CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Gary Dumas, Director of Operation0 }�
From: Jeremy C. Pate, Director of Current Planning
Date: July 28, 2005
Subject: Master Street Plan Amendment for Shiloh Drive (ADM 05-1662)
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of a resolution amending the Master Street Plan to
reclassify Shiloh Drive between Joyce Boulevard and Mud Creek from a Collector Street
to a Local Street on this policy document.
BACKGROUND
Property: Shiloh Drive between Joyce Boulevard and Mud Creek (fronting Red Lobster,
Dixie Cafe. etc.) is currently classified as a Collector Street, which is defined by the
Master Street Plan to provide traffic circulation between arterial streets, channeling traffic
into the arterial system. The Master Street Plan previously called for Shiloh Drive to
connect across Mud Creek to an eastern extension of Van Asche, which would have
fulfilled a logical Collector Street function. However, previous actions by the Planning
Commission and City Council removed the connection across Mud Creek and Van Asche
subsequently was constructed with a cul-de-sac, on which Red Robin, Boi de Ouro,
Smokey Bones and Marriott Courtyard are developed or are approved for development.
However, this action did not change the classification of Shiloh Drive, which now
terminates at Mud Creek and is fully developed. This street does function to carry traffic
in the area, however it is not necessary to require additional right-of-way in an effort to
widen this street based on the assumption that the carrying capacity of the street is
adequate to serve the existing development and any future re -development of adjoinirig
properties.
Request: The request is to amend the Master Street Plan to reclassify Shiloh Drive as a
Local Street in this location only. This would require redevelopment on Shiloh Drive in
this location to dedicate 25 feet from centerline, as opposed to 35 feet from centerline. A
Local Street requires a total right-of-way of'50 feet for two lanes, as opposed to a
Collector Street, which requires a total of 70 feet for three lanes.
DISCUSSION
The Plannin6 Commission considered this Master Street Plan amendment as part of the
LSD 05-1593 (Nelson's Crossing) on July 25, 2005, on which they voted 8-0-0 in favor
of the recommended amendment as it relates to the planned commercial development.

LSD 05-1593: Large Scale Development (NELSON'S CROSSING, 174): Submitted by
STEVE CLARK for property located at the SOUTHWEST CORNER OF JOYCE
BOULEVARD AND NORTH COLLEGE AVENUE (HIGHWAY 71B). The property is zoned
C-2, THOROUGHFARE COMMERCIAL and contains approximately 4.94 acres. The request
is to approve a 57,900 square foot commercial/retail development on the subject property.
Property Owner: NELSON'S CROSSING
Property Owner: NEXT CHAPTER RESOURCES
Planner: ANDREW GARNER
Findings:
Property: The subject property is bordered by Joyce Boulevard on the north and Shiloh Drive on
the cast adjacent to the Spring Park Commercial Subdivision with a portion of the site within the
Design Overlay District. The property has street frontage and ingress/egress on Joyce Boulevard
and Shiloh Drive. The site contains no wetlands or floodplains and minimal tree canopy. The
old Ramada Inn was located at this site and is in the process of being demolished. There is also
an existing retail store at the northeast comer of the site.
Surrounding Land Use/Zoning: The site is entirely surrounded by mixed use commercial
development zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial.
Proposal: The applicant proposes to construct a retail and office shopping center consisting of a
62,650 square foot retail building and a 5,486 square foot retail building, with 233 total parking
spaces.
Request: The request is for Large Scale Development approval of the submitted site plans for the
proposed commercial development.
Parking Ratio: As shown in Table 1, parking for the proposed commercial development is
consistent with City requirements.

Right-of-way being dedicated: The City's Master Street Ilan requires dedication of right -of way
along Shiloh Drive for a total of 35' from centerline right -of way. The applicant is proposing 25'
from centerline right-of-way and is not in compliance with the Master Street Plan. The applicant
has requested a right-of-way reduction of Shiloh Drive from a Collector Street (35' from
centerline) to a Local Street (25' from centerline), which requires City Council approval.
Street Improvements: Six-foot sidewalks at the right-of-way line, right-of-way ingress/egress
from Joyce and Shiloh.
Water/Sewer: Water and sewer are available to the site. Sewer is being extended from existing
lines in the western and southern portions of the site, and water will be extended from an existing
water line adjacent to the western border of the site.
Parks: N/A
Adjacent Master Street Plan Streets: Joyce Boulevard (Principal Arterial); Shiloh Drive
(Collector)
Design Overlay District.- A portion of this site falls into the Design Overlay District. The
following comments address that area within the Design Overlay District boundary.
• Greenspace: The applicant has not complied with the 25'greenspace
requirement along all rights-of-way within the Design
Overlay District. The applicant proposes 15' greenspacc
along Joyce Boulevard. Along Shiloh Drive, with the
required additional dedication of 10' right-of-way the
project would have 15' greenspacc. Planning Commission
Determination of appropriate grcenspace is included as a
condition of approval.
• Signage: Monument signs or wall signs have not been depicted on
the plat or elevations. All signage shall be permitted in
accordance with Design Overlay District criteria.
• Curb Cuts: The applicant has not complied with the curb cut
requirements for a minimum of 250' from an intersection
or 200' between curb cuts. The proposal utilizes two curb
cuts on Joyce Boulevard, one on Shiloh Drive, and one on a
shared access easement on the western border of the site.
The easternmost curb cut on Joyce Boulevard and the curb
cut on Shiloh Drive do not meet the minimum distance
from an intersection (250') as required by ordinance.

the site to a shared access easement linking north -south to
Joyce Boulevard. Planning Commission determination of
appropriate curb cuts is included as a condition of approval.
A note has been added to the plat indicating compliance
with this requirement.
Elevations have been submitted for all four sides of the
building. Planning Commission determination of
architectural treatment of fronts, along with Commercial
Design Standards, is required.
A materials sample board has been submitted for review.
The plat does indicate site coverage, 30.2% open/pervious,
in compliance with the 25% open space requirement
N/A
N/A
Pedestrian access from the street to the entrance of the
structure by way of a designated walk has not been
provided and is included as a condition of approval. Six (6)
bicycle racks are to be provided for multi -modal access.
Tree Preservation: The project would preserve 0.02 acre of the existing 0.05 acre tree canopy on
the site and mitigation is required.
Recommendation: Staff recommends LSD 05-1593 be approved with the following
conditions to address:
Conditions of Approval:
Planning Commission determination of Commercial Design Standards. Staff finds
that elevations presented meet the required commercial design standards. The
proposed 'Tuscan -inspired' shopping center is well articulated. Due to the scale and
location of the project outside of the Spring Park Commercial Subdivision, it is
establishing a separate design theme for the immediate vicinity.
K: IReports1200S1PC Reports107-25-051LSD 05-1593 (Nelsons Cro.ssinpj.doc
-----j 2.
City Council dcln nation of a reduction of Shiloh t.c right-of-way from a
Collector Street (35' from centerline) to a Local Street (25' from centerline). Staff
finds that it is appropriate to reduce the classification of Shiloh Drive from a
Collector Street to a Local Street from Joyce Boulevard as requested by the
applicant. This determination was made based on the fact that existing and proposed
development and future development patterns appear to yield less than 4,000 vehicle
trips per day on this section of Shiloh Drive (the marimwn allowed on a local street).
The majority of development in the immediate vicinity has direct access onto either
Mall Avenue or .Joyce Boulevard and does not contribute traffic to this isolated
section of Shiloh Drive. There are only four parcels besides the proposed
development that have primary frontage onto this section of Shiloh Drive. 11 does not
appear that 'inure development patterns wou/d make it necessary to connect Shiloh
Drive south across Mud Creek. Lack of future connection would limit the number of
vehicle trips per day to those that currently exist in addition to those from the
proposed project.
3. Planning Commission determination of appropriate greenspace in the Design Overlay
District.
a. Shiloh Drive. If additional dedication of 10' of right-of-way along Shiloh Drive
is required, the project would be providing 15' of greenspace in violation of the
Design Overlay District 25' requirement. /n such circumstance that the right-of-
way reduction along Shiloh Drive is not granted by City Council, staff does not
find that special conditions exist warranting a variance of the greenspace
requirement. Staff would therefore recommend Mw the plans be modified to
provide 25 of greenspace along Shiloh Drive, exclusive of the right-of-way.
b. Joyce Boulevard. The project proposes approximately 81' of frontage along
Joyce Boulevard in the Design Overlay District with 15' of greenspace when 25'
is required. Staff recommends that the eastern curb cut on .Joyce Boulevard be
moved to the west to line up with the drive aisle immediately west of the proposed
curb cut. The proposed violation would most likely be entirely eliminated with
this revision. It should be noted that at the July 14, 2005 Subdivision Committee
meeting, the Subdivision Committee recommended that all proposed the curb cuts
be left as proposed.
4. Planning Commission determination of appropriate curb cuts in the Design Overlay
District.
a. Joyce Boulevard. The eastern curb cut on Joyce Boulevard is located
approximately 225' from the intersection of Joyce Boulevard/Shiloh Drive when
250' is required. Staff recommends that this curb cut he moved to the west to line
up with the drive aisle immediately west of the proposed curb cut. This would
eliminate a violation of the Design Overlay District curb cut requirements for
250' from an intersection. It should he noted that at the .July 14, 2005
Subdivision Committee meeting, the Subdivision Committee recommended that
the proposed curb cuts on Joyce Boulevard be left as proposed. The committee
agreed with the applicant's concern that moving this curb cut to the west would
cause internal traffic circulation problems and would not provide adequate throat
length for vehicles entering the site.
•
KiReportst20051PC Reports107-25.0511SD 05-1593 (Nelson's Crossing) dna
b. Shiloh DriveI..y curb cuts on the project's Shilohit; frontage would be in
violation of Design Overlay District curb cut standards. .Staff recommends a curb
cut along the project's Shiloh Drive frontage to provide connectivity. Some
options include:
• Leave the curb as proposed by the applicant. This would be
approximately 200' from the intersection of Shiloh Drive and Joyce
Boulevard (a 50' violation), and within approximately 60' of the existing
curb cut to the north (a /40' violation).
• Move the curb cut from the proposed location as far to the south as
possible to eliminate the violation of curb cut requirement of 250' from an
intersection. However, this would put the curb cut within approximately
20' of an existing curb cut (a 180' violation).
1t should be noted that at the July 14, 2005 Subdivision Committee the committee
recommended Mw the curb cut on Shiloh Drive be left as proposed. The
committee expressed concern that moving it north or south would make it very
close to existing curb cuts resulting in potential traffic hazards.
Refer to the tree preservation report for additional conditions.
6. Pedestrian access from the street frontage to the entrance of the proposed structures
shall be provided and depicted on the plat. Pedestrian access shall not replace a
landscape island.
All freestanding and wall signs shall comply with Design Overlay District and
Commercial Design Standards and other ordinance specifications for location, size,
type, number, etc.
Standard Conditions of approval:
8. Trash enclosures shall be screened with access not visible from the street, with
materials that arc complimentary to and compatible with the proposed building.
Access to the enclosure shall not be visible from the street, pursuant to city ordinance.
9. All outdoor lighting shall be meet with the criteria set forth in the City of
Fayetteville's Lighting Ordinance.
10. All mechanical/utility equipment (roof and ground mounted) shall he screened

Re: Nelson's Crossing - LSD 05-1593
Fayetteville, Arkansas
Dear Mr. Pate:
We would like to the following waivers and variances on the referenced project. These waivers are
necessary for the development of the project
Dedication of Right of Way along Shiloh Drive 35 feet from Centerline - We request that the ROW
dedication be reduced to 25 feet from centerline of Shiloh Drive. The Master Street Plan shows Shiloh
Drive as a Collector street. However, as part of the approval process of CMN Business Park II Phase II, it
was recognized that Shiloh Drive would not extend across Mud Creek. For this reason we believe that the
street should be downgraded to a local street and the Right of Way dedication reduced to 25 feet from
centerline.
Curb Cut Distance from intersections along Joyce Boulevard - The eastern most curb cut along Joyce
Boulevard is proposed to be constructed 225 feet from the intersection of Shiloh Drive. This is less than
the required separation as established by the Design Overlay District. We located the driveway as shown
to provide a direct connection from the rear service area of the main building to Joyce Boulevard. If we
moved the driveway to the next parking bay to the west then truck traffic would need to make two
additional 90 degree tums to exit the site. We believe that a safer and more accessible site design is
achieved with the driveway as proposed.
Twenty five foot green space requirement within the Design Overlay District - We request that the 25 foot
width be reduced to 15 feet along an 81 foot length of Joyce Boulevard. This the area immediately to the
west of the eastem most driveway. The Design Overlay District Boundary in this area crosses the
property line at a very flat angle. This created several challenges with designing the project site. We can
only achieve the 25 green space in this area by eliminating 9 parking spaces. However the parking on the
site is at a premium and those spaces are needed We would meet the 25 foot requirements at the other
street frontages.
Curb Cut Distance from intersections - The curb cut along Shiloh Drive is proposed to be constructed 160
feet from the intersection of Joyce Boulevard. This is less than the required separation as established by
the Design Overlay District. We located the driveway as shown to provide a direct connection along the
front aisle of the project and believe this is the preferred location for this driveway. There is an existing
driveway into the site immediately south of this proposed location that will be closed as part of this project
construction.
Please call me at 444-8171 if there are any questions.
Sincerely,
Clark Consulting

Tim Conklin, Planning and Development Management Director C
From: Leif Olson, Associate Planner
Date: August 18, 2005
Subject: Approval of a resolution to amend the Master Street Plan to reclassify Rupple
Road from a Minor Arterial street to a Principal Arterial street. (ADM 05-1666).
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of a resolution amending the Master Street Plan to
reclassify the entire length of Rupple Road from a Minor Arterial Street to a Principal
Arterial Street.
BACKGROUND
Property: Areas adjacent to the existing Rupple Road are developing rapidly and there
have been ongoing discussions regarding the future alignment and cross-section for
Rupple Road. The future extension of Rupple Road to both the north and south will
provide an essential corridor to access the residential, commercial, and civic uses
currently being designed and built in this area. The Master Street Plan currently identifies
Rupple Rd. as a Minor Arterial which requires a 90' right-of-way and four 12' travel
lanes. This Master Street Plan amendment will reclassify Rupple Rd. as a Principal
Arterial requiring a 110' right-of-way with a 20' minimum median planting strip, with
dedicated turn lanes at intersections, and four 12' travel lanes. This Principal Arterial
cross-section will enhance the travel experience for residents by providing a functional
and attractive road designed to move traffic safely and efficiently.
Request: The request is to amend the Master Street Plan to reclassify Rupple Road as a
Principal Arterial.
DISCUSSION
1 he Planning Commission considered this Master Street Plan amendment on July 25,
2005, on which they voted 9-0-0 in favor of the recommended amendment.
