Thursday, May 15, 1975, in the Board .of Directors Room, City Administration Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas. UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Randy Schneider, Floyd Hornaday*, Jack Whitting, Roy Hawkins, Clyde Terry. CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Bobbie Jones, Janet Bowen. OTHERS PRESENT: Larry Gage. REVISION OF EASEMENTS The only item for discussion was the revision of Northwest Arkansas -Plaza the easements at the Northwest Arkansas Plaza Mall. Larry Gage, Manager of the Mall, was present to represent. Comments were as follows: 1. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): Our existing cable is now on the North side of the first access road in the flower garden median; our cable runs exactly 4 foot off the curb running straight up that section to this easement on the East side of the building. We would like to have that entire Np section of flower garden median shown North of the double drive as a utility easement extending to the easement._ The easements asked for cover everything except for the one easement. After looking over Mr. Whitting's plans,Mr. Hawkins said he needed a 20 foot easement running on the North side of the North entrance road to the Mall and follow it along the West line along the top of the bank l)! just outside the curb and fence. 1111/ 4 2. Jack Whitting (Ozarks Electric): Right after the Mall was completed, we ran.a survey on where our lines were buried containing magnetic bearings '1' also distances, and angles and we never did have any easements sent back to us. it They had this on file up in their office and we made a copy of it here and I outlined where the cable runs in red. I would like to submit this to show where we would like to have our easements. It would be better than trying to describe verbally. Mr. Whitting said he would be glad to supply the Planning Office a copy of this. Mr. Whitting said they would be coming from the West along the same line and break Northward along the West line of the Shoneys' site. Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones explained that she understood that Shoneys was having to shift their building site because of a sewer problem. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone): We can leave this easement along Shoneys! West line until after the Shoneys' property comes in. 3. Randy Schneider and Frank Hornaday (SWEPCO): We don't serve anything in here yet. But all this to the West we will serve since it does fall.under our territory. We need a IS foot easement along the West line (Call N 0 degrees. 36'00" W 626.13) to get in there from the Northwest corner of the extreme North portion of the property to wherever the future retail building is. They discussed who owned the rectangle of property to the West of this. Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones said they did not own it at first but that they could have purchased it since. Mr. Hornaday: Since we do not have a layout on the building yet we can't think about an easement through there (past the location of the future retail building.) • * Mr. Hornaday will be replacing Mr. Schneider in future Plat Review Committee Meeting. !Ml 4e Plat Review May 15, 1975 4. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): I believe they have covered what I need because we are with. the telephone company going in. However, where the telephone left off behind Sears we go all the ivay down to the GMAC offices. It would be under the street (drives). I think we are within that 20 foot easement shown. We need a 20 foot easement along the South property line, West property line; and short North side of the property line (call N86 degrees 26' 00" E 208.7'). 5. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator). You might want to consider the possibility of making these blocks (Block 1,2, and 3) and then later on if any additional easements were granted in this it would only have to be worded Block 3 of the plat and only describe this and not have to worry with the descriptions of the complete plot. That could put the original Mall construction under one block and Sambo and property behind it another block; a replat of this would only have to deal with one block. This could not be broken up into other tracts without a public street. The ordinance limits the size of plats to 18 x 23, or it has to be waived by the Planning Commission. Before the mylars (either size) are made up I would like to have that question posed to the Planning Commission to see if they will accept that and I will also check with the courthouse to see if they can handle a plat this size. This does not need to be any smaller printing on the certificates. You need to either have 1" = 100' or 1"= 200'. We received a metes and bounds description for the Frontage Road and I have a little difficulty getting it to align with the earlier plans submitted on the Frontage Road. What do they intend between the Frontage Road and the highway? There will be a strip approximately 100 feet wide between the Frontage Road description and the highway as they have it shown. It might be that the two rights-of-way have joint boundaries or adjacent to each other: I don't think they can (or do plan to) use it for building purposes. They will just be paying taxes on property that is being unused. Larry Gage: I don't know. You can contact Max Hall Engineering Services. in Springdale since he has worked with the utility easements and the Frontage Road. Roy Hawkins (Southwestern Bell Telephone) commented that the street right-of-way stakes are within 2 foot of the road all the way through. Bobbie Jones: I platted out the descriptions of the Frontage Road and in cases they did not mesh. I sent them back to the City Attorney and asked him to request a surveyor's or engineer's certification on them if they were correct and I have not heard anymore from them.They have wanted to do the Frontage Road by deed rather than putting it on the plat. Itwould give us a clearer picture if it was all on there together. Comments from the Street Department, Water F, Sewer Department, and Arkansas Western Gas were not available at this time. There was no further discussion. The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 A.M. 4q A
