BRONZE TREE VILLAGE
BY RALPH BROPHY
NORTH OF TOWNSHIP RD , EAST OF COLLEGE
JerryMartin, Vice -President of Engineering Services, Springdale Arkansas,
stated that his firm has been retained by Mr. Brophy to handle the
construction of the improvements in Bronze Tree Village and that his
firm was not involved with either the preliminary or the final plat.
Martin stated that when his firm surveyed the property, they discovered
a six foot east -west error on the north property line. He has since
changed the figure to the shown 173.86 ft. and had it certified.
Because of this error, Martin said he has had to change some of the
dimensions between the property line and the buildings.
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell said that the 12.5 ft. combination drainage/utility easement
on the north end would be a problem. He stated that these combination
easements are no longer acceptable. Powell said that when an inspection
took place recently, sidewalk was in place on the south side of the
property and around the radius, but there is no sidewalk on either
side of Brophy Circle. Powell said that if sidewalk has been required
(as it has been here) then it must be installed before Certificates
of Occupancy can be issued.
Martin said that the combination easement had been approved on the
final plat.
Jones asked if Martin had compared the current drawing with the original
to see whether the balance of the north side easement had been included
at that time for the property to the north. She said the old plat
shows a total of 25ft. for combination improved utility/drainage easement.
Martin said the improvements for this easement are complete.

Jones said the 4 ft. concrete sidewalk along the west side of Brophy
Circle does need to be shown on the plat and installed before further
construction takes place.
Powell said the policy for sidewalks is to have them built uniformly
throughout the entire subdivision immediately behind the curb or on
the property line extending towards the back of the curb and that
the rip -rap needs to be installed on the north end as requested.
Don Bunn said that originally the utilities were to be closer to the
roadway and in the right-of-way which may conflict with the sidewalk.
It was determined that all of the utility companies had requested
conduit on the north property side because of drainage being adjacent.
Jones asked Martin if Brophy has plans to continue with the remainder
of this project and Martin replied that he did. Martin said that
in this part of the project, buildings 1 & 2 and 9 & 10 are already
built and there are plans to construct buildings 3 through 8.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER AMEX
Ferguson said that Warner does not currently serve this development
and if they do begin service here they will need the requested conduit.
Martin asked if the final plat of this project had been approved and
Mrs. Jones said it had been. Jones said that Brophy needed to be
told of the conduit requirement requested for the north side buildings.
Jones read from the Plat Review minutes regarding the final plat of
Bronze Tree Village (7-3-80). She said that Floyd Hornaday (SWEPCO
representative) had asked for the 25 ft. setback on the west side
of Brophy to be a utility easement; a 20 ft. utility easement between
Blocks 5C & 5D and to use the existing easement between Blocks 5A
& 5B. She said Ferguson had asked that the setback along Township
Rd. be an easement and he had requested that the developer install
2" PVC casting in this area with sweep elbows..into the easement on
the west side...also request the developer install 2" PVC schedule
40 between Blocks A & B...and under the driveway. She said Dick Shaw
had agreed to the easements requested by the other utilities includ-
ing ....150 ft. of 4" pipe in the easement on the south side setback
....utility easement of 4" conduit between Blocks 5A & 5B a major
terminal on the southwest corner of the south side easement.
Jones said that by her interpretation, these requests by the utility
companies will stand if they are to serve this development.

CONNIE SKINNER — SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Skinner said she could serve buildings 1 & 2 from Township Rd. but
would need conduit on the north side to serve buildings 3 thru 8.
KENNETH WAGNER — ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
The clerk read comments from Wagner who was unable to attend today's
meeting: "The easements are acceptable as shown, gas is available,
& easements need to be cleared & brought to grade before installation."
L.O. FERGUSON — WARNER AMEX CABLE
Ferguson said he could serve Lots 1 & 2 with overhead cable but Lots
3 & 4 would be a problem and will need underground conduit for service.
DON OSBURN — CITY ENGINEER
The clerk read comments from Don Osburn who, also, was unable to attend
today's meeting: "There is a problem with the name being South Brophy
Circle because the 'south' indicates that it may be in the south part
of town. He requested this be changed."
WALLY BBT — SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
Brt said he needs a letter giving him permission to drive his sanitation
trucks on this private street and added that there was no problem
with using a dumpster.
BOBBIE JONES — PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR
Jones said the sidewalk will need to be installed and if one-half
of this development is already completed, the sidewalk needs to be
in now. She advised Martin that if 10 copies of the plat with required
revisions could be in her office by Monday, July 9, this project could
be presented at the July 23, 1984 meeting of the Planning Commission.
Martin asked if the installation of the sidewalk would be a provision
of approval of the final plat and Jones replied that it probably would
and that it needs to be shown on the plat. Powell advised that the
sidewalk does need to extend all the way to the north perimeter of
Phase I, Block 5A.
Martin asked about the conduit installation on the north side and
was advised that it was required.
Jones said that the adjoining property owners will need to sign this
plat and a sign needs to be posted identifying "Bronze Tree" as a
private street.

WILSON COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL CENTER
LINDSEY CONSTRUCTION
VANTAGE SQUARE SUBDIVISION — FRONT ST.
The second item on the agenda was the discussion of the preliminary
plat for a Commercial and Retail Center in Vantage Square Subdivision
located on Front Street, by Lindsey Construction Co.
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell stated that Front Street, an existing dedicated street, does
meet City standards He asked that all on-site drainage be collected
in a catch basin or curb drop inlet or carried to the rear property
line where there is an existing drainage ditch. Powell indicated
that the developer could tap into the existing inlet on Front Street
between the drives but Carnahan, representative for Lindsey Const. said
the culvert at that point is silted full. Powell said he wants, stated
on the plat, that the property owner will maintain the unimproved
drainage ditch on the east side of the property.
WALLY BRT - SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
Brt said that the size of the dumpster pad should be 12 X 30 and the
fronts of the trash container(s) should remain open.
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Comments from Wagner reported by the clerk included the request for
a 25 ft. utility easement on the east side of the building.
DON OSBORN - WATER METER SUPERINTENDENT
Requests from Osburn as reported by the clerk included an inquiry
as to whether the buildings will be divided and if so, he asked if
the buildings will have separate street numbers or a single address
with suite numbers for the individual spaces. Carnahan said he would
meet with Osburn about this issue but indicated that he has a separate
plat showing the divisions within the complex and agreed to give Jones
at least two copies of said plat as she requested.
CONNIE SKINNER - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Skinner stated she will serve this development from the Colony Shop
box with 2" conduit running underneath both drives as shown. She
said she will put exterior terminals on the buildings and on either

side of the fire walls and internal wiring will begin in the attics.
DENNIS BURRACK - SWEPCO
Burrack said conduit will need to be provided under Front Street up
to the north end of the building in order to be served from the west
side. He informed Carnahan that there was an overage charge for primary
lines of 250 ft. with the developer installing the conduit and the
transformer pad to SWEPCO's specifications.
DeNoon stated that he may use 3-phase service. He said they could
connect with a service pole at the south corner of the building and
travel along the south side of the building to the east side of the
property.
Burrack said if he were to serve both this project and El Chico's
to the north, he would need to know the power load expected and El
Chico's need to be notified that this would be their point of service.
Carnahan told Burrack that five streetlights are installed and that
he would like to install some interior lights with SWEPCO's assistance.
Burrack specified that single-phase service required 2" schedule 40
PVC and 3-phase required 4" schedule 40 PVC with the elbows being
rigid, long, steel sweeps.
L. 0. FERGUSON - WARNER AMEX CABLE
Ferguson said if T.V. service is desired, the developer must furnish
him with 2" conduit under Front Street and he will direct bury it
from that point He added that he would like to install his cable
at the same time as the electric lines are installed. Ferguson said
he could run cable under the blacktop between El Chico's and this
project to serve them both if El Chico's wished to include T.V. service.
LARRY POAGE - FIRE INSPECTOR
Poage recommended building the fire extinguishers into cabinets and
he requested to know if there would be any back doors on any of the
units. Carnahan said that only the corner unit would have a back
door and that there was a possibility of the detached building housing
a fast -food -restaurant. Poage asked that the fire hydrants be shown
on the plat.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
• Bunn said he would like the water meters fairly close to the building.
He expressed his concern about available truck access to read the

meters around the back of the buildings and Jones said that Osburn
will want a number on the unit with a back door. Carnahan indicated
that they will use a separate meter for the sprinkler system in the
planter boxes and that they would like a 2" meter. Bunn said it would
be better to place the meters on the street side and he requested
the builder to be careful not to place the slab for the trash container
over the water line planned on the the southwest corner. Carnahan
said the sewer line would be 6" services and Bunn reminded him to
be sure the back area (east side) is well enough drained to support
a truck for meter reading. Carnahan said he would eliminate a parking
space near the trash container to help facilitate the meter -reading
truck route.
BOBBIE JONES - PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR
Jones asked for the lot numbers and was told they are #5, I/6 & I/7.
She reported that there is an existing 25 ft. dedicated utility easement
on both the east and west sides of the property and she inquired if
the developer will be adding a 10 ft. utility easement on the north
and south sides to which Carnahan answered they would.
Jones advised that she was concerned about traffic exiting the southern-
most drive having clear unimpeded vision and that the developers must
be certain that the screening shrubbery leaves a clear vision area.
Carnahan said about 68 feet existed between the end of the screening
on the west side of the dumpster to the beginning of the drive and
Jones said that would be enough for safety purposes. Carnahan volunteered
to square up the dumpster configuration and move it back from the
street allowing even more visual space for traffic. Jones replied
that this would create a problem only if the property owner to the
south of this desired a driveway in close proximity.
Jones said she needed any requests for waivers in letter form and
that an she needed an "as -built" before the final plat was approved.
She added that paving and striping were necessary in the parking areas
as well as some type of wheel stops around the outside of the property.
Jones said that visibility will need to be checked wherever "green
spaces" were planted. She said a 5 ft. sidewalk (in addition to the
curb) is required and it could be set against the curb. She concluded
that there are 75 parking spaces and four of these will need to be
designated as "handicapped".
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:45.
