MEETING OF JULY 19, 2016
TO: Mayor, Fayetteville City Council
THRU: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
FROM: Harry Davis, Planner
DATE: June 30, 2016
SUBJECT: RZN 16-5442: Rezone (2514 W. LORI RD./RAZORBACK GOLF COURSE, 285):
Submitted by BLEW & ASSOCIATES, INC. for properties located at 2514 W. LORI
RD. The properties are zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL, RSF-1,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY ONE UNIT PER ACRE, AND RSF-4,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contain approximately
99.10 acres. The request is to rezone the properties to NC, NEIGHBORHOOD
CONSERVATION; R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURE; and NS,
NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission and City Planning staff recommend approval of an ordinance to rezone
the properties from R-A, RSF-1, and RSF-4 to R-A, NC, and NS as shown in Exhibits A and B.
BACKGROUND:
Background and Property Description: The assembled tracts contain approximately 99.10 acres
located north of Mount Comfort Road and west of Deane Solomon Road. The property has been
used for many years for the Razorback Golf Course that has closed for business. The land has
been cleared for many decades for golf greens, fairways and paved golf course paths. There are
some mature stands of trees in various areas, several ponds and water features, with the
protected stream Clabber Creek and its associated floodplain in the northern portion of the site.
The property is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single Family Four Units per Acre; R-A, Residential
Agricultural; and RSF-1, Residential Single Family One Unit per Acre.
Request. The applicant requests to rezone 72.72 acres to NC, Neighborhood Conservation; 14.79
acres to NS, Neighborhood Services; and 11.59 acres to R-A, Residential Agriculture as depicted
in the attached rezoning exhibit. The applicant has indicated the intention to develop a majority of
the property with a single-family neighborhood. The portion zoned NS is intended by the applicant
to allow greater flexibility of housing density while the portion zoned R-A is for conserving the
floodway around Clabber Creek. The proposed NC zoning is a single family zoning district that
provides additional variety of lot sizes compared to the predominant RSF-4 pattern in this area
and opportunity for increased density up to ten units per acre. NS would allow other housing
typologies greater than a single-family home, including two- and three-family dwellings by right.

Fayetteville, AR 72701
STAFF FINDINGS:
The City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan map (FLUM) identifies this area primarily as a Civic
and Private Open Space/Parks Area with Natural Area in the Clabber Creek floodplain area
and Residential Neighborhood Area in the south. The site is designated as Civic and Private
Open Space/Parks Area because of its historical use as a private golf course. However, this
designation does not limit the property from being able to be redeveloped and transition over time
into a different land use.
For the areas proposed NC, the proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding residential
properties to the north, east, and west by proposing similar single family detached zoning. In
staff's opinion, the proposal is not only compatible, it is complimentary and adds to the variety
and mix of residential dwelling types. For the area proposed to be NS, the proposed zoning is
compatible with nearby zones. The NS portion would be adjacent to the Coyote Trail subdivision
zoned RT-12. Like RT-12, NS would allow single-, two-, and three-family dwellings along with
limited business that would serve as a low -intensity, walkable area with an underlying purpose as
a transition between low- and medium -density areas.
The rezoning is consistent with goals and policies of City Plan 2030 to discourage suburban
sprawl by encouraging development in an area surrounded by developed neighborhoods and
roadways. The proposed use of NC and NS zones are consistent with the goal to make traditional
town form the standard. The proposal is also consistent with the Future Land Use map designation
of Natural Area on the Clabber Creek floodplain portion of the site, as it appears the proposed
rezoning would place R-A zoning on the majority of the floodplain and floodway. Such a zone
would better protect and manage the riparian corridor along Clabber Creek.
Staff finds that the proposed zoning is justified and needed to accommodate planned
development of this area. Paralleling national trends in the golf course industry, Razorback Golf
Course endured declining success before going out of business in recent months. Given this site's
proximity to existing roads, utility infrastructure, and surrounding development, it is justified to
rezone the property for single-family to three-family residential density alongside possible limited
business for residents of the area.
DISCUSSION:
This item was discussed at the June 13, 2016 Planning Commission meeting. At that meeting
three members of the public spoke opposed to the rezoning. Primary items of discussion
included concerns with increased density, flooding, traffic, and a lack of adequate street
infrastructure. The Planning Commission discussed with the applicant a desire for more variety
as the entire property was proposed to be rezoned NC, Neighborhood Conservation. The
commission also discussed the potential for non-residential services and tabled the item for two
weeks. The applicant revised the proposal for the June 27, 2016 meeting in an attempt to
address the commission's concerns. On June 27, 2016 the Planning Commission forwarded the
applicant's request for rezoning 99.10 acres of R-A, RSF-1, and RSF-4 to R-A, NC, and NS with
a recommendation for approval by a vote of 8-1-0, Commissioner Hoskins dissenting. There
was no public comment at the June 27'h Planning Commission meeting.

THRU: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
FROM: Harry Davis, Planner
MEETING DATE: :W"P-27-, 20T6 UPDATED Wf PC RESULTS
SUBJECT: RZN 16-5442: Rezone (2514 W. LORI RD./RAZORBACK GOLF
COURSE, 285): Submitted by BLEW & ASSOCIATES, INC. for properties
located at 2514 W. LORI RD. The properties are zoned R-A,
RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL, RSF-1, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE
FAMILY ONE UNIT PER ACRE, AND RSF-4, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE
FAMILY, 4 UNITS PER ACRE and contain approximately cres.
The request is to rezone the properties to NC, NEIGHBO OD
CONSERVATION; R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURE; and S,
NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.
ERROR ON PART OF ENGINEER TO INCLUDE NORTHERN
RECOMMENDATION: SECTION -ACTUAL PROPOSAL IS LOWER 99.10 ACRES
Staff recommends forwarding RZN 16-5442 to the City Council with a recommendation for
approval of NC, NS, and R-A as proposed.
BACKGROUND:
The previous request by the current applicant was to rezone 99.10 acres south of Clabber Creek
to NC, Neighborhood Conservation. The applicant indicated an intention to develop this area into
a single-family neighborhood. This item was tabled at the June 13, 2016 Planning Commission to
give the applicant time to meet with staff and revise their request according to comments and
concerns by the Planning Commission. The applicant has submitted another revised request as
described herein and depicted on the attached rezoning exhibit.
As Currently Proposed: The assembled tracts contain approximately t 2 54 acres located north
of Mount Comfort Road and west of Deane Solomon Road. The property has been used for many
years for the Razorback Golf Course that has closed for business. The land has been cleared for
many decades for golf greens, fairways and paved golf course paths. There are some mature
stands of trees in various areas, several ponds and water features, with the protected stream
Clabber Creek and its associated floodplain in the northern portion of the site. The property is
zoned RSF-4, Residential Single Family Four Units per Acre; R-A, Residential Agricultural; and
RSF-1, Residential Single Family One Unit per Acre. The surrounding land use and zoning is
depicted in Table 1.

DISCUSSION:

Request: The applicant requests to rezone_9B-99 acres to NC, Neighborhood Conservation; 14.79
acres to NS, Neighborhood Services; and 16.77 acres to R-A, Residential Agriculture as depicted
in the attached rezoning exhibit. The applicant has indicated the intention to develop a majority of
the property with a single-family neighborhood. The portion zoned NS is intended by the applicant
to allow greater flexibility of housing density while the portion zoned R-A is for conserving the
floodway around Clabber Creek. The proposed NC zoning is a single family zoning district that
provides additional variety of lot sizes compared to the predominant RSF-4 pattern in this area
and opportunity for increased density up to ten units per acre. NS would allow other housing
typologies greater than a single-family home.
Public Comment from June 13, 2016 Planning Commission Meeting: Staff received public
comment in regards to concerns over zoning incompatibility, traffic issues on Deane Solomon
Road, accessing property from W Lori Dr., decreased nearby property values from dense
development, and flooding. During the meeting, neighbors voiced concerns over traffic issues on
Deane Solomon, a lack of services included in the proposal, and increased density.
Public Comment for Current Submission: Staff has not received public comment for the current
submission.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The subject site has access to Deane Solomon Road. Along the subject
parcels' frontage, the eastern half of Deane Solomon Road is fully
improved with curb, gutter, sidewalk, and storm drainage. The western half
is unimproved with an open earth ditch. The subject parcels also have
access to Lori Drive and Emil Drive via existing street stub outs to the
southeast. Street construction and dedication of right of way would be
required if connections were made here. Improvements to Deane Solomon
and other streets/intersections would be evaluated at the time of
development.

\03 Planning Commission\01-25-2016\Comments and Redlines
Water: Public water is available to the site. A 12" public main is located within the
Deane Solomon Road right of way and an 8" public main exists along the
southernmost parcel line of the subject parcels.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to the site. An 8" public main is located within
the Deane Solomon Road right of way and an 8" public main exists along
the southernmost parcel line of the subject parcels.
Drainage: Any additional improvements or requirements for drainage will be
determined at time of development. Clabber Creek runs east -west through
the northern portion of these parcels. Clabber Creek is a protected stream
per city ordinances and contains FEMA regulated floodways and Zone AE
floodplains. Floodplain development permits would be required in these
locations. Portions of the site are shown to contain hydric soils, which are
indicators of wetland areas. Further information regarding the existence of
wetlands may be required at the time of development. No portions of these
parcels are located within the HHOD.
Fire: This development will be protected by Engine 7 located at 835 Rupple
Road. It is 3 miles from the station to the study area with an anticipated
response time of 7 minutes to the beginning of the study area. The Fire
Department does not feel this rezoning will affect calls for service or
response times.
Police: The Police Department have not expressed concerns with this request.
CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN:
The City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan map (FLUM) identifies this area primarily as a Civic
and Private Open Space/Parks Area with Natural Area in the Clabber Creek floodplain area.
The site is designated as Civic and Private Open Space/Parks Area because of its historical use
as a private golf course. However, this designation does not limit the property from being able to
be redeveloped and transition over time into a different land use.
The study area is identified as having a high level of natural resources by the Fayetteville Natural
Heritage Association (FNHA), a local non-profit group. Some habitat in the study area is classified
by the FNHA as seasonal wetlands'. As a result of the FNHA work and other City staff research,
this study area was included on the Enduring Green Network (EGN) map. The EGN map resulted
in designation of portions of this area as Natural Area on the Future Land Use map. However,
site specific environmental study of the project area has not been conducted to staff's knowledge.
It should be noted that golf courses have had a long reputation of being harmful to the environment
because of the use of chemicals (fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, etc.), water, and other
resources to maintain pristine golfing conditions 2

\03 Planning Comm ission\01-25-2016\Comments and Redlines
The applicant's proposal to rezone 128.54 acres includes two (2) major areas indicated in the
FLUM:
Civic and Private Open Space/Parks Areas are sites that are permanently dedicated to
open space or park land. Guiding Policies for this areas are as follows:
a. Encourage parkland dedication and conservation easements for trails that support
the Fayetteville Alternative Trails and Transportation Plan, the 10-Year Parks
Master Plan and the Enduring Green Network.
b. Provide an integrated network of open space areas throughout the City to serve
local residents as well as provide a regional asset and visitor attraction.
c. Plan for the long-term preservation and enhancement of open space (including
undeveloped natural areas, utility corridors, and key scenic corridors) within the
Fayetteville green network.
d. Conserve open space within the Fayetteville green network through private
acquisition and other acceptable conservation methods.
e. Encourage the creation of connected trails and walkways between community
activity areas and neighborhoods and enhance with kiosks and rest stations.
f. Encourage community -based "green" infrastructure such as rain gardens,
vegetated drainages and bio-retention facilities.
g. Encourage pocket parks, especially in the urban center areas.
Natural Areas consist of lands approximating or reverting to a wilderness condition,
including those with limited development potential due to topography, hydrology,
vegetation or value as an environmental resource. These resources can include stream
and wildlife corridors, as well as natural hubs and cores, as identified in the FNHA study,
many of which make up the backbone of the enduring green network. A Natural Area
designation would encourage a development pattern that requires conservation and
preservation, prevents degradation of these areas, and would utilize the principles of low
impact development for all construction.
A third type of area on site is indicated in the Future Land Use map, called Residential
Neighborhood Area, is summarized as such:
... These areas are primarily residential in nature and support a variety of housing types
of appropriate scale and context, including single family, multifamily and rowhouses.
Residential Neighborhood encourages highly connected, compact blocks with gridded
street patterns and reduced setbacks. It also encourages traditional neighborhood
development that incorporates low -intensity non-residential uses intended to serve the
surrounding neighborhood, such as retail and offices, on corners and along connecting
corridors.
STAFF FINDINGS
A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use
planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans.
Finding: Surrounding Land Use Compatibility: For the areas proposed NC, the
proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding residential properties
to the north, east, and west by proposing similar single family detached
zoning. Rezoning the site's middle 72.72 and aortl?ern-24.26-acres for denser
single-family residential is compatible with surrounding residential uses and
zonings, including multi -family to the east in the Pines at Springwoods
development, a neighborhood of duplexes to the south in the Coyote Trail
subdivision, and undeveloped land zoned for single family residential zoning
to the west. Compatibility does not mean that the zoning has to be identical
GAETC\Development Services Review\2015\Development Review\15-5240 RZN 2514 W Lori Rd (Razorback Golf Course)
\03 Planning Commission\01-25-2016\Comments and Redlines
in terms of the actual zoning district, building typology allowed, or use. It
refers to the ability of various zoning districts and uses being able to exist
in harmony with surrounding neighborhoods. In staff's opinion, the proposal
is not only compatible, it is complimentary and adds to the variety and mix
of residential dwelling types.
For the area proposed to be NS, the proposed zoning is compatible with
nearby zones. The NS portion would be adjacent to the Coyote Trail
subdivision zoned RT-12 in the east, a mobile home park zoned R-A in the
south, and the Bird Haven Terrace subdivision and undeveloped areas zoned
RSF-4 to the southwest and west, respectively. Like RT-12, NS would allow
single-, two-, and three-family dwellings along with limited business that
would serve as a low -intensity, walkable area with an underlying purpose as
a transition between low- and medium -density areas.
Compatibility analysis for the proposed R-A is generally simplistic and
compatible with every adjacent zone. R-A is not a conservation zoning
district, but is used here as such to protect the riparian corridor along
Clabber Creek. This part of the proposal is best explained in relation to the
Future Land Use map.
Land Use Plan and Policy Analysis: The rezoning is generally consistent with
planning objectives, principles, and policies put forward in City Plan 2030
and the Future Land Use map. The Future Land Use map designates a
majority of this site as Civic and Private Open Space/Parks Areas to
recognize the historical use of this site as a private golf course. This
designation does not prevent the property from being rezoned and
redeveloped for a different land use consistent with overall City policy. The
rezoning is consistent with goals and policies of City Plan 2030 to
discourage suburban sprawl by encouraging development in an area
surrounded by developed neighborhoods and roadways. The proposed use
of NC and NS zones are consistent with the goal to make traditional town
form the standard. These districts are form -based districts that have a build -
to zone for buildings, which help define space along streets. Additionally,
denser development with the possibility of mixed -use provides the
opportunity for a variety of price points for residents, which in turn creates
opportunities for attainable housing and walkable communities. The
proposal is consistent with the Future Land Use map designation of Natural
Area on the Clabber Creek floodplain portion of the site, as it appears the
proposed rezoning would place R-A zoning on the majority of the floodplain
and floodway. Such a zone would better protect and manage the riparian
corridor along Clabber Creek.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds that the proposed zoning is justified and needed to accommodate
development of this area. Paralleling national trends in the golf course
industry, Razorback Golf Course endured declining success before going
out of business. Given this site's proximity to existing roads, utility
infrastructure, and surrounding development, it is justified to rezone the
GAETC\Development Services Review\2015\Development Review\15-5240 RZN 2514 W. Lori Rd. (Razorback Golf Course)
\03 Planning Comm ission\01-25-2016\Comments and Redlines
property for single-family to three-family residential density alongside
possible limited business for residents of the area.
A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: This rezoning will create the opportunity for development that could
substantially increase traffic on surrounding roads over the existing R-A,
RSF-1, and RSF-4 zoning districts. Deane Solomon Road is an unimproved
two-lane road and will need to be improved with any development. In
addition, a bridge over Clabber Creek to the west of this site is indicated on
the Master Street Plan and development of this property may need to
contribute an assessment towards that offsite improvement. Mount Comfort
Road/Porter Road is a Minor Arterial roadway that was improved by the City
and Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD),
including signalization and interchange improvements at 1-49. Mount
Comfort and Deane Solomon Road will serve a large proportion of traffic in
and out of this property. With on and off -site improvements required as part
of development, an appreciable increase in traffic danger and congestion
should not result.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and
thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: The proposed rezoning would increase the potential population density over
the existing zoning, but is unlikely to undesirably increase the load on public
services. An analysis of impact to city services has been included under
infrastructure, and in the overall recommendation, included throughout this
staff report. The Police Department expressed no objections to the proposal.
The Fire Department does not feel that this zoning will negatively affect
service times to area. The Fayetteville School District is notified of all
rezonings by the City but does not typically provide comments and have
provided no input on this application.
If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of
considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed
zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as:
a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted under its
existing zoning classifications;
b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even though there
are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the proposed zoning is not
desirable.
Finding: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding of RZN 16-5442 to the City Council with a
recommendation of approval for NC, NS, and R-A as proposed.

To Whom It May Concern,
Our chent(s), Lim -on Corp DBA & Bart Bauer, wish to rezone the property at 2514 W. Lori
Dr., Fayetteville AR 72703. This consists of parcels 765-16657-000, 765-16658-000, 765-
24102-000, and a portion of parcels 765-16658-011, 765-16658-020, 765-24095-000, & 765-
15865-000. The request is to rezone the property from its current zonings of R-A, RSF-1,
and RSF-4 to a NC zoning. The purpose of this rezone is to be able to develop the property
into single family residences. Currently many of the surrounding properties are this type of
development which makes it a good fit for the area. Also this should be consistent with the
future land use plan for the area as well. The property already has access to water and sewer
so availability to utilities should not be an issue. We feel that this type of development is
consistent with the city's goals and principals as well it will have a positive effect on the
community and surrounding properties. If you have any additional questions feel free to
contact our office.
Thanks,
Heath Myers

TO: Mayor Jordan
City Council
CC: Andrew Garner, Planning Director
Harris Davis, Planner -Current Planning
FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney
DATE: July 8, 2016
RE: Razorback Golf Course Proposed Rezoning (Sequel)
Kit Williams
City Attorney
Blake Pettriingtoti
Assistanf CityAttgnIc,1,
Patti Mulford
paralegal
I am relieved to inform the City Council that you have your usual broad
discretion to determine whether or not it is in the best interests of Fayetteville to
approve the rezoning requested by the owner of the former Razorback Golf
Course. I see no constitutional or legal issues that would hamper or limit your
discretion in this case. Whatever your decision will be, it will be granted great
deference by the Courts and cannot be overturned without proof of arbitrary,
capricious or unreasonable action.
As most of you will remember, the owner of the Razorback Golf Course
sought to rezone his property a few months ago. Just like in the current, revised
rezoning request, the Planning Department had recommended approval and the
Planning Commission followed that recommendation (except for the multi-
family portion of the request). The City Council, however, listened to the very
significant neighborhood opposition based primarily on the requested density
and that impact on Deane Solomon Road and unanimously denied the
Razorback Golf Course rezoning on March 1, 2016.
The revised rezoning application omitted about 29 acres north of the creek
(closest to the neighborhoods adjoining the former golf course along its norther
border). That area might not be developed (with a connection to Topaz Drive
and/or Nevermore Lane) until the southern 87.5 acres of high density residential
is developed.
Because the density that the first proposed rezoning would have allowed
was a major concern for the neighbors and City Council, I thought you should
understand how much increased density this applicant is requesting. The
Planning Department's City Council Agenda Memo does not report how much
of the 99 acre parcel is currently zoned RSF-1, Residential Single Family, one unit
per acre or R-A, Residential Agricultural, one unit per two acres. However, the
map on page 23 of the Planner's Memo (also attached here) shows a single, fairly
small strip of Residential Single Family, 4 units per acre zoning running along
Deane Solomon Road with the vast majority of the property currently zoned
Residential Single Family, 1 unit per acre of Residential Agricultural, 1 unit per
two acres. The total allowed residential density for the developable land within
the 99 acre parcel would likely be under 150 houses.
The 87.5 acres of requested Neighborhood Conservation and
Neighborhood Services would allow a density of 875 houses (with duplexes
and triplexes in the bottom 15 acres). This is almost six times the currently
allowed density.
The previous rezoning request which was unanimously rejected by the
City Council because of density and traffic concerns was limited to 730
residential units by its Bill of Assurance. This newly proposed rezoning would
actually authorize 145 more residential units than the one rejected by the City
Council in March of this year. Despite allowing more housing units, apartment
complexes would not be authorized by this newly proposed rezoning.
Even rezoning this 87.5 acres to Residential Single Family, 4 units per acre
(which is the predominant zoning west of Deane Solomon Road adjoining this
property) would more than double the currently authorized density of this 99
acre parcel to about 350 homes. Such rezoning would appear to make
development economically feasible for the property owner. Of course, the
property owner could do as before and offer a Bill of Assurance for maximum
residential density. But as the proposed rezoning now is presented, the City
Council should understand that granting the rezoning is authorizing the
construction of 875 housing units (homes, duplexes and triplexes).
For your decision whether or not to rezone, you may not rely upon any
statements of intent by the property owner. You may only rely upon a signed
Bill of Assurance if one is offered.
The last discussion about rezoning the Razorback Golf Course land
involved substantial concerns about flooding. Although traffic and limited roads
have been acknowledged by the Arkansas Supreme Court as legitimate rezoning
concerns, I have found no zoning case in which zoning was denied for possible
flooding or drainage issues. The City has extensive regulations concerning
flooding and drainage that are implemented during actual development.
Flooding and drainage problems, floodplain issues and low impact development
are development concerns and should not be a major (if any) factor in a rezoning
discussion. (It is possible that a potential increased flooding danger might be
recognized by the Supreme Court as a legitimate zoning consideration in the
future.)
Please apply any or all of the zoning considerations that have been
sanctioned by A.C.A. § 14-56-403 Purpose of plans or Arkansas Supreme Court
decisions. Another summary of these recognized zoning considerations is below.
Factors that may be considered in rezoning issues:
1. Compatibility with adjacent zones
2. Public opposition that is logical and reasonable
3. Traffic
4. Safety and Fire protection
5. Good civic design and efficiency
6. Adequacy of public facilities (sewage, water)
7. Noise
8. Litter
9. Decrease in value of adjoining land

Subject: RZN 16-5442 (Razorback Golf Course Rezoning)
Dear Mayor Jordan and City Council Members,
My name is Zachary Hulett (address 2570 W. Vanike, Fayetteville, AR 72704) and I'm writing on behalf of
myself, my wife Stephanie Hulett, and unborn child (due Dec. 12 of this year!).
My wife and I attended and spoke at a number of City Council meetings regarding the rezoning of the
Razorback golf course as proposed by Lindsey Property Management, and we celebrated the unanimous vote
against that proposal. We felt that The Council heard our concerns and acted in the best interest of the
community in the areas of public safety, environmental impact, and current infrastructure capabilities.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the meeting tonight (7/19), but we wanted to join our voices with
that of John Scott Bull as we share similar concerns with the new proposal that will be discussed this evening.
As it is written, this rezoning proposal represents a potential situation that could result in developments to the
area that would be far worse for the community than what was unanimously voted down before. We will not
belabor these points as they were discussed extensively before, but our viewpoint has not changed between
before and now.
We would like to make it clear that we are for the development of this golf course, and we see the value in
having a wide range of housing options in the name of diversity and community. We LOVE the idea of having
some small businesses (neighborhood services like restaurants/cafes, small shops, etc.) in the area to encourage
collaboration with our neighbors and give destinations to walk to as this area currently has none.
It is for these reasons that we ask that you vote NO for the rezoning proposal unless presented with some form
of letter of assurance that the are will be developed responsibly and in the best interest of our community.
Thank you,
Zack, Stephanie, and baby Hulett

Hello,
I'm writing to document my opposition to the proposed re -zoning. Mr. Bauer's plan is great, but if it falls through (as
plans do), the property would be vulnerable to an even higher density than the Lindsey development that we (and you
by vote) already opposed. I know you cannot demand a bill of assurance, but without one I certainly hope that you will
vote no for this re -zoning. This is a huge piece of property. Im sure you understand that patience is important when
considering changing such a large parcel! Please hold strong for Fayetteville.

Good afternoon,
I cannot attend tonight's meeting so I will be unable to speak regarding the rezoning of the former Razorback
Golf Course.
I can support the current applicant's plan as he only wants to put 234 total units on the property. However, it
would be irresponsible to support this rezoning. According to the city attorney, the NC/NS zoning on this
property would allow for 145 more units than Lindsey's plan did. as you know, that plan was unanimously
voted against because of the poor infrastructure, flooding, traffic, safety and wildlife concerns raised by the
community members. All of these issues remain the same, except this rezoning allows for even more to be
built.
Without major infrastructure commitments by the city for new roads, drainage, wildlife conservation, etc., I see
no way in which we, as citizens, or you, as our representative, could be for this proposal to rezone the property.
Please vote no on this rezoning measure.
Thank you for your time.

RE: Ordinance reflecting submitted Bill of Assurance from Ron Caviness
Assuming that Mr. Caviness is a proper rezoning applicant with authority
to submit the Bill of Assurance he apparently signed on August 25, 2016 (that I
first received September 6, 2016), I have redrafted the rezoning ordinance
(attached) acknowledging this Bill of Assurance.
There may be some question about Mr. Caviness' ownership rights or
authority to bind the property owner which need to be answered before I can state
that the Bill of Assurance is valid and will bind the property owner. In addition,
Mr. Caviness will need to confirm that his Bill of Assurance is intended to limit all
of his land within both the Neighborhood Conservation and Neighborhood
Services districts to a total of 400 single family houses. I believe this is Mr.
Caviness' intent, but it is not crystal clear so he needs to clearly state that this 400
house limit will be for all structures that can be built on all of his land (except for
the Residential Agricultural property and the northern section north of the creek
which is not part of this requested rezoning).
Mr. Caviness, of course, needs to provide proof that, if he is not the legal
owner of the property, that he has documented proof that he has the legal
authority to bind such legal owner by his offer of the Bill of Assurance.
ORDINANCE NO.
