NORTH ST./THOMPSON): A RESOLUTION PURSUANT TO § 166.04(B)(2) OF THE FAYETTEVILLE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE TO APPROVE THE DEDICATION OF A REDUCED AMOUNT OF RIGHT OF WAY ALONG EAST NORTH STREET TO 33.5 FEET FROM THE CENTERLINE OF NORTH STREET ASSOCIATED WITH A LOT SPLIT AT 312 EAST NORTH STREET, AND TO REDUCE THE MASTER STREET PLAN RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION REQUIREMENT TO 33.5 FEET FROM THE CENTERLINE OF THIS PORTION OF EAST NORTH STREET WHEREAS, the Planning Commission voted 8-0 to recommend to the City Council that a lesser dedication be allowed to the owner of property at 312 East North Street because the applicant's proposal to split the existing 10,527 square foot lot would trigger the required dedication of right of way in accordance with Unified Development Code and Fayetteville's Master Street Plan resulting in more than one-third of the property being dedicated as right of way; and WHEREAS, City staff is in favor of the variance because the required dedication of more than one-third of the site exceeds the proportional impact of the lot split and because changes to Fayetteville's Master Street Plan are currently under review that would result in a downgrade of North Street from an arterial street to a neighborhood link; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined to accept the dedication of 33.5 feet from the centerline of East North Street and to reduce the Master Street Plan right of way dedication requirements for this section of East North Street to 33.5 feet from the centerline.

NORTH ST./THOMPSON, 407): Submitted by QUIN THOMPSON for property located at 312 E. NORTH ST. The property is zoned NC, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION and contains approximately 0.26 acres. The request is for a lesser dedication of Master Street Plan Right-of-way associated with a lot split RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of a request to accept a lesser right-of-way dedication as depicted in Exhibits 'A' and 'B' with the following conditions: The lesser dedication of right-of-way shall be in accordance with the proposed Master Street Plan and Neighborhood Link street section, totaling 33.5 feet from North Street's centerline; and 2. The lot split currently under review in association with this request shall meet all relevant and applicable development codes apart from what is requested in this administrative item. BACKGROUND: The subject property is located on the northeast corner of North Street and Waneetah Avenue, and is currently developed with one single-family dwelling. The parcel was rezoned by the City Council in January of 2019 from RSF-4, Residential Single -Family, 4 Units per Acre, to NC, Neighborhood Conservation. North Street along the property's southern frontage is classified as a Principal Arterial under the currently -adopted Master Street plan. Request: The applicant proposes to split the existing lot in to two, which requires dedication of right-of-way in accordance with Unified Development Code and Fayetteville's Master Street Plan. For the applicant's property, required dedication includes 43.5 feet from the centerline of North Street with consideration for its classification as a Principal Arterial. Complying with this requirement will result in approximately 3,800 square feet of the 10,527 -square foot lot, or 36.3%, being dedicated as right-of-way (see Exhibit 'B'). Accordingly, the applicant proposes to dedicate 33 feet from centerline. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Staff Findings: Staff is supportive of the request for two primary reasons. First, when considering the amount of property required for dedication, totaling over 1/3 rd of the site, staff does not feel as though the proportional impact of one additional lot justifies the land area being required. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the request recognizes staff -proposed changes to Fayetteville's Master Street Plan that are currently under review. The draft Master Street Plan recommends downgrading and reclassifying North Street from an Arterial Street to a Neighborhood Link. Whereas Arterial Streets are intended to carry large volumes of through traffic, Neighborhood Links act as a bridge between low-volume local streets, and high-volume arterials. Staff's recommendation to downgrade North Street in the Master Street Plan is based on a combination of existing and anticipated traffic volumes along with a sensitivity to existing land uses. When these issues are considered in concert, staff finds that the Principal Arterial street section is in excess of what Fayetteville needs at this location in the long-term. In the context of the applicant's proposal, recognizing this downgrade reduces the current required right-of-way dedication of 43.5 feet from street centerline to 33.5 feet. This reduces the percent of the lot dedicated from 36.3% to 20.3%. DISCUSSION: At the August 12, 2019 Planning Commission meeting, the request was forwarded to the City Council as a part of the consent agenda with a recommendation of approval and a vote of 8-0-0. No public comment was made.

North Street / APN 765-11852-000 Mr. Garner: Please consider this parcel for a sub -division. The parent tract is zoned NC, Neighborhood Conservation and contains 8,120 square feet. Resultant Tracts A and B would contain approximately 4,505 and 5,992 square feet respectively. Both lots meet minimum requirements for street frontage and water and sewer service. We propose a right-of-way dedication of 25' from centerline of Waneetah Avenue in accordance with the Master Street Plan, and dedication of 33' from centerline of North Street, where the Master Street plan requires 43 %'. We understand that this would require approval of an amendment to the Master Street Plan. Regards, Quin Thompson Mary S.
