MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW MEETING
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held Thursday,
October 10, 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, Dennis Burrack,
Ivan Faulkner and Connie Skinner
CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT:
Dennis Ledbetter, Wally Brt, Don
Osburn, Freeman Wood, Bobbie Jones
and Paula Brandeis
BARGO ENGINEERING - 1755 ARMSTRONG RD.: EXPANSION OF LSD
The only item of consideration today was the proposed expansion of
the Large Scale Development for Bargo Engineering, Inc. located at
1755 Armstrong Rd. in the Industrial Park, zoned I-2 and represented
by Charlie and Bill Goforth, owners and David Jorgensen, engineer.
SWEPCO - DENNIS BURRACK & IVAN FAUI.KNER: Burrack said SWEPCO has
no objection to vacating the existing 20' easement along the south
side with the exception of 130' (more or less) beginning at the east
property line and extending into the property. Faulkner advised that
SWEPCO will abandon the west easement with the provision that the
easement along the north side be extended to the west boundary line
of Bargo's newly purchased parcel (immediately adjacent on the west
border) and continuing down the west side of the property as it now
exists. Jorgensen said he would provide a metes and bounds description
of that portion of south side easement that SWEPCO wishes to retain
and also a description of the 20' easements along the north and west
boundaries if necessary. Faulkner requested total load information.
Burrack noted that there appears to be a discrepancy between the calls
in this legal description and that of the original final plat for
Industrial Park. Jones advised that the original final plat had been
presented to the Planning Commission for approval under "other business"
without having been placed on the agenda and then taken the following
evening to the City Board, again without being on the agenda. She
said the plat had never been checked in the Planning Office before
it was filed.
WARNER AMEX CABLE - L. 0. FERGUSON: Jorgensen advised that he was
in possession of a letter from the cable company stating that there
is no objection to abandoning the easements in question. The clerk
noted that Ferguson had advised her that there is currently no cable
service in the area of Industrial Park.

ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS - KENNETH WAGNER: Jorgensen read a letter received
from Wagner stating that there is no objection to reducing the width
of the easement in question. Wagner advised that there was also no
problem with abandoning a gas easement that runs through the center
of the property. He noted that the gas line ends at the northeast
corner of subject property. Charlie Goforth advised that the proposed
building will house some light assembly and will require a separate
gas meter. Wagner said the easements as stated along the south and
west borders are acceptable.
SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE - CONNIE SKINNER: Skinner verified that
Bell has no objection to vacating the existing 20' utility easement
along the south side as requested by Bargo. Skinner advised that
if computer service or anything other than straight line was desired,
Bargo will need to provide entry into the building to place a terminal.
She added that cable will require six weeks notice.
WATER & SEWER - SID NORBASH: Jorgensen read Norbash's letter stating
that the proposed building will not interfere with any water and sewer
line or any future plans. Jones requested that Jorgensen have Norbash
clarify which easement this applies to.
DENNIS LEDBETTER - FIRE DEPARTMENT: Ledbetter advised that if the
building is to be sprinkled, the Building Inspector will need to be
consulted. He said that one fire extinguisher per 2,500 sq.ft. is
required for this building and added that the fire hydrant is in close
proximity. He advised the developer that sufficient exits are required.
FREEMAN WOOD — BUILDING INSPECTOR
Wood confirmed that the building will need to be sprinkled and advised
that a door is acceptable in a fire wall if it is 3 -hour fire rated
door with an automatic drop. He said 15,000 sq.ft. are allowed before
a fire wall becomes necessary.
Goforth inquired about flood plain requirements and Wood replied that
the proposed building must be 2' above flood plain elevation because
it is in the flood plain. Goforth noted that fill has been added
to bring the site 2' above flood plain and Wood requested certification
of this by an engineer. Wood advised that there must be 60' between
the two buildings or the existing building will need to be sprinkled.
Wood requested at least one restroom be provided with handicap facilities.
He suggested that Bargo begin with two facilities for the handicap
and add more as needed. In answer to Goforth's question, Wood replied
that concrete block walls in the restroom pose no problem.

DON OSBORN - WATER METER SUPERINTENDENT
Osburn advised that there is a flat monthly charge for unmetered fire
protection and that domestic and fire water will be kept separate.
He noted that the owner will be responsible for maintaining the 8"
fire line from the tap on the main into the building. He advised
that the meter will be set just south of the driveway and that the
house number will be 1771 S. Armstrong Road. Osburn explained that
the house number should be displayed during construction if water
is needed and that a permanent number, visible from the street, is
required either on the building or on the sign upon completion. He
advised that sewer is available, although the exact location is unknown
at this time.
WALLY BRT - SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
Brt said there is no problem with using one dumpster for the two buildings
and asked to have said dumpster set for convenient pick-up and that
a concrete pad be placed under the dumpster.
BOBBIE JONES - CODES TECHNICIAN
Jones noted that the developers will request a variance in the south
side setback from the Board of Adjustment on October 21st, explaining
that the Board addresses hardships peculiar to an individual site.
Jones noted that only one free-standing sign is allowed per property
and advised checking with the sign inspector before ordering any signs.
She also advised that the property adjacent on the south is in the
flood plain and added that this developer has previously tried to
purchase 25' of it from the City and were denied. She noted that
more than the required parking spaces have been shown and added that
a total of 95 spaces will be needed if another 38,000 sq.ft. building
is built on this property, as contemplated. 2O% of those spaces may
be striped for compact cars if they are marked as such. She said
that one space in 25 must be designated for handicapped (and indicated
on the plat) and that all parking spaces must be paved with a minimum
of double chip and oil, striped, and wheel stops provided. Jorgensen
said he intends to reduce the number of parking spaces shown as there
is an excess. Jones requested the number of spaces and type of surface
of the existing parking to be shown on the plat.
•
Jones explained minimum building setbacks and noted that there is
no maximum buildable area requirement in I-2 zoning district. Jones
requested the developer to check with the Fire Inspector for specifics
on the space required between buildings. She requested that Jorgensen
add the distance between the building and the west property line to
the plat. Jones advised adding the proposed "future" building at this

time so that the LSD process will not need to be repeated. She requested
an "as -built" site plan upon completion, showing all improvements
including the location of utility entries to the building and be signed
and dated. Jones said that splitting of this property in the future
must be handled through the Planning Office and that the setbacks
for each building, on each parcel, as well as parking, will be examined
at that time.
Jones noted that there were no comments from Street Superintendent,
Clayton Powell, and added that sidewalk is not required. She requested
that 10 copies of this plat with revisions be in the Planning Office
by Tuesday morning, October 22nd for presentation to the Planning
Commission on October 28th. She asked that the legal description
be added to the plat and said she thought the City could work out
the discrepancies in the legal as the parcel was purchased from the
City originally.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:20 a.m.
