• MINUTES OF FAYETTEVILLE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
A regular meeting of the Fayetteville Planning Commission was held at 4:00 p.m.,
July 11, 1961. Mr. George Caudle presided in the absence of the chairman.
The
Planning Commission members present:
Mr. Caudle,
Mr. Young, Mr. Stubblefield,
Mr.
Shreve and Mr. McClinton.
Others present at the meeting: Mr. Lynn Smith, Mr. Raymond Nelson and Mr. Harold
Lieberenz.
1. Mr. Stubblefield made a motion to set the date of a public hearing on the
proposed zoning change for amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1239 for July 27,
1961. Mr. McClinton seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
2. Mr. Shreve made a motion that the Planning Commission approve the vacating
of certain alleys in Block A of Leverett's Second Addition to the City of
Fayetteville as petitioned by the University of Arkansas. Mr. Young seconded
the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
3. Mr. Lieberenz presented the minimum street requirements for subdividers drawn
up by the Street Committee of the City Council. Mr. McClinton suggested that
gravel shoulders be required regardless of the type of street. Mr. McClinton
also stated that he is in favor of all streets with a grade of 5% or 7% slope
be required to put in curb and gutter and permanent type pavement. Mr. Caudle
• suggested that subdividers should be allowed to use concrete paving if they
should choose to do so.
The Planning Commission discussed the possibility of amending the subdivision
ordinance to allow a subdivder to have a choice of gravel, dust -free, or
permanent pavement. After a lengthy discussion, the Planning Commission
decided that they would approve these minimum street standards, but they still
felt that the subdivision ordinance should not be amended. In other words,
the subdivision ordinance should be left as it is to require the subdivider
to install permanent pavement and leave the decision up to the Planning
Commission as to whether or not the subdivider should be allowed any other
type street other than the permanent street with curb and gutter.
Mr. Young made a motion to approve the street specifications submitted by
the Street Committee of the City Council, but recommended that the alternatives
not be left up to the subdivider. Mr. Shreve seconded. The motion passed
unanimously.
4. Mr. Raymond Nelson presented a resolution on the revision of the contract
between the City and the University. The revision outlined the items, which
are permitted under the original contract, that needed to be worked on by
his department. (Copy of this contract is attached.)
The meeting was adjourned.
