CUP 15-4957: Conditional Use (502 W. MAPLE STREET/PI BETA PHI HOUSE, 445):
Submitted by DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS, INC. for property located at 502 W.
MAPLE STREET. The property is zoned RMF-40, RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY, 40
UNITS PER ACRE and contains approximately 1.62 acres. The request is for additional
parking.
LSD 15-4956: Large Scale Development(502 W. MAPLE STREET/PI BETA PHI HOUSE,
445): Submitted by DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS, INC. for property located at 502 W.
MAPLE STREET. The property is zoned RMF-40, RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY, 40
UNITS PER ACRE, and contains approximately 1.62 acres. The request is for construction
of an approximately 42,000 square foot, 37 unit sorority house with associated parking.
Quin Thompson, Current Planner, read the staff report.
Jay Young, applicant, said that the sorority was expanding to provide enhanced meeting
and gathering spaces for the [97] residents and the 400 members living off campus. He said
the expansion would not increase the number of resident members much, and added that
the proposal provides more parking in less area than the current parking lot. He said that
the proposed lot would provide 22 compact spaces, and that he preferred not to mark all of
the [substandard dimension] spaces as compact.
He said that the project would shield all light from neighboring properties and would provide
LED parking lot lighting in the center of the lot. He added that there would be zero up-lighting
or side-lighting on the building.
He said a screen wall at the parking lot was being provided, that it would reduce noise, and
that mechanical equipment would be screened with a masonry wall to reduce impact for a
neighbor.
He said that the circle drive was a 'legacy' feature where girls can be easily picked up at
their front door, that it would provide ADA access for the elderly handicapped. He said that
the proposed circle drive is a safety feature. He added that grade changes between the
building and Wilson Street were challenging to resolve for ADA design.
Public comment:
Phyllis Head said she has been resident at 402 Ila Street for 30 years, and that she liked
the neighborhood and sororities, and that she was in support of construction, but that she
did not support the large amount of gathering space for members. She presented a petition
signed by 30 neighbors who were opposed to the variance requests. She said that this was
a case of too much development on the site, and that the project should be redesigned to
meet City development ordinances.
Sam La Foy said he is a neighbor at 601 Wilson Street. He had concerns about the parking
lot design, saying that the members do not drive compact cars, but typically large SUVs. He
asked about the masonry screen wall construction, whether it would be CMU [Compact
Masonry Unit, aka cinder block]. He said that pedestrians routinely walk down Wilson Street
in the roadway, and that the area is a 'funnel' for pedestrian traffic.

David Russell said that he lives at 126 W Prospect, and that his daughter is a member of
the sorority. He said that he was strongly in favor of the circle drive, which he felt would
provide safety in an area with significant traffic. He said that there would be more congestion
without the circle drive.
Frank Head said that he felt that a few comments should be made about the neighborhood.
He said that the Sterling Frisco parking garage has added a lot of vehicle traffic, to the
[Maple and Wilson] intersection. He felt that a traffic study should be undertaken to assess
impacts of this development on the neighborhood. He said that he took exception to the
applicant's assertion that the parking lot of the sorority was low traffic area, with cars moving
infrequently. He said that parking for the off-campus sorority members needs to be
addressed, adding that every event held at the sorority brings hundreds of vehicles to the
neighborhood. He said that to approve the project before more consideration of these issues
would not be appropriate, and that he believed that most neighbors were in agreement on
this point.
Joel Hersh, a neighbor, said that there is a continuing problem with parking in the area. He
noted that the proposal was reducing parking spaces while increasing the number of
residents. He calculated that 20 residents would not be provided with parking, and that no
provision had been made in the proposal for visitors. He discussed the ordinance [Ord.
5558] which provides protected resident parking on Ila, but causes parking issues to be
pushed to Louise Street and Wilson park. He suggested an expansion of the residential
parking zone to cover a larger area of the neighborhood.
Joelle Drusoe, neighbor, said that she had concerns about the parking lot variances, saying
that the members drive large vehicles not small ones. She added that a parking lot with 65%
of spaces below standard dimensions was inappropriate. She said she was concerned with
tree removal on the site as well. She added that she supports the variance for the circle
drive.
Sheryl Horton, Pi Beta Phi member, said she was in support of the circle drive, and added
that the proposal would not increase the number of people coming to the facility, but would
allow more room for the current number.
Steve Frankenburger asked where those residents who were not provided a parking space
would park. He said that the parking area is too small. He added that when he hears the
terms 'enhanced gathering space' he understands that to mean 'partying'. He said the
proposal is a disaster for the neighborhood, and asked about the level of sound attenuation
he should expect from the screen walls and the decibel level the mechanical equipment
would emit.
Susan Lancaster, Pi Beta Phi house director, said she loved the neighbors and
neighborhood and supported the circle drive due to safety and tradition. She said many
residents attend night classes and that she appreciates the safety in not having her residents
dropped off in a parking lot. The house also receives deliveries at the circle drive she said.
She said the she tries to police the parking that currently occurs on grass areas [adjacent to
the circle drive] and added that a parking space is a privilege at the house that is earned.
Brenda LaRoche, Pi Beta Phi board member, said that the development is not an event
center, but a home. She said the sorority was expanding out of the basement, and that

currently there is not enough space to study. She said that men hide in the bushes and said
the circle drive would provide a measure of safety.
Laurie Kimbrough, said the development would provide for the girl's safety, and that the
sorority strives to make them into productive citizens after college.
Janessa Bailey, Pi Beta Phi Co-chair of the building project, said that the function of the
house would not change, but that the proposed facility would provide space for the members
to have dinner together and to study. She said that she agreed that the circle drive would
provide safety. She said that the facility would house new women every year, and that
towing and ticketing would be internally policed. She said that there would be a beautiful
brick wall along Ila Street, and that they would plant dogwoods to beautify the street if the
neighbors wanted that.
Tim Hudson, neighbor, said he shared concerns about the parking and traffic with the
proposed development. He said he is a 15 year resident of the area and has no problem
with the sorority, but that traffic impact has increased in recent years.
Melinda [?], Pi Beta Phi member and neighbor, said that there is not additional Pi Beta Phi
parking area available on an undeveloped lot across Wilson Street. She said she felt the
proposed circle drive was an important feature.
No more public comment was presented.
Tracy Hoskins, Chair, asked the applicant about the construction of the proposed screen
walls.
Jay Young said that the walls would be brick at the parking area and concrete block at the
chiller.
Hoskins asked about a traffic study.
Jay Young said that one had not been done. He added that the numbers of parking and
visitors would not change with the proposal.
Hoskins asked about parking for the gathering space.
Jay Young said that no parking was proposed for the gathering spaces. He said there is
not room on the site to provide parking for 400 members.
Hoskins asked about the decibel levels expected by mechanical equipment.
Jay Young said that 'quiet' units were being considered. He said he would share that
information when units are selected.
Hoskins asked the Urban Forester about tree preservation.
Ken Eastin, Urban Forester, said that the proposal would remove below the minimum
required canopy and provide mitigation trees to achieve minimum requirements.
Hoskins asked if those would be 2" caliper trees.

Eastin said that they would be smaller than existing trees, but would be better planted and
would grow quickly.
Hoskins asked if Dogwood would be allowed.
Eastin said that he would not recommend that species in this location as they would likely
get burned [by sun]. He said the policy is to mitigate with shade trees.
Hoskins asked for staff comment on circle drive.
Chief Harley Hunt, Fire Marshal, said that he was present to answer questions, and added
that the applicant had initially proposed a design that did not meet code requirements, but
had changed the design to meet fire code with the addition of grass fire lane. He said the
circle drive is not required by code, but if it is built it must meet requirements.
Hoskins asked if the current design met Fire Code.
Hunt replied that it did meet code.
Craig Honchell, commissioner, said that he had no issue with the circle drive, and asked
how much parking would be allowed in the fire access lane.
Jay Young said that zero parking would be allowed in the circle drive/fire lane.
Honchell asked what would happen if parking did occur there.
Andrew Garner, City Planning Director, said that the Fire Marshal could ticket cars parked
illegally in the fire lane.
Hunt added that Fire Marshal and police departments would work together.
Honchell suggested the neighborhood work to expand Ordinance 5558. He said the
neighborhood is bearing the burden of this type of growth and that he was not in favor of the
project without further study.
William Chesser, Commissioner, asked if the development could be built without the
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allowing increased parking?
Thompson replied that yes, code only required one parking space per sleeping room, in
this case the requirement is for 37 parking places so the development could be approved
without the CUP, but that this would negatively impact the neighborhood in staff opinion.
Chesser expressed concerns about providing a grass paving system as part of a fire access
where parking already occurs on the grass and asked for staff opinion.
Thompson replied that grass pave meets requirements, but that staff was concerned that
it would provide a ready parking area that would be difficult to police.

Hunt said that the Fire Marshal's office handles parking issues in-house and sometimes
with the Fayetteville Police Department(FPD), but prefers to work with the property owner
to resolve issues.
Janet Selby, Commissioner, said that she supported the circle drive and the development
as no additional people would be on site. She did express concern with the parking screen
wall and suggested that it might be taller than 42 inches.
Garner said that wall taller than 42 inches has been shown to decrease safety in a parking
lot, because it obscures the view.
Sarah Bunch, Commissioner said that she felt a taller wall would be oppressive.
Kit Williams, City Attorney said that the FPD agrees that a lower wall is safer.
Kyle Cook, Commissioner, said that he supported the use and that he agreed that the
facility would not increase traffic impact. He added that this [development] is not an ideal
situation, and that he had not supported the variance for the loop drive, but had reconsidered
and now felt that it is a good idea. He asked if parking was being reduced with the proposal.
Thompson replied that parking is being reduced slightly from present.
Cook commented on maintenance requirements for the proposed pervious paving systems,
and that he hoped City staff would follow up to make sure that they were performing
correctly.
Young said that the proposed parking lot was larger than the existing lot, but that it would
decrease the existing number of spaces by two (2).
Hoskins asked the applicant how many stories were proposed in the new facility.
Young said that there were three above grade and one story below grade.
Motion:
Commissioner Winston made a motion to approve CUP 15-4957 with conditions as
recommended by staff. Commissioner Selby seconded the motion. Upon roll call the
motion passed with a vote of 8-0-0.

RE: Timberlake Office park Lots 17& 18 Access Easement Vacation
This letter is to state the intent to vacate an existing Access Easement between the shared

the South boundary of Lot 17 and the North boundary of Lot 18. The lots are owned by Building
Equity Inc, and the proposed developer is the same. Mr. Greg Sims is the acting entity for this
corporation, which owns both lots and intends to combine lots 17 & 18 in order to construct a
building across the two parcels, rendering the existing easement unnecessary.

KANS
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2015
SUBJECT: ADM 15-5023: Administrative Item (4436 E. MISSION
BLVDJEASTERN PARK S/D., 296): Submitted by USI ENGINEERS for
property located at 4436 E. MISSION BLVD. The property is in the
FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING AREA and contains approximately 7.66
acres. The request is for Planning Commission determination of street
connectivity for a new subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of ADM 15-5023 with conditions.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located in the vicinity of 4436 E. Mission Boulevard outside the City limits
but within the Planning Area. The site contains approximately 7.66 acres that is largely
undeveloped except for a house and barn. The site is surrounded by undeveloped agricultural
land to the east, low density residential development to the west and north, and Mission Boulevard
to the south.
On November 13, 2014 the Washington County Quorum Court approved a conditional use permit
for development of a subdivision on this property with lots less than the county one-acre minimum.
Because this property is located within one mile of the city limits, it is also subject to development
in accordance with the City's minimum street, stormwater, and block length requirements.
Prior to moving forward with engineered plans for the preliminary plat, the applicant requests a
decision from the Planning Commission on the proposed subdivision's street connectivity. The
15-lot single family lot subdivision does not propose street connectivity to the north and west.
Washington County has indicated that they have no concerns or comments related to this topic.
DISCUSSION:
Request:
• The applicant requests a determination of appropriate street connectivity for the proposed
15-lot single family residential subdivision. The applicant proposes a new street into the
subdivision along the western property line that would provide opportunity for connection
to the southwest. No other street connections are proposed except for a stub-out to
undeveloped property to the east.

Page 1 of 9
RECOMMENDATION:
This project is located outside the city limits in an area generally classified as low density rural
residential. The surrounding properties to the north and west have been previously subdivided
and are utilized for large rural residential properties with homes. While these properties could be
further subdivided, a street connection to Oakland Zion Road is possible through Trough Springs
Road (currently private). Land immediately to the southwest of the proposed subdivision could tie
in to the right-of-way and public street that will be developed along the western property line. The
property to the southeast is developed with a home on one acre. The subdivision proposes a
street stub-out in the northeast portion of this site to a largely undeveloped parcel of approximately
23 acres and a home.
Given the generally developed nature of the surrounding properties, future development potential
at suburban densities is low to the west and north. In addition, urban block length and a high level
of connectivity is not critical in the context of this rural area that is largely subdivided and
developed except to the east. Staff recommends in favor of the connectivity as proposed.
Staff recommends approval of ADM 15-5023 with the following conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
1. Planning Commission determination of street connectivity. Staff recommends in
favor of connectivity as proposed for the reasons discussed herein.

Re: Variance Request
Eastern Park Single Family Residential Subdivision
Washington County, AR
Dear Mr. Garner:
Please find enclosed exhibit for the revised Preliminary Plat of the Eastern Park Subdivision in
Washington County. The proposed subdivision will consist of fifteen (15) single family residential
lots, with a detention lot and a decentralized sewer treatment plant lot for a total of 17 lots. It is
located along Arkansas State Highway 45 (E. Mission Blvd.), approximately 720-feet east of the
Oakland Zion Road intersection.
This project has been previously submitted and is in the review cycle. This revision is based on the
deletion of the west street stub to the adjacent property. Deleting this stub-out and adding the area
to the detention pond lot will allow enough room to satisfy the City of Fayetteville Drainage Criteria
Manual requirements. Previously the detention pond size was based on the Washington County
Drainage requirements only.
The property to the west includes a pond of approximately 1.25-acres and this will make future
street construction of a road extension difficult.
The distance from Trough Springs Road to the stub out street (Eastern Crossing) will only be about
291-feet if it were extended straight. Section 166:08 (E) — Block Layout/Connectivity suggests that
local and residential intersections should occur at least every 660 feet.
The street stub-out to the east will be maintained as previously proposed.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter, and please let me know if you have any comments
or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Ferdi Fourie, P.E.
Project Manager
