Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas. February 21, 1985

CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT:
CHESTNUT II APARTMENTS
REVISIONS - CHESTNUT AT ELM
Clayton Powell, Don Bunn, Dennis
Ledbetter, Don Osburn and Wally
Brt
The only item of consideration today was the revisions for Chestnut
II Apartments located on Chestnut Street and Elm and represented by
Gary Carnahan.
Carnahan stated that 120 of the originally intended 240 units have
been built. He indicated that he is proposing four additional structures
in different positions than originally planned and then the project
will be considered finished. Carnahan presented a plat showing a reduction
of 24 units for a total of 96 new units. He explained that the creek
has cut across the corner of where he had planned to place a building
and that he has moved that building to a place which is the northern
most building on the plat. Carnahan said everything else is the same
as originally planned. He advised that the buildings will be on four
feet of fill, the parking lots will be on two feet of fill.
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell stated that the off-site rational nexus improvement requirements
remain the same as submitted originally. He noted that the drainage
ditch between Phase I and Phase II of this development still needs
to be cleared, grubbed and aligned as requested originally. He also
advised that the sidewalk, curb and gutter appear to end about 8 ft. from
the culvert pipe on the north end of Chestnut. He said the sidewalk
should come up to the headwall and the curb and gutter should extend
out to the end of the pavement with the headwall abutting against
the back of the curb to give it additional support. Powell advised
Carnahan that there is a sawcut in the asphalt from the end of the
existing curb and gutter to the end of the pavement on the north end
(about 20 ft.) which looks as though it was intended to be extended
but was not completed. Carnahan said he will also install storm culverts.

IVAN FAULRNER - MECO
Faulkner stated there are existing facilities in this development
that he will utilize. Be stated that he will need! the site brought
to grade and requested 2" conduit to be installed under the parking
lot near the sewer line. He requested a 25 ft. easement connecting
with the old easement (east/west) across the east end of the southern
most two buildings. Faulkner requested a 25 ft. easement from the
east end of the northern -most proposed building connecting to the
original easement to be carried north across the north parking lot
in 3" conduit* and from that point it will run to the northeast corner
of the existing northwest building. He inquired whether a light was
needed in the southern most parking lot and Carnahan agreed. They
agreed to eliminate a light in the parking lot near the northwest
corner of the southern -most proposed building. Faulkner explained
that the electrical runs will be in two loops using the east/west
(central) easement and picking up the east building from the end of
that east/west line.
*Faulkner stated that 3" conduit is required because the wire now
being utilized is one -aught.
L. 0. FERGUSON - WARNER-AMER CABLE
Ferguson said he could use the same easements as Faulkner but requested
2" schedule 40 PVC conduit under the parking area between the two
south buildings.
TOM MCILROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mcllroy said he will use the same easements for the two buildings
on the south end and requested 2" conduit under the parking lot.
He said he needs to know whether or not a pipe was installed under
the road at the central east/west easement and he demonstrated to
Carnahan, on the plat, the order in which he will connect the buildings.
Mcllroy said he will use the same easement on the east end of the
north building that Faulkner will use. He said he will "T" from the
center easement to service the south buildings and one to the north
of the east/west easement, then up the easement where the sewer line
is located to the northern most building, then through an existing
pipe near the existing manhole to the north most east end of the building

(in the same easement as requested by Faulkner) and then "T" at the
easement to the south to service the last building at the east end.
DENNIS LEDBETTER - ASSISTANT FIRE INSPECTOR
Ledbetter stated that he saw no problem with the revisions as presented.
DOA OSBURH - WATER METER SUPERINTENDENT
Osburn advised that the house numbers for these revisions will be
as follows: beginning at the southern most building 2060; next building
north 2076; next building north 2118; next building north 2130; building
to the east 2126; and the off -set northeast building 2132. He asked
if any new fire hydrants were being installed and Carnahan said none
are necessary. Carnahan indicated that the meter locations are the
same as originally planned and that one water line is in place. He
said he would like to begin moving dirt in about three weeks. Osburn
asked to set the meters after the school rush.
WALLY BBT - SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
After some discussion, Brt advised that the dumpster locations as
shown on this plat would be acceptable.
BOBBIE JONES - PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR
Jones noted that some of the easements that were 30 ft. wide on the
original plat have been shown as 25 ft. on the revised one. She said
the most northern building is very close to one of those easements
and said to be sure that the building clears it. Jones requested
the easements be shown on the drawing that permits will be issued
from. She advised that the dimension between building 2130 and 2132
should be shown.
Jones said at 216 units, as proposed, the parking requirement would
be 325 spaces; 350 are shown. She advised that the parking needs
to be striped and she asked that the area of land not owned by this
developer be shown on the drawing. Jones noted that there is an up -coming
ordinance that may prohibit connection of a structure to public sewer
even if the building were fixed two feet above flood plain level but
there may be some exceptions where documents have been recently filed
showing the flood plain. The purpose is to maintain natural habitat.
Jones advised that the question of whether this development will receive
a refund of a parks fee is still under consideration. She said that
at this time the Planning Commission is addressing a cut-off date

for developments that will be exempt from the greenspace ordinance.
Jones noted that the clerk may authorize a check request upon written
notice to do so from Mr. Grimes.
Jones advised Carnahan that, in the Bradford Place development, she
was able to authorize the requested 6 buildings/36 units, but if 6
units were desired in the remainder of the proposed buildings, it
will have to go before the Planning Commission.
Jones noted that the Subdivision Committee meeting to consider Chestnut
II revisions will be Friday and Carnahan would be notified of the
time first thing in the morning. Carnahan agreed to hand deliver
copies of the revisions of today's plat (per comments) to the Committee
members.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
