The first item of business was the Final
Plat of Phase I of Bronze Tree Village, a Planned
Unit Development, located North of Township Road
and East of Highway 71 North, Ralph Brophy -
Owner, Ross Fefercorn and Thomas Prokasky - Developers.
Ross Fefercorn was present to represent.
1. Dick Shaw (Ma Bell): Requested that the Certificate of Dedication be checked
to see if "Public Utilities" includes the phone company and SWEPCO or should it
just say "utilities". He feared because they are privately owned, they might be
restricted from the easements.
Requested that 40 ft. of 4" steel pipe be laid for phone lines across the
drive entering the development from Township Road.
Requested that 135 ft. of 4" steel pipe be laid for phone lines in the
easement on the North side of Block 5A, the whole length of the easement.

BRONZE TREE VILLAGE
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
2. Kenneth Wagner (Arkansas Western Gas Company) Stated there is a 2" line
on the North side of Township Road, immediately behind the curb. He requested
that the Gas Company be notified before any digging is done.
He stated the existing easements shown on the plat would be sufficient.
3. Dennis Burrack (SWEPCO). Service will be underground. The existing pole at
the corner of Brophy and Township will be used as the "dip" pole and service
will dip underground at that point, back into the utility easement to the
North.
He stated he would need two 150 ft. steel pipes, 4" diameter, laid, by the
Developer from the middle of the easement at the front of the Development to the
middle of the easement at the back of Phase I.
The pad and transformer will be placed in the Northeast corner of Phase I.
Phase I will be served from a radius type feed. If future phases are developed,
service will be from a loop type feed.
Part of the contract that the Developer will enter into with SWEPCO will
require that all easements will have to be cleared to final grade by the
Developer before SWEPCO will install service.
4. Don Bunn (City Engineer): Sewer service will be from an existing 6" sewer line
which is located in the building setback and utility easement along the North
side of Township Road

Water service will come from an existing line on the West side of
Brophy Circle. Bunn said that water service is available, and that he would
work with the Developer in deciding how to run it.
5. Larry Poage (City Fire Department): Wondered how many accesses the Development
would have. Mr. Fefercorn stated that when all phases are completed, the
Development will have three entrance/exits. He asked if there was a hydrant
within 1000 ft. and Mr. Fefercorn stated there was.
6. Al Rukgaber (City Street Department Representative).: Bobbie Jones stated that
internal streets within the Development are required to be built to City
Standards except for width and the omission of curbs and gutters. Mr. Fefercorn
stated that all City Traffic Control Laws would be enforced within the
Development.
Al Rukgaber said that there had been some drainage problems in this area.
Mainly, the drainage easement which constitutes the North line of Phase I. He
stated that the Developer would have to be very careful about how water is
diverted onto the abutting property. The City Street Department has had some
past complaints on this.
Al asked if Mr. Fefercorn was going to submit a drainage site plan to the
Street Superintendent. Fefercorn asked if it would be alright to submit a
drawing showing contours in lieu of a -profile. Mr. Rukgaber stated that a
storm drainage system, approved by the City Street Superintendent is required
by ordinance. He said there were two areas in which he was concerned, the
North boundary line of Phase I, and the West property line, separating Brophy's
Subdivision from private property. (No plans for street or drainage have
been submitted to the Street Department for approval as yet.)
7. Wally Brt (City Sanitation Superintendent): Wally said he needed written
permission to travel the private streets within the Development, and, also,
stating that the Sanitation Department is not responsible for any damage their
Sanitation Trucks might cause.
Wally asked if the streets would be at an angle or crowned. Fefercorn
said that the streets would be pretty flat with about a 5% grade, and no more
than a 10% grade going up Brophy Circle. They would be crowned.
Fefercorn stated that he would like to install his container on a temporary
pad, so that when Phase II is completed, the container will be located to
serve both phases. He asked if railroad ties would be alright. Wally said that
was fine.
Bobbie Jones asked Wally Brt to note that the entrance had been moved from
its location on the preliminary plat. Wally noted the change and stated there
was no problem. Fefercorn stated he had moved the entrance to a lower grade
for better accessibility.
8. Bobbie Jones (City Planning Administrator):
A. Designate in the title block of the plat that this is Phase I.

Fefercorn stated they preferred a Contract.
L. Ordinance #2647, states that, based on 'rational nexus, development other
than single family, requires streets adjacent to be brought up to City
Standards; curbs, gutters, sidewalks, etc. This would require a sidewalk
along Township Road unless waived.
M. A point of beginning for each structure will be designated on the plat.
N . Before the Final Plat of Bronze Tree Village will be submitted to the
Planning Commission for approval, Clayton Powell, City Street Superintendent,
must approve, in writing, the street and drainage profiles for the PUD.

CONVENIENCE STORE
1. Wally Brt - (City Sanitation Superintendent): Since the property abuts a
State Highway, driveway permits will have to be obtained from the State
Highway Department.
Developer will dedicate additional right-of-way to bring the Highway up to
an 80 ft. right-of-way. Dedication will have to be filed and recorded as a
separate instrument.
Harry Gray stated that the Highway Department right-of-way cuts into an
existing high pressure gas line easement. Don Bunn stated that in that case the
Highway Department would have to relocate the gas line, if they utilized that
right-of-way because it was a prior easement.
Harry Gray said there was no problem with the dedication of the additional
right-of-way, other than it being subject to the existing gas line easement.
Wally stated that the Developer would provide properdrainage, rather than
dumping' it out the driveways on to the highways.
Wally stated there was no problem with Sanitation Service, the site will
be served off of Highway 265.
2. Larry Poage (City Fire Department): Asked what type of driveway Mr. Gray
planned on installing. Gray replied that it would probably be blacktop.
Larry Poage stated that underground gas tanks would be buried with
3 ft. of earth, 18 inches of well tamped earth and either 6 inches of
reinforced concrete or 8 inches of asphalt Placement of the underground tanks
must be designated on the plat.
Larry Poage stated there must be no parking within 10 ft. of the entrance
to the proposed store.
3. Don Bunn (City Engineer): Stated there was an existing water line on the
East side of Highway 265, and also, on the North side of Highway 45. He
asked Mr. Gray what size water lines he preferred. Mr. Gray replied 3/4".
Bunn said either way the site is served, water will have to be run across the
Highway.
As far as sewer service, there is no gravity service available. He stated
that service would have to be by pressure line. There is a pressure line East
of Crossover Road. The Developer will have to install some type of pump station.
They have not yet decided whether to have an individual grinder -pump, or a lift
station to serve the whole area.
Don Bunn stated he would work with the Developer and assign easements
when the problem of the lift station is resolved, then advise Bobbie Jones,
City Planning Administrator.

4. Dick Shaw (Southwestern Bell Telephone Company): Stated that he would require
a 25 ft. easement along the North property line, where the property abuts
Highway 45. Also, a 15 ft easement along the West property line.

Mr. Shaw requested the property owner's permission to place telephone cable
in the easement presently owned by the Gas Company.
S. Kenneth Wagner (Arkansas Western Gas Company): Stated the Gas Company would
require a thirty foot easement West of the right-of-way of Highway 265.
Wagner stated this should be in addition to the 40 ft easementtfor
street purposes West of the Highway centerline.•
Wagner stated that according to the drawing, the existing gas lines will be
only 3 to 4 ft. from the underground gas tanks and island canopy. He stated
that there must be at least a ten foot separation between the pump island and
the gas lines. Mr. Gray stated there was no problem.
There was some discussion over the high pressure gas line easement location.
Mr. Gray felt that the easement was incorrectly drawn on the plat. He stated
he would double check the location, and. Mr. Wagner stated he would also check the
location.
Mr. Wagner said there is a 10" line and an 8" line in the 30 ft. easement.
They each have over 400 lbs. pressure on them. One should be centered in the
easement and one near the West side of the easement.
Wagner agreed with Dick Shaw's requests for easement on the North and West.
6. Dennis Burrack (SWEPCO): Stated there is an electric pole in the South corner
of the property He said there was also service on the East side of the
property, and also, a three-phase line on the North side of the property. He
