CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO /6 7olfDroff
To: Mayor and City Council PICI&L TAW
Thru: Gary Dumas, Director of Operations
From: Jeremy C. Pate, Director of Current Planning
Date: August 31 , 2005
Subject: Commercial Planned Zoning District for Pratt Place Inn (C-PZD 05- 1670)
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of an ordinance creating a Commercial Planned
Zoning District (C-PZD) for Pratt Place Inn, based on the Master Development Plan,
development standards and statement of commitments submitted. This action will
establish a unique zoning district for a mixed-use project on approximately 72 acres
located at the west end of Markham Road. The proposal consists of a hotel/inn with seven
rooms, a restaurant, up to four rustic log cabins, four single family dwelling units, the
utilization of the existing barn for weddings and other social events, agricultural use and
supporting infrastructure and improvements for the Inn use.
BACKGROUND
The property consists of a total of 72 acres located at the west end of Markham Road,
fronting onto Markham, Sang, Cross and Halsell. It is currently zoned RSF-4 and R-A,
and occupied by agricultural land, tree canopy, several cabins, single family homes and a
large barn. Portions of the property were rezoned to R-A in 2002 to allow for agricultural
uses, including horses, and included a Bill of Assurance.
The applicant requests a rezoning and Master Development Plan approval for a mixed-
use project within a unique C-PZD zoning district. The site is intended to be kept in
much its same state, but to allow for the existing historic home to be remodeled into an
Inn and restaurant. Associated parking, a swimming pool, tennis court and other ancillary
uses are proposed, as well. The existing barn has been utilized in the past to host social
events, such as weddings and receptions. The rezoning would formally recognize this use
as part of the Pratt Place Inn project. Existing, older cabins on the property are proposed
to be removed, and up to four log cabins to replace them on the property. The remainder
of the site is proposed to remain much as is, utilizing some of the land for agricultural
timber, nut trees, grazing or a couple of single family homes. The project is divided into
three (3) Planning Areas, each with its own permitted and conditional uses, setbacks, lot
sizes, etc.

To the mayor and members of the Fayetteville City Council:
Since some of you may not have visited Sassafras Hill/Pratt Place and
others may now want to revisit it, we would welcome the opportunity to show you
around the property, the Pratt house, the barn, and the other structures we are
asking to have rezoned in our Pratt Place Inn PZD request. We will be in
Fayetteville October 14-17 during Drake University's fall break, so if you wish to
• visit, please call us at (479) 582-5443 to arrange a time. If you call before the
13th, we can be reached in Des Moines at (515) 243-4089.
Should you come on Sunday afternoon we can introduce you to our new
Haflinger horses which are being delivered from Missouri after three months of
training for both riding and pulling as a team: The person from whom we have
bought them is also bringing his wagon to demonstrate their prowess as a team
and we would be pleased to give you a spin around the pasture. When we are
able to locate more of this relatively rare Austrian breed of the age, caliber, and
training we are looking for, they too will make their home in the pastures and the
barn that was built for them.
cerely,
Jane d Julian Archer

To the mayor and members of the Fayetteville City Council;
The information below is not really pertinent to our Pratt Place Inn PZD request,
but since people speaking at the two previous city council meetings raised these
issues, among others, we would like to dispel some of the myths.
13he three cabins in the woods: These are left over from Joy Pratt Markham's
Hilltop Camp in the 1920s and 1930s and are structures that she started renting
out in the 1950s and continued renting until her death in 1976. We were going to
tear them down 26 years ago, but the renters begged us to leave them, and ever
since then we have had a waiting list of "back to nature" types who love the
secluded, natural environment. A practicing attorney lived in one for eleven
years and a schoolteacher for several years, as well as a writer and a
businesswoman who rented a cabin respectively as. a retreat, even though they
owned houses in town. They are not visible without walking back in the woods
expressly to visit a resident or to look at the cabins. Indeed, they have not
diminished the quality of life for anyone, and no one is even aware of their
existence except those who live there or are trespassing. The comments made
about them are nothing more than gratuitous harassment, but anyone who has a
burning desire to see something removed that has had no negative impact of any
kind on the neighborhood can take heart in the fact that these cabins will be torn
down before the inn opens. Two other structures also will be torn down—the
houses at 2154 and 2222 Evangeline lane.
2. Tree removal: If we had wanted to, we could have clear-cut Sassafras Hill
long ago. Instead, for the past 26 years we have employed wise forestry
management practices by selectively removing unhealthy or junk trees to give
quality trees more growing room and light. Our most recent clearing was beside
a pasture along Sang Street, and not a single quality tree was removed . It is to
be a pasture of mixed shade and grass. Moreover, both in developing Bois d'Arc
and in getting utilities to the new barn, we spent an extravagant amount of money
using a directional borer to get utility lines under trees so as not to harm them,
rather than destroying trees and then trenching to lay down lines, a far less costly
method .
In addition, we have planted many trees of various species all over the property
and lined Markham and Sang with rows of regularly spaced sycamores. We did
the same in our Bois d'Arc subdivision, though there was no city requirement to
do so. In short, though it may appear immodest to say so, we have done more to
beautify and enhance the neighborhood than anyone else. It is time consuming
and costly, albeit satisfying, to improve property as we have, and so cheap and
easy to verbally assault our efforts and us personally, for motives beyond our
comprehension. It seems no good deed goes unpunished.
10/ 08/ 2005 06 : 32 5152434080 ARCHER • PAGE 04
•
3. The alleged promise never to develop the Hill: The man who claimed that
when he bought 21 /2 acres of property from us , we gave him a letter stating that
we would never develop the Hill was making it up out of whole cloth . Unless,
given that we heard all of this second hand, we may have misunderstood some
things. In any case, we did not sell him this parcel which he evidently purchased
from the couple to whom We sold it in 2002, and we certainly did not give him a
letter of any kind . We have never met him or heard his name, and we have no
idea who he is or where he's coming from. Furthermore, his concerns (and those
of Lynn Wade's also) that the PZD allows "commercial development" on the land
adjacent to his are unfounded because our PZD proposal leaves that land just as
it is, -- in its natural state.
4 . A bit of historical Fayetteville trivia: The name of the hill is not Markham Hill,
which derived in the popular mind from Markham Road . Its old, true folk name is
Sassafras Hill (aptly named for all of the sassafras trees on the property). Its
original name, going way back, was Archias Mountain after the Archias family
that owned it.
Sincerely,
• Jan and Julian Archer

To the City Council, City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, October 4, 2005
STATEMENT IN FAVOR OF REZONING FOR PRATT PLACE INN
I am Kenneth Smith. I have lived in Fayetteville since 1974. Before that, for 12 years I
was a civil engineer and park planner with the National Park Service.
Since 1960 I have known members of the Archer family who own the land proposed
for rezoning. First, I came to know Julian Archer's mother, Evangeline, when she
played an important part in the campaign for Congress to establish the Buffalo National
River. Then, when I moved to Fayetteville in 1974, I lived in one of the houses on the
property for a year and a half, until I could purchase a lot in town and build.
Thus I learned much about the Archer property and its history. Over the years I have
worried about what could happen to the land in the long run. I have seen it as open
space, close-in but landlocked, the only vehicle entry being Markham Road.
Over the years, to Julian and Jane Archer and to anyone else talking about the Archer
property, I have said this: The property's undeveloped open space should always
remain as open space—breathing room for Fayetteville.
I have also told the Archers I hope the high school and University mens and women's
track teams can continue to run the trails on the property. The coaches, especially John
McDonnell, want the trails for conditioning their runners; McDonnell says the trails are
important. And I'm a track enthusiast. I want those kids to be able to run those trails.
Maybe I shouldn't have worried. Though I never asked the Archers about their long
term plans—I felt it was not my business—over the last 25 years their strategy has
become evident: They have sold outlying land to pay taxes and provide capital. They
have kept the core area, the Inn property where three homes have sheltered three
generations of the family. They have protected open space. They've let the runners run.
No. I should worry. Taxes and land prices have gone up. Fayetteville is expanding.
Developers would like to buy that land and work their will: Markham Hill Estates. Or
Markham Hill Apartments (except that name's already taken). Open space cut up.
Runners pushed out. A new traffic problem to be dealt with.
Today the Archers want to develop Pratt Place Inn. They're counting on it to produce
income to enable them to cope with taxes and upkeep and hold on to the family
property. Part of the plan is that the pasture and the woods could stay and the runners
could run. Even if someday the Archers children or grandchildren decide to sell the
property, we who want to protect this special place will have gained time.
Therefore I am in favor of the requested rezoning for Pratt Place Inn.
