Mountain St. Fayetteville,AR 72701 TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission Members THRU: Tim Conklin,City Planner,A.I.C.P. FROM: Sara Edwards,Ron Petrie P.E. DATE: December 6,2001 LSP O1-30.00: Lot Split(Wetzel,pp 475) was submitted by Libby McDonald on behalf of Brad Wetzel for property located on the north side of Dot Tipton Road. The property is in the Planning Area and contains approximately 4.32 acres. The request is to split into two tracts of 1.71 acres and 1.96 acres. Findings: As part of the lot split request, the applicant is dedicating 35 feet from centerline to Washington County pursuant to the Master Street Plan of the City of Fayetteville. Originally the deed for the entire piece of property contained 4.32 acres. This deed included property to the centerline of Dot Tipton Road. With the subtraction of the right-of-way there is a total of 3.67 acres. This item was heard at the November 1, 2001 Subdivision Committee and was approved subject to the condition that a public waterline be extended to the 1.71 acre lot. Recommendation: Approval subject to the conditions listed below. Conditions of Approval: 1. The lot labeled proposed split, 1.71 acres, does not have access to a public water line. The waterline shall be extended prior to filing the lot split or any deeds. At such time the line is completed, inspected, and accepted the lot split may be filed. The applicant is requesting a waiver of this requirement. Staff is recommending that this waiver only be granted subject to the applicant providing money in escrow as provided in§158 Bonds and Guarantees, in the amount of 150%of the cost of the waterline extension. The cost shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineering Division. This option would allow for the lot split to be filed when the guarantee is received. All funds received would be returned with interest at such time the waterline is constructed, inspected, and approved. The required waterline shall be constructed within three years of approval date. 2. Applicant shall obtain Washington County approval prior to filing lot split. 3. Plat Review and Subdivision comments (to include written staff comments provided to the applicant or his representative, and all comments from utility representatives -AR Western Gas, SWBT, Ozarks, SWEPCO, Cox Communications) 4.

STEVE CLARK, P.E. CIVIL/ ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING November 15, 2001 Ms. Sara Edwards, Development Coordinator Fayetteville Planning Department 113 West Mountain Street �� �VQ Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 Re: Karstetter and Glass Body Shop pU3Ntth3G Dtti Large Scale Development Dear Ms. Edwards, The owner of the referenced project requests waivers from the Design Overlay District requirements on the following items: 1. Curb cuts shall be a minimum of 200 feet apart - The two existing curb cuts have been in place since the original building was constructed more than 40 years ago. If one of the drives were required to be closed it would make safe access to the site extremely difficult, if not impossible. 2. Driveway widths shall not exceed 39 feet - The existing driveways widths are the results of multiple road widening projects by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department and the City of Fayetteville. The driveways were constructed to allow maximum safe access to the site after the last widening project. 3. Aisle widths should be 24 feet wide - The parking lots in the rear of the building will have less than 24 foot access aisles. Due to the limited space available for vehicular parking the parking layout required that the aisles be smaller than normally allowed. This parking area will be used by body shop personnel for temporary parking of vehicles while the vehicles are waiting to be repaired. The employees will be able to readily utilized the smaller access aisles since there will not be two way traffic at the same time. 4. 25 feet of green space is required along all public right-of-ways -There is no available space between the building and the Right-of-Way for a 25 foot landscaped buffer. The owner has agreed to plant landscaping in the only Planning Commission December 10, 2001 LSD01-42 Karstetter& Glass 109 Spring Street, Suite 4 • Springdale, Arkansas 72764 • (501) 87 Page 5.9 0 available space in the southeast corner of the tract. 5. Buildings shall be constructed of wood, masonry or other natural looking materials - The original building was originally constructed with white-painted masonry block. The addition that initiated this Large Scale Development was begun prior to the owner's understanding of the design standards of the overlay district. As such, the building, which is 70 percent complete, is constructed using metal sidewalls. Fortunately, there will be only a small portion of the proposed building that is actually visible from the adjoining streets. 6. No building shall have metal sidewalls unless the metal siding is similar in appearance to natural looking materials - The original building was originally constructed with white-painted masonry block. The addition that initiated this Large Scale Development was begun prior to the owner's understanding of the design standards of the overlay district. As such, the building, which is 70 percent complete, is constructed using metal sidewalls. In addition to the waivers to the requirements of the Design Overlay District requested, the owner also requests a waiver of the right-of-way dedication requirements along Wedington Drive and Futrall Drive. Only a small portion of the total site is currently being used for a commercial business. The remaining portion of the tract is still being used as the residence of the owner, Mrs. Doris Ann Glass. The waiver is requested for the following reasons. Wedington Drive Right-of-Way This business has been in this location for more than 40 years. When the existing buildings were constructed Wedington Road was a two-lane country road. At that time there was a parking lot and approximately 30 feet of green space in front of the building. Since the highway 71 Bypass ( 1-540) was constructed, additional right-of-way(ROW) has been acquired on at least two separate occasions. When the Highway Department acquired right-of-way for the latest widening project, they determined that a ROW width ranging from 40 to 45 feet was sufficient. I realize that the street ROW standards have changed since that acquisition occurred. However, It will be burdensome on the operation of the business if the additional ROW dedication is required at this time. The existing ROW is located less than 30 feet from the body shop building. If the additional requested ROW (55' from centerline) is dedicated there will be no room for vehicles to maneuver into the front parking spaces, without doing so completely on the street ROW. Planning Commission December 10, 2001 LSD01-42 Karstetter& Glass Page 5.10 M 0 Futrall Drive Right-of-Way Futrall Drive was widened to 27 feet, curbed and guttered when the property to the north was developed. There are no current needs for additional improvements along this street that would require the dedication of additional ROW. Since Futrall Drive is not being impacted by the commercial development that is being expanded by this Large Scale Development we request that the ROW dedication for Futrall Drive be postponed until some future date when the remaining portion of the property is developed. Mrs. Glass continues to use the majority of her property as a single family residence and prefers that her trees and landscaping not be impacted by the dedication of additional ROW at this time. The owner would appreciate the Planning Commission's favorable consideration of this request. If I can provide additional information, please call me at 872-8171. Sincerely, Clark Consulting q7 Steve Clark, P.E.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Required YES O Approved O Denied Date: December 10,2001 Comments: The"CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL"listed in this report are accepted in total without exception by the entity requesting approval of this conditional use. Name: Date: BACKGROUND: The existing Central Baptist Church was constructed on this site in 1963. This development predated the City's current zoning ordinances and was therefore grandfathered in as a legal nonconforming use in the R-2 zoning district. A church is permitted as a conditional use in residential zoning districts which is the request that is before the Commission at this time. This project is being forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration so that the existing structures as well as a proposed fellowship hall addition may be made conforming through the approval of a conditional use permit. Parking is available on this site to accommodate the existing facility as well as the proposed addition. There are 106 parking spaces according to the site plan submitted by the applicant. Sixty-three spaces and an area for overflow are required for the 250 seat sanctuary. Improvements to 83% of the existing parking lot areas will be required as they are currently non-conforming and this project(6,050 s.f, fellowship hall) represents an addition of approximately 83% of the square footage of the existing facility (church=8,001 s.f., classroom building= 1,660 s.£).
