MEADOWLANDS, pp439
This item was submitted by Dave ,Jorgensen of Jorgensen and Associates on behalf of WHM
Land Investments, Inc. for property located at Wedington Drive and Rupple Road. The property
in' Tract 1 -is zoned A- l , Agricultural and contains approximately 2.37 acres. The request is to
rezone the property to C- 1 , Neighborhood Commercial . The property in Tract 2 is zoned A- I ,
Agricultural , and contains approximately 4 .09 acres. The request is to rezone the property to C-
I , Neighborhood Commercial . The property in Tract 3 is zoned A- 1 , Agriculture, and contains
approximately 31 .91 acres. The request is to rezone the property to R-2, Medium Density
Residential .
Staff recommended approval rezoning Tracts 1 and 2 from A- 1 , Agricultural to C- 1 ,
Neighborhood Commercial . Further, staff recommended approval rezoning Tract 3 from A- I to
R-2 (Medium Density Residential) . Staff noted to the applicant that the City ' s sewer facilities
may be subject to a moratorium in the near future.
Dave Jorgensen and Butch Robertson were present on behalf of project.
Little: I believe we should discuss these all at one time. Each of them will require a
separate motion and vote.
Committee Discussion
Jorgensen : I am representing the owners on behalf of this request. As you mentioned, Tract I
is an existing 2 .37 acre parcel of property that is located at the southeast corner of Rupple Road
extension at Wedington Road. Tract 2 is at the southwest corner of that same intersection with
4 .90 acres. Both of these tracts of property are existing A- I parcels of property. Our request is
to rezone these to C- 1 on both corners. They are surrounded, generally, by C- 1 property to the
north, C-2 property to the southwest, A- I to the south and R-0 to the east. The third tract of
property is the larger tract which is 32 acres located to the south of the Rupple Road extension as
planned through there. The existing tract is A- 1 and the request is to go to R-2 .
Public Comment
Mr. Vernon McBride who owns the property south of Tract 3 spoke in opposition to rezoning
that tract to R-2 on the grounds that it could allow for a mobile home park or a very dense
residential area. Fie requested that Tract 3 be rezoned to R- 1 .5 . He stated he had 80 acres south
of the subject property and in the future might develop that as R- I with one acre lots. He also
expressed concern about drainage issues from a previous project developed, The Meadowlands.

Further Commission Discussion
Jorgensen: I can say that for slue a mobile home park is not planned in that area. What is
planned for the R-2 is an apartment complex. You may still have an objection to that. A mobile
home park is definitely not planned in there.
MOTION
Mr. Odom made a motion to approve RZ99-3 rezoning Tract I from A- I to C- I .-
Mr. Ward seconded the motion.
Roll Call
Upon roll call , the motion passed with a unanimous vote of 3-0-0 .
MOTION
Mr. Odom made a motion to approve RZ99-4 rezoning Tract 2 from A- I to C- 1 .
Mr. Shackelford seconded the motion.
Roll CMI
Upon roll call , the motion passed with a unanimous vote of 5-0-0.
Further Commission Discussion
Estes: As I look at the one mile radius vicinity map that we were provided, south of
Wedington, the only place I see R-2 is over there where the apartments are off of the Bypass.
Would R- 1 .5 satisfy your needs for the 31 .91 acres?
Jorgensen: I would have to ask Butch Robertson.
Robertson: We want R-2.
Jorgensen: You may want to comment on some of the on going discussions about the park
and the Youth Center.
Robertson: I don' t know whether you remember or not but part of this property is where the
school negotiations were about putting a middle school there adjacent with a ten acre park. As
Minutes of Planning Commission

`part' ofphase 1 , 25 3 ,4 , and 5 of The Meadowlands development, we pledged 9.3 acres of park
land at the southeast corner of the property. The school was to be built adjacent to this property
to provide a playground area for the school and also a nice park for that area. For whatever
reasons, the school got moved north and now Wedington is being widened out to the entrance of
The Meadowlands with four lanes. This make ingress and egress much easier. We are currently
` talking with some people at the Youth Center about the possibility of building a new youth
center project out there. I don' t know if this will bear fruit or not but we are in the process of
discussing it. That would put the Youth Center and the park together and instead of having a 10
acre park, there would be 20 acres with the Youth Center, having a swimming pool , football
Geld, soccer field, basketball goals and have a real community development there for a
recreational facilities. In conjunction with that, on the north end of the east side of Rupple, we
would like to provide some apartments in there. This seems to be the best use for the property
and I believe the staff agrees with the R-2 zoning. That is why we are bring forward this request
for R-2 . I will be happy to Field any questions you may have.
Estes: What you have in mind then, is the apartments would be on the northwest corner
of the R-2 tract and the Youth Center and the park area described would occupy the remainder.
Robertson : That is what we are talking about now. Hopefully, that is what will come to pass.
We ' re just now getting down to discussing this with the powers that be and hopefully we can get
this worked out. I certainly would like to see this out there and everyone knows we need a new
Youth Center. This would be a real plus to the western side of Fayetteville to have that kind of
facility with a park in conjunction with the Youth Center which gives you plenty of room for
playgrounds and all, the activities that the Youth Center provides.
Estes : I agree that would be an ideal use and I would like to see something like that. I
would just be concerned about having 32 acres of apartments out there.
Robertson : It won' t be that much. The Youth Center is going to need 10 to 15 acres. We
haven' t decided the amount. We' re still talking to those people and we haven' t even gotten
down to the nuts and bolts of it but we feel like somewhere in the 10 to 15 acres range coupled
with the 10 acre park would give a tremendous complex there and that would leave roughly 20
acres for apartments.
Hoffman : I have an observation. It seems more like you may be a little bit premature in
requesting the entire 32 acres be rezoned R-2 and possibly this would be better served to be
developed as a PUD that has green space allocations instead of rezoning the entire tract for this
much development at this time. Have you thought about that? I also encourage the Youth
Center.
Robertson: If we reduced it from 31 acres to 21 acres, and left the 10 in there for the Youth
Minutes of Planning Commission

` Center and the park, world that work?
Hoffman: At this stage, I ' m not real sure what needs to happen.
Robertson: What we are trying to do is something really positive for the western side of
Fayetteville. It really needs a shot in the arm. I think this is a move in the right direction. We
want Meadowlands to be a nice development, which it is. The city wanted a blend of duplexes
and houses. They seem to exist pretty well together. The housing development is a little slower
than what we had anticipated and that is why we are moving on to this other area. Eventually,
we hope to have the balance of that Meadowlands development which has about 70 acres in it to
be residential which would Put the whole west side of Rupple Road residential with a mixture of
duplexes and houses and then the east side of Rupple would be the park, the Youth Center, and
some apartments. They want Rupple Road to have a 90 feet right of way which will be a
boulevard . We would be willing to talk to the City about dedicating the extra A feet that they
will need because there is a 60 feet right of way now and they need 90 to make that a boulevard
which gives you the separation that you need between the two types of projects. We really feel
like we have all the buffers there. We built one retention pond because we only did Phase I and
II_ The second retention pond comes when you do Phases III and IV . We understand the water
and drainage situations and we will deal with that to try and be good neighbors to everyone there.
We don' t want anyone to have a water problem.
Tucker: I ' m hesitant to approve all 31 acres as R-2 for the same reasons as expressed
previously. I ' m also in favor of the Youth Center and all that but if that does not conic to pass,
then we still have zoned the entire tract for potential use as R-2 capacity. It seems as if it is not
really what you want to have happen anyway. It seems premature for the whole 3 l acres to be
rezoned R-2.
Robertson: We would be receptive to reducing that by 10 acres which is basically what the
Youth Center indicated they would need and if they need a little more than that then that would
just reduce the 21 acres.
Odom: Staff, how do we get through this at this late hour? Keep in mind that we are
nothing more than a body that recommends something to the City Council anyway .
Robertson: All of this has to go to large scale development before anything is done anyway,
so we will back to you again.
Odom : We approve large scale development but we are nothing more than a body that
recommends items to be rezoned to the City Council . They are the ones with the final authority
on the rezoning. How do we posture a motion?

Pale 12 - ---
Little-: ,*
-Little: ,' I think what you would have to do is recommend approval to the City Council for
"x" amount of acres. But, prior to that going forward, we would have to have the legal
description because in order for the ordinance to be written you have to have a legal description
of the exact acreage. If that is what you are choosing to do, I think that you have a way to do
that.
Hoffman : Is there any schedule for the connection of Rupple Road and Persimmon?
Little: When the development conies along.
Hoffman: On one hand, I have a concern about adding a great number of units to essentially
a long, dead end street. This development has no way to connect this to Persimmon until other
development occurs. On one hand, t want to encourage that. On the other hand, I want to
encourage they reduce the number of acres to be rezoned .
Little: You could also ask for this portion of it to be tabled until you had the drawing
before you so that you would know exactly what it is you are recommending. You have a couple
of options.
Odom: I believe the spirit of what we wanted could be ironed out by the time it got to
City Council .
Ward : The other thing we could do if the issue is to limit, is to condition it upon 12 units
per acre for the whole 32 acres and then if some of those acres are developed by the Youth
Center, it could be limited to 400 units. You would still have the same number of units you
could build on the 20 acres that you have left. It would work out about the same.
Little: 32 acres multiplied by 12 units per acre gives us 384 units.
Ward: That's one way of doing it.
Robertson: Basically, what that would mean is if we sold the ten acres off to the Youth Center
and have 20 acres left, we could still have 384 units.
Ward: If you are going to build duplexes, you won' t have any problems. If you build a
large apartment complex, you could build 12 units per acre pretty easily.
Little: For comparison purposes, if you had 20 acres and you develop that at 24 units per
acres, that would be 480 units.
Robertson : So you are reducing the amount by 100 units.

- ' Johnson'. Do we have the power to recommend a rezoning with these kinds of conditions on
it?
Odom: Not really. I don ' t think we can say we' ll do it if they will do this. But, if the
applicant is saying they will willingly offer a bill of assurance we can do that. Is that right?
Little: Right.
Ward : Would it be bestjust to table this?
Odom : Tile only problem with tabling this is it has to come back before us and then it ' s
got to go to the City Council. Why don' t we try to get something in the form of a motion that
carries the spirit of what we want to accomplish and we can iron out the details between now and
the City Council .
Robertson: I would prefer if Planning Commissioners would go with us on this to reduce it
from 31 acres to 21 acres to be rezoned R-2 and leave the 10 acres in there for the Youth Center
project and it would be rezoned to whatever would allow for that use unit. We want to go ahead
and rezoned 21 acres R-2 and we will provide you with an amended legal description. If the
Youth Center needs more than the 10 acres, then we can negotiate that and whatever the
difference is would be R-2 : I think the 10 acres is going to be a minimum requirement for the
Youth Center project coupled with the 93 acres for park land . That ' s going to give a 20 acres
facility which will be really nice.
Tucker: Is it your intent that 21 acres be the northernmost 21 acres?
Robertson : Yes, sir.
Little: The rezoned 2l acres would be the northernmost 21 acres.
Robertson : Yes.
MOTION
Mr. Ward made a motion to recommend RZ99-5 as per the request of the petitioner to rezoning
21 . 19 acre of the northernmost 31 . 19 acres to be zoned R-2 .
Mr. Tucker seconded.
Odom : Staff, do you feel that our minutes will accurately reflect the intent of the
applicant in our recommendation?
