RE: Appeal of LSD 16-5488 The Macey Drive Townhomes
To Whom It May Concern,
Please accept this letter as a formal request to appeal the Planning Commission's decision to deny LSD 16-5488
The Macey Drive Townhomes. I respectfully request this project be placed on the City Council's agenda for
the next available date.
Our justification for the appeals is as follows:
1. We have complied with every ordinance, statute, and law necessary to develop property in the City of
Fayetteville. Our intended use is aligned with the City's long term plan for the property evidenced by
the existing RMF -24 zoning condition.
2. All City of Fayetteville departments involved in this project have recommended it for approval
(engineering, planning, fire, solid waste, etc.) and see no issues.
3. The Planning Commission denied the project based on subjective analysis and the assumption that a
possible traffic safety issue existed within the Pine Valley Subdivision. There is no conclusive
evidence that any traffic safety issues exist.
4. The newly completed intersection at Shiloh Drive and Mount Comfort will safely and easily control
traffic entering and leaving this area. The intersection was designed and built with additional capacity
to handle increased traffic counts related to new rooftops being built in this part of town.
Based on the above information, we feel strongly that our property rights are being unjustly hindered by denial
of this proposed development. Again, we have received approval from all departments within the City of
Fayetteville and have met or exceeded any and all ordinances governing development of this property.
I hope you will agree with our position and allow The Macey Drive Townhomes to be heard in front of the City
Council.
We believe this development is a positive addition to the City of Fayetteville and hope that the City Council
will agree. Together we will leave our Legacy one Venture at a time.
Sincerely,
Tim Brisiel

MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2016
TO: Mayor, Fayetteville City Council
THRU: Andrew Garner, Planning Director
FROM: Harry Davis, Planner
DATE: September 16, 2016
SUBJECT: LSD 16-5488: Large Scale Development (2900 BLOCK OF MT.
COMFORT RD./MACEY DR. TOWNHOMES, 363): Submitted by SWOPE
CONSULTING for properties located in the 2900 BLOCK OF MT.
COMFORT RD. The property is zoned RMF -24, RESIDENTIAL MULTI-
FAMILY — TWENTY-FOUR (24) UNITS PER ACRE and RSF-4,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY — FOUR (4) UNITS PER ACRE,
containing approximately 6.51 acres. The request is for 11 new structures
with 57 multi -family units and associated parking.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Planning staff recommend approval with conditions of a proposed multi -family
development in the 2900 block of Mount Comfort Road as requested by the applicant and as
shown in the attached Exhibits 'A' and 'B'. Planning Commission has denied the proposal based
on traffic safety. The applicant has appealed this decision to City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is an undeveloped portion of land south of a tributary to Hamestring Creek
and north of Pine Valley Subdivision. The property on which the proposed Large Scale
Development is located is a 6.51 acre flag lot off Mount Comfort Rd. The development will be
accessed from Macey Dr. through Pine Valley Subdivision.
Request: The proposal is to develop eleven new residential structures with 57 multi -family units
and associated parking. As part of the project, the applicant will be extending Macey Dr.
approximately 150 feet into the site to provide street frontage for the development.
Public Comments: At the August 11, 2016 Subdivision Committee, members of the public spoke
that are concerned about the density in this project and the likely increase in traffic on Mount
Comfort Rd. Subdivision Committee forwarded this project to Planning Commission in order to let
the full commission discuss traffic impacts as a result of this development.
At the September 12, 2016 Planning Commission meeting, a member of the public spoke in favor
of the development upon understanding that the project would not front directly onto Mount
Comfort Rd. The citizen then stated that more traffic in Pine Valley would slow down car speeds.
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
DISCUSSION:
This project was tabled at the August 22, 2016 Planning Commission to allow the applicant to
modify architectural elevations and for staff to use traffic accident data and analysis to determine
if this project will compound or create a traffic hazard.
Upon reviewing data for the intersection of Mount Comfort and Shiloh in comparison to other
similar intersections across Fayetteville, Planning and Engineering staff find that this new
development will not compound or create a dangerous traffic hazard (see attached data
spreadsheets). Accident data in Fayetteville is based on proximity to intersections. For example,
although there were 5 accidents near the corner of Mount Comfort and Shiloh in 2014, those
accidents may have happened along Mt. Comfort going east or west. They may also have taken
place north of said intersection. It is not conclusive that accidents originate from traffic generated
in the direction of Pine Valley.
Staff also reviewed accident data within the Pine Valley Subdivision in order to assess conditions
within the neighborhood (see attached data spreadsheets) and have made the same conclusions.
This proposed project will not compound or create a dangerous traffic hazard. Planning staff have
collectively toured this neighborhood and developed an opinion that the winding and
topographically -varying nature of Wildwood Dr., W. Glen Meadow, and W. Marigold Dr. would
contribute to traffic calming. This would be to the benefit of both current residents and future
drivers seeking to go from the proposed development to Shiloh Dr.
Planning and Engineering staff would like to further address concerns related to making the
developer cross the creek to the north and connect with Mount Comfort Rd. by stating that the
connection would not be reasonable. The cost to cross the creek and connect would be
economically infeasible for a project of this size. Bridging the creek and building nearly a fifth of a
mile of roadway, even at the bare minimum of streets without storm drains and curbs, would not
be a reasonable requirement for 57 new dwelling units. Many potential users of that connection
would still need to use the Mount Comfort and Shiloh intersection, thereby not substantially
diverting traffic away from the perceived issue in question.
On September 12, 2016, the Planning Commission heard the proposed project for a second time
with the new traffic analysis information. Commissioners generally had the same concerns and
attempted to table the project to allow the applicant more time for additional information. The
motion to table failed with 3-5-0. A motion was made to approve the project, which also failed with
3-5-0.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. Planning Commission approval of compliance with the Urban Residential Design
Standards. Subdivision Committee gave no recommendation on this issue. Staff finds that,
with the revisions provided by the project architect, the 11 proposed multi -family buildings
provide enough variation between building types. UDC Section 166.23(D)(2) requires that
no building type may be repeated more than three times in a development. Staff finds that
the applicant's proposal gives adequate variation between building types.
2. Planning Commission approval of parkland dedication or payment of fees in lieu.
Subdivision Committee made no recommendation on this issue. On June 29, 2016 the
Parks and Advisory Board reviewed this project and recommended accepting money in
lieu of land dedication to satisfy the park land dedication ordinance, Parks fees in the
amount of $31,920 for 57 new residential units are due prior to singing the final plat. Final
fees will be assessed dependent on the total number of units actually constructed.
3. Planning Commission approval of street improvements. Subdivision Committee gave no
recommendation on this issue. Staff recommends that this project extend Macy Drive into
the site approximately 150 feet into the site as proposed on the submitted site plans.
4. Right-of-way dedication is required in the amount of 50 feet in width for the extension of
Macy Drive into the site. Right-of-way dedication is not required along Mount Comfort
Road as adequate street frontage exists along this road.
5. Conditions of approval from Engineering and Urban Forestry are included in the official
conditions of approval, attached hereto.
6. Revisions shall be made prior to construction as outlined in the attached redline and
department commentary documents.
STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
7. Impact fees for fire, police, water, and sewer shall be paid in accordance with City
ordinance.
8. Plat Review and Subdivision comments (to include written staff comments provided to the
applicant or his representative, and all comments from utility representatives: AR Western
Gas, SWBT, Ozarks, SWEPCO, and Cox Communications).
9. Staff approval of final detailed plans, specifications and calculations (where applicable) for
grading, drainage, water, sewer, fire protection, streets (public and private), sidewalks,
parking lot(s) and tree preservation. The information submitted for the plat review process
was reviewed for general concept only. All public improvements are subject to additional
review and approval. All improvements shall comply with City's current requirements.
10. All exterior lights shall comply with the City lighting ordinance. Manufacturer's cut -sheets
are required for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit.
11. All freestanding and wall signs shall comply with ordinance specifications for location, size,
type, number, etc. Any proposed signs shall be permitted by a separate sign permit
application prior to installation. Freestanding pole signs and electronic message boards
(direct lighting) are prohibited in the Design Overlay District.
12. Large scale development shall be valid for one calendar year
13. Prior to building permit, a cost estimate for all required landscaping is to be submitted to
the Landscape Administrator for review. Once approval is gained, a guarantee is to be
issued (bond/letter of credit/cash) for 150% of the cost of the materials and installation of
the plants. This guarantee will be held until the improvements are installed and inspected,
at the time of Certificate of Occupancy.
14. Prior to the issuance of a building permit the following is required:
a. Grading and drainage permits
b. Exterior lighting package must be provided to the Planning Division.
c. An on-site inspection by the Landscape Administrator of all tree protection
measures prior to any land disturbance.
d. Separate easement plat for this project that shall include tree preservation areas.
e. Project Disk with all final revisions.
f. Completion of all required improvements or the placement of a surety with the City
(letter of credit, bond, escrow) as required by Section 158.01 "Guarantees in Lieu
of Installed Improvements" to guarantee all incomplete improvements. Further, all
improvements necessary to serve the site and protect public safety must be
completed, not just guaranteed, prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
g. Completion of an easement plat.

diverting traffic away from the perceived issue in question.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is an undeveloped portion of land south of a tributary to Hamestring Creek
and north of Pine Valley Subdivision.
The property on which the proposed Large Scale Development is located is a 6.51 acre flag lot
off Mount Comfort Rd. The development will be accessed from Macey Dr. through Pine Valley
Subdivision. Surrounding land use and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

Proposal: The proposal is to develop eleven new residential structures with 57 multi -family units
and associated parking. As part of the project, the applicant will be extending Macey Dr.
approximately 150 feet into the site to provide street frontage for the development.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Water and Sewer System: The site has access to public water and public sewer.
Adjacent streets and right-of-way: This parcel currently has frontage onto Mount Comfort Rd., but
the development will extend Macey Dr. from the south to create frontage and access. Adequate
right-of-way exists on Mount Comfort Rd. and the extended Macey Dr. is to be dedicated as a
public street, with 50 feet of right-of-way.
Street Improvements: Mount Comfort Rd. is fully improved. The Macey Dr. extension will be fully
improved and meets Master Street Plan requirements. The applicant shall construct new street
lights at a spacing of no less than 300 feet between lights.
Tree Preservation:
Canopy minimum requirement: 20%
Existing canopy: 63.4%
Preserved canopy: 24.6%
Mitigation required: 1,800 Sq. Ft. (Eight 2 -inch caliper trees planted on-site)
Access Management/Connectivity: Access to the site will be provided through an extension of
Macey Dr. from the south with a curb cut off this extension. The proposed street design and curb
cut meet the access management requirements for curb cut separation. The applicant is not
proposing connectivity to nearby properties within the development. The extended Macey Dr. will

dead-end at the back of a parcel, which will allow for a future extension to the west across the
creek to the north, if desired.
Public Comments: At the August 11, 2016 Subdivision Committee, members of the public spoke
that are concerned about the density in this project and the likely increase in traffic on Mount
Comfort Rd. Subdivision Committee forwarded this project to Planning Commission in order to let
the full commission discuss traffic impacts as a result of this development.
approving
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendsfoiv; irk LSD 16-5488 with the following
conditions of approval:
Conditions of Approval:
1. Planning Commission approval of compliance with the Urban Residential Design
Standards. Subdivision Committee gave no recommendation on this issue. Staff finds that,
with the revisions provided by the project architect, the 11 proposed multi -family buildings
provide enough variation between building types. UDC Section 166.23(D)(2) requires that
no building type may be repeated more than three times in a development. Staff finds that
the applicant's proposal gives adequate variation between building types.
2. Planning Commission approval of parkland dedication or payment of fees in lieu.
Subdivision Committee made no recommendation on this issue. On June 29, 2016 the
Parks and Advisory Board reviewed this project and recommended accepting money in
lieu of land dedication to satisfy the park land dedication ordinance, Parks fees in the
amount of $31,920 for 57 new residential units are due prior to singing the final plat. Final
fees will be assessed dependent on the total number of units actually constructed.
3. Planning Commission approval of street improvements. Subdivision Committee gave no
recommendation on this issue. Staff recommends that this project extend Macy Drive into
the site approximately 150 feet into the site as proposed on the submitted site plans.
4. Right-of-way dedication is required in the amount of 50 feet in width for the extension of
Macy Drive into the site. Right-of-way dedication is not required along Mount Comfort
Road as adequate street frontage exists along this road.
5. Conditions of approval from Engineering and Urban Forestry are included in the official
conditions of approval, attached hereto.
6. Revisions shall be made prior to construction as outlined in the attached redline and
department commentary documents.
Standard conditions of approval:

application prior to installation. Freestanding pole signs and electronic message boards
(direct lighting) are prohibited in the Design Overlay District.
12. Large scale development shall be valid for one calendar year
13. Prior to building permit, a cost estimate for all required landscaping is to be submitted to
the Landscape Administrator for review. Once approval is gained, a guarantee is to be
issued (bond/letter of credit/cash) for 150% of the cost of the materials and installation of
the plants. This guarantee will be held until the improvements are installed and inspected,
at the time of Certificate of Occupancy.
14. Prior to the issuance of a building permit the following is required:
a. Grading and drainage permits
b. Exterior lighting package must be provided to the Planning Division.

2. Show all adjacent topographic information within 100 feet of the property boundary. This should
include buildings, driveways, sidewalks, streets, fences, utilities, landscaping, etc...
3. A portion of the property is located within the floodplain, so an elevation certificate will likely be
required, unless pad elevation is shown to be in excess of 10 feet above the BFE. Coordinate with Alan
Pugh for further information.
Drainage Comments:
1. Site Design Credit for Vegetated Channel does not meet the minimum criteria as proposed on the
drawings. In order to obtain this credit, the criteria listed in section 4.3.2.3 of the Drainage Criteria
Manual must be met. Otherwise, the water quality calculations will need to be adjusted to accommodate
the full water quality volume.
2. Post Developed Drainage Map must show the contributing area to the Vegetated Channel, and
bioretention area.
3. Runoff Curve Numbers and time of concentrations calculations for each basin must conform to tables
and guidelines established in Chapter 3 of the Drainage Criteria Manual. There are discrepancies in the
drainage report that must be corrected prior to engineering approval of the project.
4. There is a small section of new impervious area shown in Post Developed Area B. This area must meet
minimum standard #l, or provide justification for why it is not feasible to capture and treat this area for
water quality.
Standard Comments:
1. All designs are subject to the City's latest design criteria (water, sewer, streets and drainage). Review
for plat approval is not approval of public improvements, and al l proposed improvements are subject to
further review at the time construction plans are submitted.

Multi -Family @ 0.014 acre per unit=— acres 57 @ $560 per unit = $31,920
COMMENTS:
• On June 6, 2016, PRAB reviewed the project and recommended accepting money in -
lieu for 57 multi -family units to satisfy the park land dedication ordinance due to the
development's proximity to Salem Park, Gary Hampton Softball Complex, Hamestring
and Clabber Creek Trails, and Bryce Davis Community Park.
• Fees in the amount of $31,920 are due for the proposed 57 multi -family units prior to the
issuing of building permits
• Each additional housing unit that is constructed in Fayetteville places an increased
demand on the Parks and Recreation system. The money collected as part of this
development will be used to fund future park acquisitions and improvements within this
park quadrant.
• The actual amount of fees will be determined by the actual number of units and the
parks fee formula at the time of Planning Commission approval of the LSD.

,fames Hardie siding, brick, and stone. The objective is to make each unit look different and have a unicloc
The topography of the site may be slightly challenging from a developmental standpoint but feel in the cnd

4. LSD 16-5488: Large Scale Development (2900 BLOCK MT. COMFORT RD.IMACEY DR.
APTS., 363): Submitted by SWOPE CONSULTING, INC. for property located at the 2900 BLOCK
OF MT. COMFORT RD. The property is zoned RMF 24, RESIDENTIAL MULTI FAMILY, 24
UNITS PER ACRE, and contains approximately 6.76 acres. The request is for a 58 unit apartment
complex with associated parking.
Harry Davis, Planner: Read the staff report.
Tim Brisiel, Applicant: In agreement with planning staff on their recommendation.
Public Comment:
No public comment at this time.
Tracy Hoskins, Commissioner: Asks to see the elevations on the screen. Questions if the
developer needs to have a turnaround or if the street must continue to the property line.
Andrew Garner, Planning Director: Answers no.
Tom Brown, Commissioner: Believes there is a problem with the amount of accidents in the
neighborhood. There were 14 accidents in the Pine Valley subdivision, which is a higher number
in comparison to the intersections analyzed by staff.
Matthew Hoffman, Commissioner: In agreement with Commissioner Brown. Hoffman
believes that staff has missed some key information in how wide the streets are in Pine Valley
and how that would affect driving speeds and road safety. Therefore, Hoffman cannot support
the development. No further issues with development.
Ron Autry, Commissioner: In agreement with Commissioners Brown and Hoffman. The
existing amount of cars produces 14 accidents, which would be further increased by having 100
or so more vehicles going through the neighborhood.
Janet Selby, Commissioner: Does not believe they can support this development and is in
agreement with previous comments.
Williams, City Attorney: Cautions the Planning Commission to be careful in voting on this
development. Commissioner Brown's information should be evaluated by the Planning
Commission and Staff. The existing subdivision was approved and the development in question
has the right to be where it is located. Williams believes that the information sent by Hoffman is
not applicable to the discussion about this development. Planning staff should come back with a
more detailed report on the accidents in this existing subdivision in relation to similar
subdivisions elsewhere in Fayetteville. A decision to deny the proposed development would
need to be defensible in court, and therefore must have a serious traffic hazard to deny.
Garner: Explains the staffs process in reviewing the data in relation to other places around
Fayetteville. Staff ultimately does not believe this proposed project would cause a problem and
states that a professional traffic engineer is the next step in providing more information to the
Planning Commission, if they desire more data. He also clarifies that the information provided to
Commissioner Brown is the information provided by staff.
Williams: Understands and defers to staff.
Brown: Believes that traffic counts must be included in this analysis. Roads with higher traffic
counts have accidents numbering in the single digits, while the accident data within the
subdivision amounts to 14 accidents.
Williams: Cautions the Planning Commission against making judgments without expertise in
traffic engineering. Suggests the applicant should conduct a full traffic study.
Leslie Belden, Commissioner: Questions if Shiloh would be extended across the creek to the
south in order to provide another outlet.
Garner: States the Master Street Plan shows that it will be extended at some point to
Wedington.
Williams: States the bridge to cross the creek there is an expensive and far -future project.
Belden: Asks if there is considerable, developable land along Mt. Comfort that would continue
to funnel into the intersection of Mt. Comfort and Shiloh.
Garner: Answers yes.
Autry: Asks when Pine Valley was constructed.
Garner: Answers around the 2000s, as the homes there are about 10-15 years old.
Autry: Explains that much in this area was not constructed just a short time ago. He agrees with
Williams that there should be another traffic study to exhaust all options.
Brown: States that the developer should look into a box culvert in crossing the stream to the
north and connecting with Mt. Comfort. The project should be tabled to find out more
information.
Hoskins: Asks about the nature of the accidents in the report.
Garner: States that the reports do not specify.
Hoskins and Garner engage in further rapid question and answer about nature of streets and
intersections in the report.
Hoskins: States that much time and money has been spent in improving the intersection at Mt.
Comfort and Shiloh. This small of a project will not cause a problem there and crossing the river
to the north would not be feasible, based on just the cost of the street length alone, for a
development of this size. He surmises that the information has been analyzed well and that the
applicant has made the necessary changes to be approved. The developer and owner has a
right to develop this project.
,,
Public Comment:
Sharon Davidson, Nearby Neighbor: Believes this development will help calm traffic for the
neighborhood. She is in support of this development.
No more public comment.
Motion #1:
Commissioner Brown made a motion to table LSD 16-5488. Commissioner Autry seconded
the motion.
Brisiel: States that some investigation in the accident reports is needed and would be happy to
collaborate with staff. A full traffic study is not desired, as it would be a considerable cost and
staff has not asked for one throughout this process.
Kyle Cook, Commission Chair: Asks Williams if the project is not approved, then the
applicant would be able to appeal to City Council.
Williams: Answers yes.
Hoffman: States they do not share the same opinion stated by Hoskins. A final decision is
more appropriate for this developer instead of tabling and pushing their development back even
further.
Hoskins: Asks the Planning Commission if a traffic study would help them come to a better
decision.
Autry: Answers that the nature of the accident reports would determine the decision.
Brown: Offers that the Planning Commission should offer some suggestions on comparable
subdivisions that would be good comparisons.
Williams: States that the staff have provided good comparisons for intersections and the traffic
study would not provide the information desired by the Planning Commission, where the
accident reports would provide the best information.
Cook: Asks the applicant what their preference would be for a decision between approval or
denial and tabled.
Brisiel: Prefers to be tabled.
Hoskins: Clarifies that the Planning Commission is not asking for a traffic study, but more
information on the accidents.
Upon roll call the motion to table failed with a vote of 3-5-0, Motion to table for more
study fails 3-5-0. Commissioners Hoffman, Quinlan, Selby, Autry, Belden voted `no'.
Motion #2:
Commissioner Autry made a motion to approve LSD 16-5488. Commissioner Hoskins
seconded the motion.
Brown: Admits that his analysis is not a professional one, but does make use of the available
and given data.
