Home My WebLink About1975-02-20 MinutesMINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW MEETING A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held at 9:10 A.M. Thursday, February 20, 1975 in the Board of Directors Room, City Administration Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas. UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Randy Schneider, Clyde Terry. CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Clayton Powell, Bobbie Jones, Janet Bowen. OTHERS PRESENT: Glen Oldham, Deryle Easterling, C. 0. Hammond. GLEN OLDHAM 2712 West Sixth St. The first item to be discussed by the Plat Review Committee was property located at 2712 West Sixth Street, owned by Mr. Glen Oldham to build a detached garage for the existing dwelling. Mr. Oldham was present as well as Deryle Easterling, Mr. Oldham's neighbor to the East. Comments were as follows: 1. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): No problems. 2. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No problems. 3. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas): No comments. They already have gas service. • 4. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): No comments. Telephone service is already there. 5. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): As long as there are no additional water or sewer requirements there are no problems. 6. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): We need to keep the proposed right-of-way for the service road clear. 7. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): No comments. 8. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): The only thing I can recommend is that the setback requirements be met for the proposed service road as well as the existing streets and federal highways. Highway 62 has been a problem planning wise with the mixed usage and we have had the planning consultants, consulting engineers and planning firms making their recommendations and we have what we think will be eventually a functional plan or land use plan for Highway 62 and the service road. In just adding a garage to a single family dwelling the policy does not require any dedication of right-of-way so long as the setback requirements are met. When setbacks are varied and buildings allowed to be built closer than the required setbacks it always creates more problems than there was originally and increases the cost to an exorbitant level. (Mr. Powell said there were instances that presently existed like this and when it came time to construct the road or highway it cost untold dollars to buy a strip of land just wide enough to get by on.) The only thing I can say is go through the procedure of requesting the review by the Board of Adjustment and see what variance they will offer. Mr. Deryle Easterling told Mr. Powell that Mr. Oldham was planning to buy a strip off the West side of his property. (this would be on Mr. Oldham's East side) and that this strip would be plenty wide. Plat Review February 20,-1475. Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones told Mr. Easterling that this would require the approval of a lot split since he would be dividing off his property. Mr. Oldham told Clayton Powell that he re -measured -the distance from the garage to his East property line and it was about 18 feet. (The plans reflected only 10 feet.) Clayton Powell told him that since he was only 2 feet short of the required 20 foot setback avariance would more likely be granted than it would if it was a larger variance. Mr. Easterling and Mr. Oldham asked when sewer would be going through.their property. Mr. Oldham said that the septic tanks from the neighboring houses to the North were draining down onto his property. Mrs. Jones told them to check with Mr. Hoffman, Property Inspector, on the drainage of the septic tanks. Mr. Powell told them that the water and sewer improvements would be open for bids for inside the City on February 26, and outside the City on February 27. He said it would depend on the costs on how much they got done on it. There was no more discussion. Mrs. Jones told Mr, Oldham that she would place this item on the next Planning Commission agenda and he would receive a copy of it. C. 0. HAMMOND Cline Avenue The last item to be discussed was property located on Cline Avenue owned by Mr. C. 0. Hammond. Mr. Hammond would like to buy some used trailer houses and remodel them. He has two pads set up with utilities to them to check out the trailers and m4ke-sure they work. He said these trailers would not be to use for rentals and he would not have more than two there at one time Comments were as follows: 1. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): I see no problems whatsoever from the Street Department so long as he can get the necessary approval from the Planning Commission. He will not be altering any streets, and the private drive already exists. 2. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO) After Mr. Hammond pointed out the location where the electric lines came in Mr. Schneider commented that he did not see any problems. 3. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No problems. 4. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): No comments. Telephone service is already there. 5. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas): No problems. Evidently they already have gas service. 6. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): I have no objections as long as this does not expand into a larger scale. 7. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): No comments. 8. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): We don't have any problems unless he needs water or sewer. If he needs sewer the sewer is on the West side of the branch along the West side of the property. That means he has a problem getting to it. Neither the Street Superintendent nor I want any more above grade creek crossings. Water is not a problem; it is from Cato Springs Road. Mr. Hammond commented that he was putting in sewer and he showed his plans to Mr. Powell. After looking them over, Mr. Powell said he had no objections to this. Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones then told Mr. Hammond to be sure and check with c J Plat Review -3- February 20,.1975• City Engineer Paul Mattke on this creekcrossing because of the comments he had submitted. Mrs. Jones gave Mr. Hammond a copy of Mr. Lieberenz's (Inspection Superintendent) comments whichstated that a tract of land that exceeds one acre in size must be processed as a Large Scale Development, and that as long as there would be no major remodeling done to the outside of the mobile home it appeared to him that this use could be permitted under Use Unit 17 which is "Retail trade establishments general mobile home. Bobbie Jones told Mr Hammond the mobile homes could not be rented or used as dwellings. She then told Mr. Hammond that there had been a call to the Planning Office about some cattle running loose on their property and asked Mr. Hammond if he had any cattle. Mr. Hammond told her that some neighbor's cattle had gotten loose and run through his chain link fence. It was discovered who the cattle belonged to and the repair to the fence had been made. There was no further discussion. The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 A.M.
