copy of the report is attached.
Alderman Jordan moved to approve the Nominating Committee Report. Alderman Lucas
seconded the motion.
Alderman Rhoads: Do we have to vote on these nominations at this meeting.
Kit Williams, City Attorney: Well you would have to probably vote on them prior to their
appointment. Your vote would appoint them.
Alderman Rhoads: What happens if we delay that vote until the next meeting?
Kit Williams: If there is a meeting of one of these groups then whoever is currently serving
would continue to serve until they are legally replaced.
Alderman Rhoads: Let me ask our chairman what is the practical ramifications of doing what 1
want to do?

Alderman Cook: Do you mind if I ask the reason?
Alderman Rhoads: I wasn't able to attend the Nominating Committee meeting and I have some
concerns about some of the candidates.
Alderman Cook: The only concern 1 have is what Kit said as far as timing. The board that
would be affected the most would be the Planning Commission.
Alderman Rhoads: Actually Planning Commission is the only one that 1 would want you to
hold off, in voting on the rest of them I would not have a problem with.
Alderman Thiel: It has been a week since we met; you haven't contacted the chair about this
concern?
Alderman Rhoads: I apologize, I have not.
Alderman Cook: 1 didn't get the report out until after this weekend.
Mayor Coody: What 1 understand is that Alderman Rhoads would like to table the Planning
Commission portion of this for two weeks but approve the rest of the appointments is that right?
Alderman Rhoads: Alderman Cook if you feel it will really be detrimental to the Planning
Commission then I just won't vote.
Mayor Coody: Jeremy is there any reason why tabling the Planning Commission portion would
be a problem.
Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning: The current plan is to nominate the officers and
vote on those at the next meeting that is what our bylaws state, our current Planning Commission
bylaws. 1 am sure we could amend those or do something else if that is not possible at this time.
Mayor Coody: Kit you were saying that whoever is serving currently on the Planning
Commission would just sit through another meeting is that right?
Kit Williams: Yes whoever was lawfully appointed will remain active until they have a
replacement appointed for them.
Mayor Coody: What's the Council's wish on this?
Alderman Cook: One of those members is a reappointment; two others will be new terms. I am
not sure how that would affect a quorum of the Planning Commission if those two people that
weren't expecting to be there have to be required.
Alderman Rhoads: I would ask that the person that moved for approval amend his motion,
provided Alderman Cook is okay with it, to take out the Planning Commission and postpone that
for two weeks.

Alderman Jordan: I guess to do that 1 would have to withdraw my motion is that correct?
Kit Williams: Or dust amend it to approve all the nominees except for the Planning
Commission.
Mayor Coody: And that would have to be acceptable to the person that seconded the motion
which would be Alderman Lucas.
Alderman Jordan: What are the thoughts of the Nominating Committee on this?
Alderman Thiel: Obviously we supported these candidates that is the reason they are up for
approval.
Alderman Cook: I will say that by and far the appointments that we have for the Planning
Commission were the best candidates from what we interviewed.
Alderman Lucas: Yes and it was unanimous of those that were there.
Alderman Rhoads: What is your pleasure Alderman Cook?
Alderman Cook: If it doesn't create too much problem for Planning.
Alderman Jordan moved to approve the Nominating Committee report with the Planning
Commission nominees removed. Alderman Lucas seconded the motion. Upon roll call the
motion passed 6-1. Alderman Cook, Rhoads, Ferrell, Lucas, Jordan and Reynolds voting

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
RZN 06-1868 Chambers: An ordinance rezoning that property described in rezoning petition
RZN 06-1868 for approximately .20 acres located at 347 North Willow Avenue from RSF-4
Residential Single -Family, 4 units per acre to RSF-8, Residential Single -Family, 8 units per acre.
This ordinance was left on the Second Reading at the February 7, 2006 City Council Meeting.
This ordinance was Tabled at the February 21, 2006 City Council Meeting to the March 7,
2006 City Council Meeting. This ordinance was Tabled at the March 7, 2006 City Council
Meeting to the March 21, 2006 City Council Meeting.
Jeremy Pate: At agenda session Alderman Marr requested that this item be tabled until the next
meeting. The applicant is still working on some drawings for the Council. They would
appreciate that time as well so they can look at reducing the height of the structure.
Alderman Cook moved to table the,ordinance until the April 4, 2006 City Council meeting.
Alderman Thiel seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 7-0. Alderman
Marr was absent.
This ordinance was left on the Second Reading and Tabled to the April 4, 2006 City
Council meeting.
R-PZD 06-1883 Abshier Heights: An ordinance establishing a Residential Planned Zoning
District titled R-PZD 06-1883, Abshier Heights, located south of Evelyn Hilus Shopping Center
on Abshier and Hillcrest, containing approximately 4.11 acres, amending the Official Zoning
Map of the City of Fayetteville and adopting the Associated Master Development Plan. This
ordinance was left on the First Reading at the March 7, 2006 City Council meeting.
Alderman Cook moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman
Ferrell seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 7-0. Alderman Marr was
absent.
City Attorney Kit Williarns read the ordinance.
Jeremy Pate: I have two updates for you, one is the information that was passed out to you
prior to this meeting. One of those is a decrease in density as requested by the City Council
decreasing the number of units. There is some more information that the architect would like to
go over with you at your next meeting. The other item requested by the City Council was a
traffic evaluation, if you have any questions the traffic engineer is here to answer any questions.
Tim Cooper, Cooper Architects, representing the owner gave a brief update. He stated since the
last meeting there was three items that stood out as being issues that they needed to work on and
get answers on. One was the density, trying to lower the density, the water situation and the
traffic. He stated the developer went back and negotiated with the property owner and he is
going to be more flexible on his price so they could come up with a lower number of units, they
were able to eliminate 6 units from the project. They eliminated a building on the south piece of
property and created a little pocket park. There will be some additional spaces on the property
that could be accessed to walk up and view the Jones home. They also eliminated a building on

the north piece of property which allows for 30' to 40' between the structures on the upper
portion of the property. A copy of the site section was given to the Council so they could see the
unit design. We started with 17.9% of existing canopy, previously the removed canopy was
going to be 1,730 square feet with this new change we are only going to remove 1,083 square
feet, which means that 17.3% of the current canopy will be saved. The previous percent of site
covered by the building was 17% and with these changes it is only 13.5%.
Alderman Thiel: What does this come out to density wise?
Tim Cooper: 24 units on 4.11 acres, which is 5.8 units per acre.
Alderman Thiel: That is pretty close to RSF-4.
Tim Cooper: Right. The other thing is that we have an access easement that we are not
counting in that 4.11 acres if you actually include that square footage it would drop it to around 5
units per acre.
Alderman Thiel: If this was zoned RSF-4 how could this be developed? Each home would
have a driveway off of Abshier and Hillcrest is that correct?
1 im Cooper: Right you would have individual drives accessing Hillcrest. It would also have a
dramatic change on the tree canopy because the grade that you would have to have from the
actual driveway out to maintain that slope would pretty much eliminate that tree canopy along
Hillcrest.
Alderman Thiel: You would not have to preserve the buffer then at that point.
Tim Cooper: No. Actually if you look at this project as a whole, if this was RSF-4 already, this
is still an appropriate project with the Dover, Kohl plan and density wise to up zone for a PZD.
Mayor Coody: Tim, have you had a chance to let the neighborhood know about the changes
that you have made here?
Tim Cooper: Yes I have given the information to some of them.
Alderman Cook: Tim, you handed those out this evening is that correct?
Tim Cooper: Yes.
Jack Butt, stated he represents some of the neighbors on Hillcrest that are opposed to this
project because it is contrary to the existing zoning. This property used to be R-1 now RSF-4 the
neighbors have defeated three different efforts over the last 30 years to change it to anything
else. This is RSF-4 property the planned development would be an upgrading of the property to
something denser with less protection for the neighbors than leaving it as RSF-1.
Mr. Butt handed out information to the Council. He gave a brief history of the property, the
rezoning of the property and the restrictive covenants that where filed on the property on August
31, 1962. In August, 1967 a petition was made that the property to the west be rezoned from R-

1 A to C-2, it was unanimously denied. In June of 1970 the City adopted a citywide map and it
confirmed on that map that, that strip was R-1 and in 1972 the strip was still R-1. In 1991 a
developer asked for a conditional use permit of the R-1 zoning so he could build some duplexes
on Hillcrest, the Planning Commission voted to deny that. Between 1962 and 1991 there were
three requests for rezoning of this property, the Planning Commission, City Board and at one
point a public vote rejected those requests. There have been 19 other requests for zoning
variances or conditional uses and on all those occasions this property was reflected as R-1. In
1999 a glitch occurred, and the city map did not reflect the boundary between the C-2 zoning and
the R-1 zoning. The City in 2003 undertook an effort to cleanup its zoning map, a map was
drawn by city staff and presented to the City Council, it was voted on and approved. On that
map there is a clear demarcation that the C-2 zoning beginning at Evelyn Hills runs all the way
up the hill to Hillcrest. No one knows how this happened, either a draftsman made a mistake or
he intently scooted that line over knowing that he was altering the zoning.
He gave several options for resolving this mistake.
Alderman Cook: I do have a request that will be on the next agenda to re -zone that property to
RSF-4, if it is the Council's wish we will discuss that at the next meeting. With the Planned
Zoning District this could be zoned 1-1 or R -A, with the Planned Zoning District you are re-
zoning it based on that development. While I agree with what Mr. Butt said I think this should
be zoned RSF-4 because 1 think that was the intent of it all along, regardless of that this PZD
stands on its own.
Alderman Ferrell: The next meeting you are going to bring forth to re -zone this to what?
Alderman Cook: Not all the property, just the piece of property that is in question which
parallels on Hillcrest Avenue which is where the discrepancy is in the map whether it was C-2 or
R-1.
Alderman Ferrell: Will it state that you are rezoning from one zoning to another?
Alderman Cook: From C-2 to RSF-4. Just the part that is in question.
Alderman Reynolds: Kit, do you agree with what has been said?
Kit Williams: I certainly will not argue with the history. The Planning Department has owned
up to the fact that they are not sure, when they did all of their research, that where they thought it
came back to C-2. When we did the citywide rezoning it was rezoned C-2 at that point in time
so right now it is C-2.
Alderman Thiel: I think once the neighborhood has an opportunity to look over what is being
offered here they may or may not change their mind. 1 certainly would probably support
rezoning this to RSF-4 but that does not change the fact that we have a PZD before us that is
almost to that density, it is one unit more that the density allowed in RSF-4 and you will have
green space offered to you that you would not have if this was sold off as individual lots or
developed out individually as single family residents. You also have to have a curb cut for each
one of these individual houses. I hope this neighborhood looks at this proposal because it is
probably a very good thing.

Kipp Hearne with H2 Engineering addressed the water concerns, he said in that area of town
there are pressure problems and flow issues, he has met with staff to try to find ways to improve
the water system in this area.
Brian Vines with Carter and Burgess spoke on the traffic study. He stated the level of service
without the development and the level of service with the development remains the same. There
are issues with pulling out on College Avenue. The development is adding about 176 cars to the
surrounding roadway network which is just a small amount on College Avenue. There is not
much traffic being added.
Mayor Coody: Jeremy, one gentleman brought up the widening of Abshier and Hillcrest as a
concern, fill us in on that detail.
Jeremy Pate: It is a requirement of the developer to improve both Abshier and Hillcrest. We
have tried to minimize the amount of grading especially with the sidewalks. Typically you
would have 14' from centerline improvement on these types of streets plus grading for the green
space and sidewalk. We have reduced that green space and sidewalk. We are recommending
14' from centerline which will increase the travel lanes. 1 believe both lanes are about 20' wide
currently, this would add 4' of pavement and curb and gutter on the north side of Abshier and the
west side of Hillcrest.
Mayor Coody: What will that 4' of additional asphalt do to the slope and the grade of buffer
area?
Jeremy Pate: The slope and grade are actually minimal.
Mayor Coody: So we would not have to build any retaining wall or do any damage to trees?
Jeremy Pate: Not that I am aware of.
Mayor Coody: Those questions were asked of me and I just wanted to reiterate those.
Alderman Ferrell: The density went from 30 to 24 and it is 5.8 units per acre. What size will
the six units be that will be there?
Tim Cooper: They will be 1,500 to 1,800 square feet. The price will be in the neighborhood of
$150.00 per square foot.
Dan Griffin a resident said his problem was the bank on Abshier. He stated a retaining wall will
have to be installed. He thinks this will be expensive to the developer and is being overlooked.
Jeremy Pate: One of the conditions for this project is for the developer to work with both the
landscape administrator and the sidewalk coordinator in tandem when this development occurs
so that both goals are achieved simintaniously. The tree canopy and buffer remains as well as
pedestrian paths and sidewalks where we can. The structures look to be 40' to 45' away from
the streets so there is some room there to include those improvements.

Station, WL -4; and approving a 4% project contingency in the amount of $418,000.00.
Alderman Cook asked for an update on the west side line work.
David Jurgens, Water and Wastewater Director: We have three major contract sections of line
work, two of which are before you tonight and one more that we can start in about 90 days, that
is WL -2 that runs from North Street parallel to Gregg Avenue up to about the northern City
limits. That is the one that we had one last easement that we are working on acquiring and had
to get Corp approval for the permit. I got word this afternoon that we should have that Corp
approval within the next two weeks. We have two other lift stations that we have to construct,
we should be advertising one of those within the next two weeks and that should be completed at
the beginning of 2008. We have one other one that we will be advertising in probably eight or
nine months, we don't want to advertise or start construction on that one too soon because we
don't want to have a lift station finished and sitting there not in use while the warranties on it run
out due to the west plant not being ready. We are trying to time all of these so they get completed
at about the same time.

property owner of this project could not obtain that access easement to allow for access,
emergency and otherwise through that parking area, then it would have to return to the Planning
Commission and City Council for review and approval of any additional access points. That is
what is before you at this point. The Planning Commission did recommend approval of this
additional access point onto Crossover Road. The two access points are approximately 200'
apart. It well exceeds the 60' that is currently required.

ANX 06-1933 Nock-Brovles: An ordinance annexing that property described in Annexation
Petition ANX 06-1933 (CC2005-47), for property located at 2390 South Dead Horse Mountain
Road, containing approximately 6.55 acres.
City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance.
Jeremy Pate stated this is within an existing island and would incorporate a portion of the island
that was created with the Hall annexation. Not all the property owners were willing to come in
at that time this one now has requested to come in as part of the City.
Alderman Cook: We still have two islands.
Jeremy Pate: That is correct.
Alderman Cook: None of those have any interest in coming in?
Jeremy Pate: 1 think there was four to six property owners one of them we do not even know
who the property owner is. One property owner has no interest in annexing and the others we
have not followed up on to see if they are interested now. They were all asked at the time of the
Hall annexation and the ones that came in were the ones that wanted to come in at that time.

City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance.
Jeremy Pate gave a brief history of the project. He stated staff is recommending that there is a
time limit extension, this would allow until December 31, 2006 for the applicants to obtain all of
their building permits.
Alderman Thiel: 1 think we all want to see this project completed. There have been some
concerns with the neighborhood, largely the construction traffic on South Duncan we did not
think South Duncan was going to be used as their main ingress and egress. 1 want some
assurance from this developer that this is not going to happen as the project continues to be built
out. The construction traffic needs to be coming off 6th Street.
Mayor Coody: Will there be a real effort to discontinue the traffic on Duncan Street?

Matt Crafton, Crafton, Tull & Associates: Yes, 1 believe we have addressed that issue. The
developer was also very concerned, he is from out of town and was not aware that was going on.
When he heard about it he met with the contractor and emphasized that was not to happen again.
Alderman Reynolds: I have met with the contractor on that location and they brought in a
water truck to help with the dust. Has Mr. Hoodenpyle been taken care of?
Matt Crafton: We have not uncovered his service line to know how deep it is but we will do
whatever it takes. I did mention that to the developer and he said we will do whatever it takes to
protect Mr. Hoodenpyle's property from any sewage backing up into his house. He has been
very cooperative with this project all along, it is surrounding him on two sides, we are very
sensitive and we will do whatever it takes to prevent that.
Alderman Reynolds: I want it in the record that when they come out of their project they are
going to put a Y on the only residence that is back there, when they put that on there I want a
back flow or something to protect Mr. Hoodenpyle from getting flooded.
Mayor Coody: Have you spoken to Mr. Jurgens about this?
Matt Crafton: I have not spoken to City staff.
David Jurgens: I spoke to the resident several days ago as well.
Alderman Cook: Is this building permit for all phases or just phase one?
Jeremy Pate: All phases within the Planned Zoning District.

Jeremy Pate: The Planning staff recommended approval of this annexation request to the
Planning Commission, the Planning Commission recommended denial, and therefore it was
appealed. The Planning Commission vote was 2-4 therefore it failed. This property is located
east of Double Springs Road and contains 9.7 acres. 1t is bordered on two sides by property that
is within the city limits.
Jeremy gave a brief description of the annexation and the surrounding property.
Leonard Gabbard , Landtech Engineering stated he is involved in being one of the possible
owners on the property to the south. He stated they had looked at a step system for this project
but Mr. Jurgens indicated that it would not be in the best interest to the City of Fayetteville to
someday have to take over such an albatross and ask us to come forward to the City to be
brought in. One of the problems we had to overcome was the creation of an island. I would like
for you to consider, do you eventually want to have to take over a step system or would you
rather see this brought onto City infrastructure.
Mayor Coody: Mr. Jurgens was right on target when he said that we don't want to take over
step systems. Thanks for bringing this forward.
Alderman Lucas: We are not increasing the boundary of Fayetteville west because we already
• have a development west of this piece of property.
•
Alderman Cook: What about the owners to the north of that, they are the ones that are going to
be surrounded at that point. Have they requested to come into the City?
Jeremy Pate: To be honest we would not recommend it for annexation had the property owner
not contacted us, staff had not discussed that with the property owner to the north.
Randy Ritchie representing the applicant and future developer stated they have submitted a bill
of assurance. He stated the property to the north is building an industrial development and they
can not build that if they annex. They have indicated that they would consider an annexation
after they have their development built. There will be a total of three properties that will be
asking to be annexed. He also stated the Fire and Police Departments are very comfortable with
this development.
Alderman Jordan moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman
Lucas seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 7-0. Alderman Marr was

Beaver Water District Agreement: A resolution approving an agreement between the City of
Fayetteville and the Beaver Water District for protection of the Beaver Lake watershed.
Alderman Cook: The Water and Sewer Committee discussed this at our last meeting and we
think it is a win win, it was unanimous. I would like to commend the staff's efforts and the
willingness of Beaver Water to work with us. 1 think this is a good thing.
Mayor Coody: Essentially this is an agreement that the City of Fayetteville would help pay to
do an educational program to ensure high quality water effluent and high quality water shed,
clear water protection. In trade the Beaver Water District will let us plow on through with our
very stringent phosphorus limits for the State and not make it even harder for us to get a clean
water permit.
Alderman Cook moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Jordan seconded the motion.
