CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Gary Dumas, Director of Operations
From: Jeremy C. Pate, Director of Current Planning
Date: November 26, 2008
Subject: Variance of Chapter 167 of the UDC
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff and the Planning Commission recommends approval of a variance of Chapter
167, Tree Preservation and Protection, of the Unified Development Code, to allow approval
of a tree preservation plan prior to development review within the Steele Crossing Business
Park, finding that the proposal to donate 17% of the existing 19% tree canopy on the
property, exceeding ordinance requirements, is consistent with the intent and purpose of the
tree preservation ordinance.
BACKGROUND.
The subject property consists of Lot 8 and Lot 14 of CMN II Phase I and'II respectively.
The lots are located at the northeast corner of Van Asche Drive and Steele Boulevard and
are currently undeveloped.
The Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat for Steele Crossing Business
Park on October 23, 2006, which would have subdivided Lots 8 and 14 into five
commercial lots served by an intemal private street. The tree preservation plan submitted
with the development showed that the two lots contained a total of 19% existing tree
canopy, the majority being located along the east and north property lines and along Mud
Creek. After evaluating the tree preservation plan and arborist report, the acting Urban
Forester recommended approval of the tree preservation plan, which preserved 17% of
the existing canopy, 2% more than required by ordinance This canopy would have been
placed within a protective easement and the remaining 2% of the trees found interior to
Lot 8 would have been removed with development.
Staff's positive recommendation for the proposed tree preservation plan was based on the
overall poor health of the trees on Lot 8, which had been negatively impacted by poor site
drainage, and the fact that a large portion of Lot 8 was located within the 100 -year
floodplain. Due to the requirement for buildings to be constructed at least 2' above the
base flood elevation, significant site grading (fill) would occur that would likely require
the removal of the remaining trees. The applicants, however, never moved forward with
construction approval for Steele Crossing Business Park and therefore the preliminary
plat and associated tree preservation plan approvals expired.
City Council Meeting of December 16, 2008
Agenda Item Number
The applicant is currently requesting a variance of Chapter 167 Tree Preservation and
Protection to allow approval of a tree preservation plan prior to development review. The
applicant is proposing to dedicate 5.05 acres of land containing the 17% tree canopy
original proposed for preservation; a variance is required because there is no development
plan being reviewed simultaneously that would ultimately justify removal of the canopy
interior to the site. However, based on a detailed review of all trees by the Urban
Forester on the arborist's report and the fact that a grouping of tree canopy comprising a
greater percentage than that required by ordinance will be protected, staff is in support of
the request This action will allow the property owner to deed this land to the City, and
ensure that future development on this particular lot has met the Tree Preservation
ordinance.
The subject land dedication has been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board (PRAB) and by the Fayetteville City Council who on June 3, 2008 approved the
land donation by Resolution 118-08. Park staff recommended accepting the land to
expand the City's `green corridor" and to allow for future trail construction between
Mudd Creek and Scull Creek.
DISCUSSION
This item was heard at the regular Planning Commission meeting on November 24, 2008..
The Planning Commission voted 7-0-1 to forward this variance request to the City
Council with a recommendation for approval with Commissioner Trumbo recusing.

Submitted by MCCLELLAND ENGINEERS for property located at THE NE CORNER
OF STEELE BLVD. AND VAN ASCHE DRIVE The request is for a variance of
Chapter 167 Tree Preservation and Protection.
Planner: Jesse Fulcher
Findings:
Property Description: The subject property consists of Lot 8 and Lot 14 of CMN II
Phase I and II respectively. Thelots are located at the northeast comer of Van Asche
Drive and Steele Boulevard and are curtenfly undeveloped.
Background: The Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat for Steele
Crossing Business Park on October 23,2006, which would have subdivided Lots 8 and
14 into five commercial lots served by an internal private street. The tree preservation
plan submitted with the development showed that the two lots contained 19% tree
canopy, the majority being located along the east and north property lines and along Mud

Request: The applicant is currently requesting a variance of Chapter 167 Tree
Preservation and Protection to allow approval of a tree preservation plan prior to
development review. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 5.05 acres of land containing
the 17% tree canopy original proposed for preservation; a variance is required because
there is no development plan being reviewed simultaneously that would ultimately justify
removal of the canopy interior to the site.

The subject land dedication has been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board (PRAB) and by the Fayetteville City Council who on June 3, 2008 approved the
land donation by Resolution 118-08. Park staff recommended accepting the land to
expand the City's `green corridor" and to allow for future trail construction between
Mudd Creek and Scull Creek.
Recommendation• In general, staff would not recommend approval of a tree
preservation plan without first evaluating a development proposal to determine if and
how the existing tree canopy was being affected, and which of the existing trees could be
preserved. However, as noted herein, site conditions including flood plain, tree health
and tree species have been reviewed in detail, and it is staff's opinion that the proposal to
accept a tree preservation plan prior to development is consistent with the intent and
purpose of the Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance. Approximately 17% of the
19% existing tree canopy will be preserved along the floodplain, preserving the riparian
buffer, stabilizing the soil,reducing soil erosion and providing habitat for wildlife
Accordingly, staff recommends forwarding ADM 08-3159 to the City Council with a
recommendation for approval with the following conditions:
1. Lot 14, along with 17% of the existing tree canopy shall be deeded to the City of
Fayetteville.
2. Although not required, the applicant shall at the time of development make every
effort to preserve existing canopy on Lot 8.

ITEM t ADM 08-3159 Administrative Variance (CMN Business Park Lots -8
and 14)
On November 12th I met on lots 8 and 14 of the CMN Business Park with Mike Morgan
from McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc. to look at the riparian areas, the Army
Corps of Engineers designated wetlands and tress located outside the riparian zone. I
have reviewed the letter sent to the Planning Department dated November 14th from Mr.
Morgan requesting the variance as well as other documents related to the land donation
and tree preservation.
Based on this information and discussions with the Planning Department it is the
recommendation of the Urban Forester that the Trees within the nparian zone along
Mudd Creek be utilized as the Tree Preservation Area for lots 8 and 14 with the
understanding this area will be donated to the City by the end of 2008 or within a
reasonable timeframe not to exceed the approval of the final platting of the Steel
Crossing Business Park. This will relinquish any future plan approval for Tree
Preservation and Protection for the property line adjusted, PLA 08-3135 lots 8 and 14.

RE: PLA 00-3135, CMN Business Park Lots 8 & 14
Request for Variance
Mr. Fulcher,
Please accept this letter as a request for variance to allow for a tree preservation easement
to be placed upon this property currently being reviewed as a property line adjustment
(PLA 00-3135) without any specific development plans.
Approved by the City Council during its meeting ofJune 3, 2008 was the acceptance of a
land donation proposed by Steele Crossing Investment 1I, LLC for approximately 5.06
acres of land associated with CMN Business Park II Lots 8 and 14 east of Steele
Boulevard, west of mall Avenue and north of Van Asche (City Council Memo attached).
As indicated in the City Council Memo, the proposed 5.06 acre land donation will
provide a continuation of a green corridor in accordance with the City Plan 2025. The
proposed land donation was approved by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on
May 5, 2008.
This land donation was to occur after final platting of the Steele Crossing Business Park
(PPL 06-2280) which has been approved by the City of Fayetteville planning department,
but never constructed (Planning Division Correspondence re: PPL 06-2280 attached).
During the permitting process of PPL 06-2280, the option of providing tree preservation
for the entire subdivision was chosen as the best means of preservation of this non-
residential subdivision. Within the correspondence re: PPL 06-2280 is the then acting
City Arborist's (Sarah Patterson) tree preservation and protection report that outlines the
methods used to determine the limits of tree preservation.
Due to the proximity of this land to Mudd Creek the majority of the property is currently
within both the 100 -year floodway and 100 -year floodplain. Per both FEMA and the
City of Fayetteville's regulations, any proposed building finished floor elevation must be
raised to an elevation no less than two feet above the base flood elevation (the elevation
of the 100 -year floodplain line — see attached survey). In addition, the remaining portion
of the property outside of the regulatory flood zones consist of a series of undulating
knolls that are between zero and five feet above the elevation of Van Asche Drive. A
significant amount of earthwork is anticipated to create an environment suitable for
development upon this property.
Please review the attached documentation and let me know if you have any questions,
concems, or need any additional information.
Sincerely,

Proposal: The applicant requests preliminary plat approval for a commercial subdivision with 5
commercial lots ranging in size from 1.7 acres to 7.35 acres A 28' wide public street would
traverse through the property between. Van Asche Drive and Steele Boulevard.
Right-of-way being dedicated: Right-of-way for Van Asche Drive and Steele Boulevard was
dedicated with the CMN Business Park Final Plat. Fifty feet (50') right-of-way for the interior
street would be dedicated to the City.
Street Improvements: Staff is not recommending any street improvements with this subdivision
as surrounding and adjacent streets have been recently constructed to .the City's Mater Street
Plan standards. At the time of development within this subdivision staff anticipates an
assessment for a traffic signal at the intersection of Steele Boulevard and Van Asche Drive.
Additionally, though not shown at this time, the developer may want to consider adding tum
lanes at the intersection of the proposed street and Steele/Van Asche, to minimize future
disturbance to the street.
Adjacent Master Street Plan Streets: Steele Boulevard, Principal Arterial; Van Asche Drive,
Collector.
Parkland Dedication: Parkland dedication is not applicable for commercial development. The
Mud Creek multi -use trail is located on the north side of Mud Creek adjacent to this property.

Connectivity: The property is bound to the north by existing wetlands and Mud Creek, to the
west by Steele Boulevard, and to the south by Van Asche Drive. Vehicular connectivity to the
east is the only feasible option and will be evaluated at the time of development of the eastern
portion of this subdivision. Internal connectivity between the lots will be required where feasible
and will be reviewed at the time of development of individual lots. Shared curb cuts are
expected to occur between developments.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of PPL 06-2280 with the.following conditions
of approval:
Conditions of Approval:
The interior street shall be constructed as a 28' street with curb, gutter, storm drainage,
and a 6' sidewalk on both side, in a 50' right-of-way dedicated to the City
Sidewalks shall be installed or guaranteed in accordance with Ch. 158.01 prior to final
plat approval.
3.. The sidewalks shallbe continuous through the driveways. The sidewalk needs to be at an

elevation 2% above the top of curb. The grades shown for the driveways do not meet this
requirement.
As this subdivision is developed a traffic signal assessment is anticipated for the
intersection of Van Asche Drive/Steele Boulevard.
Cross -access and shared driveways between lots within the subdivision shall be provided,
where practical, to ensure safety and convenience of traffic movement between
developments.
6. Ingress/egress from private curb cuts onto Steele Boulevard and Van Asche Drive is
discouraged when possible, to ensure a minimum amount of turning movements are
created near this future signalized intersection of Van Asche Drive/Steele Boulevard.
Access shall utilize the interior street whenever possible.
7. Street lights shall be installed with a maximum separation of 300 feet along all streets
prior to final plat.
8. Development of this commercial subdivision is, subject to the requirements of the CMN
Business Park II, Phase I, Filial Plat.
9. The developer of the preliminary plat shall employ an environmental specialist to insure
that the spirit and letter of the 404 wetlands permit from the U.S. Army Corp:of
Engineers will be complied with during construction. Written documentation.verifying
implementation of this condition shall be provided to Engineering staff prior' to issuanee ;

application. Developers -of each individual lot are also required to comply.with this:.::,:.
condition.
10. All proposed development including individual lot development shall atminimum
comply with the standards and specifications set forth in the Unified Development Code.
Individual developments shall utilize design elements (e.g., building colors, materials,
features, landscaping, etc.) to achieve compatibility, a sense of unity, and a recurring,
identifiable theme within the commercial subdivision as a whole.
11. . Each individual lot_ shall process a Large Scale. Development for Planning Commission
approval; prior to development.
12. Subdivision area signage shall be permitted in accordance with applicable city codes. No
structures, including area signage, shall be erected within utility easements unless
otherwise approved by utility companies.
13. The label for the centerline of Steele Boulevard is located in the northbound lanes, and
should be moved to the center of the road on the plat_
Tree Preservation Conditions:
14. The applicant has chosen the Tree Preservation for entire Subdivision option available to
K:1Repoev120061PC Reparls 0-23061PPL 06-2280 (Sreefe Business Park) doe
non-residential subdivisions. This requires the development to preserve at least the
minimum required canopy (15%) and establish it into a Tree Preservation Area. As the
separate lots come through the large scale development process, they will not be required
a separate Tree Preservation plan. -
15. Staff has approved the applicants request for the option to preserve trees for the entire
subdivision. The trees found on the site marked for removal are in poor shape and are
less desirable species. Staff feels that after attempts are made to preserve these trees their
survivability and longevity would be short.
16. The 17% tree canopy preserved shall be set into a Tree Preservation Area on the Final
Plat. This takes away all development rights from the land and ensures preservation.
Please add the Tree Preservation Area signature block to the Final Plat.
17. A note must be added to the Final Plat that states the lots of this plated subdivision are
exempt froth the requirements set forth by Chapter 167 Tree Preservation and Protection.
Standard Conditions of Approval:
