CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council

Tim Conklin, Planning and Development Management Director
From: Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning
Date: October 13, 2005
Subject: Approval of a resolution to amend the Master Street Plan to realign Rupple
Road west from its current location (ADM 05-1742)
RECOMMENDATION
The Fayetteville Planning Commission and Planning Staff recommend approval of a
resolution amending the Master Street Plan to realign Rupple Road to the west of its
current location 350-700 feet, as indicated on the attached maps.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is the site of the future Rupple Road, a Minor Arterial (and proposed
Principal Arterial, with a 4 -lane, boulevard cross-section) that will in the future connect
Hwy 62 (6`h Street) to Howard Nickell/Van Asche and the Northwest Arkansas Mall area
This specific request is regarding the Rupple Road future alignment south of the Rupple
Road School to Hwy 62. The realignment is proposed by a landowner and developer in
this area that anticipates constructing portions of this important north -south street
connection as part of a phased development. Future phases of Cross Keys Subdivision are
planned along the west side of Rupple Road, south of' the Rupple Road School, and is
affected by the existing alignment of Rupple Road. The proposal is intended to move the
street further west than its current location (approximately 700 feet) in order to I) move
away from an existing home, 2) bring the street west off of the mountain into the base of
the hill, thereby creating less land disturbance and a more desirable, less expensive street
construction, (from a 6% grade to a 2% grade) and 3) align the street with Smokehouse
Trail, which could then potentially he signalized in the future.
DISCUSSION
This item was heard at the regular Planning Commission on September 26, 2005. It was
tabled at that time, with more information requested to be included on the drawings in
order to determine the best alignment. On October 10, the Planning Commission
unanimously recommended to forward this item to the Street Committee and City
Council for approval.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.

by Jorgensen Associates requesting

Planner: JEREMY PATE
UPDATE:
This item was first considered at the Planning Commission meeting of September 26, 2005. The
item was tabled, with the Planning Commission requesting additional information to he included
on the plat. This information included: parcel lines and ownership information for affected
property owners, tree canopy, topography and watercourses. As requested, this information has
been provided on the plats for review. Additionally, a property owner affected by the realignment
of Rupplc Road spoke at the meeting against the proposed alignment, citing the fact that the new
alignment, if constructed in its location, would he very close to his home. The applicant and staff
have since revisited the Rupplc Road alignment and moved its proposed condor several hundred
feet to the cast, in an effort to reduce the impact to this property owner. Staff recommends
approval of the requested realignment.
PROPOSAI,
The subject property is the site of the future Rupple Road, a Minor Arterial (and proposed
Principal Arterial, with a 4 -lane, boulevard cross-section) that will in the future connect Hwy 62
(61h Street) to Howard Nickell/Van Asche and the Northwest Arkansas Mall area. This specific
request is regarding the Rupple Road future alignment south of the Rupple Road School to Hwy
62. The realignment is proposed by a landowner and developer in this arca that anticipates
constructing portions of this important north -south street connection as part of a phased
development. Future phases of Cross Keys Subdivision are planned along the west side of
Rupplc Road, south of the Rupplc Road School, and is affected by the existing alignment of
Rupple Road. The proposal is intended to move the street further west than its current location
(approximately 700 feet) in order to I) move away from an existing home, 2) bring the street
west off of the mountain into the base of the hill, thereby creating less land disturbance and a
more desirable, less expensive street construction, (from a 6% grade to a 2% grade) and 3) align
the street with Smokehouse Trail, which could then potentially be signalized in the future.
Background: The Master Street Plan in its entirety was adopted in 1996, after several public
meetings to discuss future collector and arterial connections. The current location of Rupplc
K •lReporn1200511'C Reporn110-10.051AD.tf 05-1742 (Rupple Road At8P Amendmem/ RE✓ISED.doc

Road does not greatly lend itself to ease of construction for this major arterial, and movement of
the street to the west would help faciliatc a safer, more appropriate route. The Master Street Plan
is intended as a guideline, adopted by ordinance, in order to give the city routes of primary
connections. h is also relied heavily upon by developers when planning individual developments,
for it serves as a key component to tieing different developments together with a vehicular and
pedestrian street network.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of an amendment to the Master Street Plan to realign
Rupple Road approximately 700 feet to the west of its existing location, as indicated in the
attached maps, for the reasons listed above. This alignment maintains the integrity and purpose
of the Master Street Plan, allowing for the needed north -south future connection in this area, and
providing a more realistic plan for development than where it is currently located. The
Fayetteville Street Committee and City Council must also review and approve this alignment,
and will take both staff's and the Planning Commission's comments as part of their review.
Please see the attached maps for further reference:

(24x36)

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
TO: Jeremy Pate, Planning
FROM: Ron Petrie, City Engineer
DATE: September 20, 2005
SUBJECT: Rupple Road Master Street Plan Amendment
The Engineering Division has reviewed the plan prepared by Jorgensen &
Associates to amend the Master Street Plan by relocating the future alignment
of Rupple Road between Persimmon and Sixth Streets. This plan appears to
have at least two advantages over the current alignment:
> The new alignment would take advantage of a flatter portion of the
terrain. The terrain cross slope would be reduced from approximately six
percent to two percent.
> The new alignment at the intersection with Sixth Street would allow the
opportunity to align with Smokehouse Trail for future signalization.
The proposed alignment is similar to the Rupple Road plan that has been
reviewed by the Street Committee to be included in a proposed future bond
issue for street improvements. Attached is a copy of this concept plan.
Due to these facts, the Engineering Division supports this revision to the
Master Street Plan.

Re: Rupplc Road MSP Amendment
On behalf of the owners of the Cross Keys Subdivision, we arc requesting that the City's
Master Street Plan be amended to reflect the changes to the future Rupplc Road as shown
on the plat submitted with this Tetter. Enclosed herewith find fifteen (15) copies of this
plat. Please place this item on the Planning Commission's agenda for their review.
We arc requesting this change so that Rupple Road could be built in conjunction with the
future phases of the Cross Keys Subdivision. The owners of the Cross Keys Subdivision
are currently in the process of obtaining property south of the current phases of the
subdivision. The owners of that property have requested that Rupple Road be built
further west than is shown on the MSP since the current alignment on the MSP would
bring Rupple Road directly next to their existing house. The proposed alignment tums
Rupple Road to the west and then hack to the south and comes out across from
Smokehouse Trail on 1 lighway 16 (6"' Street). The economical advantage of this revised
aligmnent is that it is located along the base of the hills in this arca instead of going over
the top of them as the current MSP alignment docs. Our proposed alignment also closely
follows the route shown by the City's Engineering Department in their cost estimates for
the Rupple Road Improvements for 6'h Street to Persimmon Street
Please call conecming any questions you may have.
Thank you.
Sincerely;
Christopher 13. Brackett, P.E.
