April 25, 1973, in the Directors Room, City Administration Building,
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Present: Wally Brt, PatMcGedrick, Charles McWhorter, Bobbie Jones,
Utility Representatives Present: David Tucker, Clyde Terry, Frank
O'Donnell
Developers and/or Engineers: Don Hunnicutt, with Brennan -Boyd Const.
Co.
For discussion today was the plot plan for the proposed Armstrong
Brothers Tool Co., a L.S.D. plan to be located in the Industrial
Park. Don Hunnicutt, representative of the construction company.
on the project was present. Comments were as follows:
rqv
ARMSTRONG BROTHERS
TOOL COMPANY
Industrial Park
L.S. Development
1. Wally Brt: Mr. Brt stated that he needed to talk to the
representatives of the company, before he could assure them
whether he would be able to serve this facility at all. He
was concerned that the type of refuse might be such as would
damage his tender trucks. If service can be given, he will try
to serve the building with lodal containers, and asked that
before they construct any type of pads or anything, that they
have the Armstrong plant manager contact him and discuss the
type of containers needed. I£ lodal containers are to be used,
the pads should not be less than 6 inches thick and of concrete
construction. There will need to be plenty of room for maneuver-
ing, and they need to set the containers in a location where there
aren't any wires overhead, or where the building does not overhang.
Also, they need to be sure that the area will not be blocked by
parkingi Mr. Brt again asked that the Armstrong manager contact
him to discuss the sanitation services.
2. Pat McGedrick: Clayton Powell, Street Supt., is on vacation, and
Pat McGedrick represents the Street Dept. At the driveway entrance,
they will need to have at least twin 24 inch culverts or a box culvert
across the ditch. Mr. McGedrick did not feel it was a good idea
to direct the creek alongside the railroad track. He suggested that
they swing it down and make an arc to keep the creek withina Armstrong's
property line. He also said they should avoid the two_c90 d gree_'ttfrns
shown on the plan. There is quite a bit of water coming down through
there now, and the plan, as shown, would cause too much maintenance
in order to maintain it. He felt the culvert where the railroad spur
branches off should be retained as a 24 inch culvert, and said he felt
they would need another one where the creek crosses the spur on the
Arpistrong property. The work outside the property line on the rail-
road spur will be taken care of by either the city or by Frisco rail-
road.On the South side of the plot plan, inhere they run water into
the road ditch, they would probably need to rip rap_`it;ctoiiprevent,
erosion. Where you tie the swales into the creek, make sure'you have
enough erosion control on the opposite side, so that it does not erode
into it.

3. Charles McWhorter: Mr. McWhorter asked whether the building‘wouldYbe'. )
sprinkled or standpiped. Mr. Hunnicutt said they will have three fire
hydrants outside, with 3 hose stations outside. He later said they would
have 2 or 3 hose cabinets outside and one or two hose cabinets inside.
The entire building will not be sprinkled, but the office and manufactur-
ing area will be. Forging and steel storage areas will not be sprinkled.
Mr. McWhorter asked whether they would be able to cross the driveway and
get down to the South side of the building, if it became necessary. He
said it might be necessary to restrict an area of the parking. He asked
the approximate completion date of the project and was told that Arm-
strong would like to have the building completed by the first of Sept.
Mr. McWhorter said that at this time, they do hot have a fire station
near this; otherwise, he sees no problems. They do plan to locate a
fire station near the Industrial Park in the near future.
4. Frank O'Donnell: Mr. O'Donnell asked Mr. Hunnicutt if he had any back-
ground about the gas meter locations, or whether any discussion had
been had between the representatives of Armstrong and someone else
within the Gas Co. Mr. Hunicutt did not have anyQ'knowledge of such
information. Mr. O'Donnell said the gas company has not yet gotten
lines to this area, but will have. He asked questions about the
approximate gas load requirements for the company and whether the
forge would be gas fire or electrical. Mr. O'Donnell and Mr. Hunnicutt
are to get together to work out some of the details, but Mr. O'Donnell
said gas service will be available. Mr. Hunnicutt said the plumbing
will be done by Fagan of Ft. Smith.
David Tucker: There are no telephone facilities in this area, except
one cable going out Black Oak jtoad>, which is already full. He did not
see any possibility of getting full service in there by Sept.>1. He
said he could get a construction phone in he thought. They have a
project they are working on at the present time to replace the cable
going down Black Oak Road, with a larger cable, which would provide
adequate service. But theproject has not been approved yet, and will
take time to construct after approval. He asked Mr. Hunnicutt to put
in an order for a construction phone as soon as he found out when they
would be starting construction. They discussed the possibility of
coming in on the same line with S••E.P.Co. Mr. Tucker said that;i7
�'on
temporary lines, they have to set way out in the property and the lines
cannot be used permanently, they expect to be reimbursed for the cost
of the poleuline. Mr. Tucker asked where the mechanical room would
be located in the building. They decided it would be best to put in a
temporary line with the power service until the future building is built.
In order to do this, they need to put in a 1 inch plastic pipe directly
from the pole nearest the electrical transformer, bypassing the trans-
former with this conduit into the building, unless they want overhead
service. This conduit should come into the building and come up where -
ever they want the telephone company to put a terminal inside. After
Mr. Hunnicutt gets a set of electrical plans, Mr. Tucker said that he
needed to tie that down more. From under there they put this terminal,
they should have a minimum of a 2 inch pipe stubbed out to the east
to go to the future building. If the temperature in any section will
exceed 125 degrees,constantly (for periods of 3-4 hours) then the phone
wires should be conduit, and the conduit should be 3/4 inch.

6. Clyde Terry: Mr. Terry asked whether Armstrong would request TV
cable service. Mr. Hunnicutt did not know. Mr. Terry said they
have no cable available there now, and if they want it, Trans -
Video will have to build lines to get into the Industrial Park. If
they think they may want TV cable service, they should stub out
for Trans -Video the sane as for telephone service.
7. Bobbie Jones: Harold Lieberenz, Inspection Supt., had 2 questions.
He was puzzled by the reference on mechanical sitesplan to a pump
house. He was also checking on an ordinance which designates a
minimum elevation for the floor level of the building in the Indus-
trial Park. He had not been able to locate the ordinance, but Mrs.
Jones had checked with an engineer who assured her that this building
was not below that elevation. This will be confirmed. Mrs. Jones had
vi
reewed the plan':and had the following comments:
On the parking,100 spaces are shown, and it scales out to be adequate
for a 10 ft. X 20 ft. spaces. For the immediate building, 33 spaces
are needed, but when the future building is built, a total of ('255
spaces will be required. The parking area should be improved by
grading and draining, the surface should be sealed and wheel or
bumper guards should be installed to prevent the cars from extending
out of the parking areas. A minimum of one 10 ft. X 30 ft. loading
berth is needed for the immediate building. When the future building
is built, 3 would be needed. The building setbacks are satisfactory.
Article 7, 15 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that Industrial Park
plans submit a landscaping plan for the front 10 ft. of the property
before a building permit can be issued. Grading, draining and main-
tenance of the overall plot are required. Since the property to the
west is outside the City, a bumper strip will not be required on the
west property line. No signs are indicated on the plan. The Sign
Ordinance would permit a free-standing sign, 300,square feet,
maximum size, 100 ft. setback from the street R•OLiW., with a maximum
height of 30 ft. above the street level. Only one ground sign is
permitted on this piece of property. A wall sign would be permitted
with unlimited size; however, the sign cannot extend above the roof
or past the ends of the building and would be limited to a 10 inch
maximum projection from the wall. No roof signs would be permitted.
erojPermitted projecting signs would be so small, I feel they would not
want them. No legal description or vicini p map was submitted with
thepplen.
Paul Mattke, City Engineer, had a conflicting appointment. He is to
submit his comments in writing, and these will be forRarded to Mr.
Hunnicutt. Herbert Holcomb, with SWEPCO, was not present. He had
talked to Mr. Hunnicutt previously, and had called the Planning Office
to state that power will be available to the tract, and they have no
problems with easements, except any special ones which may be required
by the developer. Larry Wood, with the Regional Planning Commission,
had called to say he had no comments on the plan.
Mr. Hunnicutt said that when they build the immediate building, they will
go ahead and dress the future building site to sub -grade level. He requested
that copies of these minutes be mailed to him.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 P.M.

Re: Armstrong Brothers Tool Company
Dear Mrs. Jones:'
I wish to reemphasize the comments made by Mr. McGedrick and
further add that the proposed routing of the drainage is unacceptable.
They were notified they could reroute the drainage within their
property, they can not relocate it onto adjacent property.
Reference sheet number 300 - Water & Sewer service is available
along Industrial Park Road. Request valve pit detail be changed to
seperate the water service from the fire -protection line.
Our tapping fee includes the water meter vault and service line
to connect to the water meter. The city will furnish the water meter
and the customer will then be responsible for the line from the meter
on to his building. The fire -protection connection will be a seperate
tap and tapping fee.
Should they have any additional questions I will be happy to
discuss these with them.
