PRELIMINARY PLAT - WEDINGTON HEIGHTS ADDITION
MARK MARQUESS - E OF SALEM, N OF WEDINGTON DR.
The first item on the agenda was a request for approval of a
preliminary plat for Wedington Heights Addition, located to the
east of Salem and on the north of Wedington Drive, presented by
Harry Gray on behalf of Mark Marquess, BMD Development. The
property consists of 34 acres with 151 lots proposed. The property
is zoned R-1.5, Moderate Density.
Mr. Harry Gray, Northwest Engineers, Inc., explained the developer,
BMp Development, Inc., had applied for rezoning to R-1.5 in order
to construct affordable housing. He further explained they planned
for the north half of the property to be affordable housing and the
south half would be a typical R-1 development with moderate priced
homes. He stated the entire project was contingent upon the
rezoning.
In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Gray explained they
would definitely start Phase I first and then it would depend on
the sale of the houses. He stated Phases I and II were
approximately 50-50 in typical R-1 houses and affordable houses,
but Phase III was all affordable housing. He explained that, if
the affordable housing sold quickly out of Phase I, they probably
would construct Phase III before Phase II.
Mr. Bunn pointed out Phase II would complete the street and
waterline loop.
Mr. Gray agreed that from the cost standpoint completing Phase II
after Phase I was the most logical.
In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Gray explained there
were duplexes across from the entrance on Anne Street and they
might construct some at the entrance.
• Mr. Bunn stated the utility companies would need to know if they
were going to construct duplexes.

Mr. Gray stated the primary reason for the R-1.5 zoning was due to
the smaller lot size, allowing affordable housing, not to construct
multi -family housing.
JIM CROWNOVER - OZARK ELECTRIC
Mr. Crownover stated they would need a minimum 15 foot easement
down all back lot lines and on the side lots when they crossed the
street. He stated he would redline the plat and return it to Mr.
Gray. He pointed out the street lights might have to be moved but
he would also mark those on the plat.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans stated he had marked the plat where he would need
easements. The other utility company representatives reviewed the
plat and all representatives agreed on proposed locations of the
easements. Mr. Evans explained he would need a quad whenever there
was a crossing. He stated they had an existing 3 -inch line along
the west side of the property.
L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson stated the noted easements would be sufficient. He
pointed out they had an aerial line along the west side of the
property.
The utility representatives requested that portions of the
adjoining subdivision be shown so that they could see where the
lines were located in relation to this subdivision.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPT.
Mr. Franklin asked that Mr. Gray contact Jim Johnson, Water
Department, for street names. He also expressed concern that Anne
become a through street.
Mr. Gray expressed hope that the City of Fayetteville would assist
in the cost of making Anne a through street.
Mr. Franklin also expressed concern regarding the amount of traffic
entering on Salem Road.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPT.
Mr. Jackson stated the fire hydrant located at Anne and Street "F"
would need to be moved eastward to the phase line.

SHARON LANGLEY - PLANNING DEPT.
In response to a question from Ms. Langley, Mr. Gray verified that
the frontage of the lots on the cul-de-sacs would be at least 60
feet in width at the setback lines.
DON BUNN - ENGINEERING
Mr. Bunn agreed with the utility representatives that it would be
a good idea to show the adjacent lots on the west. He also
suggested the off-site easements be shown on the plat. Mr. Bunn
stated that, if they did anticipate constructing multi -family
housing, he would like to have the lots designated now.
Mr. Marquess explained that, if they should do any multi -family
dwellings, it would be done in Phase III. He further explained
that it was doubtful that they would construct any multi -family
housing, but if they should do so, they would contact the utility
companies.
Mr. Bunn stated the utility companies would need to know if there
were to be multi -family housing before they put the lines in.
Mr. Marquess once again stated they did
family housing at this time.
Mr. Bunn further stated he doubted the
funding of Anne Street.

City would assist in the
FINAL PLAT - DOUBLETREE ESTATES
LESLIE B. HOWELL, MT. COMFORT RD (OUTSIDE OF CITY)
The second item presented to the Plat Review Committee was the
final plat of Doubletree Estates, consisting of 22.84 acres with 10
proposed lots. The property is located outside of the City Limits
on Mt. Comfort Road. Mr. John Mahaffey is representing Leslie B.
Howell, owner of the property.
Mr. Bunn stated there would need to be a vicinity map on the plat.
In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Mahaffey explained the
county had approved the final plat subject to a 125% bond for
improvements and moving the property lines to the center of the
street. Mr. Mahaffey stated that the streets and drainage plan
were almost done. He explained that lots 8 and 9 had been changed
from the preliminary plat, because there was a low area between
lots 8 and 10. Due to drainage, Mr. Mahaffey turned lots 8 and 9
ninety degrees.

JIM CROSSOVER - OZARK ELECTRIC
Mr. Crossover stated he believed the easements were adequate. He
stated he believed that lots this size could be better served
overhead rather than underground.
Mr. Mahaffey explained the developer would be selling the lots,
allowing the owners to build their own houses.
RICK EVANS - WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans stated the easements were fine. He explained that at the
present time they did not offer service in that area.

Mr. Franklin asked if they had checked the street names with Jim
Johnson, Water Dept.

Mr. Jackson pointed out there was a new water line running down Mt.
Comfort Road. He suggested a fire hydrant at each end of

for the completion of the street and drainage plans.
