Jorge Barragan of CI Engineering, the project surveyor, and project representatives described three variance requests: limiting the number of customer entrances to a primary door (consistent with other convenience-store prototypes), altering typical parking orientation with compensating landscaping, and locating landscaping in different areas than the standard plan. Staff said standard comments had been provided and the applicant agreed to them.

Commissioners asked whether landscaping would meet required totals even if located in different places; the applicant said the same amount of landscaping would be provided but placed differently on site. Staff noted an existing sidewalk on Cass Drive met standards but that Butterfield Coach would require a 10-foot sidewalk under the master street plan; the applicant agreed to discuss a payment in lieu of improvements and confirmed the client would accept a fee-in-lieu.

The commission approved the replat and variances unanimously and forwarded the waiver to city council with a recommendation to accept payment in lieu. Staff will prepare the ordinance for council; the replat will be placed on the council agenda with required submittal timing noted to the applicant.","The commission approved a replat and multiple variances for a convenience-store development at Butterfield Coach Road, accepted landscaped mitigation in different locations and forwarded a waiver to council recommending payment-in-lieu for street improvements.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6277267,"Commission hears resident’s shed variance request, encourages applicant to work with staff; request tabled",543,2553000,3096000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2656349-339ce26cc47d830800bec71afce978a4&start=2553&end=3096","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2656349-339ce26cc47d830800bec71afce978a4/thumbnail_2553000.jpg","/articles/6277267/Springdale-City/Washington-County/Arkansas/Commission-hears-residents-shed-variance-request-encourages-applicant-to-work-with-staff-request-tabled","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277267-2f173eeb7c3ef5e7ad27be24e5f324d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642318&Signature=nQOnItwOzVKd7ZtPcGlaRxuqaVBsaPGCAMtxs5bYnQbOCPRwPrIiPS-THeOywXRQzW6PYBe7kakhe~ZugPjWTVoX2mk6uSrESXxsfPbJrkN2tUgh7E2N7cTK9gpHW0aGN~rOJulETiJvIUuqpdcLBHwVjL9SFmrq9cN2Ts0hZnDYvhcXUuSZlVCoE7h9dpgeOGrHu9ilqSxaJQBoEYxqsEl~9DO0Xn8OxIjUPUSKqGtY47xOlafaHQ1kGIuZTXs5OMDriwhkLEYIN6BUx8UTG6Jvdsgmc0OuSH10o4wE5aSv39IpNGk8EqMa3Gyjq3KRnIDnZKTO9RU6oC-shseG5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission on March 11 heard a request from Isaiah Desmond for variances reducing a rear setback from 20 feet to 5 feet and side setbacks from eight feet to five feet for a 12-by-16 shed. After discussion, the commission and staff encouraged the applicant to work with planning and engineering to identify alternatives; the applicant agreed and the request was tabled.

Desmond said the rear corner proposed for the shed \"generally accumulates quite a bit of water\" and that tree stumps and low-lying ground made the current 20-foot setback impractical. He described a 12-by-16 shed and said he planned a gravel base with skids and stick framing. Planning staff and the fire department raised concerns about combustible construction close to property lines and the cumulative effect of multiple sheds near the fence line.

The fire department stated it would oppose variances that reduce separation between structures and asked whether the applicant could meet the eight-foot side setback. Commissioners noted portable structures larger than 120 square feet cannot be on skids and must be on a slab; staff clarified that a 12-by-16 structure would require a concrete slab.

Several commissioners recommended tabling the request so staff could visit the site and work with the applicant on drainage, foundation options and whether the shed could be relocated to meet setback requirements. The applicant agreed to a site visit and to work with staff. The commission did not adopt revised setback relief at the meeting; the item will return if the applicant pursues a revised variance application.","A request to reduce rear and side setbacks for a 12-by-16 backyard shed was discussed at length and tabled so the applicant can work with staff to explore alternatives and drainage/foundation needs; the fire department opposed setback reductions.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6277272,"Commission tables revision to Mill Creek nursing facility plans after staff and commissioner review concerns",1508,3249000,4757000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2656349-339ce26cc47d830800bec71afce978a4&start=3249&end=4757","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2656349-339ce26cc47d830800bec71afce978a4/thumbnail_3249000.jpg","/articles/6277272/Springdale-City/Washington-County/Arkansas/Commission-tables-revision-to-Mill-Creek-nursing-facility-plans-after-staff-and-commissioner-review-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277272-a07e865559d91a09b135ca7147a88784/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642318&Signature=EvRq7s4eqky1Efr6TYrvcEv~iuGtz2HAoLkel6e-HwMosmHu8jlZxtvU057PHcfS3J9xMmpjq49GXhWrCboYSsrOR9d3J5ZbQoYZrmjqDKFN5CZb~V4uyJMkPJu2HYjGnXHAmGuzk8oT66ev-Qzg0Qc8cJz~FK2EGMNboxVSt0VITxhECbcxsxkTjNQkJ7xD9EOMdJvx17n7Oe9W78rBX5owi1JJhMLRyM-haxqOMNjEKiJ0jBurv-G1RZmykeRNo~XQCvq1LO~2JdL2JJtQHYrn0h0m9ZVL5AxzrDH5KPsN4r8GMKCegP1SR6YUnRxj5AwS488Y7V86PaeoEnYjiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Springdale Planning Commission on March 11 tabled a request to reapprove revised plans for Mill Creek Nursing Facility so staff can complete a full review of recent submittals and confirm the project being built matches materials on file.

Jason Apple of ESI explained the submittal was a revision to a previously approved large-scale plan; he said the building as constructed had been \"flipped\" in orientation and that the revision included a small maintenance building and updated architectural elevations. Contractor Rick Mooney told commissioners the project had briefly received a stop-work order and that construction crews were actively working; he said the owners had invested substantially in the facility.

Several commissioners and planning staff said they had received different versions of the plans and that the changes appeared significant enough to warrant bringing the item back to the commission after staff completes a detailed review. Commissioners expressed concern that work on exterior site elements already underway could make it difficult to reconcile what had been approved and what was being built.

Commissioners agreed to allow the contractor to continue interior work while staff checks the most recent submittal package and prepares consolidated comments. The commission asked the applicant to provide a clear list of changes, updated landscaping and lighting plans, material and color schedules, and corrected square-footage figures. The item was tabled and will return to the Planning Commission in approximately 30 days for further review and a vote.

Planning staff and the applicant agreed to coordinate a quick review of submitted documents; staff will prepare a consolidated comment list and a schedule for bringing the revision back to the commission.","A proposed revision to an approved large-scale plan for the Mill Creek nursing facility was tabled so staff can fully review recent resubmittals and the applicant can coordinate outstanding items; commissioners agreed the contractor may continue interior work while site details are resolved.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6277277,"Planning commission approves variances, forwards sidewalk waiver for proposed vehicle maintenance shop",552,558000,1110000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2656349-339ce26cc47d830800bec71afce978a4&start=558&end=1110","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2656349-339ce26cc47d830800bec71afce978a4/thumbnail_558000.jpg","/articles/6277277/Springdale-City/Washington-County/Arkansas/Planning-commission-approves-variances-forwards-sidewalk-waiver-for-proposed-vehicle-maintenance-shop","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277277-3c16902bcf3afe7f5e8d2f850374a90f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642318&Signature=Hip8xe89RuRAUEzDGmxusrj6J4GFr5jXSEBgxATJLfqqhkOp-F0HikP8vyQ20RVGYvz0sNsuAgGEvkY2Zq-MZedayHWh~SnoOb3CW5jhXrJ6vYJOejKj00fnYJp32VI43GhFUlV6Vsx~W7EZ-1h3JOeGvzI4xnRjoSetj5RvvzLo9Y555Ye1jafgadZQj8YueV95gPiQw5s1l5kApkxe2v7~M2~xf3QjOBEJC4SEfQdFdx-3hmcABxMcZo9PKLmI6tKnaLMsGL2sS-zcZssGQjsC2zvOjTdvqgy5L348s8jf1h6TxB8z6PQw8KHprqrJjlOmJsLCMlnmyBXw7ehl0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Springdale Planning Commission on March 11 approved a set of variances and a large-scale plan for a proposed 5,000-square-foot vehicle maintenance shop and voted to forward a sidewalk waiver to city council recommending a fee in lieu of on-site sidewalk construction.

Patrick Foy, representing Half Associates, said the project \"is a 5,000 square foot, vehicle maintenance shop. It sits on about 4 acres.\" Foy told commissioners the building would be set behind an eight-foot privacy fence and that the applicant was seeking several design variances and a sidewalk waiver because the use would have limited public foot traffic.

Planning staff told the commission the drive apron off North Thompson must be concrete to the right of way and that an RDOT permit was required. Staff also said a 10-foot sidewalk is required on Thompson unless a waiver is granted. Planning staff referenced Springdale's commercial design standards and Chapter 56 landscaping requirements when explaining which standards the applicant had requested relief from.

Commissioners agreed to several conditions discussed during the meeting. The commission approved the variance package with a two-year bill of assurance to revisit frontage and 72 Highway frontage improvements when adjacent parcels develop. The commission then voted to forward the sidewalk waiver to city council with a recommendation for a payment in lieu. Finally, the commission approved the large-scale plan \"subject to staff comments.\" The votes on those items were unanimous.

Commissioners discussed which internal requirements could be deferred until the east half of the parcel develops, with the applicant saying they were willing to revisit frontage landscaping and pedestrian connections later. Commissioner Jennifer Keith led the final vote on the variances and noted the two-year bill of assurance as part of the approval.

The waiver will go to the City Council for final action; the commission's recommendation asks council to accept a fee in lieu rather than require immediate sidewalk construction along the highway frontage. Staff will provide language and timing details for the bill of assurance and the fee-in-lieu agreement.

The applicant and planning staff were directed to coordinate on the exact wording and timing of the bill of assurance before the item goes to council.","The Springdale Planning Commission approved variances and a large-scale plan for a proposed 5,000-square-foot vehicle maintenance shop on roughly 4 acres, with conditions including a two‑year bill of assurance; the commission voted to forward a sidewalk waiver to city council recommending a payment-in-lieu.","actionData","errors"]
