MINUTES OF A PLAT REVIEW MEETING
A meeting of the Fayetteville Plat Review Committee was held on
Thursday, April 18, 1991 in Room 111 of the City Administration
Building, 113 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES: Rick Evans, Larry Winkler, L. O.
Ferguson, and Tom McElroy
CITY REPRESENTATIVES: Don Bunn, Mickey Jackson, Perry
Franklin, and Sharon Langley
PRELIMINARY PLAT - BUTTERFIELD PARK
HARRY GRAY FOR BMP DEVELOPMENT - N OF ERROL, E OF OLD MISSOURI RD.
The first item on the agenda was a preliminary plat for Butterfield
Park, located north of Errol and east of Old Missouri Road,
presented by Harry Gray, representing BMP Development. The
property consists of 17.13 acres with 84 lots proposed. The
proposed zoning for this property is R-1.5, Moderate Density
Residential.
Mr. Harry Gray explained to the Committee they had applied for R-
1.5 rezoning with a Bill of Assurance that it would only be
developed as single family. He stated this would be an affordable
housing project, with lot size being 60 feet by 100 feet. Mr. Gray
stated the property would probably be developed in two phases. He
explained it was possible they would have an 8 inch water line
through phase 1 and then loop onto it with a 6 inch for phase 2.
Mr. Gray stated he was planning to use a lift station for sewage.
He explained there was an existing 10 inch sewer west of Old
Missouri Road but it would require a 25 foot cut through rock;
therefore, it appeared a lift station would be more feasible. He
further explained there would be additional study on the sewer.
LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Mr. Winkler stated the easements shown were acceptable. He
explained they would need a signed lot easement if the project was
developed in two phases. He pointed out on the plat the easement
would come between lots 5 and 6 and go over between lots 16 and 17.
Mr. Gray pointed out there would be 8 foot building setbacks which
would leave room for a 15 foot easement.
Mr. Winkler stated 15 feet would be adequate for the electricity as
long as there were not a lot more utility companies using the same
easement. He stated the overhead line on Errol would need to be
extended to where the phases join and then go underground at that
point. Mr. Winkler stated he would need the same easements on
Phase II.

L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson stated the easements were adequate for his service.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans suggested making the 20 foot easement on the north end of
the development a 25 foot easement.
Mr. Gray explained he would like to leave it at 20 feet if possible
because it would squeeze the lots.
Mr. Evans stated he could work around it. He further stated the
only other easement he would need was adjacent to Old Missouri
Road, between lots 1 and 4.
Mr. Ferguson stated Warner Cable would also use the easement.
Mr. Bunn pointed out with a ten foot separation of the sewer and
the gas there would not be a great deal of room.
Mr. Gray stated if they had to have a 25 foot easement, they could
probably handle it. He stated there would definitely be some rock
on the northeast end of the project.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Mr. Jackson stated there were no problems with the plat.
PERRY FRANKLIN - STREET DIVISION
Mr. Franklin suggested Mr. Gray contact his department when he was
ready for street names and addresses. Mr. Franklin determined that
access to Stubblefield from the development would occur during
Phase II.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Mr. Bunn pointed out the water line easement would have to be
located in the field. He stated he had viewed the property with
John Merrell, Director of Planning, and Becky Bryant, Associate
Planner. They had discussed tying the cul-de-sacs together, making
a loop. Mr. Bunn stated they had also discussed an easement for a
street going north from the development. He suggested Mr. Gray
discuss these items with Ms. Bryant.

MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Mr. Jackson asked the construction type. Mr. Fugitt explained it
was Type 4. Mr. Jackson stated because, this was to be a fully

Ms. Langley read comments from Becky Bryant as follows: indicate
location and name of Park View Street on the plat, remove check
list from plat, add notes on plat regarding zoning and parking
calculations, indication of all building setbacks (rear setback
must be 25 feet from the overhang), suggested additional
landscaping in the parking area in order to improve the aesthetics
and cut down on the heat, glare and air conditioning costs. Ms.

assist in landscaping planning. She informed Mr. Fugitt of the
future meeting dates when this item would be considered.

etc. at the entrances and exits could not be higher than 30 inches.

Mr. Franklin also suggested Mr. Fugitt contact Cheryl Wright of
Solid Waste regarding location of dumpster.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Mr. Bunn explained the water line would need to be extended. It
was determined that the additional fire hydrant would be located so
that it would be a public fire hydrant. Mr. Bunn further stated,
for drainage purposes, there would need to be a well defined ditch
at the back of the property away from the utilities. He explained
that, since most of the property would be paved, they would need to
look at the drainage closely, making sure it did not cause off-site
problems.
