PRELIMINARY PLAT OF PARK PLACE - PHASE 8
JIM LINDSEY - S OF MISSION BLVD, W OF CROSSOVER RD
The first item was a preliminary plat of Park Place - Phase 8 submitted by Jim
Lindsey and represented by Dave Jorgensen of Jorgensen & Associates for property
located south of Mission Boulevard and west of Crossover Road and zoned R-1,
Low Density Residential.
DAVE JORGENSEN - REPRESENTATIVE
Jorgensen stated that when they were developing other stages of'Park Place -a few
years ago, one of the requirements before doing any more development was to
provide a connection to Crossover Road. He added that this plat accomplishes
that. However, the developer has made a change since this plat was made. He
is now interested in putting a cul-de-sac in Phase 5 and another cul-de-sac in
Phase 6 which would make two cul-de-sacs that back up to each other with an
emergency barricade or access there. He noted that they are aware that the
connection requirement is in the past minutes and in the contract that the
streets connect for various reasons. He added that he will submit another plat
with the changes on it that he just mentioned.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn stated that there would have to be some commitment to build a connecting
street regardless of whether the property develops as a subdivision or not.
Bunn noted that he would need a drainage easement running along the creek at the
back of lots 3 through 7 and 18 through 20 and then a separate utility easement
could be provided along one side of it.
Bunn advised that he hadn't discussed this with Becky Bryant or John Merrell,
but he expects that there will have to be a firm commitment on tying this into
the existing Park Place Subdivision whether or not the land in between is
developed. The staff would like him to make several copies of the whole
development available so that the staff and the Commission can see how it fits
together.
Bunn stated that the deadend streets would need temporary turn-arounds regardless
of what the schedule is on finishing up construction. The staff would need an

Bunn stated that he would need to look at the water and sewer plans. They need
to plan a tie onto the 12" water line that is on the east side of Crossover Road.
LARRY ' iINKLER - SWEPCO
Winkler stated that they will need to either serve lots 3 through 7 and lots 18
through 20 off the front of the lots or they will need an easement along the
drainage ditch in the back. A 20' easement on the west side of the drainage
easement would be sufficient. He added that they will need a street crossing
across Londonderry Drive between lots 7 & 18 going across the street to lots 15
& 16. Part of the drainage easement shown between lots 15 & 16 needs to be
designated as a utility easement and widened to 20'. On the west side of the
development, they will need a 20' easement or another 15' off-site on the west
side of this subdivision line. He advised that he has an overhead line at the
northwest corner that will be brought down to the southwest corner. They will
needs easements to get into the interior lots(lots 9 & 11) and a 10' easement
down the side lot lines at the street light locations (5' on each side of line).
He requested a crossing on Meandering Way and at the end of Arthor's Court and
a copy of the plat if it is changed.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that all the easements requested by SWEPCO are fine. They have
an existing 10" main line on the west side of Crossover Road about 10' behind
the road right-of-way with a 50' easement. This needs to be located. All
crossings requested are fine.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Ferguson stated that all easements are fine. He will need 4" crossings.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
McElroy stated that on the north side they will need a larger easement (a 15'
off-site easement along the entire north side of the subdivision would be
sufficient). All other easements are satisfactory. He requested a crossing
on Londonderry and Victoria if they are not cul-de-sacs.
CONNIE EDMONSTON - PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Edmonston stated that this is located in the Southeast Park District and is very
close to Root School and Gulley Park which isn't a high-priority area. For 33
single-family lots, the land dedication would be .41 acres with the money in
lieu being $3,465 ($105 x 33). This will be discussed at the April 2nd Parks
Board meeting on Monday at 5:00 p.m.

ELAINE CATTANEO - CITY PLANNING SECRETARY
Cattaneo stated that the Subdivision Committee meeting will take place on April
4th at 10:30 a.m. and the Planning Commission on April 9th at 5:00 p.m. She
reminded Mr. Jorgensen that he would need to submit proof of notification of the
adjoining property owners at the Subdivision Committee meeting.
JIM JOHNSON - WATER METER DIVISION
Johnson was not at the meeting, but he commented that, if "South" was part of
the name on "Arthor's Court", it should be omitted. Also, if "Arthor's Court"
is going to connect with another street to the north, it will need to be "Avenue"
because "Court" is a cul-de-sac. Also, he needs to know if "Meandering Way"
will be going toward the east or to the north because it will have a bearing on
how he assigns house numbers for that street.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF
Jackson was unable to attend the meeting, but he stated that he has no problems
with the plat.
HAL MORTON - SANITATION DEPARTMENT
Morton did not attend the meeting, but stated that he had no problem with the
plat.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin stated that, if they are planning to put any brick planters, fences or
anything that might interfere with the line of sight for traffic at that
intersection, the developer needs to get in touch with him to look at it. He
advised that he would like to see that road go through to Crossover Road so that
the people who live in that subdivision have an other way out of there besides
Mission.
JOHN RLDRIDGE - REPRESENTATIVE OF PARE PLACE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
Eldridge stated that they don't have any concerns as far as the plat is
concerned. They do have some concerns about the other development and the cul-
de-sac. He added that they have had conversations with Jim Lindsey which has
resulted in the changes.

Residential.
BARRY GRAY - REPRESENTATIVE
Gray stated that he does plan to verify that the existing easements he is showing
have been filed. They are shown on the City's map. Gray advised that they
are planning to request approval of a lot split on Lots 1 & 19 so that they can
begin development on them immediately. He noted that they may need a variance
on the cul-de-sac length depending on how it is measured. It is 510' from the
center of Mt. Comfort Road to the center of the cul-de-sac.
CONNIE EDMONSTON - PARKS & RECREATION DEPT
Edmonston stated that this is located in the northwest
a priority two area. The closest park it is served by
Parks Department has been looking for land in this are
would have to meet the criteria to be accepted. With
the land dedication requirement would be .24 acres with
$1,995. The Parks Board will make a recommendation on
meeting.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT

Franklin stated that, if they are planning any brick planters or landscaping at
the intersection of Mt. Comfort Road which might cause a problem with traffic
sight distance, please let him look at it. He stated that he is concerned
about the cul-de-sac because people will be parking around it which could cause
a problem with emergency vehicles getting around it. Mr. Gray stated that
there are several existing cul-de-sacs similar to this.
JIM CROWNOVER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Crownover stated that he will serve underground. He will need an easement down
the back of lots 2, 3, 17 & 18 to be able to serve lots 1 & 19 and then come
around the back. He noted that wherever they have a street light, he will need
a 15' minimum side lot easement. He will also need some kind of an easement and
a conduit to the street light in the middle of the cul-de-sac. The 15' sewer
easement might work. He added that he will send a layout of what he needs to
Mr. Gray.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that the easements Ozarks Electric requested will be sufficient,
but they need to be 20' in perimeter. He added that they have an existing line
on the south side of Mt. Comfort Road just south of the existing water line and
the 20' easement there will be fine. All the easements requested are fine.

easements requested will be fine. He asked for a crossing across Alpine Avenue.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn advised that there would be a requirement for off-site improvements on Mt.
Comfort Road. He noted that sidewalks are shown along Mt. Comfort Road.
Bunn advised everyone present that the staff is considering going to a schedule
of only two Plat Review meetings per month instead of every week. He noted that
this might create longer meetings when there are a lot of plats to review. He
advised that this new schedule had not been instigated as of yet. The consensus
of the utility representatives was that they were flexible and it wouldn't be
a problem for them.
JIM JOHNSON - WATER METER DIVISION
Johnson did not attend the meeting, but he stated that—there-Is—an—existing
subdivision by the name of Mt. Comfort Acres so this subdivision would need
another name.

Jackson was unable to attend the meeting, but he commented that he had no problem
with the plat.

Morton did not attend the meeting, but he commented that he had no problem with
