MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW MEETING
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held on Thursday, August
18, 1988 in Room 111 of the City Administration Building, 113 West Mountain
Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES- Dennis Burrack, Andy Reese, Tom McElroy and Rick
Evans
CITY REPRESENTATIVES- Don Bunn, Freeman Wood, Perry Franklin, Mickey

OTHERS PRESENT: John C. "Jack" Burckart & Ery Wimberly,
LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR "VILLAGE APARTMENTS"
BURCKART DEVELOPMENT CO - 375 E APPLEBY (S OF APPLEBY, N OF DRAKE ST)
The only item of consideration was the Large Scale Development Plan for "Village
Apartments" submitted by Burckart Development Company and represented by Ery
Wimberly of Northwest Engineers. Property located south of Appleby Road and
north of Drake Street and zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential.
ERV WIMRERiY - NORTHWEST ENGINEERS
Wimberly stated that Mr. Burckart is the owner and developer 'of .this. project. He
stated that there are some other items that need to be on the plat which will be
added such as easements. He stated that they have changed the south entry, where
it shows two coming in off of Drake, to one entry coming in off of Drake. He
stated that he would supply the utilities companies with a copy of the revised
plat with the easement locations.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin stated that he had ran this project through the ITE trip generation
program for traffic informational purposes and it shows that: a) the average
weekday - 2 way volume is 1,968, b) the average weekday a.m. peak is 160
cars/hour, c) the average weekday p.m. peak is 256 cars/hour, d) the average
Saturday 2 -way volume is 1,344, and e) the Sunday peak hour is 224 cars/hour.
He stated that he has a little concern about the people who are going to go
through to College Avenue and a lot of them will cut through the Wal-Mart parking
lot down there and use that traffic light. He advised that if there is any
plantings or landscaping they are doing at any of the exits/entrances, it needs
to be down to 30" high within 25' of the corner. Any signs within the complex
need to meet the (MUTCD) Manual Uniform Traffic Control Devices. He stated that
once Appleby Road is upgraded and the Medical Park is in there will be a lot of
added traffic through this area. He stated that he would do some research to
find out what the current traffic volume is on Appleby Road.

DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
The extension of Drake Street on over to Gregg Street is among the priority
projects but when it can be done depends a lot on the fate of the upcoming
election on the continuation of the 1 cent sales tax. He talked with Al Rukgaber
and he says they have had some problems with the water line there. It is almost
40 years old. The line size changes about the middle of this property. It would
probably be a good idea to have another tie with a line that is not directly
connected to this water line because in the event that there was a real bad break
on that line, there could be some difficulties in repairing it. He advised that
they talk with Al Rukgaber about the problems they have had there. There will be
at least 15' dedication required for the easement. On the east side they need an
easement large enough to handle the addition of a water line if need be in that
area. If it were to be replaced, it wouldn't be replaced in the same location.
They need to take this to the south to the sewer line on Drake Street.
Need to show contours and proposed drainage on the plat. Also, they need to
include a legal description and a block showing the owners. This will go to
Subdivision Committee on September the 7th and to the Planning Commission on
September the 12th. Wimberly asked when they need to get their revisions back
in. Bunn stated at least by the 5th of September.
Bunn stated that as far as off-site improvements are concerned, Gregg Street is
improved and Appleby Road. A Bill of Assurance would be sufficient in this case.
With the volume of traffic that is going to be generated and the changing
attitudes on off-site improvements, there may be other off-site improvements that
would be asked for in this development. You should meet with John Merrell and
discuss those kinds of things with him. - -
Bunn asked what they were planning to name this complex and advised them that
they should name the drive. Mr. Burckart answered that they were naming it the
"Village Apartments" and maybe name the drive "Village Drive".
DENNIS BURRACK - SWEPCO
He stated that they will probably be serving this off of Appleby and would go
underground and around the perimeter somewhere. What he would like would be an
easement coming off of Appleby against the east side of the drive and turn and go
around the perimeter and on the west side go between the drive and the building.
Wimberly asked if he would consider going up the middle under the volley ball
court. Burrack stated that if there was enough room in the sewer easements for
them there, he wouldn't have any objections as long as they have access to be
able to get in there later on. Burrack asked if they would have fire walls or
partitions in the buildings that would change them from a single structure to two
structures under the code. Mr. Burckhart stated that their buildings are all
small enough in total square footage that there shouldn't be that problem.

ANDY REESE - WARNER CABLE
He stated that currently they have service north of Appleby Road so they would
have to come south into this development. He stated that they will follow the
power company and use the same trenches. They will pre -wire the individual
buildings for the number of outlets they want in each apartment with control from
outside. The location of the easements is not important to him, whatever is
satisfactory to the power company.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL
He stated that they will probably serve this project off of Appleby Road although
they could come in off of Drake. An east easement adjacent to this would be
fine. Center easement wouldn't be a problem as long as there are 2" sleeves
under the pavement. He would like to see the entrance on both ends as a cross -
easements adjacent to the right-of-way for future use. Need to make sure
easement in the middle is wide enough for all utilities.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
He stated that the only thing he is concerned about is the cutting of the ground
because they have existing gas lines through there. Give them a call so they can
come out and uncover their line and see how deep they" are.. 'They will run
services all the way to the buildings if they want gas to them. He stated that
they wouldn't need easements for service lines.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF
He stated that he would recommend 4 hydrants on a 6" loop tied on at both ends.
They would rather have them on the corners except when there is a building
configuration like this and then they try to get them between the buildings.
They need to be out close to the street and where there is not a parking space
that blocks the access to them. They require that each apartment has to be a one
hour compartment and then the attics have to be divided above each unit from the
ceiling to the deck.
WALLY BRT - SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
Wally Brt was unable to attend but he commented that everything looks o.k. The
container pads need to be 15' x 12'. They can be enclosed on three sides, but be
sure and leave front open.

CONNIE EDMONDSTON - PARKS DEPARTMENT
She was unable to attend, but she commented that this is in the NW Parks
District. With 160 multi -family units the greenspace ordinance states that the
land required is 1.6 acres with the money in lieu of the land being $13,600. The
Parks Board will meet on August 29 at 5:00 to make their recommendation.
