* Lot Split
Bobbie stated that the property Mr. Knox purchased has 15 feet which is contiguous with
the balance of Mr. Robbins property. Therefore, this is a Lot Split. He wishes to
build where a trailer house was. Only the 200 foot x 200 foot building site is in the
City and is zoned A-1, Agricultural. Questionsand comments were as follows:
1. Tommy Fincher of Southwestern Bell requested utility easement on the East side of
Paradise Acres be extended up the East side of this property.
Mr. Knox said the service is in existence now.
Bobbie did not know if the easement along the South side of 200 feet x 200 feet is
for water and sewer purposes only.
Mr. Knox said he had no plans to subdivide the balance of the property he has bought.
Mr. Tommy Fincher stated that he wanted an easement along the East side. Also
commented that he could serve him without one.
Mr. Knox said there was no objection to this and did not intend to develop this
property. He will give an easement if it be necessary but felt it was not needed now.
2. Clyde Terry said there was no problem concerning the T.V. cable for the existing
trailer.
3. Frank O'Donnell asked about gas service to the trailer. Mr. Knox said the meter is
near the middle of the lot and he does want gas service.
4. Stuart Thomas (called). There are no electrical problems.
5. David McWethy said, "What is the zoning?"
Bobbie Jones replied, "A-1, Agricultural." David McWethy deferred to Street
Superintendent.
6. Clayton Powell remarked, "Is the house being built for your private residence? Or
for resale? For private residence, it should be disapproved. If the property should
be sold, it will leave innocent people there without a' public street, and we will
get complaints on it. At present there is a dirt driveway off the cul de sac. I
feel that the street should be extended. There is a 10 foot road easement on the
East side of the property that should be closed and a 50 foot street right-of-way
should be dedicated to extend off Paradise Lane.
Bobbie Jones said the 10 feet is an access in to a cemetery.
Clayton commented that it will matte a nice place but Mr. Knox needs to follow total
subdivision procedures.
Mr. Knox said the purpose in buying the acreage was because he did not want people on
both sides and around him.
Clayton Powell said "He will have to dedicate 50 feet of right-of-way for a street
all along the West side of the 200 foot x 200 foot portion of this property. We

also need a 25 foot drainage easement off the South side of the 200' x 200' portion.
Mr. Robbins said this house would certainly be an asset to the community, and they
went through' the procedures of annexation with the understanding that they could
put a house there.
7. Larry Wood: "Is there dedication for a street from the end of the cul de sac?"
Bobbie Jones said she has a copy of a deed for the property from the end of the
cul de sac to the North end of the subdivision. Bobbie Jones said she had talked
to the City Attorney on this. The property was put on two (2) deeds for mortgage
purposes. He could not sell one without the other unless it is subdivided.
8. Bobbie said, "We will get the comments from Bud Allen with the County later this
week on the lot split. I think the preliminary question was on the street at that
time. The Planning Commission is given the power to approve a lesser dedication in
the event of hardship. Ordinance states that if the easements and rights-of-way
required are dedicated, the permit can be issued as soon as we have those instruments.
If you object to the dedications, it will require approval of the Planning Commission
and the Board of Directors.
Mr. Knox objected to the dedications.
Clayton Powell: '!No reflection against Mr. Knox; but we are involved with case after
case, Fayetteville, has dead-end streets, etc. That is why we need to enforce these
requirements. This is the only course to take.n
David McWethy:explained that the problem is that this group does not have the authority
to waive the dedications. Only the Planning Commission can make recommendation and
the Board of Directors can act on it. We have no discretion at all.
Larry Wood: "We are setting up two lots now as opposed to one. Will be two deeds
of record. If financing could be turned around as a total thing, there is no problem.
Clayton said there would be%no requirement to improve the street if the street were
dedicated by Mr. Knox.
Bobbie Jones: "Will need legal description of property to be dedicated. The City
Attorney will prepare the deeds."
A proposal to develop Block 1, of Sweetbrier Addition as a Planned
Development was reviewed next.
Neal Albright was present to represent the developer and explained

that Lots 1, 12, and 21 will not have any structures. There are to be
5 one-story structures and four 2 -story structures with a total of 26
dwelling units. Lots 1, 12, and 21 are to be common property.
1. Wood: "Block 1B needs to be a party to the whole unit. Will it be a party to the
original plat? Will they sign the plat? There needs to be a Signature, Block 1B
will have to be a 'party to all restrictions. Designate driveways as common property
on the plat. Also Lots 1, 12, and 21. In working out the last one, they ask that
the public be given the right of access to the private drive, so sanitation, Police,
and fire vehicles can use it.
Albright: "There will be a fire plug at the north end of the private drive."
2. Bobbie Jones: "We will eventually need easements in Block 1B as well. Would like
a copy of a plat that shows buildings.(The number of parking spaces are based on the
number_o± bedrooms.. Duplexes require 4, on the others 12 spaces are required for each
unit.
Larry Wood: "Will there be any common space in Block 1B2 If so, it needs to be
identified."
3. Tommy Fincher, Clyde Terry, Frank O'Donnell, telephone, T.V. and Gas companies repre-
sentatives requested the following easements:
25 feet along the east property line of Block 1
25 feet along the west property line of Block 1
15 feet along the north side of the right-of-way of Sweetbrier Drive

and a 20 foot easement centered along the lot lines originating at the southwest
corner of Lot 6, going to the extreme north point of Lot 7, then running along the
northeast side of Lots 8, 9, 10, and 11; then, along the southwest sides of Lots
14, 15, and parts of 13, and 16. Again, down the west line of Lots 17, 18, 19,
and 20 "to completely encircle Lot 12."
4. Randy Schneider: (SWEPCO) "I am not sure about what meters will be used. In this
case where they are selling units, I do not know what to do. I will have to get
in touch with my boss. I am concerned with a way to get back to the west part of
Block 1B, and loop around into Block 1." Mr. Albright and Mr. Schneider agreed to
work this out.
5. David McWethy: "Where would the mail be delivered? The reason I ask is, is do you
intend to call the drive by name? I request that a private -drive sign be put up
where it intersects with Sweetbrier Drive."
Secondly, where will street lights be along the private drive? Do.you intend to
put in a sidewalk?"
Albright: "I have not planned to so far."
David McWethy: "This is my last comment. Where the private drive intersects with
Sweetbrier , it might tend to indicate a right-of-way dedication to be involved, as
there is an absence of a solid line."
6. Clayton: '!I won't allow you to dump drainage into the street (Sweetbrier Drive)!
for fear that it will wash away the,/Old Missouri Road. Secondly, from a safety
vehicle's aspect, the 24 swale type 'Curbs and gutters are not desirable. The
property owner's association will be responsible for taking care of drainage within
the development.
A Large Scale Development Plan for property acquired from Rev. Salmon
on Gray and Maple was reviewed. Mr. Cyrus Sutherland represented
Mr. Metcalfe.

1. O'Donnell: Gas service will come off Gray Avenue and run to the property line.
2. Clayton Powell• "Both streets, Maple and Gray Avenue are residential, other than
that, they are for developing these two lots only restricition is, the requirement
for driveway permits on hilly or rolling terrain , There is a minimum of 25 feet
separation.(15) inches diameter reinforced concrete_ is the minimum for driveway tile.
I will come out and check because you need the grade of the ditch set for positive
drainage."
3. David McWethy: "Up until now, we have requested it, but could not require dedication.
This is because of approval of Large Scale Development Plans. Because this is a
private residence, we have simpler procedures. As soon as the rights-of-way and
easements are given, the next step is building permit."
Sutherland: "Have to go through process of dedicating?"
4. Bobbie Jones: "Do not have to wait to go to the Board of Directors. The City
Attorney will draft the deeds. Since McClellan did the survey, they can give
legal descriptions. I would like to check it before the City Attorney gets it for
fear of mistakes."
5. Fincher, Terry, Schneider: Requested 15 feet easement from Maple up west side of
"Lot 3 and through Lot 2" to South line of "Lot 1."
Schneider: "How do you want electricity? I can arrange it to be underground. It
would require one pole. You will have to pay the difference in cost between overhead
and underground. He said he would set the transformer so it will serve more than one
person.
Mr. Sam Taylor was present "Telephone, Gas, and T.V.). Bobbie Jones SAM TAYLOR
explained that the Planning Commission approved his plans to build Stone Bridge Rd.
a house on Stone Bridge Road last year and stipulated that the 5 L.S. Development.
feet additional easement requested by Ozarks Electric be provided.
She explained that no record of an existing easement can be found yet. She requested
that the Telephone Company, T.V. Cable, and Electric Company work out with Mr. Taylor
what is needed on an easement and advise the Planning Office so the Building permit
can be issued:
