A meeting of the Plat Review Committee was held on Thursday, March
21, 1985 at 9:00 a.m. in Room 111 of the City Administration Building,
113 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville Arkansas.
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Kenneth Wagner, L. 0. Ferguson,
Dennis Burrack and Tom Mcllroy
CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Clayton Powell, Larry Poage, Don
Bunn, Don Osburn and Paula Brandeis
HOWELL TRUMBO RETAIL/OFFICE BID.
FRONT AVENUE AT JOYCE STREET
The only item of consideration today was a large scale development
submitted by Howell Trumbo for a retail/office building located on
Front Avenue at Joyce Street and represented by Trumbo and Don Hunnicutt.
Development at this location had been presented as "Sam Wilson Retail
and Office Complex" on July 5, 1984 and abandoned by Lindsey & Assoc.
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell said that his comments remain as July 5, 1984. He said Front
Street is a dedicated street that meets current standards right-of-way
and construction wise. He asked that on-site drainage be brought
to the drop inlet and not drained onto the driveway. Powell noted
that all driveways and sidewalks need wheelchair ramps and he added
that he will take care of the culvert on Front Street that at one
time was silted full.
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Wagner noted that the 11 ft. easement shown on the north side will
not be wide enough. He said if cable, telephone and electric are
all in the same easement they could use a 17 ft. easement including
the three ft. overhang. He requested a drawing of individual spaces
within the building. Hunnicutt said this information could be provided
as it becomes certain where the space divisions will be. He said
they plan to begin construction in about a month.
WALLY BRT - SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
Brt said the location of the trash dumpster was fine.

LARRY POACH — FIRE INSPECTOR
Poage requested one fire extinguisher per business and noted that
when a space is more than 50 ft., two exit doors are required. Hunnicutt
said that two doors for each space are planned. Poage recommended
5 and 10 pound extinguishers depending on the hazard and advised that
details of fire walls be worked out with Building Inspector, Freeman
Wood. He noted that when a utility goes through a fire wall, that
wall needs to be patched and not left open.
TON MCILROY — SOUTHWESTERN BELL
Mcllroy expressed the same concern as Wagner regarding the size of
the north side easement. He advised that he will not need to penetrate
the fire wall but will need to see a building diagram with fire walls
located so that he can provide service to each section of the building.
He requested that the 3" PVC under the drive in front of the building
be made 4" as he will use one of them. Mcllroy requested 3" conduit
under the ends of the parking lot where it meets the property line.
Hunnicutt said that the north side utility easement could be widened
by shortening the building and moving it south.
DENNIS BURRACK — SWEPCO
Burrack said he thought single phase, 120/240 service would be adequate
for this building. He said service can be had by going across Front
Street with a bore, at the developer's expense. He said this developments
service cannot be combined with El Chico's as requested by Hunnicutt.
Burrack requested steel pipe or concrete encasement under the parking
area on the south side. He said the easements are sufficient, with
the exception of the one on the north which he said would be alright
at 17 ft. Burrack requested a drawing of the fire wall locations
in order to place the transformers and he advised contact with SWEPCO
engineer, Ivan Faulkner, for final details on service.
L. 0. FERGUSON — WARNER AMEX CABLE
Ferguson agreed with the other utilities regarding the north side
easement and he requested 2" schedule 40 PVC under the area of the
trash dumpster connecting to the easement at the back. He said he
prefers to not go through the fire wall. Ferguson advised that providing
cable here would require time and materials because it is a commercial
building. He said that either the developer or the individual tenants
would be responsible for the cost of wiring each individual space
and he requested PVC running across Front Street.

DON BUNK - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn advised that sewer is available on Front Street and he added
that individual service is not necessary He said he would prefer
the water meters be in the front, perhaps in the area of the sidewalks
or in the planter area as it is too difficult to get to meters when
placed at the rear of the buildings, particularly as there is no truck
access shown on this plan. Bunn advised to check the depth on the
manholes before setting the elevation of the sewer line to be sure
that the lines will get to them. He said a tap could be made near
the south end but the best location would be near the north end.
DON OSBORN - WATER METER SUPERINTENDENT
Osburn noted that the address of this development will be 3808 Front
Avenue and that suite numbers should be used beginning at the southwest
corner and moving east, north, then west to the northwest corner.
He advised that a site card is necessary when construction is begun
and permanent numbers attached to the building are required at completion
before the meters will be set.
PAULA BRANDEIS - PLANNING SECRETARY
In the Planning Administrator's absence, the secretary made the following
comments: the parking, based on retail space requirements, is adequate;
108 spaces are required and 109 are being provided. Five spaces should
be handicapped and eight are shown; 22 compact spaces may be used
and only 19 are planned, these spaces must be striped and labeled.
Wheel stops must be provided around the perimeter. The building setbacks
are adequate, no additional right-of-way is necessary. A 5 ft. sidewalk
is required along the west boundary on Front Avenue. Landscaping
should be kept low to avoid obstructing vision at the driveway areas.
Brandeis advised that 10 copies of revisions should be in the Planning
Office no later than Monday, April 1 to be eligible for the Subdivision
Committee meeting of April 5 and the Planning Commission meeting of
April 8. Hunnicutt requested an appearance before the Subdivision
Committee on Friday, March 22 for approval at the March 25 meeting
of the Planning Commission. Brandeis agreed that the developer might
attend the meeting and make a request to be heard by the Subdivision
Committee at that time. She requested the copies of the plat with
revisions, as per today's comments, be hand delivered to Committee
members. She also advised that an "as -built" plan is required upon
completion before certificates of occupancy are issued.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
