MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held at 9:00 A. 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

: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.
