PARADISE VALLEY ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
JOYCE STREET - LINDSEY, SEXTON & REYNOLDS LUMBER
The first item of consideration today was the preliminary plat of
Paradise Valley Addition located on Joyce Street west of Highway 265.
The 7.35 acre tract is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential and is
being developed by J & N Lindsey, G.A. & E.D. Sexton and J.W. Reynolds
Lumber Company. Tom Hopper of Crafton, Tull, Spann & Yoe represented.
JAMS CROWNOVER - OZARRS ELECTRIC
Crownover said underground service exists to adjacent condominiums
Hopper said he preferred service to come around the bank side of the
lots in the easements shown. Crownover said the 20' easement shown
is adequate unless other utilities need to be installed in it. He
requested conduit under street crossings.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL
McElroy advised the easements must be at least 25' wide in order to
accomodate phone service and probably gas. He requested 4" PVC from
the east line under the street. McElroy said he would like to see
the utility easements and drainage ditches separated and Crownover
added he would not like paving over his lines. Hopper said he preferred
to dedicate a wider easement than separate easements. McElroy requested
the easement be 30' with a well defined drainage ditch.
Carlisle interjected, advising of the City Board's dissatisfaction
with the number of easement vacations recently requested. She suggested
easements not be requested unless there is a specific need.
McElroy inquired as to number of units and Hopper replied that, although
single family units are being planned, the developer would like to
remain flexible in this R-2 zoned project.

KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Hopper requested Wagner proceed with plans for installing gas service
at this time. Wagner said he would agree to easements as requested
thus far and noted that the gas line must be a minimum of 10' from
the sewer line. He advised a total width of 30-35' would be adequate.
Hopper noted this situation exists only on the west end. Wagner advised
of an existing gas line on the west side that can be extended wherever
service is needed.
L. 0. FERGUSON - WARNER -AMEX CABLE
Ferguson asked if an easement exists behind the existing pad on the
east side and Hopper replied there was. Ferguson said he had no problem
with the easements and requested schedule 40 PVC conduit crossing
the street. He asked that ditches be designated "utility" instead
of "electric" as there has been a recent problem regarding this issue.
LARRY POAGE, MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Poage asked for number of existing fire hydrants and Hopper replied
one exists at the entrance to Paradise Valley Condominiums approximately
300' away. Hopper said he would plane one on each entrance to this
development. in response to Jackson's question, Hopper replied there
is an 8" water line for hydrants through the adjacent golf course
and said he will extend that line to the west end of this subdivision.
Jackson requested not less than three fire hydrants to serve this
project with one being planed approximately in the center (corner
of lot 7, west corner of lot 3 and lot 12 at the street). Hopper
asked to move one from lot 3 to Joyce Street to which Jackson did
not object.
CONNIE EDMONSTON - PARKS AND RECREATION
Edmonston advised that, aeeording to the Greenspane Ordinance, a total
of .26 acres of land or $2,205 cash based on $105 per eaeh single
family unit. She noted that Lindsey is in the process of dedicating
land for park area on Gregg Street which may be applied to this plan.
She said the Parks Board will meet May 19th at 4:00 in Room 326 to
discuss final decision on this matter.
CLAYTON POWELL - PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR
Powell inquired into the zoning, which is R-2, and the developers'
plan to build single family dwellings. Hopper said there are no covenants
at this time and reiterated the intention to build single family homes.
All utility representatives agreed this question should be settled
before lines are installed as it will affect the most involved.

Powell said Joyce is designated as an arterial with an 80' r/w which
he said is noted on this plat. After discussion with Hopper, it was
determined that this developer is dedicating 20.46'; Powell advised
that 59.54' may be required of property owners on the north side of
Joyce in order to retain a straight street as the venter line of Joyce
aligns with the quarter -quarter section line on that portion from
Highway 471 to Old Wire Road. Powell said Joyce was 4-laned with
participation of property owners from Old Missouri to 471 and it had
been the city's intent to eontinue to the east to 265 with 4 -lane.
He said it was paved to a reduced standard of 22' wide which has been
serving adequately. Powell said he felt the developer should enter
into a b/a to participate with the city at the mall of the city to
upgrade Joyce to arterial standard (31' paving back-to-back of curb)
and added that CTSSY engineered this stretch of Joyce when they improved
that from Old Wire west. He said Paradise Valley Drive should be
constructed to local current proposed City standards. He said there
is a long standing poliey that all drainage between lot lines within
a subdivision shall have improved drainage structures either concrete
lined or storm culvert (which he said he preferred as property owners
do not tend to fill them with brush and block them). Powell said
the drainage ditch on the west was a problem in that it has grown
up blocking drainage on the north side of Joyce Street. He said he
anticipates development all along Joyce and recommended the ditch
on the west side be increased to 25' for drainage improved to the
25' flood plain criteria. He said, because it is on the perimeter,
the minimum improved he would recommend is fabric lining to control
erosion and vegetation with rip -rap of limestone boulder or a concrete
lined ditch. Powell concluded that sidewalk is required along Joyne
Street and that the street bill of assurance would be for 31' of paving
back to bank of curb.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn asked about sewer and Hopper said it will be across the back
and along the north side of Paradise Lane. Bunn requested service
lines be installed to the easement edge in order to prevent disruption
in the future. He stated this is a new polio}, applied when sewer
is installed in the same easement as other utilities.
SANDRA CARLISLE - PLANNING DIRECTOR
Carlisle advised that the subdivision corners must be monumented and
lot lines staked. She requested property owners within 100' be notified
of this development either by an ad in the legal section of the newspaper
with a tear sheet presented to the Planning Office; the plat signed
by said property owners; or, certified mail, return receipts presented
in the Planning Office before the Planning Commission review. Carlisle
requested a dopy of covenants prior to the Planning Commission meeting
and 10 oopies of revisions to this plat in the offioe by May 19th
for Subdivision Committee May 22nd, Planning Commission meeting May

27th. She concluded that sidewalk is required on the south side of
Joyce Street and the north side of Paradise Valley Drive.
WALLY BRT - SANITATION DEPARTMENT
Brt was unable to attend this meeting but notified Carlisle that he
saw no problem with the development.
LAKE ADAIR FISHING POND — LSD
RANDY ADAIR — SOUTH COLLEGE NEAR BY—PASS
The second item of consideration was the large scale development plan
submitted by Randy Adair for a "pay -pond" located on South College
near 24th Street. The 2 aures are zoned C-2, Commercial.
Adair noted there is no need for gas, cable or telephone. He explained
that the new building will be of nonnrete block with bathrooms, a
fish °leaning room and a canteen for purchase of packaged chips and
drinks. Burraak of SWEPCO advised service is already in plane and
City Engineer, Bunn said he saw no problems.
LARRY POAGE, MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Poage and Jackson determined that fire hydrants were adequately located
to serve this project and Adair added that he keeps a pump at the
pond. Poage requested fire extinguishers installed.

SANDRA CARLISLE - PLANNING DIRECTOR
Carlisle advised that adjoining property owners must be notified of
this development. She requested two sets of "as -built" plans upon
completion. She inquired into the existing landscaping and advised
that view -obscuring fencing is required between oommereially zoned
property and any residential property. Carlisle said the driveway
must be either chip and seal asphalt or concrete and must be striped
with wheel stops provided to contain vehicles within the parking area.
She asked that the handicapped parking spaces be marked and noted
that 39 spaces are required based on 1/1000 square feet of recreational
site area. Carlisle requested 10 copies of the revised plat by Monday
May 19th for Subdivision review on May 22nd at 4:00 P.M.

YORKTOWN SQUARE ADDITION — PRELIMINARY
WADE BISHOP — STUBBLEFIELD ROAD
Today's third item of consideration was the preliminary plat of Yorktown
Square Addition located on the north side of Stubblefield Road and
submitted by Wade Bishop. Property consists of 26 acres and is zoned
R-1, Low Density Residential. Mel Milholland of Milholland Engineering
presented a revised copy of the preliminary plat which shows one lot
added to Block 1 on the south side.
CONNIE EDMONSTON - PARRS AND RECREATION
Edmonston advised that the Greenspaee 0rdinance requires 1.0375 acres
of land or $8,715 cash in lieu of land based on $105 per single family
dwelling unit. She said this addition will be discussed at the Park's
Board meeting of May 19th.
LARRY POAGE, MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Poage asked about water lines and Milholland described an 8" line
looping though the addition and connecting to a 6" line in Stubblefield.
Poage said four hydrants are proposed and requested an additional
one placed around lot 10 along Castlewood Lane. Milholland agreed
to place hydrants a minimum of 500' as per Fire Code.
Jackson said he has expressed a desire for a City Ordinance which
would require at least a 6" line for residential subdivisions and
if the line is extendable, the minimum would be 8". He said Yorktown
Square points out the need for this noting that 1000 gpm are available
at the corner of Masonic and Summerhill at 40 psi which is adequate
supply for these residential subdivisions. Jaekson noted that the
6" lines are stubbed off for the next addition to tie into and when
this is perpetuated, it becomes a borderline situation as to protection.
He said the line in this addition is looped with no intention of making
it deadend but added that the line on Stubblefield which the internal
lines connect to, is just a 6" pipe in the ground without a feed.
Jackson said there is a 6" line south of this location at Loxley and
Harold. He suggested future development in this area be examined
in regards to connecting adequate water lines noting that the 6" line
in Stubblefield should be connected to the one in Harold before any
further development. Don Bunn, City Engineer, said there are no definite
plans immediately but agreed it was a logical plan.
JAMES CROWNOVER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Crownover said the easements look adequate except for Block 3 which
has no access. He requested an easement between lots 22 and 23 of
Block 1 to align with the back sides of Block 3. He also requested
an easement between lots 4 & 5 of Block 2. Crownover asked that the

developer alear up any potential controversy regarding adjoining property
owners as it appears some of this development has been used for some
time. Bishop assured Crownover that there is a signed document whieh
denies claim to any of this project. Crownover said the line along
the east side will remain overhead but the developer aould have an
underground secondary from that line. He said he may need an additional
easement between lot 1 & 2 Block 4 so that Bloak 5 is not on a radial
by itself. He noted that additional easements requested may be 15-16'
wide if eleatrie service is the only utility to use them. Crownover
requested 3" PVC conduit under all four street crossings.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL
McElroy asked for an additional easement between lots 4 & 5 Bloak
2 whish he noted should be widened to 20' and requested a 16' easement
between lots 21 & 22 Block 1 to aeeess Block 3. He said all other
easements are fine and requested 4" PVC under street crossings
KENNETH WAGNER - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Wagner said the easements between lots 21 & 22 and that between 22
& 23 will be adequate and that his preference would be 22/23. He
said there is an existing 2" gas line on the west side of this property
up to the 25' easement on the north side of Masonic Drive. He said
there is also an existing 3" high pressure line on the north side
of Stubblefield and he requested the developer CALL BEFORE DIGGING.
Wagner noted that buildings must be set back a minimum 25' from high
pressure lines. He advised there is a street Balled Edgewood Drive
whieh may eonfliat with the developer's ehoime of Wedgewood in this
addition. He requested all easements be cleared and to grade and
added he could serve Phase I from the west line with no problem.
He requested the easements as described by the other utilities. Wagner
said AWG will install pipe under the street when notified.
All utility representatives agreed to reduce the easement along the
west side of this development to 10'.
L. 0. FBRGUSON - WARNER -AMEX CABLE
Ferguson asked that ditches be designated as utility rather than elestrie.
He requested 2" PVC eonduit under the street arossing on Notingham
between lots 4/5 to lot 13, between 22/23 on Stratford and between
lots 10/11 on Castlewood to lots 4/5 and between lots 1/2 on Winfield.
Ferguson said he will serve overhead on the east side and dip underground
into the addition.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn requested serviae lines from the sewer to the edge of the easement
where utilities are installed with sewer (as per a new policy). He

said he would like to see the sewer line in the street. Bunn said
he thought the 6" water line in Stubblefield should be tied into the
one at Loxley and Harold. He asked for as much notice as possible
for sewer tap as a tight schedule is anticipated. He requested the
4" service shown on the north border of Block 4 be privately maintained
as the City does not maintain those less lines less than 6".
CLAYTON POWELL - PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS
Powell noted a critical access problem for lots 26 & 27 Block 1 because
in terms of driveway safety zone. Powell advised any agreement modifying
setbacks on these lots be noted in the covenants and added that no
waiver of the safety zone is recommended. He nontinued, noting that
50' of r/w is required on Stubblefield to the west line of lot 2 Block
2 where there is a jog reducing the r/w to 45'. He said there is
a high pressure gas line at this location. He recommended this developer
bring Stubblefield up to current residential standards including storm
drainage. Powell inquired into the name of both the entrance boulevard
and the first east/west street. Bishop suggested the entrance be
a continuation of Loxley. Powell said there has been a policy for
boulevard type entrances to be a total of 70' in order to provide
for sidewalk, curbs and street signs. He recommended the drainage
provision between lots 1 & 2 Block 2 be backed up to the subdivision
entranee and that additional storm drainage be provided in Phase I
beginning at Manchester Drive towards the south. He expressed concern
regarding the density and aeeess of the area to the east. Milholland
explained that area will be an el -shaped subdivision with acoess to
Stubblefield and Manchester. He said the storm drainage on Manehester
will travel eastward and be parried out to Stubblefield. Powell mentioned
that, at one time, there was a thought expressed by the Planning Commission
and/or the Board of Directors about the possibility of Masonic extending
eastward and Ellenberg extending south to within the vicinity of this
addition. He said he has no further recommendations on this matter.
Powell said the natural ravine at the end of the drainage ditch at
lot 30 Block 1 should not be filled with rubbish or debris and recommended
the auls-de-sac be permanently constructed at both Notingham Platte
and Manchester. Milholland said he would like to install concrete
tire stops in place of a barrier at the west end of Wedgewood to which
Powell agreed. Powell suggested extending the line of Phase I to
the north side of Lot 7 Bloek 2, adding another lot in that Phase.
Milholland and Powell discussed internal drainage and Powell recommended
boxes at the corners of Lots 10 and 13 (along Notingham) and at lot
19 on the north side of Manchester where there is the possibility
of installing a concrete swale. He suggested culverts on both south
corners of lot 12 Block 1 (along Notingham).
Milholland asked if the entry way could be widened only to the east
creating a slight jog for Loxley. Carlisle said there was no problem.

WALLY BBT - SANITATION DEPARTMENT
Brt was unable to attend this meeting but notified Carlisle that he
saw no problems and that all radii are sufficient.
SANDRA CARLISLE - PLANNING DIRECTOR
Carlisle requested sidewalks be shown on the revised plat. She advised
that only the Board of Directors may waive the sidewalk requirement
and questioned whether or not the entry way needs a name. She requested
adjoining property owners be notified before Subdivision review either
by certified mail, return receipts received in the Planning Office
or an ad in the legal section of the newspaper with a tear sheet provided
as proof. Carlisle noted that subdivision corners must be monumented
and all lots must be staked. She advised that waivers, as requested
on this plat, must be presented in writing to the Planning Commission.
She reiterated the need for a change in name for Wedgewood. Carlisle
said 10 copies of the revisions of this plat are required to be in
the Planning Office by May 19th for Subdivision review on May 22nd
and Planning Commission presentation May 27th. She also noted that
if covenants are written, they must be presented before the Planning
Commission meets. She requested two sets of as-builts on completion
and noted a resolution should be reached regarding the Greenspace
requirement before Subdivision Planning Commission review.
Milholland requested permission to show the easement on the north
side of Block 3 and that on the north side of lot 20 as part of Phase
I on the plat as future lots instead of as a separate description.
Carlisle agreed.
There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 11:30
