Kit Williams, City Attorney, discussed the items that were allowed to be considered in a rezoning and
referred to a memo that he had prepared and distributed.
Public Comment:
Eva Madison, Candlewood Subdivision, spoke for the neighborhood. She discussed the proposal was
inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhoods. She discussed the old R-1 zoning that is different than the
current RSF-4 zoning. The proposed RSF-4 zoning is different than the surrounding properties.
Charlie Collins, 3225 Pipers Glen, POA President of Brookbury, discussed that it is virtually unanimous
regarding the opposition to this rezoning by the surrounding neighborhoods.
Christin Bellcamp, President of Brookbury, agreed with the comments by Eva Madison. We have obtained
96 signatures to downzone our neighborhood to RSF-2. She discussed Brookbury Crossing was the sole
means of access. She discussed that zoning and development are tied together. She discussed traffic flow
problems, fire safety problems, and issues with density and compatibility. Skillern Road has traffic and site
distance issues. Brookbury would not meet the fire code today as it has 95 homes on a dead end street.
Adding approximately 40 more additional homes on this site, even with sprinkler systems, would be a
problem. The private interest should not override the public interest for safety.
James McGinty, President of Savannah, discussed support for the residents of Brookbury and Candlewood.
He discussed traffic on Skillern Road. Savannah will also proposal to downzone to RSF-2.
Jimmy Roy, 3074 Brookbury, read an exert from the City Attorney's memo, "public opposition that is logical
and reasonable" can be considered. He also discussed that traffic is a problem. There are too many homes.
Christine Smith, Brookbury and Idlewood Way, Brookbury is already in a dangerous situation. Children ar
all crossing in a blind area. It is a 25 mph speed limit but people exceed the limit. It will be worse if
Brookbury is extended. She discussed a dangerous intersection in the Brookbury neighborhood.
Jason Fourie, 3475 Township, asked if the actual density was considered.
Laurie Covell, teacher at McNair, discussed traffic issues that occurred when a truck for a pool construction
blocked the round backing up traffic in Brookbury.
No more public comment was presented.

Page 11 of 16
Commissioner Hoskins asked about the property owner information.
Micky Harrington responded that the owner is requesting the rezoning.
Commissioner Hoskins discussed that the lack of a street connection is a problem. A full-fledged connection
is needed. This could potentially have 80 residences or 800 average daily trips. He is pro smart -development
and until a complete connection is made he can't support this.
Commissioner Winston discussed the R -A is not appropriate as it is surrounded by neighborhoods.
Kit Williams, City Attorney, discussed that the old R-1 zoning was almost identical to the current RSF-4
zoning. It allowed up to four units per acre.
Commissioner Hoskins discussed surrounding properties have RSF-2 type density. He discussed the lack of
cross connection.
Commissioner Winston discussed the need to disconnect the two things.
Commissioner Chesser referred to the City Attorney's memo and whether this request meets or does not
meet those criteria. He requested all of the neighborhood representatives to come back up and answer a
question. Would you be opposed to this if there were a second street connection?
Eva Madison responded that their arguments were made based on density.
Jimmy Roy discussed that safety, density, and traffic are their biggest issues.
Charlie Collins discussed that if it were only an additional 10 homes it would not be dramatically worse.
Commissioner Chesser asked the applicant about the proposed density and zoning.
Micky Harrington discussed that there are other issues besides density that require the RSF-4 zoning such as
lot dimensions and lot size.
Commissioner Chesser asked about a connection Township.
Brian Moore, Engineering Services Incorporated, discussed that yes a connection to the south is our intent
with a stub -out.
Commissioner Honchell thanked everyone one for participating and being here. He discussed that he won't
be able to support RSF-4.
Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director, discussed the differences between RSF-4 and RSF-2. He also
discussed that if Brookbury were rezoned to RSF-2 it would create nonconformities because very few of the
lots are large enough to meet the RSF-2 requirements.
Commissioner Hoskins discussed a need for RSF-4 zoning because of bulk and area regulations. He also
discussed that a Bill of Assurance would be an option for the applicant to limit the overall density. He would
support a rezone to RSF-0.5.

Micky Harrington discussed that they would offer a Bill of Assurance to limit the density to two units per
acre.
Kit Williams, City Attorney, discussed that the Planning Commission cannot require a Bill of Assurance and
that one has not been offered. It would have to be offered in writing and notarized.
Commissioner Pennington discussed that the rezoning would not be incompatible, but public safety is a
concern and he would be in support of RSF-0.5.
Motion:
Commissioner Pennington made a motion to forward RZN 12-4166 to City Council with a
recommendation for RSF-0.5. Commissioner Hoskins seconded the motion.
Commissioner Hoskins asked if RSF-0.5 would be considered a spot -zone.
Kit Williams, City Attorney, discussed that did not think an RSF-0.5 could be considered a spot -zone.

property and the existing condition that is already in place.

Page 1 of 38
• On May 29, 2012 the Planning Commission granted approval of ADM 12-4130 Deane Street
Cottages modification which removed condition of approval #7 from CUP 12-4023 to permit the
existing home at 1637 Deane Street to receive a certificate of occupancy prior to completion of
the cottage development. This administrative request was approved with a condition of approval
No.2 that states as follows:
#2 The existing home at 1637Deane Street shall be required to be inspected and approved in
accordance with all standard code requirements including payment of impact fees, etc.
prior to certificate of occupancy, including completion of the driveway. Afour-foot section
of the driveway around the manhole may remain unpaved until a sewer tap is made, at
which time the remainder of the driveway shall be paved.
Proposal: The applicant proposes to modify condition of approval #2 from ADM 12-4130 to allow
for the existing home (1637 Deane Street) on the 0.88 acre site that has been partially constructed
and almost finished, to receive a certificate of occupancy without paving the entire driveway. A
majority of the driveway has been completed. The applicant has indicated that the existing unpaved
portion of the driveway is the location of future utilities for the future cottage development. If the
driveway is paved now it would be required to be torn up and repaved in the near future with the
pending construction of the cottage development.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends in favor of the applicant's request to receive an occupancy permit for this existing
home prior to the driveway for the home at 1637 Deane Street being fully completed. The driveway
is already paved from Deane Street back into the site approximately 180 feet. Only the remaining 30
feet or so of the driveway is proposed to to remain unpaved. The City's Unified Development Code
Section 172.11(G)(2) requires driveways for single family homes to be paved 18 feet into the
property from the street. The driveway at 1637 Deane Street already exceeds this requirement. Staff
does not forsee any adverse impacts with leaving the remaining 30 feet of this driveway unpaved as
it is a flat site and erosion or access issues for the future residents should not be a problem.
Recommended Motion: Staff recommends approval of ADM 12-4195 to allow the home at 1637
Deane Street to receive a final occupancy permit prior to paving the entire driveway with the
following conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
1. All conditions of approval from ADM 12-4130 still apply, with the exception of a
modification to condition of approval No.2 to allow for a final certificate of occupancy of the
existing home at 1637 Deane Street prior to paving the entire driveway.
2. Should the cottage development (CUP 12-4023) ever occur on the eastern portion of this site,
the remaining unpaved portion of the driveway at 1637 Deane Street shall be fully paved and

July 23, 2012
Dear Planning Commissioners,
The purpose of this letter is to formally request a revision to a condition of approval of ADM 12-4130
(originally CUP12-4023) related to the Deane Street Cottages project. Condition of Approval #1 states, "The
existing home at 1637 Deane Street shall be required to be inspected and approved in accordance with all
standard code requirements including payment of impact fees, etc. prior to certificate of occupancy, including
completion of the driveway. A four -foot section of the driveway around the manhole may remain unpaved until
a sewer tap is made, at which time the remainder of the driveway shall be paved.
We are requesting this condition be revised to exclude the driveway completion based on the expanded scope of
work to correct the drainage and the extent of excavation that will take place around the home. A sewer main
extension will be necessary coming off the manhole in the center of the driveway. There will also be a 18"-24"
HDPE pipe that will pass under the driveway. For the same reasons, I am hopeful that it will be acceptable to
leave the yard unfinished with seed and straw as the temporary means of erosion and dust control. Upon
completion of the drainage and utility work the yard will be fully sodded,. landscaped and be on par with the
extensive landscaping that will make this cottage development so desirable.
This information was not readily available during the last requested revision but has come available as we
further analyze the drainage and finalize engineering plans for the site.
The subject home is currently under contract with a family from Tahlequah. We have kept in close contact with
them communicating milestones and project details as they become available. They are hoping to move in
following the above revisions to the conditions of approval. The buyers understand they will be living in close
proximity to construction and are okay with the situation.
Approval of this request, would allow them a home to move into and while at the same time continued progress
on the cottage project; seemingly a win-win. The sale of the property would be consummated upon final
approval of this project.
We hope that you will give this proposal careful consideration. Taking this action will in no way, impact the
overall quality of the project as there are many other safeguards and inspections to ensure the project is a
welcome addition to the City of Fayetteville. Thanks for your time.

Page 5 of 38
Proposal: The applicant proposes to modify condition of approval #7 from CUP 12-4023 to allow
for the existing home (1637 Deane Street) on the 0.88 acre site that has been partially constructed
and almost finished, to receive a temporary certificate of occupancy to allow people to start living in
the home. The applicant proposes for the final certificate of occupancy not to be issued until the
entire cottage development is completed.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends in favor of the applicant's request to receive an occupancy permit for this existing
home prior to the amenities and other features of the cottage development being completed. This is
an existing home that has a separate driveway from the cottage development. If a certificate of
occupancy for this home is not issued the home will be required to sit vacant for a relatively long
time period while the cottage development is being built. This would not be in the best interest of the
public or the applicant. However, because the home is in close proximity to other homes in the
cottage development and the proposed detention area, staff recommends conditions of approval to
ensure the safety of the residents during construction of the cottage development. The applicant
suggested a temporary certificate of occupancy, however, this would have to be renewed every 30
days and is not intended to be used for long-term occupancy. Staff recommends that a final
certificate of occupancy be able to be issued with certain conditions.
Recommended Motion: Staff recommends approval of ADM 12-4130 to allow the home at 1637
Deane Street to receive a final occupancy permit prior to completion of the cottage development with
the following conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
1. All conditions of approval from CLIP 12-4023 still apply, with the exception of a
modification to condition of approval No.7 to allow for a final certificate of occupancy of the
existing home at 1637 Deane Street prior to completion of the cottage development.
11 2. The existing home at 1637 Deane Street shall be required to be inspected and approved in
rr accordance with all standard code requirements including payment of impact fees, etc. prior
to certificate of occupancy, including completion of the driveway. A four -foot section of the
driveway around the manhole may remain unpaved until a sewer tape is made, at which time Y
the remainder of the driveway shall be paved. T
THE PLANNING COMMISSION MODIFIED TI IIS CONDITION AS NOTED (05-3 0-12).
3. Prior to certificate of occupancy the applicant shall provide payment (cash, letter of credit, or
bond) to guarantee the construction of the sidewalk along the lot's street frontage, and to
guarantee the stabilization and revegetation of' the site in accordance with UDC Section
158.04.
4. The applicant shall provide full disclosure to any potential renters or buyers of the extent and

timing of construction that will be taking place in close proximity to the home.
5. To ensure the safety of residents living at 1637 Deane Street during the construction of the
cottage development the developer shall install substantial safety fencing around the home to
prevent conflicts between residents and construction equipment and materials. The safety
fencing shall be required to be inspected by the City prior to the initiation of any
construction. The City inspector shall determine the appropriate type of fence in the field.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION MODIFIED THIS CONDITION AS NOTED (05-30-12).
6. The existing home at 1637 Deane Street may not be sold a part from the existing parent tract
identified as 765-13574-000, unless and until the cottage development has been completed
and the final plat filed of record.

CUP 12-4023: Conditional Use Permit (1637 W. DEANE ST./LEGACY VENTURES, 365):
Submitted by APPIAN DESIGN GROUP for property located at 1637 WEST DEANE STREET.
The property is zoned RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and
contains approximately 0.88 acre. The request is to allow Cottage Housing Development, Use Unit
44, for five new single-family cottages. Planner: Andrew Gamer
Findings:

the architectural design of the five cottages did not meet the minimum requirements. The applicant
has revised the design of the cottages to meet the ordinance. The applicant has also submitted a
document signed by an adjacent property owner giving indication of this property owner's
willingness to work with the applicant on a drainage easement through their property.
Property: The subject property is located at 1637 Deane Street, just east of Lewis Avenue. The site
is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single Family Four Units/Acre and contains a single family residence on
approximately 0.88 acre. The surrounding zoning and land use is listed in Table 1.

Background: The original parent tract including the subject property contained 1.69 acres. On May 9,
2011 the Planning Commission approved CUP 11-3825 for the creation of a 0.35 -acre tandem lot.
The lot split to create three lots was finalized and recorded and three single family homes were
constructed on the three lots. A fourth home has also been constructed on the remaining 0.88 -acre
tract, the subject property. On September 26, 2011 the Planning Commission denied another
conditional use permit request to create another tandem lot on the subject property.

Agenda Item 2
ADM12-4195 Deane St Cottages
Page 8 of 38
Proposal: The applicant proposes to develop the 0.88 -acre site under the recently adopted Cottage
Development Ordinance. The proposal would retain the existing home in addition to five new cottages.
The applicant has provided a detailed development submittal with site plans, floor plans, and 3D
renderings of the overall proposal. In addition, the applicant has submitted a booklet in which they
propose pictures and development details that they wish to be included as conditions of approval with
their development. All of these materials are attached to this packet.
Public comment: Staff has received a combined letter from Joyce Richards and Rebecca Bryant
discussing issues with development on this site and a letter from Ronald Chioldi opposed to the
development (see attached).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is in favor of this project, finding that although it is a different
pattern of development than the surrounding predominant single family residences, it is compatible
and would meet the intent of the Cottage Housing ordinance by providing innovation and variety in
housing. With the conditions of approval that have been signed and guaranteed by the
owner/applicant, staff feels like this will be a high quality project. Additionally, staff feels this
proposal is highly consistent with the overriding land use plan of the City (City Plan 2030),
specifically the goal #1 to make infill our highest priority. See the findings throughout this staff
report for further discussion.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Staff recommends approval of CUP 12-4023 (Deane Street
Cottages) subject to the following conditions of approval:

2. The project shall be required to go through site improvement plan (SIP) review prior to
submittal of construction or building permits to ensure compliance with all Unified
Development Code requirements. If the site is proposed to be subdivided it will also be
required to go through the preliminary plat (PPL) process either concurrently with or after
SIP review.
3. The images and diagrams offered by the applicant in their "Owner Guarantee for
Conditions of Approval" booklet, signed by the owner, shall be included as official
