PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL 84-20
REZONING FOR ZED JOHNSON
WEST OF HWY. 265, S. SIDE HWY. 45
The second item on the agenda was a Public Hearing on Appeal 84-20,
a rezoning petition submitted by Zed Johnson for property located
approximately 450' west of Hwy. 45 on the south side of Hwy. 45.

Chairman Hailey advised that Commissioners had received a letter from
Mr. Johnson prior to this meeting which states that his intention
is to request the rezoning be applicable to only the north 450 ft. of
the entire 15 acre tract.
Consultant Wood reported as follows: It is recommended that this
rezoning application be tabled to allow the owner/or buyer to propose
a specific development plan. The problems I see are:
1. It appears that the only access to this property will be
from Highway 45;
2. It also appears that there is another ownership just to
the west with the same situation;
3. Rezoning the entire property C-1 District as C-2 District
does not establish a transition to residential;
4. Establishing a residential transition on the south part
of the property would force residential access through
commercial property which is not a good planning practice;
• 5. Access should be coordinated with the property to the west;
•
6. Some form of a transition should be established on the west
property line implying that not all of the Highway 45 frontage
would be commercial.
Wood explained that this property is blocked from access to Hwy. 265
by commercial developments that face that highway, and blocked by
the developing subdivision on the west. He added that he felt a plan
was needed as to the development of the southern portion of this property
and it's neighboring property to the immediate west, which has the
same access problem. Wood thought a transition of office/residential
was necessary around the existing commercially zoned property at the
intersection of Hwys. 265 and 45. He said he could see the potential
of Johnson's property serving a commercial purpose in that it faces
commercial property on the north side of Hwy. 45. He also explained
that the properties on the north side of 45 were established all at
once in order to identify the commercial, office & residential districts.
The Public Hearing was opened and Mr. Johnson spoke for this appeal.
He stated that he needed to use this property, which he has owned
for 20 years, for something productive. He said that his property
was rezoned when it was annexed into the City thereby excluding some
means of making a living from it. Johnson said he has a prospective
buyer for a portion of the land or the entire parcel. He said the
proposed business would require 200 ft.

In answer to Hanna's inquiry regarding the retention of an easement
to the southern portion of land, Johnson replied that he intended
to place such an easement through the middle of the front portion
and he added that he did not have any development plans for the southern
portion presently.
As there was no one else present to speak either for or against this
appeal, the Public Hearing was closed to discussion among Commissioners
Crook said it would be difficult to justify additional C-2 and that
C-1 seemed more reasonable, particularly because there is currently
much C-2 property available and not being used in this area. She advised
that, even though a stoplight will be added to the nearby intersection,
(which will tend to back the traffic up) another drive might be difficult
to exit from onto 265. She inquired if Johnson had consulted with
the developer to the east of his property and Johnson replied that
said developer has cut a considerably large ravine which empties across
Hwy. 265 near the liquor store. Crook asked if Johnson could arrange
an exit to 265 and he replied that the land there has been proposed
as a car wash by the owner.
Johnson stated that he didn't think additional traffic would be a
problem as he had worked on Hwy. 71 North for 15-17 years and he had
seen that there are always traffic problems on any major thoroughfare.
Hanna said he felt his was a reasonable request in light of the zoning
of other properties on the north side of Hwy. 45. and because the
petitioner was not in favor of tabling his request, Hanna said he
would vote in behalf of the appeal.
Madison stated that she had given a great deal of thought to this
petition as the property is close to where she lives. She added that
she has talked to several of her neighbors as well, and that she did
not receive any strong favorable feelings from them in regards to
this rezoning. Madison said she thought the traffic at the intersection
of Hwys. 265 and 45 is already unbearable, and although she would
like to see more commercial and service businesses at this location
for convenience, it seemed premature to rezone this parcel when there
is clearly no demand for C-2 as demonstrated by vacant C-2 properties
which are available and being not used.
MOTION
Stockdell said she felt apprehensive to rezone even the front 450
ft. of this property because there is no protection, at this point,
for the residents of the area to the west and she moved to table this
request until there is a more comprehensive plan for the entire area
which will protect the residential area from the commercial property.
Madison seconded, followed by discussion.

Chairman Hailey advised that a tabled motion supersedes any other
motion. He explained that if the vote failed and a subsequent motion
to approve the rezoning should be denied, then it would be one year
before Johnson could return to the Planning Commission with a request
to rezone this property. He added that, if tabled, the appeal could
be brought off the table for further discussion at any time.
Crook asked to have the responsibility for devising a plan of access
clarified as part of the motion and Stockdell said she would follow
her motion with a recommendation that the issue of access (other than
the current one to Hwy. 45) be addressed shortly.
Jones advised that this case could be tabled for 45 days without Johnson's
approval and anything longer than that would require his approval.
Wood agreed to have a preliminary report within 45 days.
Green asked if the proposed 45 days would have any significant effect
on Johnson's plans and Johnson replied that it might. Johnson was
invited to come up with a plan himself, if he so desired.
Jacks said if Johnson devises a plan, it could be heard at the meeting
of November 26th and Jones advised that any action would need to take
place by December 10th to meet the 45 day requirement as there is
no meeting December 24th.
Tarvin asked the width of the property between Johnson and the R-2
property. He said it didn't look as though there were room for two
lots and a street there.
Green asked if Johnson had reason for requesting C-2 instead of C-1
and Johnson replied that there is currently a service garage on the
property which C-1 does not allow.
Jacks if a C-1 zoning would suit Johnson's potential buyer and Johnson
replied that it might because of the nature of the proposed business.
Green said he would prefer to vote on a C-1 rezoning if it would fit
and if Johnson agreed but he added that he would rather table it than
run the risk of delaying it for up to a year. Green said he didn't
think the garage would be a problem because it already exists.
Crook said she didn't think C-1 zoning would solve the problem with
regards to whether or not this issue should be tabled for access plans.
The question was called and the motion to table this petition until
the December 10th meeting passed 6-2-0, Green and Hanna voting "nay".
Chairman Hailey requested Wood to keep in touch with Mr. Johnson and
keep him involved in the study of this area.

POINT WEST LOTS 1 3 2 BLK "C"
ON SHILOH DRIVE - BY STERLING ANDERS
Green, Chairman of the Subdivision Committee noted that this development
had been approved at the Committee meeting of November 9th and needed
no further action by the Planning Commission. He proceeded to read
the provisions of the motion made on that date: Approved subject to:
1. Plat Review comments; 2. Clayton Powell's approval of the 40 ft.
measurement at the northeast drive radii; 3. the right-of-way requirement
being met on Shiloh or being waived by the City Board; 4. re -wording
of the utility easement on the southwest corner from setback to easement;
5. protective measures being taken on the island beds in the green
area; and, 6. double seal and coat on the western apron.
REQUEST FOR LOT SPLIT
WADE BISHOP
MALINDA DRIVE - REGENCY NORTH
The fourth item on the agenda was a request for a waiver of the three
acre minimum lot size applicable to a first lot split submitted by
Wade Bishop for Lots 20 and 21, Block 11, Regency North, Phase II,
less and except the southernmost 48 ft. of Lot 20; zoned R-2.
Bishop was present to speak for this request. He explained that Lot
21 was originally planned for a triplex and when this met with opposition
this plan was changed to accommodate single-family homes. He added
that a 20 ft. water easement runs between Lots 20 and 21 further limiting
available building space. Bishop said that he would like to build
a single-family dwelling on each of these lots.
MOTION
Jacks moved approval of this lot split, Hanna seconded and the motion
to approve passed 8-0-0.
REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE
FOR CHILD CARE - DONNA CAUDLE
NE CORNER OF BERTHA ST. b LEE AVE.
The fifth item on the agenda was a request for a Conditional Use for
child care submitted by Donna Caudle to be located on the northeast
corner of Bertha St. and Lee Ave; zoned R-1.
Administrator Jones stated that, because this is being requested in
an R-1 zone, the maximum allowable number of children is ten with
specific requirements as to lot area, outdoor play area, and screening
(if the property if within 50 ft. of any other residential properties).
She explained that a "Home Occupation" would allow only 6 children
and none of the aforementioned requirements.

Jones said that a number of years ago, a request was made by Educare
Center regarding this property and she said she thought it may have
been considered, conditional to Lee Street being improved. She stated
that, in her opinion, this property has some developmental problems.
Crook asked if improving Lee Street the full depth of this property
is what is being considered and Jones replied affirmatively and added
that she thought it would be reasonable that some of the costs of
the improvements be shared by the owners of Lots 1, 2 & 3 opposite
subject property, if any improvements are required.
Madison inquired if Lee is a public street and Jones replied that
it was and that it has a 40 ft. right-of-way dedication but should
have one of 50 ft.
Caudle was present to speak for this request. She stated that she
did not think there would be much traffic at this location.
Viola Jackman, 101 Bertha, stated that she was not in opposition to
the request but she wished to know if Lee Street would be paved and
she added that she needed clarification as to which plan (of two proposed)
Caudle would be using. Jackman requested that Caudle place her proposed
driveway on Lee Street rather than on Bertha.
Hailey explained that the previous petitioner for Conditional Use
for commercial child care on this property had been asked to pave
Lee Street and Jackman remarked that Educare would have served some
40-50 children as opposed to the ten being planned. She said that
all of the neighbors had been opposed to the Educare proposal.
Crook said that she thought the petitioner was willing to place her
drive on Lee Street if she were not required to pave that street.
Caudle verified this fact and added that she was financially unable
to pave Lee Street.
Stockdell explained that the manner in which a determination is made
as to whether off-site improvements are necessary is by rational nexus
(or how much of an impact a particular use will have on a situation).
She stated that she didn't think the impact would be great in the
case of facilities for ten children as per this request.
Caudle replied that, because of Wyatt's Cafeteria being located just
to the north, she would not be adding much to the existing traffic
situation.
Green inquired as to the difference between this situation and that
of a large scale development with regards to off-site improvements.
• Stockdell said she thought it would depend on the "rational nexus"
and if sufficient impact was made then it would apply.

MOTION
Jacks made a motion to approve the Conditional Use request. Hanna
seconded and the motion to approve the Conditional Use passed 8-0-0.
Discussion followed regarding off-site improvements.
Jones said that, although Lee is a dedicated street, she didn't think
the Street Department considered as an opened street. She said she
has previously taken agreements with owners to allow the placement
of the driveway on an unimproved street with the stipulation that
the City will not maintain said street. Hanna commented that the
City does not currently maintain Lee Street.
Jackman remarked that someone is maintaining Lee Street with applications
of gravel and oil.
Hailey asked Jones if a driveway would be acceptable on either street
frontage and Jones replied that she would probably refer the issue
to the Street Department unless this Commission addresses it.
Crook suggested that a waiver be given for the requirement that Lee
Street be paved as a condition of day care use. Madison said she felt
Lee Stree should be paved or closed.
Jacks said he didn't think the issue needed to be addressed any further
as the petitioner had already been asked to enter into a Bill of Assurance
which states that she will join a Street Improvement District in the
future.
MOTION
Stockdell moved that this owner/developer be required to sign a Bill
of Assurance which stipulates that they will participate in a Street
Improvement District in the event that one should be formed. Jacks
seconded, followed by discussion.
Stockdell explained to Caudle that this motion meant that if the other
property owners who may have an impact on Lee Street should decide
to make the street improvements, that Caudle would pay a portion of
the total cost of those improvements based on a "rational nexus" basis.
Hanna repeated that "rational nexus" meant "how much Caudle and/or
her business would use (or impact) the street.
Green pointed out that the three lots on the opposite side of Lee
Street, if developed, would represent at least 50%, of the value, and
the controlling decision, of whether an improvement district was formed.
He added that there was also the possibility that the Consumers shopping
center might not be required to join.

Madison asked if there were a mechanism to force the shopping center
to pay a fair share. Stockdell said she thought there was, on a "rational
nexus" basis and Jones added that, if they were included in an improvement
district the shopping center would represent the major participant.
Green pointed out that, if the shopping center represented one-half
of the possible votes and they chose not to enter into an improvement
district, the other property owners on the north half (and west side)
of Lee Street could still form an improvement district which excluded
the shopping center, and Caudle would be faced with the original situation
of paying for approximately half the cost of improvements. He said
he did not think a Bill of Assurance from Caudle should be required.
Madison asked if the City could take the responsibility of paving
Lee Street and assess the residents for part of the cost and Jones
replied that it could not.
The question was called and the motion to ask the property owner to
sign a Bill of Assurance stating that they will participate in a future
Street Improvement District for the paving of Lee Street along the
portion between this prospective owner's lots and those opposite (being
Lots 1, 2 & 3 of Crest Addition passed 5-3-0, Hanna, Green and Hailey
voting "nay"
Green requested that the clerk read the motion and following that
reading, he said he desired to make that same motion for a second
time, as Tarvin had indicated that he wished to change his vote from
"aye" to "nay". Several Commissioners objected and Chairman Hailey
determined that this action would be inappropriate at this time.
MOTION
After more discussion regarding whether or not the adjoining shopping
center could or should be included in the Street Improvement District,
Stockdell made a motion to ask the City Attorney to review the motion
which required Caudle to become part of a Street Improvement District
for further discussion by Commission members at their next meeting.
Jacks seconded and the motion passed 7-1-0, Green voted "nay".
REPORT FROM THE GENERAL UPDATE COMMITTEE
NON -CONFORMING STRUCTURES:
In Chairman Williams absence, other members of this Committee and
Consultant Wood, gave reports of items discussed at their recent meetings.
The first item considered was that of non -conforming structures. Wood
said that this included lots that are smaller than the ordinance calls
�yy
Planning Commission
November 13, 1984
Page 9
for or existing structures which violate one or more of the setback
requirements, or residential structures zoned other than residential.
Wood said a request has been made by the Planning Administrator to
allow the expansion of these houses, allow additions to same and allow
construction of houses on lots that are non -conforming
Another consideration would allow the upward expansion of existing
non -conforming residential structures (but no forward expansion) and
yet another consideration would allow awnings, porch roofs, and carports
in residential zones to extend into the required front -yard setback
if (1) the Extension is at least 10 ft. from the Street right-of-way;
(2) the roofed area is open on the sides; and (3) the structure does
not materially obstruct vision.
Wood stated that two ways of obtaining the above objectives would
be (1) to gain the approval of neighbors on each side, in the immediate
rear and across the street or (2) request subject variances from the
Board of Adjustment.
Crook advised that it might be safer to word the above "property owners"
instead of neighbors. She said this change would apply to isolated
lots in subdivisions that were developed before the PUD ordinances
were in effect and she felt this issue should be addressed as such
(with this wording) and not used where one large lot with an existing
house could be subdivided and used for two or more new dwellings.
Madison expressed concern regarding the manner in which approval for
subject variances could be obtained in that she felt asking all of
the surrounding neighbors was akin to "going begging". Wood and Jones
clarified that approval could be granted by the Board of Adjustment
without approval from neighbor/owners.
Wood inquired if this provision should apply in R-2 & R-3 Districts.
Madison said if a lot were big enough to support a duplex it could
meet the required setbacks for a single-family dwelling.
Jones said two or more of these small lots could be purchased together
and be considered as one lot if all legal descriptions are included
as part of the parcel.
Hanna said it could have an effect on a small lot between two duplexes
which is too small for another.
Jones explained the requirements for lot sizes and setbacks for duplexes
in an R-2 District. She advised that many times the problem in this
District is finding enough space to meet the parking requirements.
Wood said he did not see any problems with relaxing some restrictions
in any residential district but he thought in R-2 and R-3 there was
v HS
Planning Commission
November 13, 1984

the chance of an
heigth or parking
to this.
unforeseen problems arising, perhaps dealing with
requirements. He suggested much thought be given
Jones said R-2 and R-3 (with proof furnished that the units will be
townhouses or condos) the minimum lot width, lot area and area per
dwelling unit is not applicable, but setbacks and overall density
requirements would have to be met.
With regards to porches, overhangs and carports extending into front
yard setbacks, Crook said she thought this restriction would be difficult
to enforce and she added that sometimes porches and carports can be
filled with furniture or storage units and become a vision impeding
hazard. In answer to Jones inquiry, Crook said it might alter her
feelings if the requirement were to read something other than the
10 ft. from street right-of-way which has been proposed.
Hanna said he thought this proposed change referred mainly to elderly
citizens who had no place close to park their cars or overhangs/porches
to get under and out of the rain.
Jones said it also might apply to a family that buys a small house
and, as the family grows, the quickest way to gain additional needed
living space is to enclose an existing carport which sometimes eliminates
the option of adding a carport or garage at a later date because there
is no way of getting to the rear yard.
Hanna said the sides of a carport must be left open and he felt there
was a way of enforcing that requirement; Green agreed. Green added
that he thought a person would park their car in their carport if
one were available and he compared this situation to that of people
parking several cars in their driveway, creating a visual obstruction.
Crook said she had no objection to a simple cover type porch to shelter
from the weather and Jones replied that requests may come in for both
kinds of porches. Crook thought the wording of the proposal might
clarify what was acceptable.
Jones suggested limiting the extension of porch roof or awning to
4-6 ft. for clarification purposes.
ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND USES:
The next item of consideration was that of access structures. Wood
advised that the ordinance presently prohibits an accessory structure
in a setback. This includes all portable buildings, those larger than
8 X 10 requiring building permits
ays

The first referral was to television antenna dishes. The Committee
felt that no accessory buildings should be allowed in a front setback
and if an antenna was erected between the front of the principal structure
and the street right-of-way, it should be screened or the base of
the dish should be screened by landscaping.
Jones said that present requirements include no accessory building
being constructed on any lot in the required setback and a second
section reads that no accessory building shall be constructed prior
to construction of the principal building to which it is an accessory
unless such building is approved by the Planning Commission. She
reminded Wood that the Committee had discussed the possibility of
someone placing an accessory building on a property with no principal
structure to house a mower for the purpose of maintaining the lot.
Tarvin said he did not approve of accessory buildings at all, let
alone one erected prior to a principal structure.
Stockdell said she had a recent experience in which an engineer had
advised that the best possible location for a (particular) antenna
dish was close to the building. She said she didn't think that the
an antenna location should be restricted except for setbacks requirements.
Jacks expressed his concern about the legality of restricting the
placement of such auxiliary equipment. He said they may be considered
"auxiliary equipment" and not structures and he added that if the
City Attorney felt this proposal was defensible, he would not object.
Jones stated that there is a section of code which refers to any structure
exceeding 30" above ground level.
Crook referred to a recent Little Rock ordinance which requires antenna
dishes which are placed between a house and the street to be screened. It
was decided to address antenna dishes at the upcoming Public Hearing.
Wood advised that the Update Committee members had decided trash containers
should be allowed in setbacks and could be screened on three sides
and left open on the service (or street) side.
Crook advised that these would need to monitored to avoid creating
a hazard by impeding vision. Jones replied that there is a section
of ordinance covering this possibility.
Tarvin asked if this would apply to all zoning districts and Wood
replied that it would but that it mainly would deal with large dumpsters
utilized by commercial concerns which are required to have 50ft. setbacks.
Jones commented that there are some apartment complexes where the
•
front yard setback is the only place available to place a trash container.
?H7
Planning Commission
November 13, 1984
Page 12
Commissioners asked why the Committee has considered not allowing
swimming pools in front yard setbacks and Wood replied that the main
concern was for the privacy fences erected around pools which may
impede vision.
ACCESSORY RESIDENTIAL USES IN NON-RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS:
The following proposal addresses C-1, C-2, I-1 and I-2 Districts;
Wood stated that this use has not, previously, been allowed with the
exception of C-3 and C-4 which allows multi -family. He said the feeling
of the Committee was that attached residentials and some detached
residentials in these zones should be allowed as long as code requirements
were met and that the owner enter into an agreement that a parcel
with both a residence and a commercial building will not be sold separate-
ly one from the other. As an example, Wood cited a commercial business
on the ground floor of a building with apartments above it.
Crook was concerned that the parking and setback requirements remain
separate and distinct in the various districts and not overlap.
ADDITION OF R-1.5 MODERATE DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
Wood introduced a proposal for a new zoning district (drafted by himself
and Jones) to be called R-1.5 (Moderate Density Residentail) which
would include twelve families per acre or less. The following uses
would be permitted in this district: Units 1, 8, 26 and a "to -be -created"
Use Unit (29). Uses permissible on appeal to the Planning Commission
would include Units 2, 3 & 4. He advised Commissioners of the proposed
bulk and area regulations for the new district and added that Use
Unit 29would include single-family, two-family and three-family dwellings.
Crook said that she had a problem with the proposed setback which
states that side yards may be waived on one side to permit zero lot
line development, provided the side yard opposite the zero lot line
is at least fifteen feet and no structures on the adjoining property
are closer than 15 ft. She said she would see "...and no structures
on the adjoining property are closer than 15 ft." omitted. Crook
said she felt the best feature of zero lot line was to bring the two
structures into sharing a common wall.
Jones said the intent of this proposal was that two structures could
have zero lot line on their common lot line and 15 ft. on each of
their opposite lot lines.
Crook inquired as to control of this situation in a commercial zone
and Jones suggested that it might be left to the building code.
Green asked if this would be limited to two structures and Jones said
if three buildings were joined together meeting the yard setbacks,
it would be considered a triplex rather than three separate structures
on three separate lots.

Madison said the intent of the Committee was to provide for smaller
structures on smaller lots and not have rowhouses result.
Mrs. Don Mills, a member of the Fayetteville Board of Adjustment was
present and made the following comments: She agreed with Madison's
objection to the requirement that neighbors signatures be obtained
to have setback variances granted. Mills said she did not think it
was fair to go by the whims of the neighborhood and wondered if guidelines
could be constructed for Jones to administer regarding these issues.
She also inquired if setbacks from the side property line had been
addressed for carports because this is where most of carport problems
occur. Mills said this situation very often affects elderly people
who have closed in their carport as a bedroom years ago and now need
a carport or garage because of (possible) ailments. She requested
that the Update Committee address the side property line variance
before it comes up at a Public Hearing.
Crook said that the proposal would include a side setback of 5 ft. if
the other structures in the neighborhood are built with that setback.
Green request that the issue of where the measurement for driveway
width be taken from be clarified and Crook added that she would like
to see lot splits addressed as well.
Hailey requested Consultant Wood to put these two items on the list
for the Update Committee to pursue as well as the turning circle on
culs-de-sac and the 25 ft. safety zone.
SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS FOR 1985
MOTION
Stockdell moved to approve the schedule of Planning Commission meetings
for 1985, as presented by the Planning Office which includes each

OTHER BUSINESS
Tarvin commented that the Transportation Improvement Program lists
several streets that are not in compliance with the Master Street
Plan. The streets in question are 1. Township - from Old Wire Road
to Hwy. 265 on the Master Street Plan is listed as a Collector Street
while on the TIP it is listed as a Principal Arterial; 2. Poplar -
from Leverett to Gregg is listed as a local street and is shown to
be widened to four lanes; and 3. Sycamore - from Leverett to Garland
is listed as a Collector but shown to be widened to four lanes.
Jacks advised that North Street is shown as a Minor Arterial while
the Street Plan shows it as a Primary Arterial.
Crook wished to call this situation to the attention of the City Board.
She said she felt changes should not be made to the Master Street
Plan without a Public Hearing.
NOTION
Jacks moved that this Commission pass a resolution to the City Board
as described by Crook, Stockdell seconded followed by discussion.
Jacks advised that these issues may not be legal until a Public Hearing
is held.
Jones said that, as per the City Manager's office, the difference
on Township Road was an error. She said she had been told, also,
that on Poplar Street the minimum standard is what has been listed
and it can be improved to four lanes.
After some discussion, the question was called and the motion passed
8-0-0.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:28 P.M.

Resolution 1 — 8 4
BE IT RESOLVED:
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has become aware that
some street classifications shown on the Transportation Improvement
