For discussion today was a proposed restaurant to be called "GRANDMA'S"

J. E. McClelland were present;to discuss the proposal. Comments were
as follows:

L. S. Development
1. Frank O'Donnell: This is a negotiation type thing. We are a long way
from available services, but we have been in contact with Mr. McClelland.
2. Herbert Holcomb: (Not present, but left phone message). In view of the
request for development at this time, we have adequate power as it exists.
3. Clayton Powell' The 60 ft. shown on the South side will be okay. I think
the zoning ordinance will require it to abut a public street or have public
street access. If the access into the property (on the North) is a public
street, it will have to meet the full street standards ---50 ft. in ROW,
etc. You will need an intersection permit from Dale Kendall with the
Arkansas State Highway Department in Springdale. We cannot accept a low
water bridge on a public street. The parking area will have to be separated
from the street by a curb and gutter.
Since the ''terrain slopes to the creek, your drainage will go that way.
Design parking area so it will drain. Zoning ordinance requires parking
area be dust free. Design parking area so it does not drain out into the
street. Need 30 ft. minimum radius on street intersections. May have
additional comments after I see the street plans and profiles.
J. E. McClelland asked about the fact that although there is frontage
up here onto the Johnson Road, there is a railroad separating it.
Mr. Powell said that since the property is separated from the Johnson
Road by the railroad track you would have to contact George Allison,
local Road Master for the Frisco Railroad, whether it is a private or
public crossing. Mr. McClelland said they had been trying to procure a
location which has a restful, pleasing, natural atmosphere with plenty
of trees around an older house. With that idea in mind and because the
road on the North does not go anywhere, they would like to not have to pave
it so that the natural, pastoral atmosphere can be maintained. Mr. Powell
said that the dust that would be created would draw complaints from customers
as well as the proprietor. Mr. Powell warned of the possibility of water
undercutting around the bridge.
Mr. Powell said that if it is approved to have a public street with the
atmosphere described and unpaved as desired by Mr. McClelland, he would
like for this to be covered in a contract, approved by the Planning Commission
Board of Adjustment and Board of Directors, and with the owners that if it
should be permitted to be a gravel street (public), that if any change in

land use, ownership, further development of this tract, or things of this
nature developed that it would have to be improved. He would also like to
have it understood that if there is to be arty oiling or dust control of
this road, it would be at the proprietor's expense. He would rather see
it remain as a private road to be maintained by the owners, if it could
clear zoning that way.
4. Wallace Brt: It is a necessity that this road, whether private or public,
meet the County requirements for width for me to get in and pick up
sanitation. Request you get a lodal container. Design radius on service
driveway so I can get in and out. No overhead wires where the container
will be located. Need a.concrete pad to set the container on. This truck
requires a 70 ft. turning radius.
5. Charles McWhorter: Any road you can fix that will handle the sanitation
truck will also handle our fire trucks. Would like to see a fire hydrant
on the West side of the railroad track. If you can get a fire plug on the
West side of Johnson Road and it is within 1000 ft., we can reach it,
but your insurance rates will be higher. If something else will be built
on the rest of the property in the future, something will have to be
developed in addition to this.
6. David Tucker: Asked what type telephone service they wanted? One pay
phone, 2 business lines, fire alarm, and burglar alarm ---no Muzak. A
cable will have to be run over there. Will want to have an underground
cable. Stub out a 12 inch conduit from the building. Southwestern Bell
will prepare the easement needed to cover the cable and it can be written
to cover TV cable and electrical services also. Mr. Tucker gave a cost
figure for all three services going in the same trench.
David Tucker said there is a $100.00 per utility fee for crossing railroad right-
of-way. If it is a public street crossing railroad right-of-way with utility
lines in it, there is no charge. In view of this and other comments made earlier,
J. E. McClelland proposed to bring a street stub across the railroad right-of-way
and build a cul de sac. The private drive would then lead off the cul de sac.
This would also give a street that could have a street name identifiable with the
restaurant, which Kirk McClelland had requested. He said they`.hoped'to call the
street the "Over the Hills and Through the Woods Road." Their second choice which
they really did not like was "Red Riding Road." Everyone present expressed their
approval of having the street stub and cul de sac cross the railroad.
7. Bobbie Jones: If the road along the North is to be a public street,
the parking will have to be set back 25 ft. from the right-of-way. If
it remains private property, the parking will have to be set back 5 ft.
from adjoining residential property and screened or 20 ft. without screening.
If it is a public street, the parking will have to be screened even with
the 25 ft. setback. The proposed sign will have to be 40 ft. from street
right-of-way, 75 sq. ft. maximum size, 30 ft. maximum height. Only one
ground sign is permitted on this entire property.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:45 P.M.
