A recommendation by the Planning Commission to forward the request to the City Council failed. BACKGROUND The property is zoned Commercial Planned Zoning District (CPZD) and contains approximately 2.37 acres. Staff is reviewing a property line adjustment that will create the lot configuration being rezoned. The site is undeveloped with access to Halsell Road and is within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. The property is part of an approximately 72-acre property know as Pratt Place Inn located at the top of Markham Road. The City Council rezoned the property to C-PZD in 2005 (Ord. No. 4786) to allow the property owners to operate an inn and restaurant, activities hall and parking lot for social events such as weddings and receptions. The CPZD approval also included a maximum of four residential dwelling units, three existing residences and one proposed innkeeper's residence. The Pratt Place Inn development is to the south of the property proposed for rezoning and well separated by a dense stand of mature trees. Access from this property to the Pratt Place Inn is not available. DISCUSSION On April 23, 2012 a recommendation by the Planning Commission to forward the rezoning request to the City Council failed by a vote of 2-6-0 (Commissioners Honchell and Noble voted yes). The applicant has appealed this decision to the City Council. BUDGETIMPACT None. ORDINANCE NO.

My wife, Jane, and I are the owners of this parcel which is held in the name of ArchertLC. We have been owners since 1979 and prior to that it was owned.by my mother. It was zoned R-1 until about 2006 when it was incorporated into the Pratt Place Inn PZD which includes about 70 acres. Under the existing zoning, nothing can be done with this property. Anyone familiar with Pratt Place Inn and Barn knows how much effort, time and treasure we have put into keeping Sassafras Hill (Markham Hill) looking natural. We are requesting a rezoning to R-4 of about one half of this parcel, or about 2.4 acres, so we can do a lot split of the portion of the parcel fronting on Halsell Road to the north. The split would be into three lots making each lot about .80 acres, far larger than the lots permitted under R-4 zoning. - If approved, this will create three residential lots which will carry the same protective covenants that were used in our nearby Bois d'Arc subdivision. While rezoning and the lot split will add three family homes to the neighborhood and the automobiles these three families will operate, its impact will be minimal considering the number of houses which could be # built on this acreage. The house size requirements, building material choices, and setbacks will enhance the entire neighborhood in the same way that Bois d'Arc has done. And, obviously, the three houses will add to the tax revenue for the county. I As well as I can determine from city plats, there is water and sewer in Halsell Road. It seems there is an 8" sewer line and a 2" water line which becomes 8" at the point where Halsell turns north and becomes Sang. Furthermore, there are electric and phone lines along Halsell.

These stream beds shall be be maintained by the lot owner so as to allow the stream to follow its existing natural course. Furthermore, these stream beds shall be maintained in such a manner that they do not become clogged in heavy rains and overflow their banks and run onto adjacent lots. 19.

The architecture review committee shall also have the responsibility of monitoring the actual construction and site development to assure adherence to the approved plans. Later, the architecture review committee shall be appointed by the property owners association once that association is operative and when residences have been constructed on all the lots in this subdivision or when all lot owners in Bois d'Arc have constructed residences therein. This latter provision is to take into account the a situation where lot owners have purchased one or more adjacent lots with the intention of building on only one of them. 21. Nothing in these covenants shall be deemed to restrict the rights of the subdivider or the property owners association within said development to establish and enforce other rules, regulations, and covenants governing the operation, ownership, and maintenance of said development. In no event, however, shall said rules and regulations so promulgated have any force and effect if the same shall conflict with these covenants of assurance, and to the extent that such rules and regulations shall conflict with these covenants of assurance, said rules and regulations shall be null, void, and of no effect whatsoever.

These covenants and restrictions are to run with the land, and shall be binding upon the subdivider and/or developer, his successors and assigns for a period of fifty (50) years from the date hereof. At any time within six (6) months from the expiration period, a 3/4 majority of the lot owners may express their intention in writing, drafted so as to be recorded with the registrar of deeds, that they no longer wish for said covenants of assurance to remain in full force and effect, and the same shall therefore be terminated as of the expiration date. In the event that no such action is taken, then these covenants shall continue for an additional period of five years, and may then be terminated in accordance with the terms set forth for the original termination. It is further provided that, should a two-thirds (2/3) majority of lot owners at any time wish to amend these covenants of assurance, either by adding to or taking from the present form, the same shall be incorporated into a written instrument capable of being recorded as above referred to and under the same terms and conditions thereof. 23. If any of the parties hereto, or their successors in title, or their heirs or assigns shall violate or attempt to violate any of 98105335 DEC -02-1998 16:54 PRUDENTIAL WINDMILL RLTY 5U1 44d 74dd r. wd/d.i these covenants or restrictions as herein above set forth, prior to the expiration or termination of these covenants of assurance, both in the original term and continuations thereof, then it shall be lawful and authorized for any person or persons, either as a class or singularly, who own any lot in this subdivision, or any portion thereof, to prosecute any proceedings at law or in equity against the person or persons so violating, or attempting to violate, any such covenant or restriction, and thereby either prevent said violation, or recover damages or other penalties for such violation including attorney's fees and court costs and, further, to utilize any and all other remedies at law which may now exist or which may hereafter apply. 24. All owners of property described herein above shall belong to the association known as the Bois d'Arc Property Owners Association, which association shall be duly created pursuant to the laws of the State of Arkansas. That association shall be governed by a Board of Directors consisting of persons owning property within the Bois d'Arc Subdivision and elected to office by the property owners herein and shall be managed according to the by-laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The authority of the Board of Directors in the enforcement of these covenants of assurance and in the enforcement of the rules and regulations of said association shall be absolute, and all owners consent to said enforcement by their purchase of real property and dwellings hereunder. Among its other powers, said Board of Directors shall have the authority to make special and/or annual assessments against the real property and dwellings of the owners in order to obtain the means required to maintain the common areas and to carry out such projects for Bois d'Arc as the Board of Directors deems necessary.

Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 ;phone: (479)575-8267 RZN 12-4077: Rezone (HALSELL ROAD/PRATT PLACE INN, 481): Submitted by BATES AND ASSOCIATES for property located on HALSELL ROAD. The property is zoned C-PZD, COMMERCIAL PLANNED ZONING DISTRICT (PRATT PLACE INN) and contains approximately 2.37 acres. The request is to rezone a portion of the Pratt Place Inn property to RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE. Planner: Jesse Fulcher BACKGROUND: Property Description: The property is zoned Commercial Planned Zoning District (CPZD) and contains approximately 2.37 acres. Staff is reviewing a property line adjustment that will create the lot configuration being rezoned. The site is undeveloped with access to Halsell Road and is within the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District. The property is part of an approximately 72 -acre property know as Pratt Place Inn located at the top of Markham Road. The City Council rezoned the property to C-PZD in 2005 (Ord. No. 4786) to allow the property owners to operate an inn and restaurant, activities hall and parking lot for social events such as weddings and receptions. The CPZD approval also included a maximum of four residential dwelling units, three existing residences and one proposed innkeeper's residence. Surrounding land use is listed in Table 1.

This will allow the applicant to split and develop single-family homes on the property, currently prohibited by the Planned Zoning District zoning. Public Comment: Staff has received questions from a property owner in the area. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding RZN 12-4077 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval based on findings stated herein. ACTION: Date: April 23, 2012 O Tabled O Forwarded 4 Denied Motion: Cabe Second: Noble Vote: 2-6-0 (Motion to forward failed) CITY COUNCIL ACTION: O Approved O Denied Date: May 15, 2012 INFRASTRUCTURE: Streets: The site has access to Halsell Road. Halsell Road is an unimproved two lane residential city street. Street improvements will be evaluated at the time of development. Water: Public water is available to the property. The 8" water main at the northwest comer switches to a 2" line along the north side of the property. Public water main improvements will need to be extended through the property to provide domestic and fire flow for any proposed development Sewer: Sanitary sewer is available to the site. There is an 8" main at the northeast comer of the site. Public sewer main improvements may need to be extended through the property at the time of development. Drainage: Standard improvements and requirements for drainage will be required for any development. This property is not affected by the 100 -year floodplain and the G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2012\Development Review\12-4077 RZN (Pratt Place Inn)\06 Planning Cornmission\04- 23-2012\Comments and Redlines Streamside Protection Zones Police: The Fayetteville Police Department has not expressed concerns with this request. Fire: The Fayetteville Fire Department has not expressed concerns with this request. CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates a majority of this site as Rural Residential Area. These areas recognize existing low - density, large lot residential development, but are identified to encourage the conservation and preservation of woodlands, grasslands and agricultural lands that are sparsely settled. FINDINGS OF THE STAFF A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans. Finding: Staff finds the proposal for low -density residential development to be consistent with the rural residential land use designation. Generally, this designation is limited to outlying properties that lack adequate street and water infrastructure or public services such as police and fire. However, there are a few properties closer to the center of the city where low density development is encouraged to preserve woodlands, grasslands or agricultural lands, despite having adequate public infrastructure to support higher density development. This piece of the "Markham Hill" property is heavily wooded and located in the Hillside/Hilltop Overlay District, restricting development potential. However, it is in a residential setting along Halsell Road that supports a standard subdivision development pattern. 2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the rezoning is proposed. Finding: The current zoning of the property, C-PZD, prohibits any future development on the approximately 72 -acre property. The proposed rezoning will allow a 2.37 acre section along Halsell Road to be developed for single-family homes. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion. Finding: The property is currently undeveloped, so any new development will increase traffic on surrounding streets. However, the size of the site and density will limit the number of houses and corresponding traffic, such that there won't be an increase in traffic danger or congestion. G:\ETC\Development Services Review\2012\Development Review\I2-4077 RZN (Pratt Place Inn)\06 Planning Commission\04- 23-2012\Comments and Redlines 4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and sewer facilities. Finding: As noted in Finding #3, the size of the property and density limits the development potential of the site, and in staffs opinion, future development will not undesirably increase the load on public services. Comments from the Engineering and Police Departments are included. 5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as: a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted under its existing zoning classifications; b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the proposed zoning is not desirable.

Mountain Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 Dear Director Pate, This document is in response to the request for comments on the proposed RZN 12-4077 (Halsell Road / Pratt Place Inn, 481) submitted by Bates and Associates for property located on Halsell Road. It is the opinion of the Fayetteville Police Department that this RZN will not substantially alter the population density, and will not create an appreciable or undesirable increase in the load on police services. This RZN will create an increase in traffic danger and congestion on the narrow two lane residential streets in the area. There are no sidewalks on the north or south side of the roadway in the planned area. A sidewalk is needed for pedestrians due to the increased automobile traffic from this RZN.

Kindly forward this request to the City Clerk and ask that this matter be put on the Fayetteville City Council agenda at the earliest possible date. Sincerely, Julian and Jane Archer, owners 2115 West Markham Road Fayetteville, AR 72701 Tel. and fax 582-5443 file://C:\Documents and Settings\ssmith.000\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\4F97DD98F... 4/25/2012 RECEIVED MAY 14 2012 CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE May 8, 2012 To Mayor Lioneld Jordan and members of the Fayetteville City Council, This is a memorandum to provide some background on our appeal of the Planning Commission's decision in regard to our rezoning request (RZN-12-4077). BACKGROUND: My wife Jane and I own approximately 140 acres west of the University of Arkansas and east of I-540. This property was purchased by my grandfather Cassius Pratt in 1900 and was inherited from my mother Evangeline Pratt Waterman Archer in 1979. Not surprisingly, we have received numerous unsolicited offers to sell it, either for a development (it was zoned at the time R- 1, now called R-4), or for a huge retirement complex for those who wanted to be in close proximity to the University with all of its cultural and sports offerings, or for private student housing complexes similar to the ones in the offing now around the campus. Instead of selling the whole thing, we held onto it and covered our expenses with the sale of certain portions. The first was a three lot split of 5 acres north of the intersection of Cross and Halsell, then a four lot split of 10 acres off of Hotz, then a three lot split of four acres east of the intersection of Cross and Halsell, then a sale of about 15 acres which became the Waterman Woods development, then a two lot split of 2 '/2 acres north of the intersection of Sang and Center (now Haskell), and then a development we did called Bois d'Arc of 19 lots on 25 acres which follows Osage Bend from Cleveland to Sang. All of these lot splits and the development have lots far larger than the minimum city requirements and all of them have protective covenants accompanying the land title which, among other things, provide us with architectural control of all construction. Only our first lot split had no covenants, much to our regret. This 140 acres is a larger enclave, almost half again as large as the land Alice Walton has provided the Crystal Bridges Museum, and exists near the heart of Fayetteville, a city twice the size of Bentonville. We, of course, do not have the financial resources for preservation that Ms. Walton does and so had to create in 2005-2006 Pratt Place Inn and Barn as a "commercial" venue for lodging and events. This was done by creating a PZD. Alderman Lucas said at the time, "I hope in five years that the inn goes so that it never changes." Five years have past and, despite the recession starting in 2008 the inn is "going," having opened with a AAA four -diamond rating, the only inn or hotel in Northwest Arkansas with such a designation and one of only four in the State of Arkansas. It was Planning Division Director Tim Conklin's idea that the PZD encompass 72 acres instead of our 10 or so acre proposal. We were willing to accept that in 2005 because at the time we did not foresee any complications with it. Our request now before the Planning Commission and the City Council is to take 2.4 acres out of the PZD and do a four lot split, leaving the PZD essentially intact. Let me paint for you a different picture. If Pratt Place Inn and Barn had failed, as have many projects in this area, the entire PZD and part of the remaining 70 acres to the west of it would have been taken over by banks and sold to developers. If anyone bothers to look at the liens on the property, they can see that Metropolitan Bank, Arkansas Capital, and Bank of America have what are for us staggering obligations owed to them. Further, The Bank of the Ozarks had a lien on another 40 acres to secure their Performance Bond made out to the City of Fayetteville. If you have not had the occasion to visit either the inn or the barn, we hope that you will make time to do so before the May 15 council meeting. Just stop by and someone on the staff will be pleased to show you around. HALSELL ROAD 2.4 -ACRE LOT SPLIT (RZN 12-4077): It is bizarre and quite inexplicable to us why the Planning Commission denied our request on April 23. Audience turnout was minimal and no one wrote in opposition, though we understand some phone calls were made in opposition. Our letter of March 13, 2012, makes clear that we are requesting a four lot split, not the possible 10 lots (nor a subdivision), and there is a detailed plat provided showing that. We have reaffirmed this with a Bill of Assurance to the City of Fayetteville dated May 2, 2012. The main issue being raised seems to be about the nature of the "buffer" that the 72 -acre PZD would provide. This is what is brought up in Ms. Stacey Park's email to you of May 7 as well as comments by James "Butch" Coger at the April 23 Planning Commission meeting and by Commissioner Kyle Cook (former Alderman Cook at the time of the PZD hearings of the City Council in 2005). The "buffer" question is a complete misreading and inaccurate recollection of the discussions at the City Council meetings of September 20, October 4 and 18, and November 1, 2005. Never once was the PZD described as a "buffer" at these meetings and Alderman Cook did not speak at all, neither to ask a question nor to make a comment, at any of these four meetings. The main concerns were about traffic volume, road width, sidewalks, and curb and gutter drainage. We will provide copies of the minutes of these meetings, rather than drawing upon a memory of what was said seven years ago, to any of you who would like them. In his City Council Agenda Memo of August 31, 2005, then Director of Current Planning, Jeremy Pate, noted on page 5 concerning tree preservation that "The project shall meet or exceed the minimum percent canopy (25%) required for a Planned Zoning Development." It was not an issue since the 72 -acre PZD was, still is, and always will be heavily wooded. In the 16 Conditions of Approval proposed by the Planning Division, Condition 9 stated that "At all times a significant tree canopy and vegetative buffer (visual and physical) shall be maintained adjacent to surrounding properties in Planning Area 1, where non-residential activities are to occur." This has been the case and would continue to be the case even if every tree and bush on the 2.4 acre proposed lot split were removed! Such a removal of the "tree canopy and vegetative buffer" is not permitted either by the city or our protective covenants. A look at our previous lot splits and development will show how well this has worked. It is interesting that the opposition to the Halsell lot split comes not from the adjacent property owners, with one possible exception, but from a couple of people who live quite a distance away and cannot see from their property the 2.4 acres in question and have little or no reason even to drive on Halsell. At the Planning Commission meetings of August and September, 2006, about the PZD there was some discussion about a tree "buffer", but this revolved around the need to widen Markham Road, provide a sidewalk, install drainage pipes and curb and gutters which would entail taking down trees. The questioners were assured by staff that a Tree Preservation Plan would be required. (It should be noted that the Pratt Place PZD was the only application processed through a new procedure of getting City Council approval first and then going to the Planning Commission. Shortly afterward the procedure reverted to the original application routing.) 01/31/2010 10:45 2461427 JULIAN ARCHER PAGE 05/05 Perhaps all of the above is more than you care to know about this question, but we do not want you to have to try to inform yourselves about it while the council meeting is in progress and certain people are making inaccurate statements, without adequate time to make your decision. SincErcly, t4 6' Julian Archer Page 1 of I City Clerk-Halsell Road rezoning RZN 12-4077 From: Ethel Simpson <esimpson@uark.edu> To: <city_clerk@ci.fayetteville.ar.us> Date: 6/1/2012 1:50 PM Subject: Halsell Road rezoning RZN 12-4077 Halsell Road rezoning RZN 12-4077 This is to register my opposition, as a resident on Halsell Road, to this request for rezoning the property at the junction of Sang Avenue and Halsell Road. Access to this property from Sang/Halsell seems problematic because of the steep topography of the land at that point, and preparing sites for several houses would surely require considerable grading and earth -moving, with ill effects on the surrounding area. The narrow streets on either side of this juncture are not conducive to additional traffic. But MORE IMPORTANT, the PZD that allowed the establishment of the Pratt Place Inn-- and the events barn and the tailgating facilities-- stipulated the reservation of large tracts of wooded land along Markham Road, Cross Avenue, and Sang Avenue. These reserved lands were conceded as a buffer against the intrusions of the development into a residential neighborhood. The conditions of the PZD must not be set aside now. Ethel C. Simpson 409 N.

I live at 1777 W. Halsell Road, and my property borders a portion of the large Commercial PZD that is known as the Pratt Place in C-PZD. I am not adjacent to the specific lot in this rezoning request. As I understand it, this is an appeal to rezone property that was initially part of the commercial PZD establishing the Pratt Place Inn (and barn). On the face of it, the requested RSF-4 certainly seems appropriate for the neighborhood. However, those on the City Council (and Planning Commission) at the time likely recall that the protracted approval process for the Pratt Place Inn was granted largely due to the setting -aside of large tracts of the developer's property within the C-PZD. Included in this C-PZD is land on either side of Markham and Cross (by their intersection) and the land on the south end of Sang (both sides). In the newspaper article a few weeks ago, the agent for developer asked "What are the Pratt Place Inn owners to do with the property if they can't rezone it?". That question was answered by the Pratt Place Inn owners themselves when they specifically requested such a large area placed within the PZD in order to gain approval of Pratt Place Inn C-PZD by the commission and council. This request is not the same as an individual land owner trying to develop an isolated parcel. This parcel was codified as part of the whole Pratt Place Inn C-PZD. I believe that if this rezoning of the C-PZD is granted, the developer will have succeeded in creating a very effective shelter for their properties by including land in the C-PZD only until it becomes economically advantageous to sell off a parcel (and have it rezoned). If granted, I believe that this first attempt to "chip away" at the large, approved C-PZD will certainly be referenced as the developer decides to sell off additional tracts of the C-PZD in the future and request additional rezoning. Therefore, I do not support the rezoning request. I do appreciate your service to the city, and respect that your decisions never satisfy all parties concerned. At the end of the day, you have my respect and support, regardless of the final decisions reached. Tim Kring 1777 W.

The request was denied by the Planning Commission on April 23 greatly appreciate their decision. In the original request by the Archers to establish the CPZD for Pratt Place, there was an agreement to leave a buffer between the commercial uses of the Archers and the surrounding, established residential neighborhood. This land should remain part of the PZD as it was originally established. This is what the Archers and the City agreed upon at the time. It is important as our city grows and there is an increased pressure to build, that we respect the agreements made in the past. As residents, we rely on your insight and decision making to protect our established neighborhoods. Additionally, this property is on a very steep hillside, fronting a narrow and curved street. It is not very suitable for building and provides an excellent opportunity for green space. Thank you very much for your consideration Barbara Fraleigh 1624 W.

A great deal of neighborhood input and time went into the settlement in '05 of this PZD request and for good reason. Putting a substantial commercial development into the middle of a private home neighborhood is very intrusive and reaching a compromise with neighbors after a long and laborious process requires much effort on both sides of an issue. Once zoning is established, people go ahead and make plans around those parameters about their own property, even decisions of whether to continue to stay on land they originally purchased for its specific characteristics. Zoning is a city promise of sorts, an agreement that property owners count on without worrying that their chosen spot will be altered greatly and their investment decreased because of a broken promise or a change in property use by a neighbor. This is the situation with the Halsell rezoning request before you. This is not an infill issue or even a single property owner's rights issue. It is an issue about an agreement made with a neighborhood in order to broker the placement of a commercial entity, that comes with numerous activities that create noise and traffic, where it would ordinarily not be allowed. This PZD rezoning was reached in 2005, and weakening its restrictions now, while the neighborhood conditions and character surrounding this commercial space have not changed, is not right. file://C:\Documents and Settings\lbranson\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\4FCD382FFAY... 6/5/2012 Page 2 of 2 Chipping away at the PZD here could easily lead to more chipping later, rendering the PZD concept and promise worthless not just in this location but city-wide.

I stand by my letter of June 1, and wish to call to attention a few additional points: The PZD was structured to allow a commercial development within a solidly residential area of Fayetteville. In the ordinance as written, in the "Required Findings for the Rezoning Request" (Immediately following Staffs recommendation for approval of the original PZD) "...due to the fact that much of the property zoned RSF-4 is being restricted from development altogether. " At the April 23, 2012 Planning Commission meeting, the commission voted to deny this rezoning request immediately after commissioner Cook made the following observations (His comments begin at 1:56:00 of the meeting video, below): o He served on city council in 2006 when this was approved, and the decision was made "after quite a few meetings, and concerns were addressed not only about the barn, residences cabins, but also about quite a few properties up there". o There was "some barterting, if you will, and an agreement that development would only be the 4 dwellings, and they highlighted what they would be" and that "the rest of the property would remain as it is". o The PZD was "the agreement with the City Council, and that is the agreement that I should stick with" o "It was determined back then, through many, many meetings of discussion, that that is the way the planning area would be" o This is the link to the video of the meeting: http:/laccessfayetteville.t!ranicus.cona/.MediaPlaver.php?view id=2&clip id=1824 This is not a simple rezoning of an isolated piece of property. This rezoning request amends a city ordinance passed by a previous city council after many discussions and due process. I suspect (and hope) that you would be redicent to revisit any contentious past issue (e.g., the smoking ban) to make allowences specifically forbidden in the resulting ordinance. I ask that you consider the implications of revisiting ordinances so quickly after they are passed. I also ask that you consider what impact this zoning modification would have on future PZD ordinances that you will address. Finally, it only makes sense to consider this rezoning request of such a "fresh" PZD if there has been some substantial change to the PZD or the area. To my knowledge there has been no change in these environments, and therefore it makes no logical sense to change the this PZD as approved. I ask that you respect the work, efforts and decisions of the City Council that preceeded you and the Planning Commission that works for us now and deny this rezoning request. Tim Kring 1777 W.
