RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS Mr. Evans agreed the easements were fine. L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE Mr. Ferguson noted the earthen swale along lots 23, 34, 35, and 36. He stated that needed to be a drainage easement. He further stated there needed to be a separate drainage easement from the utility easement. Mr. Milholland explained it would just be a swale in order to carry the water down. Mr. Ferguson stated that, unless precautions were taken, the utilities would wash out. Mr. Milholland noted the area would be grassed so it would not erode. Mr. Bunn stated on the original plat it had been shown as a utility easement. RS Plat Review • March 26, 1992 Page 6 Mr. Ferguson stated he had a problem with a drainage easement and utility easement being combined but the utilities were already in. Mr. Milholland stated they could move the swale over to the west 10 or 15 feet but reiterated his belief the land would not erode. Mr. Ferguson asked about an off-site easement. Mr. Milholland stated he would talk to the owner of the adjoining property, but he doubted he would agree to an easement. Mr. Ferguson stated the problem of moving the swale to the west was that the utility companies would have to cross it. There was discussion regarding the runoff and the fact that the Highway Department was planning on cutting the ditch out lower which would improve the area along the back of lots 35 and 36. The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 a.m. • •
