CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: VAC 20-7136: Vacation (NORTH OF 310 S. WILLOW AVE./NWA CUSTOM
HOMES, 524): Submitted by ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. for property
located NORTH OF 310 S. WILLOW AVE. The property is zoned DG,
DOWNTOWN GENERAL & NC, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION and
contains approximately 0.08 acres. The request is to vacate a portion of a street
right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of VAC 20-7136, though differ in opinion
as far as the amount of right-of-way to remain. Staff recommends the vacation align with the
Master Street Plan maximum for a Neighborhood Link Street of 33.5 feet from centerline, and
Planning Commission recommends the minimum of 27.5 feet from centerline as shown in the
attached Exhibits 'A' and 'B' and with the following conditions of approval:
1. Any damage or relocation of existing utilities or facilities will be at the applicant's expense.
2. SWEPCO requests a 20' general utility easement from middle phase to the south running
the length of the property.
Condition #2 was not originally listed as a condition of approval before Planning Commission, but
staff finds that it should be included given the presence of the existing overhead power lines along
E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property includes approximately 0.08 acres of existing City of Fayetteville right-of-
way on the south side of E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at the corner of S. Willow Avenue.
The land was dedicated as right-of-way in 1944.
Request: The applicant proposes to vacate a portion of the existing Right -of -Way which is
currently exceeding the Master Street Plan (MSP) requirement for Neighborhood Link Streets.
The Neighborhood Link Street classification has a minimum right-of-way of 55 feet, or 27.5 feet
from centerline, and a maximum right-of-way of 67 feet, or 33.5 feet from centerline. The applicant
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
is proposing to vacate the existing right-of-way to the minimum dimensional requirement of 27.5
feet from centerline in order to line up a proposed sidewalk to the adjacent property to the east.
DISCUSSION:
On July 13, 2020, the Planning Commission unanimously forwarded the requested right-of-way
vacation, recommending the applicant's preferred dimension of 27.5 feet from centerline, or the
minimum allowable dimension according to the MSP for the Neighborhood Link Street
designation. The motion was made by Commissioner Winston, with a second from Commissioner
Belden, with a final vote of 9-0-0. The Commission's discussion centered around the possibility
of a three -lane road at this location, generally inconsistent right-of-way dedication along this
portion of E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and an expressed desire for the right-of-way to
align with the adjacent property to the east.
Staff does note that right-of-way dedication is typically brought into compliance with the MSP to
the maximum requirements when development occurs on -site. Lesser dedication may be
recommended in the event of an undue hardship or practical difficulties. Staff recognizes the
desire for continuity with the existing sidewalk and right-of-way to the east, but believes that a
right-of-way dedication to the minimum standards is not warranted, especially since the rest of
the street does not yet have existing sidewalk. Staff finds that the applicant should vacate the
right-of-way to align with the maximum MSP requirement, since this would still allow the developer
to construct a sidewalk that aligns with the property to the east, but does not prohibit any future
greater street improvements the city would desire to make in the long-term future. The typical
Neighborhood Link Street section includes 8-foot sidewalk, 10-foot greenspace, and a 10-foot
parking lane, which were given careful consideration with the development of the typical street
section to provide for pedestrian comfort and cyclist safety; should the additional vacation be
permitted, this could have negative implications for active transportation and the inherent traffic
calming of on -street parking in a neighborhood which is seeing an increasing amount of infill
development.
Additionally, $1 million in the bond program has been allocated for pedestrian improvements in
the area. While actual projects have not yet been identified, there is potential for a City project
that would construct sidewalk along this street frontage, and staff does not find that it would be
advisable to give up right-of-way that allows for future infrastructure upgrades.

DISCUSSION:
Vacation Approval: Staff is in support of the right-of-way vacation, since it will bring the street into
compliance and continuity with the Master Street Plan (MSP). However, right-of-way dedication
is typically brought into compliance with the MSP to the maximum requirements. Lesser
dedication may be recommended in the event of an undue hardship or practical difficulties. Staff
recognizes the desire for continuity with the existing sidewalk to the east, but believes that a right-
of-way dedication to the minimum standards is not warranted, especially since the rest of the
street does not yet have existing sidewalk. Staff finds that the applicant should vacate the right-
of-way to align with the maximum MSP requirement, since this would still allow the developer to
construct a sidewalk that aligns with the property to the east, but does not prohibit any future
greater street improvements the city would desire to make in the long-term future. The typical
Neighborhood Link Street section includes 8-foot sidewalk, 10-foot greenspace, and a 10-foot
parking lane, which were given careful consideration with the development of the typical street
section to provide for pedestrian comfort and cyclist safety; should the additional vacation be
permitted, this could have negative implications for a neighborhood which is seeing an increasing
amount of infill development.
The applicant has submitted the required vacation forms to the relevant City departments and
franchise utility companies with the following responses:
Utilit Response
Cox Communications No objections and no comment.
AEP/SWEPCO No objections, but commented that to
achieve 15' radial clearance, SWEPCO

RE: ROW Vacation
E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
City Council and Planning Commission Members.
On behalf of our client, NWA Custom Homes, LLC, we hereby request vacation of a portion of
the existing street right-of-way along the south side of E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The
3,203 square feet of right-of-way to be vacated is approximately 19.5 feet deep and 167 feet
long and is illustrated in detail on the exhibits included with the application.
During previous correspondence with planning department staff and one of the City's land
agents during review of the lot split, it was determined the large vacant area between the street
and these lots was dedicated as right-of-way at some point. However, the current right-of-way
is well in excess of the minimum and maximum right-of-way for this street classification and
also appears to exceed the practical needs of the City for this area. If the requested vacation is
approved, it will allow for construction of a sidewalk along the south side of MLK which is in line
with the existing sidewalk to the east when applicant builds on these lots and allow applicant to
own, enjoy, and (of benefit to the City) maintain the area between the street and applicant's
property.
The requested vacation will not impact any existing street or sidewalk improvements or any
known plans to install such improvements.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,

Hello planning staff, planning commission. and city council:
I am a nearby neighbor and I support this vacation request. I live 4 -5 blocks away at 312
South Block. Downtown properties are so small and often on steep terrain that excessive
rights -of -way make things really difficult for folks to move to our neighborhood. I have lived
in SoFay over 25 years. I appreciate folks willing to invest in this incredible neighborhood.
Thanks for your time.
Best,
Alan Ostner,ASLA,FLA
