UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Avery Auten, Ken Wagner, Jim Crownover, CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Larry Poage, Cynthia Stewart, Bobbie Jones, Don Bunn, Bill Boudrey and Wally Brt. OTHERS PRESENT: Harry Gray. The Committee considered the LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT Large Scale Development Plan for PROPOSED ADDITION TO an addition to the Mexican Original MEXICAN ORIGINALS facility at the Southeast corner of the intersection of Huntsville Road (Highway 16 East): and Happy Hollow Road (Highway 16 Bypass). Property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial District. Harry Gray was present to represent. 1. Larry Poage (Fire Inspector): Stated that since there is so much fence around the site, fire protection is a problem. He stated with this development a fire hydrant should be placed on the property. He felt the difference in insurance premiums would probably make this worth the developer's while. Poage asked Gray if Mexican Originals would have any problem running the plug out to Ray Street. Gray stated he thought the developers would object because they will not want to incur the cost. The hydrant will probably be centrally located on the site. However, Mexican Originals would like to loop the water service with another line to the Southwest in order to get more dependable water service, and perhaps something could be worked out. 2. Wally Brt (Sanitation Superintendent): Stated the addition would create a need for an additional 6 -yard container. He stated there is not room for another container where the existing container is located. He will work with the developer on the location of the required container. 3. Don Bunn (City Engineer): Harry Gray and Don Bunn discussed what would be involved in looping the water service. Gray stated the City also needs a loop in this area, perhaps something could be worked out between running the loop between the developer and the City. Bunn said that with loop service certain precautions will have to be taken to prevent back flow. Gray stated Mexican Originals is separating its waste.dnto Process waste and Domestic waste and it will be carried in separate lines. Don Bunn asked what the chance was of obtaining an easement to run a plug over to Ray Street at the Southeast corner of the property as mentioned by Larry Poage. Gray stated an easement would probably be no problem if it is on the South property line. He stated he would like to keep the property as clear as possible in case future expansion occurs. ISI Plat Review Committee Meeting • April 1, 1982 Page 2 • • Bobbie Jones asked the nature of the easements shown "to be abandoned". Gray stated they are right-of-way,and water and sewer pipe line easements dedicated to the City of Fayetteville. Bunn requested copies of the easements to be vacated. Bunn requested a 15 ft. easement to extend from the Southwest corner of the property straight across to the Southeast corner of the property if the plug is run to the Southeast corner.next to Ray Avenue. Gray stated he was a little concerned about funds. With this expansion, sidewalks will have to be installed and Ray Avenue may have to be improved; Ray is paved but it does not have curb and gutter. The developers plan to pursue variances. Bobbie Jones stated that the area between Mexican Originals and Ray Avenue is fenced off from access, so actually Mexican Originals will not derive much benefit if it is improved. 4. Jim Crownover (Ozarks Electric Cooperative): Stated there is a transformer and vault located in the area marked proposed warehouse in the middle of the property. He stated they will have to be relocated; the transformer cannot be enclosed. Crownover stated easements as shown are fine for Ozarks Electric and stated he would locate and mark their.lines on the site. Crownover stated care would have to be taken in the location of the truck scale as there is a line running through that area. 5. Kenneth Wagner (Arkansas Western Gas Company): There is an existing gas meter serving the production portion of the development which sits at the Southeast corner of the warehouse, there is a high pressure gas line on the East side of the property and running South on the West side of Ray Avenue. There is another gas line of intermediate size that extends Northeast and parallel with the warehouse approximately 15 ft. out from the warehouse, it ties into a line in Huntsville Road, this line serves the Union Office, drug store and barber shop; Wagner said that there is no gas located in the easements requested to be abandoned. On the West side of the property there is a gas line that comes off Highway 16 Bypass and extends South 8-10 ft. West of the Laundry Room and supermarket then goes to the liquor store and the repair shop. Wagner felt there was enough service on the site to serve Mexican Originals needs. Wagner felt there was enough gas service on the site to take care of any future needs as well. 6. Avery.Auten (MA BELL)::. Stated it appears there is plenty of cable on the site to serve the expansion. There is cable in conduit from the.. Northeast corner of the Mexican Original Warehouse on the East side that comes across the proposed warehouse area. There is a terminal in the Mexican Original Retail area the cable goes from there to the supermarket. Auten stated he did not know what would happen where the line crosses the warehouse area, if the ceiling is high enough, perhaps it can be put there. Phone service is not located in the easement to be abandoned. There is cable from the Southeast corner of the property to the warehouse which is supposed to be enclosed in conduit. South of the warehouse Baa Plat Review Committee Meeting April 1, 1982 Page 3 there is cable that comes in just South of the that runs South from Ray Street right straight the space between the proposed freezer and the a cable that will have to be located.
