188 proposed units.

acres and a total of
Edmonston advised the proposed development was in the Northwest
Park District. The acreage requirement would be 1.88 acres or
cash in lieu of land would be $15,980. She advised the Parks and
Recreational Advisory Board would meet August 17, 1987 at 5:00
p.m.
LARRY POAGE - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Poage said there was an 8" water line off Mt. Comfort and 12" off
Garland. Bunn said it would not take much to tie in the 12" line
on Garland to lewis's 24" line. Poage advised if the proposed
units were going to be 3 -stories the Fire Department would prefer
it to be looped. Wimberly advised the developer had proposed to
loop around all the buildings, but were only proposing 1 feed off
the Mt. Comfort line. Poage requested another hydrant at the Mt.
Comfort entrance (unit B-1). Poage suggested a better radius for
turns on the driveways because the Fire Chief had just ordered a
new 85' truck. Poage said wherever the truck had to turn a
corner they would need a larger radius. Wimberly noted most of
the islands within the parking areas were 10' in radius and added

there were 24' driving widths between parking lanes. Wimberly
said the radius at Mt. Comfort and James Street could be
increased, but they may loose a few parking places. Poage said
the internal drive with cars parked there would hamper fire
fighting. Poage said there would be no access to the interior of
the buildings and suggested some type of base be added to the
yard or designate a strip for heavy equipment to cross without
sinking. Poage asked what type of fire walls were planned and
Wimberly replied the fire walls were all one-hour construction.
or type 6. Poage felt there may be some 4 -hour requirements in
this complex and felt Freeman Wood should review the plans.
Poage asked if the complex was going to be sprinkled and Mr.
Richard Rhea (Developer) advised there would not be a sprinkling
system. Mr. Rhea advised his architect would be in touch with
whoever was in charge of the construction details.
Poage stated he still had concern for access to the buildings and
asked to see some type of remedy on the revised plats. He said
he could see a real problem with building 7 because there would
be no way to fight a fire unless there were some provisions for
access. Wimberly stated he and the developer would meet with
Mickey Jackson on Thursday August 20, 1987 before the Subdivision
Committee meeting with a solution to the access. problem. Poage
said there was a possibility of requiring some fire zone signs on
James Street to discourage parking on the street. Wimberly felt
there was adequate parking within the facility and felt there
would not be parking on James Street. Poage also requested fire
extinguishers recessed in cabinets every 100'.
TOM MCILROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL
Mcllroy advised he would service from James Street and would like
to stay on the outside perimeter to serve all the buildings on
the parking side. Mcllroy requested all the space between the
parking and building be designated a utility easement. He
requested a 4" crossing pvc on James Street into the complex.
McIlroy advised all the services would be brought to the
buildings, but inside wiring would be up to the developer. Mr.
Rhea requested the flexibility of the two bedroom units to have a
private line in each bedroom. McIlroy said that would be fine,
but the developer would have to provide those lines to the
junction boxes.
DENNIS BURRACK - SWEPCO
Burrack advised there was an overhead line on the west side of
the property. He said they would go underneath the parking lot
on the west side in 4 different places. He said if SWEPCO was
not there and the developer wished to start he would request a 2"

sch 40 street crossing be made at the north end, south end and
two at the middle so they could go around to get into the
easements that Southwestern Bell had requested. He noted if the
developer put the crossings in SWEPCO would need to inspect them
before they were covered up. He said the easements that the
Phone company asked for were approximately 15' and added there
were a few places that it may get tight. He said building 5 on
the southeast corner was very tight and requested at least a 15'
designated easement. Mr. Rhea said they had not determined how
to heat the buildings and asked Burrack how the arrangement would
change if they decided to go with gas. Burrack said basically
the arrangement would have to be very much the same. He said a
heat pump and air conditioner would draw the same. Burrack
requested at the locations for lighting he would need a piece of
conduit underneath and asked the lighting be installed when the
development was near completion. Burrack asked what type of
service would the community building require. Mr. Rhea advised
there would be a management office, student service area with a
copy machine and typewriters, a vending area with 7 or 8 machines
then an activity area with lighting and a fire place. Burrack
said he may add an extra pedestal with a secondary run to the
community building. Mr. Rhea advised there would be a hot tub,
and two pools, a lap pool and another pool..-,- Burrack requested
the fire rated walls to be addressed by the City and Carlisle
advised Freeman Wood would review the plans from the architect.
Wimberly advised that building 4, 5 and 6 may be done at a later
date, but utilities would need to be provided.
RUSSELL ANDERSON - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Anderson said it looked as though the perimeter was where
everyone was interested in being and the gas company would follow
the requested easement. He proposed to service off Mt. Comfort
Road and James Street with a loop and a two way feed on the whole
project. He said that would allow for damage to a line due to a
shrub or whatever. He said all of the gas companies equipment
would be at ground level. Mr. Rhea felt a schematic of the wall
space would be beneficial rather than leave it to the
installation people in the field. Mr. Rhea said he would prefer
all the metering in one location. Anderson said if the developer
decided to heat with gas they would come in and do everything at
no charge.
DONN BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn advised the contour on the
to 1400. Wimberly advised
should be 1300. Bunn requested
areas with the water line. Mr
southeast corner suddenly jumped
he would correct the error and it

upped and Bunn said if the water line had to be under the parking
area he would require class 51 delco and if outside he would
allow the C900 plastic 200 pound pressure. Wimberly suggested to
run the water line down the middle of the parking area and Bunn
felt that would be better than under the parking. Bunn asked if
each building would be meter or would every apartment be
individually metered. Wimberly said each building would be
metered and possible pick up two buildings on one meter. Bunn
advised the developer to speak with the meter foreman as to the
metering system. Wimberly asked if there would be a separate
rate for a yard line. Bunn said a separate meter could be set
for the yard line and not charge for sewer purposes. Bunn
requested the internal sewer be privately maintained by the
property owners for the reason of access. Bunn asked if all the
drainage would run above ground. Wimberly said they would
discharge all the drainage into the storm drainage system on Mt.
Comfort. Wimberly added he had advised the developer to go ahead
and plan on widening Mt. Comfort. He also added there would be
some internal storm drainage on site. Bunn felt there would be
off-site improvements to James Street. He asked how far was the
project from James Street. Wimberly said from the actual end of
the asphalt that existed was approximately 150'. Bunn said the
project to the south was required to improve: the full length of
James Street (half). Carlisle said she would recommend the
improvements be taken from where the asphalt starts and improve
without sidewalk, curb and gutter. Mr. Rhea asked if the
improvement would be re -paving James Street. Carlisle replied
"yes" base and asphalt. Wimberly felt it would not be necessary
to tear up what was there and add new base. He said they could
use the existing base then over -lay asphalt.
WALLY BRT - SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
Brt was unable to attend this meeting, but forwarded these
comments: Brt requested 2 additional 6 yard dumpsters at the
northeast and southeast corner of the volleyball parking area
which would eliminate two of the parking spaces.
DONNIE OSBORNE - METER FOREMAN
Osborne was unable to attend this meeting, but forwarded these
comments: Osborne said he would number each building and each
apartment would have a number.
SANDRA CARLISLE - PLANNING DIRECTOR
Carlisle requested proof of notification of the adjoining
property owners by certified mail, return receipt requested,
signatures on the plat or an ad in the legal section of the local

newspaper. She requested after completion of the project two
sets of As-Builts. She advised a 5' sidewalk would be required
on the south side of Mt. Comfort. Wimberly said they would ask
for a Bill of Assurance on the sidewalk. She requested 10
revised plats no later than August 17, 1987 and the Subdivision
Committee would meet on August 20, 1987 at 3:30 p.m. She said if
the developer was going to ask for a Bill of Assurance for the
sidewalk on Mt. Comfort then they would have to attend the
Planning Commission meeting on August 24, 1987 at 5:00 p.m.
