REVISED FINAL PLAT OF GADDY ACRES SUBDIVISION
BOB GADDY - S OF MISSION BLVD, E OF WHIPPOORWILL LANE
The first item was a revised final plat of Gaddy Acres Subdivision
submitted by Bob Gaddy and represented by Doug Hemingway of
Professional Surveyors for property located on the south side of
Mission Boulevard and east of Whippoorwill Lane. The property is
zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, containing 40.32 acres with 21
proposed lots.
DOUG HEMINGWAY - REPRESENTATIVE FOR OWNER/DEVELOPER
Hemingway stated that they are changing some of the lots around and
changing the access.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE COMPANY
Ferguson stated that he has no problem with the easements as they
are shown. He asked that he be contacted as soon as they start
constructing the first house.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE

needs to be notified also when construction starts.

DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn asked if there is any water and sewer in yet. Mr. Hemingway
answered, no. Bunn noted that there will be a contract needed for
those improvements which will place a lien on certain lots to equal
the value of those improvements. He added that, when it came in
before, the staff required the street to be improved. Since then,
they are having second thoughts about whether it should be required
right now. The status of that street needs to be re-evaluated.
He noted that there will be the same number of lots. One
requirement by the Planning Commission was for a barrier to be put
up. In answer to a question from Don Bunn, Mr. Hemingway stated
that he would talk to Mr. Lindsey about that to find out when the
barrier will be put up. Bunn advised that, by the time a house is
built out there, that barrier ought to be put up. It was the
intent of the Planning Commission not to have that as a through
street. In answer to a question from Mr. Hemingway, Bunn stated
that sewer and water easements as shown would be sufficient, but it
needs to be easy for them to read the meters.
BECKY BRYANT - ASSOCIATE PLANNER
Bryant asked for clarification on the accesses. Mr. Hemingway
advised that there will be no streets. There are private drives,
but none of them will be city streets. He added that, because
there is so much frontage all the way around on the sides, they are
trying to make the lots along the existing frontage. They would
make tandem whatever the Planning Commission would allow and have
access easements of 50' for common drives for two lots. He added
that lot 12 is tandem. Mr. Hemingway explained how each lot would
be accessed. Bryant stated that they will need to submit a copy
of the covenants. Also, a fire hydrant will need to be installed
within 500' of the lots. She added that the improvements of one-
half of Starr Drive needs to be worked out. The execution of a
developer's contract needs to be done. The sidewalks will need to
be designated on the plat.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin stated that they need to be careful about sight distance
problems on the driveways. All plantings, etc., within 25' from
the intersections can't be higher than 30". If there is a problem
with that, someone needs to contact him.

PRELIMINARY PLAT OF OAK HILL SUBDIVISION
GEORGE FAUCETTE - S OF SYCAMORE, E OF GREGG AVE
The second item was a preliminary plat of Oak Hill Subdivision
submitted by George Faucette and represented by Harry Gray of
Northwest Engineers for property located on the south side of
Sycamore Street, east of Gregg Avenue. The property is zoned R-1,
Low Density Residential, containing 7.96 acres with 24 proposed
lots.
HARRY GRAY - REPRESENTATIVE FOR OWNER/DEVELOPER
Gray stated that they are planning a single-family development.
He added that this is a part of the old Evans Farm plat and there
is a 20' alley across the middle of this property between lots 7 &
8 and lots 17 & 18. They plan to vacate that alley as a part of
the replat of the property. In answer to a question from Perry
Franklin (Traffic Superintendent), Mr. Gray stated that they don't
see a need for a connection into Spruce Street from this platted
alley. The terrain would make it difficult. Gray stated that
he shows a 20' perimeter easement on the southwest corner of the
property. He asked if there would be any objection to dividing
the 20' easement on the lot line between lots 14 & 15 and then
going back out between lots 12'& 13 or lots 11 & 12.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn advised that there would need to be a waiver requested from
the Planning Commission on the length of the cul-de-sac. The only
other issue that needs to be resolved is whether they want to
require a dedication of street easement which he will refer to John
Merrell, Planning Management Director, and the Planning Commission.
He added that this is a basically a replatting of a very old
subdivision.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Ferguson stated that they have no problem with the easements.
They have an aerial service on the west side of the property. He
requested that all of the easements be cleared and brought to
grade. Please notify him when they start construction.
LARRY WINKLER
Winkler stated that, if they go underground, they can build it on
the outside perimeter, taking out a lot of trees. He added that
splitting the 20' easement between lots 14 & 15 and going out
between lots 12 & 13 would be fine. The portion of the cul-de-sac
on the west side of the street needs to be designated as a utility
easement and building setback. He requested that the easements be

cleared.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
McElroy stated that the easements are satisfactory with the
easement in between lots 14 & 15 and between lots 12 & 13. If the
lots are redesigned, he asked for a revised plat before they start
construction.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that the easements are satisfactory. They can serve
from the back side with no problems. Send him a copy of the
updated plat.
BECKY BRYANT - ASSOCIATE PLANNER
Bryant advised that, according to Jim Johnson from the Water Meter
Division, this street can not be named "Oak Hill" because there are
too many existing streets with "Oak" in the name. She asked that
proof of notification of the adjoining property owners be submitted
by the Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised plats need to
• be submitted by Monday, August 27th. The greenspace dedication is
.3 acres or money in lieu of $2,520. She noted that it is her
opinion that Spruce Street should be connected up to Oak Hill Place
because of the length of the cul-de-sac and the opportunity to
divert some of the traffic down to Gregg Avenue, since Sycamore is
operating at its design capacity. Bryant asked if there is any
development to the east of this property. Mr. Gray stated that
there are three or four existing houses on the east side of this
property.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin stated that, as soon as they get ready for the street
markers and stop signs, please contact him.
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF EDGE HILL SUBDIVISION
MARK FOSTER - S OF RAVENSWOOD LN, W OF COUNTRY CLUB DR
The third item was a preliminary plat of Edge Hill Subdivision
submitted by Dave Jorgensen of Jorgensen & Associates on behalf of
Mark Foster & Buddy Peoples for property located south of
Ravenswood Lane and west of Country Club Drive and zoned R-1, Low
Density Residential. The property contains 15.31 acres with 26
proposed lots.

Jorgensen advised that this is west of Skyline Estates on Country

Club Mountain. He added that this will tie into existing 27th
Court on the north end and extend westerly then turn into what is
now called "Club Oak Drive". Bryant stated that Jim Johnson of the
Water Meter Division has stated that this is a private drive and
not a city street. Jorgensen stated that he is maintaining that it
is a city street simply because it has been platted on the previous
plat. They would be bringing in a private drive on "West 28th
Court" with a tandem lot situation leading back to lots 25 & 26.
They are requesting a 27' back to back street because they are
tying into a 27' street.
LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Winkler stated that there needs to be clear markings on where the
road will be. He noted that he has an existing line along Country
Club Drive overhead and along 27th Court and could come from those
and make a loop. On the southeast corner, this property goes
right up to the private drive so they have access. However, in
front of Joe Fred Starr's house, if the street(Ravenswood) is
extended, they will need some easement shown off-site from this
going north to Ravenswood and then east to Country Club Drive.
Jorgensen stated that they could give a 15' easement all they way
with the access being between lots 151 & 152 of Country Club
Estates to the northeast corner of lot 1 of this subdivision.
Winkler requested that the easements be cleared, and they need to
coordinate street crossings between lots 13 & 14 and lots 4 & 5.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Ferguson stated that they need a street crossing between lots 8 &
9, lots 10 & 11, lots 13 & 14 and between lots 4 & 5 to the
easement on the north side of lot 20. He asked for a revised plat
and notification, when they are sure they are going to start
construction.
BECKY BRYANT - ASSOCIATE PLANNER
Bryant advised that the Water Meter Division has stated that both
of the streets will need to be renamed. "Court" and "Drive" are
o.k. She noted that the names of the adjacent property owners
needs to always be shown on preliminary plats. The greenspace
requirement is .33 acres and the money in lieu is $2,730. Also,
the Fire Chief wants the fire hydrant moved to a location one block
south.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
McElroy requested that the 25' building setback from the private
drive on the north side of lot 20 be designated a utility easement.

All the other easements as discussed will be satisfactory. He
advised that he will need street crossings between lots 4 & 5 and
lots 20 & 21.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin requested that they notify him, when they are ready for
the street signs.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Bunn advised that there needs to be a legend on the plat. He
stated that they need to show the street easement of "Edge Hill
Drive" going to the north and how it will connect into the existing
street. Also, he is concerned about whether or not they should
be closing that street easement between lots 20 & 21 and lots 25 &
26. He would prefer that they consider a street right-of-way
through there with a temporary cul-de-sac and a connection for
future extention of the street on to the west.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that the easements as requested will be fine. He
asked for a copy of the plat once it has been revised.

Jorgensen of Jorgensen & Associates on behalf of

Commercial, containing 33 acres more or less with
DAVE JORGENSEN - REPRESENTATIVE OF OWNER/DEVELOPER
Jorgensen stated that the developers are planning to sell the lots
contingent on approval of the preliminary plat. He noted that he
advised them that nothing could be developed here until the plat
has gone through the final process.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Ferguson stated that they don't have any service available to this
property, but it is close coming from the west on highway 112. If
they were asked to serve this property, it would be on a cost-
sharing basis.

TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
McElroy stated that all the easements shown are fine. He requested
an easement on the west edge of the 50' access shown for the lot on
the west side, which has the existing house on it.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans stated that the easements shown are fine. The gas meter sits
on Highway 112, so they have a private line back to their building.
Therefore, they will have to look into how to move it out of the
other lots.
JIM CROWNOVER - OZARKS ELECTRIC
Crownover stated that they have power to the existing buildings.
The easements look fine, but he isn't sure what arrangements will
be made on adjusting their existing lines to those easements. He
advised that it is hard to build or install power lines on an
access type easement such as the 25' utility and access easement on
the south side. If it has to be an access easement, they will
need 20' additional easement north of the 25' shown.
BECKY BRYANT - ASSOCIATE PLANNER
Bryant advised that the street needs to be named. It would be
either a "Court" or a "Place". We need lot numbers and the
proposed use of the land, if known, on the plat. The names of the
adjacent property owners need to be shown on the plat. The
greenspace requirement is .09 acres with the money in lieu being
$735. A copy of the covenants need to be submitted and proof of
notification needs to be submitted by the Subdivision Committee
meeting.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
Franklin stated that the length of the cul-de-sac far exceeds the
requirement. Jorgensen noted that they would be requesting a
waiver on the length of the cul-de-sac.
REPLAT OF FINAL PLAT OF PARK PLACE ADDITION - PHASE IV
JIM LINDSEY - OFF CAMBRIDGE, S OF MISSION BLVD
The fifth item was a replat of the final plat of Park Place - Phase
IV submitted by Dave Jorgensen of Jorgensen & Associates on behalf
of Jim Lindsey for property located off of Cambridge, south of
Mission Boulevard. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density
Residential, containing 8.51 acres with 18 proposed lots.

Jorgensen stated that the developer's reason for doing the final

Franklin stated that any plantings or signs need to be 30" or less
within 25' of the intersection so as not to cause a visual
obstruction for vehicles going in and out of the parking lot.
