Present: David McWethy, Larry Wood, Bobbie Jones, Iris Dees, Paul Mattke, Clayton Powell
Utility Representatives and Developers/Engineers: Charles O'Donnell, Tommy Fincher,
Clyde Terry, John Parker, Jerry Sweetser,-.Neal Albright.
The Committee met to discuss the Jerry D. Sweetser Subdivision. JERRY D. SWEETSER
Comments were as follows: Subdivision
Preliminary Plat
1. Charles McWhorter: Not present but had called before the meeting
and said he had no comments.
2. Tommy Fincher: Mr. Fincher asked Mr. Sweetser what he had in mind for that vacant
piece of property. Jerry said he was going to build a house right in the middle
of it. Mr. Fincher said he would need a 15 -foot easement for the telephone
company on the south side of Lots 1 & 6, B1.1; 15 feet on the east side of Lot 6,
Block 1, and Lots 2,3,4 in,Block 2; 15 feet; 15 feet on north side of Lot 4, Block 2,
(or a perimeter easement around the whole thing). He needs 10 feet down the west
side of Lot 1, Blockl. Between Lot 3 and Lots 1 & 2 - Block 2, they need 20 feet
10 feet each side of lot line.
3. Clyde Terry: Thought they might need a 20 -foot perimeter easement depending on what
utilities would be in there and how many would be underground. Frank O'Donnell said
he thought Arkansas Western Gas would be running behind the curb on the south side
subject to what Paul Mattke would think. Jerry Sweetser said he would give them an
easement for 20 feet if they really needed it. He said he didn't see why 15 feet
wouldn't be enough. Bobbie Jones said they will have a 20 -foot building setback that
they couldn't build in any way. The utility representatives conferred and felt
15 feet would be adequate if the Gas Company was in the street right-of-way.
4. John Parker: Asked for an additional 10 -foot easement centered between Lots 4 & 5
in Block 1, for street lights. They would also use the same 15 -foot easement as
telephone and tv requested. Jerry Sweetser said he was going to put street lights in.
5. David McWethy: He asked 'what about the sidewalks" since they aren't on the plat.
Jerry Sweetser said they would put them on the north and west sides of the street.
Mr. Sweetserrsaid he thought the person who develops the lot should be able to put
the should be able to put the sidewalks in when he knows for sure where everything
will be so he won't have to tear them out.
6. Larry Wood: He said Township Road is a proposed collector street which would call
for 30 feet off the north side of Lot 4, Block 2. He asked Mr. Sweetser if the
north side of the street would tie into the street in Brookside East. Mr. Sweetser
said it would. Mr. Wood asked if they ran into a 10 -foot discrepancy in the legal
description and Mr. Sweetser said it proved 10 feet or more long.
7. Paul Mattke: He said he had no contacts concerning water andsewer for this addition
and there was no water and sewer presently available. He said this subdivision
depends on the construction of water and sewer for Brookside East Subdivision.
Should the Brookside East Subdivision not proceed, Mr. Sweetser needs to be prepared
to construct the off-site portion of water and sewer. Mr. Mattke said if Brookside
East is developed, he'll connect to it. He did riot think this should be accepted for
septic tank disposal if that is what is planned. This is sale access for Brookside
East Subdivision; therefore, I believe that Bois de Arc Lane is a collector street
by use, otherwise where is the collector. Jerry Sweetser said that Township when it
is built (will be the collector). Mr. Mattke said he did not see an easement across
the north side of the unplatted portion. A Brookside East representative had told
them they had an easement across the north side of this property. Mr. Mattke 70

pointed out that the question of the routing of the water line to Brookside East needs to
be worked out. He said he had absolutely no word about change on their part Mr. Mattke
asked Mr. Sweetser to get something in writing from them to him that someone is putting it
in. Paul Mattke said he needed somthing other than verbal on this. Jerry Sweetser said
he would give him somthing in writing after he worked this out. Paul Mattke said until
the dedication for Township Road is taken care of he didn't recommend that a building permit
be issued on that unplatted portion. He said whenever his department sees property that
is being land locked they feelthe requirements be met on that piece of property.
8.Clayton Powell* This subdivision extends beyond the existing terminal point of the improved
portion of Bodark Lane. Before any development of this subdivision is started the street
should be constructed to the terminal point of the cul-de-sac. This would give access thru,
otherwise, it would probably leave us with a segment of unconstructed street. It would leave
no access to the subdivision if it wasn't developed. Jerry Sweetser said Bodark Lane is
completed up to this property line already. He wants it completed to the end of the
cul-de-sac. Clayton Powell talked to Mr. Sweetser and Mr. Albright about the extension of
Bodark Lane at the curve where it intersects with Primrose Lane. Clayton Powell said that
on the approved plans and profiles for Brookside East Kelley Brothers indicated this was
a natural drainage point and they were taking water off the street and across Lots 4,5, & 6
of Block 1 of the subdivision. According to this topographic map the drainage goes due
north. He said we have to make the drainage ditches coincide with what they propose or
Brookside East will have to be changed. Their year of preliminary plat approval expires
if Brookside East doesn't start they will have to re -submit a preliminary plat for
Brookside East. Mr. Sweetser said he will rechannel this water across the back of Lots 1
thru 5, Block 1, then take it north. Clayton Powell said this creates complications. He
reviewed with Mr. Sweetser and Mr. Albright the drainage plans for Brookside East. They
have drop inlets on Primrose and draining to the east to Johnquil Road. Mr. Powell said
Bois de Arc Lane from Winwood is too long to carry surface water in the street. He has
required Brookside East to have plans to take it off the street at the point where
Bois de Arc turns to north onto Primrose with a scupper drain. This will now have to be
storm drained or Mr. Sweetser is going to have a ditch across the front of those lots.
9.Bobbie Jones: Need signatures of adjoining property owners on this; and make a note that
you showed it to them and sign the note if they will not sign. Show street names — the
east -west street should be Bois de Arc Lane and the north -south one should have the
same name as in Brookside East. Show 25 -feet building setback lines along all street lines.
The little square in the section corner should be identified. Mr. Lieberenz there was an
error in your legal. You have given me the intended use of this property left out. Show
the south side of Brookside East with intersecting streets. Identify point of beginning.
Need graphic scale and date. Show street lights and utility lines. I think the area
should be shown on the Plat as Block 3 if for no,other reason than to simplify legal descrip-
tion. Need 30 feet dedication for future extension of Township along entire north side.
Lots 1 and 4, Block 2 will be limited to a 67 foot wide house.
Mr. Sweetser said he planned to use the unplatted parcel to build his house on and his taxes
would be higher if he included it in this plat.
10.Frank O'Donnell: He said. the Gas._Company.will:prohably go behind:the curb in front of
Lots 17.6, Block, 1, and north along the east sid& of.:Primrose. They will probably cross
somewhere around Lots 5 and 6, Block 1.
Paul Mattke said he wanted to have the engineers submit water and sewer details on this
plan and the facts with any drainage channel inlets, drainage lines, and the location of all
utilities within 20 feet of the water and sewer lines.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:50 P.M.
