associates with each including either one or four
and sprinkler systems. He added that any openings
existing construction must have three-hour fire doors.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER

HAPPY HOLLOW - RAY ST. NORTH OF E. HUNTSVILLE RD
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell noted that the extension of Ray Street from Fourth Street to
build Happy Hollow School was built below existing standards because,
as a public agency, the school was not required to comply with regu-
lations. He said an additional 5 ft. of r -o -w from the perimeter
of the property on Ray Street is needed. He added that there is an
existing sidewalk on Ray as far as the south driveway with bituminous
curb and gutter (no sidewalk) from the south driveway to the north
driveway. Powell said he thought sidewalk was needed at this location
at this time.
JAMES CROWNOVER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Crownover noted that three-phase service is installed near Huntsville
Rd. and advised that it would be best to remain single phase for this
project. He requested the size of the additional load and the plans
for the existing electrical entrance. He requested mechanical and
electrical plans as soon as possible. Berger advised that the building
was planned originally to provide for this addition and a fire wall
will not be necessary between the old and the new.
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Wagner requested the size of the additional gas load as well as the
overall load. He requested a 25' utility easement on the east side
of Ray Street outside of the 5' additional street r/w to provide for
future expansion. Berger said that he hopes to have drawings ready
by early September and presented for bids bymid-September.
TOM McILROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mcllroy requested the same easement extended along the east side of
Ray Street.
LARRY POAGE - FIRE INSPECTOR
Poage advised that he was in agreement with Wood's earlier comments
on fire walls. He requested fire safety be addressed during construction
with fire extinguishers kept handy and said he would like to see the
fire extinguishers be built into cabinets upon completion. Poage
noted that fire hydrants are existing and that he saw no other problems.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin advised that parellel parking was acceptable in this plan
as there is a low traffic volume.

BOBBIE JONES - PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR
Jones agreed with Powell regarding r/w. She noted that the r/w easement
should read 25' from the centerline of Ray to the west property line
and the utility easement should read (eastward) 25' from the new r/w.
She said that the Planning Office can prepare these easements if it
is known who will sign the documents.
Jones agreed with Powell that sidewalks should be extended on the
east side of the street even though the Master Sidewalk Plan calls
for it to be on the west side. She inquired about the mobile home
on the property noting that the Planning Commission has approved these
units for security purposes. She noted that two handicapped parking
spaces are required.
Jones requested that a plus or minus dimension to the north, east
and south property line be added to the property plan section of this
site plan. She also advised that the parking spaces need to be striped
and noted that an "as -built" site plan is required showing the building,
improvements, parking, fencing and all utility connections into the
building as well as all easements.
• WASHINGTON — BOUNDED BY FORREST, HIGHLAND, LAFAYETTE & MAPLE

CLAYTON POWELL — STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell advised that r -o -w for the four bordering streets are as follows:
Highland: 25' from centerline of street to property line (5' additional);
Lafayette: 30' from centerline of street to property line (5' additional);
Forrest: 25' from centerline of street to property line; and,
Maple: 30' from centerline of street to property line.
Powell noted that he was not recommending any improvements to Lafayette
of Highland but added that a member of the school PTA has been notified
by the sidewalk inspector that the sidewalk was deteriorated and in
need of repair on the north side of Maple. The inspector also noted
that the curb and gutter are deteriorated at this location, there
is no sidewalk to the school and the street is only about 20' in width.
Powell recommended that all r/w be dedicated as requested and that
the entire perimeter of the school should be bounded by sidewalk at
the property line extending toward the back of the curb and gutter.
He noted that sidewalk is already in place on Highland and Lafayette.
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Wagner advised that some replacement of gas line has been done and
that this line may have been included. He said if it has not been
replaced and is less than 6', total volume needed should be looked

into. Wagner asked for the size of the additional load and noted
that the existing line is low pressure. He advised that the gas line
is along the south side of Maple behind the curb and requested a 25'
utility easement (minimum acceptable will be 20') on the outside of
the street r/w to provide for future street widening.
TOM McILROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mcllroy advised that service is on the east side of Highland Street,
the south side of Maple, the east side of Forrest and the south side
of Lafayette. He asked for a 20' utility easement for future widening
purposes on Highland and Maple and a 20' or preferably 25' easement
on Forrest. Mcllroy said he will probably need to relocate the existing
entrance facilities and asked to be notified when construction begins.
IVAN FAULKNER - SWEPGO
Faulkner asked to be contacted as soon as the engineers know the amount
of the additional load expected as it will take some time to receive
a transformer. He said service is currently 3-phase from the west
side of the building and added that he saw no problem with the added
load unless some change is desired from the existing service. Faulkner
requested the same easements as those requested by McIlroy and Wagner.
LARRY POAGE - FIRE INSPECTOR
Poage advised that there is a sprinkler system in this building and
requested the same in the additions. He said there may need to be
some discussion regarding the fire department hook up location. Poage
said he strongly recommended that construction not take place during
school session and also recommended not constructing both additions
simultaneously as exits will be blocked off. He said he would to
see fire extinguishers built into wall cabinets and noted that the
fire hydrant locations are acceptable for this school.
WALLY BRT - SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
Brt asked that the curb be deleted from in front of the dumpster location
as shown on this plan to allow for truck pick-up. He advised that
a concrete pad, 15' wide by 12' deep must be provided.
BOBBIE JONES - PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR
Jones said that she interpreted the 20'8" on Forrest to represent
the width of the existing street pavement. She repeated Powell's
request for 5' additional r/w on Highland and Lafayette and 10' on
Maple (30' from centerline). Jones advised that sidewalk is required
along all four bordering streets. She noted that setbacks, without
parking between the building and the street, should be 30' from the
new r/w line; shown is 26'. Jones said that one handicapped parking

space is shown but two are required and she added that this plan shows
10 parking spaces encroaching into street r/w. Berger replied that
he would work on revising that plan.
Jones requested an "as -built" plan submitted upon completion and advised
that two copies of plumbing and floor plans must be submitted to the
Inspection Department of which one copy will be stamped before being
sent to the State Board of Health in Little Rock
ASBELL — LAWSON AND SANG
LARRY POAGE — FIRE INSPECTOR
Poage advised that the proposed "central" addition covers 12 exit
units and noted that there is a section of code which addresses half
of all exit points being located at the front of a building. He said
that a four-hour fire wall could easily be utilized at this site and
added that an alternative exit plan must be provided if construction
takes place while school is in session. Poage said he would like
to have a contract stating that the contractors will supply their
own fire fighting equipment during construction.
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell advised that both Lewis and Sang have adequate r/w and added
that, because of the park on the Lewis Street side, he would not request
or recommend any improvements to Lewis. He pointed out that the park
area playfield has chronic drainage problems due to a disruption on
the north side at the time of Washington Plaza Apartment construction.
Powell made note that Northwest Engineers were to try to resolve the
problem but not much had been accomplished. He said the City has
had an extensive drainage study done in this area from Garland Ave. to
Porter Rd. and he added that two detention/retention ponds have been
recommended on the east side of the Mt. Comfort Rd. and Lewis Street
intersection, as well as ditch improvements on the west side of Lewis
meandering southwards.
Powell noted that the City has Bills of Assurance from other property
owners along Sang Street to bring the street up to standards at the
call of the City; he recommended the same for this situation.
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Wagner advised that there is an existing gas line on the west side
of Sang Avenue with a service running through the near -center of the
school with a meter in the front. He requested a 25" utility easement
east of the r/w on Sang to provide for future widening. Wagner requested

easements requested.

Faulkner requested a report on the increase in electrical load as
soon as possible. He noted that there is 50kw to work with and added
that service will need to be carried through the building to the new
additions.
BOBBIE JONES - PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR
Jones requested that dimensions from property line to the buildings
be noted and noted that a sufficient number of parking spaces has
been shown except that two spaces must be sized for handicapped parking
(12 X 19). She advised that parking areas and driveways must he finished
to a "durable and dustless" surface which does not include gravel.
She added that all parking spaces must be striped and wheel stops
provided.
.Tones :Inquired as to where the existing small building will be moved
to and what its use will be. Berger said he would check on it.
Jones advised that the Master Sidewalk Plan indicates sidewalks along
both Sang and Lewis and added that she felt there should definitely
be one on Sang because of the park although she thought a Bill of
Assurance may be acceptable. She noted that any Bills of Assurance
for street work must be approved by the Board of Directors. Jones
said that the r/w are sufficient and requested an "as -built" upon
completion.
Jones advised that 10 copies of revisions are needed by Aug. 5th for
presentation to the Planning Commission on Aug. 12th and added that
easements can be prepared in the Planning Office.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m.
