UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Clyde Terry, Roy Hawkins, Jack Whitting. CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Bobbie Jones, Paul Mattke, Clayton Powell, Janet Bowen: OTHERS PRESENT: Mrs. Wanda Yoe. WANDA YOE Lot Split The first item to be discussed was the Lot Split of Mrs. Wanda Yoe located at Highway 45 and Crossover Road. Comments were as follows: 1. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Water is available from the North side of Highway 45. This is a relative low pressure area for water service. I would suggest that they oversize their internal plumbing to compensate for this. There is extreme pressure fluctuation here. Sewer service is not available at this time by gravity but can use a small viro-tech unit which is a small grinder and pump station which would probably pump over to Sequoyah Woods Subdivision. This is operated by a small forced line leaving the pump and tying into the nearestgravity sewer. This would be constructed as a private yardline. The Farmer's Daughter is using this type system and you might check with them. I am convinced that a septic tank, either short term, or long term, is not the answer. There are some septic tanks in this area but we are trying to discourage any more going in there. I have no more comments. 2. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): I think in situations like this we need a 15 foot easement running along the future street easement. He then asked if this would interfere with the setbacks and Bobbie -Jones, Planning Administrator, answered that it would not. Mr. Hawkins told Mrs. Yoe that when anyone purchased this they would have to come back before the Plat Review Committee with site plans to be reviewed. I have no other comments at this time. We will work with the people on it as far as making some kind of agreement. 3. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): We will work with the owner if and when necessary. We do have cable on Highway 45 East. I have no other comments. 4. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): The only thing I have is that on the setback we would have to hold them to 50 feet from the front and 20 feet from the South. I would recommend anyone building also setback 50 feet from the East. The street is not in yet, and I don't really know about the setback for that, but since it is contemplated I think they should stay 50 feet from the East. Whoever does purchase this will have to go to the Plat Review Committee, Planning Commission and the Board of Directors with their plot plans before they can build. This will require some time and they should figure this into their plans. They can contact our office on what is required. Plat Review -2- January 16, 1975 5. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): I feel that taking preventive measures are the best way to keep problems from arising when developing large tracts of land such as this. It seems that when one tract is developed by one owner and another tract by another individual, no one wants to be out the expense of putting in a public street. I feet that the condominium apartment complex that was proposed in part of this would create a traffic problem. I think it should be considered to extend Cherokee Drive, which was put in by the Sequoyah Woods Subdivision, on out to Highway 265 East. Mrs. Yoe commented that she did not really want this street through here as this would bring in additional traffic and that since this had been through the Planning Commission about a year ago, she felt that they would already be aware of the amount of traffic through this area Mr. Mattke (City Engineer) suggested to eliminate the access problem, since the owner would have to build a driveway anyway, and the tile would be the same, why couldn't they use the money to put the driveway site where the future road will be put in. Clayton Powell: Adequate right-of-way exists on Highway 45. A right-of-way of 60 feet is reflected on the plans along Crossover Road and it needs to be 80 feet to meet the Master Street Plan. Mrs. Yoe said she was sure her husband had already dedicated 80 feet to the County along here but said she would check her abstract to make sure GOLDEN $ CORA IVEY Lot Split The last item to be discussed was the Lot Split of Golden and Cora Ivey located East of the City Limits F, East of Crossover Road in Sections 19 $20, T -17-N, R -29-W, the portion being split off will be used for a step-down station for Ozarks Electric.. Comments were as follows: 1. Jack Whitting (representing Ozarks Electric): This site is proposed for a step-down station from 161,000 volts to 69,000 volts. Ozarks Electric has 69,000 volt line crossing the East and West and SWEPCO has 161,000 volt line going through North and South and they will cross at the Northwest corner of this property. 2. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): I don't see any problem with the Ivey proposal. 3. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Will you need any water for cooling? Jack Whitting: No. Mr. Mattke: We might need to run a soil test to see if there are any electro -potentials in the soil here since this is JJ so close to the Beaver transmission line. We will talk about this. No problems. '0 4. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No problems. 5. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): No problems. Mr. Mattke asked if the 50 foot lot access was a conveyance from the Iveys to Ozarks- Electric. Mr. Whitting answered that it was; that Ozarks Electric paid for it but :are.. letting them keep the land. Mr. Mattke: Is this transferable? Mr. Whitting: I don't believe so. f:% We have no objections. There is a street 300 feet West of the utility easement but we don't have any access to it. Mr. Mattke: No subdivision plat has been processed on that. ,.t The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 A. M. 4
