Present: Paul Mattke, Clayton Powell, Wallace Brt, Bobbie Jones.
Utility Representatives Present: Frank O'Donnell, David Tucker, Clyde Terry.
Developers and/or Engineers: James A Pennington.
For discussion today was a proposed large scale development plan PENNINGTON CONST. CO
submitted for property on Township Road by Pennington Construction L.S.Development
Company. James A. Pennington was present. Comments were as follows: Township Rd.
1.
Wallace Brt: Encouraged Mr. Pennington to use lodal containers
for sanitation service. Mr. Pennington said what they will have
in the way of refuse will be primarily scraps of wood, sawdust,
and that sort of thing, and asked if the sanitation department
would pick them up. Mr. Brt said they would provided they are'
cut so they are not over 2 to 21 feet in length. Mr. Brt asked
if there would be any steel or sheet metal scraps. He said they
would pick up sheet metal. He asked to have the container on a
concrete platform of some type. Mr. Pennington said they do not
intend a loading dock as such, the back of the building will just
be high enough that you can back a truck up to it. He asked if they
could put the lodal on wheels and roll it inside, then roll it back
outside to empty it. Mr. Brt preferred to have it stationary as
it would be easier for his department to pick up. He said it takes
a 60 ft. or larger radius to turn the tender truck around and said
there seems to be plenty of room on the plot plan.
) Clayton Powell;) Township Road as it exists is 40 ft. in right-of-way.
Under the existing Major Street Plan it is a major arterial; under the
proposed it will become a minor arterial requiring 80 ft. of right-of-way.
It is our policy to request the developer to dedicate half of the
needed right-of-way. Mr. Pennington asked if he could give an
easement rather than a deed. Mr. Powell said he would prefer that
the right-of-way be dedicated. Also, driveway permits will have to
be obtained from the Arkansas Highway Department. Mr. Pennington
said he had talked to them and had given them a certified check on
this and that the driveways as shown were what they had specified.
Mr. Powell said he noticed an 18 inch tile on the East driveway and
Nat a Swale on the West one. Mr. Pennington said that is what the
Highway Department required. Mr. Powell felt that if one is needed
on the East driveway, one would be needed on the West one also.
Mr. Pennington said he could not see any advantage to having one in
either driveway. After further discussion, Mr. Powell said he would
call Dale Kendall with the Arkansas Highway Department and discuss
this with him. Regarding rechannelization of the drainage ditch,
Mr. Pennington said all he planned to do was straighten it out some.
Mr. Powell asked that he go ahead and ma -e that a 20 ft. drainage
easement. Mr. Pennington said he is going to trade some property
with Luther Flora in straightening out the ditch. Mr. Powell said
that after the drainage ditch is developed the City will maintain it
if it is dedicated to the City, but that until it is developed and
dedicated there is nothing they can do. A 20 ft. easement is necessary
to get the City's equipment dawn through there.

Establish drainage grade and channel all drainage back to the tile
on the back and put in a catch basin. Mr. Pennington said he did
not have in mind putting in a hard surface except in front. He said
on the question of the dedication of right-of-way, he would do whatever
is necessary to get that thing cleared.
Need a drainage easement for the creek across the back 30 ft. in
width.
3. David Tucker: Fayetteville -Springdale toll cable runs down the front
of this property approximately 4 ft. deep. Call the telephone company
and they will come out when Mr. Pennington gets ready to put in his
water line across there. Facilities to serve this are buried in front
with that toll cable. We will have to get in there and dig it up to
serve this. They would like to do this at the point between the area
for immediate development and the area remaining to the East not being
developed. This would make it easier when that area does develop.
The telephone company would like to have Mr. Pennington install a 2 inch
conduit out from under the blacktop to the building. They would like
to put a terminal inside the building to handle phones from anywhere
in the building. Mr. Tucker suggested the East side door as a good
location. They will furnish and install a metal box 15 inches wide
and 54 inches high where the conduit comes up to serve the phones.
4. Clyde Terry: Mr. Pennington told Mr. Terry they did not anticipate
needing TV cable service. Mr. Terry suggested he might want to go
ahead and put in a 14 inch conduit alongside the telephone conduit
so they could provide service in the future if it is wanted. There
is no cable service there at this time, but there will be in the future.
If the conduit is not put in now, they can just put in a drop later.
5. Paul Mattke: Water service is no problem—water is on the other side
of the road. He will have to cross the highway with water.
Mr. Pennington suggested bringing the water across at the same point
the telephone will come out of the groiind
Mr. Mattke said there is a sewer line in back. It is very rocky
ground; he could not guarantee they could get deep enough to get under
the creek and get into the sewer. He suggested they use cast iron to
cross the creek with the sewer. He recommended the floor elevation
of the building be at least 1 ft. higher than therbank of the creek.
A pressure regulator will be needed on the water as the water pressure
has about 350 ft. of head on it.
6. Frank O'Donnell: Mr. Pennington said he wanted enough gas service to
keep the chill off the building and heat an office. Mr. O'Donnell said
they are a little West of this location. He is to check its location
out further.
7. Herbert Holcomb was not present but had called to say all the details
of power service had been worked out with Mr. Pennington.
8. Bobbie Jones: A Board of Adjustment variance will be needed on the
setback from street right-of-way. Any sign must conform to the
sign regulations. Need at least one truck berth 10 ft. by 30 ft.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 P.M.
