platted as a Planned Unit Development with Tract C shown as
multi -family.
Jerry Sweetser and Robert Windham were present to represent.
SEQUOYAH WOODS
Tract C
Preliminary Plat
1. Don Bunn (City Engineer): Water and sewer are available.. No Problems.
Jerry Sweetser said he is going to put in a 3 inch cast iron pipe and said he would
master meter the lots, initially, but thought if the individual units were ever sold
they would want to switch to separate meters.
2. Larry Pogue (Fire Department): Questioned if any of the buildings would be two stories
and Jerry Sweetser said some of them would be --they would be a maximum of 16 feet high.
Jerry Sweetser said all of the drives will be 25 feet concrete drives and no parking
will be allowed on the drives. Mr. Pogue said there was no problem.
3. John Kehn (Arkansas Western Gas): Said the gas company has an existing line on the west
side of Tract C to serve the three buildings. He said he would get with Mr. Sweetser
later on about how to serve buildings A and B.
4. Jack Whitting (Ozarks Electric): Said they have an underground line on the west side.
They have an overhead line from across the road which terminates in Building C and
that will have to be moved underground. He said he needs to come between Building C and
D. Jerry Sweetser said for Ozarks Electric to draw up what they need and he will fur-
nish them with the necessary easements. He also needs a 20' easement between buildings
A and B in the Green Area along Cherokee Drive and up. Also, he needs a 4 inch PVC
conduit.
5. Clyde Terry (Warner Cable): Said they have cable on the west side. He would like to
bury down Cherokee with Ozarks Electric and will drop off in the same ditch to serve
Buildings A and B. He said they will serve Buildings C, D, and E from the line on the
west. Mr. Terry asked for a 2 -inch PVC conduit where the line will be under concrete
drives.
6. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Said he would serve with cans. He asked for
a letter giving him permission to go onto the private streets.
7. Dick Shaw (Southwestern Bell Telephone Company): Said he would follow Ozarks Electric

and Warner Cable. He said he would need two 2" PVC conduits 30' long where he
will cross the drives.
8. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Said the original developer of Sequoyah
Woods dedicated the additional right of way needed for Joe Fred Starr Road. The
Planning Commission may require improvements to Joe Fred Starr Road since it does
not have a curb and gutter. The City limits run in the middle of Joe Fred Starr
Road. Mr. Broecard on the east sideof Joe Fred Starr Road was concerned about
Sequoyah Woods because it increased the drainage run off. He said the storm drain-
age is great but noted that they are dumping surface drainage around the spillway.
9. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator). In R-1, the height limit is two stories
plus the basement. If the buildings are over 20 feet high the setback may be
increased 1 foot for each foot over 20 feet in heighth. The minimum individual
private lot size will be 1600 square feet. The minimum lot width is 60% of the
normal lot width with an absolute minimum of 20 feet. Townhouses are in R-2
require 24', these will fall in this ruling. Bobbie Jones said they need to list
by area. the area (acreage or square footage) devoted to residential, drives,
parking, green space and area of the pond, and any other uses.
Jerry Sweetser said they are not building a planned unit development as such, they
are building an apartment complex in a planned unit development. Bobbie Jones said
the Planning Commission has proposed an ordinance to be reviewed by the Board of
Directors next Tuesday in which they will clarify the existing PUD ordinance to
provide that private drives rather than public streets may be used in PUD's. They
have proposed a minimum 20 feet wide street so long as the density per acre does
not exceed 7 units and a dead end street does not exceed 500 feet in normal terrain.
She said they are also subject to the subdivision regulations. When this is finishe
they will need to file a plat that will denote lot areas for each dwelling unit
and an as -built plan. Bobbie Jones said they need to dimension the setback for the
buildings from Cherokee, and the width of the drives at the street. She said to
show the 100 ft. minimum as a setback from Phillips. Bobbie Jones felt they
should contact the adjoining. property owners with a copy of the plat. She said
if they don't want to contact them personally, if Mr. Sweetser will furnish the
Planning Office with names and addresses, we will send them a copy of the agenda.
Jerry Sweetser said he would prefer not to do this. He felt you are creating
problems when there are not any problems.
Next was a concept sketch for Regency North located
North of Appleby Road
Wade Bishop and Harold Wescott were present to represent.
REGENCY NORTH
Appleby Road
Concept Sketch
Bobbie Jones explained that Mr. Bishop will need to show the proposed use for the land.
She said the utility companies need to know from the preliminary level where multi-
family will be and the number of living units. Wade Bishop said the lots on the E
of the south are R-0 and the rest is Rt2. Mr. Bishop said Block 11, and the lots on
the other side of that street are proposed for duplexes and triplexes to serve as a
buffer between the drive-in theatre and the single-family.
l._ Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Asked how wide the street will be. Wade
Bishop said it will be 31 feet back -of -curb to back -of -curb. Wally Brt said he
would not have any problems.
2. Larry Pogue (Fire Department): Asked if he has planned 1,000 feet spacing for fire
plugs and Mr. Bishop said they p'_anto place the fire hydrants according to the

Fire Department Regulations, No Problems.
3. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Said the Planning Commission may require
abutting streets to the subdivision to be brought up to City Standards, however,
Wade Bishop has been before the Board of Directors on three separate occasions
concerning -the section of Appleby Road between College Avenue and Bishop Drive
under the amended street maintenance ordinance, he has agreed to pay for the
reduced standard off-site, beginning at his southeast property line to the north
radius point of Bishop Drive. Mr. Bishop has submitted engineering plans and
profiles to install curb and gutter and streets as outlined by the Board of Direc-
tors. He said he can complete paving of Appleby to Bishop east property line but
there is a utility delay in relocating cable for the street widening. From
Bishop Drive to the north point of Appleby Road where it does a 90 west'%urn
the Board of Directors did not address this segment of Appleby Road and the Planning
Commission may require it to be brought up to city standards. He said the standard
established for the divided lanes at the south side of the property is 20 feet
wide, one-way streets on each side of the median. The median may be green space,
asphalt or concrete. Mr. Powell noted that there are 109 interior lots which will
only have two access points to Appleby Road and it may get congested.
4. Don Bunn (City Engineer): Asked that the water and sewer be in the front. He
said there is a 16" water line running across the property. He said he would
prefer to see it relocated. He said they need at least 10 feet either side of the
16" line for easement. He noted that it would be very difficult to build on some
of the lots with this line running across the property. Don Bunn questioned what
size easement the City has over the water line and Mr. Westcott said it is a 2 -foot
easement. Mr. Bunn said he would strongly recommend that the line be moved. He
asked that Mr. Bishop get with him to discuss this.
5. Harold Westcott said there is already a written 20 -foot easement along the north
line of Blocks 1 and 2. The utility companies requested the following easements:
25 ft. each side of the two high pressure gas lines running through the
property;
20 ft. along the North side of Lots 1 throughe4, Block 1; and 20 ft.
down the East side of Lot 4, Block 1;
20 ft. along the North side of Lots 1 through 8, Block 2; and 10 ft. down
the East side of Lot 4, Block 2:
Redesign Block 3 to delete the cul de sac, divide Lot 7 between Lots 5 and
6, make Lots 8 and 9 into one tandem lot having only 25 ft. of the lot
extending out to Appleby Road (flag lot), and possibly redivide Lots 1
and 2 in an East-West direction rather than a North-South direction to
get more buildable area. Easements then requested in Block 3 are:
121 ft. down the East side of Lots 1, 3, and 4, Block 3; 20 ft. off the
West side of the new tandem lot and running between Lot 2, Block 2 and
Lot 10, Block 3 (as shown on the original submittal).
121 ft. off the West side of Lots 5 through 12, Block 4.
25 ft. centered on the rear lot lines between Blocks 5 and 6, running
all the way through the blocks.
15 ft. off the North side of Lots 3, 4, and 5, Block 7; 15 ft. easement
down the West side of Lot 3, Block 7 as far South as the Northeast corner
of Lot 2, Block 7; 10 ft. off the South side of Lots 6 and 14, Block 7;
25 ft. centered on the lot lines between Lots 6 and 7 and Lots 13 and 14,
Block 7; 10 ft. off the North side of Lot 13, Block 7; 15 ft. off the
South side of Lots 9 and 10, Block 7;

centered along the side lot lines between Lots 5 and 6, between Lots 7
and 8, and between Lots 13 and 14, Block 11. Call the Telephone Company
before the SB -2 goes in on the streets so that they can install cable
crossings between Block 11 and Blocks 5, 6, 7 and 9.
6. Tom Halk (Community Appearance): I feel the Planning Commission should
look at this carefully and realistically before deciding whether to
exercise its power to require the existing Appleby Road to be brought up
to full City street standards. With this proposed development and the
future development potential this street will, of necessity, become a
major collector even though it is not on the Major Street Plan as such.
It will be heavily used and not some minor residential street that doesn't
go anywhere. It seems surprising to have this Appleby Road improved to
less than the full minimum City street standards when all the streets in
the Subdivision will be required to come up to minimum street standards.
(Mr. Halk was not present at the meeting, but submitted these comments later.)
7. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): The revision of the plat should also
include the following information not presently on the plat:
The Plat must be 18" x 23" on a scale of 1" s 100' or 1" = 200'.
It may be finaled in phases but show the proposed phases on the preliminary.

Add section, range, township lines.
Add vicinity sketch; add topography at 5 foot intervals. If it is not drawn at

Add the names of all streets, existing and proposed.
Obtain the adjoining property owner's signatures. This may be done by having them
sign a copy of the preliminary plat.
