Lindsey for Hyland Park, Inc. and represented by Tom Hopper of Crafton, Tull &
Associates for property located south of Hyland Park - Phase 3 between Phases
5 (on the West) and Phase 4 ( on the East) with 22.98 acres and 19 proposed lots.
Property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential.
Tom Hopper - Representative
He noted that Rock Cliff Road is proposed to come through and tie into this
phase. Instead of cul-de-sacing lots, they have gone with four big lots. All
the sewers are in and they just have to connect the streets and the water lines.
He added that they have all the utility layouts that the utility companies that
given to them in previous years and conduit will be installed to match those
utility layouts.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
McElroy noted that on this plat the street name is "Rockcliff Road" but on the
earlier plat it is "Rock Cliff Road". Mr. Hopper stated that he will check into
it and get it right on the revised plat. McElroy stated that the easements are
fine.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that the easements are fine as shown.

L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Ferguson asked about the cross street that was designated as "Rushing". Mr.
Hopper stated that there won't be a cross street in this phase; the lots will
be coming all the way up to the street with the lots lines conforming to the old
street lines. Ferguson stated that they have a line that goes through there and
they won't have any problem with the easements.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF
Jackson stated that hydrant spacing requirement has changed since the original
subdivision was developed and now there is a maximum spacing of 800' between
hydrants with one within 400' of each lot. No other comments.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
Franklin had no comments other than the discrepancy in the street name between
this plat and the earlier one.
• DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
•
Bunn stated that he had talked with John Merrell and since this has four tandem
lots and has changed quite a bit since the preliminary came through, the staff
would like this plat to be a "preliminary" instead of a " final". He stated that
it will depend on how long these private drives are but they might need to put
a fire hydrant on the private drive in order to meet the 400' minimum
requirement. Mr. Hopper stated that they will be placing a hydrant right where
the lots connect. Bunn stated that location should work. He noted that they
need a vicinity map on this plat to show how this ties in with the rest of Hyland
Park. The contours, wooded areas and any houses that are close to this phase
need to be shown on the plat. Bunn advised that John Merrell had made a comment
about the tandem lots, but he isn't objecting to them. This will go to the
Subdivision Committee meeting on Wednesday, June 21 at 1:30 in Room 111 and the
Planning Commission date is Monday, June 26 at 5:00 p.m. and the 13 revised
plats need to be into the office by 3:00 on Monday.
JIM CROWNOVER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Crownover stated that he is going to need an additional easement to get to the
four tandem lots. Mr. Hopper stated that the street right-of-way is 50' wide
so they could use part of it. Crownover stated that they could not use anything
that is dedicated as street or access right-of-way and utility. They have to
separate entities, but they could narrow the 50' right-of-way and give a separate
15' utility easement. The easement will have to touch all the lots to give them
access to all the lots.

Edmonston wasn't able to attend the meeting, but she coniented that this was in
the Southeast Parks District and with nineteen single-family lots the land
dedication for greenspace would be .23 acres with the money in lieu of land set

property that is located on the north and south sides of Joyce Street between
Old Missouri Road and Front Street containing 107.29 acres with 12 proposed lots
and zoned R-0, R-2 and C-2.
TOM HOPPER - REPRESENTATIVE
Hopper stated that Unit 2 is everything that is shown except for the portion that
is shown to be "reserved for future development". There was a question that came
up as far as access off of Joyce Street to the North and they aren't ready to
determine exactly where that would be so that portion was left out of the plat.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
McElroy stated that there are quite a few easements that are not shown on this
plat. There is an existing line on Lots 5 & 6. Mr. Hopper stated that they will
have a separate easement dedication plat for Lot 5 that will cover all the
easements in that apartment complex and when Lot 4 is sold and developed there
may be something but right now they don't anticipate any additional easements.
McElroy stated that there is an existing 25' easement across the front of Lot
4 and Lot 16 that was dedicated with the development of Lot 5. Also, Ozarks
Electric has a north/south easement across Lot 6 and an easement was asked for
on the north side of Sain on Lot 11 over to Lot 9 to be able to access Lot 9.
McElroy advised that with all the other lots, they will be able to access off
the easements that are shown.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that the easements the Telephone Company has asked for are the ones
they were going to recommend.

L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Ferguson stated that he doesn't have any problem with the plat as shown.
PERRY FRANK•LIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
No comments.
JIM CROWNOVER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Crownover stated that they do have an easement across Lot 6 but he doesn't know
exactly where it is located but they would be willing to move it adjacent to the
property line if they give them a 30' easement.
LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Winkler stated that they don't need any additional easements other than what
has already been asked for. He advised that the SWEPCO/Ozarks territorial line
runs north/south through the property starting at the northwest corner and
running along that line with SWEPCO on the west side and Ozarks on the east.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn stated that they are considering a road between Joyce and Zion but they
haven't fully investigated all the properties to know what is available. Mr.
Hopper asked if they are interested in extending Stearns and making that tie and
not bring it down to Joyce. Bunn answered that they are considering extending
Stearns to tie in but also bring it to Joyce.
LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HILL MOTOR COMPANY
JERRY SWEETSER, INC. - 2795 N MCCONNELL AVENUE
The third item was the large scale development plan for Hill Motor Company

RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
No problems.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Have nothing in that area.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF
No comments.
JIM CROWNOVER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Crownover stated that there is a 15' easement along the south side of this
property and along the east side of this property to the power pole and they
would not object to that being dedicated as a utility easement if other utilities
wanted in there. There is already a 3 phase feeder lineburied there so other
utilities might want an additional easement if they want in there.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin stated that if they plan any landscaping planned at the driveway, it
needs to be 30" tall or less.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn stated that they will be required to put in storm drainage and improve half
of the street connecting to what Southwestern Bell Company has done near here
to the north right-of-way line of Drake Street. He advised that the Planning
Commission may have some other thoughts on this. If additional development took
place up here, more improvements to the road might be required.
Rukgaber asked if Mr. Hill could do a phase type construction on that. Bunn
answered that if it is going to be a parking lot, it needs to be a one time deal.
Whatever he plans to use as a parking area has to be paved. Although, he could
create more green area and less parking lot if he wants to.
Bunn noted that approval of this large scale development doesn't necessarily
approve the location of the sign. That will have to be approved separately.
Bunn advised the ordinance called for the parking lot to be "durable and dust -
free" surface which is interpreted to be at least a double chip & seal.

Bunn asked Jim Crownover if he was agreeable to having his easement designated
as a general utility easement. Mr. Crownover answered, yes, but it is only 15'
wide.
Bunn suggested that they make the north/south building setback a general utility
easement.
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF FIESTA PARK
BNP DEVELOPMENT, INC - S OF APPLEBY, N OF DRAKE
The fourth item was a preliminary plat of Fiesta Park_Addition submitted by John
Burckhart for BMP Development, Inc. and represented by Harry Gray of Northwest
Engineers for property located south of Appleby and north of Drake
Street and zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential. Property contains 20.62 acres
and there are 120 single-family lots proposed to be developed as a H.U.D. project
with smaller affordable homes.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL
McElroy asked if the building setback along the property line would be also a
utility easement. Mr. Gray stated that they could designate it as a utility
easement too. McElroy stated that to be able to put their service in the rear
of the lots, they will be need a 25' e/w easement centered on those lot lines
in the two areas in the center of this subdivision. That would be a 12.5'
easement on the rear of each lot. That easement will need to extend across
(east/west) the streets so there will need to be crossings and into the rear
easements that are running north/south.
McElroy stated that if they want service in the rear on Lots 92 through 95, they
will need an easement across Lots 92, 93, 94 running along lot 95 or it could
go across the front of these lots. There needs to be a 20' easement across the
back of Lots 97 & 98
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that he didn't know if they would be able to build anything on Lots
89, 67 & 68 because of the existing gas easement. He noted that the easements
that Southwestern Bell requested will be fine with them.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE CO
Ferguson stated that they could serve this with the easements that have been
requested by the Southwestern Bell Telephone.

PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
Franklin stated that they would need to get in touch with Jim Johnson with the
Water Meter Division to help them name these streets. He would be able to tell
you if you are duplicating existing street names. Franklin stated that if they
plan to put any plantings or signs on corners, they need to be 30" high or less
within 25' of the corner.
LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Winkler stated that the easements that Southwestern Bell asked for would be
sufficient. To reiterate they will need a perimeter easement around the
subdivision so they can serve the lots from the rear with easements down the
centers of the rear lot lines on the center lots. Street light easements (10')
will need to be worked out on the lots where they will have the lights.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn stated that he had discussed this with John Merrell", City .Planning Director,
and they have decided to delay sending this to the Planning Commission for one
two-week period so that they will have more time to review it. Mr. Gray stated
that there is a question in his mind as to whether it should be processed as a
P.U.D. If it can't be processed as a P.U.D., who has the authority to grant
the variances on the lot width minimum, lot area minimum, etc. Bunn suggested
that they set up an appointment with Mr. Merrell and discuss this with him in
a week or so after he has had time to study it.
Bunn stated that there will be some drainage problems associated with the area
but they can deal with that.
CONNIE EDMONSTON - PARKS DEPARTMENT
Edmonston was unable to attend the meeting, but she commented that this project
is in the Northwest Parks District and with 120 single-family lots the land
dedication for the greenspace requirement would be 1.5 acres with the money in
lieu being $12,600. She noted that this is in a Priority One area so there is
a potential for land dedication. The Parks Board will make a recmmendation at
their June 19th meeting in Room 326 at 5:00 p.m.
