# Project Boar Site Survey The 2021 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements ALTA/NSPS Boundary & Topographic Survey of the 383.52-acre Project Boar site at the Port of Little Rock, certified by Piroschka "Lynn" Spencer of [[Pickering Firm]] (AR PS No. 1801) and prepared for [[EMH&T]]. ## What's inside - 2 sheets ("1 of 2" and "2 of 2"). Field work completed 2025-01-30; certificate dated 2025-06-19. - ALTA/NSPS certificate; basis of bearings (Arkansas State Plane Coordinate System NAD 83(2011), Epoch 2010.00, U.S. Survey Feet, North Zone); vertical datum (NAVD 88); flood note (Zone X shaded and Zone AE per FEMA/FIRM maps 05119C0478G and 05119C0490G, effective 2015-07-06); reference benchmarks TBM 1 and TBM 2; underground-utility-locate disclaimer. - Surveyor metes-and-bounds descriptions for the overall property and for five subdivided parcels (the survey numbers Parcels A–E with their post-survey acreages, slightly different from the resolution's pre-survey Parcels A–F). - Title-commitment Schedule B II exceptions list, with surveyor notes on which affect the subject property. ## Key takeaways - **The overall property.** "Overall Purchase 383.52 acres"; Parcels A–F per the original purchase agreement totaled 372.01 acres. The discrepancy reflects that the overall conveyance is described by a single perimeter rather than the sum of parcel descriptions, and that one tract from the resolution's pre-survey Parcel B was the City of Little Rock's prior holding (Inst. No. 2025002232) rather than Ratcliff family land. - **Geographic anchors.** Property bounded on the west by Harper Road (50' R.O.W.); on the north by the south line of Riverport Road (Inst. No. 2025017943); on the east by a "proposed road (not yet dedicated)" that becomes Section 19's east line; on the south by Looper Land Inc. and Depriest property lines. Located in Sections 19, 29, and 30 (the title block reads "Sections 29 & 30, Township 01 North, Range 11 East" — likely a typo for "Range 11 West," consistent with the deed and resolution). Fourche Bayou crosses the southwest portion. The site is **roughly 1 mile west of the Arkansas River and north of the existing Port main footprint at 10600 Industrial Harbor Drive**. - **City annexation is pending.** The title block carries a "ZONING DATA" note: *"CITY ANNEXATION IS PENDING."* The property is not yet within Little Rock city limits at the time of survey, which has consequences for the planning, building, and tap-fee jurisdictions through which the project's downstream permits will route. - **Certified parties.** *"CERTIFIED TO: CHICAGO TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY; THE LITTLE ROCK PORT AUTHORITY; WILLOWBEND CAPITAL, LLC AND EMH&T."* EMH&T is named here for the first time in the corpus — see [[EMH&T]]. - **Title-commitment exceptions** (Schedule B II of Chicago Title Insurance Co. Commitment No. 101-251188-ML-1, dated 2025-04-18): Item 13 — *"Easement for Underground Facilities in favor of Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, recorded as Instrument No. 2002128613"* (AT&T fiber across the property; shown on the survey). Item 14 — AT&T cable plat in Plat Book G, Page 465 (Inst. No. 2002171127). Item 20 — *"16.5' Wide Southwestern Bell Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T Arkansas Facility Easement recorded in Instrument No. 2025022680"* (matches Permitted Exception in the deed). Item 16 — *"Planning and zoning rules, regulations and ordinances adopted by the Pulaski County Planning Commission, or Pulaski County, Arkansas, or violations thereof"* — surveyor was not provided with a zoning letter, so plot status is unknown. - **Flood zone.** Mix of Zone X shaded (0.2% annual chance) and Zone AE (Special Flood Hazard Area) per FEMA FIRM panels effective 2015-07-06. - **No buildings or evident earth-moving.** ALTA Table A notes: *"7. NO BUILDINGS OBSERVED ON THE AREA OF INTEREST"; "16. NO EVIDENCE OF RECENT EARTH MOVING WORK, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, OR BUILDING ADDITIONS WERE OBSERVED IN THE PROCESS OF CONDUCTING THE FIELDWORK"* (as of field-work completion 2025-01-30). The site was undeveloped agricultural / open land at survey time. ## People and orgs mentioned - Piroschka "Lynn" Spencer, AR PS No. 1801 — surveyor of record at [[Pickering Firm]]. - [[Pickering Firm]] — surveyor. - [[EMH&T]] — engineering client of the survey. - [[Little Rock Port Authority]] — certified party (seller). - [[Willowbend Capital, LLC]] — certified party (buyer). - Chicago Title Insurance Company — certified party (title insurer). - ALSIP Locating Services — Ground Penetrating Radar / utility-locate vendor. - Earl Dudley CORS network — GPS reference (basis of bearings). - AT&T Arkansas (Southwestern Bell Telephone Company) — underground-fiber easement holder across the site. ## Concepts invoked - ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey — the 2021 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements (jointly adopted by ALTA and NSPS). - FEMA FIRM flood-zone designations (Zone X shaded, Zone AE). - Class "B" survey designation in Arkansas surveying standards. ## Events documented - The 2025-01-30 field work and the 2025-06-19 certification. ## Cross-references - [[Willowbend Capital Warranty Deed]] — the survey accompanies and underlies the deed's Exhibit A legal description. - [[Willowbend Capital Closing Statement]] — the survey fee was paid outside closing (POC) to Pickering Firm; ALTA Endorsement 25-06 (Same As Survey, $250) on the closing statement covers the survey-deed reconciliation. - [[Port Authority Land-Sale Resolution]] — the resolution's metes-and-bounds is the pre-survey description; this is the post-survey description. ## Open questions / follow-ups - **City annexation status.** "Pending" as of survey date. Whether annexation has since been completed is a follow-up — relevant to which planning, zoning, and utility-tap-fee regimes the project will navigate. - **Title block typo.** The header "Sections 29 & 30, Township 01 North, Range 11 East" appears to be a typo; the body legal descriptions and the deed both consistently use "Range 11 West." No follow-up needed beyond noting the artifact. - **Underground utilities.** The survey notes AT&T fiber across the property under Item 13; an Entergy electric routing for the future data-center buildings is not on the survey and would be a later infrastructure-permit record.
