Areas for on-site storage, construction parking, cement truck washout, etc needs to be identified on this plan. 10. The applicant is proposing no preservation on the site. During the construction process, staff would like the opportunity to further evaluate the canopy once the building comers have been staked. If there is any suitable canopy for preservation, this will be saved and the mitigation amount adjusted. 11. Mitigation will be required on the site. As all canopy found on the site is low priority, 15 (2) inch caliper large species trees, $3,750 money in lieu or a combination of both would be required. The combination of money in lieu and on-site planting must be determined before a building permit will be issued. 12. A 3-year bond, letter of credit, or check will be required before issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for the buildings. This amount will be determined by the number of trees planted on-site. Typically staff uses the value of$250 per tree. 13. Shrubs are required to screen any parking visible from right of way. Please add a planting adjacent to Chestnut to screen these spaces. Shrubs are only needed in the area where the parking is visible. The species chosen must be 2 feet within 2 years of growth. 14. The intent is to plant the street trees within the right of way. If greenspace is not adequate or existing conditions prohibit,these trees need to be planted on private property just outside the right of way. 15. Utilities visible from the right of way must be screened. During inspection for the final certificate of occupancy, additional plantings may be required. 16. Parking lot lights and signs will be expected to coexist with required landscape. Please take this into consideration during the design of this project. 17. Before construction document approval,the landscape plan must be stamped by a Landscape Architect licensed within the state of Arkansas. I 18. An estimate of material and labor is required for 150%the cost of the required landscape. Once this estimate is approved by the Urban Forester, a letter of credit, bond or check will be held until installation. 19. Chapter 177 requires street trees to be bonded for a 3-year term before final certificate of occupancy. This amount shall be held to ensure the maintenance of the required street trees.

The property is zoned R-PZD 05-1797, RESIDENTIAL PLANNED ZONING DISTRICT and contains approximately 5.52 acres. The request is to modify condition of approval No. 19 from the final plat approval regarding a vegetated buffer on the east property line. Planner: Andrew Gamer STAFF RECOMMENDS TABLING THIS ITEM UNTIL THE FEBRUARY 9, 2009 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE APPLICANT MORE TIME TO DISCUSS THE REQUEST.WITH AN ADJACENT PROPERTYOWNER WHO HAS STATED TO STAFFTHAT HEHAS CONCERNS WITHREMOVING THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE VEGETATED BUFFER. THEAPPLICANT HAS INDICATED TO STAFFTHAT THEY INTEND ON TALKING TO THE CONCERNED PROPERTY OWNER TO TRY AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTIONBUT HAVE NOT YET DONE SO. Findings: Background: On August 30, 2007, the Planning Commission approved Final Plat 07-2678 for development of the Bungalows at Cato Springs Subdivision consisting of 31 single family residential lots on 5.52 acres. The property is zoned R-PZD 05-1797 (Bungalows at Cato Springs) and is located on the north side of Cato Springs Road, west of Cline Avenue and east of Cato Springs Branch. During the original PZD approval and at the request from adjacent neighbors to the east, a vegetated buffer and fence along the east property line was included in the plans. Condition of approval No. 19 from the final plat approval required a vegetated buffer on the east property line. The applicant has installed a six-foot wood board privacy fence along the eastern property line. Proposal: The applicant requests that the requirement for a vegetated buffer along the eastern property line be waived,or if deemed necessary,to be allowed to be phased over time as the units are completed. Discussion: Condition of approval No. 19 for FPL 07-2678 currently reads as follows: "A vegetative buffer is required along the eastern property line. This landscape must be planted before the first home in the development receives a final certificate of occupancy. Please contact the Urban Forester for an inspection." K.WEPORM009TCREPORTSI02-JANUARY2614DM08-3185(BUNGALOWS@CATOSPNGSMOD).DOC January 26,2009 Planning Commission ADM 08-3185 Bungalows at Cato Springs Agenda Item 3 Page 1 of 12 Staff has conducted a site visit and verified that a six-foot wood board fence has been installed along the eastern property line of the Bungalows at Cato Springs Subdivision. The required vegetated buffer would have to be planted on the inside of the fence, and would not provide any additional screening for the neighbors to the east. The intent of the original condition was to provide a screen/buffer between the Bungalows at Cato Springs neighborhood and the single family homes on Cline Avenue. Staff finds that the newly installed wood board fence meets the intent of the original PZD, and that the requirement for an additional vegetated buffer should be waived. Further, the narrow space between the fence and the alley(less than five feet)is not wide enough for a standard vegetated buffer and would be difficult to maintain. Photos of the subject area have been included with this report. Public Comment: The City notified all adjacent property owners to the east on Cline Avenue of the subject request, and has not received any response. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of ADM 08-3185 to remove condition of approval No. 19 from FPL 07-2678.
