20:50 – 21:06Speaker 1

reading. Members of city board, we've had three readings. We also have just one comment on item number 15. We'll allow uh Anthony Brown to uh share. How you doing, ma'am?

21:04 – 21:46Speaker 1

Doing well. How are you doing today, Mr. Brown? All right. I'm here for 29 24 West 12 Street. My mom house. Uh we already started work on it. The foundation has been uh uh um the peers have been uh installed. A couple of walls have been replaced already. I got some pictures in the timeline. I just need 90 days to 6 months to be through. If you don't feel comfortable with the six months, let's do 90 days. Bring me back in here. I have it framed up and we take it off the list all together. But it's a timeline and pictures for the house.

21:42 – 23:05Speaker 1

Just give us once a a few seconds to confer particular with the ward member as well as uh director Howard. You have any comments? I'm sure the ward member may want to hear your your perspective. I'll let John come up in a minute, but uh information background on this property has been sitting for several years. I think I had a conversation with uh Director Miller about this property once before had a tree that was down in the back portion of that property. Currently, there's no permit on this property that's been pulled. And I know a tree had fell on it and it sat there for several years. And this property has been disarrayed for um for a long period of time. And I've had several residents question about this property is why it has not been demolished. So I want to bring it to the board tonight, give you all opportunity to review it. Um a lot of residents in the area have complained about this property for several years. And uh John, do you want to add anything to it, sir? John is our code enforcement manager. He's responsible demolition so he can give a little bit more background.

23:07 – 23:44Speaker 1

Good evening board. As you heard director Howard say the property is in a severe state of derelch right now. The roof is caving in. Uh the yard is currently not cut as of today. We went by and took pictures today. Mr. John, if you'll speak into the microphone, please. The grass is currently not cut as of today. We went by and took pictures today. and the properties at a risk of falling and causing um damage to nearby properties is a severe nuisance in the neighborhood. So, at this point, we chose to to deliver it to you guys so that y'all can vote to have it declared a nuisance in the neighborhood. Director Miller, any any thoughts or comments?

23:42 – 24:24Speaker 1

Let me ask a question. Um these pictures that were given to us, Brown, you brought us these pictures. When did she take them? She took them a couple of weeks ago. Uh the property is air property so it's eight of us. So it took a while. We had several deaths in the family last couple of months and I got all the legality out of the way where it's solely mines now and I can go ahead and proceed. We had a permit on the permit expired and the city has it where we couldn't renew the permit and the grass has been cut.

24:20 – 25:04Speaker 1

Yeah. I may may I appreciate chance comment because again I've been getting phone calls about this and I did visit with director Howard that also brought this to my attention. Uh it's in pretty bad shape. You said your daughter took these pictures a couple of weeks ago about a week and a half ago. Week and a half ago. And this third picture is that's the condition of the roof too at this point. Yeah. But see, you had the the two walls we replaced in the back had to be replaced before we can cut the roof off. So, it had to be stabilized. I just need 90 days. Let's just revisit this in 90 days. Well, I you know, I've had

25:03 – 25:40Speaker 1

I'm not asking for a lot. Yes. I've had enough uh neighbors complain about this. Unfortunately, I mean, it's been in this state for years. I'm not supporting this. I'm going to support the staff on this one. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Mr. Brown. Uh members of the board, uh we've heard from uh the one applicant on item 15. All the three readings have been on the group items. All those in favor, please say I. I. All those oppos say nay.

25:37 – 26:13Speaker 1

Mayor, my nay is on number eight and number 15. Sure. But I did already take the vote. Just Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's fine. But you still want to ask. Well, you can still ask the question. Yeah. Mr. Brown, I uh I just wanted to make sure I understood what you handed us this timeline. Um it says that the foundation is completed already. Yeah. New pre already. The city uh Mr. Jackson have pictures of them.

26:10 – 26:53Speaker 1

Okay. But you You had to put new piers cuz when the house was built, it wouldn't it wouldn't pass inspection the way it was. So, we had to go up under there and put new peers up under the house in order to put the two new walls that we put up up. So, when we do have inspection, it'll be it'll be able to pass uh framing inspection. Okay. I understand that. Um, and when did you do that? I'm sorry. The period has been done a couple of months. Okay. I had a permit on it and the permit expired and the city had it where I couldn't renew the permit. And are you a contractor? Yes.

26:51 – 27:30Speaker 1

Okay. And that's your license number on this? Yes, sir. And the permit was up under my business name. What's your business name? Anthony Brown Construction. Okay. 34 years. Okay. I appreciate that clarification. Thank you, mayor. Thank you. Madam clerk, if you would please read, mayor, we have emergency clauses. Emergency clauses. All those in favor, please say I. Those oppos say nay. Eyes have it. Madam clerk, if you would please read item number 18. M.

27:28 – 28:13Speaker 1

So, Mr. Brown, what's just happened is they voted to approve the staff's recommendation to demolish uh that building due to the reasons that U. Um, director Howard shared and residents complaints over the last several years. There's people next door complaining. It's okay. And the tree in the backyard was from the next door property and they pushed it over on my property. The city knew it. I'm not familiar with that, but uh, Mr. Howard, if you don't mind, if that's if that's any new information to you, please get that from Mr. Brown after the meeting. All right. Thank you. If you can talk to Mr. John and Mr. Howard, Mr. Brown. Y'all will get his number, please.

28:10 – 28:50Speaker 1

All right. They'll take care of Mr. Brown. All right. Madam clerk, if you would please read item number 18 for the first time. An ordinance to approve a plan zoning development and to establish a plan development commercial titled Pirani PDC located at 12223 Colonel Glenn Road, City of Little Rock, Arkansas, amending the official zoning map of the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, and for other purposes, first reading. There's a motion. Is there a second? Second. All those in favor, please say I.

28:48 – 29:12Speaker 1

Those post say nay. Eyes have the second reading. An ordinance to approve a plan zoning development to establish a plane development commercial titled Pirani PDC located at 12223 Colonel Glenn Road. Second reading. There's a motion. Is there a second? Second. All those in favor please say I. All post say nay. I have it. Third and final reading.

29:11 – 29:35Speaker 1

An ordinance to approve a plan zoning development to establish a plan development commercial titled Pirani PDC located at 12223 Colonel Glenn Road. Third and final reading. All right. Uh members of board, we've had three readings. We have three cards for from residents. Uh Mr. Akbar Pirani, if you'll please come to the podium and speak into the microphone.

29:40 – 30:23Speaker 1

Yes, sir. Yes. Please share why you're for this. Um it was uh initially it was as a residential but it's always been a store before over there. So when we were trying to change the business into something else uh we were asked to reszone and that's the reason we wanted to get this done. Any more uh you have time to share I understand that but you want to share why you for it? uh so that we can change the business from a grocery store to something else, you know, where it can be more be more profitable. All right. Thank you. Uh Mr. Tim Ders.

30:25 – 32:00Speaker 1

Thank you, Mayor Directors. My name is Tim Ders. I'm a consultant engineer with White Daters and Associates. Uh that we worked on the adjacent uh automobile dealerships for Riverside Motors. Uh the Subaru dealership is immediately to the south and east of this property. This property is not on City of Little Rock sewer. It's served by a septic tank and absorption field. Uh during wet weather when the business is occupied, which has not been a whole lot over the last few years. Uh sewer overflows do exist through the backyard and they flow into the Subaru parking lot. We put an inlet immediately downstream of this so that the sewage would not flow across the parking lots. Uh our difficulty with this is the fact that part of the plan development did not require the applicant to connect to the city sewer which is within within 300 ft. The state board of health requires uh connections to city sewers when they're within 300 ft. So if they have to make any modifications or to the existing septic tank system or sew or septic tank and absorption field, those would have to be approved by the state and in all likelihood the state would require them to connect to the sewer. But we did think that that should have been a comment from Little Rock Wastewater utility water reclamation that before this is converted to an establishment which is not a grocery store but which serves food that it should be connected to the city sewer. We just don't want this to become a future nuisance where we're here complaining about sewage flowing across the ground into the adjacent developer.

31:59Speaker 1

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Jesse Mud.

32:05 – 32:49Speaker 1

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Directors, um I want to echo Mr. Dator's concerns. Um we have the property to the um uh e east and south of that. Uh we have experienced sewage overflow when it was operated heavily as a as a uh it served food before and had um multitude of customers in there. It's been vacant for a while. So there's no problem with that now. Um but we are concerned that once um they open a pool hall and serving alcohol and there's a a lot of restroom usage, we're going to experience the same sewage overflow across our property. We would ask that you please defer that until it have time to remedy that sewage situation and connect it to the city sewer. Mr. Bronnie.

32:48 – 33:32Speaker 1

Yes, sir. Do you have any comment? I never knew about this before we uh before today to be honest with you. So I didn't know that when these things were going on after that we brought the property and we had never had any issues since 2023 since when we brought the property. But uh so I was not familiar with this until today. All right, Director Hines. Yes. Thank uh Can I get planning staff? I have a couple questions. Brad, there's there's currently a uh there's currently a smoke shop operating in the establishment. Is there a smoke shop in this?

33:30 – 34:12Speaker 1

No, it's a grocery store. When I drove by there, it looked like it was a smoke shop. The gas pumps outside have got Well, the gas pumps has always been right in operated. But what I'm Brad, where I'm going is it's a non-conforming use, correct? Yes, sir. It is. Okay. So, that property sat vacant for well over a year before the grocery store use was put in there. Correct. Yes, sir. So, we already have an issue that we allowed a business to go into a non-conforming use on top of the issue with it not being connected to city sewer and complaints from the neighboring properties that they've had sewer overflows in the past.

34:10 – 34:55Speaker 1

I I'm not going to be supportive of allowing a pool hall with food that's going to put even more stress unless the unless they agree that they're going to hook on to city sewer. So, I don't know if this needs to go back to planning commission. We just need to vote it down. He needs to come back with a new plan. But that's my concerns with the property. We I've already had a discussion with water reclamation that a change in use of this magnitude where it's not hooked onto the city sewer is very different than a residential property that's not uh considering the previous history. So they will take a more critical eye before they sign off on something in the future. But we also got an issue where this sat as a non-conforming use for over a year which basically loses its non-conforming use. Correct. Yes.

34:53 – 35:38Speaker 1

Okay. And then we allowed a business to go back in there. So we, you know, I think we need to tighten up our regulation as well. But I'm not going to be supportive application unless it's hooked on city sewer. Any more questions for board members before we take this vote? All right. Director Phillips, then director Miller. And and this is uh for the the applicant. I just want to make sure I understand some facts and make sure you understand what was just discussed. Certainly. Number one, when did you take ownership of the property? 2023. Okay. And and if I heard you correctly, in the last three years, you hadn't had any issues that they were talking about. You didn't you weren't aware of those?

35:37 – 36:21Speaker 1

I didn't even know about it. Yeah. U now that you're aware, are you agreeable to try to do what Director Hines said and Director Phil, it can't be asked like that. If you suggest to him that by agreeing to that he gets the thing passed, then I would I wasn't going there. I was just trying to make sure you understood, but I'll defer to the city. At this point, he's got to request that the application be amended to require the sewer connection. Mhm. Um, but in in all honesty, in light of the issues that Mr. that director Hines picked up, it really seems better just to send this back to the planning commission.

36:20 – 37:05Speaker 1

And that's where I was going to make sure that he understood cuz I agree with Director Hines that this is an issue we got not allowed to impact the other property owners. I just wanted to make sure you understood what was being said. Okay, that's all I had. Thank you, city attorney. Thank you, Mayor. Mr. Ron, would you like to defer? Uh, sure. All right. Thank you. We'll defer this members of the board. Okay. Thank you. Deferral mayor point of order for for a set period of time. Um, the deferral is not the same thing. Correct. If you want the planning commission to look at it, you're going to need to pass a motion to return it to the planning commission.

37:02 – 37:39Speaker 1

Find that out of the We will have you defer it to the planning commission. Okay. He he can't do it. All right. There's a motion. It does. Whoever wants to do it. I mean trying to get you there. All right. Second. All those f please say I. I. Post your name. I have it. It's deferred to go back to planet commission. All right. We'll have one uh citizens communication.

37:37 – 38:39Speaker 1

Uh Johnson. It doesn't say her first name. Miss Johnson. Good day, mayor and board members. Uh my question is um what are the plans for the summer for the youth in the in this community? I know you all have imposed the curfew for the youth and I'm just trying to see what what else is in plan on deck. I know you all have the summer programs and what are your um emphasis or what are your I don't know what the word I'm looking for. What are your plans for teenagers between 12 and 18 per se? Yeah, I know you have your jobs programs and and do you have any public private relationships with the community, with the churches and all that good stuff? That's my concern.

38:38 – 39:19Speaker 1

Thank you for sharing your concern. We we'll get uh Director Michael Sanders to send you a list of all the things we got programmed for this summer. We'll get him to email that to if you'll just leave. Okay, that's fine. But how would the parents get that information? It'll be sent to parents as well. We'll get we'll just get you if you'll get your email to um so it's online. A lot of it's online already, but we'll still get it to you. Uh if it's online, I've been online. It it's online, but we can get it to you as well. Okay. All right. You want to get your email address to Miss Quina so we can get that? You got it? I All right. Thank you. Thank you.

39:16Speaker 1

All right. Uh, Director Compers, before we go into recess,

39:23 – 40:41Speaker 1

thank you, Mr. Mayor. There are three things I'd like you and the city manager uh to consider for discussion. One, I think that we're in a drought right now and I think we need to have the people that supply water to this community come talk to us and about ancillary plans. I heard a thing yesterday that in the next 6 weeks to break the drought, we'd have to have 26 inches of rain. So, I think it's imperative as we go into the summer and hot weather that we have people when we talk about that. Secondly, I'd like the police chief to come and talk to us about anything that we can do uh for public safety since we're constantly in a bidding war for policemen uh with other things that we could use and do. And then the third thing, we just passed uh a resolution to for JTS financial services. Uh and I'd like them to come start talking to us about insurance and what we can do and what we can look forward for the fall.
