CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
THRU: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
FROM: Jesse Fulcher, Senior Planner
DATE: February 12, 2015
SUBJECT: LSD 14-4919: Large Scale Development (940 WEST MAPLE ST./CHI
OMEGA HOUSE, 444): Submitted by DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS,
INC. for property located at 940 WEST MAPLE ST. The property is zoned
RMF -40, RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY, 40 UNITS PER ACRE and
contains approximately 0.80 acres. The request is for a lesser dedication
of right-of-way for Oakland Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission and City Planning Staff recommend approval of a resolution to allow
a lesser dedication of right-of-way along Oakland Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Oakland Avenue was originally platted as a 40 -foot right-of-way. Today the street is approximately
28 -feet wide and there are relatively high traffic volumes, which is indicative of a Local Street and
a 50 -foot right-of-way. Per the Master Street Plan requirements, an additional 5 -feet of right-of-
way must be dedicated with the currently proposed large scale development on this site, and the
sidewalk along Oakland Avenue, which is being reconstructed, should be located at the new right-
of-way line.
The University of Arkansas has a Master Sidewalk Plan for all of the streets within the campus
boundary area and specifies a 5.5 -foot sidewalk at the back of the curb line along Oakland
Avenue. Consistent with that plan, the applicants are proposing a 5.5 -foot sidewalk, to account
for the shy distance with the sidewalk at the back of the curb, Additionally, locating the sidewalk
at the back of curb will provide a continuous 26 -foot aerial apparatus fire access as required by
the Fire Code.
DISCUSSION:
On January 12, 2015 the Planning Commission forwarded this item to the City Council with a
recommendation for approval with a vote of 8-1-0 with Commissioner Chesser voting 'no'. Several
of the commissioners discussed concerns with some of the multiple variances associated with the
development, however, none of the concerns were related to the subject right-of-way dedication.
