PUBLIC HEARING FOR REZONING PETITION #R91-1
CAROLINE PARSONS - SW CORNER OF GARLAND & WEDINGTON
The second item on the agenda was a public hearing for rezoning petition #R91-1
submitted by Danny Wright on behalf of Caroline Parsons for property located on
the southwest corner of Garland Avenue and Wedington Drive. The request was to
rezone from R-1, Low Density Residential, to R -O, Residential -Office, and C-1,
Neighborhood Commercial.
John Merrell, Planning Management Director, stated that this petition was most
recently before the Commission last summer when they voted unanimously to deny
the requested rezoning to C-1 and R-0 of this property until the first meeting
in January to give the proponents of the nature. park time to look into it. The
staff's report on the merits of the rezoning and their recommendation are the
same as they were last June. That is to recommend that the Commission deny a
commercial rezoning of the property with the staff's preference being that it
eventually be rezoned to P-1, Institutional. In the staff's opinion, the best
use of the property is for greenapace for a possible park.
Commissioner Tarvin asked how the owner would be compensated for the value of the
property if it were rezoned to P-1. Mr. Merrell stated that the owners would
either have to develop it themselves for the uses that are allowed in P-1 zoning
or sell it to a party that wished to do the same. He added that the P-1 zoning
allows two use units by right: Use Unit 1(City Uses By Right) and Use Unit
4(Cultural and Recreational Facilities). Use Unit 1 includes such things as
public facilities, streets, alleys, and fire hydrant right-of-ways. Use Unit 4
allows such things as parks, libraries, museums, community centers, and schools.
Uses permitted on appeal to the Planning Commission include Use Units 2, 3, & 10
including city wide uses, public protection & utility facilities, and high

density multi -family dwellings. The Planning Commission has the option to
approve the request as submitted or refuse any rezoning at all. One compromise
position would be to rezone it to R-3, R-2, or R-1.5 allowing for residential
development of this property. In the 1970 Land Use Plan this property was
designated for low density residential. Then Mr. Raby and his group, who did
a study two years ago of city-wide future land use, recommended a vacant or
greenspace designation for the property. The staff's feeling is that if it is
the position of the Planning Commission to favor some form of commercial
rezoning, they would rather see an R-0 rezoning for the whole property which
wouldn't allow as many uses and would give better protection to the neighboring
property owners.
Commissioner Tarvin stated that Mr. Merrell had noted that, if this property was
rezoned to P-1, the owner would need to find someone who wanted to develop it as
P-1 with such uses are parks, schools, libraries, and museums. Since both parks
and schools seemed to have been ruled out, they would be looking for someone who
wanted to put in a library or a museum. Mr. Merrell clarified that, for a
buyer of the property, the owners would be looking for someone who wanted to use
it for uses allowed in P-1 including those mentioned. He noted that he isn't
sure what the status is of the response by the school board on this. It is the
staff's understanding that both the school board and the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Board of the City have stated that a park is a good idea at this
location, but they can't afford to participant in their purchase because of
budget restraints.
Commissioner Britton asked if anyone besides the owner can petition for a change
of zoning. Mr. Merrell stated that a rezoning can be initiated theoretically by
anyone. As a practical matter, if there 18 a situation where someone who had
no real involvement in the property wanted to see any given property rezoned, it
wouldn't have much of a chance of being approved without the owner's approval.
A rezoning could be initiated by this Commission, the City Board, the staff, the
owner, or any interested party.
Commissioner Britton clarified that the owner at this time is petitioning for C-1
and R -O only. Therefore, they either approve that petition or deny it.
The public hearing was opened. Chairman Hanna advised that since this has been
discussed several times in the past and in view of the number of people wanting
to speak, the remarks should be held to pertinent information and not duplication
of what has already been said.
Danny Wright, representing Caroline Parsons, stated that he would like to give
a general summary of what has taken place and defer his comments and responses
until after everyone has spoken. He advised that Mrs. Parsons is the Trustee of
the Trust which was originally established by her parents, Dr. & Mrs. Hathcock.
They are concerned about developing the property and selling it. They are also
concerned about the people who live around it and those that will be driving by
it. The property was first put on the market for sale at its present zoning in
the summer of 1988. The only interest that has been brought to the real estate
agency has been with regard to commercial development except for the group who
is interested in a park. There has been no one interested in it as residential
property. The parties have entered into a contract with Mr. Simpson and the
Fayetteville Public Schools for purposes of giving land to the school. There
were several valid points brought up at the earlier meetings concerning safety
of the children. They have agreed to give the City 40' off the south end of
this property in exchange for participation up to a certain dollar amount in
solving some drainage problems on the property. They are also going to deed to
them a right-of-way or an absolute 20' strip across another parcel of land owned
immediately to the west which would give the school access all the way from
Garland though to Hall Street. There is also a proposal that the school would
•
•
•
•
Planning Commission
January 14, 1991
Page 3
like to have the alley that is owned by the City developed into an access for the
children which would be much safer than going down Garland. Both Garland and
Wedington are slated to be four -lane highways. Also, they propose a 20' buffer
or living fence immediately to the east of the 20' alley owned by the City which
is on the west side of the property. He advised that in all of his experiences,
most parks are owned by cities or municipalities. The owners would be glad to
negotiate with the City to buy it. All they are asking is a fair price for the
property, but they don't think that a P-1 would get them that price. They have
also tried to meet the concerns of other people regarding the trees, etc. They
don't plan to bulldoze down the trees. They think that rezoning the property
is the only practical way to move the property. First of all, there is a need
for commercial property in Fayetteville as well as for R -O zoning. This
property is ideally suited for both of those.
Commissioner Nickle asked if they have considered all the property being rezoned
to R -O. Mr. Wright advised that the original petition was instigated by the
owner of Fuzzy's Restaurant who had selected a C-1 petition for the entire tract.
Mr. Wright added that R -O would be more appropriate next to the school.
However, in order to make this thing go with the school and for the living fence,
there is going to have to be some funds generated. Besides the fact that the
feel that the corner is ideally situated and located for C-1, that makes the
figures work together. If it were all rezoned R -O, they don't think the price
would justify giving it to the school. Their contract with the school says it
only happens if they get a C-1 rezoning.
Commissioner Springborn asked if any effort has been made to sell the property
to the University of Arkansas. Mr. Wright stated that, as far as he knows,
they haven't made a direct contact with the University. Commissioner
Springborn noted that the University doesn't seem to be adverse to acquiring land
particularly in the vicinity of its campus and it appears that they have the
funds to do that. If they were to purchase it, any kind of rezoning would
become moot.
Margie Moldenhauer of REMAX Realty stated that she had contacted the University
and had received a letter saying they weren't interested.
Mike Faupel stated that he is here with a group, Northwest Arkansas Trust for
Public Land, that was formed last summer as a result of the controversy over the
zoning of this property. He advised that they are here to help plan the proper
use for a piece of land. His group has made an offer on this property and are
still interested in buying it. He stated that the City staff is currently
studying the possibility of purchasing and using this piece of land for a
visitor's center. His group feels that this land is valuable for financial,
recreational, scientific, safety, and aesthetic reasons. He advised that the
visitor's center proposal would preserve the values that hie group is interested
in and would be a financial boom to the City of Fayetteville. He submitted
material of support including a letter from the governor, letters from some of
the scientific community, and letters from some of the education community
including the Superintendent of Fayetteville Schools, Winston Simpson, and the
PTO of Leverett School.
Chairman Hanna pointed out that the Planning Commission isn't the Board that will
decide whether or not this property is used for a nature park or a visitor's
center. Mr. Faupel stated that he is just trying to tell them the reasons why
a rezoning of this property is not appropriate. Chairman Hanna advised that
they are here to hear a rezoning request from the owners of the property based
on the use of that property alone. He added that regardless of what the
Planning Commission does, the property is still for sale.

Commissioner Allred stated that he was under the impression that there weren't
any offers on this property. Mr. Faupel stated that his group made an offer
last summer but it wasn't accepted. Commissioner Allred asked how this
proposed zoning impacts what their group is trying to do. Mr. Faupel stated
that the zoning would allow development that would not be conducive to what his
group is trying to do. He added that a rezoning wouldn't prohibit his group
from purchasing the property; if they purchased it, they would probably request
another rezoning at some point in the future.
Commissioner Allred stated that what he is hearing is that this group is asking
the Commission to deny a rezoning to give them an opportunity to purchase it.
Mr. Faupel stated that they are asking them to deny it so that the land will not
be developed while they are in their process.
Roger Henry, an artist, stated that he sees the whole thing differently. He
noted that there is a good possibility that the economy of the nation is going
to change very rapidly if war is started. He stated that he came from Houston
and has seen lots of empty office buildings and commercial space. There is a lot
of that in Fayetteville now. He stated that as an artist, he wants to speak in
support of Mother Nature who has supported the ability to develop and progress.
World wide people are beginning to see that the time of Mother Nature supporting
all of this development is soon coming to an end. It may be that trees and
water will get us through times of no money better than money can us through
times of no trees and water.
Pat Green, a resident of 962 Hall Avenue, stated that they own property directly
to the rear of this property. She is concerned about the traffic in the area
and the potential for an increased number of automobile accidents. There is
in excess of 500 students at Leverett. The only traffic accident involving a
school child in Fayetteville in the last couple of years has been at Leverett
School. She advised that they have been investing money every year in their
homes and landscaping. It is residentially zoned and they feel that they pay
taxes on improved property and the City should protect their investment. She
noted that she sympathizes with Mrs. Parsons because she has experienced selling
inherited property for 1/3 of the assessed value at the time of inheritance
because it was in the wrong location. She is opposed to the rezoning and she
feels that the best use of the land is for greenspace.
Barbara McCluskey, mother of three students at Leverett School, stated that she
is opposed to the rezoning. This is a very valuable piece of property as
greenspace. She would like to ask the Planning Commission that they have the
foresight to look at the value of this property as greenspace and not be
motivated by the instant gratification of its sale.
Rose McCluskey, a student at Leverett School, stated that their class recycled
cans and saved up money to donate toward making the land a nature park.
Scott Starr, parent of three children who attended Leverett School, stated that
he would like to dispute the notion that rerouting children down the back way to
Wedington and rerouting over to Garland to make a crossover at the intersection
would be an improvement in the safety conditions of children. In regard to the
offer of 40' on the back of the property seems to be tied with the drainage
improvements and he is wondering if the drainage improvements will be contained
within this area. As a landscape gardener, he has some concerns about the
ability to develop this property. It is well documented that heavy compaction
of soil or severing of roots or even minor grade changes around large oaks of
this species can be detrimental to their health or cause fatality of the trees.
It seems that if a compromise zoning is going to be considered, he would urge
them to reject the C-1 zoning and to encourage as low density as possible so that
as many trees can be preserved as possible. Also, knowing that there is a
•
•

Page 5
grading and landscape ordinance being worked on, he would urge them to delay any
rezoning until the new ordinances can be put into place.
Audry Peterson, resident of 930 Hall Avenue, stated that their property is
directly behind the area in question. She has all the normal property owner's
concerns as well as the safety concerns, since she has children in Leverett
School. But as a citizen of Fayetteville, she has other concerns. She advised
that on the three corners of the intersection in question, she has counted at
least 22 businesses not to mention a hugh apartment complex. Therefore, she
doesn't think they need any more concrete particularly when it would be at the
expense of this precious nature area. She is opposed to a commercial
development.
Scott Starr(speaking on behalf of Ralph Season) stated that Mr. Nesson, as a
representative of the Northwest Arkansas Trust for Public Land, has had a great
deal of experience in fund-raising and grant writing and has submitted his skills
to the Northwest Arkansas Trust for Public Land for help to raise the funds
necessary for purchase of the Parsons property. He would like to convey is
belief in the preservation of greenspace in Fayetteville.
Charles Baxter stated that he would like to ask the Commission to respect the
wishes of the surrounding neighbors, the parents, the students, the community at
large that this remain greenspace. Also, considering the safety of the school
children and the preservation of the residential integrity of the neighborhood,
this zoning petition should be denied.
Kirk Elsass, representing the owners, stated that the owners have no objection
to a park there. They haven't at any time rejected an opportunity to negotiate
a contract on this property. He added that this property should be commercial
and what he sees is that the opposition is trying to prevent the Parsons from
selling their property. He raised the following questions: What is the reason
for them not wanting it rezoned? Are they asking for more time? Is the money
there for a park?
Caroline Parsons stated that they are just trying to sell their property and no
one wants to buy it as R-1. They have worked with the park people and the Trust
for Public Land. What they have been told is that since the other corners of the
intersection are commercial property, they can't help them. She added that in
order to carry out their plan with the drainage, etc., they really need the C-1
zoning. They have really tried hard to compromise and address all the issues.
There being no one else wanting to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Allred stated that, if this is rezoned P-1 and the parks situation
doesn't materialize, multi -family could be allowed in this zoning as a
conditional use. Consequently, it could be developed as apartments with up to
94 units and 188 parking spaces. Mr. Merrell stated that is theoretically true,
but he assured the Commission that the staff wouldn't be in favor of that.
Commissioner Allred stated that he is getting the impression that the development
of this property is trying to be prohibited.
Commissioner Sickle stated that he is concerned about the potential traffic
impact of the commercial aspect of this petition. He isn't necessarily opposed
to the residential office aspect because he has seen that work out in
neighborhood areas much better. Personally, he is opposed to an additional
commercial development on that corner.
Commissioner Cato asked if the bill of assurance as outlined in staff
•

Page 6
recommendation has been offered. Mr. Wright stated that they have discussed it
with Mr. Merrell but have never made an offer as yet. He noted that they don't
agree with all factors.
Commissioner Springborn stated that he is looking at the letter from Governor
Clinton and the one from the University, Associate Professor - Kimberly Smith in
the Department of Zoology. He is wondering if all of this is really been
pursued to the best interest of the people who want to dispose of this land and
get their assessed value out of it.
Commissioner Britton stated that from her observation very few of the students
at Leverett School walk to school in comparison to how many are driven.
Leverett School has probably generated a lot more traffic than any C-1 commercial
development at that site would. If it is developed as C-1, she would like to
see that at least two of the lots were developed as one on the corner to try to
avoid any unnecessary curb cuts.
Commissioner Nickle stated that he is concerned about the access as shown in the
agenda packet being up the hill on Wedington which looks like it would be a
difficult and dangerous location.
Commissioner Springborn asked Mr. Wright if he feels that they have pursued the
potential of the University of Arkansas acquiring this land to a conclusion. Mr.
Wright stated that the contacts that they have had with the University are that
they aren't interested. He noted that they are trying to sell the land to
anyone who wants to buy it, and he doesn't think a zoning change would prohibit
the U of A from buying it. He added that the owners don't want to have to
preserve the property as greenspace, but if the City or someone else wants to
purchase it for that purpose, they are all for it.
Commissioner Cleghorn stated that he agrees with Commissioner Nickle that there
needs to be a solution to the ingress/egress problem. He added that in the past
the staff has presented them with information on what criteria to look at when
they are considering a rezoning of property such as whether there is a need for
it, etc. He sympathizes with both sides, but he doesn't see why there is a big
need to have it rezoned.
MOTION
Commissioner Cleghorn moved to deny the rezoning, seconded by Springborn. The
motion failed 3-5-0 with Cleghorn, Nickle, & Springborn voting "yes" and Britton,
Allred, Tarvin, Hanna, & Cato voting "no".
Commissioner Allred stated that the pedestrian traffic seems to be one of the
biggest concerns. He asked if there would be a way to limit the curb cuts to
eliminate potential problems in relation to this. Mr. Wright stated that such
things as the curb cuts, ingress, and egress will probably come back before the
Planning Commission at such time that a large scale development plan is submitted
on this property. He added that they aren't proposing to do any ingress or
egress on the property at this point.
Chairman Hanna stated that the way he understands it, they are requesting a
rezoning of 1.4 acres to C-1 and 2.9 acres to R -O. Therefore, they would have
to develop the 1.4 acres as one lot or come back before the Planning Commission
for a lot split. That means that a lot split or a large scale development on
this property would have to be brought before them at which time the
ingress/egress, parking, etc., will have to be addressed. Mr. Merrell agreed
that it would come back if the size of the development tract was larger than one
acre or if a lot split were requested.

Commissioner Britton stated that in the staff's recommendation certain assurances
are mentioned including no sale of alcoholic beverages. She asked if there
isn't a state body which governs where liquor can be served. Mr. Merrell
stated that State ABC Board looks at certain criteria when they decide whether
or not to grant a license for the sell or consumption of alcohol. However, they
don't get into the surrounding land uses. It is more of a background check on
who is applying for the license and maybe some particulars about the building.
In answer to a question from Mr. Merrell, Jerry Rose stated that their is a state
statue with regulations on the distances from schools and churches in regard to
the sell and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Commissioner Cato asked if it would be acceptable to make a motion that the
rezoning be granted contingent upon the offering of a bill of assurance. Mr.
Merrell stated that would be appropriate, but he had gotten the impression that
the applicants object to some things in the staff recommendation. He added that
when it goes on to the Board of Directors, Mr. Wright on behalf of the land
owners will have to actually make that offer.
NOTION
Commissioner Cato moved to recommend approval of the rezoning as requested
subject to the staff's recommendation that no business be allowed to sell alcohol
on the premises and that the owner be willing to execute the donation of the
greenspace on the south and the west sides of the property. This was followed
by discussion.
Chairman Hanna requested that Mr." Wright address the following conditions in
relationship to this petition: " 1) No business constructed on any part of the
parcel of the subject property be permitted to sell or distribute alcoholic
beverages and 2) The owners execute their promise to donate a 20' greenspace
along the western edge of the tract and a 40' right-of-way along the southern
edge.
Mr. Wright stated that they have no problem with the agreement to donate the 20'
greenspace along the western side of this property which would be adjacent to the
20' alley. He added that they have in effect a written contract with the school
to donate 40' on the south side which they will do if it is acceptable to the
City Attorney. However, he would hesitate to enter into some other agreement
that might be construed to be an additional 40' dedication. He stated that they
also have some hesitancy about the alcohol restrictions which would be a
prohibition on this particular piece of property that is not going to be on most
similar pieces of property in Fayetteville.
Commissioner Tarvin stated that a lot of people are concerned about the proximity
of alcohol sales to the school. He asked whether they would accept the rezoning
if the Commission did recommend on that basis. Mr. Wright requested time to
confer with Mrs. Parsons on whether this would be acceptable.
Commissioner Allred asked if once a bill of assurance is executed, could it be
brought back before the Commission or the Board of Directors for an amendment or
change at some future point. Mr. Merrell stated that any bill of assurance can
be taken back to the Planning Commission by the same owner or a future owner to
ask for an amendment. It would go on to the Board of Directors for final
approval.
Commissioner Nickle questioned why they are waiting on whether the applicant will
accept what the Planning Commission recommends. Chairman Hanna advised that
there is a legal ramification. If the applicant doesn't voluntarily offer the
bill of assurance with these conditions, what the Planning Commission is voting
on wouldn't have any weight.

After conferring with Mrs. Parsons, Mr. Wright stated that the owners of the
propertywould accept the conditions put forth in the motion.
The motion was seconded by Allred.
Mr. Merrell asked if the intent of the Commission is not to include the provision
for tree protection as part of the bill of assurance. Commissioner Cato stated
that he left out the provision for the trees. He added that he would very much
like the City to develop a tree ordinance. However, in the absence of one, it
isn't particularly fair for them to pick and choose which properties they wish
to try and force a tree ordinance on.
The motion passed 5-3-0 with Allred, Britton, Cato, Hanna, & Tarvin voting "yes"
and Cleghorn, Nickle, & Springborn voting "no".
Chairman Hanna advised that this rezoning petition will go on to the Board of
Directors for final approval.
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF A REPLAT OF LOT 4 OF VANTAGE SQUARE, UNIT 2
JIM LINDSEY - NE CORNER OF PARR VIEW DRIVE & JOYCE STREET
The third item on the agenda was a preliminary plat of a replat of lot 4 of
Vantage Square Subdivision submitted by Tom Hopper of Crafton, Tull, & Associates
on behalf of Jim Lindsey for property located on the northeast corner of Joyce
Street and Park View Drive. The property is zoned R -O, Residential -Office,
containing 7.59 acres with 7 proposed lots.
Don Bunn, City Engineer, stated that this is a replat of a lot in an existing
subdivision dividing it into 7 lots ranging in size from .6 acres to 3.3 acres.
He noted that this land may be developed as offices or single-family and two-
family dwellings. There were no significant issues raised at the Plat Review
meeting. The staff recommends approval of the replat subject to the Plat Review
comments, payments of parks fees wherever lots may be developed as residential,
and construction of sidewalks as required by the ordinance.
In answer to a question from Chair Hanna, Mr. Bunn advised that lot 4A has
frontage on Park View Drive so it would not be a tandem lot.
Commissioner Britton stated that the staff had brought up the possibility that
these lots would need to be at least one acre in size to be developed as offices.
Becky Bryant stated that she had been incorrect about that - the one acre minimum
would not apply in this case.
MOTION
Commissioner Springborn moved to approve the preliminary plat subject to Plat
Review and staff comments, seconded by Nickle. The motion passed 8-0-0.
FINAL PLAT OF ZION PLACE SUBDIVISION
JOHN LARGENT - W.C. #87 (OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS)
The fourth item on the agenda was a final plat of Zion Place Subdivision
submitted by Mel Milholland of Milholland Engineers on behalf of John Largent for
property located on Washington County Road 87 outside of the City Limits. The
property contains 80 acres with 16 proposed lots.
Don Bunn, City Engineer, stated that their were no significant issues raised at
the Plat Review meeting. There was some questions from the neighboring property
owners regarding drainage at the time the preliminary plat was approved. Those
concerns were taken care of. Also, the City of Springdale has given the City

•

of Fayetteville written permission to serve that part of lot 16 which is actually
in the City Limits of Springdale. The staff recommends approval of the final
plat subject to Plat Review comments, approval of plans for the water service,
and Washington County & City of Springdale approval.
Commissioner Britton stated that these look like they are all tandem lots. Mr.
Bunn advised that since this is outside the City Limits, the City zoning
ordinances would not apply. He noted that they do all have 60 feet of frontage
on a county road which is required by the County.
Commissioner Nickle referred back to a development which was approved in the
recent past located off of Highway 45 which was a maze of tandem lots. He
stated that he doesn't know at what point they should require a certain property
be developed as a subdivision under the regular subdivision regulations. He
noted that he looks at this type of development as avoidance of the subdivision
regulations. He strongly believes that this isn't the way to development land.
The tandem lot is meant for a much smaller piece of property.
John Merrell, Planning Management Director, stated that he agrees with
Commissioner Nickle and he thinks that they need to take a long hard look at the
subdivision regulations, because a development which is a patchwork of tandem
lots is contrary to the spirit and intent of the subdivision regulations.
Commissioner Britton stated that she thinks of tandem lots more as infill rather
than original development. In this case, the City doesn't have any regulation
over it in the growth area.
Commissioner Springborn stated that it seems to him that tandem lots were
originally devised to accommodate unusual terrain situations.
MOTION
Commissioner Cleghorn moved to approve the final plat, seconded by Springborn.
The motion passed 7-1-0 with Britton, Springborn, Allred, Nickle, Cato, Hanna,
& Cleghorn voting "yes" and Tarvin voting "no".
FINAL PLAT OF FOREST HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION (FORMERLY OAK HILL SUBDIVISION)
GEORGE FAUCETTE - N OF SYCAMORE ST, E OF GREGG AVE
The fifth item on the agenda was a final plat of Forest Heights Subdivision
submitted by Harry Gray of Northwest Engineers on behalf of George Faucette for
property located on the north side of Sycamore and east of Gregg. The property
is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains 7.96 acres with 24 proposed
lots.
Don Bunn, City Engineer, stated that there were no significant comments at the
Plat Review meeting. There was a modification of an easement requested which
was granted by the owner. The staff recommends approval of the final plat
subject to the Plat Review comments; approval of the water, sewer, streets, &
drainage plans; payments of parks fees; and construction of the sidewalk. He
added that the final plat doesn't indicate it but there is an alley across one
or more of these lots which will be going before the Board of Directors for a
vacation request. Mr. Gray stated that it runs between lots 7 & 8 and lots 17
& 18 and approval of this plat will be subject to that vacation being approved.
Mr. Bunn advised that the original subdivision was platted in 1907.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Tarvin, Mr. Bunn advised that a waiver
of the maximum length of the cul-de-sac was granted at the preliminary stage.
Commissioner Britton asked why Forest Heights was connected to Sycamore with the

crook in the street. Mr. Gray stated that it was done that way to establish a
better grade.
MOTION
Commissioner Nickle moved to approve the final plat subject to the staff's
comments and Plat Review comments, seconded by Britton. The motion passed 8-0-0.
LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT
TIM DAVIS - NW CORNER OF PORTER RD & SYCAMORE ST
The sixth item on the agenda was a large scale development plan of a townhouse
development submitted by Dennis Becker of Design Direction Architects on behalf
of Tim Davis for property located on the northwest corner of Porter Road and
Sycamore Street. The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential, and
contains 6 acres.
Don Bunn, City Engineer, stated that there were no significant problems raised
by any of the utility companies. Sewer is on the site and doesn't present a
problem. Water is available from Porter Road and Sycamore Street. The fire
chief has requested two additional hydrants to meet the Fire Code in addition to
the two existing fire hydrants: one at the northwest corner of the development
and one at the northeast corner. He also recommends that a fire hydrant be
placed between buildings 8 & 9 although it isn't a requirement. Off-site
improvements are required and include improving one-half of Sycamore Street and
one-half of Porter Road to city street standards and the construction of a
sidewalk on Porter. A bill of assurance will be accepted on the street
construction. The staff recommends construction of the sidewalk on Porter Road
at this time. The staff recommends approval of the large scale development
subject to the Plat Review comments, dedication of an additional 10 feet of
right-of-way off Porter Road & an additional 5 feet of right-of-way off of
Sycamore Street, a bill of assurance for construction of one-half of Porter Road
& Sycamore Street to city street standards, construction of a sidewalk along
Porter Road, and payment of the park fees.
Dennis Becker, representing the owners, stated that they would go along with the
bill of assurance on the improvement of Porter Road and a bill of assurance for
the sidewalk along Porter. He stated that there is an expensive culvert under
Porter Road and a drainage ditch parallel to Sycamore. He noted that he checked
the site numerous times during the heavy rains and there was no water running
through two culverts under Porter. After the snow melt down, one of the
culverts had 1 1/2 inches of water in the base of it. He stated that they
aren't asking to remove the culverts, but they would like to hire some engineers
to verify the runoff condition to determine what has happened upstream. He
stated that they are asking the Commission to let them verify what is going on
in that area. As far as the fire hydrants, with the two additional fire
hydrants along with the existing fire hydrants, the maximum coverage is 240 feet
in any direction. Therefore, they would not plan to install one between
buildings 8 & 9.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Nickle, Mr. Bunn stated that there is
an existing hydrant at the corner of Sycamore and Porter and one on to the west
in front of the Life Styles building. With the two new hydrants, it will meet
the Code, according to the Fire Chief.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Britton, Mr. Becker stated that they
don't want to construct the sidewalk now because it wouldn't take any traffic
anywhere. It makes more sense to do it when the street is improved and include
it in with the bill of assurance.

Commissioner Tarvin stated that it doesn't seem that there is enough room to
build a ditch along side building 12 on the west side where they have two 48"
culverts shown. Mr. Becker stated that is one of the reasons they were looking
at the runoff because there isn't enough water to indicate the necessity for two
48" culverts. He advised that the two 42" culverts on Porter Road are existing.
Commissioner Britton stated that the paving of the parking lots and the roof tops
are going to be collectors and notthe water.
pe"�e
Mr. Bunn stated that he agrees a drainage study would be beneficial in this case
to find out what is happening. Mr. Becker said they are only asking to do a
engineering study for the City review and propose some changes if that is the
case. He stated that they aren't asking to be alleviated from taking care of
the drainage.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Tarvin, Mr. Becker stated that they do
want the Commission to act on it at this meeting. Commissioner Tarvin stated
that he doesn't think any of them have asked him to put in two 48" culverts.
But how can they approve this and then have it change. Mr. Becker stated that
it may change slightly, but they won't be changing the number of units, etc.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Allred, Mr. Becker stated that they
don't want the item tabled but would like to have a valid study done before they
put in the culverts.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Allred, Mr. Bunn stated that approval
of a large scale development shouldn't be any different than approval of a
subdivision. Drainage plans aren't approved for a subdivision before they a
preliminary plat is approved. This large scale development can be approved
subject to approval of the drainage plans by the City.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Springborn, Mr. Becker stated that
they would contract a licensed engineering firm to do the study and pay for this
study themselves.
Frank Conners, who lives on Megan Drive which is quite a distance south of this
property, stated that he moved here from Little Rock a few months ago to get away
from certain conditions there. He noted that he has a house in Little Rock that
he can't sell because the area around it has apartments and multi -unit
townhouses. In answer to questions from Mr. Conners, Chairman Hanna stated
that R-2 allows up to 24 multi -family units per acre. Mr. Conners stated that
with this development there is a potential for more crime, noise, and traffic
problems. He stated that he would not be opposed to having single-family homes
at this location, but he is worried that the apartments will devalue his
property. He stated that the first notice he had about this was about 1 1/2
weeks ago when the date of the meeting had already passed.
Mr. Bunn stated that the City would not have required notification
owners as far away as Megan Drive. This notification Mr. Conners
of must have came from the neighbors or possibly the owner but not

is speaking
the City.
Chairman Hanna advised that this property have been zoned R-2 for a long time.
Therefore, the use of this property isn't a consideration at this meeting. The
Planning Commission is only considering their plan for the development to make
sure it meet the ordinances.
In answer to a question from Mr. Conners, John Merrell stated that this property
came to the Planning Commission for a rezoning last year. It was approved
subject to a bill of assurance that limited the density to twelve units per acre
which was executed by the owner of the property at that time. This proposed

development meets that twelve units per acre restriction.
Joe Todd, who lives in the area, stated that he had moved here from Little Rock
where there is an over abundance of apartments. The old ones are being taken
over by crack dealers or being torn down at the City's expense. He stated that
he sees steps that Fayetteville is taking that are in Little Rock's footsteps.
MOTION
Commissioner Nickle moved to approve the large scale development plan subject to
the staff recommendations, the independent drainage study done by a registered
engineer being accepted by the City Engineer and alterations to the drainage made
accordingly, seconded by Springborn. The motion passed 8-0-0.
LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PLAN & CONDITIONAL USE FOR PARADISE VIEW APARTMENTS
JIM LINDSEY - W OF CROSSOVER RD, SOUTH OF JOYCE ST
The seventh and eighth items on the agenda were a large scale development plan
for Paradise View Apartments and a conditional use for apartments in an R-0 zone
submitted by Tom Hopper of Crafton, Tull, & Associates on behalf of Jim Lindsey
for property located on the west side of Crossover Road, south of Joyce Street.
The property is zoned R-0, Residential -Office, and contains 9.76 acres more or
less.
John Merrell, Planning Management Director, stated that the property is zoned R -O
which allows for offices and a variety of other uses. The owner wishes to
develop a 132 -unit apartment complex on this property for a density of about 13.5
apartments per acre. The staff has given considerable thought to what they
envision for this area in general. They took a look at the overall strategy
and they do feel that this fits into that strategy. The request is for a
conditional use to allow the apartment complex in R-0. The staff's main concern
is the ingress/egress because there is only one provision for a street going into
the apartment complex. The staff would feel more comfortable if there were two
points of access or a through street to the west possibly to Old Wire Road.
The recommendation is that this request be tabled now unless some information
comes up during the meeting that will alleviate those concerns.
Jim Lindsey, petitioner, submitted an aerial photo which shows this location in
relationship to the golf course and surrounding properties. He noted that they
are having an extremely hard time in finding another exit. He noted that when
this was rezoned to R-0, apartments were allowed in the R -O zoning. Since then
the ordinance has been changed. The R-0 zoning equates to an R-3 zone which
allows 40 units to the acre and this project will only have 13 units. He added
that they might be able to put a drive around the back side of the complex but
direct access to another location would be impossible. He noted that a master
plan of the Park Apartments has 360 units with two access drives and there isn't
a traffic problem there now with 260 units. He noted that they have no other
solution unless a stop light would be acceptable if a traffic problem developed.
There is a single-family residential development be done to the south. The
golf course is to the west. He noted that Mr. Hopper has explored every
possibility on how they could find an access.
Tom Hopper stated that he doesn't see a good viable alternative access to the one
they have planned. Mr. Lindsey stated that he is aware of the fact that it is
pertinent to have two accesses where it is allowable, but they ask that they be
allowed to develop this with one entrance.
In answer to a question from Chair Hanna, Mr. Lindsey stated that the people who
live here would have access to the golf course only by a separate arrangement.

In answer to a question from Commissioner Nickle, Mr. Lindsey stated that a left -
turn lane in the entrance would be an option which could alleviate some of the
traffic back up. He added that they have gotten verbal approval from the State
Highway Department to rework the current railing situation to give more radius.
He advised that if they have room for a left-hand turn, he would certainly be
agreeable to that. Mr. Hopper stated that there is room to put in a left-hand
turn. He added that, based on the observation of traffic coming in and out of
the Park Apartments on Joyce Street, they haven't seen the justification for it.
Mr. Merrell stated that the left-hand turn lane would be a good compromise for
the situation. The staff feels that the Planning Commission needs to be very
careful in approving large scale developments along Crossover Road because it is
a very sensitive area. There are several nice single-family homes fronting
directly on Crossover Road and in subdivisions off of it.
Chair Hanna stated that, with a left -turn lane, the drive coming out of this
project would be three lanes instead of two.
Commissioner Britton asked if there is a limitation on how many units can be on
a cul-de-sac. Becky Bryant stated that the recommendation of the Institute of
Traffic Engineers is that it be defined so that there are no more than 250
vehicle trips per day on a cul-de-sac. The average apartment has 6.6 vehicle
trips per day so it is determined by the number of units. Theoretically, the
limit should be 38 apartment units or 25 houses on a cul-de-sac. A house
generates 10 vehicle trips per day. If these houses were on large lots, the cul-
de-sac would be larger than if they were on minimal lots.
Commissioner Britton stated that she
amounts to a cul-de-sac. She stated

that there be alternate routes to get
way around the development.

Mr. Lindsey stated that they have an existing drive that goes back to the
caretaker's house behind this property which they would be willing to tie into
the back parking lot for some relief.
Commissioner Springborn stated that he is in favor of the alternate way out.
Mr. Merrell stated that the left-hand lane that has been discussed looks like a
good compromise to alleviate some of the traffic problem. He added that given
the layout of the golf course, the development of the land to the north, and the
plans for development of the land to the south, it doesn't seem that there is a
possibility for another access point.
MOTION
Commissioner Nickle moved to approve the large scale development plan subject to
the construction of a left -turn lane in the access area for a total of three
lanes at the entrance, to the existing driveway being hard surfaced to allow for
a loop inside the complex, and to the staff's comments that aren't pertinent to
the access, seconded by Springborn. The motion passed 8-0-0.
MOTION
Commissioner Britton moved to grant the conditional use for apartments in an R -O
zone, seconded by Tarvin. The motion passed 8-0-0.

CONDITIONAL USE (CU91-1) FOR A HOME OCCUPATION (LAW OFFICE) IN AN R-1 ZONE
WILLIAM GEORGE MYERS - 306 ADAMS
The ninth item on the agenda was a conditional use request (CU91-1) for a home
occupation (law office) in an R-1 zone submitted by William George Myers for
property located at 306 Adams.
John Merrell, Planning Management Director, stated that the applicant has
requested a conditional use for a home occupation for a law office in his
residence. The staff is recommending approval subject to continuing compliance
with the terms of the home occupation ordinance. These type of requests usually
have very little impact on the surrounding neighborhood. He noted that there
was one individual who called and expressed opposition to the conditional use.
There being no one else wanting to speak, the public hearing was closed.
MOTION
Commissioner Tarvin moved to grant the conditional use, seconded by Britton. The
motion passed 8-0-0.
OTHER BUSINESS
Subdivision Committee Vice -Chairman
Chair Hanna stated that Commissioner Springborn has asked to be relieved of his
duties as Vice -Chairman of the Subdivision Committee because of another
commitment. That leaves the remaining members Joe Tarvin-Chairman, Chuck
Nickle, and Jack Cleghorn. He noted that instead of appointing another person
for the Subdivision Committee at this time, they will let the incoming chairman
of the Planning Commission to do. Jack Cleghorn was appointed as the Vice -
Chairman of the Subdivision Committee.
Election of the New Officers of the Planning Commission
Chair Hanna stated that the election of the new officers takes place annually in
February. He suggested that they make it a part of their bylaws that the
Chairman could not serve two terms in a row so that all members have a chance.
In his opinion, the Chairman should automatically step down and be a member of
the nominating committee. He asked the members to think about that and
possibly make that motion at the next meeting. He appointed Jana Britton,
Jett Cato, and himself as the nominating committee members who will be bringing
a slate of members for Chairman, Vice -Chairman, & Secretary to the next meeting.
No Meeting on January 28th
John Merrell advised that their haven't been any items submitted for the January
28th meeting date so the next meeting will take place in February.
Complementing Chairman
Commissioner Springborn complemented Chairman Hanna for his good work as Chairman
during 1990.
Resignation of Gerald Klingaman
John Merrell advised that the staff has received a letter of resignation from
Commissioner Gerald Klingaman.

Lot Split Application
Becky Bryant (Associate Planner) advised that, in view of the recent concern
expressed, the staff has changed the lot split process to require notification
of the adjoining property owners by mail. No sign will be posted on the
property, however, because the staff doesn't have any lot split signs. There
has also been a question added to the application about whether there are
subdivision covenants applicable to the lot split.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
