LSD 02.29.10
Dear Members of the Fayetteville City Council,
Houses Development Company, LLC has appealed the Planning
Commission's decision on May 27, 2003 of Houses Development Company's
Large Scale Development proposal (LSD 02.29.10).
While Houses Development Company, L.L.C. (HDC), as owner of this
property, is pleased that the Planning Commission approved much of the
proposed project as submitted, the Planning Commission only addressed part
of HDC's proposal with respect to offsite improvements. The Commission's
approval of this LSD is subject to HDC providing a connection within the
purported street right of way for Center Street between Olive and Walnut
Streets. The Commission also recommended that the City Council approve a
cost-sharing proposal by HDC that the City pay for 53% of said offsite
improvements. However, the Planning Commission failed to consider HDC's
alternative proposal to construct Olive Avenue as a residential street to
service this new development as described in Section 1) of our May 6, 2003
letter to the Planning Commission (attached hereto) and as addressed at
both the concept plat meeting and the meeting of May 27, 2003.
The reason HDC made this alternative proposal was to provide a legal
means of accessing and servicing this development in the event the City
Council did not approve a cost sharing arrangement. However, subsequent
to the May 27th meeting, the City staff has determined that no right of way
exists for what has been for decades an erroneously platted unimproved
portion of Center Street. Therefore, HDC would submit that its original plan
for offsite improvements serving this LSD should be approved as previously
requested.
• •
Attached also find a detailed description and illustrations of our proposed
project, along with copies of the pertinent communications regarding the
more than 2 year history of this submittal.
Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing this matter, and
please contact me with any questions that you may have.
Sincerely,
Gregory T. House for

For Houses Development Company, LLC

Fayetteville, AR 72701
Dear Mr. House:
In response to your letter received July 28, 2003, we have answered each of your four questions
related to Sequoyah Commons large scale development below:
1. After the Planning Commission approval, Mrs. Jessie Bryant, a property owner in the
City Addition brought her deed to the Planning Division and requested that we prove to
her that the 15' of right-of-way shown on the City Atlas was officially dedicated to the
City. The City hired WACO Title to research and to determine if the 15 feet of right-of-
way had been dedicated to the City. That research led to the conclusion that there were
"no recorded easements for right-of-way for Center Street (Please see attached Certificate
from WACO).
2. Section 166.05 C 7 of the Unified Development Code "Miscellaneous Requirements"
requires new development to construct the onsite and offsite improvements requirements
associated with the development. In order to implement the City's policy of connectivity,
staff has recommended to the Planning Commission the on-site and off-site
improvements that where shown on your Targe scale development plan as approved by
the Planning Commission. This recommendation creates a second access for the
development and follows the recorded plans for the original subdivision. This
recommendation also acknowledges the fact that staff is recommending the off-site
improvements and acquisition of additional right-of-way for Center Street in exchange
for improvements (additional street right-of-way on Center, street improvements,
underground drainage, sidewalks, street lights) to Fletcher Street and Center Street
adjacent to the property. The plans to develop a traditional urban design based on lots
and blocks in the Mt. Sequoyah area was established in 1891 with the City Addition and
in 1888 with the Harrison Addition and has been followed in the developed areas.
• •
3. Sec attached calculation by staff and acknowledged by your engineer, Mandy Bunch.
4. Staff recommends that we follow the recorded subdivision plats for this arca and will not
modify its recommendation based on density or land use. The recorded subdivisions in
this area represent good traditional urban design principals of building neighborhoods on
a lot and block design regardless of the density or land use proposed. Overall, the
principals we are trying to follow result in the creation of neighborhoods that provide
street frontage and access to homes and apartments avoiding the development of isolated
projects or structures with only one way in and out and separating the development from
the overall neighborhood.
Please let us know if you still intend to appeal to the City Council the Planning Commission's
decision to require the Center Street connection. If you have any additional questions or need
more clarification regarding this letter, please Icts us know and we can set up a meeting to
answer any additional questions you may have.

Dear Ms. Smith,
Please consider this a formal appeal of the Planning Commission's decision on
May 27, 2003 of Houses Development Company's Large Scale Development proposal
referred to above.
While Houses Development Company, L.L.C. (HDC), as owner of this property, is
pleased that the Planning Commission approved much of the proposed project as
submitted, the Planning Commission only addressed part of HDC's proposal with
respect to offsite improvements. The Commission's approval of this LSD is subject to
HDC providing a connection within the existing street R.O.W. for Center Street
between Olive and Walnut Streets. The Commission also recommended that the
City Council approve a cost sharing proposal by HDC that the City pay for 53% of
said offsite improvements. However, the Planning Commission failed to consider
HDC's alternative proposal to construct Olive Avenue as a residential street to service
this new development as described in Section 1) of our May 6, 2003 letter to the

The reason HDC made this alternative proposal was to provide a legal means of
accessing and servicing this development in the event the City Council did not
approve a cost sharing arrangement. Therefore, as we discussed, I would propose
that this appeal be scheduled for hearing following a hearing on the cost sharing
issue as the necessity of our appeal might be rendered moot.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter and please feel free to
contact me if you require any further information.

RE SEQUOYAH COMMONS OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS

I am writing to discuss the off-site improvements made necessary by our
project on Olive Street. Having debated this issue at length with the City
Planning Staff and our civil and traffic engineers, we believe that the traffic
and access issues for this project can be met in one of two ways:
1) Bring Olive into conformity as a residential street by improving Olive
avenue from Spring Street to the Center Street right of way as
follows: widen the existing street to 24' back of curb to back of curb,
overlay the existing paving, construct the new portion adjacent to our
property to 28' wide (to accommodate on street parking) install a 4'
concrete sidewalk on one side of Olive Avenue and install storm
drainage to code. The capacity for a residential street is 300 to 500
trips per day. The total load on Olive at completion is projected at
395 per day. With these improvements, our LSD proposal will meet
every requirement of the law, including the Unified Development
Ordinance and the International Fire Protection Code;
2) The alternative planning staff is requesting would be to leave Olive
Avenue as is, (though making sure that it is at least 20' wide) improve
Olive adjacent to our project, and build Center Street between Olive
and Walnut, with the necessary waivers requested in our latest
submittal. This portion of Center Street is desired by the City Planner
for purposes of "connectivity.” Based upon the LSD Ordinance, our
share of the costs for these improvements is limited to the "Rational
Nexus" of need for the street being created by our project. In
discussion with the City Planning Staff, we determined that the ratio of
our project to the total units served by this new street would be
approximately 43%. We should bear no more than 43% of the cost of
the work to construct these improvements, and that the City of
Fayetteville should provide the remaining 570/0.

us to improve Olive Avenue or allow us to pay our share of the Center Street
construction.

Revised Traffic Impact and Safety Study
Faycttevillc, Arkansas
Dear Mr. house:
As you requested, we have prepared this revised letter report to document our findings regarding
the referenced traffic study.
Back round
Peters & Associates Engineers, Inc. conducted a traffic impact study for a proposed residential
apartment complex development located on the east side of Olive Avenue and south of Spring
Sheet in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The site is proposed to consist of 39 apanment units and its
location is shown below:

This is a report of methodology and findings relating to a traffic cnginccring study undertaken to:
n
Evaluate existing traffic conditions in the vicinity.
o Ascertain projected traffic c operating conditions on streets proposed to serve the site.
Identify the effects on traffic operations resulting from existing traffic in combination
with site -generated traffic associated with the development.
u Evaluate proposed access to the site and make recommendations for mitigative
improvements which may be necessary and appropriate to ensure minimum impact and
acceptable traffic operations.
o Evaluate traffic safely considerations in the vicinity of the site.
In the following sections of this report there arc presented Traffic data, study methods, findings
and recommendations of this traffic engineering investigation. The traffic engineering study is
technical in nature. Analysis techniques employed arc those most commonly uscd in the traffic
engineering profession. Certain data and calculations relative to traffic operational analysis are
referenced in the report. This consultant and the City of Fayetteville conducted 24-hour Traffic
counts at the locations depicted on Figure I, "Existing 24-Iiour Traffic Volumes" for the
proposed apartment complex.
Street System
Olive Avenue is a two-way street that varies in width from 18 feet to 20 feet. Presently, Olive
Avenue provides the only access to the site. This asphalt street is constructed without curh and
gutter. There are no sidewalks and the speed limit is not posted near the site. Olive Avenue is
classified as a local street in the City's Master Street Plan.
Spring Street is a two-way street that varies in width frorn 20 feet to 22 feet. This asphalt street is
constmctcd without curh and gutter. Spring Street is classified as a local street in the City's
Master Street flan.
E..ri.sung Traffic Volumes
The existing two-way 24-hour traffic volumes for Spring Street and Olive Avenue in the vicinity
of the site range from 136 vehicles per day to 1,711 vehicles per day. The existing two-way AM
peak hour traffic volumes for Spring Street and Olive Avenue in the vicinity of the site range
from 6 vehicles per hour to 104 vehicles per hour. 'The existing two-way PM peak hour traffic
volumes for Spring Street and Olive Avenue in the vicinity of the site range from 5 vehicles per
hour to 167 vchicics per hour.
Trip Generation and Site Traffic Projections
The Trip Generation, an Informational Report, 1998, published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) and The Trip Generation Software (Version 4 by Microtrans), were utilized in
calculating the magnitude of traffic volumes expected to he generated by the proposal residential
land use of this development. These arc reliable sources for This information and are universally
used in the traffic engineering profession.

These calculations indicate that approximately 259 vehicle trips (combined in and out) per
average weekday arc projected to be generated by the proposed apartments land use on this site.
Of this total, approximately 20 vchicic trips arc estimated during the adjacent street AM peak
hour and approximately 24 vehicles arc estimated during the adjacent street PM peak hour.
Improvement Scenarios
Two strcct improvement scenarios arc under consideration as a part of this development
• • Construct Olive Avenue 10 a 24 foot width with curb and gutter on both sides from Spring
Street to the north properly line of the site. Construct Olive Avcnuc to a 20 foot width plus
an 8 foot wide parking Linc with curb and gutter on cast side of street from the north property
line to 50 feel past site driveway and construct a hammerhead turnaround.
Construct Olive Avcnuc lo a 20 foot width with an 8 foot wide parking Ianc along the site
frontage with curb and gutter on cast side of street and improve Olive Avcnuc to a 20 foot
width with no curb and gutter from the north property line to Spring Street. Construct Center
Street a 20 fool width with no curb and gutter from Olive Avenue to Walnut Avenue.
Service Volume
The City of Fayetteville Master Street Plan indicates the "service volume"for a local street of less
than 4,000 vehicles per day. Local streets provide the second lowest level of traffic flow and
service. They provide access to abutting land uses and provide connections to higher order street
classification. They are not intendcd to provide for through traffic movements.
Generally, the "service volume" of a street is a measure of its ability to accommodate a certain
magnitude of moving vchicics. The "service volumes" arc not measures of capacity (which value
would be greater) but represent a normal volume that can he cxpcctcd nn a given type of street.
Capacity calculations accounting for a street width as narrow as 18 feet yield results that indicate
no discernible dif fecncc in street capacity compared to the new street standard width of 28 feet
for local streets.
Mr. Circg House

Contrary to the City of Fayetteville Master Street Plan, City staff has determined that Olive
Avenue and Center Street will he considered residential streets (Service Volume 300-500 vehicles
per day) for the purposes of this study.
.4nalnis and Findings
TrafficVolumes- II was assumed the "worst case" condition of all traffic that is projected
to be generated by a 39 unit apartment complex for a typical weekday (259 trips) would he
combined with the existing traffic of the highest volume local street depicted on Figure 1,
"Existing 24-Ilour'1rafftc Volumes." This sum was compared to the "service volume"
specified in the City of Fayetteville Master Street Plan for local streets. 'fhc highest two-
way, 24-hour existing traffic volume on Spring Street (a local street classification) of 1,711
vehicles per day combined with the 259 vehicles per day projected to be generated by the
apartment contplex equals 1,970 vehicles per day. This comhined volume of 1,970 vehicles
per day is Icss than the 4,000 vehicle per day service volume expected for local streets.
Additionally, it was assumed the "worst case" condition of all traffic that is projected to he
generated by the apartment complex for a typical weekday would be combined with the
existing traffic of the highest volume residential street (Olive Avenue) depicted on Figure 1,
"Existing 24-11our Traffic Volumes." This sum was compared to the "service volume"
specified in the City of Fayetteville Master Street Plan for residential streets. The highest
two-way, 24-hour existing traffic volume on Olive Avenue from Spring Street to the site of
136 vehicles per day whcn combined with the 259 vehicles per day projected to be generated
by the apartment complex equals 395 vehicles per day. The combined volurne of 395
vehicles per day is in the range of 300-500 vehicles per day service volume expected for
residential streets.
li is concluded that the existing street system surrounding the site has adequate reserve
"service volume" to satisfactorily serve the additional traffic projected to be generated by
Ole site without discernable impact.
} Sight distance - The site access drive should be designed to provide sight distance for
exiting traffic to comply with City requirements and regulations. The sight distance at the
intersection of Olive Avenue and Spring Street for northbound traffic will not be affected by
the construction of the apartment complex. The small number of additional vehicles will
have no significant impact regarding sight distance al this intersection.
Topography - The construction of this apartment complex will comply with City
regulations regarding topography on-site. The access to the street system will not alter the
existing topography of the street.
•:• Turning radii - Turning radii exiting the site driveway onto Olive Avenue meet all City
regulations. The taming radii al the intersection of Olive Avenue and Spring Street appear
to adequately serve the existing traffic volumes. Since the additional number of vehicles
added to the existing traffic volume al this intersection by this development is srnall, no
improvements to turning radii are recommended.
+ Curbing - As shown on the site plan submitted for this project, curb and gutter is proposed
to he constructed coincident with the street improvements adjacent to the site. Curbing

constructed as a part of street improvements is generally constructed to address drainage
issues and not safcty concerns.
•: Traffic accidents - Traffic accident data for the previous twclvc months was tcvicwcd for
the following intersections:
Olive Avenue and Spring Street
Olive Avcnuc and Dickson Street
1'Ietchcr Avcnuc and Spring Street
Only one accident was rcponed during the previous twelve months at the intersection of
Spring Street and Flctchcr Avcnuc Because the accident history at intersections near the site
is limited, no future projections were made for tralTic accidents. The very small increase in
traffic volumes generated by the site is not expected to adversely affect the favorable accident
history.
Pedestrian Safety — The traffic accident data did not indicate that pedestrians were a factor
in the only reported accident at Fletcher Avenue and Spring Strcct. Since no changes are
being made regarding sight distances and increase in traffic volumes arc very small, no
pedestrian safety issues arc anticipated as a result of this development. Sidewalks arc
proposed to be constructed adjacent to the site coincident with street improvements.
Conc(usinns
As a result of this study, we conclude that for either of the improvement scenarios that this small
residential development generates low traffic volumes and our analysis indicates resulting traffic
volumes are well within the range expected on local and residential streets. We sec no adverse
effects to:
Traffic operations
. Sight distance
• Vehicle and pedestrian safety.
please advise if you have questions or need additional information regarding this natter.

discussion of the connectivity. Am I wrong in that Tim?
Conklin: The primary issue is access which is when we met with Mr. House,
concerns about spending a lot of money designing and engineering a street
connection. Also, as I thought I stated earlier, has presented a concept
design which has moved some buildings and added some parking and my
understanding is it has been seven buildings, 39 units, that really hasn't
changed. Once again, there may be some other issues that we will discuss
this evening.
Aviles:
I think the concept plat is rather as a favor to the developer because if your
plan had been submitted without the street connection it likely would've
been disapproved on that basis. That being the main point we will be
discussing that in detail this evening. I believe Tim, at agenda session,
said that you have met other ordinance requirements regarding density and
so forth as they exist in R-2 zoning. The traffic is an issue that we will be
discussing.
Conklin: That is correct. With regard to the density issue, that is a zoning issue.
This is zoned R-2 so it is really not something that should be discussed as
part of this development. What we are discussing is access to the
development and other development ordinances. The primary issue that
we have been discussing with the applicant is with regard to what is
appropriate for access to this site should there be a street connection,
should Olive Street be extended. You are within an historic platted area.
Rights of way exist. Connections may be possible if you complete out the
grid system. Staff recommended looking at how to develop some of this
connectivity, street connections in areas that were not very steep like you
see in other areas Center Street going north up to Fletcher, staff did not
recommend that at this time. Center Street south of Olive to Walnut from
my observation out there, it does look like vehicles have traveled a gravel
drive in the past so it is possible to drive on it today. 1 would like to note
that it would require a variation in our minimum street standards in order
to make this connection. The larger policy issue that 1 have discussed with
Mr. House and his engineer is this arca is zoned R-2. We are seeing
increased density being built in this area If this area is increased from
two units per acre to 20 units per acre what kind of street network do we
need in the future? What type of connectivity do we need in the future?
We have an existing grid pattem, right of way that was recorded and
platted. Do we as a city complete that grid pattem and make those
connections with the idea that this may develop with multi -family as we
are seeing, this may develop as single-family regardless of whether it is
multi -family or single-family, urban design principles traditional houses
are along streets. Do you want to complete the street network? With
regard to the overall design, once again, modifications have been made
with regard to building location placement and parking.

Aviles: Those are in conformance with city ordinances. What 1 would like to do is
to focus our discussion this evening in terms of the discussion. I think that
we have a large issue in front of us in terms of offsite improvements and
what Houses Incorporated is willing to do with regard to cost sharing on
that and that the access is the issue that we need to address on this if we
are meeting the other ordinances and design standards, lets not waste
everybody's time. We have got a lot of people here tonight Can I see a
show of hands if you are here with the public to address us on this concept
plat. We are going to hear from everyone. I would like to be very clear
on what I am asking the applicant and the public to address. That is the
offsite improvements, the access to the site, and the implications for cost
sharing. Since we have a lengthy agenda tonight and this only number
four of fourteen if you could keep your comments short, to the point, and
try to avoid repetition we would certainly appreciate that. Mr. House
would you like to continue with your presentation?
Ilouse:
Yes. Thank you Madam Chair. I understand and it will cut my
presentation down considerably. To paraphrase, we are talking about
offsite improvements, access to the site, and the cost sharing. First let me
begin by stating that the plan that we submitted originally as part of the
Large Scale Development process was submitted meeting all of the
requirement of the UDO, city street standards and international fire code.
That plan is the plan without connectivity to Center Street. Let me say
that again, the plan that we submitted meets all of the requirements of the
UDO, the city street standards, and the international fire code. That is
why we feel it is not necessary to connect to Center Street from a legal
perspective. If the city feels that it is necessary for other policy
considerations like what is going to happen on the hill in the future, we are
not opposed to that. The question is how do we pay for it. Is it incumbent
upon our company to have to pay for the development of a street that is
not adjacent to this property, that is not necessary for the development of
this property because the rest of the hill is going to get developed in the
future. While 1 agree it may help ease the burden of some traffic out on
Olive because a connection to Center Street would theoretically provide
another access, many property owners would benefit from that besides
ours. 1 understand there is a theory called rational nexus, which is hard for
me to get my hands around and I am a lawyer. I have asked my engineer
to do a rational nexus study to determine what share should be ours, how
the improvement of Center Street would benefit our project. Mandy
Bunch of EB Landworks in conjunction with a traffic study by Ernie
Peters out of Little Rock have come up with an estimate and a percentage
that they deem is the amount of benefit to our property by the
improvement to Center Street. It is amazingly enough, a pretty small
number. That was submitted in the packet that we gave the Planning staff
the first of last week. Hopefully it is in your packet. It would be a letter
Planning Commissioi.
March 24, 2003
Page 12
S
from EB Landworks to Tim Conklin dated March 17ih if I can direct your
attention to it. In that letter Ms. Bunch talks about how much her estimate
is of cost, vehicle trips per day, and what the percentage of our impact
would be and it is fairly minimal, something around 2%. This is
supported by a study by Ernie Peters that did a traffic analysis and the
whole report is probably in your file as well. This is based on Olive being
a local street and the city street standards define a local street as two 10'
lanes. Olive, as it exists, is 18' to 20' wide so it has two 10' traffic lanes.
We have proposed in our submittal to make sure Olive is 20' wide for
those areas that it is not to meet the local street standards. Supposedly
somebody has figured out that that takes 4,000 trips per day. Mr. Peters
has stated after his study in conjunction with some city studies for this
area, that our trips are going to be approximately 297, let's call it 300
trips per day on Olive so as you can see it is not huge just going in and out
of Olive without even going out Center Street. The impact of the traffic
that we are going to create on Olive is less than 10% of the allowed traffic
as it exists. Basically, rather than belabor you with all of the stuff that we
have already submitted, we have made our argument in all of the stuff that
we submitted that access to the site is reasonable as it is but we are willing
to help pay for Center is that is determined necessary. The offsite
improvements, we have already submitted that we would do a new street
from the existing portion of Olive to Center. Our original plan was to just
have a cul-de-sac at the entrance to our property but in the spirit of
compromise with the Planning Department we agreed to pave all of Olive
so that the potential of connectivity could be done now or in the future. I
guess I will ask to see if anyone as any questions. If that is all that we are
talking about, I can talk about density and having met with the neighbors
and all of our agreements with the neighbors and all of that.
Aviles: We are just going to limit the discussion to access and your participation
in offsite improvements. Should you be required to extend the street, have
you come up with a figure that you would be willing to participate in for
that?
House: We have submitted that it is 2% of the total cost and the estimates are it is
going to cost approximately $100,000, I think the real number is $94,000.
I guess we would have to put some sort of cap on it in the event that it cost
$300,000 but that is what we have submitted based on the engineering.
That is for the Center portion. We will already have quite a bit of money
in the rest of Olive but that is for the Center Street portion.
Aviles: Thanks Mr. House. I see that there are members of the public that would
like to address us. Come on up, tell us your name, where you live, and
give us the benefit of your opinion. As 1 said, if you could keep it to the
point of access we would appreciate that.

parks; and install a sidewalk adjacent to all abutting streets or highways in accordance with City
specifications for sidewalk construction.
b. The developer may be required to install off -site improvements, where the
need for such improvements is created in whole or in part by the proposed large scale development.
For purposes of this section, an off -site improvement shall mean all, or any part of, a street, surface
drainage system, water system, or sanitary sewer system, which is to be installed on property located
outside the proposed large scale development.
c. Any required off -site improvements shall be installed according to City
standards. The developer shall be required to bear that portion of the cost of off -site improvements
which bears a rational nexus to the needs created by the large scale development.
d. The Subdivision Committee or Planning Commission may refuse to
approve a large scale development for any of the following reasons:
(1). The development plan is not submitted in accordance with the
requirements of this section.
(2). The proposed development would violate a City ordinance, a State
statute, or a Federal statute.
(3). The developer refuses to dedicate the street right-of-way, utility
easements or drainage casements required by this chapter.
(4). The proposed development would create or compound a
dangerous traffic condition. For the purpose of this section, a "dangerous" traffic condition shall be
construed to mean a traffic condition in which the risk of accidents involving motor vehicles is
significant due to factors such as, but not limited to, high traffic volume, topography, or the nature of
the traffic pattern.
(5). City water and sewer is not readily available to the property
within the large scale development and the developer has made no provision for extending such
service to the development.

1. Provide complete hydrographs in the drainage report.
2. Provide details for the outlet structure of the detention pond.
3. Remove the island proposed in the middle of the street.
4. Provide easements a minimum of 10' on each side of the proposed water and sewer lines.
The shown casements do not meet this requirement.
5. Either extend the water main to be closer to the water meters or place the meters close to
the main to avoid long service lines between the main and meter.
6. Show the location of the proposed silt fence on the grading plan.
7. Show the existing water and sewer on the grading plan.
8. Verify the width of the casement for the existing water lines.
9. All retaining walls over tour (4) feet in height shall he designed by a registered
professional engineer, and shall be inspected by the design engineer.
10. All retaining walls over 30" in height shall have a safety railing installed that meets the
requirements of the SBBC.
II. The flow from the parking lot on the east side of the proposed detention pond needs to
discharge through a pipe instead of dropping of the retaining wall.
12. According to § 169.06 of the Unified Development Ordinance, cuts adjacent to public
rights -of -way shall be set back a minimum of 25 feet. However, since this grading
includes the construction of the roadway, this will not apply to this situation.
13. Planning Commission determination of offsite street improvements is required. At this
time staff recommends that Olive St. be improved to meet the residential street standards
including pavement, subbase, curb and gutter, and storm drainage from Spring St. to the
proposed cul de sac. A second option that staff would consider is the extension of Center
St. to provide frontage to the property.

Please consider this a formal appeal of the Planning Commission's decision on
May 27, 2003 of Houses Development Company's Large Scale Development proposal
referred to above.
While Houses Development Company, L.L.C. (HDC), as owner of this property, is
pleased that the Planning Commission approved much of the proposed project as
submitted, the Planning Commission only addressed part of HDC's proposal with
respect to offsite improvements. The Commission's approval of this LSD is subject to
HDC providing a connection within the existing street R.O.W. for Center Street
between Olive and Walnut Streets. The Commission also recommended that the
City Council approve a cost sharing proposal by HOC that the City pay for 53% of
said offsite improvements. However, the Planning Commission failed to consider
HDC's alternative proposal to construct Olive Avenue as a residential street to service
this new development as described in Section 1) of our May 6, 2003 letter to the
Planning Commission (attached hereto) and as addressed at both the concept plat
meeting and the meeting of May 27, 2003.
The reason HDC made this alternative proposal was to provide a legal means of
accessing and servicing this development in the event the City Council did not
approve a cost sharing arrangement. Therefore, as we discussed, I would propose
that this appeal be scheduled for hearing following a hearing on the cost sharing
issue as the necessity of our appeal might be rendered moot.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter and please feel free to
contact me if you require any further information.

RE SEQUOYAH COMMONS OFF -SITE IMPROVEMENTS AR CI

Dear Members of the Planning Commission,
I am writing to discuss the off -site improvements made necessary by our
project on Olive Street. Having debated this issue at length with the City
Planning Staff and our civil and traffic engineers, we believe that the traffic
and access issues for this project can be met in one of two ways:
1) Bring Olive into conformity as a residential street by improving Olive
avenue from Spring Street to the Center Street right of way as
follows: widen the existing street to 24' back of curb to back of curb,
overlay the existing paving, construct the new portion adjacent to our
property to 28' wide (to accommodate on street parking) install a 4'
concrete sidewalk on one side of Olive Avenue and install storm
drainage to code. The capacity for a residential street is 300 to 500
trips per day. The total load on Olive at completion is projected at
395 per day. With these improvements, our LSD proposal will meet
every requirement of the law, including the Unified Development
Ordinance and the International Fire Protection Code;
2) The alternative planning staff is requesting would be to leave Olive
Avenue as is, (though making sure that it is at least 20' wide) improve
Olive adjacent to our project, and build Center Street between Olive
and Walnut, with the necessary waivers requested in our latest
submittal. This portion of Center Street is desired by the City Planner
for purposes of "connectivity." Based upon the LSD Ordinance, our
share of the costs for these improvements is limited to the "Rational
Nexus" of need for the street being created by our project. In
discussion with the City Planning Staff, we determined that the ratio of
our project to the total units served by this new street would be
approximately 43%. We should bear no more than 43% of the cost of
the work to construct these improvements, and that the City of
Fayetteville should provide the remaining 57%.

LSD 02-29.10: Large Scale Development (Sequoyah Commons, pp 485) was
submitted by Mandy Bunch of EB Landworks on behalf of Greg House of Houses
Development for property located between Olive Avenue & Fletcher Avenue, south of
Spring Street. The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential and contains
approximately 2.06 acres with 39 dwelling units proposed (48 bedrooms).
Hoover: On to item number eight, LSD 02-29.10 for Sequoyah Commons
submitted by Mandy Bunch of EB Landworks for the property at Olive
Avenue and Fletcher Avenue.
Warrick: This is a Large Scale Development for multi -family dwellings. The
property contains approximately 2.06 acres, 39 dwelling units are
proposed with 48 bedrooms. The property is located between Olive and
Fletcher south of Spring Street. The applicant proposes to construct seven
buildings as I said containing 39 dwelling units consisting of one and two
bedroom town homes for a total of 48 bedrooms. Included with the
development are proposed improvements to Olive Avenue and
construction of a connection to Walnut via Center Street. Also, the
construction of 56 parking spaces on site. Surrounding development and
land use, primarily single-family homes and duplexes with R-2 zoning to
the north and south. The subject property is zoned R-2 as well. To the
cast is R -1 zoning and to the west is vacant zoned Industrial, 1-2. The
applicant, as I mentioned is proposing 39 dwelling units on 2.06 acres.
The density is approximately 19.2 units per acre in the R-2 zoning district
24 units per acre are permitted. Water and sewer are available to the site
along Olive Avenue. No additional right of way for this project is
necessary. Olive currently contains more than the standard right of way
for this type of street. There is a 60' right of way existing. There is 30' of
right of way existing for Center Street and 60' for Fletcher. Olive Avenue
is proposed to be extended to Center Street along the west side of the
subject property. With that Center Street will be extended within existing
right of way to connect to Walnut. That would be to the east. The
applicant will also be widening portions of Olive Street, which are
currently narrower than 20' in width. Olive varies between 18' and 20'.
Access is proposed by Olive Avenue, which is currently as I mentioned,
between 18' and 20' in width. It is paved up approximately to the
development where there is a gravel section. The applicant will be
extending Olive Street the full width adjacent to the subject property. No
Master Street Plans are being affected by this particular development.
With regard to tree preservation the existing site is 100% covered in
canopy. The applicant is proposing to preserve 21.25% which meets the
requirement of 20% in this zoning district. The original proposal by this
applicant went through the Large Scale review process was heard by staff
and at the Subdivision Committee level. Staff at that time, at the time that
it reached the Subdivision Committee, recommended the connection in the
Center Street right of way to connect Olive to Walnut. At the April 28th
Planning Commission • •
May 27, 2003
Page 56
Planning Commission meeting the Commission reviewed a concept plat.
The reason that that was brought forward was in order to provide some
direction to the applicant with regard to street connections and off site
improvements that may be necessary. The Planning Commission on April
28voted to require the extension of Center Street east to Olive. There is
a typo in your report, that should read east instead of west. The
construction of Olive Avenue along the entire western boundary of this
project. The applicant is requesting that the city participate in a cost share
for the construction of Center Street from the centerline of Olive to
Walnut Street. There is a letter attached that addresses that issue. At the
May 15`s Subdivision Committee meeting the Committee forwarded the
Large Scale to the full Planning Commission subject to staff comments.
We have had significant public comment on this particular project to
include issues of density, traffic, parking, street improvements, sidewalks.
You were provided one additional comment from a neighbor this evening.
We also included minutes from the previous Planning Commission
meeting with this information for you. Staff is recommending approval of
this Large Scale Development with several conditions and one additional
condition that is not listed in your staff report that I need to add is the
improvement of Olive to a 20' width north of the development to Spring
Street. As I mentioned that is to make it a uniform 20' where in certain
situations it is not quite wide enough right now to meet that 20' minimum.
Conditions that staff is recommending include 1) Applicant shall improve
Olive Street its full width adjacent to the proposed project with curb and
gutter on each side. Sidewalks are to be constructed on the east side only
in accordance with City standards. 2) Applicant shall provide a
connection within existing street ROW for Center Street between Olive
and Walnut Streets to include a 20' paved section. 3) Approval shall be
subject to the vacation of a 15 foot existing utility easement, which runs
north/ south through the property. 4) A utility easement shall be granted a
minimum of 10 feet on each side of all water and sewer lines to provide
for maintenance of the line. 5) All buildings will be required to meet
setbacks based on height. 6) Lighting shall be shielded and directed
downward, away from adjacent residential properties. There is a park fee
in lieu of land dedication for this particular project in the amount of
$15,327 which is $393 per unit for the 39 units proposed. Other
conditions are listed in your report and are standard conditions for all
Large Scale Developments. Just kind of in reference to the previous
project and other Large Scales that we have seen. The question generally
comes up as to what issues you as a Planning Commission have the ability
to address for a Large Scale Development, in particular a residential Large
Scale Development. Issues that you really can't address relate to density.
The density has to do with the zoning district that is applied to the project,
the uses that are permitted within that district are allowed by right as long
as the development proposal meets the city's design and development
criteria. Design standards, as you pointed out with the last project, the city•
Planning Commission. •
May 27, 2003
Page 57
does not have residential design standards. The uses, as I mentioned under
zoning, the uses that are permitted on a particular piece of property go
with the zoning that is applied to that property. Issues that you can and
should address would include connectivity, the Master Street Plan and
right of way dedications, one of the things that is required with a Large
Scale Development is that it comply with the Master Street Plan and that
any right of way necessary to meet the Master Street Plan standards is
dedicated with that project. Grading and drainage, we talked a lot about
that in the last item and compliance with the city's grading and drainage
criteria is an issue that you are here to ensure. Utility extensions, any
applicant with a Large Scale Development is required to provide utilities
and to extend utilities to the project site. Parking, the number of parking
spaces, the configuration and cross access are things that you can look at.
Landscaping and screening where it is required by ordinance, tree
preservation, which is a specific ordinance requirement, and the park land
dedication or money in lieu ordinance requirements are things that the
Planning Commission has control over. With that, I will answer any
questions.
Hoover: Dawn, on page 8.1 it looks like there is a typo. When you have down here
the direction to the west the land use is vacant and it says 1-2, is that
supposed to be R-2?
Warrick: I believe that is R-2, it is vacant. It is R-2.
Hoover: Thank you. Would the applicant like to make a presentation now?
Ilouse: Yes. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I am Greg House speaking for
the applicant, Flouse's Development Company. I thought I would give
Mandy a bit of a break here. She is having to do double duty here this
evening. After listening to Dawn's report I thought what I might begin
with is to state that we are in agreement with all of the conditions that
have been recommended by the Planning staff. However, in our
presentation in a letter that I mailed to you all on May 6th and I brought up
an issue that I want to bring up again and that is we can approach this
application with options. The first option is ask for no variances or
waivers of any kind, meets the UDO standard, the International Fire Code,
and the Large Scale Development ordinance in its entirety. That is to
allow us to construct Olive Street in front of our property and on out to
Spring as a residential street to meet the traffic load that our development
and the existing neighborhood would create. I point that out in paragraph
one, or item one, of that letter. I am bringing that up so that the Planning
Commission can see that there is a way to approve this project without
having to grant a single variance. However, as the Planning staff has
asked and has continually brought forth and as your Commission
recommended in our last meeting, the issue of connectivity has come up
Planning Commission • •
May 27, 2003
Page 58
and the Planning staff wants us to connect to Walnut. That we don't
object to however, we have submitted in our submittals that we think it is
only fair that we pay the rational nexus portion of that. I guess I
understand that that is actually part of your charge this evening to
recommend that or not. That comes from something I just received from
staff at about 1:30 this afternoon. That is pursuant to City Council
Resolution 9496 city participation in street extension cost. In their report
that is continued on page 8.2 the top part of that page, that paragraph says
the city may participate in the construction of streets either adjacent to the
development or on a street leading to a development if the need leading to
such a development if the need for such improvement is not totally caused
by the development in question. City staff has told us, I don't see it in
writing here, that they agree that the burden that we create is only 43% of
the total burden that the new portion of Center Street would bear. The
next sentence of that ordinance goes on to say the appropriateness of any
such cost sharing between the owner and developer and the city shall be
determined by the Planning Commission based on city ordinances
governing the cost sharing of streets. That is new to me. This is a
constantly evolving process. I think that is something that Dawn may
have left out that you are charged with this evening is to discuss that,
especially in light of our last meeting.
Warrick: You have a memo on page 8.9.
House: The issues of drainage, the Master Street Plan, trees and green space and
the right amount of right of way, I believe we have covered all of those
and we have shown that we can meet all of those requirements and I will
let Mandy elaborate further on those in a minute. I do want to mention
that all of those requirements for approval of the development again can
be met by dead ending in essence Olive with a hammer head turn around.
I bring this up because what I am concerned about, and I heard this earlier
this evening with another gentleman that was before your Commission, is
that we take this on up to the City Council level, talk about cost sharing
and then for some reason it gets denied and I am back to the drawing
board again starting all over with the project. I just want to point out that
we have continually submitted this as a two part application and I think
that you may want to consider that so that all the issues can be brought
forward regarding our application. I am available for questions as you go
through the discussion. Thank you.
Hoover: Mandy, do you have anymore to add to that?
Bunch, M: Just very briefly. I just want to clarify some of the traffic issues. Based
on our previous Planning Commission meeting things were brought up
that streets did not appear to be at certain levels, etc. so I just want to kind
of nail that out there. Staff, we have had several meetings on that level
Planning Commission. •
May 27, 2003
Page 59
and what the numbers that you are looking at today basically even include,
previously we were talking about local streets and we were talking about
4,000 vehicles per day and everybody was in agreement that the streets as
they exist and as they would be constructed with the waivers would not
accommodate 4,000 vehicles per day. All of the calculations have been
adjusted to look at Olive from Spring to the site frontage as a residential
street. Which, regarding option number one, Greg's discussing lends to a
total if you look at our entire traffic with the new generation numbers on a
per unit basis, 420 total cars on Olive, which is within the realm of 300 to
500 vehicles per day that is allotted or assigned to the design service
volume for a residential street in the Master Street Plan. 'Option number
two which we are discussing with connectivity, the same cost share
percentage has been calculated based on using Center as constructed with
20' in width asphalt with the waivers as a residential street and not as a
local street. Either option being addressed can meet the city requirements.
We have worked hard to address several issues with the property owners
that live adjacent to this property and I know everyone is still not happy
and I'm sure they want to talk about it. I want to stop and we are here for
questions if you guys need anything.
Hoover: Thank you Mandy. Before we go to public comment Dawn, would you
just clarify the connectivity issue because I thought that that had already
been decided.
Warrick: The Planning Commission did vote on April 28th to have a connection to
use the existing Center Street right of way to connect Olive to Walnut.
That is what you sent back to your developer with regard to your
determination on connectivity and requested that the Large Scale that
came forward show that connection. The developers brought that forward
and they do show that connection with this Large Scale Development.
However, they are still requesting that options be made available. Staff is
recommending the connection. We have been recommending the
connection consistently since Subdivision Committee and we feel that it is
appropriate to make that connection in this particular location. The grade
of the Center Street right of way that we are considering is not excessive.
It can he traveled, it can be walked, it can be driven currently. Utilizing
that area we feel is an appropriate way to connect this particular project
and to provide two means of access for the development as well as the
existing houses on Olive Street.
Hoover: prank you. Now I would like to open it up to public comment. I just
want to remind you to keep your comments brief, to the point and
relevant. You might start out organizing what your issues are up front so
we can keep track easily.
Davison: Good evening, my name is Sharon Davison, I do live in Fayetteville.

to put in this development. I don't like being here, I'm missing my son's
baseball game. When I run out the door to try to catch the end of it I do
hope I don't hear that you all have made a bunch of excuses at the end and
approved this when I can give you and you have a lot of reasons why not
to approve it at this time. Number one is the very main reason that is
given by you. Might I say, who needs the extra hired help? I believe Ms.
Dawn did a wonderful pitch job for Mr. House and that in itself, shows my
concern. Again, staff
Hoover: Ms. Davison, I would appreciate you not attacking personal attacks, would
you just stick to the project?
Davison: It was a pitch thank you. I know a pitch when I hear one.
Hoover: That is not necessary.
Davison: That is what our city staff is doing by continually approving things that are
not good for the citizens of the city and then they know that you will say
we believe you brought this to us. I believe that most people did hear that.
If you are familiar with this area and this situation you will know why I
feel this way. First of all let's get to the main issue of the R-2 zoning.
You have a reason tonight, and those of you that are new to the
Commission, I would like that you check with the Council record of the
past over year with this R-2 zoning problem, inappropriate R-2 zoning
smack dab in the middle of 100% tree coverage. Have you seen those
trees? 100% coverage. He is going to take 4 out of 5 of those trees out. I
hope you can see that little part. We don't even have to talk about the
yards that are given up, the people's drives, all of those things. Back to
inappropriate R-2 zoning. We have discussed this in depth with our
Council. We were promised by our Council a year ago to address this
issue but they have been too busy dealing with things than to really
address it. They did tell us. We have been told as a neighborhood and as
individuals that that is an inappropriate area for R-2 zoning. Slope, grade,
neighborhood, issues. It is supposed to be fixed so let's keep that in mind
when you come to the end of this night and approve for no other good
reason than his right because of R-2 zoning. That is very much in
question in this particular area so I ask you all to consider that. Ok, we
will run through a few things that are real legitimate reasons even
whatever your opinions of the development for this particular property, for
this particular project. Apartments, it is too dense. I also heard Ms.
Warrick say the neighborhood is primarily single-family homes with some
duplexes. His project will change the entire dynamics of the area. I live
there. I could've brought my slide off pictures that we had for the
wonderful intersection where Mr. Schmitt of Hometown Development
wanted to put his apartments because it does happen. When we talk about
Planning Commission •

road access think about winter. We are talking about almost 6 months of
the year that Spring Street is almost unusable and Center Street is almost
unusable. Just consider that, he is only talking about half a year that his
project will be reached. You realize everyone will go down to Dickson,
everyone will go down to Lafayette. I would like you to see the comer of
Fletcher and Lafayette these days. Ok, so do we build the streets to make
it safer? We can't put as many parking spaces on a property because we
have to maximize our room density so we demand, and he makes demands
doesn't he. He is sure telling you about how much he is going to pay to
the penny of his part for the street. Excuse me, what do we as citizens, tax
payers pay for our part for his indulgence? Thank you, he is not a man
trying to build himself a home for his family. He is a man trying to make
money at other's expense. Our infrastructure is not here to meet his needs.
I would like to understand why we put in a sewer tax, we arc all waiting, it
is all coming yet damn, we need a quarter of a million dollars for a lift
station over there on Wedington. He talks about fire access. Excuse me,
may I ask city staff, are we still on a hiring freeze?
Hoover: Ms. Davison, will you please stay on one topic?
Davison: It is, it is relative because he is bringing up all these things that he is
meeting code. At this time we can't handle any of this. It is amazing. I
would like to know how much money, and I think people that are listening
to this when developer's say they are paying their share, their part, I think
people need to really look at the numbers and understand what their part is
and what you arc expected to give up. So, you have the right to put these
projects off for a year. If everyone begs put him off this is why.
Everything about it is wrong. Trust me, you do have, as our attorney has
told you tonight, you can disapprove this right now because I beg to differ
if staff says he will not create a dangerous traffic situation. Does his
buildings get built before the roads get built? I am not sure I understand
our order in a lot of this. So, here it is. You have a choice. He wants to
do this, you don't have to let him. Why can we not let our infrastructure
catch up? Why can we not check and see that this particular area your
City Council has said is inappropriate for R-2 zoning and that they will
address it? They said they would. Of course, where is it in writing? I
would like you to remember that it is 100% canopy lot. I would like you
to think about all the people that are going to have to give up space, yards,
etc. to make it meet requirements. We can always meet requirements.
Who is paying it on this end? I am sorry, it does get me upset and I try to
still be polite but I would like to ask you to consider when again, you have
the out here. You don't have to look at a group of upset neighborhoods,
people and say our hands are tied. I know your hands aren't tied. I hope
you discover that before you vote on this for this gentleman tonight
because you have every right to either deny it or delay it and you have
major reasons to do that. One of them specifically is dangerous traffic

situations. I have a child in school there. The bus can't even come up the
hill to us. He has to go down to the bus because of this area in winter.
There are not sidewalks. You heard him, he is not going to do one inch
more than you make him. Please help us do the right thing tonight. I will
stop.
Hoover: Thank you Ms. Davison. Is there any other member of the audience that
would like to speak to this Large Scale Development?
Chadick: My name is Susan Chadick and I live at the corner of Olive and Spring
Street. I just have to say that I cannot embrace this Large Scale
Development. It is too big a change to the tradition of the residential
neighborhood on the mountain. That tradition being single-family and
duplexes. What this kind of development will do is impact the mountain
and then there will be a chain reaction of changes and I am not so sure
those are going to be predominantly good changes so that concerns me.
All along you have heard me express concern about the parking issue. I
am just still convinced that it is ludicrous to have 48 bedrooms with 56 on
site parking when the rent for those bedrooms or those units are going to
be between 4700 and $900. I just feel they are going to be more than one
car per bedroom. Again, we have just got 56 on site parking places. We
can approach this with options. We have gone to Mr. House and asked for
a reduction in the number of units so that there could be more on site
parking and so that we would eliminate some of the traffic. I realize he
has done well in proposing a minimal in the density guidelines but I would
like to see less. Thank you.
Hoover: Thank you Ms. Chadick. Is there any other member of the audience?
Bryan: I am Holly Bryan, 107 N. Olive. Again, I would like to go on record as
saying that I am totally against this Large Scale Development. I believe
that it is truly incompatible with the single-family homes in this area and
just as a side, several neighbors a year or so ago were seeking out the
option of how to downzone and we were told by City Planning to wait
until the hillside study was done, gather the data, and here we sit again
waiting so that we can. In the family we have a large chunk that we want
dowri zoned. There are several issues that you can stop this or delay this.
Again, I have been pushing the safety and the traffic issues. The parking
on site 56 spaces on site, I don't feel that is reasonable. Please keep in
mind there will be no parking in the development itself in the lanes.
Those will all be fire lanes so only the spots that are marked parking will
be just 56 cars. There will be no parking on the street, in the cul-de-sac
that is also a fire lane. I believe that maybe Mr. House has allowed for 4 or
6. spaces on the street but then there is a good chance what has happened
in the 200 block of Olive with no parking on both sides. We could seek
that out so then there would be no on street parking. As far as the
Planning Commission

dangerous traffic situation, I do believe last Thursday you all mentioned
how dangerous it can be when you came out and viewed the
developmental site. I happened to look out my window as you all were
departing from the development site and noticed that it was quite
challenging for you to get that 16 passenger van turned around in the
street. I think there were two or three people out directing the person
driving how to back out of the driveway to get out back onto Spring
Street. I don't see that by even widening Olive to 20' you are still, we are
in the same predicament with the dangerous traffic situation which will
also be compounded when you have a 20' wide Center Street. I really, we
want to work and figure out a solution that will be acceptable to all of us.
With the cost share on Center Street, I believe precedence has been
already set with another Large Scale Development west of town where the
developer paid 100% of his street. You can correct me if I'm wrong. I
believe it was west of town, I don't know if it was a Lindsey property or
one out off, well, it is on the west of town. I stay down here downtown. I
know that developer did pay 100% so I think it is ludicrous for the cost
share that Mr. I louse proposes. Thank you.
Hoover: Thank you. Is there any other member of the audience?
Bryant: My name is Lois Bryant, I live at the comer of Center and Walnut and I
will speak for your connectivity issue. As far as Center Street and that
being a hght of way, there is no one in the City Administration that can
tell me when Center Street was built, when the right of way was
established, and if it was on private property when the street was built or
what goes on with that. One thing too, in the winter we have a world of a
time trying to get the city just to come out and salt Center Street and
Spring Street so we can get down the hill and get to work. The best we
ever get out of them is "Well, that is kind of dangerous for us to bring our
trucks down there." Well, we have to drive down it. My dad and I during
the winter months we salt and sand the comer of Center Street and Willow
so we can make that comer so when we are coming down the hill we don't
end up in the people down the street, in their yard. No consideration has
been given to my dad about his property, none whatsoever. No one has
spoke with us. Your supposed right of way that nobody is going to tell me
when it existed or when it started, yes, it sits right smack dab in the middle
of our property. You arc generating a financial issue for us if the right of
way goes through then the next thing on the list is we will get a letter from
the city that tells us we don't have the standard setback which generates a
bill for us to move the house back. Why should we have to move our
house back for 50 spaces or enough cars to come down through for a
couple hundred cars? Why should we be generating at the rate housing
construction is now a $40,000 to $60,000 bill to convenience a few
people. Granted, this will convenience a few people because that would
give people who own those empty lots there access to their property by
Planning Commission • •
May 27, 2003
Page 64
way of someone else paying for it but that is a detriment to us. One other
thing that I will be to the point at because yes Center Street is only 19',
21' to the curbs and sidewalks, one other thing that I would ask that you
look at is according to our deed and title we own lot 18, according to the
deed Center Street sits on the outside of our property and our property
line. This deed was set up, the original purpose was for the previous
owner and this deed was done in 1936.
Estes: Ms. Bryant, may I see your abstract and I will give it right back to you?
Thank you.
Hoover: Thank you. Do we have any other members of the audience? Seeing
none, I will bring it back to the Commission and the applicant. Mandy,
would you like to address some of those issues?
Bunch, M: The density issue I am sure that we will have further discussion about. I
am not sure quite how to address that other than what we have already
stated. The parking, we have provided as many parking stalls as we
possibly can to meet all of the other city requirements. There are no other
opportunities on site, which is why the additional parking was placed
offsite on the street for visitors because of the concerns. The width of
Olive not being adequate to turn around is very evident and I think that is
something that the staff has considered with their recommendation to
extend Center Street so that there is more than one way in and out for
emergency and other traffic to access all the properties there, not just the
one in question tonight. Also, with Ms. Bryant, part of the problem with
Planning is a really good thing but part of the problem with planning is
sometimes things are brought into consideration that aren't taken to the
end. We have not had the opportunity and basically where we are tonight
is does the Planning Commission approve this project based on all the
requirements and the conditions that have been placed on it at this point in
time. Once this is approved if it is maybe approved, we have to go into
the exploratory phase. We have to do all the deed research on the right of
way. We have to make sure that right of way is there. We have to look at
a detailed design of the street to make sure that things are not taken out
and things are not made into a situation worse than they were before.
Again, that is part of the problem with us having to plan this issue without
the details known at this point. We will have to address all of the adjacent
property owner concerns when the street is constructed. I don't really
have any other thing to add to that. I think that there will be questions than
come out of your discussions.
Hoover: Thank you Mandy. I have a question for staff. Dawn, can you comment
on where the hillside study is or what the prediction is for that?
Warrick: I don't know if I can give you a time frame. I know that it has been
Planning Commission
•

May 27, 2003
Page 65
initiated. Some data bases have been created. Some of the neighbors did
do quite a bit of work to initiate a land use study for some of the target
areas that were identified for the hillside review. This is stemming from a
resolution that the City Council passed asking staff and the Planning
Commission to review those properties within the city that are currently
zoned for multi -family development that have a slope of 15% or greater.
That is the subject that is being addressed. Our Long Range Planning
Division is looking at that and we are having to work with existing
resources within the Planning Division as well as within our GIS Division
in order to get the appropriate mapping and.databasc work put together in
order to bring something back to you. Unfortunately, I can't give you a
time frame but I can say that that is still an ongoing project.
Hoover: Then
would you address on
the right
of way, we are not asking them to
move
their house?
Warrick: No.
Hoover: What are the consequences to the Bryant's property?
Warrick: The existing structure sits where it has forever and the existing right of
way is where it has been since the subdivision was platted. The street was
never built. Therefore, it is right of way that exists as lines on paper. The
house is certainly within a 25' setback from that right of way line and my
assumption is that the house was built prior to 1970 when our current
regulations went into affect requiring a 25' setback. That house is
considered to be an existing legal, non -conforming structure. It will
certainly remain as it is and can remain as it is and be repaired and
maintained in that location without any requirements being placed on it to
be removed or otherwise adjusted in any way. We treat it as an existing
nonconformity and the city would not go in and require that the structure
be relocated because the street was extended. In this situation the right of
way location is not changing and that doesn't change any of the existing
conditions except for the fact that there would be pavement within the
right of way and a street connection up to Olive.
Hoover: Thank you. Commissioners?
Bunch: Can we have Engineering or possibly the applicant give us an overview on
the proposed grades of Center Street and of Olive Street for the newly
constructed and how those grades compare to city standards?
Bunch, M: Basically Center Street can be constructed even at a slope less than 15%
based on the city's GIS information. If a city street has to go over 15% it
has to be concrete. Currently on our plans on Olive we have a small
portion past the site driveway that is 20% and that is something that we are
Planning Commission • •
May 27, 2003
Page 66
going to work to reduce but otherwise we will have to construct that in
conformance with city requirements based on my discussions with staff
after we submitted. That would have to go to concrete unless we could
reduce that slope to 15% or less. Did that answer your question?
Bunch: This is for Planning staff. Is there any difference between the 100 block
and the 200 block of Olive as far as street width and allowed parking? I
know we have had various comments. There has been considerable
comment about the parking in the 200 block and also the 100 block and I
noticed that both of them at different times of the year have people
parking on the street. Is that allowed on a 20' street and is there any
difference between the 100 and 200 block as far as regulations are
concerned?
Warrick: My understanding is that the neighbors have worked with our
Transportation Division to limit or restrict parking on Olive north of
Spring Street in that block. I am not real familiar with the situations but
my understanding is that there are some no parking signs in that section of
Olive Street.
Bunch: Ok, what about the 100 block should this development be built would that
be a similar situation? Are we creating a different standard for one group
of people on one block and another standard for a group of people on a
block to the south?
Warrick: I am sure if the same issue were addressed and there were apartments on
the block south of Spring Street our Transportation Division could look at
that the same that they did the block north of Spring Street and determine
where it might be appropriate to place no parking signs based on the
traffic condition and safety concerns.
Bunch: Thank you.
Warrick: Without the development being in place I don't know that there is an
issue. The residents do park on the street. They seem to either stagger or
park on one side so that there is still a thru lane for traffic to pass.
Bunch: And for emergency vehicles?
Warrick: Yes.
Bunch: Ok.
Allen: I know that these buildings are town homes, I wondered if any of them
would be for sale?
Planning Commission
May 27, 2003
Page 67
I -louse: Most likely, yes. It depends on how the numbers come out and whatever
we end up with costs and offsite improvements.
Allen: Based on the neighborhood compatibility and traffic concerns and safety
concerns that I have I suggest that this development be put on hold until
the hillside ordinance study is completed.
Hoover: That is an interesting discussion item.
Williams: That was your motion to table?
Hoover: That is a discussion item, that's not a motion yet, I'm assuming that's not
a motion yet is that correct?
Allen: No, that is just my opinion.
Estes: Dawn, the parking concerns me. How did we calculate the required
number of parking spaces that is the standard 48 and the 3 ADA with the
56?
Warrick: One space per bedroom is the requirement by ordinance. ADA spaces are
required one every 25 spaces within a parking area and then bicycle racks
are required one per every 25 parking spaces.
Estes: Ok, thank you.
Hoover: Commissioner Estes, were you done? Is there any response to Nancy's
comments about perhaps waiting for the hillside ordinance?
Estes: I would like to hear our City Attorney's opine and comment.
Williams: When the issue was brought before the City Council there was in the
original resolution actual contained a moratorium on development while
the Planning Commission and the Planning staff looked at the possible
rezonings of R-2 land that was on 15% slopes and especially they were
looking at Mount Sequoyah because this was around about the time that
the other development on Fletcher Street had been before you turned down
and also before the City Council and was turned down there because of
traffic safety issues. The City Council decided not to grant a moratorium.
They removed the language from the resolution that would have had a
moratorium on development while this was being studied. They
intentionally did that from some comments from the City Council because
they did not want to stop particular development and at that point it was
known that Mr. House was looking at attempting to develop his property.
I think the City Council went on record basically as saying that they
wanted to have the hillside density studied but they did not want to stop
Planning Commission • •
May 27, 2003
Page 68
development at that point in time until the study was completed. Of
course that was quite a while ago and hopefully the study will be moving
forward. I know they have had one person in the Planning Department
that was doing this was Shelli Rushing and as you know she left to assume
another planning job in a sister city so I think that probably has slowed
down this process a little bit and now I think we are closer to getting back
up to full staff again. I don't know if we are even there yet.
Warrick: It is actually more a matter of the GIS Division being able to
accommodate our mapping needs. They are very overwhelmed with
mapping requirements from City Council and other divisions as well and
they are trying to get the information. We do need to get more staffing
placed on this project but it is one of those items that is in our work
program as a priority for this calendar year.
Williams: I would be a little bit reluctant to put all potential developments on hold,
all multi -family developments in 15% land on hold. The City Council
potentially could do that and probably could do that without incurring
substantial risks although there would be some risk for developers who are
saying well you're denying me my development and going after the City
for inverse condemnation. I think that would have to be a City Council
decision. I don't think the Planning Commission itself should try to make
such a decision. I think there would be some danger to the city if you
decided to try to do that unilaterally and just say well we are not going to
approve the development, we are going to put it on hold until the City
Council has acted. There is nothing to prove that the City Council is
going to take any action on rezoning. They are going to have a study done
and then they will look at the study and decide what they want to do.
They might decide to do nothing. We don't know what they are going to
do. Since we also can't give you a definite time period when that can be
done at this point in time we are in a little bit of a dangerous ground to
stop consideration of a Large Scale Development that meets the other
requirements of the ordinance, if you would determine that this meets the
requirements of the ordinance. Just to wait for a study when we don't
know when it is going to be done nor do we know what the results shall
be.
Hoover: Thank you Mr. Williams. Are there any other questions about that
concern?
Vaught: I do have a question on the cost share agreement and this might be for the
City Attorney as well. It is my understanding that if we approve this here
it still has to go before the City Council for the cost share section. Does it
go for the whole thing or just the cost share portion of the ordinance?
Williams: My understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong Dawn, it's just the cost
Planning Commission
May 27, 2003
Page 69
share that you all can make a recommendation but the ultimate decision is
up to the City Council on whether or not they want to participate in that.
Is that the way you understand it?
Warrick: I agree. The development approval is in the hands of the Planning
Commission, or consideration is in the hands of the Planning Commission.
Any cost share, any allocation of city funds requires the City Council to
act on that. Typically the process is that the project is forwarded to the
Street Committee of the City Council. They make a recommendation to
the full City Council with regard to entering into a cost share on a
particular project. The Planning Commission is asked to in this particular
case determine if it is appropriate that a cost share be considered. Again,
you don't have the ability, nor does staff have the ability to allocate funds.
Estes: Dawn, one concern that I had when we saw this in an advisory capacity
and which we discussed was the determination of whether Olive is a local
street or a collector street, did we ever make that determination?
Warrick: We have treated Olive as a residential street because of the section and the
amount of traffic that it carries. A residential street is designed to carry
between 300 and 500 vehicles per day and is typically a narrower street.
Estes: What is the city standard for a residential street?
Warrick: A residential
street is
a 24' street
with
curb and gutter, storm drain,
sidewalks on
one side.
Olive doesn't
meet
that requirement.
Estes: We're recommending, or staff is recommending, Center Street between
Olive and Walnut be a 20' street?
Warrick: In this particular situation we are trying to work within existing
conditions. The right of way existing is 30', which is a narrow right of
way for a residential street a 40' right of way is really necessary in order
to meet the city's standards. Working within the existing conditions we're
trying to get the amount of street that is consistent with many of the
surrounding streets and that will provide a two way access to this
development. No it will not be a standard street. It will meet the grade
requirements, it will meet the width necessary in order to provide access
for fire and emergency vehicles.
Estes: What are we recommending for Olive?
Warrick: For Olive Street, which is in a 60' right of way it has a width that varies
between 18' and 20'. Our recommendation is that the developer provide a
consistent 20' uniform street width from the development north to Spring
Street.
Planning Commission • •
May 27, 2003
Page 70
Estes: Somewhere I got the notion that a standard residential street was 28'
Warrick: A local street is 28'.
Estes: Ok, a local street is 28' and a residential street is 24'. The reason that we
are recommending that Olive be 20' and that Center be 20' is because we
don't have the right of way, is that correct?
Warrick: On Olive Street the right of way does exist. If Olive Street north of this
development to Spring were widened out to either residential or local
street standards the steep driveways that currently access the structures on
Olive Street would be made more steep. I think that there would be more
of an issue in dealing with existing conditions and trying to work around
the infrastructure and improvements that people have made to that street.
Estes: What troubles me is that we have a piece of property that is R-2, if we
follow the ordinance and if we look at the applicant's compliance with the
ordinance we fall into on that basis alone that the Large Scale
Development is appropriate. Yet, if we look at it in a practical pragmatic
sort of way it just doesn't seem like it is appropriate, it is just not
appropriate. That is the quandary that I have. If you make a list of each of
the ordinances and the applicant's compliance with each of the ordinances
you pretty much have to check off all but about maybe one or two of them
but then if you look pragmatically at what we're doing it sure isn't the best
place to put this project but that is what we are being asked to do.
Hoover: Are there any other comments?
Bunch: I have a question for legal staff. Could you elaborate a little bit on
creating a substandard street? I understand retrofitting Olive from the
development north to Spring Street that that is a preexisting condition and
basically any work that would be done there would be more of a
maintenance issue. What sort of legal issues are we looking at creating a
substandard street on Center?
Williams: I don't think that we are creating a dangerous legal position for ourselves.
It might be a policy issue that certainly the City Council should look at.
Why would we not follow our own street standards that we require other
developers to do. From a legal point of view you know we are protected
from our own negligence by sovereign immunity so I think at worst
someone could bring a cause and say that we were negligent in building a
street that is too narrow. Of course you look throughout this area of
Mount Sequoyah you will see lots of 20' and more narrow streets with no
sidewalk and no curb and gutter. Basically once you get up on the
mountain to Fletcher and Rogers, Oklahoma Way, Lighton Trail, that is
Planning Commission
May 27, 2003
Page 71
the way all of these streets are built and that is the way they were
developed in the past before we had street standards. It is not out of tune
with the regular neighborhood even though it does not match our current
street standards. Of course normally it is the city's policy that it is going
to follow all of the ordinances that it requires other people to follow when
it does developments.
Estes: Mr. Williams, I have a question regarding city resolution 9496. It is in our
materials at the bottom of page 8.2 and the top of 8.3. In the third full
paragraph about half way down it says "The developer's share shall he
that cost which bears a rational nexus to the needs created by the
development. In no event shall the developer be responsible for less than
the cost of a standard 31' local street." What does that mean? Plain
reading of that to me means that the developer is responsible for 100% of
the cost of the street until it goes to 31 plus something.
Williams: I think that refers to, and of course 31' used to be what a local street
standard was and that was reduced after this resolution was made. What
that means is when a collector on the Master Street Plan would go through
a developer's development and the city would determine that it needed to
go ahead and have a collector built, the developer's cost would have to be
the full cost for the 31' street and then the city would pick up at that point
the extra 5' cost to make it a 36' wide collector. I think that is what that is
referring to as opposed to this particular situation where this street is not
actually even abutting Mr. House's land.
Anthes: I guess I am a little concerned that someone with the city staff was
disingenuous with the neighborhood in telling them to wait for a hillside
study in order to take action. That was eluded to and I hope that is not
what happened. Also, when I first went to this site after knowing that this
Commission required connectivity I approached a drive through from the
south part of Center and am very familiar with where Ms. Bryant's house
sits. It is concerning me that we're looking at taking that street down it
looks like it would go within 5' of the exterior wall of your home. That is
not necessarily the nicest thing to do to somebody, long term residents of
the neighborhood as I know you have been. My question of staff is if we
are requiring connectivity as part of this project, and I know Mr. House is
not being required to build the street west of Walnut Street, but assuming
that that connection would then happen as a result of this loop happening,
what provision is made within our design to alleviate the impact of
running a street within that close of an existing property? What happens?
Warrick: I am going to ask our engineer to address that.
Casey:
I'm not
sure
that
I can
fully answer
that.
We
will have to

improvements made. I believe there is a stone wall that runs east and west
along the Bryant property and other landscaping and improvements. We
might refer to Mr. Williams to see what the responsibility of the city is if
improvements are made, private improvements are made within city right
of way. Is the city required to replace those? Would that be at our
expense or would that be something that the owner would have to take
care of?
Williams: I would think if it is within a city right of way it actually is city property
even if someone else has placed it there. Occasionally someone will
inadvertently place something within the right of way and usually it is not
actually within the street itself and then often times we will see that we
will make an exception and reduce the amount of setback so that it will not
be within the right of way. If it was actually within the street area I don't
know what the city could do. That has been supposedly property
dedicated to the city and it is city property at that point in time until it
would be vacated. If it was vacated then it would go back to the abutting
property owners on both sides of what the dedicated street was. Until that
happens it is city property and a city easement and a public easement to
use that property and if someone would build something across it, it would
be subject to be taken down I think with no compensation.
Anthes: I beg the indulgence of the applicant because I realize this is off your site.
I just have some questions about this procedure. I understand that Mr.
Estes was looking at your deed and that your home was built somewhere
around 1936 you were saying and we were saying that the street plats were
done in the 1970's, is that correct?
Warrick: No, current city regulations with regard to setbacks and .zoning were
adopted in 1970. This portion of the city I'm guessing that this area of the
subdivision was created and adopted by the city in the 1920's, maybe the
early 1930's.
Anthes: Per
her comments about
that no one has
been able
to show the Bryant's
the
exact right of way on
a map, is that the
case?
Warrick: I have not had an opportunity to speak with the Bryants. I will be glad to
sit down in the office and show our plat maps if that is necessary. I have
not had that opportunity, I have not been asked the question.
Hoover: Mandy, do you know the dimension from the right of way to their
structure approximately? I know we saw a marker out there when we
went on tour.
Bunch, M: From all accounts I have heard it is 5' to 10' and just looking at it, it looks
like that too. It is close.

Planning Commission
May 27, 2003
Page 73
Ostner: Is that to the road bed or from the right of way? Five to ten feet from
house to curb or from house to right of way?
Bunch, M: I believe it is from the right of way. The right of way is 30', the street
would be 20' centered within that. The reason Matt answered you the way
he did is because of the grading in that area. It is kind of hard to say
where the limits of construction would actually fall.
Hoover: Flow much do you think that would be from the curb to the structure
about?
Bunch, M: Well it is 20' with no curbs so probably I5'. It is hard to guess at this
point.
Bunch: Matt, is there a water line within this same area and would that create a
different offset to where it couldn't be centered because the City of
Fayetteville's water line, what part of Center Street does that line up with?
Casey: It generally runs along the north portion of the right of way. The roadway
can be constructed over that line.
Bunch: Ok, so the water line is not a reason to make the street not be centered on
the right of way?
Casey: That is correct.
Hoover: Are there other
comments? Do
we have
a motion? Can I call for a motion
a second time?
I will call for a
motion a
third time.
Williams: Let me advise the Planning Commission that there must be a motion. If
you, I think your habit has been if there is not a motion it is denied. Then
you would be denying a Large Scale Development with no reasons given.
Please, you might want to deny it but give your reasons that you are
denying it. Do not just sit mute and no one say anything because I
guarantee you we lose if we deny this with no reasons given. Somebody
needs to make a motion yes or no.
Vaught: I have a question for staff I guess. The idea of finishing out Center is
something you are recommending, would you recommend the project
without that connection?
Warrick: We brought this to the Planning Commission as a Concept Plat. The
Planning Commission voted to connect. Staff is recommending the
connection. The city has a policy of connectivity. We feel that it is
important to have street connections and not to provide additional dead-
Planning Commission • •

Page 74
ends for conflicts in the future. Yes, staff is recommending the
connection. I believe that it is important to be consistent with the Concept
Plat that the Planning Commission heard in April recommending that
Center Street be connected.
Vaught: I think I agree with Commissioner Estes again on the fact that you look at
this on density and so many issues that they are falling within the code.
There are a few things that are a little more objective in our standard. I
just don't know if we have the basis to turn it down. I guess that is what I
would like to hear.
Hoover: If we could get Mr. Williams to reiterate on what reasons can we turn
down a Large Scale Development like this?
Williams: If it is not meeting the requirements of our developmental ordinances,
whether or not they are agreeing to do the infrastructure as required by our
ordinances, whether it is creating or compounding a dangerous traffic
situation, whether it has adequate water and sewage access. I think those
are about the only things you can look at. If I could, let me answer
Commissioner Vaught's question about connectivity and what was done
before. There was a Concept Plat and it was asked of the Planning
Commission about whether or not they favored connectivity down to
Walnut Street. There are winners and losers in every decision you make.
Of course the losers if you said no would be the people who lived on Olive
Street who would then have all of this traffic run by their street. The
losers if you said yes would be the Bryants who would then have half of
this traffic run right by their house within 5' to 10' of their house. Keep in
mind that Olive right now is a dead end street. In fact, I think that it
would be extended to some extent but it already runs in this direction a bit
of the way. The Planning Commission in April voted for connectivity.
That wasn't a unanimous vote but I think there are only two people
descended from that particular vote. Just as the City Council is not
completely bound by what it did in passing the resolution, it is always the
most recent resolution that controls, you are not absolutely bound on that
decision. Nobody is, even if you voted for it. Even though there has been
a lot of work done by staff and by Mr. House and his engineer based upon
your decision that you made back on April 28a'. The other option would
be to decide that the theory of connectivity that is supported in our 2020
Plan as correctly stated by our Planning staff is not an absolute
requirement in every case, especially when he doesn't own the land down
to Walnut Street. All his land that he owns is east of Olive Street so you
are asking him to make a connection away from his property, not even
adjoining his property. That is just another thing to consider. You
considered it in April though, not all of you because not all of you were on
it. That was a hard decision then and it is still a hard decision now. That
is my only other comment on that. You are not absolutely bound on that
Planning Commission
May 27, 2003
Page 75
even though you made that decision just a month ago.
Vaught: I have an additional question for staff. I noticed that there was a traffic
study in our material that was done by an outside engineer. Have you
guys done a traffic study and what is your take on the traffic situation I
guess, your recommendation?
Warrick: The traffic study was commissioned by the developer. It is included for
your review. That traffic study indicates that either of the two options that
the developer is considering, either a hammer head on Olive without the
connection or the connection would provide a reasonable traffic flow for
this development. I will let the developer's engineer address anything
additional.
Vaught: Is it staffs opinion that it does not create an excessively dangerous traffic
situation?
MOTION:
Allen: Based
on lacking neighborhood
compatibility
and traffic concerns and
safety
concerns I move for denial
of LSD 02-29.10.
Hoover: I have a motion to deny by Commissioner Allen, is there a second?
Estes: I voted
no
when this was before us
before and I
hope my
reasons are
stated in
the
motion and based on that
I am going to
second the
motion.
Hoover: Thank you. There is a second by Commissioner Estes. Is there anymore
discussion? Seeing none, Renee, would you call the roll?
Roll Call: Upon the completion of roll call the motion to deny LSD 02-29.10 failed
by a vote of 2-0-6 with Commissioners Church, Ostner, Vaught, Hoover,
Anthes, and Bunch.
Thomas: The motion fails two to six.
Hoover: Thank you, so then do we need to do another motion?
Williams: Yes. Nothing has been approved at this point.
Hoover: Thank you. Seeing that, do I have a motion?
Planning Commission • •
May 27, 2003
Page 76
MOTION:
Ostner: I agree this is a complicated issue. I cannot find the reason to vote against
it though I have a lot of opinions. I believe with the case before us that the
developer has satisfied our requirements. I would like to make a motion
to approve LSD 02-29.10.
Hoover: Subject to the conditions with the addition of number seven that
improvement of Olive Street to a 20' width north to Spring?
Ostner: Yes.
Williams: Does that include your recommendation of the appropriateness of a cost
share to the City Council?
Ostner: It does.
Hoover: Is there a second?
Vaught: I will second.
Hoover: Is there any more discussion?
Anthes: A clarification. This is based on all of staff's recommendation so also the
connection within the existing street right of way for Center Street as part
of this motion?
Ostner: Yes. That is number two. If anyone is interested, as was eluded to earlier,
someone always loses. It is an unfortunate situation and I think we can
mitigate it as best we can by making the street as narrow as we can for it
to still safely operate.
Hoover: Commissioner Vaught, did you include condition number two also?
Vaught: Yes; based on staff's recommendation I think that that is the appropriate
thing to do. They have obviously studied it and looked at it.
Hoover: Ok. Is there anymore discussion?
Estes: I will vote against the motion and I would like to explain my reasons why.
I voted no on the issue of connectivity because I was not in favor of
connectivity because of the hardship that results to existing land owners.
Without connectivity it is my opinion that the project then creates or
compounds a dangerous traffic situation and that is my reasoning for
voting no on this motion.
Planning Commission
May 27, 2003
Page 77
I loover: Thank you. Arc there any other comments?
Bunch: I will reluctantly support the motion. This is very similar to the preceding
item on our agenda. We have an unpopular issue but our rules and
regulations have failed to legislate good taste, which is not our job.
Requirements have been met and I feel that legally I feel that personally I
am bound to vote in favor of it because I have worked with this all the way
through and they have met the requirements and the problems with the
requirements so I will reluctantly support it.
Hoover: Thank
you Commissioner.
Is there any other discussion?
Seeing none,
Renee,
would you call the
roll please?
Roll Call: Upon the completion of roll call the motion to approve LSD 02-29.10 was
approved by a vote of 6-0-2 with Commissioners Allen and Estes voting
no.
Thomas: The motion carries six to two.
Hoover: Thank you. Dawn, is there any other business?
Warrick: No Ma'am, that is all.
Hoover: We are adjourned. Thank you.

PLANNING DIVISION CDRRESPONDENCE
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Jeremy Pate, Associate Planner
Matt Casey, Staff Engineer
THRU: Dawn Warrick, A.I.C.P., Zoning & Development Administrator
DATE: October 08, 2003
PC Meeting of October 13, 2003
113W. Mountain St.
Fayetteville, AR 72701
Telephone: 501-5754264
Project: C-PZD 03-08.00: Planned Zoning District (springwoods, pp 248) was submitted
by Joe Tarvin, P.E. of EGIS Engineering, Inc. on behalf of Collins Haynes for property located
on the southwest side of 1-540 and Arkansas Highway 112. The property is zoned 1-1, Heavy
Commercial/Light Industrial, in the Design Overlay District and contains approximately 289.26
acres. The request is to rezone the property to a Planned Zoning District to allow for
development of Residential and Commercial sites.
Findings: The 289 -acre subject property is being reviewed as a proposal for a Commercial
Planned Zoning District. The applicant requests a rezoning and preliminary plat approval for a
large lot subdivision within the Design Overlay District. The rezoning request, in conjunction
with a development proposal, requires Planning Commission consideration and City Council
approval pursuant to the requirements for a PZD. The proposed nine (9) lots have been assigned
Use Units and/or specific uses that are legally binding to each lot. Each of the larger lots will
require further review in the form of a preliminary and final plat and/or large scale development
review. More detailed comments regarding vehicular and pedestrian circulation, street
improvements, buffers and screening, commercial design standards, and other typical review
items will be provided with the future submittals for each of these lots.
Numerous environmental concerns have been raised with the history of this particular site. The
developer of the springwoods subdivision has indicated that the Audubon Society has particular
interest in utilizing and preserving Lot #8, comprising approximately 124 acres, or 43% of the
entire site. This particular lot is required to be preserved (or enhanced) in large part in its natural
state, thereby retaining the wetlands, tree canopy, and grasslands currently existing. Any future
development on this lot, as with the others, through Audubon or any other entity, is bound to
these restrictions and must be reviewed for Code compliance through the City of Fayetteville.

Street Improvements: No street improvements are proposed with the C-PZD and associated
Preliminary Plat under review. Staff has made preliminary recommendations for street
improvements to coincide with the development of each of the lots.
Tree Preservation:
It is the Landscape Administrator's understanding that most of the trees throughout the site will
be preserved, and that as development occurs individual Tree Preservation Plans will be
submitted for each large scale and residential subdivision.
Background:
The subject property was purchased by the City of Fayetteville in 1988. In the years following,
water and sewer lines, a lift station and fiber optic cable were installed, in anticipation of a high-
technology development site, which never occurred.
The site contains a number of environmentally sensitive areas, including delineated wetlands,
X:1Repornl20031PC REPOR7S 0-J3k:-PZD.Spnng'.00drlC-PZD 034.00 (spr/ngwwodr) REV!SED.dor

Page 4
grasslands, stream corridors and associated floodplain, and habitat for the Arkansas Darter and
numerous other wildlife species. These factors have presented both a challenge and an ecological
asset to the development potential of the site.
A total of 165 acres of the property is proposed to be developed in mixed -use residential and
commercial uses, with the remaining 124 acres (43%) to be set aside permanently for
greenspace. The Audubon Society has expressed interest in the conservation of this property and
its significant wildlife habitat for the past two years, as potential for an environmental education
center for northwest Arkansas (see attached).
Responses from adjoining property owners all reflect "no objection" to the project as described,
with one exception, which states "not enough commercial development."
The proposed C-PZD was heard at Technical Plat Review on August 27, 2003 and at Subdivision
Committee on October 02, 2003. Discussion at the Subdivision Committee meeting included:
traffic circulation and connectivity, proposed use and compatibility, buffering and screening, and
wildlife interface with residential uses.
Recommendation:
Forward to the City Council with a recommendation for approval of the requested
rezoning.
Planning Commission approval of the proposed development subject to the following
conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council regarding the rezoning of the
subject property to the unique district C-PZD 03-8.00 with all conditions of approval as
determined by the Planning Commission.
2. An ordinance creating this C-PZD shall be approved by City Council.
A Final Plat is required to legalize the lot configuration and allow for the sale and/or
development review of lots.
4. Requests for Master Street Plan amendments to Truckers Lane and Technology Blvd.
require Planning Commission recommendation and City Council approval prior to final
approval of the C-PZD. Staff is in favor of these amendments.
5. On- and off -site street improvements shall be coordinated with lot development. Staff
has provided preliminary recommendations with Technical Plat Review comments,
which remain applicable.
6. Each respective lot designated in the C-PZD shall be reviewed by Preliminary Plat and/or

Title
Date
Findings associated with R-PZD 03-4.00
Sec. 166.06. Planned Zoning Districts (PZD).
(B) Development standards, conditions and review guidelines
(1) Generally. The Planning Commission shall consider a proposed PZD in light of the
purpose and intent as set forth in Chapter 161 Zoning Regulations, and the development
standards and review guidelines set forth herein. Primary emphasis shall be placed upon
achieving compatibility between the proposed development and surrounding areas so as
to preserve and enhance the neighborhood. Proper planning shall involve a consideration
of tree preservation, water conservation, preservation of natural site amenities, and the
protection of watercourses from erosion and siltation. The Planning Commission shall
determine that specific development features, including project density, building
locations, common usable open space, the vehicular circulation system, parking areas,
screening and landscaping, and perimeter treatment shall be combined in such a way as to
further the health, safety, amenity and welfare of the community. To these ends, all
applications filed pursuant to this ordinance shall be reviewed in accordance with the
same general review guidelines as those utilized for zoning and subdivision applications.
FINDING: The proposal includes residential development and commercial development
K:IReports120031PC REPOR7SiI0-I31C-PZD SpnngwoodsIC-PZD 03-8.00 (springwoods) REVISED.doe
• • C-PZD 03-8.00
Page 7
that provide compatible uses with surrounding development. The General Plan 2020
designates the surrounding area as Multi -Use, Residential and Regional Commercial,
which are compatible uses with those proposed. The Master Development Plan proposal
sets aside 124 acres, 43% of the total 289 acres for permanent conservation to preserve the
unique natural amenities of wetlands, wildlife habitat, grasslands and tree canopy. The
proposed Audubon lot will provide a buffer along Clabber Creek and the tributary which
run through the site from erosion and siltation. All lots are required to submit large scale
development plans and/or preliminary plats for future development, providing a venue for
more detailed review of pedestrian and vehicular circulation, screening, parking and
landscaping requirements. All proposals will be required to comply with City ordinances,
along with the covenants as proposed and filed of record for this PZD.
(2) Screening and landscaping. In order to enhance the integrity and attractiveness of the
development, and when deemed necessary to protect adjacent properties, the Planning
Commission shall require landscaping and screening as part of a PZD. The screening and
landscaping shall be provided as set forth in §166.09 Buffer Strips and Screening. As part
of the development plan, a detailed screening and landscaping plan shall be submitted to
the Planning Commission. Landscape plans shall show the general location, type and
quality (size and age) of plant material. Screening plans shall include typical details of
fences, berms and plant material to be used.
FINDING: A detailed landscaping and screening plan, where appropriate, will be required
with each development plan submitted, in accordance with current City Ordinances.
(3) Traffic circulation. The following traffic circulation guidelines shall apply:
(a) The adequacy of both the internal and external street systems shall be reviewed in
light of the projected future traffic volumes.
(b) The traffic circulation system shall be comprised of a hierarchal scheme of local
collector and arterial streets, each designed to accommodate its proper function and in
appropriate relationship with one another.
(c) Design of the internal street circulation system must be sensitive to such
considerations as safety, convenience, separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic,
general attractiveness, access to dwelling units and the proper relationship of different
land uses.
(d) Internal collector streets shall be coordinated with the existing external street system,
providing for the efficient flow of traffic into and out of the planned zoning
development.
(e) Internal local streets shall be designed to discourage through traffic within the
planned zoning development and to adjacent areas.
• • C-PZD 03-8.00
Page 8
(f) Design provisions for ingress and egress for any site along with service drives and
interior circulation shall be that required by Chapter 166 Development of this code.
FINDING: Internal street circulation systems are to be designed to safely and adequately
carry traffic into and out of the proposed planned zoning district, as well as be sensitive to
safety, convenience, separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and proper relationship
of different land uses. Truckers Drive, a proposed Master Street Plan Collector, is
proposed to be eliminated from crossing the wetland area, and instead stub out to the north
property line, to connect to a future East-West Collector. Access from Truckers Drive to
Lot 7 is also proposed. Technology Boulevard, an east -west future Collector is proposed to
be removed from crossing the site to provide contiguous corridors of land for wildlife
movement on Lot 8. Sidewalks and trails as• designated on the Master Street Plan and
Alternative Transportation and Trails Plan will be coordinated with the developer of each
lot to carry out the goals and policies of connectivity as adopted by City Council.
(4) Parking standards. The off-street parking and loading standards found in Chapter 172
Parking and Loading shall apply to the specific gross usable or leasable floor areas of the
respective use areas.
FINDING: All proposed development within the PZD shall comply with Chapter 172
Parking and Loading where applicable.

as stated
in the approved development
plan.
(c) Open space and recreational facilities. If the construction and provision of all
common open spaces and public and recreational facilities which are shown on the
final plan are proceeding at a substantially slower rate than other project components.
Planning staff shall report the status of each ongoing PZD at the first regular meeting

shall be forwarded to the City Council for disposition as in original approvals. In the
event a PZD is revoked, the City Council shall take the appropriate action in the city
clerk's office and the public zoning record duly noted.
(3) Effect. In the event of revocation, any completed portions of the development or those
portions for which building permits have been issued shall be treated to be a whole and
effective development. After causes for revocation or enforcement have been corrected,
the City Council shall expunge such record as established above and shall authorize
continued issuance of building permits.
(F) Covenants, trusts and homeowner associations.
(1) Legal entities. The developer shall create such legal entities as appropriate to undertake
and be responsible for the ownership, operation, construction, and maintenance of private
roads, parking areas, common usable open space, community facilities, recreation areas,
building, lighting, security measure and similar common elements in a development. The

property.
FINDING: The applicant has submitted a draft of covenants for the proposed PZD
describing the responsibilities and maintenance of future open space and street systems.
Sec. 161.25 Planned Zoning District
(A) Purpose. The intent of the Planned Zoning District is to permit and encourage
comprehensively planned developments whose purpose is redevelopment, economic
development, cultural enrichment or to provide a single -purpose or mixed -use planned
development and to permit the combination of development and zoning review into a
simultaneous process. The rezoning of property to the PZD may be deemed appropriate if the
development proposed for the district can accomplish one or more of the following goals.
(1) Flexibility. Providing for flexibility in the distribution of land uses, in the density of
development and in other matters typically regulated in zoning districts.
(2) Compatibility. Providing for compatibility with the surrounding land uses.
(3) Harmony. Providing for an orderly and creative arrangement of land uses that are
harmonious and beneficial to the community.
(4) Variety. Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or
•
commercial or industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration
of economic and redevelopment opportunities.
(5) No negative impact. Does not have a negative effect upon the future development of the
area;
(6) Coordination. Permit coordination and planning of the land surrounding the PZD and
cooperation between the city and private developers in the urbanization of new lands and in the
renewal of existing deteriorating areas.
(7) Open space. Provision of more usable and suitably located open space, recreation areas
and other common facilities that would not otherwise be required under conventional land
development regulations.
• • C-PZD 03-8.00
Page 14
(8) Natural features. Maximum enhancement and minimal disruption of existing natural
features and amenities.
(9) General Plan. Comprehensive and innovative planning and design of mixed use yet
harmonious developments consistent with the guiding policies of the General Plan.
(10) Special Features. Better utilization of sites characterized by special features of geographic
location, topography, size or shape.
FINDING: The proposal is for mixed -use planned development comprised of multifamily
residential, single family residential, office and commercial uses with 43% of the site, at
minimum, to be preserved as greenspace. The rezoning of the property to a planned zoning
district may be deemed appropriate due to the provision of flexibility by providing a
number of housing types and opportunities; compatibility with existing and planned
surrounding land uses; harmony in creating a mixture of land uses that serve one another;
variety in providing housing, employment and recreational/educational activities to achieve
an integration of economic and development opportunities; no negative impact on future
land development in the area; provision of contiguous open space potentially providing
educational and recreational activities at the community and regional levels; a maximum
enhancement of existing natural features with the preservation of 124 acres of ecologically
sensitive habitat; and a planning approach that incorporates mixed, yet harmonious
development in the same area, consistent with the guiding policies of the General Plan.
(B) Rezoning. Property may be rezoned to the Planned Zoning District by the City Council
in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and Chapter 166, Development. Each
rezoning parcel shall be described as a separate district, with distinct boundaries and specific
design and development standards. Each district shall be assigned a project number or label,
along with the designation "PZD". The rezoning shall include the adoption of a specific master
development plan and development standards.
FINDING: Staff has reviewed the proposed development with regard to findings
necessary for rezoning requests. Those findings are attached to this report. An ordinance
will be drafted in order to create this Planned Zoning District which will incorporate all
conditions placed on the project by the Planning Commission. Covenants provided by the
developer will be included in the PZD ordinance. This ordinance will be forwarded to the
City Council for approval.*
(D) C-PZD, Commercial Planned Zoning District
(1) Purpose and intent. The C-PZD is intended to accommodate mixed -use developments
containing any combination, including multiple combinations of commercial, office or
residential uses in a carefully planned configuration in such a manner as to protect and
enhance the availability of each independent use. The C-PZD is also intended to
E
• C-PZD 03-8.00
Page 15
accommodate single use commercial developments that are determined to be more
appropriate for a PZD application than a general commercial rezone. The legislative
purposes, intent and application of this district include, but are not limited to, the
following:
(a) To encourage the clustering of commercial and office activities within areas
specifically designated to accommodate such uses and to discourage the proliferation
of commercial uses along major thoroughfares and noncommercial areas.
(b) To provide
for
orderly
development in order to minimize adverse impact on
surrounding
areas
and on
the general flow of traffic.
(c) To encourage orderly and systematic commercial, office or mixed use development
design or a combination thereof, providing for the rational placement of activities,
vehicular and pedestrian circulation, access and egress, loading, landscaping and
buffering strips.
(d) To encourage commercial development which is consistent with the city's General
Plan.
(e) To accommodate larger scale suburban developments of mixed -uses in a harmonious
relationship.
FINDING: The proposal provides an effective relationship of different land uses within a
single development, including single family residential, multifamily residential, open space,
retail, commercial and office uses. The large lot subdivision identifies areas of potential
land use in an orderly manner, encouraging commercial development which is consistent
the with city's General Plan. As a PZD, the 289 -acre development, currently zoned 1-1,
Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial, better facilitates more appropriate mixed land uses in
a harmonious relationship.

(2) Conditions.
(a)
In no
instance shall the commercial
or office use area be less than
fifty-one percent
(51%)
of the gross leasable floor area
within the development.
(b) Residential uses must be appropriate to the design of the project.
(c) Warehousing and light industrial uses shall have a gross area per use that does not
exceed five thousand (5,000) square feet and at least twenty percent (20%) of the
floor area used for retail sales.
FINDING: The proposed PZD is required to meet the minimum 51% commercial use
within the development.
*Required Findings for Rezoning Request.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning based on the findings included as
part of this report.
LAND USE PLAN: General Plan 2020 designates this site Industrial. Rezoning this property to
C-PZD 03-8.00 is not consistent with the land use plan but is compatible with surrounding land
uses in the area.
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.
S
• C-PZD 03-&00
Page 17
Finding: The proposed zoning is not consistent with the General Plan 2020 which
designates the site Industrial, as it is currently zoned. However, immediate
surrounding areas are designated Mixed Use, Community Commercial,
Regional Commercial and Residential on the General Plan, thereby giving
the C-PZD a high degree of consistency with current land use planning
objectives, principles and policies and with land use and zoning plans.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: The proposed zoning is justified in that the site is currently zoned for
industrial purposes, which is generally incompatible within the context of the
environmentally sensitive habitat. Surrounding uses are mixed in nature and
are compatible with the proposed commercial planned zoning district.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed zoning will not create or appreciably increase traffic danger
and congestion, based on determinations made by the Fayetteville Police
Department (see attached). The potential of employment and residential land
uses in close proximity allows for increased multimodal transportation
opportunities.
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: Based on Fayetteville Police Department findings, this increase in population
will not alter the population density in a manner which undesirably increases
the load on public services including schools, water, and sewer facilities (see
attached).
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.
