MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING
The Fayetteville Plat Review Committee met at 3:45 P.M., Friday,
March 12, 1971, in the Directors Room, City Administration Building,
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Present: Paul Mattke, Harold Lieberenz, Larry Wood, Wesley Howe.
Utility Representatives Present: Jerry Wade (Southwestern Bell Telephone),
Rip Lindsey,
Engineers & Developers: Wells Bone, Jerry Sonderegger.
Mr. Lieberenz asked Mr. Mattke and the utility companies to check the
submitted plat of Shenandoah Mobile Home Park to determine if all
easements they needed were shown and advise him at the next meeting.
Wells Bone was present on behalf of the preliminary sketch submitted
by Kelley Brothers on Brookside Addition. He said the purpose in BROOKSIDE ADD,
submitting the sketch was to solve a question about what to do on
the Township line. The Committee briefed Mr. Bone on the meeting held
a week previously. The telephone company would need an easement to
get into the area from Township Road and Old Wire Road intersection;
the electric company needs an easement into the property off Colette
Avenue; and Paul Mattke asked if the ROW leading to Highway 265
could be moved to the South along the Township line. Mr. Bone said
the same person does not own all the way to the Township Line, so
• it could not be. Mr. Lieberenz asked Mr. Bone if they had any
objection to dedicating a 60 ft. ROW for Township Road.
Larry Wood explained to Wells Bone the basis for the planned unit
concept permitted in the present City regulations. He said he was
anxious to have someone try it in Fayetteville. Although, it envisions
a different development process from the standard lot and block design,
there is no change in marketing technique. The developer could still
sell individual homes but would have several advantages•, such as:
1. Restrictions for setbacks and yard requirements could be
relaxed.
2. Hopefully reduce overall unit cost.
3. Can reduce linear footage of streets and utilities. (Mr. Wood
was trying to include the proposed collector street as a part
of the development.)
4. With 20 acres under standard subdivision, you can probably expect
3 or 3.2 lots per acre. Planned unit development would enable
the developer to develop to the maximum density allowed. Could
probably double the number of units.
5. Can cut lot size down to exactly the size of the house if desired
and move rest of square footage per unit into common open space.
The common open space would be maintained through a home owners association
with maintenance tied to the mortgage payments. Mr. Wood said this has
been successful in practically all cities that have tried it. He said
FHA and HUD favor this type development.
Everyone present expressed approval of the concept and said they would
favor it personally. It was suggested that if this is pursued, a portion
of the open space be developed before the dwelling units are begun.

There was considerable discussion around the type of common space
that could be developed within such a development.

Paul Mattke had some comments regarding Wayne Hinkle Mobile Home Park:
1. Check with Junior Parker on curb section and recommend HINKLE MOBILE
they go to standard configuration. HOME PARK
2. Need detail on sewer connection on riser and how it will be
plugged.
3. Water service is required by ordinance to be 30 inches deep and
water mains 36 inches deep.
4. There are a lot of utilities in a narrow area. This can be
worked out, but must co-ordinate utilities. Suggest adding
typical detail standardizing location of each utility in these
easements.
5. Easements will need to be provided for all utilities.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:40 P.M.
