LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Mr. Winkler stated he did not believe they had any existing
facilities behind this area but did have aerial on Porter Road. He
stated he would need an easement up Houston Street off of Porter.
He stated the perimeter easements were adequate except he was
concerned about the drainage ditch and the easement coming
together. He explained that, if the drainage ditch was just a
gentle swale and not likely to wash out, it would be acceptable.
He further explained that, should the swale wash out, the cable
would be exposed causing safety problems. He suggested separating
the two.
In response to a question from Don Bunn regarding taking the
drainage down to the street, Mr. Harris explained there was a box
culvert that the swale would feed into.
There was discussion of moving the easement by all of the utility
companies, making it on the inside rather than the outside, and
moving the channel over 10 feet.
Mr. Winkler stated he also would need a two-inch casing under
Houston Street. He further stated the street lighting at the cul-
de-sac was find but the street light at the intersection of Houston
Court and Houston Street did not have an easement. He explained on
the of the setback lines needed to include a 10 -foot easement.
Mr. Winkler further explained that, should all of the buildings be
connected together, it could cause problems. He stated they would
need to take a close look at the fire code.
L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson requested 4" scheduled PVC 40 under any concrete they
might pour.
DAVID TUCKER - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mr. Tucker explained he would have to have an individual service
line to each residence and they could not go through a fire wall.
He also agreed that he would like to have the channel moved over 10
feet allowing the utility easement on the building side. He stated
their facilities were also on Porter Road so they would need to
come down Houston Street on the west side.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
• Mr. Perry stated he doubted Jim Johnson with the 911 system would
allow both streets to be called Houston.

Ms. Paul stated Mr. Johnson had contacted her. She explained that
the name of the subdivision and one street could have the name
"Houston" but the other street name could not use "Houston". She
further explained that "Court" should be "Place".
Mr. Perry further stated he would like to see two more streetlights
- one midway and one at the intersection of Houston and Porter.
In response to a question from Mr. Perry, Mr. Harris stated the
parking for the subdivision would be off-street parking. There was
also discussion of trash pick-up.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Mr. Bunn stated the water and sewer appeared adequate but he was
concerned about the drainage. He explained there should be some
provision in the covenants prohibiting the residents from building
fences across the drainage easement. He stated there needed to be
another 20 -foot drainage easement along Houston Court. He further
stated there should be a note on the plat with the number of
proposed units. He stated the ordinance also called for a
preliminary excavation plan which would need to be reviewed by his
staff. He suggested the developer also show the parking when
presenting the plat at the Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Bunn further stated there would be three utilities - water,
telephone and cable - using the easement on Houston Street. He
questioned if the easement was large enough.
Mr. Tucker stated that, if SWEPCO went aerial, there would be
enough room.
Mr. Bunn stated that a separate easement would be needed if SWEPCO
had to go underground. He further stated that, should there be
adjacent utility easements in University Acres, they needed to be
shown on the plat.
PRELIMINARY PLAT - NORTH HILLS HEIGHTS
HARRY GRAY - SW OF APPLEBY RD., N OF BISHOP DR.
The next item considered by the Plat Review Committee was a
preliminary plat for North Hills Heights Subdivision located
southwest of Appleby Road and north of Bishop Drive owned by S & T

RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans stated he saw no problems with the plat.
LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Mr. Winkler stated the easements appeared to be adequate. He
further stated that, if the developer wanted a streetlight at the
entrance, there would need to be a 10 -foot easement along the east
of lot 48. He further requested a copy of the proposed lay -out so
he could see which lots would be connected.
DAVID TUCKER - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mr. Tucker agreed that the easements appeared to be adequate. He
also requested a copy of the proposed lay -out showing which lots
would be connected. He further stated an existing barn sitting on

since there was a cable along Appleby Road. He requested the
number of total units that would be built.
L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson agreed with the comments from the other utility
companies.
TRACI PAUL - PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Ms. Paul stated Jim Johnson, 911 Systems, had informed her the
subdivision name of North Hills Heights could not be used since
there was already a North Hills Addition.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
Mr. Franklin explained that the developer would have to contact Mr.
Johnson on the name of the street also and could verify a
subdivision name at the same time. He further stated that, because
the street was only 800 feet, it would require a variance.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Mr. Bunn suggested tying the street into Sunny Lane. He explained
that he did not know what the Planning Department would recommend
but the Planning Commission would have to make the final decision.
He explained that the length of the cul-de-sac would require a
variance.
Mr. Bunn stated there needed to be a legend on the plat. He
further requested that, if there were any easements adjacent to

this property, they be shown on the plat. He suggested a tie
through with either Susan Lane, Sunny Lane, or Peg Lane. He stated
it appeared that Susan Lane might be a good tie-in point. Mr. Bunn
requested a preliminary grading plan.
Mr. Bunn stated the fire chief had approved the fire hydrants but
had requested a tie -through to Appleby for the water. He further
stated he did not believe the fire chief had noted there was a six
inch loop line from Peg Lane. He stated he would talk to the
chief. He further requested the normal signature blocks be placed
on the plat.
