PRELIMINARY PLAT - TIMBER CREST SUBDIVISION
MEL MILHOLLAND - HIGHWAY 45 EAST
The only item on the agenda was a preliminary plat for Timber Crest
Subdivision for property owned by Mike Pennington, represented by
Mel Milholland, located on Highway 45 East. The property contains
27.52 acres with 58 proposed lots. The property is zoned R-1, Low
Density Residential.
JIM BEAVERS - CITY ENGINEERING
Mr. Beavers asked if there was a drainage problem for this area.
Mr. Milholland stated there was and he pointed out an area on the
plat where the project would be filled. He also pointed out the
direction the water would flow. He explained he would be filling
lot 23 to assist in the runoff. He pointed out locations of the
pick-up boxes which would take the runoff into the natural drainage
system.
L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson requested that the front setback on lots 1 through 5,
Block 1, also be shown as a utility easement. He asked about
having the pedestals on the front of the lots. He explained those
lots were along the creek and the back of the lots appeared to go
down to the edge of the creek.
Mr. Milholland stated that the lots would be at least 20 feet from
the creek.
Mr. Ferguson requested a four -inch p.v.c. at the entrance of the
subdivision, between lots 2 and 3 crossing to the easement between
lot 1 and 22. He further requested that the 15 foot utility
easement around the front be enlarged to 25 feet. He expressed
concern over lots 1 through 5, block 1, because he feared they were
low enough that should it flood, the pedestals and cable would be
washed out.

It was agreed that all of the utility companies would need a 25
foot easement between lots 2 and 3, block 1.
JIM CROWNOVER - OZARK ELECTRIC
Mr. Crownover stated he would need another quad crossing between
lots 20 and 21 over to 11 and 12. He asked if the 55 -foot easement
on the west property line was a transmission line easement for
SWEPCO.
Mr. Milholland stated there was overhead power lines in that
location.
Mr. Crownover stated they would need some kind of authorization
from SWEPCO for the other utilities. He also questioned the offset
of the 10 foot easements for street lights in Block 2. He
explained they needed to be opposite of each other, not offset. He
stated he would notify Mr. Milholland after doing a transformer
layout to see where the lights should be.
Mr. Crownover also agreed with Mr. Ferguson that he wanted to be
sure they would not run into problems on the lots adjoining the
creek.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
Mr. Franklin asked if lots 1 and 36 were to be accessed from
Highway 45 or Monterey Drive.
Mr. Milholland stated there will be a divider with a 15 or 20
open space between the lots. He explained that a car would be
to turn to come from the subdivision, and turn around to go
into the subdivision, without getting out onto Highway 45.

RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS COMPANY
Mr. Evans stated he would need conduit the same places the other
utilities had requested and that he would need 4 -inch conduit. He
also requested that they be allowed to use part of the 55 -foot
utility easement on the west property line.
TOM MC ELROY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mr. McElroy explained he would need conduit across the entrance at
lot 2 and also across Monterey Drive between lots 1 and 22.
Mr. Milholland stated there would be three quads: one at the
entrance, one at line 22, and one at the north end.
Mr. McElroy asked if on lots 1, 35 and 36 they wanted the utilities
on Highway 45 instead of the inside.
Mr. Milholland stated he did.
Mr. McElroy also expressed concern with lots 1 through 6 because of
their proximity to the creek. He explained they had problems with
cable washing out.
