A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held at 9:05 A.M.
Thursday, November 21, 1974, in the Directors Room, City Administration
Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas. '
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Randy Schneider, Clyde Terry
DEVELOPERS and/or ENGINEERS PRESENT: John Parker, Joe Backus.
CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: David McWethy, Clayton Powell, Bobbie Jones,
Wally Brt, Harold Lieberenz, Paul Mattke.
The first item to be discussed was Swepco's extension to an
existing garage building for a transformer repair facility and
testing area.
Mr. John Parker from Swepco was present.
Comments were as follows:
SWEPCO
Gregg St.
1. John Parker: We want to put an extension onto the existing garage
building to conform with the existing building for a transformer repair
facility and testing area. We will not require any additional outside services
2. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): No comments.
3. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No comments. T. V. service is not involved.
4. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): What kind of oil will be used in the
testing? Mr. Parker: Mineral oil. We plan to bury two holding tanks
(1,000 gal. each)-- one will be for transformer oil and the other will be
for hydraulic oil that we collect. This will be picked up periodically
for salvaging.or sale for reprocessing.
Mr. Mattke: I know transformer oil has some different properties and I
was wondering if this would give us any problems as far as toxic discharges.
Mr. Parker. This will not go into the sewer system at all. It is designed
in the building to have a separater in the floor which will be separate
from the oil sump. Mr. Mattke: This is all I was concerned with that there
will be a sand and oil separater. I have no more comments.
5. David McWethy (Administrative Aide): No comments.
6. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Gregg Avenue was included in
the old Major Street Plan as well as the current one for a central North-
South expressway. The City has already pruchased right-of-way from
Cy Carney for the North end of Gregg Avenue. The plan is to relocate all
of Gregg Avenue on the east side of the Frisco railroad tracks in order to
eliminate hazardous crossings as well as a hazardous intersection on
Highway 180 when going North from Township. Since this project is included
in the City's urban systems programs which is a matching Federal -State -
City grant, this has to be done by a Consulting Engineer. The railroad
spur, pole racks, and fence will have to be relocated. We have done some
negotiating on this but there need to be some further negotiations made
on this. 80 feet of right-of-way is needed on Township Road since this
is an arterial street; 40 feet from the center line for the property abutting

Township is requested. Rather than causing a hardship on the property owner
to have a survey made, I am sure the legal description contained in the plat
book would provide the City Attorney the information needed to draw up the
necessary deeds for the dedication providing SWEPCO agrees. Mr. Powell did
not request right-of-way for Gregg at this time.
David McWethy: We need to know the requested amount of right-of-way before
the Planning Commission can consider this.
8. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): You have a 6 cubic yard trash
container already there. If you leave this so we can get to it everything will
be 0. K. Mr. Parker: The container will stay right where it is now.
9. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas): No problems.
10. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): No problems.
11. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): No problems.
12. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): You do meet the required setbacks.
13. Harold Lieberenz (Inspection Supt.): No comments.
DR. THERMON CROCKER
Joe Fred Starr Road
The next item for discussion was the addition of a two car garage onto the
existing residence of Dr. Thermon Crocker, Joe Fred Starr.Road, Comments were
at follows:
1. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): This is in Ozark Electric's territory.
2. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No comments.
3. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Joe Fred Starr Road is gravel
at this location. This being a residential street,50 feet of right-of-way
is needed. Request the dedication and confirmation by deed which will be
processed by the City Attorney for 25 feet of right-of-way from the center-
line. Otherwise, the addition to the existing structure poses no problems
to the Street Department.
4. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): No comments.
5. Harold Lieberenz (Inspection Supt.): No comments.
6. Jack Whitting (Ozarks Electric): No problems --we will work with them on
this.
7. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): No problems, however, if the
telephone poles need to be moved, they will need to call the telephone service
department.
8. Kenneth Wagner (Arkansas Western Gas): No problem.

ALBERT MILLER
The next item to be discussed was the proposed addition to be built School Street
on the North side of a garage at 1863 South School Street owned by Albert Miller to
be used as a boat shed. Comments were as follows:
1. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): This will not affect our facility.
2. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No problems.
3. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): No comments.
4. David McWethy (Administrative Aide): No comments.
5. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): I have no objections to the additional
structure. If the policy prevails on requiring the dedication of right-of-way
I would like to insure that we have 40 feet of right-of-way for South School Street
from the center line to the property line. It would be the easiest for this
property owner to make the dedication. If there is a legal description and it
could be provided to the City Attorney in order for him to draw up the necessary
legal deeds for the dedication.
6. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): No comments.
7. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): No problems; however, if the
telephone poles need to be moved, they will need to call the telephone service
department.
8. Kenneth Wagner (Arkansas Western Gas): No problems.
J. D. GILBERT
3295 Old Farmington Road
The next item to be discussed was the proposal of J. D. Gilbert to place an
8' by 16' storage building behind his house at 3295 Old Farmington Road. Comments
were as follows:
1. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): I have no objections to the addition.
Old Farmington Road is an existing gravel street which has multiple maintenance
and drainage problems. Again, if the ordinance prevails that dedication of right-
of-way is required, Old Farmington Road is a residential street and I would request
the confirmation of 25 feet of right-of-way from the center line.
2. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): I don't think we will have any problems.
3. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No comments from Warner Cable.
4. Kenneth Wagner (Arkansas Western Gas): There is a high pressure gas line
on the extreme South side of Old Farmington Road but this does not interfere with
this addition.
5. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): We have a sewer line which will be going
right through here. Easements are okay.
6. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): No problems; however, if the
telephone poles need to be moved, they will need to call the telephone service
department.

JENNIE McCALLUM
Lot Split
The next item for discussion was the lot split of Jennie McCallum for property
on Halsell Road South of where Oliver intersects Halsell Road. Joe R. Backus,
real estate agent, was present to represent. Comments were as follows:
1. Bobbie Jones(Planning Administrator): When I scaled out the McCallum property
and the Hornsby Addition according to the legal descriptions I got a 22 foot
overlap. The West line of this property is 22 feet West of the East line of
the dedication of Hornsby Drive. And when the dimensions of the lots along
Razorback Drive are added up and right-of-way for Smith Avenue, there is a
14 foot overlap between Smith Avenue and this property. This does not give
them the full lot width or street width frontage on street right-of-way.
2. David McWethy (Administrative Aide): If they could put a 25 foot drive
through the McCallum property off of Halsell Road these could be taken before
the Planning Commission for approval as tandem lots. I would not consider
letting them come off of Smith Avenue or Hornsby Drive. If they had the
25 feet off of Smith or Hornsby I would consider this as tandem lots, but they
do not have the 25 feet.
3. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): Our facilities are located to where it won't
affect us We can serve this easily.
4. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): We have T. V. service up to Block 2 of
Smith Addition and Lots 1, 2, and 3 of the Hornsby Addition and I want to make
sure we have an easement between these subdivisions on up to the Halsell property.
5. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): There are water and sewer lines running all
through this property and before they start digging on the site we would be
happy to go out there and locate these lines for them. They cannot build within
10 feet of the sewer and water lines. (Mr. Mattke furnished drawing showing
approximate location of lines.) Sewer is available along Halsell Road and running
North along Smith Avenue which comes into the property. There is a water line
along Lots 1, 2, and 3 of the Hornsby Addition and along Hornsby Drive which
comes into the property and a 6 inch water line that comes down Oliver and
jogs and then runs along the West side of the property. If this property is
split I will need an easement to get water into it. If the house on the front
of the property is tied onto the sewer that crosses the back of the property,
an easement should be obtained by the property owner of the house if the property
is split.
6. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Halsell Road according to the
plat book has only 40 feet of right-of-way. If the lot split is approved, in
order to meet the Master Street Plan requirements, 5 feet of additional right-
of-way is requested since this abuts Halsell Road. As far as splitting the
two semi -landlocked blocks, it appears that these lots do have frontage on
Hornsby Drive for the West lot and the East lot has frontage on Smith Avenue.
If this lot split should be approved I would like to recommend that it is the
property owner's (McCallum) responsibility to discuss with the other property
owners (Guzman and Voth) to insure that there is a mutual understanding as to
where the property lines are and that driveways would not enfringe on their
respective private properties. I think the most ideal splitting of this lot
would be the tandem lot method type having the private drive off Halsell Road
to the two back lots rather than trying to gain access by driveways off of the
two existing streets due to the narrow frontage contained in these two streets.

November 21, 1974
7. Harold Lieberenz (Inspections Supt.): The way I see it is
considered a tandem lot development it would have to go to the
and if it is not it will have to go to the Planning Commission
Board of Adjustment for a variance of lot width.
if this is
Planning Commission
and also to the
Mr. Backus arrived at 10:00 A.M. and Mr. Powell reviewed his comments with
him.
Bobbie Jones, Planning Administrator, explained to Mr. Backus that if these
two lots were considered tandem lots this would have to be approved by the
Planning Commission and if they were not tandem lots they would have to go
before the Board of Adjustment to seek a variance for lot width, and that
Mrs. McCallum should not sell any part of this unless she wants to sell all
of it until. she gets the Planning Commission's approval on this.
Bobbie -Jones,. Planning Administrator, asked those
for comments on the request of Berneda Steward to
a 45.25 acre tract West of the City limits on Mt.
5 or 10 acres off. Comments were as follows:

1. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas --letter in file.): Gas service
is at the Northeast corner of this property on Mt. Comfort Road We will have
to work each individual parcel out with the owner or developer.
2. Paul Mattke (City Engineer). There is no water or sewer there presently.
There is a proposed sanitary sewer line with a HUD -EPA project to follow
Hanestring Creek. There is a proposed rural water line to follow the South
side of Mt. Comfort Road. Easements are okay for both of these projects.
3. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): We need to insure 30 feet of
right-of-way South of the center line of Mt. Comfort Road and to insure that
each piece of property has frontage on Mt. Comfort Road. Subdivision into
smaller parcels or of the back portion of this will require dedication of
and development of streets.
4. Jack Whitting (Ozarks Electric): Will work with her when she brings her
plans in on it.
5. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): No problems; however, if the
telephone poles need to be moved, they will need to call the telephone service
department.
There was no further discussion.
Meeting was adjourned at 10:25 A.M.
