns that respond to features of the natural environment.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040’s Infill Matrix indicates a score of 6 for this site
with a weighted score of 6.5. The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Adequate Fire Response (Station 7, 835 N. Rupple Rd.)
• Near Water Main (eight-inch line, W. Starry Night View; 12-inch line N. Rupple Rd.)
• Near Sewer Main (85 feet west along W. Starry Night View)
• Near City Park (Bryce Davis Park; Red Oak Park)
• Near Paved Trail (Rupple Side Path Trail)
• Near Razorback Bus Stop (The Links)
FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
1. A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use
planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans.
Finding: Land Use Compatibility: Staff finds the proposed rezoning from RSF-1 to RI-
U to be compatible with the surrounding area. The intent of the RI-U zoning
district is to encourage development of attached and detached dwellings to
provide a range of housing types and meet the demands for walkable urban
living. The subject property is adjacent to single-family properties to the
west and south and undeveloped property to the north. Properties to the
north and west are zoned RPZD (Oakbrooke), and the property to the south
is zoned RSF-1. While the immediate vicinity is currently developed with
single-family dwellings, a rezoning to RI -U could allow for higher density
residential development consisting of single- to four-family dwellings.
However, the applicant has offered to self-limit the allowed uses in the
district through a Bill of Assurance; staff finds that this is still compatible
with the surroundings, though initially did not have concerns about the full
use schedule in RI-U. The property itself is located on a corner with
frontage on a Regional Link Street (N. Rupple Rd.). Rezoning to RI -U would
reduce the bulk and area requirements from 150 -feet-wide lots with a
35,720-square-foot minimum area, to 18-foot-wide lots with no minimum
area. Essential City services are available to the site, and other public
amenities are located nearby. Given the size of the site, proximity to public
services and amenities, and the availability of public right -of-way, staff
finds the proposed rezoning to be appropriate. The limitations placed on
the property through a Bill of Assurance will more or less m imic the overall
design and scope of the adjacent Oak brooke neighborhood, and staff
appreciates the developer’s commitment to limiting the number of
driveways along W. Starry Night to promote walkability.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent
with the City’s adopted land use plans. The proposed zoning complements
the property’s Future Land Use Map designation as Residential
Neighborhood area since it would support a variety of housing types of
Planning Commission
August 11, 2025
(Conrad)
Page 3 of 27
appropriate scale and context. A rezoning to RI-U would meet several goals
of City Plan 2040 by encouraging appropriate infill development (Goals 1, 2,
and 6). The property is also within a Tier 2 Center, located at the intersection
of N. Rupple Rd. and W. Mount Comfort Rd., approximately 0.33 miles to the
north. A rezoning to RI-U is appropriate as it would align with the Tier 2
center designation by providing a mix of residential dwelling types. By still
allowing two-family dwellings by-right, staff finds this is still in line with
these future goals. That said, preference would typically be for an applicant
to submit a zoning request without offering a Bill of Assurance, but staff
finds that the applicant’s submittal would ensure immediate compatibility
with the surroundings and places a higher level of design scrutiny on single-
family dwellings, which would otherwise be limited by Arkansas State Law.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds that rezoning the subject property from RSF-1 to RI-U is justified
since the RSF-1 zoning is no longer compatible with the surrounding land
uses. Staff also finds the rezoning to RI-U to be better aligned with existing
zoning and development patterns in the area and consistent with the city’s
future land use plans.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: A rezoning from RSF-1 to RI-U has the potential to increase traffic at this
location when considering that RI-U would allow for development that is
greater in density and intensity than the existing RSF-1 zoning.
Nevertheless, staff finds that the proposed rezoning is not likely to create or
appreciably increase traffic danger or congestion at this location. The
property has frontage along a partially improved Residential Link Street and
Regional Link Street, and any street improvements required in the area
would be determined at the time of development review.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and
thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: The proposed rezoning has the potential to alter the population density since
it would allow for increased residential development. However, the property
currently has access to public streets and water. There are known wet
weather sewer capacity issues identified in the City’s 2021 Sewer Master
Plan that appear in the system approximately 1500 linear feet downstream of
this property, and any necessary upgrades or improvements to existing
infrastructure would be determined at the time of development. Fayetteville
Public Schools did not comment on this request.
5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of
considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed
zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as:

a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted
under its existing zoning classifications;
b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even
though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the
proposed zoning is not desirable.

Re: Rezoning Request for 1893 N. Rupple Rd – RI-U with Bill of Assurance
Dear Planning Staff and Honorable Members of the City Council,
I am writing to formally request the rezoning of the property located at 1893 N. Rupple Rd,
Fayetteville, AR 72704 from RSF-1 to RI-U. This request is accompanied by a Bill of
Assurance that places clear and enforceable restrictions on the development to ensure it is
consistent with the surrounding area and addresses concerns raised during the prior
rezoning application that was denied.
The primary reason we are requesting RI-U zoning is due to lot width requirements. Our
proposed development requires lot widths that are approximately 37 feet, which closely
matches the adjacent properties to the West on W Starry Night View. However, alternative
zoning classiflcations such as RSF-8 and RSF-12, which were previously suggested by
Council members, both require a minimum lot width of 50 feet, making them unworkable
for our intended site layout.
This proposed rezoning will not unreasonably adversely affect or confiict with surrounding
land uses. In fact, it is designed to complement the character and scale of the adjacent
Oakbrooke neighborhood. The property is located in a transitional area where slightly
increased density is appropriate and already present nearby. The homes we intend to build
will maintain a residential appearance and be consistent with existing architectural styles.
To further ensure compatibility, we have included a Bill of Assurance that limits
development on the property to:
• No more than eight total units,
• A minimum of 1,600 square feet of heated living space per home (except one corner
lot),
Planning Commission
August 11, 2025
(Conrad)
Page 12 of 27
• Inclusion of garages or carports for all new dwellings,
• High-quality exteriors using natural materials (no vinyl siding),
• Landscaped yards and attractive fencing in line with the surrounding area,
• A commitment to unifled architectural design that mirrors the traditional styles
found in Oakbrooke (such as craftsman, prairie, or Tudor),
• Minimized curb cuts and thoughtful access planning to reduce traffic impacts on
Starry Night View.
We believe this rezoning request is both reasonable and responsible. It aligns with
Fayetteville’s goals for smart growth, encourages inflll development, and preserves
neighborhood character while offering a small increase in housing opportunity.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We would be happy to discuss this request
further and look forward to working with you throughout the review process.
Sincerely,
Erin Conrad

BILL OF ASSURANCE
FOR THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
In order to attempt to obtain approval of my request for a zoning reclassification
of RI-U for the following property: 1893 N. Rupple Rd Fayetteville,
AR 72704, I, as the authorized agent for the owner or buyer of this property, __Clint
Penzo___ (hereinafter called “Petitioner”) hereby voluntarily offers this Bill of Assurance
and enters into this binding agreement and contract with the City of Fayetteville,
Arkansas.
The Petitioner expressly grants to the City of Fayetteville the right to enforce
any and all of the terms of this Bill of Assurance in the Circuit Court of Washington
County and agrees that if Petitioner or Petitioner’s heirs, assigns, or successors violate
any term of this Bill of Assurance, substantial irreparable damage justifying injunctive
relief has been done to the citizens and City of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Petitioner
acknowledges that the Fayetteville Planning Commission and the Fayetteville City
Council will reasonably rely upon all of the terms and conditions within this Bill of
Assurance in considering whether to approve Petitioner’s rezoning request.
Petitioner hereby voluntarily offers assurances that Petitioner and Petitioner’s
property shall be restricted as follows IF Petitioner’s requested rezoning is approved by
the Fayetteville City Council:
1. The area proposed to be rezoned to (requested rezoning) shall be limited to
the following Permitted Uses:
a. Single-family dwellings or two (2) family dwellings or accessory dwellings.
2. Other restrictions including height of, number, and type of structures upon
the property are limited to:
a. Total Units: The total unit count on the property shall not exceed 8 units,
including both new and existing structures.
b. Minimum Square Footage: Homes constructed on the property shall contain
a minimum of 1,600 square feet of heated floor space. Only the corner lot
may contain smaller square feet of heated floor space.
c. Garages: Each new dwelling shall include a garage, carport, or a
garage/carport hybrid accommodating at least two (2) vehicles.
d. Exterior Materials: The exterior of all structures shall be composed of no
less than 70% wood or concrete board siding, brick, stone, or other natural
materials. Vinyl siding is not permitted.
e. Garden Walls and Fences: All fencing shall be constructed of one of the
following materials: wrought iron, decorative metal, wood, brick, stucco, or
stone.
f. Yards/Landscaping: Front yards shall be landscaped within 90 days of a
certificate of occupancy being issued by the City of Fayetteville.
Planning Commission
August 11, 2025
(Conrad)
Page 14 of 27
g. Access: All efforts will be made to minimize “curb cuts” into Starry Night by
pursuing an easement to extend the existing alley and, failing that, leverage
shared access onto Starry Night where possible.
3. Specific activities that will not be allowed upon Petitioner’s property include:
a. No mobile housing shall be placed on any lot.
4. Any other terms or conditions:
a. To address the concerns expressed by neighbors in the city council hearing,
the intent has been and continues to be to develop the property to match the
look and feel of existing homes on W Starry Night View. A unified community
appearance benefits both the existing home owners as well as our own
interests but until rezoning has been approved additional planning and
specific development choices are on hold in an effort to manage irrecoverable
costs. Many of these assurances are borrowed from Oakbrooke’s own
covenants and the architectural intent is to match Oakbrooke’s “traditional
Americana neighborhood with an emphasis on traditional american styling;
craftsman style bungalows, prairie, savannah, american tudor and american
italianate houses are preferred. Ranch, contemporary, modern, a-frame, log,
or gambrel style structures may be permitted” where design limitations exist.
Petitioner specifically agrees that all such restrictions and terms shall run with
the land and bind all future owners unless and until specifically released by
Resolution of the Fayetteville City Council. This Bill of Assurance shall be filed for
record in the Washington County Circuit Clerk’s Office as part of the rezoning ordinance.
After Petitioner’s rezoning is effective, the Bill of Assurance shall be noted on any Final
Plat, Large Scale Development, or other development approval which includes some or
all of Petitioner’s property affected by the rezoning.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF and in agreement with all the terms and conditions
stated above, I, ____Clint Penzo_________________, as the authorized agent of Petitioner
voluntarily offer all such assurances and sign my name below.

RE: 1893 N Rupple.
I have spoken with Penzo, the person apparently governing this property at this time, a few
times about the Starry Night on-street parking which is dangerous. There are construction
and delivery vehicles going through there all day long and someone’s car is going to get
damaged, or worse. Then, they also park facing against traffic flow/direction, which
confuses drivers, especially at night. I also thought I recall the city passing an ordinance
prohibiting the overnight parking of commercial vehicles/trailers on city streets. Maybe it
doesn’t apply to this. All of this while they have a very long drive and parking pads they
aren’t even utilizing.
I have also mentioned to Penzo about the condition of the property as they appear to be
running a commercial trash/dump trailer business. The number of trucks parked in the yard
with the trash trailers is growing as well. This is screenshot from earlier this year. You can
see by the attached pics, business appears to be picking up.

This is not the appropriate setting for such an enterprise. I am pretty sure the property isn’t
zoned for it as well.
Neither the on-street parking nor the commercial venture, especially one of this nature is
appropriate for this area.
Speaking on behalf of several Oakbrooke residents, and speaking on my own behalf, we’d
sure appreciate it if the city would look into this and do what they can address this issue
and to ensure it doesn’t continue into the future.
Thanks so much!

Jessie,
I have started a code case for (1893 N RUPPLE RD FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72704). The complaint
is “It appears that Fresh Start Junk Removal https://fsjunkremoval.com/ is running their
business illegally on a residential lot and building. Their business license BLH-0279-2025 is
listed as a Home Based Consultant at 1893 N RUPPLE RD. However, it appears that all their
heavy equipment used for their business is parked and operated their too. 1893 N RUPPLE
RD is zoned RSF-1 Residential Single-Family.” I have an inspection scheduled for tomorrow

to take photographs of the property. They do a have active license BLH-0279-2025 • Fresh
Start Junk Removal LLC (1893 N RUPPLE RD FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72704). I wanted to give a
heads up since they do have a RZN in review.
