The property is zoned RSF-8, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 33.43 acres. The request is for a residential subdivision with 143 single family dwellings. Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning, gave the staff report. Pate explained the reasons for the Feb. 15 Subdivision Committee tabling the item, to discuss street connections to the north to the existing Persimmon Road from the project site. The Trails Coordinator had submitted a memo recommending not having an additional connection, due to the trail connection along Persimmon and the increased danger of a pedestrian crossing. Pate also discussed the street improvements associated with the project. Staff recommended forwarding the request to the full Planning Commission with a recommendation of approval with conditions. No public comment was presented. Jarrod Inman and Chris Brackett (applicant) was present for the applicant and stated they agreed with all staff recommendations. Commissioner Lack stated he was present at the Subdivision Committee at which this item was tabled, and was concerned then about connectivity to the old Persimmon. Lack stated that while property there now was not developing, 50 to 100 years from now things change and streets in the area may be needed. Lack also stated that he understands not having an additional trail crossing for safety, however. Commissioner Bryant asked staff to clarify where the raised concrete trail crossing would be for the trail. Pate indicated the location, at the intersection of Street 6 and Persimmon. Motion: Commissioner Bryant made a motion to forward the project with a recommendation for approval to the Planning Commission with the conditions of approval as recommended by staff. Commissioner Cabe seconded the motion. Commissioner Lack concurred, the motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0.

JESS ANDERSON RD., W OF 51ST/SUNSHINE. The property is in the Planning Area and contains approximately 69.40 acres. The request is to divide the subject property into three tracts of 8.80, 3.48 and 57.12. Jesse Fulcher, Current Planner, gave the staff report. The lot split request met all minimum requirements by the City.

Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning, stated to Mr. Callen that he could visit the Planning Offices at any time with his questions. Chris Bracket (applicant) gave the applicant's presentation, stated that he agreed with all conditions and would answer questions. Commissioner Bryant asked if there were any other access to the larger property than Jess Anderson Road. Bracket stated that was the existing access to this property. Commissioner Lack noted that a 54`h Street extension would, in the future, provide additional access for development of these tracts, should it occur.

Subdivision Committee May 03, 2007 Page 8 of 11 LSD 07-2550: Large Scale Development (C -QUAD MINI -STORAGE, 642): Submitted by MANDY BUNCH for property located at CITY LAKE ROAD -INDUSTRIAL PARK. The property is zoned I-1, HEAVY COMMERCIAL/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND I-2, GENERAL INDUSTRIAL, and contains approximately 6.57 acres. The request is for one office/warehouse building, two small office buildings, and a self -storage facility with office/living quarters with associated parking. Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning, gave the staff report. Staff stated a Conditional Use Permit had been approved by the Planning Commission for the proposed mini -storage use, and a different large scale was approved in the previous year by the Planning Commission. The current changes were from warehouse to mini -storage. A waiver request of Commercial Design Standards, due to the primarily metal buildings, required the item to go before the Planning Commission for final consideration. Staff recommended in favor of the waiver, finding it appropriate in the Industrial Park. Staff recommended forwarding the request with a recommendation for approval, with conditions. No public comment was presented. Sarah Patterson, Urban Forester, stated five trees are required for mitigation and that at the time of construction, she would like to be involved to determine if additional trees along the front could be saved to reduce the amount of street trees required to be planted. Mandy Bunch (applicant) stated the square feet of the building is a little different than that cited in the staff report, but everything else had been presented correctly. Commissioner Cabe stated he had not seen the project before, and requested to look at the materials sample board. A discussion of the metal paneling system ensued. Commissioner Lack stated the metal being used were likely architectural metal panels, as opposed to standard metal siding. Candy Clark (applicant) questioned if condition of approval number 11 should be modified to incorporate the more restrictive condition placed upon the project by the Conditional Use Permit, which only allows monument signs as freestanding signs. Pate explained the Conditional Use Permit would still be in effect, so it was not necessary, but it could be included. Clark thanked staff for allowing the sidewalk to meander around the trees. Patterson requested they contact staff at the time of construction Commissioner Lack stated this project was appropriate for the Industrial Park, and the design standards were fine. Subdivision Committee May 03, 2007 Page 9 of 11 Clark stated they were sensitive to the design standards and intentionally placed the mini - storage in the rear of the property, with offices near the street, and that aesthetics were important. Motion: Commissioner Bryant made a motion to approve the request with the conditions of approval as recommended by staff, finding in favor of the waiver request. Commissioner Cabe seconded the motion. Commissioner Lack concurred, the motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0. Pate asked the Committee if this item would be appropriate for the Planning Commission consent agenda. The Committee agreed to place the item on the Consent Agenda. Subdivision Committee May 03, 2007 Page 10 of 11 R- PZD 07-2531: Planned Zoning District (P.A.H. FACILITY, 21): Submitted by CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE for property located at IVEY LANE, 1/4 MILE E OF HWY 265. The property is zoned R -A, RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 3.00 acres. The request is for a 5,677 s.f. residential facility and associated parking. Jesse Fulcher, Current Planner, gave the staff report. The proposal is for a housing facility on 1.5 acres that was split out from a larger parcel. An additional 1.5 acres is to be retained as a buffer area, with tree preservation protection where necessary. Staff discussed the use of a septic system for this project, as sewer is not available to the area. The septic system would be located within an easement area, and the property would connect to sewer once it became available. Access to water and streets are through the City of Springdale. Staff recommended forwarding the PZD request to the Planning Commission with a recommendation for approval, with conditions. Sarah Patterson, Urban Forester, stated that nine trees are required for mitigation. The plans as currently shown indicate more than that required, and may be reduced. The buffer area along Ivy Lane would be within a Tree Preservation area, which would remove developmental rights. Jarvis Teague, an adjoining property owner to the north, stated he had discussed the project with others before, but wanted to confirm a few things with the Committee. Teague stated he liked the tree buffer, and questioned where the entrance to the property was in proximity to Hwy 265. Teague stated it looked like a nice -looking facility. James Guerra, Bates and Associates (applicant), presented the project as 5,677 SF building in Planning Area 1. Planning Area 2 is comprised of a tree buffer, with the exception of utility crossings. Agreed with staff recommendations and conditions. Commissioner Lack stated he had a couple of concerns with the project. Once concern was preservation of the trees adjacent to the waterline easement, and the fence that was to be constructed was very close to many of the trees. He stated that because of the amount of trees, however, that concern could be benign. Lack also was concerned with the description of the use of the facility, which seems more institutional as a hospital than residential like the surrounding properties, and requested from staff a better explanation of the uses proposed. Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning, deferred the description of the project to the applicant, and noted that United Way, a non-residential use, is adjacent to the property to the west. Hannah McNeill (applicant) gave a description of the project, stating it was a family shelter and transitional, short-term housing for people coming from abusive environments. The first half of the building is for counseling, staff, offices and support groups that meet occasionally at night. The second half of the building is for shelter. The biggest part of the facility is safety and security of the women and children being sheltered. Commissioner Lack inquired if there were to be any medical practice within. Subdivision Committee May 03, 2007 Page 11 of II McNeill responded no. Commissioner Lack stated the description helped a lot, and cleared up his concerns. Moreover, he applauded the nature of the facility as designed. Commissioner Bryant asked for clarification in the booklet on the 1.5 -acre site and the 1.5 -acre buffer, and why the booklet stated this was the reason the building was within the setback. Fulcher explained the agreement with the City to purchase the land (1.5 acres). A buffer easement of 1.5 acres surrounding the property was also part of the agreement, and at the time of sale of the overall property, the 1.5 acres buffer area may be deeded to the facility for a total 3 - acre tract. Pate concurred with this explanation, stating that only'/2 of the actual property is being developed with this property. Because only 1.5 acres is to be developed, all construction was occurring on that portion of the overall 3 acres, which would not meet standard zoning criteria. Motion: Commissioner Bryant made a motion to forward the request to the full Planning Commission with the conditions of approval as recommended by staff, finding in favor of the project. Commissioner Cabe seconded the motion. Commissioner Lack concurred, the motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0. All business being concluded, the meeting adjourned at 9:56 AM.
