WALNUT GROVE NORTH (MICHELLE ADDITION)
MT. COMFORT & SALEM RDS.- J.B. HAYS
The first item of consideration today was the preliminary plat of
Walnut Grove North Subdivision. Ervan Wimberly, representative of
the developer, advised that the name has been changed from Walnut
to Michelle Addition. He advised that several lots in this proposed
addition are being presented for rezoning to R-2 in order to construct
duplexes.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Jones gave comments from Bunn who was unable to attend this meeting:
He said he saw no problems.
KENNETH RADER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Rader stated that the easements look fine and he saw no problems.
He added that there is an existing three-phase on Mt. Comfort Road.
Wimberly advised that he may wish to keep the large trees along the
east boundary and run the power lines down Salem Road.
CONNIE EDNONSTON - PARKS AND RECREATION
Edmonston advised that, based on the lots represented (single-family
and duplex units) the amount of land required would be a total of
1.29 acres (.75/single-family and .54/duplexes) or $10,890 cash in
lieu of land. She noted that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
will meet July 15 to discuss this addition.
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell noted that Salem Road should be called Salem Road all the way
from Mt. Comfort Road on this development's north border to Highway
16 on Walnut Grove Addition's (Bryce Davis - developer) south border.
Powell. advised that Salem is a collector street with 60 ft. of r/w

and if any future widening takes place to 49ft. (four 12' lanes) with
a sidewalk along each side, additional r/w may be required to accomodate
utility poles if they are relocated to the street r/w. He noted that
subdivisions abutting unimproved street must bring that street up
to current City standards. Powell advised that, unless a waiver is
granted, 15.5' from centerline of Mt. Comfort Road to the south must
be improved with curb and gutter, sidewalk and storm drainage for
the entire width.
Powell said the storm drainage shown looks fine with the exception
of a question on Lots 38-61. He said he would reserve final approval
of storm drainage from the actual street plans and profiles. He noted
a storm drain in a 16' utility easement on the SW corner and added
that he can't maintain it at less than 20' and he would prefer 25'.
Powell also said that he could not have utilities in any storm drainage
easement unless the utility companies and property owners understand
that he will not be responsible for maintaining utilities in drainage
easements. He said that positive drainage to a natural outlet is needed
at the south end of where it exits Phase I. He advised that the Planning
Commission needs to address whether or not street stub -outs (at the
perimeters of subdivisions) are to be constructed and whether or not
curb turn -outs will be required if this is to be a policy. He suggested
the two alternatives as 1. built to current standards 2. straight
curb -line with r/w 3. straight curb -line with dedication of r/w and
cut to grade.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER AMEX CABLE
Ferguson advised that there is an existing cable along Mt. Comfort
Road and he requested the location of the overhead line before this
development progresses. He requested 2" schedule 40 PVC conduit in
the easements at the street crossings.
TOM MCILROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL
Mcllroy was unable to attend this meeting meeting but called later
in the day to note that the easements as shown look fine.
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Wagner said he will install a high pressure plastic gas line along
the east boundary and replace the steel line along Mt. Comfort Rd. with
4" (to Rupple Road). He added that there is an existing 2" high pressure
gas line on the south side of Mt. Comfort Road. Wagner requested
the building setbacks to be designated as utility easements. He noted
that the trees should be cleared along the easement on the east side
and requested four road crossings to be installed by the gas company
(three on Mt. Comfort, one in the east leg of the development). Wimberly
advised that he anticipates the Planning Commission will request one
street be extended east -west resulting in the loss of a lot.

corners.
Brt was unable to attend this meeting but had commented to the Planning
Clerk that he had no problems with this plat.
BOBBIE JONES - PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR
Jones advised that this developer has submitted application for rezoning
on Lots 26 through 38 and on Lots 57 through 70. She said the streetlight
spacing looks good and no waiver will be required. She also noted
that no sidewalks have been shown and they are required on the south
side of Mt. Comfort (4 ft. concrete) as well as on one side of the
remaining streets. Jones read a section of City code that requires
streets "to be consistent with natural alignment and extensions of
existing streets and new street names must be used which will not
duplicate or be confused with existing names".
Jones reiterated Powell's comments regarding street stubs and added
that she felt if said stubs are left unimproved, something should
be indicated in the covenants that driveway access is prohibited unto
them until they are improved to street standards.
Wimberly said he thought it would be best to have such rights-of-way
cleared at the time the subdivision is beginning development so as
not to be a surprise to potential buyers.
Jones requested property owners within 100 ft. be notified by 1. signing
a plat; 2. certified letter, return receipt requested; or 3. an ad
in the newspaper. She also requested a mailing list of these property
owners. Jones said that there has not been a rezoning of the property
to the south labeled "future multi -family PUD" and in the absence
of a submittal for approval, the Planning Commission in approving
the preliminary plat, should acknowledge the fact that this is a possible
future development which they are not endorsing at this time.
Jones requested an outline of the proposed convenants and advised
that 10 copies of revisions are due in the Planning Office by July
1st for presentation to the Planning Commission on July 8th.
Powell commented that he felt the City should consider four-laneing
Salem Road from Mt. Comfort to Highway 16 West because of the density
including R-2 duplexes and multi -family PUDs, condos and commercial.

PARK PLACE PHASE III & IV FINAL PLAT
HIGHWAYS 45 & 265 — J. B. HAYS
The second item of consideration today was the final plat of Park
Place Phases III & IV located near Highways 45 and 265. Developed
by J. B. Hays and represented today by Ervan Wimberly.
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell advised that he is still waiting for an overall drainage plan
for Park Place as previously requested. He noted that there are no
drainage easements shown on this plat although one is planned along
Revere Place through the recreation area (open drainage ditch to be
maintained by POA). Powell said he will review the street plans and
profiles for drainage as this development progresses. He added that
the streets were approved on Lensfield and Revere as far as the PUD
area but repeated that the overall drainage plan has not been submitted.
Jones noted that a contract is needed for the required improvements
that have not been completed at this time.
IVAN FAULKNER - SWEPCO
Faulkner said the plat looks fine. He noted that he will be using
the two 15' utility easement crossings in the recreation area to serve
these phases and that he will be adding an overhead line down the
east side of the rec area. Faulkner pointed out that an additional
streetlight will probably be required at the corner of Revere and
Cambridge Road and that he will require the building setback to be
designated as utility easement at that location to accomodate the
light. He said he will be using the easement along the south side
of phase IV and noted that this plat shows only 12.5 ft. while 25
ft. is necessary. In answer to Wimberly's request for an underground
feeder, Faulkner advised that it would be extremely costly as well
as very inconvenient. He also requested that the developer try to
complete Lots 1-8 first. Faulkner advised that street crossings with
36' of cover and 3" schedule 40 PVC will be necessary on the north
side of Phase III, between Phase III & IV and on the south side of
Phase IV on Cambridge Rd. and on Revere Place where the rec area and
Phase IV meet.
DENNIS LEDBETTER - ASST. FIRE INSPECTOR
Ledbetter said he saw no problems with this plat.
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Wagner advised that gas is already in on the north side of phase III
and added that he will put in a road crossing on the south side of
phase IV in a double loop with a two-way feed. He said he will need

a road crossing on Revere at the east side of this project. Wagner
said it is scheduled for 90 days from now. He said he will not need
road crossings between Phase II & III or III & IV but he will need
one between Phase IV & V, at AWG expense. He advised that if any
lots have been sold he will need separate contracts for them.
L. 0. FERGUSON - WARNER AMEX CABLE
Ferguson requested the same crossings as Faulkner with 2" schedule
40 PVC on Cambridge between Phases III & IV as well as on the south
side and on Revere Place between Lots 1 & 18.
BOBBIE JONES - PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR
Jones pointed out a spelling error in the text of the "Certificate
of Building Set -Back Dimensions". She advised that, if any of these
lots transfer prior to the recording of the plat, those property owners
must sign this plat. Jones noted that there is a discrepancy between
the legal and the section line placement (on the vicinity map) that
needs to be corrected. She added that some pins and monuments have
been omitted. Jones requested that the utility easement south of
Phase IV be recorded and noted on the plat. She asked for a copy
of the covenants and advised that a contract will need to be executed
as all improvements have not been installed at this time. She said
a permit can be issued once the curb is cut and staked, but occupancy
ill not be permitted unless the lots are released from contract.
Jones advised that the parks fee will need to be paid or the issue
must be revived at some point.
Jones advised that the City will not enforce setbacks in excess of
25' and that it will become the responsibility of the POA. She noted
that an additional streetlight will be needed in the rec area and
Wimberly added that sidewalk has previously been requested on both
sides of Revere Place out to Highway 265. Jones requested that the
lot lines and the easements abutting the subdivision be shown on the
plat and that the sidewalk width be clarified. She noted that 10
copies of revisions are due in the Planning Office Monday, July 1st
for presentation to the Planning Commission on July 8th.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:15.
