A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held on Thursday, August

Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES Dennis Burrack, Andy Reese, Tom McElroy and Rick
Evans
CITY REPRESENTATIVES- Don Bunn, Freeman Wood, Mickey Jackson and Elaine
Cattaneo
OTHERS PRESENT: Ery Wimberly, Barry Herzog and Roger Staub
PRELIMINARY PLAT AND LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
NORTH BTUJS MEDICAL PARK (PHASE 1) - N OF APPLEBY RD & S OF HWY 471
The first item of consideration was the preliminary plat and the large scale
development plan for the North Hills Medical Park - Phase I submitted by MED -USA
and Barry Herzog and represented by Ery Wimberly of Northwest Engineers.
Property located north of Appleby Road and south of State Highway 471 and zoned
R-0, Residential -Office.
ERV WIMBERLY - NORTHWEST ENGINEERS
Ery Wimberly of Northwest Engineers advised that this is the preliminary plat and
they still have a lot of details to work out. They wanted to go ahead and start
the process thru and find out what all requirements the City and the Utility
Companies might have. He stated that he doesn't think will have any significant
changes as far the layout but there are some details to work out. He stated that
he wanted to clarify that the number on the second page which states maximum
building area is totally irrelevant. They are looking at 150,000 square feet in
this complex. He noted that there is only one little area of this property in
the northwest corner that is in the flood plain.
DENNIS BURRACK - SWEPCO
Burrack stated that from the size of the buildings and the load they will
probably need 3-phase power. There will have to be a 3 Phase underground loop
installed. There can be a single-phase off of this 3-phase loop. They do have a
line of sufficient capacity overhead which goes across on the section line. He
stated that although this plat does not show an easement, they do have one that
goes across on the section line. Mr. Wimberly asked if it would be possible to
get that easement relocated along the right-of-way. Burrack said that could be
worked out. He stated that they will have to have access to all the
transformers and switchgear. As for easements, other than the overhead easement,
he won't require any, it would be part of a contractual agreement.

ANDY REESE - WARNER CABLE
Reese stated that they have facilities available off of Appleby Road. They will
need an easement to get into the property and they will try to work in the same
easements as everyone else. He stated that they would probably come in primarily
along the street which would give them capabilities for future use on the south
side.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
He stated that their facilities are right on the corner of Quail Creek
Subdivision so they will come straight down the boulevard. He stated that they
will probably loop in where they show the main utilities so that will need to be
an easement for them. Ery Wimberly stated that they will have an easement there
which will actually be in the parking lot. McElroy stated that they will need to
furnish a pipe under the parking lots and a 4" pipe under the boulevard.
RIC[ EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
He stated that they will have to move this main line and they will need quite a
bit of notice ahead of time. Also, they have an existing line on the north side
of Appleby Road that is not shown which will help them get into Tract 2 of this
complex He stated that they don't require conduit.
FREEMAN WOOD - INSPECTION SUPERINTENDENT
He asked what type of construction they were planning. Wimberly answered metal
studs and brick veneer and maybe wood trusses Wood asked if they plan to put in
a sprinkler system. Wimberly answered probably not, maybe in the larger
building. Wood stated that they have to be able to set a classification on this;
he asked if it was institutional or business occupancy. Mr. Herzog answered that
there would not be patients sleeping overnight; it is all outpatient facilities.
Wood stated that they would need a sprinkler system in some of the buildings,
especially building !19 with that type of construction. Wimberly advised that the
119 building would be a two-story building. Wood stated then they might not get
into that problem there. They will need one-hour protection for sure to get away
from having to have a sprinkler system.
He stated that their setbacks look o.k. except buildings 10 & 11 may be too
close. Wimberly stated that it the final, those buildings will probably be
separated a little farther. Wood noted that they should bear in mind that they
have some limitations as to how many openings there is to a raised wall where
they are so close. Wimberly noted that the doctors would like to own their
buildings and land with it with the parking and interior courtyard being common
property. The heavy lines shown are the lot lines. He asked Freeman Wood how

much land should they have with each building and would they have problems with
setbacks from the individual lot lines. Wood stated that if they do it as a P.U.
D., they should be able to do that as long as the leave setbacks for the fire
code from building to building.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF
He stated that given the size and the type of construction they are planning, it
might be worth it to check on the investment potential of sprinkling the whole
complex. The hydrant distribution shown looks good.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
He stated that their water is all coming off of Appleby Road right now, will they
e tying those two lines together. Wimberly answered, yes, will have an 8" loop
of the one that comes up through Quail Creek Subdivision and the one that is
southwest at Regency North. Bunn stated that they need to show what water flows
that the 8" will give them compared to what Mickey Jackson says they need on it.
They will need to relocate a portion of the existing sewer that goes across the
property. Will the storm drainage all be going out to the northwest. Wimberly
answered, yes, except for maybe a little bit of surface drainage to the highway.
Wimberly asked if he saw a problem with arrangement of the frontage road and the
extension of it. Bunn answered, no. He asked when they planned to do the rest
of the boulevard. Wimberly answered that they would do the rest of it either
when they do Tract 2 or Tract 3. Bunn asked if they would be proposing less than
31' for each of those. Wimberly answered, yes, they will have two 31' lanes.
Bunn stated that they will need to put a letter together asking for whatever
variances they will need to be approved by the Planning Commission here regarding
the width of the street. Bunn clarified that the loop and the frontage road
would both be 31' wide. Wimberly stated that they have that intersection lining
up with the off -ramps and they have the Highway Department's approval on that.
Bunn stated that John Merrell wasn't able to attend but he may have some comments
on this. He stated as far as off-site improvements, they will be required to do
half of the street construction on Appleby Road. He will need a report on the
drainage when they get the detailed plans and specs on the utilities and streets
and drainage.
Bunn asked Wimberly if he talked with Suzanne McWethy, the City Clerk, about the
notifications required. Wimberly answered, yes, it had been clarified.
WALLY BRT - SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
He was unable to attend the meeting but he commented that the dumpster locations
shown were o.k. and they would need two 6 cubic yard containers at each location
that can be enclosed on three sides with the front left open.

PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
He was unable to attend the meeting but he commented that since they a lot of
landscaping he wanted to warn them about not putting anything higher than 30"
within 25' of the intersections. Looks like they have a lot of parking and he
likes the idea of having a lot of ways to get in and out of the complex.
ELAINE CATTANEO - PLANNING SECRETARY
She stated that this will go to the Subdivision Committee on August 17th at 10:30
a.m. and to the Planning Commission on August 22th at 5:00 p.m.
LARGE SCALE DEVELOFMENT PLAN - FAYETTEVILLE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
ROGER J. STAUB - 1540 MISSION BLVD (HWY 45)
The second item of consideration was the Large Scale Development Plan of a
proposed sanctuary for Fayetteville Christian Fellowship submitted Roger J.
Staub, Pastor. Property located at 1540 Mission (north of Mission Boulevard and
east of Old Wire Road) and zoned R-1, Low Density Residential.
DENNIS BURRACH - SWEPCO
He stated that there is an underground electric service line is shown on this
plat, but they may be building an overhead line down against the property line.
They have a pole on the north end of the building. Mr. Staub stated that the
drawing was actually old and shows an approximate location of temporary service,
not really for permanent service. Burrack stated that the distances shown exceed
the normal underground policy which is 250'. Anything past that, they would
charge for the installed cost of the cable. This would have to be under a policy
that the church would provide them with any conduit and with any pulling manholes
required. It looks like that they will need a pulling manhole where it turns
coming from Highway 45 going west and they could probably get by with one manhole
and site a transformer close to where it is showing going into the building on
the southeast corner. No easements are required, but there will be a contractual
agreement between them and the church. He asked if there would be any objection
to them using part of the dedicated sewer line easement if they wanted to come
from the north side of this property. Bunn stated that they wouldn't have any
objection to that.
ANDY REESE - WARNER CABLE
Service is available on Highway 45. Normal limitation on drop cable is about

250' so they may require a contribution from the church because of the distance.
Will do whichever the power company does; go underground or set poles.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
He asked if the dashed line shown is a future building. Mr. Staub stated that
was available building space for them without some kind of easement, since this
is in an R-1 zone. McElroy stated that they will not require an easement if they
would be wanting over 5 telephone lines, but they do need to provide a 2" pvc
pipe under that parking area that surrounds the building and under the road if
they have to cross the road. McElroy stated that they might come from the north
in the sewer line also.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
They could use the existing gas meter that is out in front of the existing house.
Mr. Staub stated that they are talking about the possibility of something else
being done with the front of this property. Therefore, it would probably be
advantageous for them to have a meter set another place. Evans stated that
wouldn't be a problem, they could set one anywhere along Highway 45.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF
He stated that there needs to be a fire hydrant within 300' of this lot. He
suggests that the water service line be 6" down there to where it crosses the
driveway and the hydrant be placed there on the southeast corner of the proposed
building.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
He advised that they are going to be 700' from Highway 45. He stated that they
could in about 700' of 6" water line and then place a fire hydrant and put a
meter at that point, then go on to the building with a meter. He asked if they
were planning to use the same water line that serves the existing house. Mr.
Staub stated that the existing house is on a well. Bunn stated that it would be
to the church's advantage to have that a public line dedicating a 15' easement
for it. The City would then maintain the line and the fire hydrant. Bunn stated
that they show a 6" sewer line, but that may not be necessary depending on how
much water they are going to use. It could be a 4" line. Bunn stated that he
them to have someone to look at the drainage on this and give him a report since
they are going to be paving a good sized area. Mr. Staub stated that they had
the drainage looked at when they were planning to do another building earlier and
there didn't seem to be any significant problems. Bunn stated that it would be a
matter between the property owners if problems development.
