The matter for consideration at this meeting was a large scale MAYFLOWER INVEST -
development plan submitted by Mayflower Investment Company for MENT COMPANY
property located on the East side of College Avenue, between Byron Boyd, Agent
Harold Street and Rolling Hills Drive. The property is also College & Harold
proposed to be divided into at least two separate ownerships also; L.S.Development
so a subdivision waiver will also be'necessary. Comments and
requirements were as follows:
Arnold Christie: Need an easement to come from East property
line into the K -Mart area with an easement.
2. Jack Whitting: Ozarks electrical will serve apartments,
K -Mart and food outlet. Existing line runs down east side
of this total property. Mr. Whitting showed Mr. Boyd and
Mr. Wimberly where he needed easements.
3. Clyde Terry: Requested easements be brought all the way
between the rows of houses running east and west and also
between the houses and commercial properties.
4.02David Tucker: Facilities presently located on the NW corner
of the Malco Theater property. Requested easement in grass
area North of the theater 20 ft. wide. Also requested easement
71 ft. either side of line between K -Mart and residential,
easement 15 ft, wide behind apartments (each row), 7j ft.
wide from Rollings Hills Drive North to apartments along
boundary between this property and Trinity Temple,
5. Charles McWhorter: Questioned how many fire hydrants were
proposed. Mr. Wimberly said this has not all been settled
yet. K -Mart wants two and will sprinkle. Mr. McWhorter
said fire hydrants are needed in the residential areas also.
Requested at least the East drive between K -Mart and the
office area be kept open to traffic.
6. Herbert Holcomb: SWEPCO has a main power feeder going up
the East side of Highway 71 and the South side of Harold
Street and can reach what they will serve. If anything
special is needed, they will work with the owner.
Larry Wood: Four comments ----(1) Seems desirable to try
to develop commercial frontage road across this piece of
property that hopefully will tie with Millsap and the
3-15-72 -2- 106
Arkansas Western Gas road with possible signalization at
Rolling Hills Drive.
• (2) It looks like time to improve Harold Street,with the
increased emphasis it will need some improvement.
(3) It looks desirable to try to put some direction on some
of these openings. Suggested that the North opening in
back of K -Mart be a left turn only to keep traffic out of
the residential area to the East.
(4) Think you may have some opposition at the public hearing
for deioning the proposed apartment area. He suggested
flopping the plan to get the drive away from the single
family homes to the East and suggested a green area between
the single family and apartments. He also suggested they
consider going two story on the apartments to provide more
green space,
If the frontage road is not feasible, he suggested right
turns only on some of the access points on College,
B. Clayton Powell: Requested developer develop Harold Street
with curb, gutter, etc. to the centerline from College
Avenue through this development. The City owns the property
on the North side where the fire station is. The City would
pay its share. Suggested improvement district to get both
sides of the street improved including storm sewers, The
Arkansas Highway Department is improving Highway 71 with
four lanes, curb, gutter, storm sewer and catch basins
and will improve the intersection also,
The purpose of requesting a frontage road is to create
• traffic safety. Recommended signalization of Rolling Hills
Drive,
(4)• David Tucker: Additional comment -.Southwestern Bell Telephone
has a buried cable that crosses the highway to the North
about 245 feet South of the NW corner of the pancake house
property and runs North to Harold Street right-of-way and
then goes East along Harold Street the total length of the
project,
9. Harold Lieberenz: Letters are on file with the City from
property owners to the East who are concerned about drainage
on this property. Asked about old sewer lift station on
the property. Screening fence required between the parking
lot and the Church property and between parking and residential
zoning across the street. Also pull parking 5 feet off the
property line along the Church property.
Ervan Wimberly of McClelland Engineers and Byron Boyd, Agent for
Mayflower Investment Company were present. Mr. Boyd said he plans
to flume the strip between K -Mart and the apartments. All the drives
shown will be private drives, with no streets. He wanted all electrical
service on the property to be underground. Mr. Wimberly said flopping
the apartment plan and putting the drive to the West of the apartments
would put their entrance against the trash area of K -Mart. He said
• they had done a drainage survey of the property. The Arkansas Highway
Department will extend the South box but will not enlarge it. The
developer will replace the culvert across Harold Street and drain
3-15-72 -3- 107
it into the box on the North side of Harold Street, Both Mr, Boyd
and Mr. Wimberly said there is 60 ft, of ROW existing on Harold
• Street. Mr. Boyd requested that trees and landscaping be permitted
instead of screening parking across the street from residential districts.
Mr. Boyd said he felt that if he could get K -Mart to go along with
the improvement of Harold Street the request for a frontage road
on College Avenue should be waived.

Clayton Powell asked that the landscaping shown not be in the street
ROW but be located on the private property, He also said he was
willing to compromise on the frontage road request, if he could get
Harold Street property developed.
A. D. McAllister, Attorney,was present. He requested the City vacate
the platted easement across the South side of Lot 4, Block 1, Oakland
Hills Addition. He said the easements on Lots 1, 2, and 3 have already
been vacated and promised to submit a copy of the instrument to the
Planning Office.

plan submitted on behalf of Whit Chevrolet, Inc. for property on
the Southwest corner of Township Road and College Avenue. Comments
were as follows:

is. Requested 20 ft. easement along the West side.
2. Clyde Terry: No problems.
3. Clayton Powell: Will give comments later.
