presented by Harry Gray. The property consists
zoned I-1.
approval of a large
Burt Hanna, to be
west of Armstrong,
of 8.8 acres and is
Mr. Gray explained Mr. Hanna planned a warehouse development;
building warehouses and then leasing them. He also noted they were
designing the complex so that at some future date it could be
subdivided.
DALE CHEATUM - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mr. Cheatum stated he would need 4 -inch conduit under the driveway.
In response to a question, Mr. Gray explained the parking would be
built to suit the tenant. He further explained the parking shown
on the plat was the maximum amount of parking that could be
provided.
LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Mr. Winkler noted Mr. Hanna usually provided three-phase to his
warehouses.
Mr. Gray stated he believed Mr. Hanna would also want three-phase
for this project.
Mr. Winkler noted there was a large circuit on the south side of
15th Street. He explained they would like to build overhead down
either the east or west side of the property. He stated he
believed for visibility purposes Mr. Hanna would prefer the west
side. He asked that the 25 -foot setback also be a utility

easement. He also requested they have some load information before
extending three-phase. He explained the services to the buildings
could be underground but the main line would remain overhead. He
also noted they would attempt to place their poles on the future
property lines in case the property was subdivided in the future.
Mr. Winkler stated they could work something out as far as street
lighting should the street become a public street. He pointed out
there was a 160,000 watt line along Highway 16 which might require
a 50 foot easement. He stated he would check the size of the
easement and get back with Mr. Gray.
Mr. Gray noted a larger easement would not be a problem since the
building was set back over 60 feet.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans stated they also needed an easement down the west side of
the property and another one along the front of the property. He
stated he would need a 4 -inch conduit under the driveway.
L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson noted that, since this was a commercial development,
they probably would not want cable services. He pointed out there
was a cable line along the north side of the highway.
ALETT LITTLE - PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Ms. Little stated a sidewalk was required on 15th Street. She
further stated that, since the zoning was I-1, the setback on the
west side (adjoining a residential area) would be 50 feet unless
they wanted to provide screening. She also requested the zoning be
listed on the plat.
DON COCHRAN - PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
Mr. Cochran explained that if they were planning to tapping into
the large line, they would have to build a manhole and do a main
extension.
Mr. Gray stated they had been planning on doing a main extension.
He further noted there was an existing 8 -inch water line on the
north side of 15th Street which they planned on bringing to the
property. He explained they wanted to have adequate water and
sewer if they should decide to subdivide.

DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Mr. Bunn noted that, should the property be subdivided, the 24 -foot
drive would have to be upgraded.
SHARON LANGLEY - PLANNING DIVISION
Ms. Langley stated that Jim Johnson, Property Location Analysist,
had called to report the private drive might have to have a street
name.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Mr. Jackson explained that the property would not have to be
sprinklered unless the warehouses were used to store hazardous
material. He stated they would need one fire hydrant. He
recommended they place the hydrant at the north end of the first
grassy area.
Mr. Gray explained they might have to modify the corner of the
drive. He further explained the Highway Department had to approve
the entrance.
• PRELIMINARY PLAT - QUAIL CREEK SUBDIVISION, PHASE II
MEL MILHOLLAND - S OF APPLEBY, E OF GREGG
The last item to be reviewed was a request by Mel Milholland on
behalf of Wade and Peggy Bishop for approval of the preliminary
plat of Phase II of Quail Creek Subdivision, located south of
Appleby and east of Gregg. The property is zoned R-1.5, Medium
Density Residential.
Mr. Milholland explained this was a resubmittal of Phase II and the
only major difference that the original Phase II was now Phase II
and Phase III. He noted the lot sizes were the same, the street
locations were the same, water and sewer lines were the same, etc.
He also noted some of the street names had been changed.
Ms. Little stated her department had received a comment on the
street names from Jim Johnson. She recommended Mr. Milholland
review the names with Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Milholland reminded the committee that originally there was an
agreement between the developers and the City that the developers
would totally construct Appleby Road and not participate in the
construction of Drake Street.

LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO
Mr. Winkler stated that at the southeast corner there was an
overhead line that went underground. He explained he would need a
side lot easement between lots 36 and 37, a street crossing across
Quail Creek Drive, and side lot easements between lots 44 and 45.
He further explained that, if he was the only utility using the
easement he would need 15 feet but that if other utilities were
going to use the same easement, it would need to be wider. He
further noted that on the dividing line between Phase I and Phase
II there did not appear to be an easement.
Mr. Milholland agreed there should be an easement at that location.
He noted there was a 20 -foot easement on Phase I. He suggested a
10 -foot easement on Phase II.
Mr. Winkler agreed. It was determined there would also be a 10
foot easement either between lots 30 and 31 or between lots 29 and
30. He also requested a crossing at the cul-de-sac at Clymer from
lot 18 to the dividing line between lots 24 and 25. He also noted
that at the west end of lot 24, which was a flood plain, there was
a separate utility easement shown but he would like it moved
uphill.
•Mr. Milholland suggested moving it adjacent to the sanitary sewer.
He stated he would change the easement to a 25 -foot easement and
run the easement north from lot 25 across lot 24.
Mr. Winkler agreed. He also noted he would need another street
crossing across Clymer Drive between lots 13 and 14, 30 and 31. He
stated the 15 -foot easement on those lots would need to be upsized.
Mr. Milholland asked if it would be possible to come between lots
14 and 15 to lots 28 and 29 instead.
Mr. Winkler said that would be agreeable. He also covered all
other street crossings he would need. He further stated they would
put the street lights in as shown.
L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson explained the cable company would not provide service
until the houses were built. He further explained that, if the
developer desired to have the cable installed with the other
utility companies, it would cost 90 cents a foot to lay the cable.
He noted he would need a crossing on William James between lots 8
and 9 across to lots 41 and 42. He stated the other easements
requested by SWEPCO were adequate for him.

TOMMY ATHA - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mr. Atha explained they would extend an existing line down the
easement on the east. He stated from Lot 16 of Phase I there was
a 20 -foot utility easement which would need to be extended through
lots 19 and 20 of Phase II. He further stated he would need a
crossing for 4 -inch conduit between lots 1 and 18 in Block 3 to
lots 20 and 21.
It was determined the easement could run between lots 20 and 21
instead of 19 and 20.
Mr. Atha noted he also would need a crossing across William James
between lots 8 and 9 to 41 and 42.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans stated the easements requested by the other utility
companies were fine. He further stated he would also need a
crossing for Ripple Creek Drive between lots 1 and 18 to 20 and 21
and also one on William James and one on the south end of Quail
Creek Drive.
• MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
•
Mr. Jackson discussed the location of the fire hydrant. It was
determined the one shown at Ripple Creek and Clymer would be
sufficient.
CONNIE EDMONSTON - PARKS DEPARTMENT
Ms. Edmonston explained that, when the preliminary plat for the
entire subdivision was presented in 1985, the Parks Board had
requested land in lieu of money. She further explained the Board
of Directors had denied their request because they did not want the
City to put in the bridge at Gregg Street. She informed Mr.
Milholland the Park Board would be having a facilities meeting at
the site on Monday at 5:30 p.m. to discuss whether they wanted land
or money. She requested either the developer or the engineer meet
with them.
In response to a question from Ms. Edmonston, Mr. Milholland
explained that Jim Lindsey owned the property on the other side of
the creek.
Mr. Milholland explained the developer was not planning on
constructing houses on the lots but just develop the lots. He
further explained he did not know whether future purchasers would
construct one -family dwellings or duplexes. He stated at one time
Plat Review

the developer had discussed constructing duplexes on some of the
larger lots.
Ms. Little pointed out the ordinances required a developer to
indicate the proposed use of the land upon filing a subdivision
plat.
Mr. Milholland stated they could not enforce that because often a
developer would sell the property before construction and the
developer would not know what would be built. He further stated
that as long as they met the requirements of zoning and got a
building permit, they could construct anything.
Mr. Milholland stated they would need to change the zoning if they
were going to put stipulations on a subdivision.
Mr. Bunn explained it would make a difference to the utility
companies if they were constructing duplexes as opposed to single
family homes.
Ms. Edmonston stated if there were to be 62 single family homes the
land requirement would be 1.6 acres. She explained that they would
need to know whether the property had single family homes or
duplexes in order to figure greenspace fees. She noted that if all
lots were single family homes the greenspace fees would be
$13,950.00.
DON COCHRAN - PUBLIC WORKS
Mr. Cochran pointed out that the sewer line was on an easement that
went between the lots. He stated they might have a problem when
the fences were constructed.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Mr. Bunn stated he had no comments.
ALETT LITTLE - PLANNING
Ms. Little stated the Master Sidewalk Plan required sidewalks on
both sides of Drake Street. She further stated she did not know if
that had been discussed in the other agreement on Phase I.
Mr. Bunn requested that the water and sewer easements be
resubmitted to him. He noted the sewer line would need to be 8
inches.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 a.m.
