Warrick, AICP, Zoning and Development Administrator Date: April 01, 2004 Subject: Residential Planned Zoning District for Stonewood Gardens (R-PZD 04-04.00) RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends approval of an ordinance creating a Residential Planned Zoning District (R-PZD) for Stonewood Gardens. This action will establish a unique zoning district and approve a preliminary plat for development of a 3.36 acre tract consisting of 12 single-family dwellings located on Crossover Road, immediately north of Stonewood Subdivision. The proposal is for a single-family residential subdivision, accessed by way of a private street from Crossover Road. Twelve dwelling units are proposed to be constructed, utilizing small lots and zero lot lines in many cases. All residents are required to utilize vehicular access by way of a rear alley, thereby promoting a more appealing front entry to the neighborhood. The applicant is proposing a perimeter fence of wrought iron and brick in the rear and a 6-foot brick wall, similar to that of the adjoining Stonewood Subdivision, along the front. A controlled access gate is also proposed, with appropriate measures required to ensure 24-hour access by emergency and essential vehicles to serve the residents. The total density proposes is 3.4 dwelling units per acre, which is compatible with nearby development. The Planning Commission voted 9-0-0 in favor of this request on Monday, March 22, 2004. Approval of a planned zoning district requires City Council approval as it includes zoning (land use) as well as development approval (preliminary plat). A final plat is required to be processed to legally record the lots and covenants for the subdivision. Recommended conditions included in the attached staff report were approved by the Planning Commission.

The property is zoned R-O, Residential Office and contains approximately 3.36 acres. The request is to rezone the property to an R-PZD to allow the development of 14 lots with 12 single-family dwelling units proposed. Planner: Jeremy Pate Findings: Proposal: The applicant requests a rezoning and preliminary plat approval for a residential development within an R-PZD zoning district. The proposed use of the site is for 12 single- family residential dwelling units, accessed from Crossover Road by way of a private drive. Twelve dwelling units on the 3.36-acre site are proposed, therefore the proposed density for the R-PZD is 3.4 DU/acre: The project site is currently zoned R-O, Residential -Office. The vacant site is located in north Fayetteville, east of Lake Fayetteville, near the intersection of Crossover Road and Albright Road. Immediate surrounding properties are primarily single family residential (including Stonewood Subdivision) and agricultural in nature, including the nearby future Botanic Gardens. Proposed Development: R-PZD, Residential Planned Zoning District Land Use Lots 1-12 Single Family Residential Lot 13 Detention Pond Lot 14 Common Area, Private Street, drive, utilities Access: The development is proposed to have one point of vehicular access, from Crossover Road. The applicant proposes a private street (Stonewood Court) that utilizes a controlled access point (privacy gate for the subdivision). The remainder of the subdivision is proposed to be within the perimeter of a wrought iron and brick fence in the rear and a 6-foot brick wall along the front, similar to that of Stonewood Subdivision to the south. A six-foot public sidewalk is to be constructed along Crossover for the length of the property. The applicant is requesting to not K.

These walls tend to provide a buffer for residents from the traffic along Hwy 265. * Staff finds vehicular connectivity to be unnecessary with the proposed development, as surrounding land use is already established and nearby existing streets (Hwy 265, Albright Rd.) provide adequate access. Staff is recommending a sidewalk connection be made along the private street, to connect to the required sidewalk along Crossover Roadfor pedestrian connectivity.

Planned Zoning Districts (PZD). (B) Development standards, conditions and review guidelines (1) Generally. The Planning Commission shall consider a proposed PZD in light of the purpose and intent as set forth in Chapter 161 Zoning Regulations, and the development standards and review guidelines set forth herein. Primary emphasis shall be placed upon achieving compatibility between the proposed development and surrounding areas so as to preserve and enhance the neighborhood. Proper planning shall involve a consideration of tree preservation, water conservation, preservation of natural site amenities, and the protection of watercourses from erosion and siltation. The Planning Commission shall determine that specific development features, including project density, building locations, common usable open space, the vehicular circulation system, parking areas, screening and landscaping, and perimeter treatment shall be combined in such a way as to further the health, safety, amenity and welfare of the community. To these ends, all applications filed pursuant to this ordinance shall be reviewed in accordance with the same general review guidelines as those utilized for zoning and subdivision applications. FINDING: The subject property is adjacent to property zoned R-O to the south, R-A to the west and RSF-4 to the north and east. Surrounding land use consists of single family dwellings (Stonebridge Subdivision to the south) and the planned Botanic Gardens along Lake Fayetteville across Crossover Road to the west. The subject property is currently zoned R-O, Residential Office consisting of 3.36 acres with 12 single-family lots proposed for an overall density of 3.4 units per acre. This density and land use is compatible with surrounding areas, thereby preserving and enhancing the neighborhood. The development proposes to utilize rear access for all of the dwelling units, reducing curb cuts along the primary street. Open space and tree preservation areas have been located at the perimeter of the development, providing a natural screen. Additionally, a perimeter wall is proposed surrounding the subdivision, with a controlled -access gate. (2) Screening and landscaping. In order to enhance the integrity and attractiveness of the development, and when deemed necessary to protect adjacent properties, the Planning Commission shall require landscaping and screening as part of a PZD. The screening and landscaping shall be provided as set forth in § 166.09 Buffer Strips and Screening. As part of the development plan, a detailed screening and landscaping plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commission. Landscape plans shall show the general location, type and quality (size and age) of plant material. Screening plans shall include typical details of fences, berms and plant material to be used. FINDING: The site has 9.1% canopy coverage with 6.6% preserved canopy proposed. A mitigation plan has been approved by the Landscape Administrator, for 15 trees to be planted on -site. The applicant has proposed erecting a brick masonry wall along Crossover Road to be used as a screen between the street and the proposed development. The wall is proposed to extend along the sides of the property, where it will change to a wrought -iron K:IReports120041PC Reports103-22-041R-PZD 04-04.00 (Sronewocd Gardens).do and brick column fence. Walls along Crossover Road are consistent with the other residential subdivisions in the area. (3) Traffic circulation. The following traffic circulation guidelines shall apply: (a) The adequacy of both the internal and external street systems shall be reviewed in light of the projected future traffic volumes. (b) The traffic circulation system shall be comprised of a hierarchal scheme of local collector and arterial streets, each designed to accommodate its proper function and in appropriate relationship with one another. (c) Design of the internal street circulation system must be sensitive to such considerations as safety, convenience, separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, general attractiveness, access to dwelling units and the proper relationship of different land uses. (d) Internal collector streets shall be coordinated with the existing external street system, providing for the efficient flow of traffic into and out of the planned zoning development. (e) Internal local streets shall be designed to discourage through traffic within the planned zoning development and to adjacent areas. (f) Design provisions for ingress and egress for any site along with service drives and interior circulation shall be that required by Chapter 166 Development of this code. FINDING: The applicant proposed to utilize a controlled access gate from Crossover Road, allowing access to Stonewood Court, a private drive. However, all garages are limited to access from the rear alley/drive, allowing parking along the street for visitors. Connectivity to other properties is not proposed, for adequate streets are existing in the area or surrounding property has already developed, not allowing for connectivity. Pedestrian access is provided with a six foot sidewalk along Crossover Road for the length of the property. The developer proposes not to construct sidewalks within the development along the private street, citing use of the street and the low density of the proposed development, along with lack of through traffic, as reasons for not constructing a sidewalk. Staff is recommending a four -foot sidewalk be placed along the private drive, to provide pedestrian circulation and a functional landing should the homes be built close to the street with stoops (reference the developer's intent to provide a "New Urbanism" development, with zero -lot line development) or otherwise. The turn -around at the end of Stonewood Court is sufficient for fire access. Details of the access into the development for emergency vehicles, solid waste, delivery, etc. shall be reviewed and approved by the appropriate City divisions prior to issuance of building K. 1ReporuLMO41PC Reporu103-22-041R-PZU 04-04.00 (Sronewood Gardew).do permits. (4) Parking standards. The off-street parking and loading standards found in Chapter 172 Parking and Loading shall apply to the specific gross usable or leasable floor areas of the respective use areas. FINDING: Each lot shall be for single family use and provide the required two off-street parking spaces per unit. (5) Perimeter treatment. Notwithstanding any other provisions of a planned zoning district, all uses of land or structures shall meet the open space, buffer or green strip provisions of this chapter of this code. FINDING: The land use meets all the requirements for open space, buffer or green strip provisions of the chapter in the code. (6) Sidewalks. As required by §166.03. FINDING: Sidewalk construction shall be in accordance with current standards to include a six foot sidewalk located at the edge of the right-of-way along Crossover Road. Staff recommends a four foot sidewalk along the proposed private drive within the development. (7) Street Lights. As required by § 166.03. FINDING: Street lights shall be provided along Crossover Road and within the development with spacing not to exceed 300 feet. (8) Water. As required by § 166.03. FINDING: Water shall be extended to serve the subject property. (9) Sewer. As required by § 166.03. FINDING: Sewer shall be extended to serve the subject property. (10) Streets and Drainage.

FINDING: The applicant is proposing a private street to serve the development, in accordance with the standards noted herein. The applicant has submitted covenants that allocate the responsibility of maintaining the private drives to the POA. To reduce the number of curb cuts and effect of numerous garage doors facing onto the street, the development requires all homes to utilize rear vehicular access/garages. (11) Construction of nonresidential facilities. Prior to issuance of more than eight building permits for any residential PZD, all approved nonresidential facilities shall be constructed. In the event the developer proposed to develop the PZD in phases, and the nonresidential facilities are not proposed in the initial phase, the developer shall enter into a contract with the City to guarantee completion of the nonresidential facilities.

If the construction and provision of all common open spaces and public and recreational facilities which are shown on the final plan are proceeding at a substantially slower rate than other project components. Planning staff shall report the status of each ongoing PZD at the first regular meeting of each quarter, so that _the Planning Commission is able to compare the actual development accomplished with the approved development schedule. If the Planning Commission finds that the rate of construction of dwelling units or other commercial or industrial structures is substantially greater than the rate at which common open spaces and public recreational facilities have been constructed and provided, then the Planning Commission may initiate revocation action or cease to approve any additional final plans if preceding phases have not been finalized. The city may also issue a stop work order, or discontinue issuance of building or occupancy permits, or revoke those previously issued. (2) Procedures. Prior to a recommendation of revocation, notice by certified mail shall be sent to the landowner or authorized agent giving notice of the alleged default, setting a time to appear before the Planning Commission to show cause why steps should not be made to totally or partially revoke the PZD.

Providing for flexibility in the distribution of land uses, in the density of development and in other matters typically regulated in zoning districts. (2) Compatibility. Providing for compatibility with the surrounding land uses. (3) Harmony. Providing for an orderly and creative arrangement of land uses that are harmonious and beneficial to the community. (4) Variety. Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or commercial or industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration of economic and redevelopment opportunities. (5) No negative impact. Does not have a negative effect upon the future development of the area; (6) Coordination. Permit coordination and planning of the land surrounding the PZD and cooperation between the city and private developers in the urbanization of new lands and in the renewal of existing deteriorating areas. (7) Open space. Provision of more usable and suitably located open space, recreation areas and other common facilities that would not otherwise be required under conventional land development regulations. (8) Natural features. Maximum enhancement and minimal disruption of existing natural features and amenities. (9) General Plan. Comprehensive and innovative planning and design of mixed use yet harmonious developments consistent with the guiding policies of the General Plan. (10) Special Features. Better utilization of sites characterized by special features of geographic location, topography, size or shape. FINDING: The proposed R-PZD of 14 lots is located on property identified for residential use on the Future Land Use Plan. The proposed density and land use is similar to adjacent property and will not negatively impact surrounding properties. The proposal is unique in that the homes will be built close to one another, on lots that are smaller than those allowed within a typical zoning district. Additionally, the developer proposes a "New Urbanist" KAReports120041PC Reports103d1-041R-PZD 04-04.00 (Slonewood Gardens).doc theme, with rear loaded garages and homes to be built close to one another (minimum of 10 feet apart). The subdivision will utilize a controlled access gate, limiting through traffic. Most common space is located along the perimeter of the site, creating a buffer, along with the proposed wall/fence. The proposal meets the following Residential Guiding Policies in the General Plan 2020: 9.8.a Utilize principles of traditional residential urban design to create compatible, livable, and accessible neighborhoods. 9.8.c Minimize through traffic on minor residential streets. 9.8.f Site new residential areas accessible to roadways, alternative transportation modes, community amenities, infrastructure, and retail and commercial goods and services. (B) Rezoning. Property may be rezoned to the Planned Zoning District by the City Council in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and Chapter 166, Development. Each rezoning parcel shall be described as a separate district, with distinct boundaries and specific design and development standards. Each district shall be assigned a project number or label, along with the designation "PZD". The rezoning shall include the adoption of a specific master development plan and development standards. FINDING: Staff has reviewed the proposed development with regard to findings necessary for rezoning requests. An ordinance is required to be drafted in order to create this Planned Zoning District which will incorporate all conditions placed on the project by the Planning Commission. Covenants provided by the developer will be included in the R- PZD ordinance, and will be filed of record with the Final Plat. The proposed PZD will be forwarded to the City Council, should the Planning Commission vote in favor of approval. (C) R - PZD, Residential Planned Zoning District. (1) Purpose and intent. The R-PZD is intended to accommodate mixed -use or clustered residential developments and to accommodate single -use residential developments that are determined to be more appropriate for a PZD application than a general residential rezone. The legislative purposes, intent, and application of this district include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) To encourage a variety and flexibility in land development and land use for predominately residential areas, consistent with the city's General Plan and the orderly development of the city. (b) To provide a framework within which an effective relationship of different land uses and activities within a single development, or when considered with abutting parcels of land, can be planned on a total basis. (c) To provide a harmonious relationship with the surrounding development, minimizing such influences as land use incompatibilities, heavy traffic and congestion, and excessive demands on planned and existing public facilities. K: IReporis120041PC Reporrs103-22-041R-PZD 04-04.00 (Sroneivood Gardem).doc Ll (d) To provide a means of developing areas with special physical features to enhance natural beauty and other attributes. (e) To encourage the efficient use of those public facilities required in connection with new residential development. FINDING: The proposed residential planned zoning district allows single-family use which is compatible with surrounding property. A general rezoning would not allow the type of development the applicant is pursuing, based on the bulk and area requirements of typical single-family zoning districts, therefore a Planned Zoning District is appropriate for the proposed development. The proposed subdivision allows for a density and land use that is compatible with adjacent properties, yet also allows for a flexible site plan and layout. (2) Permitted uses.

LAND USE PLAN: General Plan 2020 designates this site Residential. Rezoning this property to R-PZD 04-04.00 is consistent with the land use plan and compatible with surrounding land uses in the area. 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: The proposed rezoning of the existing Residential -Office (R-O) property to the proposed development with residential single-family use with a density of 3.4 units per acre is consistent with the General Plan 2020 that identifies this area for residential use. Single-family use with this density is compatible with existing and planned surrounding single-family residential development. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The proposed zoning is needed in order to develop a single-family subdivision in the manner proposed with the R-PZD site plan. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The proposed zoning will not create or appreciably increase traffic danger or congestion for Crossover Road, a principal arterial street. 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: A population increase of 12 units on 3.36 acres, a total density of 3.4 dwelling units per acre, is proposed. This increase is not an appreciable increase in population. Fire - Water supply with fire hydrants is needed to serve development on this site. Fire station #4 (Plainview) will serve this site once it is constructed. Response time will be approximate 5 minutes 18 seconds (3.7 miles). Police - Projects existing in this area already receive police services. The same level of service will be provided to this site as is currently applied to the existing city subdivisions to the north and the west. No additional equipment or personnel is needed to provide service K:IReports120041PC Reports103-22-041R-PZD 04-04.00 (Stomwood Gardem).doc E to this area. It is the opinion of the Fayetteville Police Department that this Planned Zoning District will not substantially alter the population density and thereby undesirably increase the load on police services or create and appreciable increase in traffic danger and congestion in the area. Engineering — The proposed subdivision has been reviewed for access to public utilities, including water and sewer, and will not undesirably increase the load on public services. 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.

Several significant trees exist on this site and should be preserved. Groupings of oak, elm and pine are among the significant species desirable for preservation, while several medium age cedars and walnut trees are also candidates for preservation. Whether the design incorpDlates the required Tree Preservation Priorities. Yes, all significant trees with one exception have been preserved. Groupings of trees within this site have also been placed in protection. The extent to which the area would be subject to environmental degradation due to removal of the tree or group of trees. Minimal environmental degradation would occur within this area due to the proposed removal of trees associated with this project. The impact of the reduction in tree cover on adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood and the property on which the tree or group of trees is located. The site is thinly canopied overall. Less than one-third of existing tree canopy will be removed. With the preservation of both significant trees and groupings of trees, the impact to the surrounding neighborhood will be minimal. Whether alternative construction methods have been proposed to reduce the impact of development on existing trees. No, alternative construction methods are unnecessary on this particular subdivision. Whether the size or shape of the lot reduces the flexibility of the design. This lot tapers along a slight northern slope from a broad to narrow width. This shape does reduce flexibility toward protecting large groupings of trees within the site. The general health and condition of the tree or group of trees, or the presence of any disease, injury or hazard All trees designated for preservation are in good condition with low indications of defects or disease. The placement of the tree or group of trees in relation to utilities, structures, and use of the property. Utilities have been routed in a manner to avoid any unnecessary removal of trees. A perimeter wall around the site will need to be repositioned along the northwest corner in order to avoid encroachment into the root zones of two significant trees. The need to remove the tree or group of trees for the purpose of installing, repairing, replacing, or maintaining essential public utilities. , Minimal removal of trees should occur due to any installation of essential utilities Whether roads and utilities are designed in relation to the existing topography, and routed, where possible, to avoid damage to existing canopy. Neither roads nor utilities have been routed in relation to existing topography; however they have been routed where possible to avoid damage to existing canopy. Construction requirements for On -Site and Off -Site Alternatives. None The effects ofproposed On -Site Mitigation or Off -Site Alternatives. On -site mitigation will have a positive effect to increase canopy and buffer adjacent properties from any concerns construction on this site may have. The effect other chapters *e UDO, and departmental regulations�fave on the development design. N/A The extent to which development of the site and the enforcement of this chapter are impacted by state and federal regulations: N/A The impact a substantial modification or rejection of the application would have on the Applicant Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this projects Tree Preservation Plan Mitigation Method Approved: On -site mitigation for this site is recommended Conditions of Approval: 1. A mitigation planting plan shall be submitted before final plat that includes a binding three year maintenance and monitoring plan. This plan shall include an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $4,125.00 for the planting of 15 mitigation trees.

City of Fayetteville March 15, 2004 113 West Mountain Dr. Attn: Jeremy Pate Fayetteville, AR 72701 RE: R-PZD 04-04.00 Stonewood Gardens Dear Mr. Pate, We have revised the Planned Zoning Development plans and protective covenants per the Conditions of Approval dated March 11, 2004. Revised plans are attached, for consideration at the March 22, 2004 Planning Commission meeting. The following is offered in response to your comments: We will be working with the utility companies to gain their approval of the new easement configuration. As stated at the Subdivision Committee meeting, the easement on Lot 14 was revised to enhance tree preservation. We are still working out the details of access for emergency, mail service, and trash collection vehicles. A Knox box will be provided at the gate, and will contain either a key or the access code engraved on a metal tag. Thg use of a community mailboxjust outside the gate is being discussed, as is the idea of leaving the gate open on trash days to provide access for the truck. Visitors will be able to utilize a call box at the gate to contact residents and request entry. We have verified our calculations with Mr. Carnegey, calling for provision of 15 mitigation trees. The covenants provide for formation of a Property Owners' Association, and language has been added regarding their responsibility for the mitigation trees. The covenants have been modified to more clearly spell out the POA's responsibilities with regard to maintenance of detention, common open space, fences, entry features, private drives and landscape islands. In addition, we have modified the documents to reflect these items which were discussed at the Subdivision Committee meeting: • We have added five-foot side setbacks to the common lot lines of lots 2 through 14. These setbacks will provide for a minimum often feet of building separation, while maintaining flexibility in placing homes on these lots. • STRUCTURAL DESIGN • LAND DEVELOPMENT • WATER SYSTEMS • WASTEWATER SYSTEMS • LAND SURVEYING The language from the private street maintenance section of the code has been added to the covenants. Section 1 of the covenants already spells out maintenance responsibilities per City regulations. A turnaround has been added at the gate. Should a community mailbox be utilized in lieu of individual home mailboxes, this area will serve as a parking space for the mail truck. We continue to work with the City staff on the configuration of the utility easement and front wall of the development. The wall was conceived in this configuration so that it would present -a curved architectural element to the street. Straightening the wall, and moving it out of the utility easement, will cause the wall to have a more massive, box -like appearance, which we are trying to avoid. In addition, placement of the wall on the property line, outside the front utility easement, would require relocation of the sidewalk along Crossover Road, which would in turn require the removal of several large trees in the right-of-way. Reconfiguration of the easement to follow the curves of the wall is undesirable, as it would place portions of the easement beneath the private drive, and would require that the water and sewer lines within the easement be installed with a number of bends to keep the lines near the center of the easement. The "wall' in this case could possibly be more accurately described as a masonry -panel fence. The columns, spaced at approximate 12-foot intervals, will have foundations. The panels between the columns are formed by brickwork, and do not bear on the ground. The covenants call for the POA to maintain and repair the fence and wall. Given these conditions, I believe it would be acceptable to place the wall in the position shown. This would present the best appearance to the outside; and, should the wall be damaged by utility repairs and/or installation, the POA would be responsible to restore it. We request further discussion on this item as needed to reach a resolution. Eleven copies of the revised plan, and one copy of the revised covenants, are attached for your use. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please feel free to call me at 442- 9127, or fax at 582-4807. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, David A Gilbert, P.E.

Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 RE: Stonewood Gardens Planned Zoning District For Mark Foster DAVID L. JORGENSEN, P.E., P.L.S. CHRISTOPHER B. BRACKETT. P.E. December 19, 2003 The developer requests rezoning of this tract of land from R-O to R-PZD. The developer's intent, as shown from the attached documents, is to create a unique residential enclave on the eastern side of Fayetteville. By clustering of residential units, the developer intends to create a private, gated, community, emphasizing the New Urbanist style of close neighbors and shared common spaces. The community will consist of 2,500 square foot homes, closely grouped near the center of the property. The outlying areas will be preserved as open common area, minimizing lawn maintenance for the homeowners, while providing large open spaces for the use of the community. This, in turn, will encourage interaction between the neighbors as the common spaces are used in daily recreation and relaxation. Furthermore, the configuration of the buildings and facilities will provide for preservation of most of the magnificent trees which currently exist on the site. The resulting neighborhood will be a cohesive unit, tied together not only by the common area, but also by distinctive site features and amenities. Special street lighting and mailboxes, along with wrought -iron fencing and special pavement treatments, will provide a unified, upscale sense of place for this development. A fountain floating in the pond at the northern end of the neighborhood will provide additional atmosphere. Protective covenants will be put in place to protect the quality of life in the district. In granting approval of this Residential Planned Zoning District, you will enable the -developer to create a neighborhood with a unique sense of closeness and unity, which would be difficult to obtain under conventional zoning procedures. Planned Zoning District approval for the property will permit the following: • Flexibility: in allowing for reduced setbacks, permitting closer grouping of the homes and therefore increasing the available common area. Compatibility: as the surrounding area is developing from farmland and large, estate -style home tracts to more conventional single-family dwellings. This district, with its grouping of homes and large common area, would reflect a middle ground between the estate and conventional single family lot structure. R EO1\!ED DEC 3 1 2003 PLANNING Diva • STRUCTURAL DESIGN • LAND DEVELOPMENT • WATER SYSTEMS • WASTEWATER SYSTEMS • LAND SURVEYING • • Harmony, Variety, Coordination, and "No negative impact": by introducing New Urbanist -style elements into the structure of Fayetteville, as the City looks toward broader implementation of this style of planning, in a setting where surrounding land uses are highly compatible. Not only will this development fit in well with its surroundings, but it will also serve as an example for future, more modern developments. • Open Space: will be larger and more effectively used by the residents of the community due to closer grouping of the dwellings. • Natural Features: will be better preserved; specifically the large trees which are scattered throughout the site; as the development has been planned around these trees and the covenants will include provisions for their preservation and protection. We believe this development is consistent with the city's general plan, and beneficial to orderly development of the City, while at the same time containing elements which will serve to bolster the neighborhood feel of the development and serve as an example of successful implementation of new techniques which will enhance the City as we move into the 21" Century.

CHRISTOPHER B. BRACKE7T, P.E. City of Fayetteville March 2, 2004 113 West Mountain Dr. Attn: Jeremy Pate Fayetteville, AR 72701 RE: R-PZD 04-04.00 Stonewood Gardens Dear Mr. Pate, We have revised the large-scale development plans per your review comments dated January 9, 2004. Revised plans are attached, for consideration at the March 111 2004 Subdivision Committee meeting. The following is offered in response to your comments: Item 1. Submittal Requirements • The purpose of the PZD is to establish a development of single-family homes. As the home plans have not yet been developed, unfortunately no building elevations are available. • Overall development standards have been addressed in the covenants previously submitted. Condition 3 of the covenant establishes floor area, requires garages in the rear of the homes, prohibits carports, and sets requirements for driveway materials. Condition 5 addresses additions to the homes. Condition 6 addresses storage buildings. Condition 8 addresses sidewalks. Condition 9 addresses satellite dishes, Condition 12 addresses fencing. Condition 14 addresses signage. Condition 16 addresses landscaping, deferring development of landscaping plans until home plans are developed, so that the landscaping will fit both the development and the individual home. Condition 18 addresses facing of the homes. Condition 23 addresses roof slope and material. Condition 24 addresses the individual mailboxes. Should you wish to add specific additional requirements to the ones already listed above, please let me know what those requirements should address, and I will discuss them with the owner. Item 2. Zoning Requirements • Condition 25 of the Covenants establishes a Property Owners' Association for the development. REU F, n -... .j?, • STRUCTURAL DESIGN LAND DEVELOPMENT WATER SYSTEMS WASTEWATER SYSTEMS • LAND SURVEYING Item 3. Plat Requirements Adjacent zoning has been updated to reflect the current map. Easements have been identified on the plat. Due to the current conflict between tree preservation and utility easements within the City, we have eliminated the blanket easement on Lot 14 and substituted specific easements designed to avoid the existing trees. These easements are somewhat convoluted, and may be hard to distinguish on the drawings. At the appropriate time, an easement plat will be prepared which will give a clearer view of the utility easements. The notes have been revised to reflect the specific use units allowed as part of this district. • Lot 13 has been labeled as "detention'. • Condition 25 of the Covenants is worded to protect the trees on individual lots from removal before, during, or after home construction. The lots have been configured,to yield a buildable homesite while protecting the existing trees. The private driveway around the rear of the lots will be constructed very close to the existing grade throughout its length, and was configured to minimize removal of existing trees. The owner's intent and desire is to develop a small neighborhood where the front elevations of the homes are not dominated by a garage door or a driveway. We believe the rear drive is the best way to accomplish these objectives. Item 4. Street Requirements A six-foot sidewalk has been added along Crossover Road. The sidewalk's path has been deviated to better accommodate preservation of trees on the right-of-way. Street lights have been added along Crossover Road, as requested. While we understand that the City discourages gated, perimeter -walled communities in general, we do know that they are approved from time to time. We believe that this development is appropriate in this location, due to its distance from the city center, the rural nature of the surrounding land, and its specific location relative to the existing home to the east. Connectivity is neither practical nor necessary, given the configuration of surrounding properties, the proximity of Albright Road immediately to the north, and the small size of this development. Stonewood subdivision, immediately southeast of this project, has a perimeter wall of the same type to be used on this project. The perimeter wall, along with the gate at the entrance, will serve as isolation mechanisms to protect this residential subdivision from the traffic on Crossover Road, and will deter travelers on Crossover from mistaking Stonewood Court for a through street. Item 5. Parking and Driveway Requirements A note has been added to the plan specifying a maximum driveway width of 24 feet, measured at the property line. All driveways shall access the rear private drive. Driveway cuts onto Stonewood Court or Crossover Road shall not b _permitted,. _ _ . While we understand the City's desire to place sidewalks along every public and private street within the City limits, we believe that sidewalks along Stonewood Court, in this setting, are neither necessary nor desirable. Stonewood Court will be a small, private cul- de-sac, serving only twelve lots. Regular driveway access to these lots will be by means of the rear private drive. Residents will rarely use Stonewood Court beyond its intersection with the private drive. Visitors can be expected to be limited in number, especially given the gated nature of the neighborhood. Thus, traffic volumes on Stonewood Court will be extremely low, and pedestrians will be safe to walk on the private street. The construction of additional impervious area in the development, and the restriction construction of sidewalks would place on home construction, lead us to believe that the sidewalks would be a detriment rather than an enhancement to this community, and we ask for approval of the project without them. Item 6. Other Requirements • Fencing, wall, and signage materials have been listed on the plan, as requested. • A note has been added to the plan reflecting the requirement that all proposed utilities be placed underground. • A note has been added to the plan reflecting the requirement that all overhead electric lines on the property which carry less than 12 Kv shall be relocated underground. • Trash service shall consist of standard residential containers, which shall be stored at the homes when not waiting for pickup, as in other residential neighborhoods. Further screening should not be needed. • A note has been added to the plan reflecting the requirement that all utilities be screened. Engineering Comments • A six foot sidewalk has been added along Crossover Road. • Please see justification for not showing the sidewalks under item 5 above. • The proposed sewer line has been rerouted as requested. • A note has been added to the plan indicating sod requirements for the detention pond. • The detention pond has been designed to retain a normal pool of water. As such,' no trickle channel has been shown. Tree Preservation Based upon our reading of the ordinance, we believe that a preservation requirement of 20 percent is the appropriate amount by code. The PZD ordinance states that the "most restrictive" tree preservation standard shall apply. This has been interpreted by Staff as the most restrictive tree preservation standard in the entire landscape ordinance. By this reasoning, PZDs will soon require nearly 50% canopy preservation, due to the pending adoption of the Hillside Development ordinance. We believe that a more correct interpretation of the PZD ordinance would be to require the most restrictive tree preservation standard for all uses present within the PZD, and would appreciate the input of the City attoumey in this matter. In either case, based upon a full tree survey of the property, present tree coverage amounts to just over nine percent of the total site area, and this amount by ordinance governs the preservation and/or mitigation required. The tree preservation plan has been modified to reflect the findings of the tree survey. • The blanket easement on lot 14 has been removed from the plan, and a specific easement has been added which works around the existing trees. Tree preservation measures are shown on the plan. The calculations on the tree preservation plan have been revised to reflect these changes. • Each tree on the site has been individually surveyed, and is now shown on the tree preservation plan. • With the new tree survey data shown, the extent of tree removal for the new site features is more readily seen. The plan shows removal of nine of the site's 33 existing trees. One of the trees scheduled for removal is a large mimosa, which appears to be in poor health. Several of the other trees are in the mid -priority preservation range. The best trees on the site are being saved, and in large number. In addition, the required sidewalk along Crossover Road has been designed to minimize its impact on the existing trees located on the right-of-way. Removal of two trees along the frontage -will be required to facilitate placement of water and sewer lines to serve the project, and a utility easement across the front of the property places these trees out of the protected category. As stated -above, the utility easements have been reconfigured to maximize tree protection. It is my personal belief that it would be grossly impractical to develop this site with absolutely no tree removal, and that the mitigation trees now shown on the plan will provide a high -quality end product consistent with the intent of the landscape ordinance. Fire Marshall • The cul-de-sac has been enlarged to facilitate better access for fire department vehicles. We believe, based on the current configuration, that the island in the center will not interfere with the passage of equipment, and that the island is necessary to break up the expanse of pavement which would otherwise be present.
