VAC 08-2930: (WILMOTH / WELLSLEY PLACE, 409): Submitted by DAVE
JORGENSEN for property located at 1609 WELLSLEY PLACE. The property is zoned
RSF-4, SINGLE FAMILY - 4 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 0.20 acres.
The request is to vacate a portion of the utility easements on the subject property.
Planner: Dara Sanders
Findings:
Property Description and Background:: The subject property is located on a cul-de-sac,
Wellsley Place, northwest of Mission Boulevard. There is an existing 25' utility easement
and setback located at the front of the subject property, adjacent to Wellsley Place and a
10' drainage and access easement located along the west property line. Currently, the
structure encroaches 10' into the front setback and utility easement and 3' into a portion
of the drainage easement. Board of Adjustment approval of a variance from the front
setback requirements of the RSF-4 zoning district is required, in order to create a
conforming structure.
A building permit was issued in June 2003 for a single family house and garage,
containing 1,932 square feet, with a front setback of 25', a rear setback of 20', and two
side setbacks of 8'. However, the house was constructed 15 feet from the public right-of-
way with a wood deck located at the rear of the structure for a total of 2,196 square feet.
Evidently, after approval of the building permit, a deck was added to the rear of the
house, thereby pushing the house forward into the front setback and utility easement. The
applicant purchased the subject property in 2004 without knowing that the structure was
nonconforming.
Request: The applicant is requesting to vacate 10 feet of a utility easement along the
north side of the property and 5 feet of a drainage easement from the public right-of-way
south 30 feet, for a total area of 643 square feet to be vacated, in order to bring the
existing structure into conformance with City code. The applicant has submitted the
required notification forms to the utility companies and to the City with the result
summarized below.

ADM 08-2938: Administrative Item (PRATT PLACE INN C-PZD 05-1670, 481): Submitted by
JULIAN AND JANE ARCHER for property located at 2115 W. Markham Road. The property is
zoned C-PZD and contains approximately 72.00 acres. The request is to amend the zoning criteria to
allow certain freestanding signs, which are not the required monument signs.
Planner: JESSE FULCHER
BACKGROUND
The subject request was tabled at the request of the applicants at the previous Planning Commission
hearing on February 25, 2008.
Property Description and Background: The subject property consists of approximately 72.00 acres
located at 2115 W. Markham Road. The Fayetteville City Council approved C-PZD 05-1670 (Pratt
Place Inn) on November 1, 2005 for zoning and land use approval of a commercial development
with an inn, restaurant, cabins and accessory structures. The development consists of three (3)
Planning Areas, with all commercial development restricted to Planning Area 1. Planning Area 2
and 3 are restricted to agricultural uses.
In additional to specific development rights, three (3) monument' style signs were permitted to
advertise for the development; two not to exceed 6 sq. ft. and the other not to exceed 15 sq. ft. The
signs are restricted to three specific locations: the southwest corner of Sang and: Markham, the
northeast corner of Cross and Markham and the west end of Markham, respectively.
Not realizing the specific sign guidelines, or the requirement to obtain a sign permit prior to
installation, the owners have already installed the two 6 sq. ft. signs as depicted in the attached
photographs. Although the signs are in compliance with the size restrictions, the signs are not a
monument style sign. Rather, they are each attached between two trees with a chain, suspended in
the air. Additionally, one of the signs is located within Planning Area 2, which was not permitted
with the PZD.
Proposal: The applicants request a modification to the approved zoning criteria to allow certain
types of freestanding signs as noted herein and to permit a sign in Planning Area 2 in place of a

sign in Planning Area 3.

Variances: Chapter 156 of the Unified Development Code grants the Zoning and Development
Administrator certain variance authority regarding Chapter 174 Signs. These include variances of
setbacks, sign area, height, or other technical requirements. However, the Unified Development
Code does not grant the Zoning and Development Administrator, nor any other board or committee,
the authority to grant approval of signs which are prohibited by Chapter 174, or in this case, an
approved Planned Zoning District and its associated sign allowances.
RECOMMENDATION
The Pratt Place Inn development was approved to allow small ground mounted signage, which
would direct the general public and out-of-town patrons to the Pratt Place Inn property, while also
minimizing any adverse impacts to the exclusively residential character of the surrounding
neighborhood. Staff finds the signs which have been installed approximately 20' above surrounding
grade to be more invasive and objectionable than the small-scale, unobtrusive ground mounted signs
which were pe'rinitted by the City Council for this development. Freestanding 'signs of this nature are:
not permitted within any residential district in the City, and are compatible with the surrounding
environment. Therefore, staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to utilize freestanding
signs that are currently suspended in the area, and they shall immediately be removed.
Staff finds that relocating the permitted sign from Planning Area 3 to Planning Area 2 to be in
keeping with the intent of the approval, so long as the sign is installed as a monument sign.
Should the City Council approve either or both of the applicant's request, staff recommends the
following conditions of approval:
1. Freestanding signs shall be installed in accordance with the required setbacks for

freestanding signs, which are based on the height and size of said signs. This will result in
the existing signs being relocated further back from the Master Street Plan right-of-way than
currently installed, as they currently do not meet ordinance requirements. There is no
variance from this requirement to allow the existing signs in their current location.
2. A sign permit application shall be submitted for staff review and approval within 30 days of
the City Council's decision. Any sign not permitted shall be immediately removed.

Members of the Planning Commission
Members of the City Council
We would like to request that the signage conditions incltkl :d in the PZD
proposal which you approved for our Pratt Place Inn project be rrso.lified to accommodate
the signs that we put in place last month, not realizing that there dere specific signage
guidelines. These are two 2' by 3' signs (29 ''A" by 41" .including tie dimensions of the
frame), each suspended between two trees. Each sign is attached:to: a chain which is
attached to a bolt which runs through a nearby tree. The bolt hole s slightly larger than
the bolt so that the tree quickly grows around it and the bolt does'n;it harm the tree. You
can see for yourself either through the attached photos or by driving by that these are
unobtrusive signs that blend in well with the surrounding naturale: tvironment. We know
these signs are unconventional, but since the purpose of PZD zoriiug is to handle
unconventional requests we hope you will permit our having signs of this type.
Attached is a letter of January 15 addressed to Jerer iy Pate and Andrew
Garner giving more background on why we want signs placed intltese particular settings.
Sincerely,
de.:44t4L7,47

Dear Jeremy, Dear Andrew;
RECEIVED
JAN 1 5 2008
PLANNING DIV.
January 15, 2008
For the past year and a half we have been forced to run a punishing gauntlet
created by a few of our neighbors in an attempt to sabotage our Pratt Place Inn project,
for what reason is beyond imagining. Their efforts toward that end have not only made
our lives miserable at times, but have added tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of the
project unnecessarily. We thought we had finally made it throw and, in fact, several of
these neighbors have apologized for making our lives a living hell and have praised the
beauty of the project. There is one, however, who isn't through with us yet and never
will be.
A few days ago we rented a boom lift and hung two unobtrusive signs between
four well-placed trees, one on Markham where Cross Street tees into it, and the other at
the intersection of Markham and Sang. The signs are tasteful and blend into the natural
colors that surround them. They are covered with tempered glass and are hung high up in
the trees to diminish the chances of their being damaged by vandals. (Another sign we
erected on a corner of Markham and Sang twenty years ago, which names the historic
properties at Pratt Place, was vandalized a number of times while we were trying to usher
the Pratt Place Inn and Barn project through the City Council and Planning Commission.)
In no time, the one persistent neighbor, in her unflagging attempt to thwart our
every move, filed a complaint about the signs. It was then that we Learned that, according
to city ordinance, we need to have a sign permit and to have the signs meet certain
specifications, among them minimum setbacks. When we made our PZD application in
2006 and asked permission to put up signs we were unaware of the restrictions laid out in
Chapter 174 of the Unified Development Code. We thought we simply were getting
permission to put up signs on our property and were reassuring the neighbors by letting
them know we were restricting ourselves to small signs. Now that we are having to focus
solely on the question of signs, the note with an asterisk on our approval form mentions
the provisions of Chapter 174. We just did not incorporate into our vision of the
approach to the inn what it meant to be restricted to a "monument sign," when all of the
text above that spoke of a "freestanding sign."
The code requirements clearly do not envision a situation such as a wooded area
or the section of Markham in question. A standard sign would not be appropriate and a
standard placement at ground level or on a signpost would invite vandals. Both of our
signs are the same size, 2' by 3' or 29' /z" by 41" if you include the wooden frame, and
are set back from the back of the curb from seventeen to twenty-six feet and are not

disturbing or invasive in any way. If we had to observe to prescribed setback (I believe
10' from the street right-of-way) we would have to create a larger sign in order for it to
be seen. Though Chapter 174 has no section on PZD signs, the current allowance of 32
sq. ft, (a 4' by 8' sign) for a monument sign is logical if it is to be seen using this
setback. Conversely, if we are restricting ourselves to a small sign (2' by 3" or 6 sq. ft.)
which is less than 20% of allowed size, then there should be some accommodation in the
setback requirement. The same is true of the 3' by 5' sign permitted by our PZD as it is
less than 50% of the possible sign size, though we have no plans right now to put up a
sign that size. We request that you review this sign situation and grant permission for our
signs to be paced where they are now and supported as we have them; that is, suspended
between two trees.
We hope that you will come see the signs for yourselves and we feel confident
that you will not find fault with them. If we are forced to take them down and put them
on posts or on the ground, however, we will have no choice but to remove them
altogether. There would be 110 point in placing them where they will be battered,
destroyed, or stolen by vandals. Even the street signs in the area take a beating. It will be
to Fayetteville's advantage for Pratt Place Inn to succeed as one of the most beautiful and
celebrated inns in the U.S., and the removal of these handsome, subdued, and small signs
for no sensible reason would only throw up an impediment to guests being able to fmd
their way to the place.

* No pylon/pole signs shall be permitted, only monument signs. Signage location shall be permitted in accordance with
setbacks and other criteria in Ch. 174 Signs, unless noted herein.
Water & Sewer: Water is currently available, and will be extended on-site with adequate fire
protection (hydrants) and water line size to be provided as required by code. It will be necessary
for the development to connect to city sewer and cease use of the existing septic systems. Sewer
line connections, extensions, etc. will be evaluated and required to meet city codes to serve the
properties at the time of development.
Access: Access is provided from Markham and Sang Streets. These are residential streets with
open ditches which provide access to the University Heights neighborhood west of the
University of Arkansas campus. Markham is currently narrow and is failing in portions west of
Cross Avenue. At the time of development, streets that the development will access will need to
be reconstructed to provide a safe and adequate means of access, as determined by the Planning
Commission. At minimum, a 20 -foot wide pavement width will be required, with improvements
to the failing pavement north of Cross Avenue. Access for ladder trucks to this property for the
Fire Department is a stated concern, without improvements as mentioned above.
Interior to the project, private drives are proposed. Access to future cabins will need to meet with
Fire Department approval in order to provide adequate fire protection and emergency access in
time of need. The slope, width and construction of interior drives to access future structures shall
be evaluated at the time of development to ensure proper access is achieved.
Adjacent Master Street Plan Streets: Markham Road, Sang Avenue (Residential Streets)
Street Improvements: Staff recommends the following:
• Markham Road accessing the subject property from Cross Avenue into the
property will need to be improved to a minimum 20 -foot standard, if not
greater. Existing pavement will need to be evaluated and improved, if
necessary. The Planning Commission shall determine the amount of
improvement necessary in order to approve the proposed development with
adequate and safe access.
Drainage improvements associated with the widening will also need to be
•
evaluated and required, as necessary, based on the City Engineer's
recommendation and the Planning Commission's determination at the time
of Large Scale Development.
Tree Preservation: Much of the site contains existing tree canopy, though there are areas of
dense canopy and areas of open pasture land. The majority of the property is intended to be
utilized in its existing state, without a great deal of disturbance. Typical agricultural activities,
