Engineers and Mrs. Floyd Harris
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF MOUNT COMFORT AIR PARK
FLOYD HARRIS - SE CORNER OF MT COMFORT RD & RUPPLE RD
The first item was a preliminary plat of Mount Comfort Air Park submitted by
Floyd Harris and represented by James Vizzier for property
located at the southeast corner of Mount Comfort Road and Rupple Road and zoned
R-1, Low Density Residential.
JAMES VIZZIER - REPRESENTATIVE
Vizzier stated that Dr. Harris decided to subdivide this into an air park.
Therefore, they have set this plan up so that they have..easements.that.are common
property, in effect private streets. That would mean that the south lots will
have access to the street and the north lots would have access to the air strip.
Each of the lots will probably have an individual hangar. Dr. Harris is wanting
to sell these lots to people with private aircraft and let them park on their
property. There would be common property with covenants covering the common
property and every lot owner would have a piece of the airstrip.
Mr. Vizzier stated that they are talking about doing this development in phases.
Mrs. Harris stated that their intentions at this time, if it is agreeable with
the City, to pave only part way back on the private streets unless the owners
that buy those lots want to pay the expense of going all the way with them.
Mr. Vizzier stated that he would like to advise everyone that the creek as shown
on the plat is in the wrong location. It has been relocated so that the section
of right-of-way is actually to the south of the creek.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn advised that Salem Road has been designated as a "collector" by the Board
of Directors on to the south through this property. Mr. Vizzier noted that it
wasn't designated on the Master Street Plan and there wasn't a location
established. Mr. Bunn noted that they can go ahead and discuss it as it is laid
out, but the extension of Salem Road is something that will need to be resolved
between the developers and the staff before it goes to the Planning Commission.
He noted that whether or not the streets are paved will be determined by how the
streets are designated. Private drives need to be required to be paved to the

same standards as public streets. If they are just tandem lots with driveways,
then they wouldn't be private streets.
Bunn noted that the west end of this is outside the City limits so they will need
to petition for an annexation of that property. The approval on this will be
conditioned on the annexation being approved. If this is phased, the annexation
will need to be done before they get to those phases and before those lots can
be served by sewer. He advised that it doesn't make a difference as far as off-
site improvements because they can require the same thing outside the City as
inside. The main thing is providing the sewer service for that part of the
project. As far as off-site improvements on Mt. Comfort Road, they will need
to construct half of that road to City standards for the entire length of the
subdivision or offering a Bill of Assurance to do that at the call of the City.
The Planning Commission will need to consider whether or not off-site
improvements will be required on Rupple Road. The three lots on the southwest
corner would seem to warrant upgrading of Rupple Road.
Bunn stated that sewer service looks alright and they would like to have it
encased under the airstrip. He noted that he would like to see the water line
moved up to Mt. Comfort Road with all the meters placed there so there wouldn't
be any trouble having access for reading the meters and maintenance later on.
He noted that fire hydrants can't be allowed off of the existing 4" water line.
They could center a water line through there for fire,,protection and then come
off the 4" line for services.
Bunn advised that these are in effect tandem lots. He noted that the staff
had talked about whether an air park would require a rezoning or conditional use
and he isn't sure whether John Merrell is going to make a decision on this or
let the Planning Commission decide. The airstrip is a nonconforming use now and
expansion of it would be the question.
Bunn noted that they are required to notify the adjoining property owners with
this preliminary plat.
KEN RAIDER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Raider stated that they will need a 25' easement down the eastern side of the
project and then back through the project along the back side of all the lots.
He stated that they will plan to put it underground.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that the easements requested by Ozarks Electric will be fine. They
will also need 20' to 25' easement along the south side of Mt. Comfort. He noted
that they have an existing line with a 50' easement that goes down Rupple Road
on the east side on a private right-of-way. He stated that if they take the
30' building setback along Rupple Road and make it a utility easement also, then
it would cover everything in there. Also, there are three lots on the south
side so they will need a 20' easement down the south side of that drive into the
property to serve those lots also.

L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
The easements as requested are fine. However, he would like to request a
Schedule 40 PVC under the taxiways so that they could get under those.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
McElroy stated that the easements as requested are acceptable, but he would also
have a 2" conduit under the paved portion of those drives if they are paved.
He can serve the three lots on the southwest corner by the easement along the
front that was asked for.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin stated that the City of Springdale, City of Fayetteville staff,
Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning and Statewide Planning have for a year and
one half been working on a functional class road system between Springdale and
Fayetteville to come up with principal roads for the 2010 Plan. He added that
it hasn't been adopted by anyone and is in various stages of planning. The
Highway Department has it currently supposedly doing a..traffic volume projection
using some software program He advised that it has been established by all
the staff working on it in this area and agreed upon to be taken before all the
Boards. They have defined cross-sections of certain designated streets so that
the same one in Springdale ten years from now will be the same on in
Fayetteville. On that plan just west of the Bypass, there is a designated
"principal arterial" starting from Highway 62 and going all the way to Springdale
which goes right up through this property. He reiterated that it has not been
approved by anyone as of yet and whether it will remain classified as a
"principal arterial" since the Board of Directors has designated it as a
"collector" remains to be seen. This is just an effort by everyone to come
up with something. There are no considerations as of yet as to how it would
physically be done. Mr. Vizzier stated that under the Planning Legislature,
to really restrict development, there has to be a establish a location.
Franklin noted that they need to be careful about causing any traffic sight
distance problems with plantings and such at the intersections to Mt. Comfort
Road.
BECKY BRYANT - ASSOCIATE PLANNER
Bryant stated that Jim Johnson of the Water Meter Division stated that the
existing residence at 2150 Rupple Road will need an address change if this goes
through and the cul-de-sac street needs to have a name on the plat. She noted
that the Master Sidewalk Plan shows a sidewalk up to some point on Mt. Comfort
Road so there will need to be clarification as to whether a sidewalk is required
in this project. Then if the property next to Rupple Road is annexed there will
have be a sidewalk along that street.

Road so there will need to be clarification as to whether a sidewalk is required
in this project. Then if the property next to Rupple Road is annexed there will
have be a sidewalk along that street.
Revisions need to be shown on the plat and will need to be submitted by March
5th for the Subdivision Committee meeting.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF
Jackson stated that there would need to be fire hydrants to serve lots 1, 2 &
3 that meets the spacing requirements for all three lots. He advised that the
ordinance they have setting the spacing requirement is less restrictive to
residential developments than other. However, on an airport, it might be
different. He stated that he will need to review that ordinance.
CONNIE EDMONSTON - PARKS DEPARTMENT
Edmonston stated that the greenspace requirement with 27 lots would be a land
dedication requirement of .34 acres (27 x .0125) with the money in lieu being
$2,835. The Parks Board will be meeting on March -5th and will make a
recommendation on this. There is a park area in the Walnut Grove Addition
located in this parks district so it isn't a high priority area.
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF STONEBRIDGE SUBDIVISION
LARRY ROBBINS - W OF STONE BRIDGE RD, N OF HUNfSVILLE RD
The second item for review was a preliminary plat of Stonebridge Subdivision
submitted by Larry Robbins and represented by Dave Jorgensen of Jorgensen &
Associates. The property is located on the west side of Stone Bridge Road and
north of Huntsville Road and zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. There are 11
proposed lots on 4.7 acres more or less.
DAVE JORGENSEN - REPRESENTATIVE
Jorgensen noted that there were two lots sold off here by metes and bounds. Don
Bunn advised that two lot splits were done by Forrest Drake earlier with the
intention of the rest being subdivided later on.
He noted that the easement across the north lot between this subdivision and
Stone Bridge Road has been filed by a separate document, but he isn't sure the
one on the south lot has been.
KEN RAIDER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Raider stated that they have an existing line along the east side of Stone Bridge
Road and the easements shown along the north and south sides of the subdivision

will suffice. Need to know if they want this underground.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that the easements shown are fine and they have an existing line
on the east side of Stone Bridge Road
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Ferguson stated that they have an existing line on the east side of Stone Bridge
Road and the easements are fine as shown. He noted that they would like to know
if this is going to be overhead or underground.
DALE CHEATHAM - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Cheatham stated that easements as shown are o.k. They have facilities buried
on the east side of Stone Bridge Road. He noted that they do have one problem
that the lot on the southeast corner of the property has a fence across the
easement.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn stated that the easements along the north side,.of..the north lot next to
Stone Bridge Road and the south side of the south lot next to the road should
have been filed on separate documents at the time the property was split.
He noted that he isn't sure what was determined as far as off-site improvements
when the lot splits were done here, he will research it. The sidewalk needs
to be shown on the plat. The street light spacing seems a little awkward here.
They may need a waiver from the maximum distance between street lights or put
another one in. He commented that they need to make sure that the fire hydrants
are within 500' of all lots. He will look at the drainage. He noted that they
have a new requirement that will be enforced soon which is that the minimum size
sewer requirement is being changed from 6" to 8".
BECKY BRYANT - ASSOCIATE PLANNER
Bryant stated that they need to show the sidewalk on the plat and there doesn't
seem to be a scale shown on the plat.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin stated that they are putting any kind of plantings, signs or anything
at the entrance, they need to be careful that there is a sight distance problem
for traffic pulling in and out of the entrance.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF
Jackson asked that they move the fire hydrant two lot lines west to put it in
the middle of the subdivision, maybe between lots 9 & 10.

make a recommendation on it.
