The first item to be discussed was the proposed Preliminary BILL GRAUE
• Plat, submitted by Bill Graue. Preliminary Plat
Mr. Bill Graue was present to represent.
Comments were as follows:
1. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): Not present. His comment was that the
street should be redesigned.
2. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Not present. His comments were that there is
no fire protection available, at the time, outside the City; however, they will
service them on a call basis for a charge.
3. Mr. Floyd Hornaday (SWEPCO): Not present; will call in comments at a later
time.
4. Perry Franklin (Traffic Superintendent): Not present.
5. Steve Brown (Community Appearance): No comments.
6. Freeman Wood (Building Inspector): Said that Bobbie Jones' comments were
as follows:
1) Each tract must have street access.
2) If sewer is unavailable, septic tank permits must be obtained.
7. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Said that due to a mutual agreement
between the County Planning Commission and the City Planning Commission, outside
the City limits, all normal rules are to apply. General Kendall is present to
comment.
8. Mr. Bruce Kendall (Representing the County): Said that this is really a
preliminary, Preliminary Plat. What he is concerned about is the road off
Highway 16, it comes in at two (2) 90 degree turns. The road on the South
part is not involved, since it is a 10 -acre tract. We are talking about one
access road, obviously, there is a line of trees Mr. Graue is trying to preserve.
We will have to work out some type of a serpentine road, instead of 90 degree
turns. Mr. Kendall said that he sees no problem working out the road situation.(

It has to be ready for pavement. Mr. Clyde Terry asked where this is to be
located. Mr. Kendall said that it is on the South side of the road; there is
an entrance into the road by Tipton's Garage. Mr. Kendall said that 6 ft.
right-of-way easements are required on each side of the road. Mr. Graue said
that there will be an easement on both sides of the road.
9. Frank O'Donnell $ Harold Lee (Arkansas Western Gas): Said that as far as
gas service is concerned, we will just simply work out each individual situation,
and if easements are available along the road, we will work it out as it goes
along.
10. "Boone" Carlon (Southwestern Bell): Has basically the same feelings as the
gas company has. He plans on going underground.
11. James Crownover (Ozarks Electric Company): Said that they will probably want
a 25 ft. easement to come from the back and go straight across (on the South
side of the road), from the property line to the corner.
12. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Said that they will either work with the power
company or the telephone company for easements. They do have a cable on West 16,
that is available, so we will be able to serve that area.
13. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Asked if Mr. Graue had dead -ended the road,
and if he was going to turn this South across the creek out of his land that
sticks out at the South. Mr. Graue said that there is going to be a dead-end
cul de sac there. Mr. Graue said that those are cut up in 3 -acre tracts.
Paul Mattke said that they have talked about water and he thinks thatit is
pretty well established that they will have to run a 6 -inch loop line here.
Mr Graue said that he would rather have individual taps. Mr. Mattke said
that this area will someday need fire protection and all the benefits that
are involved with urbanization. Mr. Graue said that to run a 6 -inch line,
would not be feasible. Mr. Mattke's comments were that he could not recommend
this without making future provisions for fire protection.
14. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Wants to make it perfectly clear
that there will not be any sanitation service provided. If it was annexed by
the City, then'there would be service. He asked if the streets would be
dedicated to the City (if annexed). Mr. Graue said that that would be between
the City and the County, but right now it is for the County to decide on this.
The next item to be discussed was the proposed MALCO THEATRE
Large Scale Development of Malco Theatre. Large Scale Development
No one was present to represent.
Comments were as follows:
1. Freeman Wood (Building Inspector): Said that this is located out by
Lumberjack. He said that Bobbie Jones' comments were:
• 1) They need a legal description and proof that the lot was created before
June 29, 1970.
2) What is the seating capacity? Immediate? Eventual? They have
enough parking spaces for 964 seats.

3) They have to check with the Inspection Department on the Sign Code.
4) Additional 5 ft. on each side of centerline is needed on Green Acres
Road.
2. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Not present. He commented that they will
have to go by the Building Code.
3. James Crownover (Ozarks Electric Company): Said that he has no comments.
This is not in his territory.
4. "Boone" Carlon (Southwestern Bell): Said to notify the owner or developer
that they have an underground conduit that runs underground four (4) lengths
on the East side of the property. Freeman Wood asked if that was on the North
College side. Mr. Carlon said "yes."
5. Frank O'Donnell $ Harold Lee (Arkansas Western Gas): Said that gas is
available from Green Acres Road and they can work out of either location,
when the time arises.
6. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): No comments. This does not involve Warner Cable.
7. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Said that water and sewer are indicated on Green
Acres Road. The sewer tap will require street cut. He pointed out that if
they want a sprinkler system, as they probably do, they only have a 6 -inch main on
Green Acres Road
8. Steve Brown (Community Appearance): Said that he would strongly encourage
that they replant in the islands along Highway 71. He said that the
Community Appearance Committee would be glad to work with them on planting
along Highway 71; he also has a list of appropriate plantings that are applicable
to Northwest Arkansas. He said that the Community Appearance Committee:is
available for any consultation on planting that they may need.
9. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Said that they need a container for
their trash. They will also need to build a pad to place the container on. Mr.
Brt wanted to know where the back of the building was going to be. Mr. Vanderlip
(Brennan -Boyd Construction) said that he really doesn't know where the back
entrance will be. Steve Brown said that it looks like the back entrance would
be by the service drive, on the North side. Freeman Wood said that he understands
that they want to start construction in a month, so they need to work this out.
Wally Brt said that when they start, to give him a call, they need to get a 12'
by 15' pad to set this container on -where it would be most convenient. Mr. Brt
said that they can service it off Green Acres Road ; there would be no problem
with the traffic. It needs to be at least 4 yards. He wants them to get in
touch with him when they are ready to start construction.
10. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Wants to know if they can tell him
whether the North property line abuts the dedicated Elm Street right-of-way
between Green Acres and College Avenue. It is required that on large scale
developments, the developers dedicate any additional right-of-way needed, to
bring the street up to the Major Street Plan. If any additional dedication is
needed, it would be measured from the centerline of the existing right-of-way
and the property owner would be required to dedicate half of the additional
easements. Freeman Wood said that there is none needed on College Avenue.

Mr. Powell said that Green Acres Road does need 25 ft. from the centerline
of the existing right-of-way, and even though Elm Street abuts this property
on the North side, there will have to be improvements; that street has never
been improved to current City Street Standards. An additional 5 ft. on the
South side would have to be dedicated if they intend to go on with the Plat
to meet with the current City Street Standards. Paul Mattke said that if they
do abut that, they do have a sewer line there and they want to be sure that they
don't damage that. Mr. Powell said that they do have 1 or 2 driveways, ingress
and egress off College Avenue North. For these driveways, they need to obtain
a permit from the State Highway Department's Engineer's Office, which you can
obtain through Mr. Mattke, I request that you do not empty any on-site drainage
out driveways --onto the street; that includes Highway 71. He said that they have
indicated using a 12 -inch reinforced concrete pipe on site, but it is our exper-
ience that anything less than 15 inches, will get full everytime a little water
gets in. On Green Acres Road, they have 3 driveway accesses shown. Green
Acres Road is not curbed and guttered and this presents a drainage problem there.
On Poplar Street North,:theyindicated using a 24 -inch concrete pipe, in addition,
I would recommend that they build head -walls, footings $ wingwalls.on each end
of these driveways. They will need to obtain a permit from the State Highway
Department's Engineer's Office, that should be accompanied with a drawing by
an engineer. Other than that, if the rights-of-way meet street standards, he
is happy to see another theatre.
11. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): Not present. No comments.
12. Floyd Hornaday (SWEPCO): Not present; will call in comments later.
13. Perry Franklin (Traffic Superintendent): Not present.
The next item to be discussed was the proposed Large Scale PHILLIP J. WARFORD
Development of Phillip J. Warford. Large Scale Development
Mr. Phillip J. Warford was present to represent.
Comments were as follows:
1. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): Not present.
2. Floyd Hornaday (SWEPCO): Not present; will call in comments later.
3. Perry Franklin (Traffic Superintendent): (Arrived late - 9:30 A. M.)
Mr. Franklin's comments are listed under Clayton Powell's comments.
4. Freeman Wood (Building Inspector): Said that Bobbie Jones' comments were:
1) On parking, they cannot back into the street.
2) See Section 11, Article 7, Zoning Ordinance (Page 857).
3) They have already drawn up street easement.
5. Charles McWhorter (Fire Chief): Not present. He said that they need a fire
plug in the area The closest one is by the City shops.
6. James Crownover (Ozarks Electric Company): Asked what type of power they '

Gas): Said that there is
9. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Said that they do have T.V. Cable service on
Happy Hollow Road. He will check and see if he can reach them there. Mr.
Warford said that it would not be necessary to have T.V. Cable.
10. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Said that water services are available
from 13th Street. We do have a 2; inch line. He wanted to know if Mr.
Warford would need any water services. Mr. Warford said "no." Mr. Mattke
said that there is nothing he can do about fire protection, unless he wants
it, and a main could be extended, at his cost.
11.
Steve Brown (Community Appearance): No continents.
.
12. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Asked what they plan to put in
there. Mr. Warford said that they will have a shredder.
13. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Said that the additional right-
of-way dedication has been processed. This existing segment of 13th Street
has been in use for 6 years, and it is nothing more than a "rut" in the ground.
The map does not align with Happy Hollow Road and Ray Street, and it certainly
would not be continued 90 degrees North and South. Also, on the North side
portion of this street, no improvements have been made. 'It has been a problem
of maintenance, as well as drainage. Some improvements should be made to the
street to serve the facilities out there. We have gained two additional miles
of gravel streets in the past 3 years by encroaching beyond the existing
terminal points of the existing gravel streets -- with no improvements. Perry
Franklin asked whose job it would be to name that (13th) street, because Mr.
Warford brought up the question about naming 13th Street. Freeman Wood said
that it would be up to the City Board. Mr. Warford said that he doesn't know
what the reason would be for the "jog", it has always been there. The road
has been known as Happy Hollow Road. Clayton Powell said that it is in between
Ray Street and Happy Hollow Road, and it does align with some other streets.
Paul Mattke said that Mr. Warford can write a letter, addressed to the City
Manager's Office; it cannot be known as Happy Hollow Road --it is 13th Street.
Freeman Wood said that he should bring this up with David McWethy (naming
the street).
The last item for discussion was the resubmitted NEAL ALBRIGHT
Large Scale Development Plan of Jacob Stearns, known Large Scale Development
as Kaber Commodities. This Large Scale Development
Plan was brought back to the Plat Review Committee because of changes in the
size and location of the buildings and the relocation of the storage tanks.
Mr. Harold Lieberenz, Inspection Superintendent, suggested that this be processed
again because of the extent of changes proposed.
1. Perry Franklin (Traffic Superintendent): No comments.

9. Paul Mattke (City Engineer): Said that his comments are the same
as before.
10. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Said that they do not want cable service.
11. Freeman Wood (Building Inspector). Asked about this. Mr. Albright
said that Mr. Harold Lieberenz, Inspection Superintendent, had suggested
that he resubmit this Large Scale.Development.Plan of Jacob Stearns. He
said that in the future, this will be known as Kaber Commodities. Mr.
Albright said that he has sewer and water available.
12. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Said that the use of trash
cans would be alright.
13. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Said that since the first
discussion, it seems that San Francisco Rail Road, at one time, owned this
property and the existing gravel street is not really a dedicated street;
it is a private drive. He thinks it is the consensus of the Board members
that they really don't want a dedication; let San Francisco Rail Road
maintain it. Unless they do improve it, he does not want any dedication.
Neal Albright said that it is the intentions, to close the driveway.
Clayton Powell said that would be wonderful.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 A. M.
