John Quinn was present to represent.
1. Don Bunn ((City Engineer): In the absence of Mr. Bunn, Bobbie Jones gave
a report on his comments as submitted to her.
The sewer line which crosses part of old Lot 6 gets outside the
sewer easement as shown, dedicate at least 10 ft. of additional easement
North of the existing sewer line easement.
Are developers planning on converting the 6 inch water line existing
on Pump Station Road to an 8 inch water line? Mr. Quinn stated that is
correct. However, it will not be for the full length of the development,
it will be installed across the South sides of Lots 12, 11 and 9, at this
time, and eventually for the full length of the development.
Bobbie asked when the proposed improvements to water and sewer are
to be done. Quinn replied that they would like to make these improvements
in a segmented fashion, as the lots are sold. Bobbie Jones stated. Mr.,(..,
Bunn has requested a cost estimate on the portion of the improvements the
City shall be expected to pay on the improvement of water and sewer.
Clayton Powell stated he would also like a cost estimate of the
amount the City will be expected to pay as far as streets are concerned.
INDUSTRIAL PARK CENTRAL
PRELIMINARY REPLAT
LOTS 5 F, 6, FAYETTEVILLE
INDUSTRIAL PARK PLUS.
2. Larry Wood (Planning Consultant): Submitted his comments by phone. He
wondered why the Combs Cemetery had been left out of the plat.
Mr. Quinn replied that there is an existing agreement that for as
long as the Combs Cemetery is utilized, it will remain unaffected by
any improvements around it.
Mr. Wood also wanted an explanation of the 100 ft. utility easement
crossing Lot 13, he said it does not appear to tie into anything. Quinn
stated that SWEPCO has purchased the New Lot #3, and that Bob Waldren
had requested this easement for running primary service from a location
to the immediate North. Mr. Waldren requested 50 ft. either side of the
Section Line. Quinn believed that there was also an agreement with MCWW
Corporation to continue the easement North.

Bobbie Jones asked Dennis Burrack what was proposed. Burrack stated
SWEPCO is installing a transformer station, and that the 100 ft. easement
is to run a 161 KV transmission line in.
Bobbie Jones requested that she be furnished with a copy of the drawing
for the proposed relocation of Pump Station Road for herself and for
Clayton Powell.
3. Clayton Powell (City Street Superintendent): Stated that Pump Station Road
is currently under construction to the Section line between 26/27. With
the addition of the cul-de-sac to the East, some provision for drainage
will have to be made. Clayton stated that drainage and an underdrain is
being installed in the West side of the drive into Warren Tool to carry
drainage South along an existing earthen swale. Show drainage input and
compute it for the area. Some provision must be made now to control
drainage between City Lake Road and Armstrong Avenue.
As far as the proposed relocation of Pump Station Road South of the
existing gas regulation substation, Powell stated there is a low spot
there, and if the road crosses the gas line, a tremendous amount of fill
work will have to be done, and a transition will have to be made to
take the road back up. The existing gas lines are high pressure, and a lot
of excavation will have to be done to install sub -base sufficient to
support the weight of the trucks that will be serving this area.
Clayton stated that he is recommending 60 ft. radii instead of the
proposed 50 ft. radii at intersections. He stated that the 40 ft. tractor
trailers are currently breaking down curbs, gutter and drainage structures.
Powell requested a cost estimate from McClelland for construction
of roads.
4. Dennis Burrack (SWEPCO): Requested that the 25 ft. building setback down
the West side of Lot 9 be designated building setback and utility easement.
Requested that the 50 ft. building setback on the South side of Lot
8 also be designated building setback and utility easement. Burrack
stated that there is an existing easement on the South side of Lot 7.
He would like this easement to match up with the requested easement on the
South side of Lot 8. He stated that if some additional easement is needed
to match them up, that he would also like that dedicated.
Burrack stated that his utility lines would have to cross the gas
lines at the section line between 26/27. If this is a private easement,
some provision must be made so that he can cross it.
5. Kenneth Wagner (Arkansas Western Gas Company): Stated that Burrack
should see Frank O'Donnell, Operations Manager about crossing that easement.
Wagner stated that easements as requested by SWEPCO are find.
Wagner said that the plat shows two gas lines next to:PumpStation
Road running East/West. He stated that the gas line furthest South is
along the edge of the road right-of-way, and there is a gas regulator setting
over it. It follows the road to the Section line 26/27, then angles back
into private property, this line contains a 2" high pressure gas line.
The gas line shown North of the above mentioned line has been retired.
Wagner requested that the 50 ft. setback along the South sides of
Lots 9, 11 F 12 be designated setback and utility easement. He said however,
only 25 ft. would probably be utilized for utilities.

Wagner said that if the two gas lines running Northeasterly were to
be crossed, that Frank O'Donnell, Operating Manager should be contacted.
Quinn stated that Arkansas Western Gas Company has a blanket easement
on Lots 2, 7, 8 and parts of Lot 3, he said the developer is in the
process of executing a release for that blanket easement. According to the
conversations he has had with the Gas Company, the easements as shown on
this plat are adequate
6. Dick Shaw (Ma Bell): Asked that 25 ft. of utility easement be dedicated
on each side of the road that goes between Lots 9, 10 and 11
Dick Shaw asked what access would be provided to Lot 8. Quinn stated
that the Developers have acquired a right-of-way immediately North of
the Gas Regulator. Pavement will be installed for access to Lot 8. Quinn
stated that if Pump Station Road is relocated, or Combs Chapel reverts
back to usage, that access may come off Pump Station Road.
Shaw requested that the 25 ft. easement requested by the Gas Company
be extended all the way around the cul-de-sac between Lots 9, 10, 11,r.:._:
3 $ 4. Quinn said that if the easement around the cul-de-sac is to be 25 ft.,
there may be a problem getting around the Revolutionary War Monument on the
West side of the street. It was agreed that on the West side of the street,
the whole 50 ft. of setback would be designated so that the monument would
not be disturbed.
Bobbie Jones asked Clayton Powell if the 40 ft. of right-of-way for
Pump Station Road that is reflected on the plat is adequate. Clayton stated
that he feels all streets within the Industrial Park should be 80 ft.
rights-of-way with a minimum 60 ft. radius within the culs-de-sac. He
further stated that the 40 ft. tractor trailers that will serve the industries
within the Industrial Park cannot manuever around on 40 ft. streets.
7. Wally Brt. (City Sanitation Superintendent): Stated that he agrees with
Clayton Powell, that the street width on the culs-de-sac should be 80 ft.
with a 75 ft driving radius in the cul.
Clayton Powell stated that Lots 13 and 5 look land locked. Bobbie
Jones stated that these lots will have access to Armstrong Avenue.
Quinn stated that the Parks Board has expressed some interest in
developing Lot 13. Since it lies in the Floodway and the 100 Year Flood
Plain, it is unsuitable for any kind of development.
Wally Brt stated that the Developers of these lots may as well build
streets that will support the tractor trailers that will be serving them.
8. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator):
A. Part of this subdivision lies in the Flood way and in the 100 Year
Flood Plain.
B. There is an ordinance which states that all buildings in the Industrial
Park will have a floor elevation of 1193 MSL.
• C. Bobbie asked if the Developers are planning on doing any regrading,

or rechanelization in the Flood Plain. Quinn stated that some fill
work may be done. Bobbie Jones stated in that case, a Flood Plain
Permit must be obtained from the City Inspection Department.
D. Dimension the right-of-way on Pump Station Road from Armstrong Avenue
to the Section Line 26/27.
E. Clayton Powell is recommending an 80 ft. right-of-way and the
Master Street Plan requires a 60 ft. right-of-way for Pump Station
Road.
Quinn stated that there is only one area along the street that
is not 80 ft. that portion lies at the Southeast Corner of the
Combs Cemetery and extends West for about 150 ft. at this point
it is 60 ft. and then it goes back to an 80 ft. West of that point.
F. Bobbie Jones stated that a lot split is being processed on some of
the property along Pump Station Road. She stated that a provision
must be made as far as dedicating right-of-way for the proposed
relocation of Pump Station Road
Clayton Powell stated that construction of Pump Station Road has
already started and extends to the West side of the Warren Tool Company
property. If the right-of-way for Pump Station Road is altered,
drainage structures will have to be redesigned, and, also, the
road that has been constructed will have to be partially torn out
to accomodate jogs.
G. The Developers have requested a waiver of the sidewalk and street
light requirements even though Pump Station Road does not show
sidewalks on the Master Sidewalk Plan. These waivers will have to be
sought at the Board of Directors Level.
Clayton Powell stated it was his understanding, under current policy,
all new streets will have sidewalks. Clayton said he felt that sidewalks
are definitely needed in -the Industrial Park. Also, he did not recommend
a waiver of the street light requirements as crime and breakins and
robberies have increased.
Powell further stated that he felt that the selling price of the
lots within the Industrial Park were much too low, in some cases,
the cost of improvements exceeds the cost of the lot.
H. Bobbie Jones said that the legend should designate the 100 year
Flood Plain (legend states simply Flood Plain).
I. Regarding the possible donation of land in the Floodway and 100 Year
Flood Plain for parks lands. The Parks Board will have to accept
this land before that can be done.
