Vicinity map. Site map. Neighbor map. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a small scale dog boarding and training facility which will bring the subject property into compliance. The subject property is 15.88 acres with the project occupying approximately .73 acres. Operating hours are Monday through Saturday by appointment only with the applicant being the sole employee and trainer. The project site consists of an insulated 12 by 24 portable structure capable of accommodating six to eight dogs. The structure is equipped only with electricity and no new services are proposed. Water is provided by two hydrants connected to a private well. No indoor plumbing or restrooms exist inside the facility, so the owner utilizes the existing residents on the property for restroom access. A 900 square foot grass parking area located near the entrance can accommodate up to two vehicles and a non-illuminated 2x3 sign exists on the front gate. Long Pine Canine is a woman-owned professional dog training and boarding facility dedicated to helping pets and owners build strong relationships through balanced training. The business utilizes individualized methods based on timing, consistency, and motivation for all breeds and ages. The facility provides specialized training options including two, four, and six-week board and train programs alongside overnight boarding services. Long Pine Canine also offers interactive on-site private lessons and in-home training. To date, planning staff has received one comment in opposition to the project, citing too much traffic on a private road. The project is located on the north side of West Cindy Hollow Lane, with access provided by a driveway immediately off the intersection with North Starnes Road. According to the County Road Department, West Cindy Hollow Lane is classified as a private road and is not maintained as part of the county's regular road maintenance program. North Stearns Road is classified as a residential drive, which is not included on a routine maintenance schedule but is graded upon request. Planning conditions.

Okay, thank you. Any questions of staff on staff report? Okay, is the applicant or applicant's representative here? Hi. If you would come to the microphone, punch the button, turn on the red light, give us your name and address for the record, and tell us anything you want to tell us about the project.

Hi. My name's Annika Boehm. I am the owner of Long Pine Canine, and I live at 6328 West City Holloway at Fayetteville, Arkansas. I'm a certified professional dog trainer. I have operated my dog training and boarding facility for the past two years. At Long Pine Canine, I have the capacity to board six to eight dogs at the time. My business runs by appointment only, so I do not have regular public traffic or unannounced visitors coming to the property. Clients are scheduled during normal business hours between 9 AM and 5 PM. In 2025, I average 0.5 clients per day, which reflects the small scale of my business. At Long Pine Cannon, I offer boarding, private training lessons, a junior handlers program lessons, and a board and train program. The goal of my business is to be a more personalized alternative to a more traditional boarding facility. Because I work with a limited number of dogs, I am able to give each one individual attention and get to know both my clients and their dogs. I take pride in keeping my property clean, caring for the dogs responsibly, and operating in a way that is considerate to those around me. To date, I have not received any complaints personally regarding the operation of my business. I'm requesting approval of this conditional use permit to bring my existing business into compliance with county zoning requirements. Thank you for your time.

Thank you. I appreciate it. You want to say something? Yeah. Go ahead.

I am Cindy Boehm and I live at 6328 West Cindy Hall Lane, Fayetteville. My husband Andrew and I own our 16 acre property there. We are here tonight to fully support the conditional use permit for long pine canine. Our property consists of acreage featuring woods, pasture, and our primary residence and a workshop. It offers the perfect balance, a quiet rural setting that remains conveniently close to Fayetteville's amenities. Annika, the owner of Long Pine Canine, rents a dedicated portion of our land. Her training and boarding operation is nestled into a quiet grassy nook of our property, naturally screened by trees on three sides. Her kennel building is just 12 by 24. The business is an ideal fit for our land and the surrounding agricultural community. We operate a working farm with cattle, rabbits, chickens, and sheep, and the dogs at Long Pine Canine are securely managed and quietly entertained by washing our livestock. Furthermore, Long Pine Canine is highly compatible with our neighborhood. There are already at least five other small businesses operating within just a one-mile radius of us. Long Pine Canine brings valuable, high-demand service to our area without placing any burden on the infrastructure, traffic, or the land itself. Long Pine Canine is a quaint little facility. There's no plumbing, the water's from a well, and she has customers by appointment only. Annika has built a thriving, completely debt-free business through sheer hard work and professionalism. She's an exceptional tenant for us and a responsible business owner. We have nothing but praise for Long Pine Canine. And we ask that you approve this conditional use permit to allow this business to continue serving our community. Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate it. Any questions? Any questions of the applicant from board members? OK. Seeing none, thank you. I'll open it up to public comment, if anybody would like to make public comment on this item. If you would, please state your name and address for the record, sir, and give us your opinion.

Kevin Carpenter, my address also you said? Yes, sir, please. Yes, 2949 West Feather Rock Way right here in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I've known Annika for roughly six years. We have taken advantage of her business opportunity with our two dogs. We are part of that .5 per day that attend out there probably. The dozen times we've been out there, we've been the only ones there at the time. Traffic is not an issue here at all. I can't remember a time we've met another vehicle coming from her place as we're going there or the opposite direction. She is giving a very necessary service to those of us who are dog owners. She is extending her knowledge by encouraging our young people and others who want to to become dog handlers and dog trainers, giving one more means of utilizing one's passion throughout their life. She is a responsible entrepreneur. She is doing everything that we would expect a resident of Fayetteville to do in that regard. Personally speaking, as quite frankly, Sunday school teacher for the last number of years, I have nothing but the highest respect and highest regard for the way Annika runs her business and her personal life. And I fully support your granting her this conditional use permit. So thank you for your time.

Thank you, sir. Appreciate you coming and sharing. Is there anybody else like to make public comment on this item?

And I believe from our conversation, the ladies are also related. So it's a family business. OK. Thank you.

So my name's Dylan Phillips. I'm 18-20. So I'm her neighbor next to the property. She comes out with the dogs. The dogs are well-trained, never felt threatened. She keeps the dogs in a place I've never seen a dog get out. That whole street and community, 99% of it is community. We talk. When she's going through there, I'll stop and talk to her. It's just a nice, quiet, unagitated community. area. And I've been there eight years. Never once has there been any complaints on her side that dogs getting out, dogs barking, keeping people up. I think it's probably one of the best ran businesses by a young lady that I've seen. So I just wanted to give a shout out to her that she definitely doesn't bother us, runs her business very professionally and successfully.

So that's it. Thank you, Mr. Phillips. Anybody else like to make public comment on this item? Okay, seeing none, I'll close it and bring it back to the board.

I'll make a motion to approve.

We have a motion for approval as presented. The one thing I guess I didn't ask is the applicant seen the conditions of approval from staff and have any issues with those? No, okay. All right, we have a motion for approval as presented and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right, let's move on. The next one is Phillips Masonry Incorporated Conditional Use Permit. We'll start with the staff report.

Vicinity map, site map, neighbor map. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to use the subject property for construction equipment storage associated with the applicant's business, Phillips Masonry, and to bring the property into compliance. The subject property consists of three parcels totaling approximately 3.27 acres. Operating hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with 10 to 12 employees. The project site is used to store construction equipment and employee work vehicles only, with no commercial storefront or customer traffic. Employees come and go from the property to gather materials and park work vehicles. The project site has to 3200 square foot shop buildings equipped with water septic electric and natural gas gravel parking is available on site and can accommodate approximately 8 to 10 employee vehicles with additional parking provided within the shop buildings the property is fenced and gated for security and privacy and several outdoor security lights are installed throughout the site no signage exists or is proposed. To date, planning staff has received one public comment in opposition to the project, citing too much traffic on the private road. The project is located at the end of North Starnes Road, which is designated by the road department as a residential drive rather than a private road. However, the road is not on a regular maintenance schedule and is only graded upon citizen request. Planning conditions.

OK, thank you. Any questions of staff from board members? Yes.

Micah? This is for Dr. Atta. If the applicant were to follow ordinances, can you walk us through the process of how this would have or should have been approved? From a site development standpoint, was it subject to large scale or stormwater? before, I mean, obviously it's done, the horse is out of the barn, but can you walk us through that process?

Yes, if this was, if they were utilizing more than one acre, it would have been required to go through a large scale, but it's not. And they're not doing any construction, actually, they're just using this as a storage. So that's one thing.

But they should have. They should have what? Gone through this process, large scale.

No, it was never requested by the engineering department.

if they were making this application? No, it's not required.

Before the work's already done? No, the condition use permit is to grant them the use of the property for commercial use, anything other than agricultural use or residential. If the use of the land and the developed land is more than one acre, they're required to go through the large scale. They are not in this case, and the engineering department did not request them to go through the large scale.

When they did it originally?

There was no original. This is the first time they applied.

Correct, but if this was a brand new application, no buildings needed...

Even if they applied originally and they came to us, it's going to be the same process. If it's the developed land, not more than one acre, they're not going to be required to go through a large scale unless the engineering department requests this.

My question is then... if this was a brand new applicant, and none of this site was developed, walk me through that process.

Oh yeah, they need to come to us for a conditional use permit. You need to apply for a conditional use permit first. Conditional use permit require you to present a site plan that is not 100% accurate, but something that shows the use, and that's going to be gone through the first week you submit, the second week go through the technical review, During the technical review, we receive feedback from the in-house departments, like road department, health department, the planning, and also the engineering department, and then all the utilities involved in it, and if it's on a highway, Our DOT will be involved in it. All that feedback goes back to the applicant. They have a week. So the following third week, they will have to resubmit to us what was being asked for them. Based on that, if it moves forward, like, and they fulfill all the requirement, we notify the neighbor. I mean, like, we provide them with the information to notify the neighbor. And after that, the staff prepare the planning board staff report. We email it to you, and then the following week we meet here. And that's the fifth week of that cycle. Sure.

Yeah.

If this development was more than one acre, it would have gone through the large scale. If it was less than one acre and the engineering department required them to go through the large scale, they would have been required to go through large scale.

But they skipped this process entirely.

There is no process to be skipped because they are not required to do it. Their development is not larger than one acre.

Not every conditionally used permit. This site is not larger than an acre?

They developed like area. They did not do anything other than just like adding just like two warehouses basically and parking.

This site total is over three acres.

Yes, but it's not the whole thing is being used for the project. They used area as less than one acre.

I'm looking at a GIS map and it's over three acres total.

Oh, you're talking about the perimeter itself?

I'm talking about the whole site.

Yeah, we're not caring about the site. We're caring about what's being used in that site. This is not a subdivision that 100% of it being used. It's the same as the previous project. The previous project, they're using a portion of that 15 acres, not the whole thing.

So in 2018, this was a wooded hilltop.

Yes.

In 2020... Yes. the site was scraped, and it was redeveloped. But it followed no stormwater pollution.

They were not aware until one neighbor complained about traffic.

But if a brand new applicant was walking here today, they would have to follow the process.

It's the same thing. That's the process I just mentioned. And if it's required to go to a large scale, they would have applied for a large scale. But it was not required by the engineering department to go to a large scale. And that site that being developed is not larger than one scale.

Well, it was never required because they never made an application.

I don't think you understand the process, Michael.

I do.

No, definitely you don't. 100% you don't.

If they were starting fresh today. Yes, I understand.

If they were starting fresh today, they're still not using more than one acre of the land for the project, so it wouldn't go to large scale.

Unless the engineer wants it.

Just because the land total is over three acres, they're still only using a smaller amount than is required to go to large scale. Just like the previous applicant had 16 acres, but they were only using a small portion of that for the business, so it didn't have to go to large scale.

Does the site work itself not count as usable?

The developed land.

Yeah, they developed land.

Yeah. It's not the entire site.

The majority of the site has been modified. That's just like the gravel droplets.

That's gravel on ground, so it's not anything else. That's not like a site that's been developed, Micah. I mean, we can always make a motion. It's fine.

Well, we're not to that point now. Any other questions? of the staff from board. OK. Is the applicant an applicant's representative here?

Well, I think I could maybe address Mike's. If you would, again, state your name and address. Oh, Dylan Phillips, 1820 North Starnes.

Thank you, sir.

So Mr. Thompson, so the property, we didn't develop the property. All we did was clean it up. That actual property was a dump site. We hauled off and we took all the trash to Boston Mountain. The records are there, but there was probably 20 dump truck loads of anything from trailer houses, tires, Just regular trash. We cleaned that whole place up. The previous owner had allowed the county, actually, to dump waste, asphalt, concrete, all kinds of stuff. And all I did was clean that property up. And then we had a level area. We graveled it, built two shops there. And that's where we've been operating, keeping our equipment. material and stuff. I've been there eight years. For the past eight years, two to three times a year, I maintain Starnes Road. I've graveled it, graded it, compacted it. Anytime it rains a lot or gets potholes, then I take my equipment, my money, my time, and have maintained that road for eight years. I have other property owners here that can contest to that, that that I've maintained the road. We maintain a slow speed because we know that we have individuals living on the road. So I always get on my guys to go no more than 15 miles an hour down there. I personally drive 10 miles an hour just to try to not stir up any dust. We put good gravel base so that the road is nice and smooth and compacted. Like was said in the deal before, my guys show up, they load the trucks up, load over it with material, and then we're gone. Very rarely do they come back throughout the day to get something. It does happen some days more than others, but we don't have customers coming to purchase anything. We don't sell material. We don't sell anything out of the shop. It's basically the store. our equipment and for the guys to meet, they drop off their vehicles, get in the company vehicles and then go to the jobs.

Okay. All right, questions of the applicant from the board?

I did see on here two buildings and a septic tank and I'm assuming that that was health department approved?

Yes, oh yeah and so at the beginning, we did seven years ago, we actually met with the county judge and the prosecutor, me and Mr. Otterberry. Because we had got a complaint probably from the same individual that those single complaint that we've gotten to this point and we met with them asked if there was anything that we needed to that we did not do that we need to take care of and We said in their office and they told us that we were good. We got the septic permit No, we got our plumbing inspected we from the from the get-go we covered what we thought was all laws and procedures that were at the time being in the county. So we didn't ever try to throw something under the bus or try to do something until just this complaint. We had no idea that there was any issue.

Other questions of the applicant? OK. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Anybody in public like to make public comment on this item?

Yes, my name's Greg Andrews, and I live at 1668 North Double Springs Road. And I believe this gentleman lives just across the hall from us. You're the one that built those big, beautiful buildings over there on the side.

Sir, if you would address the board and not the advocate, please. Thank you.

But anyway, everything he said is true. I've seen this guy out there on his tractor, his roller, blading the road out there. and i don't even live on that road but i've seen him out there so and then from my view from my house from what i can see it looks great you know during the wintertime it's real it's opened up it's clean i'm impressed okay thank you sir i appreciate it is there anybody else that would like to make public comment on this item

Am I tall enough?

You can pull it down if you need to.

James Roberts, 807 Gale in Springdale, Arkansas. I have a piece of property, about 25 acres, just below Masonry. Phillips? Yeah, Phillips Masonry. And since they've been working up there, straightening things out up above, when we get a real rainstorm, a gully washer, it all comes down the hill and it has completely destroyed my driveway on the property, mine and the elderly lady next to me. I looked for, I'm not here to be contentious, I looked for some sort of an impact statement or something that would, I guess, stop the rain or at least slow it down from what's happening today.

Been there for about, I've had the property about 40 years.

And it's just completely different since they cleared off the top there and packed it up with gravel and that kind of stuff. And it sort of goes along with your next deal there. The green space coming up, I think they're side by side. And I don't know why. I don't know what to do. I don't know if they're aware of it. They should be or anything like that. I'm not trying to be mean to anybody. I just need to get that stopped.

Okay. All right. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. Is there anybody else that would like to make public comment on this item? Okay, seeing none, I'll close public comment and bring it back to the board.

Sam, on page 41 of the, sorry, I wasn't recognized, Lauren.

I'm sorry, Micah, go ahead.

On page 41 of the packet, there's a note given by staff, the impervious area, buildings and compacted gravel is 1.75 acres. The runoff from this site will be significantly more than the undisturbed property. Please describe where the stormwater flows. As it leaves the site, are there any residences or public infrastructure downstream? How do you plan to mitigate it? I know that that was addressed toward the applicant.

Yes, and if you keep reading further down, they resubmitted with the resolution was to add a perm to the northwest side of the property to reduce any drainage that goes that way. Mr. James' property is across the street, so I'm not sure if this runoff really crosses two properties and then the street and goes to his property. I'm pretty sure that should be maybe also addressed by the road department, but I don't think drainage from one side would be able to cross two properties and a street and goes to another property. That's just my opinion.

that there's no engineering or no requirements that would make that determination?

I mean, no. The engineers were satisfied with the perm. Mr. Phillips, he's doing construction. So if he is required to do something beyond that, we can always ask our engineers to review if he needs to do a detention wall or something like that. But I mean, it was not suggested, but we can always further that question beyond and ask.

yes yeah since you're the applicant we'll so uh i don't know if y'all know but starnes road used to go it looped around it there used to be a road there and it went from uh double springs to double springs uh right with the sir that just came i can't remember his name but it came and spoke so that road used to come down so the water does run in the path of where that road used to be. That's the lowest point. There's a utility, there's a main water line, electrical, that runs through there. And so we can't, we haven't done anything with that, and we can't do anything with that because... Utility easement. Yeah, there's a main utility there. I did kind of... put a small berm there, minimal, because I was actually afraid of crossing that utility because I am aware that the road down that ditch, it washes out any time it floods. But I was afraid to burn that up too much because where the water runs is right down where that road used to be. I'm more than willing to pile more dirt there and try to slow it down, but I was just afraid of getting in trouble of disturbing that utility. As a matter of fact, the Ozark Electric, they've got a key to my gate because that's utility through there, but I'd be more than willing to build a berm, and it would go halfway onto Mr. Otterberry's property, too.

I believe also like City of Federal Water Line also that goes throughout.

Yeah, I think it's like an 8-inch.

It's pretty big. Well, Sam, with the public comments on that... If we could ask the engineering department just to take a look at that and see if they have any additional recommendations. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

I would appreciate that. Yeah, we can always do that. Absolutely.

There wouldn't be no way to do a retention pond because you would have to excavate out, and then you would not have access to the water line that feeds.

Yeah, the engineering department will be aware of where the water line is and where that easement is. So we'll have them take a look and see if they have any additional recommendations for you.

All right, any other questions of board? So do you want to add like a recommendation that like,

Yeah, I would. Well, I'm not going to make the motion, but I would suggest we add the recommendation that the engineering department take a second look at stormwater runoff and see if any additional accommodations need to be made by the applicant. Can we do that all in a motion to approve?

Yes. Then I'll make that motion that we get with engineering and have them get with the applicant to see if there's any other accommodations that can be done. And with that, a motion to approve. I second that.

We got a motion and a second. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Opposed. All right, it passes. Let's move forward. Next item is green space creations, conditional use permit. We'll start with the staff report, please.

Vicinity map? Site map? Neighbor map. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to use the subject property for equipment and vehicle storage associated with the applicant's business, Green Space Creations, and to bring the subject property into compliance. The subject property is 3.27 acres, with the project occupying approximately .9 acres. Operating hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. with three employees. The project site is used to store hardscaping equipment, materials, and employee work vehicles only with no commercial storefront or customer traffic. The project site has a 40 by 60 shop building equipped with all utilities and a septic system. A gravel driveway leads to the shop and gravel parking sufficient for three employees is provided. Outdoor lighting exists on the building. The project is located at the end of North Starnes Road as well, but planning staff has not received any complaints regarding this project. Conditions.

Thank you. Any questions of staff and board members?

One.

Okay.

Micah. Page, it's the page with the survey, page 19. Does this septic line, do the septic lines encroach on the neighbor?

I believe, like, they do have, like, an easement that they work out an easement for them. Yeah, minimum.

Do you want to address this? Yes, I honestly don't know.

Because, like, the septic and, like, everything was approved by the health department. They never, like, they never had any comment.

Oh, yeah. All right, let's, is there any other question? We'll address that. My question was. Yes, okay, thank you. Any other questions about. staff from board members. OK, then we'll ask the applicant to please come forward, tell us a little bit about the project, and address that question that's been asked, please.

I'm Tyler Arterbury. I've been in business for 20 years. I live just three properties over from where our shop is. Like I said, been in business operating out of my home for close to 20 years with the goal of finding a piece of property that I could build a shop and get everything out of my house and my shop at home. Dylan and I found this property about eight years ago. I was slowly Able to get a shop built within the last couple of years and it finally got everything moved over there. I've got three employees. We keep the same hours that they do, 7 to 5, Monday through Friday. Minimal traffic. I keep one work truck at the shop that's parked inside the shop. Three trailers. Store some palletized material there. That's essentially the gist of it.

Okay. Regarding the septic system you I assume same meeting that he had a county judge back in the day and you went through the process Yep, the septic system is certified and credited by the health department Do you know if the septic lines are encroaching on the setback or on the properties?

I honestly don't know the surveyor when he came out and did that he brought it to my attention That it was going to be very close to the property line But the lady from the Health Department came out there and mapped it out a certified septic installer installed it so I wouldn't think that that would be the case, but it's certainly a possibility. I think it'd have to be something to be looked at.

Yeah, the permit by the health department was approved in August 28, 2024, and there was no mentioning of any encroachment.

Okay. All right. Any other questions of the applicant from board members? Okay, thank you, sir.

I mean, if there is any encroachment that's like a legal issue, we can always solve this with like just an agreement with the neighbors, an easement, yeah.

Yeah, I would recommend you look into that if that's an issue you get with your neighbor and figure out some sort of easement agreement or something like that. Certainly will. Okay, all right, any other questions of the applicant from board members? Okay, thank you, sir. Anybody in the public like to make public comment on this item? Seeing none, I'll close public comment and bring it back to the board. Staff reports claim states no complaints. Okay.

Okay.

Oh, and I guess I did forget to ask the same thing. You've seen the conditions of approval by planning board. You don't have any issue with those conditions?

No.

Okay. Thank you. All right. Back to the board for action.

I move we approve the green space creations.

We have a motion for approval. Second. And a second. All those in favor say aye. Any opposed? All right. Thank you. All right. Moving on. Item D, the Farmer's House Church Conditional Use Permit. We'll start with staff report, please.

Vicinity map. Site map. Neighbor map. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to establish a church. The subject property is currently 24 acres. A future lot split will create an eight acre parcel on which the project will be located. The proposed project will occupy less than one acre of the resulting eight acre lot. Proposed hours of operation are Sundays 9 a.m. to noon and 6 p.m. to 8. and Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The applicants will serve as the sole operators of the church with possible volunteers in the future during service hours. The proposed project site includes a 6,000 to 7,000 square foot building equipped with water, electricity, and a septic system, a gravel driveway accessed via an easement from the property to the east, approximately 35 gravel parking spaces, a concrete drop-off area under an awning, and three ADA-compliant parking spaces. A non-illuminated sign is proposed near the easement or on the church building. Security lighting is proposed near the building and a privacy fence would be placed on the north property boundary. The maximum capacity of the church is expected to be 50 congregants. To date, planning staff has not received any complaints. Conditions.

Thank you. Any questions of staff from board members? Okay, go ahead.

The application states 100 members. Our conditional use says 50.

Yes, during the resubmitted, we argued with them, and based on the septic size, They dropped it to 50, like, to meet the Arkansas Department of Health requirements. Back to that. Yeah, so they had to say, like, you know, like, we're not going to go beyond what we've been approved for, and that's what it is. And also, like, meets the parking and the ADA requirements. Okay. All right. Thank you. People, when they apply for anything, they normally have, like, huge ambitions. Then sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

I guess if the church grows, they'd have to redo their septic system.

They do from now on. Beyond this point, it needs to come back.
