He insisted that the City retain public dedications on East side He is opposed to closing any public alleys or dedications at this location that the City might need to control surface drainage in this area. Mr. Sherrill stated that petitions to close public dedi- cations had already been submitted to the City Clerk. He realizes that drainage is an acute problem here. Mr. Sherrill requested that he::and Mr. Powell meet on the site and study the situation. 2. Harold Lieberenz: Is the driveway off of Garland adjacent to another driveway for the property to the South. Mr. Sherrill stated that driveway on the south existed at the present. This driveway is the driveway for existing lane or drive for church and Thomas residence. The building setbacks shown on south and east would( not be adequate as shown if public dedications are not vacated. 3. Paul Mattke: He understood that property owners had requested that the public dedications be closed and that public easements would be retained when he sent letter stating that the Water and Sewer Dept. had no objections to closing public dedications. There is pbulic sewer available near SW corner on Highway 112. A City water main is located on the west edge. He also brought out that in his opinion without having a topic map available for review that the property lying to the North and east of this proposed. project in the future would have to drain through this property, and easements would be needed. 4. Jim Miller: The telephone will need five foot easements, but 7 Page 2 Plat Review Meeting Minutes Feb. 21, 1973 would like to have fifteen (15) feet easements all the way around the complex and where the company branches off to each building. 5. Clyde Terry: There would be needed twentyKfoot)(20) utility easements on the south side where Transvideo has an existing television cable if other utility companies plan to run along the south side also., roe roto 6. Larry Wood: Asked where the University Experimental Farm 412 property lies in relation to this proposed "Century 21" project. Sherrill stated that there was a strip of one hundred and four feet north of the project to the U of A farm. Is,;' It was brought out that Major Street Plan indicated a collector iii, street (80 ft. R.O.W.) was planned through this north part of this 104 ft. strip. Powell indicated that if this proposed collector street is to be built, the drainage easement along the east side will definitely be needed for drainage. 11 7. Charles McWhorter: Asked if there was a way to get a vehicle such as a fire truck alongthe south side of the project. When Sherrill indicated that there was adequate room for this, McWhorter stated that there will need to be No Parking with signs by fire hydrants throughout the project. 8. Jack Whitting: Stated that "Century 21" wished to bring in the in power to one point in one mechanical building and have one elec- ,ct tric meter at that point to serve all the buildings in the proposed apartment complex. He stated that the electric company had not, at this time, received a commission ruling yet on this request. He stated that underground electrical service would be provided. 9. Wallace Brt: Stated that;the_type of garbage disposal was left entirely up to the owner of "Century 21", however, he stated that the City pays half of the cost of lodal containers, should they decide to go with the lodal method. Concrete pads with pipe railings around pads upon which the small garbage cans would be placed should the owner decide to go to the small garbage can method. Powell questioned the width of the sidewalks planned for the project. Mattke further stated that he needed more time to check out to see how the serving of the adjacent undeveloped properties to the East with water and sewer in the future would effect the city's need for easements across this project. The next matter for discussion was a Large Scale Development Plan submitted by Ervin Wimberely of McClelland Engineering Firm. This development plan involves a proposed 111 unit motel complex of four buidlings with swimming MOTEL "6" pool, called Motel "6", with comments and requirements as follows: N.College n L.S.Development ISG /, '1 ,i 0) Page 3 Plat Review Minutes Feb. 21, 1973 No one was present at this time to represent the developer of this project; Ervin Wimberely arrived later in the meeting to discuss the project with the committee. 1. Wallace Brt: Suggested that the developer should consider the lodal method of garbage disposal. This method requires about 60 ft. turning radius for the truck to maneuver, and he requests deletion of, 2 "off street" parking, spaces adjacent to lodal location to - provide ample room for maneuvering. If developer plans small garbage can method, then he must provide concrete pads enclosed with pipe railing for these garbage cans to sit on. 2. Larry Wood: No comments. 3. Clayton Powell: Developers must obtain curb or driveway permit from the Arkansas State Highway Department at Springdale. Surface drainage seems to be controlled. 4. Jim Miller: No comments. 5. Clyde Terry: Questioned if there was a utility chaseway between the motel units of the structure. 6. Herbert Holcomb: No problems - electrical facilities already in this area. 7. Paul Mattke: Developer must stay twenty-five (25) feet or more away from high pressure gas'line. Developers need to provide a 25 ft. easement adjacent to and along the Highway 71 as well as a 25 ft. North-South easement along the west edge of the project to provide service for Building "D". Need an agreement with developer that if future excavation is needed for sewer repairs, that the developer will pay increase cost of replacing the parking lot pavement surface. City water main is located along Highway 71, however, he cautioned that the City water main pressure was high and they would need to install pressure regulators. B. Charles McWhorter: No problems.

Larry Wood: Requested that he submit his comments first, as they might affect comments and decisions of the other committee members. A discussion followed the comments of Larry Wood and.it was decided to delay any further action on this request -at this time. The matter was tabled by the Plat Review Committee until such time someone could meet with the committee. 1 'lo The fourth matter discussed was the Large Scale Development of Elkhart Products Corporation submitted by Jack Burge Construction Co. This development plan involves a proposal to build a 40 ft. by 60 ft. addition on the south end of their existing Industrial Building with a larger expansion proposed in the future. ELKHART PRODUCTS CORP. S. School Avenue No one was present to discuss the project with the committee. L. S. Development 1. Wallace Brt: No comments. 2. Larry Wood: Questioned whether or not the existing R.O.W. width of Highway 71 at this location meets with the City Major Street Plan. 3. Paul Mattke: Stated that the R.O.W. was not eighty (80) ft wide as called for by the M.S.P. and additional R.O.W. should be obtained at this time. City Plumbing Code requires that an acceptable reduced pressure back flow preventor be installed at the plant. Suggests that a larger size be considered at this time to take care of future planned plant expan— sion. 4. Clayton Powell: Stated the need for obtaining additional Highway R.O.W. at this time. He pointed out that the city is a ward of the State, but here the State of Arkansas prevails on the City to provide any R.O.W. needed for any highway widening projects. The pond on the property should not be filled as this drainage datch and system is a natural flow to take care of natural drainage from adjacent properties. Powell requested of Harold Lieberenz that everyone presenting a Large Scale Development of any type submit a;topo) map with its proposal so that the committee can more accurately study surface drainage problems. 5. Jim Miller: No Comments. 6. Clyde Terry: No Comments. 7. Herbert Holcomb: No comments. 8. Charles McWhorter: No comments. • Page 5 Plat Review Minutes Feb. 21, 1973 9. Jack Whitting: No comments. 10.
