on Double Springs Road for the back lots.
ELAINE CATTANEO - CITY PLANNING SECRETARY
Cattaneo advised that they will need to submit their proof of
notification of the adjoining property owners to the staff by the
Subdivision Committee meeting date. She noted that the Planning
Commission meeting has been rescheduled for November 13th since
November 12th is a holiday. Twelve revised copies of the plat will
need to be submitted to the Planning Office by Monday, October
22nd.
PERRY FRANKLIN - PUBLIC WORKS
Franklin stated that they aren't sure the parks fees(greenspace
requirement) apply to property outside the city limits. If so, the
land dedication would be .05 acres and the money in lieu would be
$420. The next Parks Board meeting is Monday, October 22nd at
5:15 in Room 326. Franklin added that street lighting can't be
imposed by the City outside the city limits.
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LEVERETT TERRACE - A TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT
BOB WHITFIELD - E OF LEVERETT, N OF POPLAR, & W OF CHESTNUT
The second item was a preliminary plat of Leverett Terrace - A
townhouse development submitted by Bob Whitfield and represented by
Dave Jorgensen of Jorgensen & Associates for property located east
of Leverett, north of Poplar, and west of Chestnut. The property
is zoned R-2 and contains 5.29 acres with 32 proposed lots.
• BOB WHITFIELD - OWNER/DEVELOPER
•
Whitfield stated that they are proposing 54 units on 5.29 acres
which would be about 10 units per acre. This is almost identical
to the Garland Terraces development on the corner of Garland and
Sycamore. He noted that he submitted a concept plat earlier that
went to the Plat Review. Since that time, it has been revised
and is being brought back as a preliminary plat. It is an owner -
occupied townhouse development. He added that on the lots which
show A & B, there will be two townhouses developed joining each
other back-to-back. On lots 1, 6, 29, 30, 31, & 32, the
townhouses will be attached side-by-side. They have individually
numbered lots 21 through 28 and 2 through 4,because they propose to
build individual free-standing units with fire walls that are not
joined. But, it is his understanding that they would have the
option to join them if they decide to before the development is
complete. Lots 7 through 18 are front -to -back configurations.
He noted that they propose to put in the covenants a blanket
easement for construction, maintenance, and repairs of utilities on
all adjoining lots. For example, 14A would have access to 13A,

14B, and 15A. The sewer is shown on the south side of Van Gogh
and the water is across the street. They may need to bring water
& sewer service from Poplar on lots 6A & B. In answer to
questions from the utility representatives, Mr. Whitfield stated
that they plan to remove some of the trees to the rear of the lot
and move the creek. There is a natural basin back there, but they
will need to do some clean up work. He stated that, after their
survey work is complete and they know how much of the trees will be
removed along the ditch, they propose to widen the utility easement
to 35' or 40'. Gas service will not be needed because this is
proposed as an all electric development.
TOM MCELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
McElroy stated that he doesn't have a problem serving the lots from
the back as long as their line isn't in the creek ditch 'along the
north side of the property. He noted that they can cross the ditch
with the line, but don't want to follow it. He will need at least
20' of easement. He asked that they call him when they start
clearing around the creek.
L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Ferguson stated that they need to make sure their line isn't in the
creek. He added that they have service all around this property.
LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Winkler stated that they could serve along the front of the lots to
stay out of the street and would only need a couple of transformers
in the front with a pedestal between every other lot. He
requested that the 25' building setback along the front of the lots
be a designated utility easement also. In answer to a question
from Winkler, Whitfield stated the additional right-of-way of
Poplar Street is shown. He stated that the 25' building setback
on the south side should also be designated a utility easement.
He advised that they will need to know up front whether the homes
will be free-standing single homes or connected, because it could
cause a problem with their points of service. When buildings are
joined, there can be separate services and separate meters but only
to one service point.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Evans had no comments.
BECKY BRYANT - ASSOCIATE PLANNER
Bryant was unable to attend the meeting. She commented that the
adjoining property owners need to be shown on the plat. The

private drive to access lot 32 needs to be 25' wide for each tandem
lot. There needs to be a note on the plat to show which lots are
proposed as single-family and which are duplex -townhouses.
Contour lines need to be darker. The owner/developer needs to
submit a written request to the Planning Commission for the side
yard waiver for a townhouse development. The staff needs to know
what the on-site parking provisions are for each lot. The proof
of notification of adjoining property owners needs to be submitted
by the Subdivision Committee meeting.
ELAINE CATTANEO - CITY PLANNING SECRETARY
Cattaneo stated that, according to the Water Meter Division, this
needs to be Van Gogh "Place" or "Court" instead of "Street". The
• Planning Commission meeting has been rescheduled for October 13th
at 5:00 p.m. instead of November 12th because of the holiday. She
noted that they need to submit their revised copies to the Planning
Office by Monday, October 22nd.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC SUPERINTENDENT
• Franklin stated that the greenspace requirement(parks fees) will be
a land dedication of .53 acres or money in lieu totaling $4,505.
He noted that this was figured on $85/unit for 53 units if they are
to be considered multi -family units and $105/unit if single-family.
He added that the City will put a standard street light on the
existing wooden poles. When they get ready for the street markers,
contact him.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
• Bunn stated that all the building setbacks that are going to also
be utility easements need to be designated that way on the plat.
He noted that they will need to make a cash payment for whatever it
will cost to bring their half of Poplar Street up to the City
Street standards. That street will be widened within the next five
years according to the Capital Improvement Plan. A bill of
assurance will not be accepted. The drainage calculations on the
creek will need to be submitted showing the current drainage and
any new drainage created by the development. If they want the
City to maintain it, it will need to be designated as a specific
drainage easement separate from the utility easement. The legend
on the plat needs to designate the sidewalks. In answer to a
question from Bunn, Whitfield stated that there will be a
pedestrian easement between lots 10 & 11 for a public sidewalk.
Bunn noted that a sidewalk needs to be shown on the east side of
Chestnut. The sidewalk needs to be shown all the way around the
• cul-de-sac to the east property line of 30B. If a lot is not sold
or a building permit is not issued on a lot within five years, the
owner of record will have to build the sidewalk. The contours

need to be darkened. The general drainage pattern needs to be
indicated. The number of proposed units needs to be on the plat.
"Water and Sewer Superintendent" on the plat needs to be changed to
"City Engineer". The staff needs a copy of the subdivision
covenants.
Bunn stated that he isn't sure
zoning. If lot 32 is considered
residences, they will need a 25'
total of 50'. He advised them to
this. Whitfield stated that they
Bunn noted, if that is the case,
