Page 1 of 6
Conditions of Approval for R-PZD 09-3237 (Markham Hill Cottage Courts)
As approved by the City Council 07-21-09
1. The developer shall be required to construct the following street improvements:
a. A minimum pavement width of 14 feet from centerline (20 feet total minimum),
curb, gutter, storm drain, and five-foot sidewalk on Maine Street and Cross Avenue
along the project frontage;
b. Extension of storm drains off-site as necessary, determined by the City Engineer;
c. Widening the curve around Nettleship Street/Cross Avenue as indicated on the plans;
d. Street lights along Maine, Cross and Nettleship as required by code; and
e. Construction of a shared 12-foot multi-use trail and one-way concrete alley in the
existing Sang Avenue right-of-way connecting the western edge of the new
Sutherland Lane and Maine Street, as indicated on the plans. This shared trail/alley
shall be marked with the "sharrow" symbols as coordinated with the City Trails
Coordinator at the time of construction.
2. The City Council determines the following variances of minimum street design standards:
a. The applicant requests a variance to allow different street cross section than required
by the current Master Street Plan standard (UDC §166.06 (K)(10)(a) and
166.08(C)(14)). The applicant proposes on-street parallel parking on both sides of
the street in the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District,sidewalks on one side of the street,
and right-of-way width of 39 feet for Sutherland Lane. The Master Street Plan does
not have cross-sections in the design as proposed. Staff recommends approval of the
requested street design standards finding they deal with a unique site allowing for
reduced grading and pavement and increased tree preservation in the HHOD,and will
result in safe ingress/egress into and out of the development. APPROVED
b. A variance of UDC § 171.01 (A)to allow for the proposed Sutherland Lane vertical
profile in an attempt to match the natural terrain and minimize grading and tree
removal: Street grade of 16.86%for approximately 75 linear feet;crest vertical curve
K-value of 7.42; sag vertical curve K-value of 7.78. Staff recommends approval of
the requested variances. APPROVED
c. A variance of UDC § 171.02 (C) to permit a 5-foot curb return radius at the
intersection of the new Sutherland Lane and Cross Avenue, when a 30-foot curb
return radius is required,is denied*.A variance to allow a 20-foot curb return radius
with the provision of landscape"bump-outs"is approved*. APPROVED*
d. A variance of UDC § 171.01(A) that requires a minimum of 100-foot tangent
between horizontal curves. The west end of the proposed Sutherland Lane was unable
to meet this requirement due to the narrow width (138 feet) of the property in this
location. Staff recommends approval of this variance. APPROVED
3. Determination of a variance of UDC § 172.02(B)to allow for gravel in the motor court areas
when pavement or a paving system is required. The applicant proposes to provide a 3-year
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
Ordinance 5256
R-PZD 09-3237
Page 2 of 6
bond for paving of this area with asphalt or chip and seal pavement in the case of a failure of
the gravel paving surface. The determination of failure of the gravel surface would be at the
discretion of the City Engineer,and the developer would be required to pave the motor courts
immediately, or the bond would be used to have the motor courts paved. Staff recommends
in favor of this variance finding that the design of the motor court areas to drain away from
the public right-of-way, combined with the installation of concrete aprons on the driveway
approach should prevent gravel from being washed or pulled into the street. Further, the
requirement of a bond to allow the City funds to pave the gravel areas provides assurance
that if the gravel does not work effectively the City would have an enforcement measure to
correct the problem.A cost estimate for the installation of pavement in the motor courts shall
be submitted as part of the construction review for the individual motor courts. Payment of
the bond shall occur immediately prior to issuance of construction permits for the individual
motor courts. Homes and drives shall be constructed such that if parking in the motor courts
is necessary, the drainage and elevation of structures would function effectively.
APPROVED
4. Determination of a variance of UDC § 172.02(D)(3)(iv) to permit an eight-foot (8') curb
return radius into the motor courts when a 15-foot radius is required. The applicant's
variance request discussed that since service vehicles are not required to enter the motor
courts the intersections would still function property, and the smaller curb return radius
would reduce vehicle speeds creating a safer environment for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Staff recommends approval of this proposed variance finding agreement with the applicant's
justification with the requirement that signage be installed indicating"No Service Vehicles"
in the motor courts. APPROVED
5. Determination of the proposed phasing plan.This project is required to obtain all permits in
accordance with the Phasing as listed and depicted in the PZD booklet and noted below.
Extensions may be approved subject to the criteria in UDC Chapter 166 for extensions.
■ The applicant shall obtain all construction permits for construction of
streets and all other public infrastructure within one year of City Council
approval of the PZD.
■ The applicant shall obtain all building permits for all residential units and
accessory structures within five years from City Council approval of the
PZD.
APPROVED
Staff recommends the following requirements associated with the construction phasing:
■ To prevent large areas of the site from being disturbed without homes being
built, construction permits for the individual motor court/retaining wall
areas shall not be permitted prior to application for building permits within
those areas to be disturbed.
■ Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any residence,
construction of the common infrastructure and amenities for that area of the
site around the residence including the motor courts, retaining walls,
pedestrian paths, drainage, landscaping, etc. shall be required to be

APPROVED
6. The applicant shall dedicate right-of-way as follows by easement plat or separate document
prior to building permit:
a. 25 feet from centerline along Maine Street and Cross Avenue.
b. 39 feet for the construction of Sutherland Lane.

d. Local street stub-outs to the southern property line to allow for future street
connection.
e. Adequate right-of-way to construct the improvements at the intersection/curve of
Nettleship Street and Cross Avenue.
7. To ensure that the intent of the PZD is met and pedestrian trails are functional and do not
result in erosion or safety issues, the pedestrian trails may be constructed of alternative
materials rather than a typical concrete or asphalt sidewalk,but the material,such as crushed
stone or brick, etc. should be installed with a "stabilizer". All materials and method of
construction shall be reviewed and approved by the Trails Coordinator.
8. No parallel parking spaces are allowed within 30 feet of a stop sign (Fayetteville Code of
Ordinance Section 72.03(G)). The applicant shall coordinate all striping of streets and
parallel spaces with the Transportation Division and Fire Department, as the ultimate
administrators of these code sections.
9. Solid Waste Service. All comments regarding solid waste service shall be addressed prior to
building permit approval. Residential carts/recycle bins are anticipated to be utilized at
common collection points.
10. A sign indicating a future street extension shall be installed at the Sutherland Lane stub-out
on the western property line at the time of construction completion of the street, or as
determined by Planning staff.
11. Off-site water and sewer, and drainage improvements shall be installed as determined
necessary by the Engineering Division to provide domestic service and fire protection to the
development, and to ensure the project meets all applicable drainage criteria.
12. Payment of Parks fees in lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of$26,120 for 18 single
family and thirteen two-family units shall be paid prior to issuance of a building permit for
the first unit in this development.

the PZD and LSD plans shall be included as requirements of the project. These amenities
shall be constructed prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for the surrounding
cottages, to be determined by Planning staff at the time of construction.
17. No portion of any structure (i.e., porches, overhangs, etc.) shall encroach into building
setbacks or utility easements. Encroachment of structures or any portion of a structure shall
comply with all applicable Building Codes unless otherwise and specifically approved by the
City Council at the time of development.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Jeremy C. Pate, Development Services Director
From: Andrew Garner, Senior Planner
Date: June 24, 2009
Subject: Residential Planned Zoning District
Markham Hill Cottage Courts (R-PZD 09-3237)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of an ordinance creating a Residential
Planned Zoning District (R-PZD) for Markham Hill Cottage Courts, based on the
development standards, plans and statement of commitments submitted. This action will
establish a unique zoning district for a 44-unit residential development(18 single and 13 two-
family units) on 2.98 acres.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located north of Maine Street and west of Cross Avenue, less than
0.25-mile west of the University of Arkansas Campus. The property contains approximately
2.98 acres on the south slope of Markham Hill and is largely wooded and within the
Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. The property is surrounded by a mix of residential uses
ranging from multi-family development to the west and east, single- and two-family
residential to the south, and undeveloped wooded hillside to the north. Ramay Junior High
School is approximately one block to the south. On August 19, 2008 the City Council
approved R-PZD 08-2980 Markham Hill Cottage Courts for 18 single family and five two-
family cottages (28 units total). Since that time the developer acquired additional property at
the northwest corner of Maine Street/Cross Street increasing the site from 2.54 to 2.98 acres.
The project layout has been modified and the overall number of units increased from 28 to
44. The development concept is similar to the previous project although the overall changes
require a new PZD application,which has been submitted under the same project name.
The request is for rezoning, land use and large scale development approval for a residential
development within an R-PZD zoning district on the subject property. Should the PZD be
approved as proposed, it would result in immediate development approval of 31 detached
cottages, 18 single and 13 two-family.
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission voted 6-0-1 (Trumbo recused) in favor of this request on June 22,
2009. Recommended conditions were approved by the Planning Commission and are
reflected in the attached staff report.
BUDGETIMPACT
None.
