MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held at 9:05 A. M.
Thursday, January 8, 1976, in the Board of Directors Room, City Administration
Building, Fayetteville,• Arkansas.
CITY REPRESENTATIVES: Clayton Powell, Bobbie Jones, Paul Mattke, Wally Brt,
Janet Bowen.
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES: Floyd Hornaday, Clyde Terry, James Crownover,
Richard Rutledge.
DEVELOPERS and/or ENGINEERS PRESENT: Ervan Wimberly, Harry Gray, John Box.
J. B. HAYS
The first item for discussion was a large North College Avenue
scale development plan submitted by Dr. J. B. Hays L. S. D.
for property located on Highway 71 North (College Avenue) between Cook's Paint Store
and Sizzlin Sirloin Steak House.
John Box was present to represent. Comments were as follows:
1. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent). We have adequate right-of-way
for Highway 71 at that point. The only request I have of Dr. Hayes is that he
continue to control on-site drainage as he has in the past So far he has-been
cooperative. If you are cutting any new driveways it will require a permit from the
State Highway Departmentwhich you submit through the City Engineer's Office.
The plat as drawn is within the prescribed specifications. You can go up to a 40
foot driveway on commercial and you have the proper spacing between driveways.
2. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Mr. Box told Mr. Mattke that the proposed
On' use for the new building would be a retail uniform shop and that there would be no
cleaning of uniforms.
^_ Mr. Mattke: That sewer that they will have to tie anything on is marginal to say
rn the best for it. As long as they are just adding a small additional sewage, I don't
think it will be any worse off than it is now. If we have to cut College Avenue
for water, it will be at the full cost of the developer plus there is a lengthy
delay (approximately three weeks) to get the permit from the State Highway Department.
It would be expensive to cut College Avenue. I would suggest you try to use an
existing service and just add on another meter.
Mr. Box commented that there seemed to be plenty of water.
Mr. Mattke: If it is not enough, we will have to cut College Avenue.
3. Richard Rutledge (Southwestern Bell Telephone): We have got plenty of cable
and everything right by there. If there are any poles that will have to be moved,
you will need to contact our business office and they will determine the cost of this.
Mr. Box: One pole will have to be moved.

4. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Mr. Box said he did not think there would be any
request for T. V. Cable service.
Mr. Terry: I don't anticipate any problems.
5. Floyd Hornaday (SWEPCO): Mr. Box answered Mr. Hornaday by saying that the pole
on the South would still have to be moved.
Mr. Hornaday: We talked about this before. We will talk to you later then abciit
moving that one pole.

6. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent); Mr, Box said he felt they could
get by with trash. cans.
Wally Brt: I don't see any problems.
7. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): The parking shown is only sufficient
for Cook's Paint, the Automotive and the proposed uniform shop and we need
enough for the two old buildings as well.If you can check the size and call me back
I can figure out how many you will need. I know we can pick up 8 or 9 more parking
spaces between Cook's Paint and the other building but any parking shown will have
to be developed and paved.
Planning Office Note: Mr. Box called the Planning Office later that day (1-8-76)
and Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones found that 8 more parking spaces were
needed and with Mr. Box's approval she agreed to revise the original drawing to
show them on the South side of the proposed building.
8. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Nor present but telephoned that he had no comments.
9. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): Not present but telephoned that he had no
comments.
10. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas): Not present at meeting but telephoned
that there were no problems.
PERIMETER PLAZA
Zion Road $ Highway 71 North
The next item for discussion was Perimeter Plaza, a proposed commercial subdivision
to be located on the Southeast corner of the intersection of Zion Road and
Highway 71 North.
Engineers Ervan Wimberly and Harry Gray (McClelland Engineers) were present to
represent. Comments were as follows:
1. Ervan Wimberly: This revised plat is the same as the original one except
that it includes Jim Lindsey's property and this might affect some of the easements.
It also changes the location of the force main and the sewer lift station. The
force main was located along Highway 71 on the original drawing and it would now be
located on the East side of the proposed street (the same side as the gravity sewer).
2. Richard Rutledge (Southwestern Bell Telephone): In answer to Mr. Rutledge's
question, Mr. Wimberly said there was a possibility that Lots 8 and 10 would be
divided sometime in the future. He said if it was divided they would probably
come in with a street through Lots 3 and 4 from Zion Road with a cul-de-sac at the end.
Richard Rutledge: As it is shown now, the easements are sufficient for us unless
the property is divided. If it is divided we would need an easement down that road and
cul-de-sac.
3. James Crownover (Ozarks Electric): There is no problem as far as Ozarks Electric
is concerned on easements. If Lots 8 and 10 are divided, I would need to look
at this again.
4. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): The same with us. Easements are sufficient
unless they divide further. If they do, I will have to look at it again.
5. Floyd Hornaday (SWEPCO): I am not sure we have even got anything in there but
I will go along with Clyde Terry (Warner Cable). We will go along and see what
happens.

6. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent); In a commercial zone we .require 5 foot
sidewalks not 4 feet. 1 am not sure whether sidewalks are required on both sides
of the street or only one.
Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): It would probably be preferable to have
sidewalks on both sides but the ordinance requires sidewalk on one side for local
streets and both sides for collectors.
Clayton Powell: Since you are changing the topography of the area until I see your
street plans and profiles and your tile sizing, there are no other comments I can make.
7. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): I have discussed water and sewer service with the
developer's engineers but I have obviously not received water and sewer plans yet.
However, I have been assured that they will water and sewer the area With those
stipulations, I have no problem.
8. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Mr. Wimberly (in answer to Mr. Brt's
question) said he did not know if any of the lots had been sold. He said the t -shaped
turn around was still planned.
Wally Brt: I guess we will just have to wait and see what type of development they
will have in there.
9. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): After checking on the street light spacing,
Bobbie Jones commented: Your street light spacing will have to be shifted some. You
may want to request the Planning Commission to allow you to move them to the lot
lines. I cannot do this.
Ervan Wimberly: I think we will check with the Planning Commission on it.
Bobbie Jones: Also, street lights should be shown on Zion Road. I'm not sure about
Highway 71.
Ervan Wimberly said Highway 71 is already lighted with lights down the median.
Bobbie Jones: You need to change the sidewalks from .4 feet to 5 feet and change
the street light spacing. I need a black line print revision and a plat with adjoining
property owners signatures or a note that you have shown it to the adjoining property
owners.
I think Ordinances 1661 and 1663 shown on the plat are the correct numbers.
Note: See Plat Review minutes of 11-20-75.
Paul Mattke (City Engineer)•: We have had an awful problem with legal descriptions
and easements coming from attorneys, engineers and abstractors mainly because they
are not checked after they have been typed. We are contacting all of them to ask
that they check all legal descriptions they write.
10. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Not present at meeting but telephoned the
following comments: I don't have enough information to make comments. Will get
to it later when building permits are applied for.
11. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas Western Gas):

The last item for discussion was a L. S. D. for a proposed office building RALPH GOFF
located on the South side of 15th Street. 15th Street
There was no one present to represent. Comments were as follows:
1. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): That is a non -dedicated private driveway to be
maintained by the owner developer. If:there should be any alterations in the driveway onto
15th Street, the permit from the State Highway Department District Engineer is required.
Respectfully request on-site drainage be controlled. I am sure there is a creek bed due
West of there, if they could arrange to drain it off from their parking lot in that
direction. They do not show any dimension on parking spaces. The ordinance requires
that they be 10' x 20'. There is no additional right-of-way needed on 15th Street.
2.Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Water and sewer is available. Unless he can
utilize existing services on the property it will require street cutting. This requires
a State Highway permit which takes three weeks and he will have to pay the full cost of
cutting and repairing the highway for these services.
3. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): Mr. Lieberenz (Inspection Superintendent)
talked with Mr. Goff and Mr. Goff thought he could go to the sewer back out to 15th Street
or he thought he could go to the main line to the South.
Paul Mattke (City Engineer): The one to the South is a long way but that would be
preferable to cutting 15th Street. If he put a meter in to the water line that serves
the laundry to the East, he,could cut his own street (the private drive).
4. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): I have no comments.
5. Richard Rutledge (Southwestern Bell Telephone): I don't have any problems as long as
we don't have to cross any one else's property other than his.
6. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No problems.
7. Floyd Hornaday (SWEPCO): We have service just to the Northeast of there and
we don't have any problems.
8. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Not present at meeting but telephoned that there
were no problems.
9. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): Not present but telephoned that he had no
comments.
10. Frank O'Donnell (Arkansas We'stern Gas): Can serve this with gas.
There was no further discussion.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 A. M.
