According to the latest approved Master Street Plan, this proposed collector street would connect Wedington to Persimmon Street. We are requesting to relocate this connection by extending Salem Street through the subject property to Persimmon Street. This Master Street Plan amendment has been discussed and agreed upon by Mr. Mitchell Johnson who is the President/CEO of Ozarks Electric. We would like this item to appear on the May 20i" City Council Agenda. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (479) 273-2209.

Pate, Director of Current Planning 4` Date: April 15, 2008 Subject: Forest Hills (R-PZD 07-2793) Master Street Plan Amendment RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of a Master Street Plan Amendment to a north -south Collector Street (Golf Club Drive), associated with the Forest Hills Residential Planned Zoning District Master Development Plan. BACKGROUND On April 14, 2008, the Planning Commission voted 4-1-2 on a motion to approve the Forest Hills Residential Planned Zoning District Master Development Plan. The motion to approve failed and the applicant has appealed the request to the City Council. As part of the planned zoning district request, the applicant has proposed to extend Salem Road, a Collector Street, through the development and amend the Master Street Plan to remove the future extension of Golf Club Drive. As shown on the Master Street Plan map (see attached), Golf Club Drive is positioned to extend south from The Links at Fayetteville project on the north side of Wedington Drive, through Ozarks Electric property before entering the Forest Hills development and connecting to Persimmon Street. The purpose of the street is to provide a north -south connection from Persimmon Street through the Links at Fayetteville development, which is currently under construction, to Rupple Road. The applicant requests the following amendment: 1) Remove the designated extension of Golf Club Drive, a Collector Street, from the Master Street Plan and in its place, extend Salem Road, a Collector Street, through the development from Wedington Drive to Persimmon Street. Staff does not recommend removing Golf Club Drive entirely from the Master Street Plan map. Though the designed north -south extension of Salem Rd. will provide a connection from Persimmon to Wedington, it will not provide the connection through to Rupple Road. Rather, staff finds that Golf Club Drive should be realigned, south of Wedington Drive, to intersect the west property line of Forest Hills, which will provide the ability for a connection to Rupple Road with future development of Ozarks Electric's property. Staff has consistently voiced concern that the associated development, Forest City Council Meeting of May 20, 2008 Agenda Item Number Hills PZD, should provide this second street connection in order to not create significant traffic congestion at the Salem/Wellington intersection. The traffic anticipated to result from this development will result in a poor level of service at the Salem/Wellington intersection for several turning movements. Approval of the Master Street Plan amendment as recommended by staff would still allow for this important connection now, or in the future, and will ultimately reduce traffic congestion. DISCUSSION At the request of staff, the applicants for Forest Hills approached Ozarks Electric Co., who owns the property to the west, and the developers of The Links at Fayetteville to discuss shifting the Link's street further east or otherwise providing this important connection, so that a through connection could be made through Forest Hills (see attached correspondence). Based on comments provided from the applicant, engineers for the development of The Links have stated construction is too far underway to redesign the street connection. Additionally, the location at which the street would enter the Forest Hills property is currently owned by Ozarks Electric Co. The developers of Forest Hills have a parcel of land owned by Ozarks Electric under contract; however, Ozarks Electric has stated that they will not sell the property if the street were required to be relocated to align with Golf Club Drive. BUDGET IMPACT None. • RESOLUTION NO.
