MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING
?s
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held February 28, 1974, at
9:00 A.M. in the Directors Room, City Administration Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Utility Representives: Clyde Terry, Tommy Fincher, Kenneth Wagner, Jack Whitting,
Randy Schneider.
Engineers and/or Developers: Dayton Stratton.
Others Present: Paul Mattke, Clayton Powell, Bobbie Jones, Iris Dees, Wally Brt.
The first item to be discussed was the proposed airplane maintenance
building to be located at Drake Field, Fayetteville and to be used
by Skyways. Dayton Stratton was present to represent this.
Comments were as follows:
DAYTON STRATTON
Drake Field
Maintenance &da.
1. Kenneth Wagner: We do have gas available. It lies 4 feet to the west of where that
new water main is. Dayton Stratton said Mr. Jones of Skyways will take care of the
utilities except for the water.
2. Clyde Terry: As long as the Highway Dept. lets us go overhead it will be ok. I
assume you do not want TV cable.
3. Tommy Fincher: Mr. Fincher, representative of Southwestern Bell Telephone, said
he would talkto Skyways about their telephone requirements.
4. Randy Schneider: (SWEPCO) Is this building going to be flush to the fence like the
other one? Mr. Stratton said it will be. Mr. Schneider said they have a pole where
the building will be which will have to be moved. I will have to serve this building
off the north and Tyson's off the same pole. Mr. Schneider asked what kind of load
they need. Mr. Stratton said no more than the other hangar. Mr. Schneider proposed
eliminating the existing street light on that pole.
5. Wally Brt: He said they would need an 8 X 10 pad which would be built between the
two buildings. He did not think it would need screening because it would be between
the two buildings and also there would be a cyclone fence to the; test.
6. Paul Mattke: I am submitting the necessary application to the FAA requesting
authorization for locating the hangar at that location. Forms will probably be in the
mail Monday and take about two weeks to process.
7. Clayton Powell* He said he thought the plans submitted,by Dayton were fine but the
airport has been and continues to be a drain on public funds. I personally conducted
a study at the airport which took over 7 months and offered a 62—page report which is
on file at the University of Arkansas and I invite anyone to read it. It can be
a self—sustaining enterprised fund the same as the Sanitation Dept. or Water and
Sewer Dept., but it continues to be a drain on the general fund and other departmental
budgets. Instead of improving the situation, we continue to violate setback require—
ments for the airport zoning. The public owns every inch of land at that airport.
It is all used for private commercial operations. The public has paid for every
improvement at the airport with the exception of the Tyson's prefabricated sheet iron
building recently erected there. To further encroach on the setback requirements for
runways is compounding the problem we have there when all of this space is available
south Of the existing terminal building..As commercial activities continue to expand
nothing is done about airplane parking, vehicle parking, and service vehicle parking.
Yet, all of these expansions are generating a profit for somebody and it is not for
the airport. For this reason I would welcome anyone to read my report. If we add

another building it should be south of the hangar where it does meet setback requirements.
Rent, royalties, etc. should sustain the airport operation. As a public official, I
feel it is my responsiblity to point this out because the airport has been a drain and
continues to be and does belong to the taxpayers.
Bobbie Jones. explained that the revised preliminary plats of PROFESSIONAL PLAZA
the Professional Plaza had been submitted. The Planning Conditional Use
Commission has approved it with several conditions. One
condition is that the size of the water line meet City Engineer's requirements.
Comments as follows:
1. Randy Schneider: We will need a 7i foot easement across the south end of Lot 9 to
serve the street lights. I would suggest it be moved around so it won't be set
back in Lot 9 if the street is extended to the north.
2. Bobbie Jones: I am going to suggest to the engineer that even though it has been
approved they should take the question of septic tanks on to the City Board before
incurring any expense in designing or engineering plans.
There were no other comments.
The meeting adjourned at 9:45 A.M.
