The Planning Office will need a revision by Monday, October 2, noon, to go to the Planning Commission on October 9. 10. Don Bunn (City Engineer): Said he has approved water and sewer plans and will need to talk to the developer about easements for service lines. Suzanne Matthews whose property adjoing this said she is against the building of 5 houses on. this small piece of property. Bobbie Jones said there are specific reasons why the Planning Commission could refuse to approve a plat. These reasons consist of the plat not being submitted in accordance with the zoning and subdivision regulations. Ms. Matthews submitted a letter in opposition to the proposed subdivision which follows on page 4. Mr. James Spellman was also present in opposition. The other item for consideration was the proposed final plat of Huntingdon Subdivision, located north of Old Wire Road and west of Highway 265. Mr. Pickell was present to represent. 1. James Crownover (Ozarks Electric): Not present. Said he has given the developer a layout but has not had time to check this layout against the easements shown on the plat. Mel Milholland said they used this layout for the utility easements. Mr. Crownover said he would not have any problems in going ahead with the three structures the developers are proposing at this time. HUNTINGDON SUBDIVISION Final Plat 2. Clayton Powell (Street Superintendent): Said the two private accesses shown for the three lots may cause problems. Mr. Powell said the Property Owner's Association will be responsible for maintenance of the medians on the culs-de-sac and the poind. Mr. Powell said this should be reflected on the plat and in the protective covenants. Mr. Powell said he has not received any final street plans yet and the final plans are supposed to be approved by the street superintendent before the final plat is approved by the Planning Commission. Mr. Powell also noted that no construction should be started until final street plans have been approved. Mr. Pickell said maintenance of the medians is included in the covenants as a responsibility of the Property Owner's Association. 3. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Mr. Brt said the City will not be responsible for breaking of the curgs on medians and green areas. Mr. Brt said he would rather not go onto the private drives to pick up trash, but will if the property owners submit a letter granting him permission to travel on the private drives. Mr. Brt said he would prefer that they construct a masonry garbage can holder at the street line. • • Plat Review Committee Meeting September 28, 1978 -3- 4. Larry Poage (Fire Department): Asked what type of building they are proposing and Mr. Pickell said it would be a 20 x 30 foot one -room structure with restrooms and lockers underneath. Mr. Pickell said this would be a civic -type building and the basement would be used as a locker room for those using the common facilities. Larry Poage said they would require an exit to the outside from the basement. Mr. Pickell said they have provided this. 5. Don Osburn (Meter Reader Foreman): Asked if the tennis courts and pool would be on the same water meter and Mr.Pickell said "yes". Mr.Pickell said there would be multi -family in the subdivision on those lots surrounding the park area with a maximum of 4 units per lot. Don Osburn said the developer would need to rename Langton Court since there is already a Langston Place. Mr. Osburn asked that they indicate house numbers on a post where the water meters will be located for those lots which will be tandem lots. 6. L. 0. Ferguson (Warner Cable): Mr. Ferguson said they have started installing pipe for cable and are going in the ditch with SWEPCO and Ozarks Electric. 7. Don Bunn (City Engineer): Mel Milholland said water and sewer are being put in now. He said they are waiting on fire hydrants and if they come in soon, they expect to be finished installing water and sewer lines in about two months. 8. Kenneth Wagner (Arkansas Western Gas): Said they hope to start in this subdivision as soon as their contractor gets free. He stated that until there -is a street address or lot number issued, the gas company will probably just put their line in and not leave any services. Mr. Wagner said they should show the restrictive easement for the 10" high pressure gas line on the east side. He asked that the developer contact the gas company before any digging is started in that area because that line serves Springdale and Rogers. 9. Floyd Hornaday (SWEPCO): Said the easements on the south and west side look fine. Mr. Hornaday said SWEPCO cannot get started providing service until they have lot numbers on the plat. Mr. Hornaday noted that SWEPCO has some lots which are in conflict with Ozarks Electric and they will have to apply to the Public Service Commission to obtain approval to serve those lots on the west side which are not in their service area. 10. Dick Shaw (Southwestern Bell): Mr. Shaw said it benefits all utilities if the engineer will submit the final plat as soon as possible. He asked that they designate all utility easements as utility easements and dimension the width of each. Show a 25 foot utility easement on the green areas coming in on Oak Bailey and Warwick Drive which were shown on the preliminary plat. Mr. Shaw said the telephone company will need a 25 foot easement running north/south between those lots added on the private drives. Mr. Shaw said to make a notation on the plat that all green areas will also be utility easements. 11. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): Said Harold Street should be shown as Errol Street. Identify each easement as utility easement or drainage easement. Show the gas line as being a restrictive easement, if it is restricted to Arkansas Western Gas. Show the 30 foot unnamed street right-of- way on the southwest side. There is a conflict with two street names --Harold and Langston. Show all certificates and information. Show all lot and block cj Plat Review Committee Meeting September 28, 1978 -4- numbers. The Planning Office will need a ::opy of die protective covenants. Add notes on the plat to show acreages devoted to specific uses. Show over- all proposed density in the entire subdivision. Show which lots are proposed for anything other than single-family, and maximum density per lot. Designate the flood plain area. You will need to submit a final plat application and fee. Bobbie Jones said she has not yet checked the file on this subdivision, but felt there was a requirement by the Planning Commission that the developer notify all adjoining property owners of the date of the meeting of the Planning Commission to consider this final plat. Mel Milholland asked if they could get a waiver on the size of the plat and Bobbie Jones said the Planning Commission has not wiaved the plat size, but the engineer could submit more than one sheet, if he wishes. ® The meeting adjourned at 11:00 A.M. 0• O September 27, 1973 To '.;:10111 it may concern: This statement concerns i tsolf with i1 thc uroporty on Azalea Terrace directly adjacent to the east side of our eroeert;; located at 231 `rvonne Drive, Fayetteville. ei,'cevil?_e. -- _?t -rj: 1i7 •�.ia.
