MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW MEETING
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review was held at 9;15 A. M. Thursday,
October 31, 1974 in the Directors Room, City Administration Building,
Fayetteville, Arkansas
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Frank O'Donnell, Clyde Terry, Roy Hawkins.
CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Bobbie Jones, Paul Mattke, Clayton Powell.
DEVELOPERS and/or ENGINEERS PRESENT: Joe Fox.
REVISED FINAL PLAT
This item for discussion was the revised final plat of of
Sequoyah Woods Subdivision. Joe Fox was present on behalf of SEQUOYAH WOODS
the developers.
Comments were as follows:
1. Jack Whitting (Ozark Electric): Not present at the meeting but made the following
comment: They have satisfied all the easements we have asked for.
2. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): Not present at meeting but submitted the following
comment: Everything.looks 0. K.
3. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent). All we are concerned with
is the drainage easement for Tract C which will be developed in the future.. As
far as Joe Fred Starr Road right-of-way from the existing center line being only 22 feet,
I don't know what we can.do about it since there is a controversial utility easement
there that was obtained through condemnation proceedings in a court and the utility
company paid a sum of money for this easement. The East half of Joe Fred Starr Road
is in the County and there has never been any right-of-way deed executed for this
road since it was a road prior to the requirements for a formal dedication of right-
of-way for public streets. I don't know what else we can do about it unless the
appropriate officials or agency wish to have the utility easements and power lines
relocated to provide adequate street right-of-way.
Mr. Fox: The owners would like to post a cash bond or check for one-half of the
cost of the improvements on Joe Fred Starr Road 400 plus•feet--from the South boundary
of Cherokee Drive to the Northeast corner of Tract C. How is this amount determined?
Clayton Powell: The consulting engineer would give a current estimate and after the
review I would comment on it. This should be a perpetual bond to be used at the time
the Washington County Road Department decides to do something to the road. This money
can be put in escrow and)llraw interest. I recommend that we accept the payment at
current prices and when the County does repair or reconstruct the East side we will
use that amount of money to repair the West side.
Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): The plat book shows less right-of-way than they
are showing for Highway 45. Their dedication is showing 5111 feet from the center
line.
Mr. Fox: The additional piece of property was surveyed and I think that when the road
was constructed it was built about 1' feet off (centerline of right-of-way) and this
is what makes the difference. We have allowed for this so that we have sufficient
right-of-way.
4. Paul Mattke(City Engineer): No changes.

5. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): All of our cable is in place in
this section. We are in the process of changing our feeder route to come in through
your common property.
6. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): T. V. cable is buried along with Ozark Electric. I
don't remember if Ozark Electric asked for an easement along Whippoorwill or not.
Mr. Terry called Ozarks Electric and found out that 35 feet along street right-of-way
should be left for an easement through the common property on the East side of
Whippoorwill.
7. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas Co.): We are planning to come down on the
West side of the street right-of-way of Whippoorwill from Highway 45. I will get
in contact with your engineer, Max Hall, and when he gets the property lines staked out
we will get out there and look it over.
After discussing this, Mr. Joe Fox decided that the entire "common property"
area East of Whippoorwill would be shown for "common property and utility easements."
He said he would like to have the right to put a sign here.
you
8. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): I would like4to check with Mr. Lieberenz
about the sign because there has to be a permit issued for a sign to be put up.
A dimension was taken out on the East side of Tract C when this was revised. If you
show this as common property a structure cannot be put there. The easement between
Lots 94 and 95 was removed that was originally there for street light purposes. Will
this give any of you a problem?
Mr. Terry, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. O'Donnell all said that it would not.
Planning Commission minutes show that the Planning Commission asked for 30 feet of
right-of-way from the center line of Joe Fred Starr Road.
Mr. Fox said he had no objection to the dedication but did not feel that they could
legally dedicate additional right-of-way because of the prior easement purchased
by SWEPCO. He also pointed out that it would reduce the buildable lot width of
Lot 76. He said it would also reduce the easement along Joe Fred Starr Road by
8 feet, but he supposed the utilities could use street right-of-way.
