CUP 11-3846: Conditional Use Permit (3160 WYMAN RD./BOOTH, 528): Submitted by NEAL HEFNER
for property located at 3160 WYMAN ROAD. The property is zoned RSF-4, SINGLE FAMILY - 4
UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 20.18 acres. The request is to build an accessory structure before the
primary structure for the storage of maintenance equipment required to upkeep the property.
Dara Sanders, Current Planner, gave the staff report.
The applicant was not present.
Commissioner Cabe asked staff to advise on Commission review of an item with no representation present.
Sanders stated that the applicant was aware of the staff recommendation for approval and associated conditions
and that the Commission could review and vote on or table the item.
Commissioner Chesser expressed concerns with the size of the structure based on the proposed use and asked
staff to comment.
Sanders explained that the size of the equipment necessary to maintain the property is likely driving the size.
Commissioner Hoskins recalled past similar requests in which a property owner was requesting to construct an
accessory structure on a property prior to the primary structure, but in these situations the property owner had an
idea of when the primary structure would be constructed. Is this the case?
Sanders stated that the property is currently owned by the bank and a future date for the development of the
property is unknown.
Commissioner Cabe asked staff to clarify condition of approval #2, which requires that the accessory structure
not exceed 50% of the size of any future principal structure. Considering that the proposed accessory structure
is 2,400 square feet, this may be a difficult condition to meet.
Sanders explained that this is a requirement of the Unified Development Code, which does allow for the
Planning Commission to approve a separate conditional use permit to permit an accessory structure that exceeds
50% of the size of the principal structure.
Motion:
Commissioner Winston made a motion to approve CUP 11-3846 as recommended by staff. Commissioner
Cook seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 6-1-0 (Commissioner Hoskins
voting `No').

Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, gave the staff report.
Mark Courdin, applicant, gave the background of the Summit Place subdivision, the real estate market crash
that led to the vacant subdivision, and their current intent to build smaller 1,600 — 2,000 square foot single
family homes in this neighborhood.
Public Comment:
Marilyn Edwards, property owner in the vicinity, discussed concerns with the proposed density, traffic on
Township, and concerns with ingress -egress into this neighborhood.
Gerald Sloan, property owner on Juneway Terrace, asked about how the 30% tree preservation in the HHOD
can work on this site for each lot. He discussed concerns with stormwater, and stated that erosion on his
property that is uphill from this subdivision has increased over the past four years after this subdivision has been
built.
Michael Robason, property owner on Juneway Terrace, stated that he is in support of CityPlan 2025 but that
the developer's new plan for this neighborhood does not reflect CityPlan. He discussed concerns with traffic on
Township and traffic in general.
Commissioner Earnest left the meeting.
Candy Johnson, property owner in the area, discussed that she grew up in the area and was offended by the
developer's plan because it was obtrusive. She also discussed runoff from this hill.
No more public comment was presented.
Commissioner Winston asked Mr. Sloan to come backup to the podium and explain his concerns with erosion.
Gerald Sloan, property owner on Juneway Terrace, discussed that he thinks erosion on his property has
increased as a result of this subdivision.
Commissioner Winston stated that he was skeptical that Summit Place was causing erosion problems on Mr.
Sloan's property because Summit Place is downhill from his house.
Commissioner Hoskins asked about the proposed development.
Garner discussed that development is not to be considered as this is a rezoning. A development would come
through as a later submittal.
Commissioner Hoskins asked Mr. Robason to come back to the podium and discuss his concerns with the
design of the neighborhood.

Michael Robason, property owner on Juneway Terrace, discussed concerns with seeing garage doors right at
the street under the proposed zoning.
Commissioner Hoskins discussed that he has experience developing smaller single family homes on narrow
lots and thinks that this will not be a front garage entry type of development.
Commissioner Hoskins asked about the proposed zoning and surrounding density.
Garner responded that the adjacent single family neighborhoods to the south and east are zoned RSF-4 and the
proposed density with the Bill of Assurance would be four units per acre.
Commissioner Chesser asked Mr. Robason about erosion issues.
Michael Robason stated that he has three new sinkholes on his property since 2008.
Commissioner Chesser asked about access and traffic into this site when this is re -platted.
Garner discussed that a westbound turn lane into this neighborhood may need to be provided if this
neighborhood is re -platted with a higher density.
Commissioner Chesser discussed that this is an area of the City where infill is appropriate and he would be in
favor of even higher density to support mass transit.
Commissioner Winston pointed out that Marks Mill Lane is a street stub -out and would provide potential
future connection to the south.
Commissioner Hoskins discussed the intent of the NC zoning, allowing buildings close to the street, reduced
grading on the uphill side, and more flexibility in clustering and design than under the RSF-4 zoning.
Commissioner Chesser asked about sidewalk and homes in NC zoning.
Garner discussed that homes are required to be built within the 0 -25 -foot build -to zone and that the intent is to
encourage homes and front porches close to the sidewalk.
Motion:
Commissioner Chesser made a motion to forward RZN 11-3824 to the City Council with a recommendation
for approval. Commissioner Hoskins seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of
6-0-0.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:35 PM.

PLANNING DIVISION CORRESPONDENCE
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Andrew Garner, Senior Planner
THRU: Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
DATE: June 20, 2011
PC Meeting of June 27, 2011

Fayetteville, AR 72701
Telephone: (479) 575-8267
ADM 11-3872: Administrative Item (6855 West Wedington Drive/Lois Guist, 434):
Submitted by LOIS GUIST for property located at 6885 WEST WEDINGTON DRIVE. The
property is zoned R -A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 2.23
acres. The request is for a variance to permit an accessory dwelling unit to be on the same
waterline as the principal residence. Planner: Andrew Garner
Findings:
Property Description: The subject property is located at 6885 Wedington Drive, contains
approximately 2.23 acres and is zoned R -A, Residential Agricultural. This property was annexed
into the City of Fayetteville by general election in 2006. There are three residences on this
property as follows:
Address Size (sq.ft.) Year Constructed Type Residence
6885 Wedington 1,377 1957 Single family detached
6859 Wedington 570 1972 Detached one -bedroom apartment
6855 Wedington 1,725 2010 Mobile home
Utilities: This area of Fayetteville does not have access to public sewer and is serviced by the
Washington Water Authority. All dwellings on this property are on septic systems and serviced
by Washington Water Authority. The primary dwelling at 6885 Wedington and the small one -
bedroom apartment at 6859 Wedington have shared the same water line since 1972, when the
apartment was constructed and connected to the Washington Water Authority system.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Application: The applicant has submitted an application to classify the
existing 570 square foot dwelling at 6859 Wedington as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in
accordance with City ordinance. The mobile home that was installed last year is in violation of
City zoning code because the property now has too many primary dwellings. The property owner
is in the process of trying to resolve the violation and the application for the ADU is the first step
in the process. If the ADU is approved the second step to resolve the violation is to go before the
Board of Adjustment to try and gain approval of lot area and lot width variances.
An ADU is subject to administrative design review and approval when the proposal meets the
standards outlined in Chapter 164.19(D), which limit the dwelling size and occupancy, regulate
the design of the dwelling to be compatible with the principal dwelling, and require that water

and sewer service for the ADU be connected directly to the public water and sewer system and
metered separately from the principal dwelling. Additionally, a property owner must
permanently occupy either the principal or accessory dwelling unit and must register the
dwellings on an annual basis with the Planning Division to verify occupancy requirements.
Proposal: The applicant requests Planning Commission approval of a variance request from
Chapter 164.19(D)(7), the requirement for the ADU to connect directly to the public water
system and be metered separately. As the property does not have access to the public sewer
system there is not a variance needed for that issue.
Discussion/Staff Recommendation:
The requirement for separate water taps was included in the ADU regulations primarily for
purposes of enforcement, as Chapter 164.19(J) permits the City to tum off water service to the
ADU should the property owner no longer reside on the property. A secondary purpose for this
requirement is for the Fayetteville Utilities Department (water and sewer) to understand the
impact of the additional dwelling units on City services. The Planning Commission has the
authority under Chapter 164.19(G) to grant a variance from the requirement for separate water
and sewer taps if a hardship exists. Given that this property was developed several decades ago
under the Washington Water Authority rules and regulations, staff finds that it would be a
hardship to require the property owner to construct a new separate water line connection to the
existing one -bedroom apartment.
Recommended Motion: Finding that it would be a hardship to require the applicant to construct
a separate water tap for the ADU, staff recommends approval of ADM 11-3872 subject to the
following condition:
Condition of Approval:
1. This variance is subject to approval by the Washington Water Authority.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to request a variance for a water tap. The guest house at 6859
w. Wedington Dr. has been on the same water tap as the main residence
addressed 6885 W. Wedington Dr. These two addresses have shared the
same water tap since 1972. This property has only been in the Fayetteville
city limits for approximately 5 years. This residence also uses Washington
water authority and not a Fayetteville water tap. "Thank you in advance for
considering this variance request if you have any questions please give me a
call at 442-7902.

VAC 11-3861: Vacation (1528 N. GARLAND/GARLAND TOWNHOMES, 405): Submitted
by 112 ENGINEERING, INC. for located at 1528 NORTH GARLAND AVENUE. The property
is zoned RMF -24, RESIDENTIAL MULTI -FAMILY 24 UNITS PER ACRE and contain
approximately 0.73 acre. The request is to vacate a portion of two utility easements.
Planner: Dara Sanders
Findings:
Property Description and Background: The subject property is located on Garland
Avenue, south of Sycamore Street, and contains approximately 0.73 acre. On June 2,
2009, the Planning Division approved a Site Improvement Plan application (SIP 09-3279)
on the subject property for two multi -family structures containing a total of 11 dwelling
units and associated parking, and a building permit was issued in August of 2009 for
construction of the development. During its construction, the property was foreclosed and
all work on the site ceased, leaving a majority of the infrastructure to be installed, the
parking lot to be paved and striped, and the interior of the buildings to be completed. The
property was recently purchased from the bank by the current property owner, and a new
survey of the property shows that the two substantially completed buildings encroach into
a utility easement located internal to the site, as indicated on the most recent survey
included in this packet.
Request: The applicant's request is to vacate two separate portions of the existing utility
easement to accommodate the substantially complete buildings, as indicated on the
attached survey.
The applicant has submitted the required easement vacation notification forms to the
utility companies and to the City with the result summarized below.
