M., Thursday, June 30, 1977, in the Board of Directors Room, City Administration Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas. CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Bobbie Jones, Angie Medlock, Wally Brt, Clayton Powell, Larry Wood. UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: James Crownover, John Kehn. DEVELOPERS and/or ENGINEERS PRESENT: Rick Cowdrey, J. 0. Hoggard. Jerry Sweetser asked that the utility BROOKSIDE EAST SUBDIVISION easement between Lots 87 and 88 be Reduction of Easement reduced to 20 feet (10 feet on each side of the property line). John Kehn, Arkansas Western Gas said there may be some problems with this. They already have a gas line in the south part of the lots lying North of the 30 foot dedication for the extension of Township Road which is not covered by an easement. John Kehn and Jerry Sweetser decided to get together and locate this line and work out the easement problem. None of the other utility representatives who would be affected by this were present. The only item for discussion was the proposed preliminary plat of Fox Hunter Estates located outside the City on the South side of Fox Hunter's Road. FOX HUNTER ESTATES Fox Hunter's Road 1. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): This is outside the City and they cannot serve it. The streets are adequate for sanitation service if the property is ever annexed into the City. 2. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): Recommended that the street be stubbed to the south property line rather than the cul-de-sac as shown. He said there is about 3,000 feet to the street to the south and the only logical way to get there is to continue down the gulley to the south. Mr. Hoggard said one of the reasons for the cul-de-sac is to keep the traffic out of there and keep it private. Larry Wood said this would be a problem with public protection, such as fire, police, and ambulance. He said they would only have one access in and out. Mr. Hoggard said Mr. Zed Johnson owns the property to the south and he is aware of the proposed development. He said he doesn't feel Mr. Johnson will ever extend the street through his property because there is too much timber. 3. John Kehn (Arkansas Western Gas): Said the easiest way to provide gas service would be to run the line down the road, and asked for a 15 foot easement down the west side. He said they would probably be in the edge of the right-of-way. He said they are existing on the north side of Fox Hunter's Road and would not need an easement there. He was.satisfied with Mr. Hoggard using the 25 -foot building setback line as a utility easement also. 4. James Crownover (Ozarks Electric): Said the' 25 foot building setback on both • sides would be sufficient for a utility easement. He said they would have to • • Plat Review Committee Meeting June 30, 1977 -2- :take primary back into the lots; therefore, he also asked for a 20 foot easement between Lots 3 and 4; 5 and 6; 6 and 7 (unless the street is extended, in which case the setback and easement should be extended); 7 and 8; and 9 and 10. 5. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Said this is outside the City within the growth area He noted that there is a moratorium on subdivisions outside the City limits but within the growth area. He said the ultimate criteria for streets, drainage, and sidewalks has not been resolved so he couldn't comment on what is required at this time. Mr. Powell agreed with Larry Wood that the street should extend to the south property line and then put in a cul-de-sac. He said they could make a note on the plat that the excess on the cul-de-sac would go back to the property owners if the street is ever extended. Clayton Powell said the 18" minimum bar ditch would not be adequate. Rick Cowdrey said this was shown as a typical because that is what the County requires. Clayton Powell was also concerned that the water would be discharging across Lot 4. Rick Cowdrey said they would have to rework the creek channels. Clayton Powell said they exceed the minimum 500 feet length for a dead end street (rural). 6. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): Said she didnot have a response from the County yet. She mentioned that the County is working on flood control and suggested the developer discuss this with them: She said she had checked and sewer is not available The lots are of sufficient size to meet the proposed lot sizes. The proposed ordinance for subdivision changes is on the Board of Directors Agenda for July 5. If they pass the Ordinance the moratorium should be lifted and this preliminary plat could go to the Planning Commission on July 11. She noted that the Planning Office needs the signatures of the adjoining property owners on a copy of the plat. They will need the Planning Commission to waiver the intervals on the topography from 5 feet to 10 feet. Also, the Planning Office will need a copy of the protective covenants, if any, and if there are none it should say "none". The certificate should reflect that the "secretary" of the Planning Commission has signed the plat rather than the "chairman". Add the "Location: Outside the City" under the acreage, and add a street name. On the final plat be sure to show 4 feet by 4 feet by 30 inches concrete monuments at each corner of the subdivision and a 11 inch by 30 inches iron pin at each lot corner and where the street curves. This should be shown with a legend. The new proposed ordinance also requires that where City requirements do not apply, minimum County standards do apply. The street surface and how much drainage, curb, gutter, and sidewalks will have to be determined by the Planning Commission and the County Planning Board. Bobbie Jones said the Planning Commission would also have to waiver the maximum length for a dead end street. 7. David McWethy (Administrative Assistant): Not present. No comments. 8. Scott Martin (Acting City Engineer): Not present. Water is available but sewer is not. 9. Perry Franklin (Traffic Superintendent): Not present. 10. Andy Calloway (Southwestern Bell Telephone Company): Not present. 11. Tom Halk (Community Development): Not present. 12. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Not present. 13. Paul Logue (Fire Chief): Not present. The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 A. M.
