The Fayetteville Plat Review Committee met at 1:30 P.M., in the Direcotrs Room,
City Administration Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas, on October 17, 1973.
Present: Paul Mattke, David McWethy, Pat McGetrick, Bobbie Jones
Utility Representatives Present: Clyde Terry, Jack Whitting, John R.G. Parker,
Tommy Fincher
Developers and/or Engineers: Neal Albright, Jerry Sweetser, Harry Gray, Lu Indor£
The first matter discussed was the proposed Final Plat of the
Brophy Addition - Phase II. Mr. Harry Gray, the,.engineer, was
present to represent the plat. Comments were as follows:
BROPHY ADDITION
Final Plat, Phase II
1. Pat McGetrick: (Street Dept.) Debbie Street shows to be over 300 feet of street
length with grades of about 20%. The ordinance lists a maximum grade of 15%
with a 300 foot maximum length. If it is to be built, it should be closed in
the winter time during bad weather. He requested the developer consider
developing Jimmie Lane from this subdivision down to Township Road. He had
not finished the review of the plans and profiles yet.
2. David McWethy: He requested a black line print of the proposed plat.
3. Paul Mattke: I am very glad to see a final plat of Phase II being presented.
Water and sewer are available and can be extended to serve this area for
which I have engineering plans and specifications from Mr. Gray to accomplish
this. I see no technical problems involved in providing water and sewer
service to this property. I will be completing my review shortly. The:plat should my
monuments will be provided as indicated and then Mr. Gray should indicate
the location of the pins and monuments on the plat. 4 X 4 concrete monuments
are required at subdivision corners and at changes in direction along the
perimeter of the subdivision and steel pins are required along lot lines that
Mr. Gray should code accordingly. He didn't think it wise to file a final plat
before installation of all utilities. This can necessitate a replat.
4. Clyde Terry: We would need a 15 -foot easement at the south end of Block 1,
Lot 6. I believe all other easements would be sufficient.
5. Tommy Fincher: This particular easement Mr. Terry requested would also be
what we would need. Otherwise, I think everything is ok.
6. Jack Whitting: I would like to have
for an anchor. It would not have to
15 feet wide and 25 feet deep on the
an easement between lot 7 and 8 in Block 1
be all the way through. I want it to be
front of the lot.
7. John Parker: I think the easements that are there will be all right and
additional easements for street lights will not be needed.
8. Bobbie Jones: There should be a title block for the Building Inspector to
sign on the building setback lines. The legal description and the subdivision
block should bear reference to the original plat. I want to check with the
City Attorney on the manner to correct the erroneous easement on the original
plat. Sidewalks are required and the Planning Commission wants a not: on the
plat as to where that will be corrected. The plat book does contain a
"Debra" Street and this does seem to conflict
Mr. Gray said the utilities will be overhead.

Plat Review Committee -2-
October 17, 1973
The next matter for discussion was the preliminary
Bogan, Eason, & Sweetser Addition. Jerry Sweetser
engineer, were present. Comments were as follows:

plat for the Bogan, Eason & Sweetser
and Neal Albright, ADDITION
Preliminary Plat
1. David McWethy: Requested a black line print of the preliminary plat. He
asked if they planned to have sidewalks and Mr. Albright said they would have
them on one side of the street. Mr. McWethy said Mr. Albright should make
a note on the final plat to indicate which side of the street the sidewalks
would be on.
2. Pat McGetrick: I would like to know when yiou develop this road if you will
develop the street stub. (Bobbie Jones said the improvement of street stubs
has been required on recent subdivision plats.) He said he would need a
30 foot wide drainage easement from the end of the cul-de-sac to Mud Creek.
Acceptance of this preliminary plat does not mean acceptance and approval
of the street plans and profiles. He asked if it would be a private road or a
public street. Mr. Albright said that they were contemplating condominium in
Block 1 around each side of a private drive with swimming pool and recreational
facilities in the center and that he thought their intention was to turn this
over to a professional planner. Mr. McGetric did ask that this be noted as a
private drive on the final plat.
3. Paul Mattke: Water and sewer is available within reasonable distance of this
side. I will ask that the sewer be brought to serve this property by gravity
flow rather than a forced main or a pumped system. I also believe that at
this time if they include this area in Block 1 in this plat that we should
discuss a drainage utility easement along this creek. He requested about 50
feet either side of the center line and the same thing at the extreme east end
of the development. Sweetser asked if this would give them the right to go in
and remove their dam. Mr. Mattke said no, we ultimately could but we would
have to acquire the other^halfjof-it first. I don't think you will have to
worry about the dam. He suggested at this point to put a utility easement at
least around the perimeter of Block 1 and added that they cannot put public
utilities in a private road. Easements to cover the utilities would have to
be secured. The city does not take blanket easements.
4. Clyde Terry: At this time we have no cable available to serve this area but we
do have plans to extend it out in the future - possibly by the time they get
ready for service. As far as easements are concerned, I need the same easements
as Mr. Fincher with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. He asked for a 15 -foot
easement down the west side of Lot 1, Block 3, and 15 -foot wide easement across
the north side of Lots 1-8 of Block 3. He asked what they were going to do with
Block 1 and Mr. Sweetser said it would be a closed area with a private street
more on the drive basis. It was decided that easements can be acquired at that
time depending on the development plans.
5. Tommy Fincher: He requested a 15 -foot easement along the north side of Block 2
all the way to Block 1. He wanted a 15 -foot easement all along the south edge
of Block 4, and a 20 -foot easement between Lots 10 and 11 in Block 4. He
requested a 15 -foot easement along the north side of the street across the
150 -foot .area not being platted between Blocks 1 and 3 and an easement on the
west side of Lot 1 going north 15 foot wide and 15 feet east through Lots 1-8
of Block 3.
6. Jack Whitting: He asked if all utilities will be underground and they will be.
He said the 15 -foot easement requested by the telephone company may not be
adequate for all the utilities. He asked if there will be natural gas and there
will be. Then he said they will need larger easements. He would need access
to the street for street lights - 300 feet (300 feet is the mediocre spacing
for street lights. Be asked for easements 5 feet either side of the lot line

between Lots 2 and 3 in Block 3 and between Lots 5 and 6 in Block 3. He
needs a 15 -foot easement down the east side of Lot 8, Block 3 and around
the cul-de-sac outside the street right-of-way then south to the south line
of the subdivision.
7. John Parker: This property is serviced by both Southwestern Electric Power
Company and Ozarks Electric and the boundary line between the two services
follows the east line of Block 1 and_'the line between Lots 10 and 11 of
Block 4. They would use the same rear lot easements as the other utilities.
Jerry Sweetser asked that all street lights be located on the north side of
the street because that is where the sidewalks will be located. We have an
existing overhead line across the back of Lots 1 throught6, Block 4. Mr.
Sweetser asked about the chances of getting them to put a line underground.
Mr. Parker said this could be done if Mr. Sweetser is willing to pay the
expense of replacing the overhead with underground and can get Meadow Brook
Farm to change over. Mr. Sweetser decided it was not that important then
Mr. Parker said that they could make a loop out of this and go underground
to get into it. He did not feel it justified going underground for the
5 lots in Block 2 and Lots 7-10 in Block 4. Without Block 1 it doesn't
Justify it. Easements would be the same. He asked for 5 feet either side
of the lot line between Lots 3 and 4, Block 2 for street lights.
Mr. Sweetser said they might come back on Block 1 and put a cul-de-sac street in and
divide it up into lots.
8. Bobbie Jones: Asked Neal Albright to recheck the legal description wording
because he left out a part he should have left in. She asked him to use
ditto marks on lot lines where measurements are the same as those on adjoining
lots and to show easements and make revisions before it is scheduled for the
Planning Commission. Also, to note location for sidewalks and add a notation
to indicate proposed use of Block 1. She said it may be necessary to file
a replat of Block 1 to show easements needed to serve the development plan of
Block 1 when that plan is firmed up andto create lots for transfer of ownership.
Block 1 must conform to the zoning and subdivision regulations for Planned
Unit Development.
The last matter for discussion was the Large Scale Development LUTHERAN CHURCH
plan for an addition to the Lutheran Church, located on the corner corner of
of Rolling Hills Drive and Old Missouri Road. Mr. Lu Indorf Rolling Hills Dr. and
was present. Some of the following comments were given at Old Missouri Road
the meeting and others were given over the phone. Comments
were as follows:
1. Paul Mattke: If water and sewer are already there, I don't see any problem.
2. John Parker: I don't anticipate any problems we can't work out. If a pole or
line should have to be moved it would be at their expense. (after the meeting)
(phone)- Mr. Parker went to the church site to look over the situation. He saw
no problems for their immediate expansion which is the red colored area on the
plan. The area to the north and west for future expansion which is colored blue
is serviced by an overhead line and a pole is right in the middle of where they
are planning to build. They will have to work something out with the church
when it comes up in the future.
• 3. Tommy Fincher: (phone)- We have a drop going right in there and I don't foresee
any problems.
4. Clyde Terry: (phone)- Mr. Indorf told me he would not be interested in any TV
cables.

5. Frank O'Donnell: (phone)- He said the church should notify him if they need help on
sizing pipe and/or if their gas requirement may necessitate a need for a larger
meter. They would probably be able to see if they need one from the plot plan.
These are the only things he anticipated.
6. Charles McWhorter: (phone)- He said there was no problem as long as they met the
Building Code. He did comment that the effect of sunlight on the shake roof
causes steam or mist to rise and they had had some calls in the past from area
residents who thought the building was on fire.
7. Clayton Powell- (phone)- The 60 -foot right-of-way that exists for that property
is adequate and does comply with the current Major Street Plan. Old Missouri
Road is scheduled for reconstruction from Old Wire Road to Stubblefield Road.
The City is responsible for maintaining the street -at its present -width.-. Current
ordinance and policies permit the property owner to participate without going
through the formalities of the street improvement district. To widen said street
to meet the current City street standards, we would request that the property ._,
owner pay only for the curb and gutter along the perimeter along the property
and also the storm drainage tile. The City will sustain the cost of the materials
to widen the street to the curb and gutter, provide all labor and equipment cost
and this is much more convenient and much, much less expensive to the property
owner than going through the formal street improvement district. The street will
then be 30 feet wide, meet all current City street specifications and the property
value will appreciate much more than the cost of the improvement.
8. Wally Brt: (phone)- They are getting service by cans now. If they would want a
container the Sanitation Department would go ahead and put one in. They would
require a concrete pad 6 X 10 feet located in a place where their truck would
be able to get in and out. However, the pad and container would not be mandatory
but they could have a container if they desired it.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:15 P.M.
