MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW COMMII'1'Eh MEETING
The Fayetteville Plat Review Committee met at
in the Board Room of the Chamber of Commerce,
Arkansas.
1:30 P.M., Wednesday, October 31, 1973,
123 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville,
Present: Charles McWhorter, Clayton Powell, Wallace Brt, David McWethy, Harold
Lieberenz, Paul Mattke, Bobbie Jones.
Utility Representatives: John Parker, Clyde Terry, Frank O'Donnell.
Developers and/or Engineers: Link Luckett, Dayton Stratton.
The first matter reviewed was a Large Scale Development Plan WAREHOUSE
submitted by Dayton Stratton and Link Luckett for a warehouse E. 19th Street
to be located on the end of .east 19th Street. Mr. Luckett LSD Plan
and Mr. Stratton were present.
Mr. Stratton said the section line comes down on the west side of this property.
The Major Street Plan has a future street projected down that section line to extend
to College Avenue. He asked if they would be allowed to infringe on the required
setback which would be 30 feet for the Major Street Plan and 50 feet for zoning or
80 feet. And then, when and if the street was actually put through there,could they
take that portion off. Harold Lieberenz told them that the only body who can waive
the Major Street Plan is the Board of Directors. If the Major Street Plan can be
determined and the developers disagree with the determination, they would have to take
the matter to the Planning Commission and City Board, bedause if_that istshown on
the Major Street Plan the setback has to be from the future street. Mr. Stratton
said the drawing they had submitted complies with the Major Street Plan.
Comments and requirements were as follows:
1. Charles McWhorter: Asked what type of building it would be and what it would be
used for. Mr. Stratton said it would be a metal building and would be used for
storage only. Mr. McWhorter said there was no problem because he could get down
to serve the building if necessary.
2. Clayton Powell: He said he and Mr. Stratton had discussed this previously. The
new Major Street Plan as adopted reflects College Avenue extended through this
property to Pump Station Road which intersects with Cato Springs Road on the west.
A collector street right-of-way requires 60 feet right-of-way and he has a setback
measured from the section line of 80 feet. Normally, these major streets are
placed on the section line, the centerline, of the street right-of-way being on
the centerline of the section line. I do not feel there would be any necessity
to request the street be developed at this time so long as the right-of-way is
reserved. On 19th Street the plat book reflects 40 foot right-of-way, which being
a minor or residential street requires a 50 foot right-of-way. We would request
a 5 feet dedication on the north side from Mr. Stratton's property which would be
one half of the additional 10 feet required. I see no drainage problems since the
drainage is to the north and east. Since 19th Street is an existing gravel street
in use in the City, there is no requirement for this developer to make any
improvements to the street.
We have discussed the possibility of forming an improvement district for 19th Street.
Mr. Powell asked Mr. Stratton if he still had any plans along this line.
Mr. Stratton said that for the time being he plans to use it as it is, but if they
are able to acquire more land up and down 19th Street they would want to improve it.
Mr. Powell said that if the centerline for College Avenue extended is on the
section line and this property runs to the section line it looks like they are in
good shape on this one. Mr. Stratton asked him what the procedure is to get the
streets widened and blacktopped in the City. Mr. Powell said that gravel streets
are maintained as they exist when they are annexed into the City. Any widening or
improvements to the street would have to rest with the property owners if they
66

should want to initiate an improvement district and a majority of the property owners
agree they would have to pay only their proportionate share.
3. Wallace Brt: He asked Mr. Stratton if they would just be transporting in and out
or would they be doing any uncrating there. Mr. Stratton said there intentions
at the present time were just to transport goods in and out. If he found it
required a trash container, he would get a lodal unit, and that there is plenty of
room to manuever a truck around,
4. David McWethy: Requested a vicinity map showing the relation of this property
to Highway 71. The file was checked and he decided the one in the file would
suffice.
5. John Parker: He asked if the developers would need anything besides just lights
• at this property and they told him they would not. Mr. Parker said they have a
single phase linerunning right in front of this property but he did not know
whether the transformer would be large enough. He said they would probably
provide permanent service from a point toward the southeast corner of the building.
Mr. Stratton said he had thought about an outside mercury vapor light. Mr. Parker
said he saw no problems on this.
6. Clyde Terry: I don't think we have any problems on this. I'm sure the cable
would be available if they want it but doubt that they will want it.
7. Paul Mattke: Asked if they would need water and sewer and Mr. Stratton said they
did not plan any. Mr. Mattke said there was no problem and added that if they
need water and sewer services, water is available right across the street. He said
if they wish to have a sprinkler system they would have a problem. The only
supply they have runs between 500 and 600 GPM's. Sewer is available about 1200
feet to the north and could probably get to it if they need sanitary sewer
facilities. If they do not require any services there is no problem, if they do
require them it is possible to serve them.
8. Frank O'Donnell: Asked if they knew about the high pressure gas line and they
said that they did. He asked if they would be able to set back -the 25 feet required
from it and they said that they would. Mr. O'Donnell offered to have Arkansas
Western Gas employees stake the line for them. Mr. Luckett said that the people
from the gas company had already come down and located the line for them and they
have exposed it so there is no problem. They will not need any gas service.
9. Harold Lieberenz: No comments.
10. Bobbie Jones: Asked about any sign they might have proposed. Mr. Luckett said
that they would stay within the sign ordinance requirements on signs.
11 Larry Wood: (not present but telephoned information in) He said they would need
30 feet of right-of-way for extension of College Avenue and asked about 19th Street.
12. Tommy Fincher: (Southwestern Bell Representative) He was not present but
telephoned that there would be no problems.
The next matter discussed was a proposal for a storage building STORAGE BLDG. PROPOSAL
on property owned by Hanna Marine. Dayton Stratton was present Hanna Marine
to discuss the proposal. Comments were as follows:
1. Charles McWhorter: Asked the proposed use of the new building and Mr. Stratton
said it was for storage. Mr. McWhorter said the driveway definitely will have to
be opened to a minimum r)idth of 15 feet and kept open because that is the only
way they have of getting into this property. He said if the driveway is kept open
and at a minimum of 15 feet there would be no problem. Mr. Stratton saigJ,they plan
• 2•

to renew the driveway and he also said there would be no utilities in this building.
Clayton Powell: I don't see any problems with this, the right-of-way for Government
Avenue is an existing 50 foot right-of-way. Since this is of a commericial nature, he
can have a 40 foot wide driveway if he so desires. I don't see any other problem. The
Major Street Plan does not reflect anything in the way of future streets, so he is better
off on this one than he was the last one.
3. Wallace Brt: If he is just going to store boats in this, I see no problem.
4. David McWethy: I would like to know the distances from this property to the trailer park
to the west, to Hanna Marine south, to west 6th Street to the south, and to Prairie Street
to the north. Mr. Stratton said that Hanna Marine owns all the property clear to the
corner and has one line of trailers between this property and the Hanna Marine property.
Mr. McWethy asked for a vicinity map showing where the current Hanna Marine sales area is.
5. John Parker: Asked if they would not have any power lines or -anything and Mr. Stratton
said that Mr. Hanna had not mentioned any to him. Mr. Parker said that they do have
existing single phase line to this trailer and there is a pole with a transformer just
west of this existing building so they can reach it. If he does need lights, they can
serve him.
6. Clyde Terry: I know that he doesn't need cable to this building, but I am interested in
this line of trailers. Will they be moved out or what? Mr. Stratton said they would
not be moved out. Mr. Terry said that TV cable has a buried cable just on the north side
of that line of trailers. Mr. Stratton said the only excavation they will do will be on
the site of the building. Mr. Terry said there was no problem.
7. Paul Mattke: Water and sewer are available from Government Avenue, so we have no
problem if he should ever need services.
8. Frank O'Donnell: No.pfoblem.
9. Harold Lieberenz: No problem.
10. Bobbie Jones: I have not finished my review but will contact if I have any problems.
11. Larry Wood: (not present - telephoned in) He asked Bobbie Jones to check right-of-way
on Government Avenue.
12. Tommy Fincher: (Southwestern Bell Representative) He telephoned in that he saw no
problem.
This portion of the meeting was adjourned at 2:20 P.M.
Mr Lieberenz and Clayton Powell, Street Superintendent, discussed with all the other
utility services a problem which Mr. Powell has had in drainage easements where utility
services are crossing those easements, either going to a dwelling or with a main line.
Mr. Lieberenz said that the biggest problem seems to have been in the area of Butterfield
Addition and Sun Valley Addition. He said he had checked with SWEPCO and they bury all
their lines 36 inches or better. Ozark buries all their secondary lines 24 inches or better
and their primary lines 48 inches or better. He said that where it is known that an
•easement islfor utility and drainage purposes both then it will have to be a wider easement.
Mr. Powell said their minimum drain tile size is 15 inches but the one most commonly used is
and 18 -inch tile which is 24 inches at the bell end and it would have to have six inches of
cover over it so the utility lines should be one to two feet under the tile. He said this
is an acute:problem, not only on main lines but also for service lines. He asked that any
time utility lines have to cross a public easement for drainage that they maintain a
minimum depth of 4 feet from the established grade of the drainage ditch. He cited
68

problems that he had had in cleaning out drainage ditches where builders had pushed the
debris off into the drainage ditch, the utilities had been put in, and then when he
• came along to clear out the drainage ditch he ripped a lot of the lines out. The City
had had quite a costly bill in having these lines placed. He said he also had observed
utility service lines only inches below the ground surface in these drainage ditches.
The meeting was finally adjourned at 2:45 P.M.
