MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held at 9:00
A.M. on Thursday, December 5, 1985 in Room 111 of the City Administration
Building, 113 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT: Kenneth Wagner, Ivan Faulkner and
Connie Skinner
CITY REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT:
Clayton Powell, Don Osburn, Larry
Poage, Sandra Carlisle, Bobbie
Jones and Paula Brandeis
PRELIMINARY PLAT - F'VILLE ENERGY CENTER, INC.
FAYETTEVILLE SQUARE - MOUNTAIN STREET
Today's item of consideration was the preliminary plat of Fayetteville
Energy Center, Inc. to be located on Mountain Street and East Avenue,
immediately adjacent to "The South Side". The plans were represented
by Bob Kelly of Hailey, Powers and Froning Architects and Attorney
Jim Boyd.
PLANNING DIRECTOR - SANDRA CARLISLE
Carlisle noted that this developer is acquiring The South Side and
that all of the parking previously planned for The South Side will
be applicable to the new phase of development. She said the parking
will adequate as there will be less floor space than what was originally
anticipated by The South Side.
JIM BOYD AND BOB KELLY - REPRESENTATIVES
Kelly explained the layout of the proposed construction in relation
to the existing buildings both to the east and west. He said the
taller building will be placed back towards the alley with an open
plaza in the center section. He said the parking will be placed under
the plaza with an entrance from the alley.
CLAYTON POWELL - STREET SUPERINTENDENT
Powell advised that the streets and rights-of-way are already in existence
surrounding this development; no additional required. He said there
are curb drop inlets around the square but noted that there is a problem
with drainage on the south side municipal metered parking lot because
of drainage running out into the streets. He requested that the eave
and parking lot drainage be directed to the storm drainage system
rather than onto street surfaces. He said he would work with the
developer regarding this issue.

L. 0. FERGUSON - WARNER AMER CABLE
Ferguson was unable to attend this meeting but had advised the clerk
that service was available in the alley south of the development and
that conduit would have to be supplied to the vicinity of the meter
if underground service was desired.
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Wagner advised that a 2" gas line and a 4 -meter manifold (located
next to Davidson Shoe Store) will have to be retired along the west
side of East Avenue. He said that the gas company will not be responsible
for the subsequent street repair as this work is being done at the
developer's request.
Wagner requested the entire court yard be designated common area and
utility easement. Kelly noted that the mechanical rooms are above
the area labeled "open to basement" and he said he preferred all the
meters set at that location which Wagner was agreeable to. Wagner
advised Kelly to designate the area below the mechanical rooms as
utility easement. He asked that the meter be placed in a safe location.
Wagner also advised that, according to a new ruling, permission must
be obtained from the Public Service Commission to use a single meter.
Boyd advised that over half the space in the new facility was expected
to be rented by one large lessee, Continental Ozark and its affiliates,
and that the balance of the space will be rented individually.
CONNIE SKINNER - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Skinner advised that terminals need to be placed on each floor branching
from a riser cable from the lowest level. She said conduit will be
required for the riser and requested terminal boards. She requested
minimum 3" conduit from East Avenue to the mechanical room.
IVAN FAULKNER — SWEPCO
Faulkner noted that all of SWEPCO's facilities are presently in the
alley on the south side with major revamping being necessary. He
said he would need the City's projection as to plans for the parking
lot before any commitments for this development are made (See note
below). He said that SWEPCO will work with the developer and asked
for load information and plans as soon as possible. Faulkner said
underground service was possible and noted that it takes quite a while
to get transformers.
*NOTE: Walter Niblock, representing the Fayetteville Downtown Parking
Authority, reported later that there are no plans for the parking.

LARRY POAGE — FIRE INSPECTOR
Poage requested a copy of the plans with the buildings marked as to
number of stories. He advised that a sprinkling system is required
by ordinance. He also advised that Davidson Shoe Store needs to be
sprinkled if it is to be connected to the proposed development. Poage
suggested the developers talk to Building Inspector Wood regarding
the proposed parking deck and the elevator tower. Boyd noted that
there would be only one level of parking underneath the courtyard
plaza and a building.
Poage advised that fire extinguishers are required (one per 2500')
and suggested that they be placed in cabinets in the hallways as they
are more easily accessible. He said that if they are not placed in
the hallways, each business will require a separate extinguisher.
Poage requested the location of the fire department support connection
as well as the access panel.
DON BUNN — CITY ENGINEER
Bunn was unable to attend but had earlier commented that he saw no
problems with water or sewer.
DON OSBURN — WATER METER SUPERINTENDENT
Osburn advised that there will be a flat fee for unmetered fire protection
of $22.50/month for a 6" line or $30/month for an 8" line. He said
he would let the present address (21 W. Mountain Street) stand if
this development and "The South Side" buildings were to be tied together.
Kelly noted that this situation still needs to be determined.
BOBBIE JONES — CODES TECHNICIAN
Jones explained that certain certificates are required on the plat
and that two sets of plumbing plans are required in the inspection
department for stamping with one set being sent on to the State Board
of Health for approval. She said each page of the plans must contain
a paragraph, a stamp and a signature from an Arkansas Registered Engineer
or architect. Jones noted that the sidewalk must be kept in good
repair. She added that this development will take place on less than
one acre and does not require Planning Commission review.
• There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 10:00
