Fayetteville City Council met in regular session, Monday,December 19, 1955. esent: Mayor Roy A Scott, City Clerk J.W.McGehee, Ciby Attorney A.D.McAllister, City gineer W.C.Smith, City Auditor Albert Jones, City Building Inspector Harold Lieberenz, ief of Police Pearl Watts, Fire Chief Burl Sgelton,and Aldermen: Richardson,Parish, nsford, Williams, Bronson and Alexander. Absent:Aldermen Hunt and Y, cAllister(Alderman Allister appeared later in the meeting) Minutes of the regular meeting of December 5th, were read and approved. 'he report of the Planning Commission on the proposed plat of SUNSET HILLS ADDITION, whit plat of had beeh referred to the Planning Commissionat the last regular meeting was presented and I r ad by the Clerk, said report be as follows: Supset Hillls Aidit�ion REPORT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION: I POC port of This proposed plat was referred by the Council to the Planning Commission for stuIy and recommendation by the Commission at the last meeting of the Council. The proposed plat lies on a hillside sloping generally to the north. Because of t is slope there have beeh problems in obtaining adequate streets. One of tiiese,namely Sunset Drive will furnish a thorough connection between Cleveland Street and Highway 16,\The other proposed streets are short,feeder streets,and will not be extended beyond their present �— lines. The Planning Commission is fully aware of the suggestion of the Council that all , npw streets should be platted so as to have a minimum width of 50 feet. In the case.sof Valley V ew Drive,0ak Drive and Vista Drive it is the opinion of the Commission that no advantage w uld be gained by insisting on'the 50 foot width, as none of these are designed to' -ever c rry more traffic than that of the residents of these short streets. In the case of Sun- s t Drive,there has been a question in the minds of the Commission.However it is called tq . our attenVion that the portion of Sunset Drive lying south of the proposed plat and Cleve! 1 nd Street is only 30 feet wide at the present time. It is also noted that this area is practically built up solidly,and that is almost an impossibility to widen the portion of Sµhset Drive in the area putside the proposed plat. Taking these factors intd) consideration, te Commission has decided to recommend the acceptance of the plat by the Council. It is further called to the abtention of the Council that this tract was surveyed several months ago,and it is only because of the illness of Mr.Utley,one of the platters, that this p1At was'not presented to the Council and the Commission for approval acid acceptance several weeks before the above mentioned resolution of the Council was passed. The Planning Commission at a meeting held on December 16th,with 7 Of the 9 members present, unanimously approved the plat and recommends its acceptance by the Cou cil. Planning Commission of Fayetteville,! By (s) W.H.Pryor, Chairman A derman Parish made a motion that the Plat be approved, and the City Attorney instructed to prepare the Ordinance accepting the plat, this motion was seconded by Alderman Bronson, an. was passed unanimously. 0 4 L 5 •
