A meeting of the Plat Review Committee of The City of Fayetteville
was held on Thursday, March 22, 1984 at 9:00 a.m. in the Fayetteville
Chamber of Commerce.
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Kenneth Wagner, Connie Skinner,
Floyd Hornaday, and L. 0. Ferguson.
CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Clayton Powell, Bobbie Jones, &

OTHERS PRESENT: Harry Gray, & Mr. Cramer.
YEATER AVENUE -STREET CLOSING
BILL KENNEDY
The first item to be discussed was the closing of Yeater Avenue.
Harry Gray was present to represent this matter.
DON BUNN, CITY ENGINEER:
Bunn was not present, but Bobbie Jones, Planning Administrator, opened
the meeting by presenting Bunn's comments. Bunn advised that he had
no objection to the vacation of Yeater Avenue. Bunn stated that there
is a 12" water line which crosses Yeater on a slight angle about 180-200'
south of Spring Street. An easement of 15' in width should be retained
for this line.
Harry Gray agreed that easements did need to be kept for sewer due
to the fact that mach of the property in this area has not been developed.
CLAYTON POWELL, CITY STREET SUPERINTENDENT:
Powell stated that Yeater Avenue is a dedicated, platted, but never
improved street right-of-way which provides double frontage for lots
fronting Fletcher and Olive Streets. Powell stated that for street
purposes, it has no practical use, with the exception that 20' should
be retained off the south end.
KENNETH WAGNER, ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS:
Wagner advised that there is currently a gas line extending south
of Spring Street to serve Lots 1 & 2 of Block 4. Wagner stated there
was no objection to closing the street, but would like to maintain
a 25' utility easement along the very eastern -most edge of the property
line of Lots 1 & 2, Block 4 of the Harrison Subdivision, with a 25'
utility easement running east of Yeater Avenue.

Wagner advised that if Fletcher Street is ever opened up, Arkansas
Western Gas can extend the gas line on Fletcher Street. If not, Arkansas
Western Gas would like to extend the easement all the way across the
lots, Lots 1-9 of Block 4.
CONNIE SKINNER, SOUTHWESTERN BELL:
Skinner stated that the telephone company was going to request a 25'
easement all the way down the east side of Yeater Avenue, and would
be in agreement with the other utility companies.
FLOYD HORNADAY, SWEPCO:
Hornaday advised that none of the utility companies have a problem
with vacating this right-of-way as long as adequate easements can
be maintained. Hornaday stated that SWEPCO had one service that was
on the north side which will be a problem. Hornaday stated he would
like a 30' utility easement along the east side of Yeater Avenue.
WALLY BAT, CITY SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT:
Brt was not present, but had no objections.
REPLAT COLT SQUARE
JOHNIE BASSETT
The next item to be discussed was the matter of the Replat of Colt
Square Subdivision. Mr. James Cramer was present to represent this
matter.
DON BUNN, CITY ENGINEER:
Bunn was not present, but Jones presented his comments as follows:
Bunn stated that Lots 3 & 4, Block 2 of the replat of Colt Square
will be without direct access to the sewer. Mains should be extended
to serve those lots. All of the lots with the exception of Lot 1
are across paved streets. Bunn stated it would be his recommendation
that a sewer main be extended from the west side of Colt Square Drive
east across Colt Square Drive and between Lots 3, 4 & 5 and Lots 6,
7 & 8 and continue east to the northwest corner of Lot 10. If the
grade is not sufficient to allow for this, the sewer could come from
the 15" line on the east side of Green Acres. All of the lots would
then have direct access to a sewer without the necessity to cut a
paved street for individual connections.
CLAYTON POWELL, CITY STREET SUPERINTENDENT:
Powell stated that this is a complete subdivision and the streets,
etc. are in place, and has no objection to replatting the lot lines.

Powell stated he would object to creating a situation whereby utility
cuts would need to be made in the streets. Powell stated there is
currently a problem at the intersection of Green Acres Road and Township,
with street erosion for no apparent cause.
KENNETH WAGNER, ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS:
Wagner requested that the 20' easement currently shown on the plat
be changed to a 30' utility easement, if the sewer is located there,
all the way from east to west down the center of the block. Wagner
stated that eventually, the gas line will go all the way to the north
along the west side of Green Acres Road.
FLOYD HORNADAY, SWEPCO
Hornaday requested that the north/south 20' easement be retained as
SWEPCO will need this easement to serve the area. Hornaday advised
that SWEPCO will have to determine type of service at the time of
development. Hornaday stated that other easements as requested are
sufficient. Hornaday advised that the street lights are in at this
location.
L. 0. FERGUSON, WARNER AMEX CABLE:
Ferguson advised that Warner Amex Cable had no facilities in this
area whatsoever. Ferguson advised that Warner Amex Cable will work
with the developers or whoever happens to build in the area. If the
service is to be buried, Warner Amex Cable will request that the developer
cut or bore the street and furnish conduit to go under the street.
CONNIE SKINNER, SOUTHWESTERN BELL:
Skinner advised that Southwestern Bell agrees with all of the easements
as requested by the other utilities, except that due to the facilities
at Colt Square, Southwestern Bell requests a 20' easement between
Lots 8 & 9 of Block 2, going north/south.
BOBBIE JONES, PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR:
Jones stated that none of this Block is in the flood plain.
Jones requested that Mr. Cramer add his name and mailing address in
the legend area.
Jones requested that the Zoning Legend be changed to read Thoroughfare
Commercial in lieu of Commercial Thoroughfare.

this developer is required to notify the surrounding property owners
within 100' of the development, either obtaining signatures of the
surrounding property owners, or sending a certified letter allowing
10 days time for the return receipt. Jones advised that two weeks
would be better. Proof of notification will need to be received in
the Planning Office before the Planning Commission Meeting.
Jones advised that the street lights need to be shown on the plat.
Jones advised that the original plat showed sidewalks all the way
around the block, and these will need to be shown on this plat as
well. Jones advised that a 5' sidewalk is required in a commercial
zone.
Jones advised that existing utilities should be shown if there are
any present in this subdivision.
Jones advised that the subdivision should be tied down by section,
range and township, advising that there is a section line east of
the middle of the block. Jones requested that the legal description
tie back to this as well.

LENWYN R. OR KATHY EDENS
646 W. SYCAMORE
LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT
Jones advised that all utility companies had requested a 25' easement
outside the right-of-way to Chestnut on the east side or the west
side of his lot. He had planned to have all of his utilities placed
on the west side of the building. Now, the building will be facing
west, and would like the utilities along the east side of the property,
and is offering a 25' utility easement down the east property line.
All utilities were in agreement that they would need to see Mr. Edens'
plan and would discuss the matter with him directly upon presentation
of his revised plan, as they wished to have their records present
at the time of discussion.
Wagner stated that he did advise Mr. Edens that the easement would
need to go all the way around the property line. Wagner stated that
the easement would go down the east property line, but on the north
