LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT - COWBOY STEAKHOUSE
MIKE COLLINS - N OF MILLSAP, W OF COLLEGE
The first item on the agenda was a large scale development for Cowboy Steakhouse,
presented by Albert Skiles on behalf of Mike Collins, for property located on the
north side of Millsap, west of College Avenue. The property is zoned C-2,
Thoroughfare Commercial.
Mr. Skiles explained the structure had originally been an Amish barn constructed
in the 1830's in Indiana which the owners had taken it apart to move to Fayetteville.
He noted the kitchen area would be an add-on to the original structure.
Ms. Little advised a lot split would be required on this property.
Mr. Stiles noted he was aware of that. He explained they had tried to get as many
parking spaces as possible and still have landscaping. He pointed out the building
would be 40 feet wide plus have porches (the original structure measured 40 x 75
feet). He explained the structure would set forty feet further south than Chili's.
He further explained the owners believed the visibility of the building would be the
draw to the restaurant.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans stated there was an existing 50 foot utility easement on the north property
line for a high pressure gas line. He noted the other utility companies could use the
same easement. He explained they would set the meter at the building and wanted
to do that before the dirt work for the parking lot took place.
DALE CHEATHAM - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mr. Cheatham stated he would need a 10 foot easement at the north end of the
property. He explained he had service at the northeast corner and needed to get
to the northwest corner.
JUDY WILLIAMS - SWEPCO
Ms. Williams advised Mr. Skiles SWEPCO had a switch gear at the southwest corner.

In response to a question from Mr. Skiles, she explained it would be quite expensive
to move the switch gear.
L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson requested a 10 foot easement at the north edge of the property. He
further noted he would need a 2 -inch PVC from the utility room to the northeast
corner of the property.
After discussion, it was determined all the utility companies could use the existing
50 -foot easement at the north end of the property.
RANDY ALLEN - STREET DIVISION
Mr. Allen asked if there would be any drainage impact to the state right-of-way to
Highway 71.
Mr. Skiles stated the drainage was directed toward the highway.
Mr. Norbash requested Mr. Skiles contact Mr. Harold Beavers with the State
Highway Department.
• MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Mr. Jackson explained the occupancy type of the building would not require the
building to be sprinkled but he would recommend they do so.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DIVISION
•
Mr. Franklin pointed out that eventually Millsap would be a major thoroughfare. He
cautioned Mr. Skiles to keep the landscaping at the entrance under 30 inches in
height.
ALETT LITTLE - PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Ms. Little asked if there should be any costs associated with the improvement and/or
extension of Millsap assessed to the property owner.
Mr. Norbash stated he did not know, he would have to talk to Mr. Bunn.
Ms. Little also noted there needed to be a sidewalk on the north side of Millsap. She
questioned Mr. Skiles regarding signs.
Mr. Skiles stated the only signs they planned on erecting would be on the building.
There was also discussion regarding location of the dumpster, sewer, and street
lighting. Mr. Skiles stated he would contact Greg Fields regarding the dumpster
location.
After review, Mr. Norbash stated apparently sewer was available.

PRELIMINARY PLAT - WOODBURY PLACE
MID -SOUTHERN ENTERPRISES - E OF SALEM, N OF WEDINGTON
The next item was a preliminary plat for Woodbury Place presented by Harry Gray
on behalf of Mid -Southern Enterprises, for property located on the east side of
Salem, north of Wedington. The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential,
and has 9 proposed lots to be developed as duplexes.
Mr. Gray pointed out they had extended Mica Street to the proposed subdivision.
The utility representatives agreed the easements shown were fine.
LISA COX - PARKS DEPARTMENT
Ms. Cox noted that with 18 units the parks fees would be .23 acre or $1,890.00. She
further noted this subdivision might be included in the land donated for Davis Park.
She explained they were working on the compilation of units versus land donated.
She advised Mr. Gray the matter would be heard at the August 3 Parks Board
meeting.
RANDY ALLEN - STREETS DIVISION
Mr. Allen reminded Mr. Gray the sidewalks would need handicap access.
SID NORBASH - ENGINEERING
Mr. Norbash stated it might be tight getting the sewer line to lot 5.
Mr. Gray agreed and noted they could work that out before filing the final plat.
Ms. Little pointed out the City Engineer would need to approve the drainage and
grading plans. She asked if any improvements needed to be made to Salem Road.
Mr. Gray noted Salem was already curbed and guttered. He further noted the city
had 60 feet of right-of-way.
ALETT LITTLE - PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Ms. Little requested the sidewalk end at the lot line of lot 3 instead of 10 feet before
the property line.
Mr. Gray agreed. He further noted that if the sidewalk was on the north side of Mica
on the west side of Salem, they would continue it on the north side.
Ms. Little asked if the subdivision was being built over an existing pond.
Mr. Gray stated the pond was presently being drained. He explained it was not a
very large area and was fed by a spring.
Ms. Little expressed concern especially since there was a spring.

Mr. Norbash shared Ms. Little's concern. He asked where the drainage would go.
Mr. Gray explained there was a 10 foot drainage ditch through Walnut Haven and it
would be rechanneled. He noted he would change the drainage easement to 15 or 20
feet instead of the 10 feet shown. He pointed out most of the surface drainage went
along the north property line.
Ms. Little stated they might have to put in a retention pond. She noted that usually
the city did not request a drainage plan at the time of the filing of a preliminary plat
but in this case they probably needed one.
FINAL PLAT - RIDGEMONTE ESTATES (FORMERLY ASPEN HEIGHTS)
MB3 PROPERTIES - S OF MISSION, E OF FOX HUNTER'S ROAD
The last item was a final plat for Ridgemonte Estates (formerly Aspen Heights)
presented by Mel Milholland on behalf of MB3 Properties, for property located south
of Mission and east of Fox Hunter's Road, containing 71.26 acres with 29 proposed
lots.
Mr. Milholland informed the committee he had erroneously left off the number on lot
30 and had failed to shown an existing house on Lot 2. He directed their attention
to the waivers granted by both the city and county.
In response to a question from Ms. Little, Mr. Milholland stated the owner planned
on installing fire hydrants in the subdivision. He explained he still needed to
discuss the size of the water line with Mr. Bunn.
RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans stated the easements were adequate.
Mr. Milholland stated they did want the utilities underground and along the road in
order to preserve trees. He explained he needed to know where the utility
representatives needed crossings.
FLOYD CANTRELL - OZARK ELECTRIC
Mr. Cantrell asked if there was an easement on the south end (between lots 23 and
24) so they could have a loop feed.
Mr. Milholland pointed out there was an easement with 15 feet on each side.
Mr. Cantrell stated he would not need all of the easements. He stated the 25 -foot
easement along all of the roadways would be adequate and the lot line easements were
not needed.
DALE CHEATHAM - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mr. Cheatham stated he would need a two-inch crossing between lots 20 and 27 on
Churchill.

L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
In response to a question from Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Milholland stated there was
approximately 3,300 feet of streets in the subdivision.
Mr. Ferguson stated it would cost 90 cents a foot for cable -- the cable company's
policy had not changed. He also requested a crossing at the same location requested
by Mr. Cheatham.
RANDY ALLEN - STREET DIVISION
Mr. Allen asked if they had a drainage plan.
Mr. Milholland noted the pond would stay as a retention pond. He stated the amount
of run-off was very small.
The meeting adjourned at 9:50 a.m.
