The Fayetteville Plat Review Committee met at 3:30 P.M., Friday,
February 5, 1971, in the Directors Room, City Administration Building,
Fayetteville, Arkansas,
Present: Junior Parker, Paul Mattke, Harold Lieberena, Larry Wood.
Utility Representatives Present: Rip Lindsey, Herbert Holcomb, David
Tucker.
Developers & Engineers Present: Doyle Barnes, Gene Thrasher, Fred
Holden, & Mr. Wimberly from McClelland Engineers.
The first matter before the Committee was a proposal for division
of property by Doyle Barnes. Mr. Barnes wishes to divide his DOYLE BARNES
property into 3 large lots; he has ho plans to ever divide into
narrower lots. There were no problems with anyone present provided:
1. He dedicate a 10 ft. utility easement across the back of
the property.
2. He provide percolation tests on the property.
The above property is located on the North side of Highway 16 East
near Lake Sequoyah.
The next item before the Committee was a proposed replat of part
of Parkwood Addition, submitted by Fred Holden. Mr. Holden desires REPEAT OF PART OF
• to replat and close a dead-end street crooked through part of the PARKWOOD ADDITION
property so that he can go before the Planning Commission with a & PROPOSED LARGE
large scale development plan on a portion with houses on a private SCALE DEVELOPMENT
drive. Mr. Mattke said bringing the sewer in on Spruce Street would
be preferable to the original plan. Other suggestions and
requirements were as follows:
1. Retain existing utility.easement down West side of new Lot 4.
2. Design drainage facility to satisfy Mr. Mattke; check with
Junior Parker on this also.
3. Retain 20 ft. street dedication on Spruce Street.
4. Mr. Lieberens must check with City Attorney to see whether
an informal plat can be used to replat this subdivision and
close the street (Carla Drive). Larry Wood was of the
opinion it would be necessary to close the street by ordinance
since it is public property.
The possible paving of Spruce Street was discussed. Mr. Holden said
he would like to have it paved as far as his drive at least. It was
suggested he check with other property owners about the possibility of
an improvement district. There were no revisions to the submitted
large scale development plan.

Farm and on the East side of Leverett Avenue extended. Mr, Thrasher
said they propose 144 units on approximately 9J acres. He noted
a couple of changes in location of service buildings he planned.
He said he also hopes at a later date to locate a mobile hams park
on the extreme East part of this property and some other property
he owns South of Elm Street. This phase is not up for approval
today, but is mentioned so that utility representatives may plan
ahead. He stated he planned to improve Leverett Avenue to the
U. of A. farm, and Elm Street to Chestnut. The architect will
have the plans finished in about 60 days; FHA has told him he
is next in line for approval of financing; he expects to begin
construction in 6 months and have units ready for occupancy
in about 12 months. He plans bulk metering on all utilities.
The architect is designing individual outside storage units which
is supposed to look nice. Suggestions were as follows:
1. Telephone and Trans -Video representatives requested to
confer with architect on possibility of underground lines
and attachments inside buildings.
2. Larry Wood suggested as an alternative to improving Elm
Street that Mr. Thrasher dedicate enough width for a 60 ft.
Street on the North of the property to eventually tie in
with Township Road to the East. He felt this would be a
better location for an East-West street than Elm Street,
Since Mr. Thrasher owns property on both sides of Elm,
Mr. Wood thought perhaps Elm might even be vacated,
Mr. Thrasher approved of this suggestion.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 P.M.
