Neighborhood Meeting - November 1

2010-10-21T20:07:00.001-05:00

Our Next Neighborhood Association Meeting
November 1, 7:00 PM
Lakewood Property Owners Association Hospitality Room
4500 Lakeshore Drive

This is a very important meeting for our neighborhood association

It is time to elect new officers for our association. We need persons to serve as President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
Currently only one person has expressed a willingness to serve as an officer.
We ask that any of our members, who would like to serve as an officer, please contact Presley Melton or Charlie Knott in advance of the meeting. This is vital to the future of our neighborhood association. If you have questions about the responsibilities of the officers, please contact Charlie Knott.

Contact Information
Presley Melton Chairman of the Nominating Committee
753-7788 Presleymel@aol.com

Charlie Knott President
554-0425 charlieknott@sbcglobal.net

We will also take nominations from the floor at the meeting.

Also at this Meeting
Aldermen Charlie Hight and Murry Witcher have both said they will attend. You will have an opportunity to hear about current issues and ask questions.
Robert Fureigh, candidate for Ward 4 Alderman and Shane Stacks, Candidate for District 15 Justice of the Peace also plan to attend.
We will also have an update and discussion on the development across Five Mile Creek.
Development of Subdivision is Under Way across Five Mile Creek
Metropolitan Realty has begun development of Overbrook Addition, Phase 19, on the north side of Five Mile Creek adjacent to our neighborhood. The development is on a tract of land approximately twelve acres in size. The tract is bounded on the north and east by Sherwood and on the west and south by North Little Rock. It is to have 22 lots, about one-third acre each.

A bridge is being constructed at the north end of Fairway Avenue to access the development. A road will extend about 1200 feet north with houses on either side. Plans call for the road to terminate with a cul-de-sac and not connect with Sherwood streets.
This is very important to our neighborhoods, because connecting with Sherwood streets would increase traffic through our neighborhoods on Fairway and Somers. Our association, under the leadership of former president, Nate Brandes, took an active role in safeguarding our neighborhoods during the early stages of project planning.

Metropolitan Realty has had extensive studies done under the direction of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Corps of Engineers. We presently foresee no problems with this development, if it proceeds according to approved plans.

Additional Information
If you would like additional information, please email Charlie Knott at charlieknott@sbcglobal.net . I have a drawing that shows a layout of the development and provides additional information, which was not practical to include in the newsletter.

Ward 4 Alderman Election
Alderman Murry Witcher is up for re-election as alderman. He is being opposed by Robert Fureigh. Please plan to attend our November 1 association meeting, where you will have an opportunity to hear the candidates speak and to ask them questions on issues important to our ward and city.

Email to Aldermen Charlie Hight and Murry Witcher

2010-05-23T17:28:00.000-05:00

Charlie and Murry,
It is my understanding that one of the main considerations in establishing overlay districts will be the rate of traffic accidents in the area being considered.

I have reviewed a traffic accident summary report prepared by Traffic Services of North Little Rock for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2008. It appears that the locations of McCain and Landers ranked first, and McCain and Warden ranked third in the rate of traffic accidents, followed by McCain and North Hills at ninth (still high). This must be taken into consideration in recommending these overlay districts.

I am opposed to the overlay district on Warden Road between Somers and West Commercial because of the proximity to the homes on Oak Tree Circle in Lakewood Northeast. I am also opposed to an overlay district on McCain Blvd between North Hills and McCain Mall because of the proximity to homes in Heritage Park.

I ask that you take this into consideration. Thank you.

Charlie Knott
President
Northeast Lakewood Associated Neighborhoods

To: Mayor Hays and City Council members

2010-05-23T17:27:00.000-05:00

I ask that you please consider the following comments on Ordinance O-10-35

Provide Adequate Opportinity for Public Comment
Everyone interested in this issue should be given an opportunity to review this ordinance and comment on it after any amendments are made to the current ordinance on the agenda for the May 24 City Council meeting. Please extend the moratorium as necessary to provide this opportunity, as would normally be provided on any ordinance of this importance. A number of concerned citizens have attended many committee meetings and City Council meetings for over a year to provide input on this issue--all the more reason they and other citizens should be provided the opportunity to comment on the ordinance before it is finalized.

Protect our Neighborhoods
The definition of electronic changeable copy signs (ECCS) should not be amended to exclude from regulation those ECCS that have a change frequency of one hour or more. This opens the door for this type of sign to be installed outside overlay districts. I am concerned that this will allow these signs in neighborhoods at locations surrounded by homes. It was my understanding that all City Council members wanted to provide protection to residential property owners from these signs interfering with the enjoyment of their homes. There are several statements in the ordinance expressing the intent for such protection.
I suggest that the definition of ECCS should not be dependent on any change frequency.

Limit the Permit Period for ECCS
The ten-year permit period for ECCS should be reduced to a period of no more than three years. This will provide a reasonable period to evaluate the impact of these signs on our community, including effect on any nearby homes, traffic safety, and appearance of areas where they are installed. More extensive comments on the permit period are included in a "communication" on the agenda for the May 24 City Council meeting.

Thank you,
Charlie Knott
President
Northeast Lakewood Associated Neighborhoods

Census Scams

2010-03-13T10:04:00.003-06:00

NLR citizens be aware of possible census scams. Workers WILL NOT ask for your SSN, money, harass you, or email you.

The NLRPD is advising all citizens to be aware of a possible census scam and to protect their personal information. It is important to remember that there are distinct differences between a real census worker and an identity thief trying to fraudulently obtain your personal information. US Census workers will have identification but sometimes identification cards can be fabricated... So, it is VERY important to remember what Census workers will NOT do.

Census Workers WILL NOT
1. ask for your social security number of ANY type of financial information
2. ask for money or say that you owe money
3. 20 harass or intimidate you
4. contact you by email.

By remembering these simple guidelines the citizens of NLR will be able to protect themselves from anyone looking to target unsuspecting victims.

2010 Census

2010-03-07T11:06:00.003-06:00

I really appreciate the following neighbors who volunteered to help tell people about the importance of the 2010 Census to North Little Rock--Herb and Lynda Etheridge, Faye Kirkwood, Margie Wood, Carol Holloway, Judy McDowall, and my wife JoAn. In addition to that we provided information about good-paying Census jobs to about 15 people, looking for employment. When we can help anyone find a job these days, it's a good thing.

LRID Parking District enforcement

2009-12-11T14:42:00.001-06:00

From Alderwoman Debi Ross

The approved parking district for Lakewood signs have been installed. Notification has gone out in the form of the Lakewood newsletter that is mailed to all residents in the LRID. Below is the information the residents received in the newsletter. Enforcement will begin January 1, 2010. Our number one goal should be education for the individuals for one reason or another that did not know of the new regulations for the first few months. The Code Department and Police Department have the authority to write citations.

On September 28, 2009, the City Council of North Little Rock adopted Ordinance No. 8196 establishing the LAKEWOOD RESTRICTED PARKING DISTRICT #2. The District was established after application was made by the Lakewood Recreational Improvement District in accordance with Ordinance No. 8128, the City’s Parking Ordinance. The boundaries of the Restricted Parking District are identical to those of the Recreational Improvement District. The specified area and map is on file with the NLR City Clerk’s Office. I am providing this simplified narrative to introduce the district residents to their new parking regulations.

Within the Lakewood Restricted Parking District, the rules for parking vehicles are now more stringent. The following rules apply in addition to the rules that apply throughout the City:

1. Parking on front or side lawns is prohibited.

2. Parking commercial vehicles is prohibited.

The first rule means that whenever someone in the district parks a vehicle in front of their house or beside their house, it must be parked on an improved surface of concrete, asphalt, or pavers. The term “vehicle” includes cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, trailers, and the like. Please note that the definition of side yard does not include areas behind a fence. So, this rule does not regulate vehicles parked behind a fence or in the backyard.

The second rule only regulates commercial vehicles, which are generally defined as: (1) construction and transport vehicles; and (2) vehicles that require a commercial driver’s license for operation. It does not apply to vehicles just because they are labeled with commercial advertisement, such as a work truck or van. The rule means that commercial vehicles can only be parked within the district while conducting business.

North Little Rock December Happenings

2009-12-02T10:26:00.000-06:00

Deer Spotted

2009-11-24T13:10:00.002-06:00

Tuesday morning at 8:20 AM, Nate B. spotted three good-sized does on Valley Brook - South side of street), and then they bounded towards 5 Mile Creek. This is the first time he could recall seeing them this far out of the creek, venturing into the neighborhood! Perhaps the hunting pressure and/or the high water levels this year have pushed the deer seeking new shelter and food.
Be on the lookout for deer, especially in the early morning and evening hours when you may be driving around or through the area. Our neighborhood walkers could be in for a visual treat, too!

Electronic changeable copy signs

2009-10-14T19:31:00.002-05:00

We have arranged for a special meeting with our aldermen, Murry Withcher and Charlie Hight to discuss how we can best prohibit electronic changeable copy signs in our neighborhoods. The meeting will be October 20, 6:30 PM, at the Lakewood Property Owners Association office building.

The aldermen and alderwomen on City Council are currently working on an ordinance to regulate electronic changeable copy signs. A proposal, currently being considered, will allow this type on sign in residential areas. This can adversely affect the appearance of our neighborhoods and also be a nuisance. We must speak out now, while they are working on this ordinance.

I ask that you attend this very important meeting. Please respond by email and let me know if you can attend.

Patriot Day (USA)

2009-09-07T20:20:00.000-05:00

On the calendar, Friday, September 11, 2009, is labeled as "Patriot Day (USA)! On his day why not consider having an American Flag be displayed outside every NLANder home? On this eighth anniversary of one of our country's worst tragedies we should give honor with the display of our flag. We do this to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11; their families, loved ones and friends who continue to endure the pain. And we do this to honor those who today are fighting at home and overseas to preserve our cherished freedoms! Do you remember how you felt back on 9/11? Why not let those feelings guide your actions for this coming Friday, and for every day that follows! God Bless America!

RazorRock

2009-08-27T13:01:00.001-05:00

RazorRock, billed as Central Arkansas' week-long Razorback football rally, will lead into Arkansas' September 5th home opener against Missouri State in Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium. The week will culminate in a first-ever, Friday night pep rally on the historic Junction Bridge, connecting the downtowns of Little Rock and North Little Rock. For more information, including a complete schedule of events, visit www.RazorRockRally.com. All events and times are subject to change.

Electronic changeable message signs

2009-08-06T09:46:00.000-05:00

If you have an opinion on how the use of electronic changeable message signs should be controlled in North Little Rock, now is a good time to contact our aldermen. Their contact information is:
Charlie Hight chight@northlittlerock.ar.gov 758-8396
Murry Witcher mwitcher@northlittlerock.ar.gov 835-0009

Contact information for other aldermen and alderwomen is on the City of North Little Rock website www.northlr.org

These bright, programmable signs with messages that can change every few seconds can adversely affect the appearance on our neighborhoods and community and can possibly be distracting for drivers.

A work session has been scheduled for the aldermen and alderwomen on Thursday, August 6. They will be trying to draft an ordinance by the end of August to regulate the installation and use of this type of sign . This would enable them to present the draft ordinance at City Council and have a public hearing in September.

On April 27 the City Council voted to place a moratorium on this type of sign and prohibit installation through August 31, while they work on an ordinance. They have since extended the moratorium through September 30.

Don't miss this opportunity to express your opinion, while this ordinance is being written.

Thank you,
Charlie Knott
President, Northeast Lakewood Associated Neighborhoods

We will meet at 4533 Purnell Drive at 7:00 PM for a group walk through our neighborhood. After the walk, around 7:30 PM, we will have ice cream on the front lawn at that same address. This is the home of Kevin and Julie Nichols. If you want to come for ice cream only, that’s fine.

Ice Cream will be provided by Northeast Lakewood Associated Neighborhoods. Everyone is asked to bring a lawn chair to the ice cream social. We have asked permission to close Purnell Drive to traffic. Therefore, we ask that you walk and not drive to the get-together. We will provide a ride to anyone who needs assistance getting to the ice cream social.

This will be a great opportunity to get better acquainted. Hope to see you there.

National Night Out
Two purposes of National Night Out are to 1) strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and 2) heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.

ELECTRONIC CHANGEABLE MESSAGE BOARD SIGNS
By Presley Melton

Presley and Jo Melton, two active members of our neighborhood association, submitted the following article. NLAN officers invited them to submit an article because they are knowledgeable about this issue and how the signs may impact our community.

North Little Rock citizens have an opportunity to get involved and speak out about an issue that may adversely affect the appearance of our neighborhood and city, and may affect driver safety.

New technology has brought a new type of sign – the electronic message board sign. You may have already seen these at a few businesses and churches in North Little Rock, such as a travel agency in Park Hill on JFK between A and B streets and First Pentecostal Church on I-40. This type of sign is extremely bright, has vivid colors, and the message and background colors can change every few seconds. Many people across America have found them to be offensive to the eye and are concerned about the effect the changing messages have on traffic safety. Numerous cities from California to Maine and from Washington to Florida have already severely restricted or enacted total bans on these signs. Conway successfully enacted a total ban some years ago. I have recently visited Colorado Springs; Scottsdale, AZ; and some Florida cities that have also banned these signs. All those cities are growing and thriving since choosing to not allow electronic signs, and NLR would benefit by doing the same.

At the April 27th city council meeting the aldermen passed a four-month moratorium on installing these bright electronic message board signs. This moratorium gives us all time to learn more about these signs that draw our attention with intensely colored scenes and messages that totally change within seconds. The moratorium expires on August 31st, and if new legislation limiting these signs is not passed prior to that time, more of them will start appearing in our city.

At this time there is no regulation to protect our residential neighborhoods from these easily programmed signs being placed at nearby commercial businesses, churches, and schools.

If you oppose these bright, electronic message board signs in North Little Rock, please contact our aldermen and ask them to adopt strict laws regulating or totally banning electronic message board signs. We can make those other cities’ success stories our own, as we promote our attractive city to new homeowners, businesses, and tourists.

• Alderman Murry Witcher will tell us the status of pending legislation on electronic changeable message board signs.
• Alderman Charlie Hight will give us an update on parking regulations that will affect our neighborhood.
• Ken Sullivan, Director of LPOA, will update us on the issue of 62 properties on Valley Brook, McKee Circle, and Oak Tree Circle and whether a petition was filed in court to include the properties in the Lakewood Recreational Improvement District.
• Police Officer Brandon Davidson will give a crime report

PARKING DISTRICTS AND REGULATIONS

The Lakewood Recreational Improvement District has completed its application to become a “Restricted Parking District” which, when approved, will give them authority to implement certain parking regulations for our neighborhood. The commissioners for LRID signed the application at their July 13 meeting. When submitted, the City Clerk must give public notice, and then it must be heard at a City Council meeting.

As stated in our April newsletter the Commission had voted on April 13 to adopt new regulations as described below.

• Parking in front or side yards. It shall be unlawful for any person to park, store, or keep any vehicle on a front or side yard unless the vehicle is parked, stored, or kept within a carport, garage, or upon a proper parking surface, that connects to the street or roadway.

• Parking commercial or large recreational vehicles. It shall be unlawful for any person to park, store, or keep any commercial or large recreational vehicle (taller than 8 feet or longer than 25 feet) on any front, side yard, or street within the district.

LRID included in their application a request that owners of large recreational vehicles be allowed to park in the street for up to 48 hours when loading for trips and unloading after trips. Previously existing regulations allowed 72 hours, but the new regulations did not include a provision of any time for this purpose.

Having Way Too Much Fun
Since Nate Brandes finished his term as President of NLAN, he and Judy have made several trips in their RV with friends in the “Ark-A-Bago” camping club, including Hot Springs, Natchez, and Maumelle Park. Nate said he has been Social Director for the past two years, setting up camp activities—I think he’s the Party Guy. In March they joined another camping club called the “Arkansas Travelers Club” and went to Cotter with them. They just got back from Branson and have trips planned for Petit Jean, Bull Shoals, Lake Charles, Eureka Springs, Hot Springs, and Branson again.
This all started in 1969 when Nate and Judy spent their honeymoon in a 9’x12’ tent on the shores of Lake Superior. He didn’t tell me any more about the honeymoon. They have been camping ever since and love taking their grandchildren, when they can.
When he left office he assured me the job of president didn’t take much time. I still think about that when I’m on the computer, working on a newsletter, and call him only to find he’s not home—again. To make it worse he likes to tell me how much fun he’s having. Seriously, we appreciate all Nate and Judy have done and hope they have a great time.

Minutes of May Meeting

2009-07-21T16:35:00.001-05:00

NLAN Meeting Minutes May 4, 2009
Regular Meeting 7-8 p.m.
Crestwood Elementary School Cafeteria

The following are draft minutes and must be approved at our August 3 meeting before they can be considered final. If you have any questions or comments, please send email to charlieknott@sbcglobal.net.

1. Welcome: (Charlie Knott)
The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. The agenda was previewed.

2. Approval of Minutes of March 16, 2009 Meeting (Judy McDowall)
Minutes of the March 16, 2009 meeting were approved (motion by Presley Melton, second by Lynda Etheridge). Charlie Knott asked if anyone would object if the draft minutes were posted on the website. No objection was raised..

3. Treasurer's Report (Wanda Smith)
The bank balance is $232.72. There were no receipts or expenditures since the last meeting. The treasurer's report was accepted (motion by Faye Kirkwood, second by Buzz Smith).

4. Neighborhood Crime Report (NLR Police Officer Brandon Davidson)
Officer Davidson reviewed the highlights of the written crime statistics summary for February and March 2009 and responded to residents’ questions.

5. Transition of Officers (Charlie Knott)
Charlie Knott summarized some of the activities of the officers that related to assumption of responsibility. Specifically, the bank account signature authority has been changed; the first officer’s meeting took place; the first newsletter was produced and distributed. The President attended two city council meetings and the Vice President, Kevin Nichols, attended one city council meeting.

6. Bylaws – Adoption and Proposed Change to Article V, Nominations and Election of Officers of the Association (Charlie Knott)
Officer's recommend continuing with existing bylaws (motion Lynda, Presley, second) Passed.

Charlie Knott proposed a change to Article V of the bylaws on “NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS OF THE ASSOCIATION”. The purpose of the change was to have the election earlier and to allow transition time for the new officers before assuming responsibility. There was a recommendation from the floor that the officers assume responsibility at the beginning of the new calendar year rather than at the first meeting of the new year, as proposed. Move to accept with the changes. Robert Lumpp, motion. Bruce Dantzler, second. Article V, as approved, is attached.

7. Electronic Changeable Copy Signs
This is a controversial issue. As of the April 27 City Council meeting a moratorium on issuance of permits for changeable copy signs is in effect through the end of August 2009. Our aldermen, Murry Witcher and Charlie Hight, explained their positions on changeable copy signs. Murry expressed the opinion that electronic changeable copy signs need to be managed to protect residential areas and to prevent a hazard to driving. Charlie said he is against reducing the frequency of change to 5 seconds and favors legislating brightness. He expressed the opinion that there is a right place and a wrong place for location of electronic changeable copy signs. He indicated that he finds such signs useful and attractive.
One questioner asked Charlie his position on electronic changeable copy signs for churches in residential areas. Charlie said that he does not believe that electronic changeable copy signs should be in residential areas. Both of our alderman said that they did not want to see electronic changeable copy signs in neighborhoods.

Other questions / comments (and responses if any) included the following:
• when a draft sign ordinance would be available (on or before end of July - intent is to give public opportunity to provide feedback),
• how a neighborhood can have the protection that Argenta has (Argenta is a historic district),
• whether changeable copy referred to words or pictures,
• whether motion had been taken into consideration,
• whether the possibility that audio capability could be added had been considered, and
• whether there would be limitations on height and width (there is interest in changing billboards to electronic changeable copy signs).
Charlie Knott asked if those present would be in favor of electronic changeable copy signs if limited to commercial areas. There was no consensus on this. However, there was consensus against these signs in a residential neighborhood. The sign ordinance is on the city website.

8. Parking Districts and Parking Regulations
Lakewood Recreational Improvement District (LRID) has said it intends to apply for approval as a parking district. If / when approval occurs the parking rules adopted by the LRID will apply to our neighborhood. LRID has not yet submitted their application. Charlie Knott read the proposed rules. The intent of the regulations is: (1) no parking of vehicles in front or side yards off of a paved surface, (2) no commercial or large RV parking on any front or side yard or in the street. Charlie Hight explained the reasons for parking districts and legislation. There was discussion about the amount of time that RVs can be parked in the street when owners are preparing for trips or returning from trips.

9. Comments on Stimulus Monies (Murry Witcher)
As of today North Little Rock has been granted $4,679,249 of stimulus funds. Several projects have received funding. Areas mentioned included community development block grants, rehabilitation, ten new police officers for 3 years, rental subsidies, upgrading housing facilities, an electric department grant, transportation infrastructure (mostly being used in Baring Cross area). The website to go to for more information is www.recovery.arkansas.gov.

10. Unified Coalition of Associated Neighborhoods April 6, 2009 Meeting Report (Judy McDowall)
Judy represented NLAN at the Unified Coalition meeting. The meeting is attended by representatives of the various neighborhood associations in North Little Rock. It provides a venue for communication. Each neighborhood had activities to report on and events to announce. This is an interesting group of really committed people and a worthwhile meeting.

11. Bucket List (Charlie Knott)

 meeting frequency: officers decided to stay with meeting every 3 months
 newsletter: will be published between meetings; every 6 weeks approximately

 Kevin Nichols asked how can we get a left turn signal on Fairway and McCain? Charlie Hight said he would check on this.

Proposed Change in Bylaws
May 5, 2009

Article V

Change to read as follows.

NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS OF THE ASSOCIATION

1. The officers of the Association shall be elected by a majority of the voting members present at the meeting in which elections are held.

2. All officers shall serve a term of two years and shall serve no more than two consecutive terms in the same office.

3. At the next to last regularly scheduled meeting in the year in which officers’ terms are to end, the President will announce an election of officers to be held at the last regularly scheduled meeting on the year. The President may appoint a nominating committee to identify potential officers, if he chooses to do so.

4. At the last regularly scheduled meeting of that year the election of officers will be held. Nominations for office will be announced. Nominations will also be open from the floor. Any nomination from the floor must receive a “second” from the floor to qualify a candidate for election to office. As a practical measure, most votes will be taken by a show of hands or a voice vote. However, at the discretion of the President, a written ballot may be taken on any issue before the membership.

5. Immediately after their election new officers will begin working with outgoing officers to insure a smooth transition of responsibilities. The new officers will assume responsibility for the Association at the beginning of the new calendar year.

6. A vacancy in any office shall be filled by appointment by the remaining officers, and the appointee will hold office for the unexpired term. However, if the President’s office is vacant, the Vice President will fill the remaining term of the President and the Board of Officers will appoint a new Vice President.

7. Only one member of a household may hold office for any given term of office.

Mortar fire training

2009-05-19T15:12:00.001-05:00

Mortar fire training to take place on Camp Robinson this Wednesday, May 19 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the mortar range located on the north side of Camp Joseph T. Robinson near Cato. The sound of the mortar training will carry outside of the walls of Camp Robinson and may potentially cause concern in the surrounding area. This is a drill and only a drill.
