Chairman J. F. Palmer called the meeting to order. Chairman Palmer reported that the
purpose of the special meeting was to hold a public hearing to hear and consider the
petition of Ralph D. Brophy for the rezoning of property east of North Collage Avenue
and north of East Township Road. Mr. Palmer said that those in favor of the petition
would now be heard.
Attorney Charles Atkinson was present to represent Ralph D. Brophy, who could not
attend this hearing because of illness. Mr. Atkinson asked the Planning Commission
for permission to withdraw Mr. Brophy's rezoning petition because there is some
question about.the.correct legal description and ownership.
There was not a quorum present, but it was the unanimous opinion of those members
present that the Planning Commission should grant Charles Atkinson's request that
the rezoning petition of Ralph D. Brophy be -withdrawn.
Chairman Palmer declared that since the petition for rezoning had been withdrawn,
there would be no further public hearing.
Although a quorum was not present, several items were still presented to the Planning
Commission for study and opinions.
The Building Inspector presented a plat of Bryce Davis' proposed Rolling Hills
Addition which is located east of the Northridge Subdivision. There was a street
problem which needed consideration. Bryce Davis, who was present at the meeting, said
the land to the north between Township Road and the proposed Rolling Hills Addition
is owned by Roy Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong is neither ready to subdivide his property
nor is he willing to sell. Mr. Davis said he had no objections to running an extension
to his north property line of the eastern most street shown on his proposed subdivision
plat and would even be willing to put in both streets if the Planning Commission felt
both were needed. After discussion it was the opinion of the Planning Commission
members present that both streets were not necessary because of the proximity of
Brairwood Avenue to the west.
The next problem to be discussed was that building and street problem of J. W.
Shepherd. Mr._Shepherd owns property off Highway 71 North; this property does not
front on a street. Mr. Shepherd has applied for a permit to build on his property.
The Building Inspector gave a brief history of the problem. Mr. Lieberenz said that
before the real estate in question came inside the city limits, Mr. Shepherd sold
property fronting on Highway 71 North to Bob Stout and Mr. Stout built his present
home upon this real estate. At the time Mr. Shepherd sold Bob Stout the real estate
he kept a 241 foot drive to his house and to additional real estate which he had
purchased. Said real estate is located between Mr. Shepherd's home and J. C. Cox's
Auto Salvage. It is upon this real estate which Mr. Shepherd wants to build.
Mr. Shepherd, who attended this meeting, said that Johnnie Bassett had a 46 foot
strip of land between the Bassett property and Mr. Cox's property, but Mr. Shepherd
was doubtful about Mr. Bassett dedicating this 46 feet for street purposes.
'70
After a short discussion, it was the opinion of those members present that the
• 24# foot strip of land Mr. Shepherd is now using for an inlet and outlet should be
dedicated to the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, for street purposes to meet a 50
foot street which is to be dedicated to the City of Fayetteville. Arkansas, for
street purposes.

The building problem of Morris Unsell on property located between Davidson Street
and Rebecca Street was discussed by the Planning Commission. Harold Lieberenz
explained that Morris Unsell wanted to maintain the 25 foot private drive part way.
This drive would be curbed and guttered. Mr. Unsell planned to build duplexes upon
the lots which the property would be divided into. Mr. Lieberenz said there was
some question as to whether Washington Avenue should be extended north. The general
opinion of those Planning Commission members present was that Washington Avenue need
not be extended between Davidson Street and Rebecca Street because it terminated on
Prospect Street a block north of Rebecca Street.
There was discussion on Roy Adams's subdivision plat of property between Hawthorn
and Prospect Streets in regard to whether or not the 5 foot street widening of Gregg
Avenue should be maintained. It was the Planning Commission's opinion that this 5
feet should be maintained.
Chairman Palmer read Resolution 8-64 from the City Council regarding amendments to
Ordinance No. 1239.
RESOLUTION 8-64
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS, TO -WIT:
SECTION 1.

special Council meeting, and take action upon the petition for amendment immediately
after the hearing.
SECTION 2.
That this matter is hereby referred to the planning commission with directions
that a public hearing be held as soon as possible on this proposal and that after
