Comfort Road and Crystal Drive without the need to connect Woodlark Lane, a residential street; and WHEREAS, the neighborhood served by Woodlark, Quail, Dove, Meadowlark and Raven has requested that Woodlark not be connected to the north through its current cul-de-sac. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE,ARKANSAS: Section 1: That the City Councilof the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby grants the appeal of the approval of Preliminary Plat 06-1977 (Crystal Springs Phase IV), but approves a slightly modified Preliminary Plat for PPL 06-1977 (Crystal Springs Phase IV) which removes the street connection from the north end of Woodlark to Street B between lots 33 and 34, but retains a five foot wide sidewalk connection at this location. An additional condition of approval to PPL 06-1977 is also added which requires the construction of the bridge crossing Clabber Creek to the north to be completed and accepted by the City with Phase I and 1I of the subdivision and prior to the construction of any house within the subdivision.

Pate, Director of Current Planning Date: May 12, 2006 Subject: Alderman Appeal of Crystal Springs IV (PPL 06-1977) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommended and the Planning Commission approved with a vote of 7-2-0 a preliminary plat for Crystal Springs Subdivision Phase IV (PPL 06-1977), with conditions of approval as noted in the staff report. BACKGROUND A masterplan of development for the overall Crystal Springs Development has been in place since the early 1990s. Almost every phase of Crystal Springs Development has been appealed or challenged; all have been upheld (or amended) by the City.Council as meeting applicable city ordinances. Phase I consisted of 112 lots accessed off of Salem Road, in an area that was in the county at the time of submittal in 1993. With this initial phase, the developer donated approximately 20 acres to the Fayetteville School District, on which Holcomb Elementary is now located. An additional 15.45 acres was dedicated in 1994 to the City for parkland; the Parks and Recreation Board and 'Planning. Commission accepted land that would meet the requirements for a total of 575 single family residential lots in all of the future Crystal Springs phases. Gary Hampton Softball Field complex was constructed in 2000-2001 on this property, and is enjoyed by the neighborhoods that have since developed in this rapidly growing area. Crystal Springs 11 and 111 have been developed/platted north of Clabber Creek, and consist.of 14 and 101 lots, respectively. The applicant received approval by the Planning Commission of PPL 06-1977 for Crystal Springs IV, the final phase of a planned residential development north of Mount Comfort Road, south of Clabber Creek. This final phase consists of 273 single family lots on 85 acres, to be constructed in six (6) phases. Based on the amount of lots proposed and future traffic generation, staff recommended significant off-site improvements to be constructed as part of this project. Most significantly, this includes a crossing of Clabber Creek to the north, which will distribute traffic and thereby decrease dependency of use on Mount Comfort Road, which is an unimproved street at this time. This bridge crossing is anticipated to be close to $500,000 in cost, and will include trail crossings along Clabber Creek. No cost-share by the city for this significant street improvement is recommended by staff. Other off-site improvements recommended include an assessment for a turn lane at Raven Lane and Mount Comfort Road, the removal of existing City Council Mec_.,:g of June 06, 2006 Agenda Item Number temporary cul-de-sacs and installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk, etc. to make adequate street connections and the installation (at the developer's cost) of four (4) speed tables within Birdhaven Terrace Subdivision, south of the planned development to alleviate any future speeding within the established neighborhood. Two streets within Birdhaven Terrace currently provide access to the subject 85-acre parcel, including the Collector Street Raven Lane, and will be continued into the development in the first phase, which contains a maximum of 58 lots. Staff's recommendation to the Planning Commission also included the Clabber Creek crossing to occur at minimum with the second phase of development, which ensures that a maximum of 58 homes (and the traffic generated therefrom) can be constructed before the north connection is completed. DISCUSSION Staff has spoken with numerous residents in this area, primarily those residing in Bird Haven Terrace to the south of Crystal Springs IV or on Gooseberry Lane. The resounding concern has been the detrimental impact of through traffic within the established neighborhood and expected congestion and delays on Mount Comfort Road without significant improvements. Staff recognized the impact on these neighborhoods, and made recommendations to the Planning Commission for the developer to make improvements which would be considered roughly proportional to the impact of the development, as required by city ordinance. Five persons spoke at the Planning Commission meeting, and all written comments are included in the attached reports. The Planning Commission also questioned staff as to future improvements of Mount Comfort Road. As noted at recent Street Committee meetings, a bond program for improvements to streets, including Mt. Comfort Road, is being discussed. This is a decision to be made by the City Council and ultimately by voters, however, and can not be 'depended upon as of right now to occur. At this time, staff is recommending assessments for most developments that have an impact on Mount Comfort Road and are not contributing in other ways to alleviate the impact that additional traffic created by their proposal is having on existing infrastructure. This decision to take assessments instead of piecemeal improvements along Mt. Comfort is relatively recent, and is in part an effort to plan for comprehensive improvements to Mt. Comfort Road as has been discussed in meetings with the Street Committee. It must be noted, however, that staff does not at this time depend whatsoever on planned improvements by the City to offset the contributions a developer must make. Our ordinances direct us to recommend to the Planning Commission the improvement that would be proportional to the development requested. A future Capital project to improve Mt. Comfort Road may be forthcoming, and may not. With that in mind, staff recommended significant improvements for this development to increase connectivity between neighborhoods and decrease dependency upon Mt. Comfort Road as the only means of east-west access in the area. BUDGETIMPACT None. PC Meeting of May 08, 2006 ARKA N:S'A S THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS 125 W. Mountain St. Fayetteville,AR 72701 PLANNING DIVISION CORRESPONDENCE Telephone:(479)575-8267 TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission FROM: Suzanne Morgan, Current Planner Matt Casey, Staff Engineer THRU: Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning DATE: May 3, 2006 PPL 06-1977: Preliminary Plat(CRYSTAL SPRINGS IV,285): Submitted by MEL MILHOLLAND for property located at N OF MT. COMFORT RD.,AT THE N END OF RAVEN LANE. The property is zoned RSF-4, SINGLE FAMILY - 4 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 85.18 acres. The request is for a residential subdivision with 273 single- family lots. Planner: SUZANNE MORGAN Findings: Property: The subject property contains approximately 85.18 acres located north of Bird Haven Terrace,north of Mount Comfort Road. This property is zoned RSF-4. The applicant proposes to create a 273 single-family lot subdivision (with an additional unbuildable lot), a density of 3.2 units per acre, within six phases of development. A bridge connection is proposed to Raven Lane within Crystal Springs Phase III,which cost and construction is the burden of the developer. A masterplan of the overall Crystal Springs development, including this property,has been in place since the early 1990s. This developer, with the initial phase of Crystal Springs, donated land for parks and schools in this area. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: Direction I Land Use Zoning Single family residential (Crystal Springs Phase III), RSF-4 North Clabber Creek Single family residential (Bird Haven Terrace, Mt RSF-4 South Comfort Addition, Crofton Manor) East Golf Course RSF-1 West Vacant—Pasture RSF-1 Water and Sewer: Water and sewer lines shall be extended to serve the proposed development. Adjacent Master Street Plan Streets: Raven Lane, a Collector Street. Staff finds that the extension of Raven Lane is compliant with the Master Street Plan, as is the east-west Collector Street which will provide a future connection to McClaren Drive within Salem Heights Subdivision. K.Reports12006TC Reportsl05-08-061PPL 06-1977(Crystal Springs Ph.LV).doc Right-of-way to be dedicated: The majority of interior streets are proposed to be 42' rights-of- way with a 24' wide street and 4' sidewalks on both sides. Streets A, C, and D are 50' rights-of- way with 28' wide streets and sidewalks on both sides. The two interior Collector Streets (a portion of Street H and Raven Lane)will be dedicated with 70' right-of-way. Raven Lane is proposed to be extended between Crystal Springs Phase III and Phase IV through property owned by Crystal Springs LTD Partnership. Right-of-way for this streetibridge connection shall be dedicated by separate document prior to recordation of Phase II. Phasing: As proposed by the developer, the Phasing of the subdivision will occur with the following number of lots and street connections to existing infrastructure: Phase Number of Number of Street Stub-outs to the east Lots Connections to Existing and west for future Streets street connections I 58 2 (Raven Lane & Woodlark Lane) 1 (East II 19 1 (Raven Lane connection to the north) 0 III 43 0 0 IV 58 0 1 East V 35 0 0 VI 61 1 0 1 2 (West) Staff finds that the number of street connections made for each phase are adequate for the volume of traffic generated by the lots proposed. Connectivity: To the South (Phase I)_ Two street connections are proposed to the south, through Bird Haven Terrace Subdivision. The right-of-way for Woodlark Lane and Raven Lane were platted to the property line which would allow future right-of-way extension to the north. The connection to these streets has been shown. The existing cul-de-sacs shall be removed by the developer. Staff requested that the applicant explore the possibility of a street connection onto Gooseberry Lane located within Mount Comfort Addition, which would require the dedication of right-of- way on either side of the existing cul-de-sac. Staff received a petition from the neighbors within this subdivision stating their disagreement to a street connection; however, this petition did not include the signatures of the owners on either side of the cul-de-sac. The applicant stated that an informal discussion with Mr. Strange and Mr. Thompson who, according to the applicant, indicate a negative attitude to any development. Staff has met with the owners to discuss this connection, and Mr. Strange did attend one Subdivision Committee meeting and expressed his disagreement with a street connection to Gooseberry Drive. Another street connection would further dispense traffic in the area. Should the adjoining property owners agree to sell property to allow this street connection, staff would recommend such a connection. A street connection to Kenswick Avenue, located to the southwest of property within Crofton Manor Subdivision, will alleviate the volume of traffic through Bird Haven Subdivision. K.IReporta120061PC Reports 105-08-061PPL 06-1977(Crystal Springs Ph.IV).doc Kenswick Ave. was platted to be extended to the north. Staff recommended that the applicant obtain right-of-way to connect Street B to Kenswick Ave.prior to the recordation of an initial Phase of this development, also stating that if the applicant provides this connection to Kenswick Avenue, a connection to Gooseberry Lane is less desirable. Since the Subdivision Committee meeting on March 30, 2006, staff has met with the owner of the property to the west through which the street connection to Kenswick Avenue would occur. The owner has stated his opposition in this connection and submitted a letter regarding the matter(see attached). To the West(Phase VI): The applicant has provided two street connections to the west. The southern connection can eventually connect to Kenswick Ave. within the Crofton Manor Subdivision,just off-site of the property. The second western stub-out is shown as a Collector Street, per the Master Street Plan. This street will align with McClaren Drive, located within the Salem Heights Subdivision, at Salem Road. To the North (Phase II): The applicant proposes to construct Raven Street, a Collector Street, across Clabber Creek. The street will make a connection with the constructed Raven Lane within Crystal Springs Phase III. Staff recommends that this street connection occur no later than Phase II in order to provide sufficient connectivity to the north and potentially relieve some traffic exiting through Bird Haven Terrace onto Mount Comfort Road. Another connection to the north is not desirable, due to the presence of significant floodplain and floodway. To the East (Phase I and IV): Two street stub-outs are provided to the east—at the southeast and northeast corners of the subdivision. The property to the north and east is currently developed for a golf course. However, it may not remain undeveloped for this use and this amenity is not being utilized as a main feature within this subdivision with homes directed toward views of the golf course. If ever developed, traffic would have the ability to access the property via Deane Solomon Road and through the proposed subdivision. The street connection at the northeast corner of the property will provide a street connection to the north when the adjacent property develops. Traffic Calming: The applicant shall install two speed tables on both Raven Lane and Woodlark Lane at a location specified by the Transportation Division. Street Improvements: The applicant has submitted a traffic study to evaluate the effect of the additional 273 lots on the existing infrastructure. After review of the traffic study and current traffic demands, staff recommends the following street improvements: a. If the applicant is able to secure right-of-way for a connection to Kenswick Avenue in Crofton Manor Subdivision, the street connection of a 28' street with curb, gutter, storm drains, sidewalks and street lights shall be constructed with Phase VI of the development. The off-site dedication of 50' right-of-way by separate document should occur prior to the recordation of Phase VI. b. The installation of 4 speed tables (2 on Raven Lane and 2 on Woodlark Lane) to provide traffic calming. These speed tables shall be installed at a location approved by the Transportation Department prior to recordation of Phase I of the subdivision. C. The developer shall pay an assessment in the amount of$9,405.00 for a left turn K:IReporlsl200MPC ReportsW-08-06"L 06-1977(Crystal Springs Pd.!V).doc lane on Raven Lane for traffic accessing onto Mount Comfort prior to the recordation of Phase I. d. Construction of a bridge or crossing over Clabber Creek to connect the proposed subdivision to Crystal Springs Phase III to be completed prior to the recordation of Phase 11 of Crystal Springs Phase IV. e. The developer shall be responsible for the removal of the existing cul-de-sacs on Raven Lane and Woodlark Lane, into which the new streets will connect, and the extension of a minimum 28' street, curb, gutter, storm drain, and sidewalk(6' on Raven Lane and 4' on Woodlark Lane) to the cut-point as shown on the plat. The sidewalk shall extend beyond the cut point to tie into the existing sidewalk. The applicant shall reconstruct the existing driveways to connect to the new street, along with all soil, grass, etc. to reconstruct these yards. Staff is not recommending additional off-site improvements on Mount Comfort Road due to the significant cost associated with the construction of a crossing over Clabber Creek, for which a cost-share is not recommended. The applicant's engineer has estimated that the cost of the bridge will be from $488,000 to $560,000. This connection will alleviate traffic on Mount Comfort Road and will be utilized by residents in the area to move north and south. Tree Preservation: Existing: 9.9% Preserved: 5.8% Required: 9.9% Mitigation: Required—350 trees Parks: On July 15th 1994 a deed for 15.45 acres was received from Crystal Springs Limited Partnership satisfying the park land dedication requirements for this development. Below is a break down of the banked park land. o Phase I— Lots 1-112 = 112 units x .025 =2.8 acres o Phase I1—Lots 113-127 = 14 units x .025 = .35 acres o Phase III—Lots 128-229 =101 units x .025 =2.525 acres o Phase IV—274 SF units proposed x .025 = 6.85 Total Used=12.525 acres -2.925 acres remains. *Land calculations are based the 1994 ordinance amount of.025 acres per single family Unit. Clabber Creek Trail is identified on the Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trail Plan and is shown along the northern part of this development. The developer has agreed to donate all the land between the flood plain lines from the west property line to the east property line prior to approval of final plat. Additional land may be necessary to provide an at-grade trail crossing at Raven Lane. The additional land shall be approved by the Trails Coordinator. Public Comment: Many neighbors attended the Subdivision Committee meetings,voicing concerns regarding the project. The Planning Division has received numerous petitions, comments,post cards, and letters from surrounding property owners who are in opposition to the proposed development with most concerns addressing the increase in traffic and connections onto Woodlark Lane, Raven Lane and Goosberry Lane. These comments are available at the Planning Division. K:1Reporls12006W ReportA05-08-061PPL 06-7977(Crystal Springs Ph.LV).doc Background: This project was heard at the March 30, 2006 Subdivision Committee. It was tabled at this meeting to address the comments regarding the phasing, connectivity, street design, and other plat comments. The Subdivision Committee considered this preliminary plat again on April 27, 2006 at which meeting it was forwarded to the Planning Commission with recommendations. The discussion by the Subdivision Committee included the routing of construction traffic through Crystal Springs Phase III to avoid Bird Haven Terrace, the possibility of requiring repair to Raven Lane and Woodlark Lane if damaged during construction, the proposed block lengths, and traffic circulation around the proposed landscape islands on Raven Lane. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of PPL 06-1977 subject to the following conditions: Conditions of Approval: 1. Planning Commission determination of appropriate street connectivity. Stafffinds that the dedication of right-of-way to provide a street connection from Street B to Kenswick Avenue in Crofton Manor prior to the recordation of Phase II is essential to provide sufficient connectivity to Mount Comfort Road for this amount of lots.

This item is concerning the Crystal Springs S/D, PH. IV, 285. 1 am referencing the documents that resolved this issue concerning the Crystal Springs IV subdivision development in 2006.The documents can be found in the City of Fayetteville,AR files. Currently the subdivision developer has not met the current agreement agreed upon by Crystal Springs Developer and the Birdhaven Addition homeowners immediately south of the Crystal Springs IV development.The agreement was for a bridge to be built across Clabber Creek and it would be completed before any building started in Crystal Springs IV south of Clabber Creek. As of this date, no bridge has been built or even started.The agreement, also, stated that Woodlark Lane would not be opened up into Crystal Springs IV except for a five foot wide sidewalk(current cul de sac would remain a cul de sac). Howard Davis, Managing Partner,Crystal Springs Ltd. Partnership is proposing an Amendment to Master Street Plan Map.They are proposing as part of this change to eliminate the cul de sac and making Woodlark Lane into a through street. The above changes requested returns the Crystal Springs IV to the original development plan that was repealed by Resolution No. 113-06. 1 oppose any change or modification to the Woodlark Lane cul de sac now and in the future. I oppose any and all other changes being proposed or considered for Crystal Springs IV until the bridge across Clabber Creek is built as
