REZONING PETITION R75-23
Chairman Morton Gitelman opened the Ken Lazenby for Garlen Curry Estate
public hearing on Rezoning Petition R75-23, submitted by Ken Lazenby, Realtor, on
behalf of the Estate of Garlen E. Curry; Ronald W. Curry; Arlen Curry; 4 Gayle Bader
to rezone property located East of Deane Solomon Road, South of Moore Road, and
West of Williams' Ford Tractor Sales from A-1, Agricultural District, to R-2,
Medium Density Residential District.
Planning Consultant Larry Wood gave the Planning Report. He felt the Planning Com-
mission should decide whether or not the City wanted to encourage urban development
beyond the By-pass at this time before the part of the City inside the By-pass
"fills up ", and whether or not urban densities should be encouraged there when
services (utilities, streets, schools, etc.) are insufficient. He raised the question
of whether or not the density patterns as expressed in the General Plan should be
re-evaluated because of the City's financial situation and ever increasing costs and
good management practices.
Ken Lazenby, Realtor, was present to represent the Currys.
He said the location of this property lended itself well to access to Fayetteville,
Springdale, the University, and the:Northwest Arkansas Plaza. He said there was a
shortage of good building sites and he had found that a lot of people were wanting
to move to the Western part of the City. He said there was a sizeable acreage directly
to the North that was recently purchased by some investors from Springdale and he
felt they had something for housing in mind.
In answer to Mr. Jacks' question, Mr. Lazenby said there could be access on Moore Lane
but that the best access would be Mount Comfort Road.
Rita Davis asked Mr. Lazenby if he had considered R-1 rather than R-2; Mr. Lazenby
said this had been considered but felt R-1 was not as appropriate.
Mr. Lazenby told Commissioner Nickell that he had not talked personally with the
Guysingers but had talked with. Williams', Ford Tractor Sales.
Ernest Jacks told Mr. Lazenby that withthis size acreage in a R-2, he could build
approximately 516 units and pointed out what Planning Consultant Larry Wood had
brought up on how this would be handled.
Mr. Lazenby said this was not their intention: He said their intention was to try
to find some good lots for tax base for.the City and also for housing-.
Rita Davis commented that the road on the front of this property was very narrow.
Mr. Lazenby said they were going on theassumption that these roads would be
widened as well as the facilities beingextended. Mr. Lazenby felt that extending
facilities (at least water) in this direction would. be less costly because of the
Planning Commission -2-
November 11, 1975
contour of the land.
In answer to questions asked by some.o£ the Commissioners; Planning Consultant
Larry Wood said he felt that the Awl was; an appropriate.zone.£or property outside the
By-pass at the present time. He felt this was a matter of City policy they were
getting into and he was also concerned about developingoutside the By-pass. He felt
once the precedent was set, they would have to look at water and sewer, arid fire
protection. Hefelt they were no yet equipped to handle development outside the By-pass.
In answer to Mr. Kisor's- question, Mr., Wood said that the developer does have to bear
the cost of the extension of water and sewer and the internal streets, but there were
other services such as schools that needed to be considered.
Mr. Lazenby said the land was not now being used for the best use. He said this property
was not large -enough .to be used agriculturally and that it could be put to better use
if it were rezoned.
Chairman Gitelman was concerned in that if this rezoning petition were granted they would
not be able to deny the same on any property West of the By-pass. He said they were
actually being asked to change the Land Use Plan in considering this rezoning request.
John Maguire felt that the precedent outside the By-pass had already been set with the
Kelly Brothers housing developments (Johnson -Road and Centerbrook and with a 200 and
some unit apartment complex outside the By-pass. He felt the reasons given by Larry Wood
might not be valid ones to try to keep development inside the By-pass. Mr. Maguire felt
the R-2 would be a good buffer between the C-2 (Williams' Ford Tractor Sales).
Helen Edmiston asked Planning Consultant Larry Wood if they would have the same problem
if this were zoned R-1; Mr. Wood replied that they would but not with as much impact
as with R-2.
Donald Nickell said he thought this was the only undeveloped property from Moore Lane
South.and is a good piece of property. He said he would be opposed to R-2 because of
the traffic burden it would place on the access road but he would not be opposed to
R-1.
There was no one present.in opposition.
The public hearing was concluded.
John Maguire moved to recommend to the Board of Directors the approval of Rezoning
Petition R75-23, Ken Lazenby.
Bill Kisor seconded the motion which was approved 5-4 with Edmiston, Kisor, Ray, Power,
Maguire voting "Aye"; Nickell, Jacks, Davis, Gitelman voted "Nay".
The public hearing was opened on Rezoning Petition R75-24, REZONING PETITION R75-24
City of Fayetteville, to rezone property located East of City of Fayetteville
Shenandoah Mobile Home Park on the North side of - . .Lot 1, Industrial Park
15th Street (Highway 16 By-pass) from R-1, Low Density Residential District, to
I-1, Heavy Commercial $ Light Industrial District. This property is Lot 1 of the
Industrial Park
Larry Wood gave the Planning Report.
He said in light of the R-0 District recommendations in the General Plan, the I-1
Zoning could not be recommended. He said using the existing road, (Curtis Ave.)
which. splits the property East and West , C-1 District could be approved for the
Eastern section and R-0 District for the Western section and still stay within the
policies and principles reflected in the plan.
Dale Christy (Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce) was present to represent.
Mr. Christy.said the Chamber of Commerce had the responsibility.of disposing
of the land in the Industrial Parkand the way it was zoned they could not dispose
of this property. He said they had had some indications that an I-1 Zone might be
more practical. He said he felt they could '"live with!' Mr. Woodts recommendation for
C-1 East of Curtis Avenue and R..O.West of Curtis Avenue. He requested the Commission
to rezone it as- they saw best but to not.leave it R-1,
John Maguire felt that an I-1 usage would create less traffic at the entrance
of the apartments than the Neighborhood Commercial would (which is what Mr. Wood
recommended,for that corner).
Chairman Gitelman said what concerned him was that they did not have a proposal before

them and that they were putting Uthe cart before the horse..':'
Mr. Christy said he would like, for the.Planning Commission to go ahead and rezone this
to whatever zone suited it best.
Mr. Gitelman said if they went along with:Larry Woodts recommendation,it would give
them two parcels of land.
Mr. Christy commented that it'wastwo parcels already since the road divided it East
and West.'
No one was present to oppose; the public hearing was- concluded.
Ernest Jacks moved to recommend to the Board of Directors the rezoning.of the Eastern
section of Lot 1.of the Industrial Park to C-1 and the Western section to R-0 as Larry Wood
recommended.
The motion, seconded by Helen Edmiston, was approved unanimously.
Chairman Gitelman opened the public hearing on ' REZONING PETITIONR75-25
Rezoning Petition R75-25, Charles Cassat, to rezone Charles Cassat
property located at 90 West Township Road from 90 West Township Road
A-1, Agricultural District to C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial District.
Larry Wood gave the Planning Report. He pointed out an error in the report in that
the monument company and and parcel delivery service was all a part of the property
under application rather than being adjacent to it.
Charles Cassat was present to represent.
He told the Planning Commission he would like to have the property rezoned so he could
construct an additional building on the property.
In answer to Chairman Gitelman's question, Mr. Cassat said he would use part of the
building for his upholstering shop and he would rent the rest of the building. He
said he did not have any particular renter in mind at this time.
John Power was concerned about the increase in traffic that the approval of each
request along Township Road created. He said something would eventually have to be
done.
No one was present to oppose and the public hearing was concluded.
Donald Nickell moved to recommend to the Board of Directors the approval of
Rezoning Petition R75-25, Charles Cassat.
Helen Edmiston seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
REZONING PETITION R75-26
The public hearing was opened on Rezoning Petition R75-26, H. L. Mathias
H. L. Mathias, to rezone property located at 221 South Block 221 South Block Ave.
Avenue, from R-0, Residential Office District, to either C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial
District, or C-3, Central Commercial District.
Mr. Wood gave the Planning Report. He recommended that the City re-evaluate the future
land use policies related to this area and then this application can be judged against
that policy.
Sam $ James Mathias, sons of H. L. Mathias, were present to represent. One of them
said the land had been used for commercial use all these years (this is a non -conforming
use in the R-0 Zone), and in order to get a sign the property must be rezoned commercial.
There was no one present to oppose the request.
The public hearing was concluded.
Ernest Jacks agreed with. Larry Wood in that the use of the land was more of a concern
than the sign problem. He felt that it might be worthwhile to have Mr. Wood to make
a study of the General Plan in this area,
Mr. Wood said he was concerned about traffic safety because of the steep terrain onto
Arhcibald Yell.
In answer to Chairman Gitelman's question, Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones.said they
changed their sign without getting a permit. She stated she did not know if this was
one of the cases that could be appealed to the Board.of Directors or not.

After further discussions Ernest Jacks -moved to table Rezoning. Petition R75-26,
H, L, Mathias, and give them a chance.to go before the Board.of Directors with.a
request for a variance on the Sign Ordinances and if they could not.:get it appealed
they could -then come backto the`Planning Commission for the rezoning petition to be
considered.
Donald Nickell seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
The next item on the agenda was the public hearing REZONING PETITION R75-27
on Rezoning Petition R75-27,. Rodger Seratt, to rezone Rodger..Seratt
property located at 5 North WestcAvenue from R_0, 5.North West Avenue
Residential Office District, to C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial District.
(This property lies within the Urban Renewal Area.)
Rodger Seratt was present and before Larry Wood gave the Planning Report, Mr. Seratt
requested to be allowed to withdraw this rezoning request (Petition R75-27)
because of the letter from the Housing Authority (contained in this agenda) stating
that this property was within the Urban Renewal Area which required that this
property remain R-0 for a period of twenty years from the date that the City of
Fayetteville adopted the Urban Renewal Plan (October 19, 1975).
Ernest Jacks moved to allow the petitioner to withdraw Rezoning Petition R75-27,
Rodger Seratt.
John Power seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
Chairman Gitelman informed Mr. Seratt that because no public hearing had been held
he would be permitted to file another rezoning petition on any portion of this
property within 12 months.
The public hearing was opened on Rezoning Petition R75-28, REZONING PETITION R75-28
Rodger Seratt on behalf of Mrs. Elsie S. Reed, to Rodger Seratt on behalf
rezone property located on the Southeast corner of of
School Avenue and Mountain Street (just West of Central Elsie S. Reed
Tire Company) from R-0, Residential Office District School Ave. & Mountain St.
to C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial. District.
Larry Wood gave the Planning Report.
Mr. Wood felt the Planning Commission should restudy their policy for the area
surrounding the downtown and clarify which zoning districts would encourage
the development of that policy and then the rezoning request could be judged against
the policy.
Mr. Seratt was present to represent and said he would like to have the 'property
rezoned to permit him to park used cars there that he would have for sale.
He said he had a service station and repair shop across the street from this
property. Mr. Seratt showed the Planning Commission a petition signed by the
sourrounding neighbors stating they were not opposed to this use.
He said the lot was 75 feet wide and the setbacks required by ordinance amounted
to 80 feet. He said this was a level lot and this would be a good usage for the
property.
There was no one present in opposition.
The public hearing was concluded.
Ernest Jacks was in favor of a restudy since
did not go along with. the City Plan in order
with the City's Plan,
Mr. Wood said they were piece mealing zoning
doing.
Chairman Gitelman said this was already mixed usage and felt the Planning Commission
should deal with. the properties on an indivudual basis, He said this was an example
of a lot that could not be utilized for.the existing zoning classification simply
because it was too small a parcel and the location was not suitable. He said he
would be in favor of basically approving.this request and authorize. Larry Wood to
start a study on this but felt it would be better to wait until a decision was made on
where the C-4 (Downtown) Zoning District would go.
Urban Renewal contained some things that
to get the Urban Renewal Plan working
without really knowing what they were

November 11, 1975
Bill Kisor asked Rodger Seratt if the names, on the petition were property owners
or renters,
Mr. Seratt said the property owners were indicated on the petition.
Helen Edmiston commented that the last time Mr. Seratt appeared.be£ore the
Planning Commission he submitted names that were renters rather than property owners.
John Power moved to recommend to the Board of Directors the approval ,of
Rezoning Petition R75-281 RodgerSeratt and see this on a case by case"basis.
Jack Ray seconded the motion whichwas approved 8-1 with Bill Kisor opposing.
Next was a request from Bill w; Graue for a rehearing on his Bill W. Graue
conditional use request for duplexes in an R-1 Zone on Duplex Conditional Use
Elm Street when all of the Planning Commission members Elm'Street
could be present to vote for or against the request.-- Individuals previously notified
on this case were again mailed copies of this agenda. According to the Planning
Commission By-laws, the unanimous consent of all Commissioners present is required
to rehear this matter.
Mr. Graue was present.
He told the Planning Commission that he had talked to the City Attorney and he told him
he could request a re -hearing or take it to Court. Mr. Graue said he did not want
to take it to Court. If the Planning Commission ,voted not to have a re -hearing this
would end it.
Denver Hutson and several other people were present to oppose the request if it was
decided to be scheduled for a re -hearing.
Two of the Planning Commission members, Donald Nickell and John Maguire who were not
present at the meeting when Mr. Graue's request was heard, said they had no objections
to re -hearing the case.
Chairman Gitelman called for a vote.
Those voting in favor of a re -hearing were Maguire, Jacks, Nickell, Edmiston, and
Kisor. Opposed were Power, Gitelman, and Ray.
There was no rehearing.
RODGER SERATT
Next was a request to change a non -conforming Change of Non -Conforming Use
use of property at 545 West Center Street from 545 West Center Street
warehouse (formerly occupied by Capitol Tobacco Company) to auto repair $ body shop
submitted by Rodger C. Seratt. This was tabled at the October 28th meeting since no
one was present to represent.
Mr. Seratt was present.
Commissioner Kisor asked Rodger Seratt if he was not already using this property for
an auto repair $ body shop; Mr. Seratt admitted that he was.
Ernest Jacks called attention to the fact that Mr. Seratt had done this once before.
He then asked him how he thought an auto repair and body shop would be a.less
intensive use than Capitol Tobacco Company. Mr. Jacks felt there would be a lot of
noise with the cars being worked on.
Rodger Seratt admitted that by his own interpretation of the ordinance he thought
this usage was less intense than the warehousing.
Chairman Gitelman asked Mr. Seratt where he would be putting the cars that were waiting
to be worked on.
Rodger Seratt said he would be leasing the land around the building in addition to
the building itself. He pointed out on the drawing in the agenda where he could put
the cars on the property and pointed out that they would be hidden by trees on one
side of Gregg. He said behind the building on the backby the railroad tracks the
cars would be hidden. He said there might be about 40 feet of visibility where the
cars would be parked.
Mr. Paul Sanders (property owner across from the concerned property to the North)
was present and stated that there was some noise involved in Mr. Seratt's usage
of the property, but that it did not bother him.
Bill Kisor asked about the surrounding property owners.
Mrs. Edmiston said she was interested in knowing what the property owners thought
of this.

November 11, 1975
She said the names on the petition were renters..
John Maguire.said it was his opinion.that this use was amore intense one than the
warehousing., He said Mr, Seratt had at one time alleged to be working to get funds
to go Back to law school. Mr, Maguire said Rodger Seratt seemed to take the attitude
that he could "hop" and them come down and talk to the Planning Commission to have
it approved. He felt the Planning Commission should "increase his learning" and
suggest that he move out.
Donald Nickell agreed with this. He told Mr. Seratt that every citizen had to
conform to the regulations.
-
Rodger Seratt said he realized 'he should have had this approved before occupying
the building. He then mentioned rezoning the property, and Mrs. Edmiston felt
that the railroad (owners of the property). -might go along with a rezoning and should
be the ones to petition to have it rezoned.
Mr. Gitelman said this was a matter of the Planning Commission trying to decide if
this were a less intensive use than the warehousing.
Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones said automotive services (including body shops)
was in Use Unit 17 and is permitted in C-2, and I-1 as a "use by right" and 'on
appeal to the Planning Commission in C-3. Warehousing is listed in Use Unit 21 and ,
is permitted in I-1 and I-2 as a "use by right" and on appeal to the
Planning Commission in C-2.
John Power felt it would depend on the type of warehousing whether or not the use
was more or less intense.
Mr. Power said if this request had been in any other part of the City he would have
agreed with the feelings expressed by John Maguire and Donald Nickell. He said,
however, there had been no complaints in this area.
John Power then moved to approve the non -conforming use as requested by Rodger Seratt
for property at 545 West Center Street.
Rita Davis seconded the motion which failed 5-4.
Power, Edmiston, Davis, and'Ray voted "Aye"; Jacks,
Nickell voted "Nay".
The next item for consideration was the Large
Scale Development Plan submitted by Charles Cassat
property located at 90 West Township Road.
Ernest Jacks gave the Subdivision Committee Report. He said 20 feet of additional
right-of-way was needed for Township Road, the Sanitation Department had certain
requirements and it was understood that there was a property description problem.
Also the City Engineer indicated there might be some trouble getting to the sewer.
Mr. Cassat was present to represent.
He told the Planning Commission the way he understood it, he had the 24 feet that
was being questioned. (There is an overlap in the description of this property
and that of Mr. Pennington's to the East
Mr. Jacks felt that Mr. Cassat and the other property owner should get a surveyor
out there to try to straighten this out, even though it should not have any effect
on whether or not this large scale development plan is approved.
Mr. Cassat said he thought this was measured from an old fence and he did not know
if a survey would help.
Ernest Jacks moved to recommend to the Board of Directors the approval of the
Large Scale Development Plan contingent on obtaining 20 feet of right-of-way
to meet the Major Street Plan; providing whatever is requested by City officials
regarding sanitation and utilities._
John Power asked if there was some way that access could be onto Johnson Road
(this would be from the rear of the properties along the North side of Township).
Bill Kisor said there was a creek there and this would be difficult.
Some of the Commissioners felt that this road would be widened eventually.
Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones..pointed out that this was a State Highway.
The motion, seconded by Helen Edmiston, was approved unanimously.

Next was a condtiOnal use request and large WOODLAND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
scale development plan to construct a gymnasium at Conditional Use. Request
Woodland Junior High.School, Poplar Street and ; Large Scale Development
Woodland Avenue,.
Ernest Jacks gave the Subdivision Committee Report.
He said there had been some comments made by the Street Superintendent concerning
drainage.
City Engineer Paul Mattke had said the water and sewer service shown going to
Woodland Avenue would not work. Mr. Mattke had said there.was no sewer there and
the water line is too small. He suggested that they either plan to tie into the
existing water and sewer facilities for the Junior High School or go around the
main building to get to the mains in Poplar Street.
Mr. Jacks said the only other problem brought up in the Subdivision Committee
meeting was the matter of setbacks. He said the plans showed approximately 8 feet
to a chain link fence on the South with Washington County School for Traniable
Children indicated South of the fence.
He pointed out that setback of gymnasiums (non-residential uses in R Districts)
requires 100 feet if fully air-conditioned and 200 feet if not fully air-conditioned.
(The Planning Commission may vary this requirement on review of a large scale
development plan.)
Harry Vandergriff (Superintendent of the school) was present to represent.
He told the Planning Commission that there was definitely a drainage problem in this
area that needed to be corrected. He pointed out, however, that the drainage problem
came from a wide area and would not be increased with this building. He felt that
this should not be a requirement on their part.
He said the water and sewer problem had been'worked out and stated that the 8 feet
that was shown on the site plan was correct.
In answer to Mr. Jacks' question, Mr. Vandergriff said the activities of this
gymnasium would not be within 100 feet of any building except their .own.
Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones said the only other problem on zoning was the
parking requirement of one space for every 1200 square feet and a layout for the
parking was not shown.
Mr. Vandergriff said they would not be increasing their parking needs since they
would be making a cafeteria out of the other gymnasium and building a new one.
He said they willdhaue:a larger seating5capacityuiftthis-gymnasium than'they had in
the other one.
Mr. Jacks commented that this is probably what the Planning Administrator
based her parking requirements on.
Mrs. Jones (Planning Administrator) said she had a parking requirement for a
junior high school and also a parking requirement for the gymnasium.
She explained that the ordinance required the parking for additions to any
existing building or any new building and only the Board of Adjustment could waive
the parking requirements.
She also pointed out that both. Woodland Avenue and Poplar Street were presently
40 foot widths and they were proposed as 50 foot wide streets on the Major Street Plan.
Therefore, 5 feet of additional right-of-way was: needed.
Ernest Jacks moved to recommend the approval of the Large Scale Development Plan and
to: (1) Waive the setbackfrom this building to the adjacent residential property.
(2) Obtain 5 feet of additional right' of -way on Woodland Avenue, but not on
Poplar Street. (3) They satisfy the City Ordinance (Zoning) regarding parking
requirements.
Mr. Vandergriff said he did not mind giving the 5 feet of additional right-of-way
but inquired as to why the school adjacent to them was not required to dedicate
any additional right-o£.way.
Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones`said,if she remembered correctly it was approved
on the.original plan for two phases';of development and the last construction was
the second phase. This was all approved before the right-of-way was added to the
ordinance as a requirement.
The motion was seconded by Helen Edmiston and approved unanimously.
Mrs. Jones said she would need to see a layout on the parking.
Planning Commission -8-
November 11, 1975 -
ASSOCIATED PRODUCE, INC.
The next item was a large scale development plan (United-Bilt Homes)
submitted by Associated Produce, Inc., for property '.Highway 71'North
on the East side of Highway 71 North_just East ,of .the intersection with Johnson Road
and West of Lake Fayetteville to he used for model home display. (Highway 71, North
of the intersection with. Highway 71 Bytpass,is designated "controlled access" and
requires dedication of right-of-way for and provision for construction of a service
road )
Mr. Jacks reported that dedication of the access road and a contract was needed. He said
they didn't have any comments from SWEPCO, but otherwise everything seemed alright.
Don Pitts was present to represent and explained the exact location of the property.
Ernest Jacks moved to recommend the approval of the Large'Scale Development subject
to the dedication and contract on the access road (to the North property line) and that
SWEPCO be satisfied regarding easements needed.
The motion,seconded by Chairman Gitelman, was approved unanimously.
ORDINANCE 1661
Next was a letter from City Attorney Jim McCord dated Controlled Access Highway
September 10, 1975, suggesting an amendment to the
Controlled Access Highway Ordinance, (Ordinance 1661, Section 18-13, Fayetteville Code of
Ordinances) as well as to the Major Street Plan to place service roads required under
Ordinance 1661 on the Major Street Plan. This was tabled September 23, 1975, at the
request of Director Morris Collier, and is on this agenda at the request'of City Attorney
Jim McCord and City Manager Don Grimes.
In answer to Mr. Jacks' question, Planning Consultant Larry Wood said they had a plan
showing the access roads but that it needed to be finalized and it also needed to be a
part of the Major Street Plan. He explained that this was on the By-pass plan but it was
not advertised as an amendment to the Major Street Plan.
After further discussion Ernest Jacks moved to schedule for public hearing for December 9,
1975, and to ask Larry Wood to prepare the necessary map.
Rita Davis seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS
The last item on the agenda was the Board of Directors' referral of recommendations of
"task force" back to the Planning Commission for the Commission to schedule a public
hearing on the recommended amendment to the procedure for processing a large scale
development.
Mr. Jacks said he attended the Board of Directors meeting when this was discussed and
there was a good deal of concern that if the large scale development process stopped with
the Subdivision Committee that it would essentially by-pass the public as far as
announcements of the meeting. They felt that if this was done a provision should be put
in there for the Subdivision Committee meetings to be publicized in some fashion.
He said it would not actually be a public hearing, but the public could attend if they
wished to dorso. He said they also felt that all adjacent property owners should be
notified and that the petitioner or objector should have the right to ask that it be
taken to the Planning Commission.
He said the Subdivision Committee would have a greater responsibility to do the right
thing and he felt they should start insisting that these things really not be brought
in unless every requirement was settled on it.
Ernest Jacks moved to schedule a public hearing on the proposed revision of the
ordinance as soon as it is drafted.
Rita Davis seconded the motion.
The motion was approved unanimously.
Commissioner Edmiston requested that a.public hearing be scheduled OTHER BUSINESS
to delete the 10 foot setback requirement.between dwellings and detached accessory
buildings.
The motion•,which was seconded by Ernest'Jacks,was approved unanimously.
There was no further business.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:35 P. M.
