MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held at 9:00 A.M.
Thursday, March 20, 1975, in the Board of Directors Room, City Administration
Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Clyde Terry, Randy Schneider, Roy Hawkins,
CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Clayton Powell, Wally Brt, Harold Lieberenz,
Janet Bowen.
OTHERS PRESENT: Dr. Hayes, John Box.
RETAIL AUTOMOTIVE STORE
The only item for the Plat Review Committee's con= North College Avenue
sideration was the Large Scale Development of Dr. Hayes to construct a new
building adjacent to Cook Paint Store, to be used as a retail automotive store.
Dr. Hayes and John Box were present to represent. Comments were as follows:
1. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): We have a problem on College Avenue
with mud, etc getting tracked out onto the highway. I do not have the
authority to enforce any restriction on this. However, I would like to
suggest that the contractor be as careful as possible while constructing
the proposed building to minimize this problem. Also, I would suggest picking
up the drainage off the private drive itself and taking it to the storm drainage
structure along the Highway to keep it from draining onto College. We already
have a problem of water draining onto the highway and in freezing weather
this creates a hazardous driving condition. We do have adequate right-of-way
on College Avenue.
2. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Do you think there will be a request for
T. V. Cable? If there is we will work with them in getting this done.
3. Randy Schneider (SWEPCO): I think we serve this from the South side (this
is where our line comes in at). Don't think we will have any trouble in
continuing service. We might need to know something about the load if they
think they will need a heavier load. Don't see any problems.
4. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): We do have telephone service
existing at the Cook Paint Store. I don't really see any problems now, but
if for some reason you need to change your service or have it moved we can
supply you with service. Don't see any problems. It is extremely difficult
to wire for telephone on concrete and masonry walls of buildings and we wire
these on the surface of these masonry walls. It does not matter to us, and
is entirely up to the customer, but it would make your building look better
if you can figure out where telephone service will be and install a conduit
for the telephone wires there.
5. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): Not present at meeting but telephoned
in that he had "No comments".
6. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas): Not present but submitted the
following comments: Don't see any problems. If they do have any problems
they can contact the contractor.
7. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Not present but telephoned that he
had "No comments".

8. David McWethy (Administrative Aide): Not present but stated that he had
"No comments".
9. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): If you are going to have a lot of
paste board boxes it would be cheaper in the long run to have a trash Lodal
container. If you do want a Lodal container you will need to construct a concrete
pad to place the Lodal container on since it makes the container last 4 to 5 years
longer. We will also need adequate room for trucks to pick up and dump the con-
tainer. A 4 -yard container costs $448.05 and a 6 -yard conatiner costs $556.50.
You might check with Cook Paint Store about going in with them on a container.
They really need one there. If you do, you will need a 6 -yard container for both
stores.
10. Harold Lieberenz (Inspection Superintendent): Your plans show drainage going
out to the curb. You should re -direct the drainage and take it back to the
drainage inlet structure along the highway to keep it from going out into the
street. Also the building plans do not show clearly where the hot water heater
is located. The State Plumbing Code prohibits hot water heaters being located
in restrooms. However, this may be planned to to be located above the ceiling
but this is not clear when reviewing the plans.
A. It appears that large glass panels are planned in the front wall along with
a glass door. This glass will have to be safety glass (Arkansas Law) or the
front of the building redesigned to be within the state regulations.
B. The facia construction on the front of the building (over the walkway)
does not appear to have a masonry wall backing it up. This proposed structure
will not be located in the fire zone of the City and this construction is
permitted by the City Building Code. However, I would suggest that Dr. Hays
check with his fire insurance company to see if this will affect his fire
insurance rate.
The large scale development plan submitted for the Cooks Paint Store which
was approved by the City Planning Commission did show "off street parking planned
along the North side of Cooks Paint Store. The reason for referring this to the
City Planning Commission for review: The proposed plan indicates sufficient
"off the street" parking for the existing Cook Paint Store and the proposed
automotive store but re -arranged from the previous plan approved by the City
Planning Commission.
11. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Not present but had same comments on this as
he did on Cook Paint Store. Comments follow as such:
There is an existing sewer service service that goes from that existing building
to the Southwest over to where the road easement is and ties into a manhole there.
As I remember that is quite high and that is a shallow manhole and the ground
slopes off even more. Watch your grades on the floor elevation of this building
very carefully. You may find that you cannot get into that manhole. There is
another manhole to the North in front of where the gas station used to be.
That whole area is quite flat. That manhole is only about 31 feet deep.
I would suggest you have your engineer check those two points and set the
elevation of your building accordingly, because it is easier to raise the
building up.
You have an existing water service at that building and one where the service
station used to be. If you need additional service or a larger supply of
water, we have a problem. The water main is under the western most lane of the
highway. We cannot cut the highway.

Plat Review -3-

Mr. Mattke asked if the building would be sprinklered, He admitted that
he had a problem in providing enough water for a sprinkler system. He said
that if they do elect to install a sprinkler system because of the better
insurance rates, etc., he would need to get with them and go out and specifically
locate the line in that area and find out what can be done.
There were no further comments.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 A.M.
