Comments: • City Council Meeting of February 21, 2006 Agenda Item Number CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO To: Mayor and City Council Thru: Gary Dumas, Director of Operations From: Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning/ Date: February ol, 2006 Subject: Approval of a resolution to amend the Master Street Plan realigning Persimmon Street between Broyles Road and Legacy Point Subdivision (ADM 06-1916) RECOMMENDATION The Fayetteville Street Committee and staff recommend approval of a resolution amending the Master Street Plan to realign Persimmon Street (a Collector) south of its current configuration. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the original proposal as presented, and the applicant has presented an alternative alignment to address some of the raised concerns. This realignment maintains the integrity and purpose of the Master Street Plan, allowing for the needed east -west and north -south future connections in this area. BACKGROUND The applicant proposes to amend the Master Street Plan for Persimmon Street between Legacy Pointe S/D Phase IV and Broyles Avenue in West Fayetteville. The primary change lies within property currently owned by the City of Fayetteville, who has contracted to sell to the applicant. Originally a part of the Wastewater Treatment Plant site, approximately 35 acres of property was advertised to sell through the City Council. The contract for purchase includes a contingency that states a Master Street Plan amendment must be approved by the City Council in order for the sale to be finalized. The reason this is requested is due to the current direct alignment of streets in the area that connect major arterials and concerns voiced by neighbors and the applicant about creating cut -through, high-speed traffic if Persimmon is continued in a long, straight stretch (2.8 miles) from the Interstate to Double Springs Road. Currently Persimmon Street west of Broyles Avenue continues in a direct line to 54th Street. It is a gravel road that serves a few large, single family lots to the north. Should the 35 acres to the south be developed, it is likely that a portion of this street would be improved. The applicant proposes to relocate the Collector Street south of the intersection of Broyles and Persimmon (see attached maps), dedicating the entire right-of-way within the property, to allow for a full street section to be constructed at the time of development. This option continues to provide the important east -west connection while creating a more indirect •route, thereby discouraging high-speed traffic in this predominantly residential area. The proposal also realigns Persimmon Street west of 54th • City Council Meeting of February 21, 2006 Agenda Item Number on property recently purchased by the applicant and intended for development of Legacy Pointe Phase V. This would alleviate an intersection issue of Persimmon, 54th and the future Sunshine Road, which is a Principal Arterial. The existing Persimmon Street would remain in place, for the most part, though some improvements to provide continued access while discouraging cut through traffic will likely occur at the time of development. DISCUSSION This item was heard at the Street Committee meeting of January 12, 2006, at which the four members voted to forward this item to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. The Planning Commission on January 23 voted unanimously against the proposal, finding that it did not alleviate any problems in the area and created difficult turning movements. In response to these comments, the applicant has presented a new alternative, in which the intersection alignment is maintained, thereby not creating the difficult tuming movements, but moving the rest of the street to the south. Staff is supportive of this new configuration. BUDGET IMPACT None. • h _ RESOLUTION NO.

Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 Telephone: (479) 575-8267 MOD 9-0 -o ADM 06-1916: (Persimmon St. MSP Amendment) Submitted by Jorgensen Associates requesting a Master Street Amendment for Persimmon Street in the manner indicated. Planner: JEREMY PATE PROPOSAL The applicant proposes to amend the Master Street Plan for Persimmon Street between Legacy Pointe S/D Phase IV and Broyles Avenue in West Fayetteville, as recommended by the Fayetteville Street Committee. The primary change lies within property currently owned by the City of Fayetteville, who has contracted to sell. Originally a part of the Wastewater Treatment Plant site, approximately 35 acres of property was advertised to sell through the City Council. The contract for purchase includes a contingency that states a Master Street Plan amendment must be approved by the City Council in order for the sale to be finalized. The reason this is requested is due to the current alignment of streets in the area and concerns voiced by neighbors about creating cut -through, high- speed traffic if Persimmon is continued in a long, straight stretch from the Interstate. to Double Springs Road. Persimmon Street is a Collector Street on the Master Street Plan. It is intended to connect from Double Springs Road (in West Fayetteville) to Shiloh Drive, next to I-540. Rapid growth in this area has transformed fence lines and disconnected gravel roads in the county to paved, curbed and guttered 28 -foot wide streets with turning lanes and future traffic signals in a matter of a couple of years. It is anticipated that Persimmon Street will become an important east -west connector once all segments are constructed; presently all segments but the one under consideration now have been constructed to city standards or approved to be constructed in conjunction with development plans. Currently Persimmon Street west of Broyles Avenue continues in a straight line to 54'h Street. It is a gravel road that serves a few large, single family lots to the north. Should the 35 acres to the south be developed, it is likely that a portion of this street would be improved. The applicant proposes to relocate the Collector Street south of the intersection of Broyles and Persimmon (see attached maps), dedicating the entire right-of-way within the property, to allow for a full street section to be • constructed at the time of development. This option continues to provide the important east -west connection while creating a discontinuous Collector, thereby discouraging high-speed traffic in this predominantly residential area. The proposal also realigns Persimmon Street west of 54`h on property recently purchased by the applicant and intended for development of Legacy Pointe Phase V. This K:IReporrs120061PC Reporrs10/-23-061ADM 06-1916 (Persimmon MSP Amendment)_doc would alleviate an intersection issue of Persimmon, 54i11 and the future Sunshine Road, which is a Principal Arterial. The existing Persimmon Street would remain in place, for the most part, though some improvements to provide continued access while discouraging cut through traffic will likely occur at the time of development. Request: The request is to realign the planned Persimmon Street Collector to south of its current location, as indicated in the attached maps. • 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 Persimmon Street as a Collector does not easily lend itself to a full expansion due to the existing homes on the north side, and movement of the street to the south would help faciliate a more appropriate connection that discourages high speed traffic on long, straight streets without short block lengths. The Master Street Plan is intended as a guideline, adopted by ordinance, in order to give the city routes of primary connections. It 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. In this case several developers, landowners and neighborhood members have come together to work out a solution that hopefully serves the community as a whole. DISCUSSION This item was heard at the Street Committee meeting of January 12, 2006, at which the four members voted to forward this item to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. RECOMMENDATION The Fayetteville Street Committee recommends approval ofa resolution amending the Master Street Plan to realign Persimmon Street between its currently placement in Legacy Point IV and Broyles Avenue, a movement southward, as indicated in the attached maps. This realignment maintains the integrity and purpose of the Master Street Plan, allowing for the needed east -west and north -south future connections in this area, and providing a more realistic plan for development than where it is currently located. The 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.

Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 Attn: Planning Department Re: Persimmon Street MSP Amendment Please find fifteen copies of the revised Persimmon Street MSP Amendment and fifteen copies of the original submittal of this plan that was presented to the Street Committee and the Planning Commission. This plan has been revised to show the Persimmon/ Broyles Intersection aligned. This change was made after the reservations expressed by the Street Committee about the offset intersection even with their approval and also the concems by the Planning Commission. Other options were explored to cross the existing creek and a more feasible option was found so the plan was revised. The length of Persimmon Street without the offset will still likely pose a problem but hopefully the added bends in the road shown by this plan will help to calm the traffic somewhat.
