The first matter discussed was the Happy Hollow School Plans, being
processed through the Planning Commission as a conditional use request HAPPY HOLLOW SCHOOL
and a large scale development. Benny Winborn was present to represent Conditional Use
the school. The Plat Review Committee had earlier reviewed the plans L. S. Development
without a representative of the school being present on December 1, 1971.
Additional comments were as follows:
1. Jack Whitting: Ozarks Electric needs easement across the school
property to get back to the transformer location.
2. Clyde Terry: Discussed proposed TV outlets with Mr. Winborn,
Mr. Winborn thought they would only need two or three.
3. Benny Winborn: The School does not plan to extend Ray Street
north as a street. They do not plan to improve 4th Street back
to Happy Hollow Road. They have given some thought to trying
to go to the east along the schools south property line and
north along part of the east boundary line to get into some
kind of street lay out with Cummings and Goff (Red Arrow No. 3).
Mr. Winborn agreed to supply the easements requested December 1
and at the present meeting. He also agreed to submit proof
of "lot of record" to the Planning Office.
4. Clayton Powell: The Street Department had been led to believe
that.,the school was going to construct 4th Street as a City
street and also Ray Street and on that basis had been instructed
to improve Happy Hollow Road for the school. If the City Manager
approves of the school building a driveway off the end of Ray
Street, that is fine; however they need an improved street
into the school.
Paul Mattke, City Engineer and Water & Sewer Superintendent, had not
arrived. Mr. Winborn left.
The next matter discussed was the large scale development plan submitted
by Albert Miller. Mr. Miller was present. He is having to retire from
the automotive repair business because of health. He has constructed
a double garage with storage behind his house at 1863 South School and
wishes to work part time out of it. The property is zoned C-2 in front
and I-1 across the back. Comments were as follows:

the lot, and to construct a raised curb of not less than 6
inches in height along the entire street property line, except
for driveway opening.
Mr. Miller left.
Clayton Powell said that Mr. Howe, City Manager, had discussed with him POLICY
the situation of people building beyond dead end streets and cul-de-sacs. Private drives

easement which could be used as a point of service.
2. Clyde Terry: Trans -Video needs to come in off Gregg Avenue
to the center of building "b" and around on the south to the
center of building "all. When Mr. Sweetser does next phase,
they will again come off Gregg to the north side of the buildings.
3. Paul Mattke: Mr. Sweetser has added fill over a sewer line
covered by easement. If it is over 12 feet under the surface,
he must either remove the overburden or replace the line with
cast iron.
Requested topo of existing and finished grades.
Buildings Phase lb and Phase 2a need to be pulled back farther
from the sewer line. They need 15 to 20 feet clearance.
4. Clayton Powell: Felt driveway to the west should be moved in
60 ft. from the West property line, also it would balance the
location of the driveways. Mr. Sweetser must route drainage.

5. Harold Lieberenz: What is proposed height of buildings? Will
any exceed 20 ft? Identification sign would be limited to
10 sq. ft. by existing ordinance. Will either need 20 ft. of

Herbert Holcomb said he had been in contact with a nephew of L. C. Barnes L.C. BARNES
and thought he might assist him in getting the 25 ft. easement Mr. Holcomb
needed across the south of the Barnes property.
Paul Mattke stated that the dedication for Fourth Street into the Happy
Hollow School property is a right-of-way dedication and not a street HAPPY HOLLN SCH.

Mrs. Bobbie Jones
Planning Admin-strator
City of Fayetteville
Fayetteville, Ark. 72701
Reference: Happy Hollow School Site
Dear Bobbie:
In addition to comments I made prior to this, I wish to add
the following:
1. Recommend that 4th Street be opened and brought to minimum
street standards to include necessary base, asphalt wearing
surface, curbs and gutters. As this is a school site, recommend
sidewalks be included on both sides of this street. In addition
to this a drainage structure should be provided to prevent pond-
ing of water to the North of 4th Street,
2. Ray Street should be dedicated to extend to the North edge of
the school property as a future street and utility easement,
although I do not feel that they should be required at this time
to bring this to meet street standards unless they wish to do so.
3. Keeping in mind that compliance with the above is presently
being required on all developements, approval in this case would
be tantamount to aberrating our subdivision regulations. I,
therefore, must recommend disapproval of this plat, unless com-
pliance with the above recommendations is acceptable with the
School Board.
Yours truly,
