LEWIS FORD SALES, INC.
1. Pat McGetrick (representing Clayton Powell, Street Supt.) 3373 N. College
I know of no problems; however, Mr. Powell may have something L.S. Development Plan
to say when he returns from vacation.
2. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): I don't see any problems with the location. Do you
know what plans there are for the other area later on? Mr. Morrison: Possibly to
construct a future building for a truck repair shop. Randy Schneider: We have a
pole line nearby that is close enough that we can come in to serve you from the
existing building. I would probably have to set one pole and transformer to give
you service. .No more comments.
3. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas): You do know where that big gas line is?
Mr. Morrison: It is around at the back of the present building. Mr. O'Donnell: No
more comments.
4. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Cable is not involved so I don't have any comments.
5. Paul Mattke (City Engineer). You are not going to be doing any excavation near
a water line? Mr. Morrison: No. Mr. Mattke: Do you need service back to the
building? Mr. Morrison: There are no plans for any water usage. Mr. Mattke: If you
do want service, we need to tie onto your existing building's plumbing. We have sewer
up to your main building, but that area back there is just too much lower and we
cannot get to it at the right level.
t..
6. David McWethy(Administrative Aide): Will this be a "Butler" type building
(pre -fabricated. metal)? Mr. Morrison: It will be structural steel with metal.
David McWethy: If the Planning Commission approves it on September 10, 1974, it will
go before the Board of Directors on September 17, 1974. We will send you notice of the
Board Meeting.
7. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): Zoning is alright. You are just inside
the C-2 zone. We can adjust the zoning boundary 50 feet if it were necessary. We
don't have Mr. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone) with us. If you need service -
even an extension- you will have to contact them.
8. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone --not present at the meeting, but comments
are as follows): If they ever want telephone service to this building, we will require
a telephone conduit from the main building to this building.
9. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Not present but had no comments.

10. Wally Brt(Sanitation Superintendent): No problems.
There were no further comments and the discussion was concluded.
The next item for discussion was Shakespeare of Arkansas, Inc., Highway 71 South,
Large Scale Development Plan for an addition to the existing building. Mr. Mike Brownlee
of B and B Construction Company was present to represent. Comments were as follows:
1. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Are you going to be
increasing your water usage in the building? Mr. Brownlee:
Very little. We are putting in one office and two restrooms,
but this addition is strictly warehouse, and we want to tie
into the existing water line within the building. The water will be run to the restrooms
and a drinking fountain. Now the sprinkler system will also be run into the building.
Paul Mattke: All the 90 degree angles you are putting in there will decrease your
total pressure that much more. We have had a lot of trouble with this 8 -inch service
here in back because of those leaching fields they have got. It's eating up the lines,
and I don't expect it to get any better. Mr. Brownlee: We have filled in two of the
ponds and I don't believe they will be using the others. Mr. Mattke: It doesn't really
matter, because there is enough material in the soil to continue to eat up the lines,
and the chemicals are the type that never neutralize. We are going to be crossing the
North side of this property with a 24 -inch main in a couple of years. In the Northeast
corner they show a line stubbed out to the North and if they extended on over we could
tie on at that location in the future when we come through with the 24 -inch line. That
way wec could make provision when you put the 90 degree angles in and put a valve in to
kill this line. But I suggest that instead of using 90 degree angles they could use two
45 degree angles and cut off the corner diagonally. Mr. Brownlee: If the 8 -inch line
is where it is indicated I'm sure that rather than to make that 90 degree angle they
will want to just go on out and tie back into a straight line. Mr. Mattke: This would
Le better. Mr. Brownlee: They will want to go whichever is the best way to maintain
the best pressure they can. I will measure that whole property line and contact the
sprinkler man. Mr. Mattke: You will have high pressure with your sprinkler system if
it is built according to the National Firewriters Protective Association specifications.
I would also like to point out that this line shown is not really a private fire line even
though it appears to be, but is actually a part of the city water distribution system that
is feeding South 71 and Greenland. Therefore, when we get ready to go to work on this we
will need to supervise and inspect the construction of the new water line, and we will
have to coordinate the tie in as well as the chlorination and sterilization and test it.
No more comments.

Large Scale Development
2. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Do you anticipate the need for T.V. service?
kr. Brownlee: No. Mr. Terry: No more comments.
H. Frank O'Donnell(Arkansas Western Gas): Do you have any idea what your increased
gas load will be? Mr. Brownlee: They are putting in 15 suspended heaters and I believe
they are going -in there with 1 lb. pressure. The mechanical contractor talked with one
cf your men and they didn't contemplate any problem with the incoming gas pressure.
Mr. O'Donnell: I will check this out. This is all that I have.
4. Randy Schneider(SWEPCO): Will you be adding about 100 KW? Mr. Brownlee: I really
don't know They will be putting in mostly just warehouse lighting (they are all 277)
and I understand thay they will be tying into the line inside the present building.
Randy Schneider: No problems' They are running a load requirement of about 1,000 KW
and their present service is adequate for about 3,000 KW.
5, Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): The zoning does go on back to the creek.
The setbacks are okay and it doesn't exceed the maximum building area on the lot. You
stated yesterday that the location of the Lo -Dal container would not change and there

will be a new drive around the building for access to this. Do you have any idea how
many parking spaces they have? One parking space for every 1200 square feet of floor
area is required. You will need 170 parking spaces Mr. Brownlee: I would say they
have over 200 parking spaces and they couid park 30-40 more cars if they need to.
Mrs. Jones: I would say that they probably exceed their parking requirements. No more
comments.
6. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Not present at the meeting but had no comments.
7. Pat McGetrick (representing Clayton Powell --Street Superintendent): No comments,
but Mr. Powell may have something to say when he returns from vacation.
8. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Not present at meeting but commented that
there were no problems.
9. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): Comments not received yet.
There were no further comments and the discussion was concluded.
