FAYETTEVILLE • THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE. ARKANSAS DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission THRU: Alett Little, Planning Director FROM: Tim Conklin, Associate Planner DATE: July 30, 1993 SUBJECT: SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE SIDEWALK REVISION At the Subdivision Committee meeting of July 29, 1993, staff was directed to immediately revise the current Subdivision Ordinance sidewalk requirements. Staff has drafted a revision to the Subdivision Ordinance which would now require sidewalks to be placed on both sides of all streets and cul-de-sacs and require all sidewalks be installed concurrently with streets, curbs, and gutters. There are three reasons why these changes have been requested: 1. "Gaps" within sidewalks are occurring in subdivisions because some lots are not being developed or are being developed over several years. 2. Most individuals that use sidewalks located within cul-de-sacs would • like to be able to walk on both sides of the street without having to turn around and walk down the same side of the street 3. Sidewalks constructed on one side of the street create a safety problem because children, elderly individuals, and others living on the side without the sidewalk must cross the street to get to the sidewalk. Currently, sidewalks are the responsibility of the individual lot owner at the time the building permit is issued and are required along one side of local streets and along both sides of collector and arterial streets. Staff recommends the Planning Commission pass a motion recommending the City Council approve an ordinance revision. PROPOSED ORDINANCE N0. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 159.30(E) OF THE FAYETTEVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES MAKING SIDEWALK INSTALLATION A REQUIREMENT ALONG BOTH SIDES OF ALL STREETS AND CUL-DE-SACS, INCLUDING THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE VEHICULAR TURNAROUND, AND REQUIRING ALL SIDEWALKS BE INSTALLED CONCURRENTLY WITH STREETS, CURBS AND GUTTERS. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS: Section 1. Section 159.30(E) of the Code of Fayetteville is hereby amended by inserting the following in place of the original requirement. • • Sidewalks shall be installed, according to existing City Standards and specifications as adopted by the City Council, along both sides of all streets and cul-de-sacs, including the entire circumference of the vehicular turnaround in the cul-de-sac. All sidewalks shall be set(4)four feet back from the curb The Construction of all sidewalks shall be inspected by the street superintendent to insure compliance with City specifications. All sidewalks shall be installed by the developer(s)/owner(s) of the subdivision at the time streets, curbs and gutters are constructed. FAYETTEVILLE • THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE. ARKANSAS DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE • • TO: THRU: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Fayetteville Planning Commission Alett Little, Planning Director Tim Conklin, Associate Planner August 4, 1993 OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR JOYCE BOULEVARD/71B INTERSECTION AS AUTHORIZED UNDER SECTION 159.33 OF THE FAYETTEVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES. The off-site improvement area used to determine the developer proportionate share of the costs of off-site intersection improvements to Joyce Boulevard and 71B (North College Avenue)is shown on attachment A. This area is based on a radius of 1933 feet out from the center of the intersection. Using this radius, the area extends to the north almost up to Zion Road and to the south to the By-pass interchange. This radius is just over a 1/3 of a mile. Staff has used this radius because it encompasses an area that is accessed primarily through this intersection. Existing intersection capacity currently is at its maximum capacity with existing development located within the designated area. Any additional development in the area designated will have a direct impact on this intersection which will result in needed improvements. It should be noted that future development in the area will not be paying for any improvements to rectify any existing shortfalls in the existing capacity of this intersection, nor will existing development be required to contribute to intersection improvements unless they do so voluntarily. Only new development will be paying its proportionate share of the needed improvements which are directly attributable to the development. Off-site improvements are based on the total acreage in the designated area that will directly benefit from the intersection improvements and will be based on a per/acre cost. In order for the improvements to be made, the City will also have to bear a proportionate share.

(A) (1) Generally; required of subdivider. The subdivider shall be required to install off-site improvements, where the need for such improvements is created in whole or in part by the proposed subdivision. For purposes of this section, an off-site improvement shall mean any improvement listed in §§ 159.30 or 159.31 of these regulations which is to be installed on property located outside the proposed subdivision. (2) Any required off-site improvements shall be installed according to city standards; provided off- site improvements to roads located outside the city's corporate limits but within the city's planning area shall be installed to county standards. The subdivider shall be required to bear that portion of the cost of off-site improvements which bears a rational nexus to the needs created by the subdivision. (3) Al the time the Planning Commission grants preliminary plat approval, the Planning Commission shall determine whether the proposed subdivision creates a need for off-site improvements - and the portion of the cost of any needed off-site improvements which the subdivider shall be required to bear; provided, that portion of the cost of off-site improvements to roads located outside the city's corporate limits but within the city's planning area shall be determined by the county. In determining that portion of the cost of off-site improvements which the subdivider shall be required to bear the Planning Commission shall consider the acreage within the proposed subdivision as a percentage of all the acreage which, when fully developed, will benefit from the on-site improvements; provided, the Planning Conunission may use a different method of measurement if it determines that use of the acreage standard will not result in the subdivider bearing that portion of the cost which bears a rational nexus to the needs created by the subdivision. (B) Delayed improvements. If the Planning Commission determines that a needed off-site improvement cannot be built until future development occurs, the subdivider shall pay to the city an amount determined by the Planning Commission in accordance with the standards prescribed in division (A) above to be the developer's proportionate share of the cost of said off-site improvements as of the date of final plat approval; provided, the subdivider may, with approval of the Board of Directors, guarantee payment of said amount so determined by 1991 S-1 Repl. executing a bill of assurance, or performance bond, in a form approved by the City Attorney; said bill of assurance shall be filed of record and shall be a covenant running with the land; said bill of assurance, or performance bond, shall provide for payment of interest on said amount at the rate of 10% per annum, and shall obligate the landowner to pay to the city the amount so determined by the Planning Commission within ten days from receipt of written notice from the city. The city shall deposit said money into an interest-bearing escrow account until such time as the off-site improvement is constructed. If the off-site improvement is not constructed within five years from the date of the fust payment into the escrow account by a subdivider, the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing, after notification to all affected property owners, to determine the disposition of all money in the escrow account. Following the public hearing, the Planning Conunission may: (1) Determine that the off-site improvement is still necessary and feasible and can be built within a reasonable time, in which case the escrow account shall be continued for a period specified by the Planning Conunission; or (2) Determine that the off-site improvement is not necessary, or will not be feasible, or that insufficient development has occurred to render the improvement likely in the foreseeable future, in which case the Planning Commission shall either: (a) Refund the money in the escrow account, with accumulated interest, to the subdividers who made the contributions; or (b) Distribute the money in the escrow account on a pro rata basis to the property owners who purchased lots in the subdivision(s) and the subdivider(s); or (c) With the written consent of a majority of the property owners who have purchased lots in the subdivision(s) and the subdivider(s), direct that money in the escrow account be utilized for a different purpose which will specifically benefit the neighborhood: (C) Determining necessity for off-site improvements. - (1) When a proposed subdivision has access to paved streets or roads only by way of substandard or unimproved roads or streets leading from the subdivision to the paved streets or roads, the subdivider shall be responsible for contributing his proportionate share of the cost of improving the substandard access roads or streets to existing city or county standards. The subdivider's proportionate *hare of said costs shall be determined by the Planning Commission in accordance with the provisions of division (A) above. (2) When a proposed subdivision has direct access to, or fronts on, an existing road or street which is below current standards, the subdivider shall be responsible for contributing his proportionate share of the cost of improving said street or road to existing city ar county standards. The Planning Commission shall determine the subdivider's proportionate share of said costs in accordance with the provisions of division (A) above. (3) Off-site drainage improvements shall be required whenever a proposed subdivision causes the need for such improvements. (D) Waivers. A subdivider may petition the Planning Commission for a waiver of off-site improvement requirements in whole or in part on one or more of the following grounds: (1) The city has no plans for upgrading the substandard street or road on which off-site improvements are proposed to be required by the subdivider. • (2) The proposed subdivision has primary access to improved streets or roads and the portion of the subdivision which fronts on a substandard street or road is so small or remote from anticipated future traffic patterns as to cause an unfair imposition on the subdivider. (3) The subdivider proposes alternative off-site improvements which will protect the health, safety and welfare of persons residing in the proposed subdivision and the surrounding area and equally benefit said persons. (4) The subdivider does not propose access to the proposed subdivision from an existing substandard street or road and proposes to provide access by way of streets or roads improved to current city or county standards. (E) OE -site improvements to state highways and highways maintained by the State Highway and Transportation Department. The subdivider shall be 1991 S-1 Repl. • required to dedicate sufficient right-of-way to bring those state highways which the master street plan shows to abut or intersect the proposed subdivision into conformance with the right-of-way requirements of the master street plan. The subdivider shall be required to install a sidewalk adjacent to that portion of a state highway abutting the proposed subdivision; provided, the subdivider shall be permitted to make a cash contribution in lieu of actual installation, which contribution shall be an amount equivalent to the estimated cost of constructing the required sidewalk as of the date of final plat approval; and, provided further, that the Planning Commission may waive the sidewalk requirement prescribed by this division upon application by the subdivider and a determination by the Planning Commission that the topography of the proposed subdivision where it abuts a state highway is such that installation of a sidewalk is not practical. No other improvements to state highways shall be required of the subdivider unless required by the State Highway and Transportation Commission or by Chapter 98. ('65 Code, App. C., Art. III, § A(4)) (Ord. 2293, passed 12-7-76; Am. Ord. 2361, passed 7-19-77; Am. Ord. 2570, passed 10-16-79; Arn. Ord. 2860, passed 10-5-82) § 159.34 GUARANTEES rig LIEU OF INSTALLED IMPROVEMENTS. (A) The Planning Commission may approve the final plat of a subdivision prior to the installation of all the required improvements ff the subdivider: (1) Deposits cash or a performance bond. Such deposits of cash or a performance bond with the city shall be in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the improvements as determined by the City Engineer or other city official for the entire subdivision or portion thereof. Upon satisfactory completion of the improvements, the subdivider may withdraw any deposit made. (2) Enters into an agreement or contract with the city. If the subdivider chooses to begin his construction program or to sell lots within the subdivision prior to the installation of the required improvements, he may enter into a written agreement with the city, which shall include but not be limited to the following conditions: (a) The final plat is otherwise approvable by the Planning Commission. (b) The required improvements shall be installed, if all the improvements have not been
