PRELIMINARY PLAT - CEDARPOINT SUBDIVISION
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CO. - S OF HUNTSVILLE, W OF CURTIS
The only item on the agenda was a preliminary plat for Cedarpoint Subdivision
presented by Leonard Gabbard on behalf of the General Development Company for
property located on the south side of Huntsville Road, west of Curtis Avenue. The
property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential, contains 12.91 acres with 37
proposed lots.
TIM CONKLIN - PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Mr. Conklin advised the Planning Department would like some changes made to the
plat. He pointed out there was right-of-way to the east (Fairlane Street) which staff
wanted to see extended and stubbed out. He noted the street was not currently
developed but would be when the property to the east was developed. He stated
extension of the street would affect lots 18 and 19.
He further advised that Curtis Street did adjoin the backs of lots 29, 30 and 31. He
noted staff did not like to have double frontage lots. He suggested eliminating the
cul-de-sac and presented them with a different design. He pointed out that would
give them 39 lots rather than the 37. He requested they use the money they would
have spent on the cul-de-sac and apply it to the extension of Curtis. He noted any
additional costs would be borne by the City.
Chief Jackson asked if they were proposing opening Curtis Street to Huntsville
Road.
Mr. Gabbard explained that was shown on the master plan but they only planned on
opening it up to the north side of lot 31. He advised there was currently a dirt track
from that point to Huntsville.
Mr. Conklin requested sidewalks be shown on the plat. He also noted Huntsville
Road would be widened in the near future and the City would need an additional 15
feet of right-of-way.
• Mr. Gabbard asked if the City would allow a road cut to the water line on the north
side of Huntsville.

Chief Jackson stated he would recommend it. He explained the city had two different
pressure planes which could not be interconnected. He stated they would want the
line looped.
Mr. Conklin requested there be more street names on the vicinity map. He also
noted they would need to contact Jim Johnson, 9-1-1 Systems, regarding street
names. He further explained they needed to contact Rick Evans, Arkansas Western
Gas, because he had been unable to attend the meeting.
CONNIE EDMONSTON - PARKS DEPARTMENT
Ms. Edmonston advised the land dedication would be 1.44 acres (figured at .02 acres
per unit) and money in lieu of land would be $14,040 (figured at $180.00 per unit).
JACK REGAL - SWEPCO
Mr. Regal advised there could be some changes to his requests since the plat would
be changing. He requested an additional 10 -foot easement at the northeast corner
down between lots 34 and 35; a 15 -foot easement between lots 31 and 32; a 15 -foot
easement between lots 27 and 28; and a 15 -foot easement along the north side of lot
21. He noted they were showing a proposed grassline drainage swale along the south
side of the property and asked how wide it would be.
Mr. Gabbard stated it would be 10 to 15 foot wide. He explained there was an
existing swale now which they planned to better define.
Mr. Regal stated he would like 15 feet of usable space for a utility easement on the
north side of the ditch. He advised there was the same situation behind lots 7, 8,
9, 10 and 11. He asked if they would be defining some type of drainage swale along
that side.
Mr. Gabbard explained it was already fairly well defined. He explained the natural
drainage tended to go onto the property to the west.
Mr. Regal stated he needed 15 feet of usable space in that area for a utility
easement. He explained there was an existing overhead line which ran behind lots
33, 34, 35, 36, and 37. He stated he would make that his beginning point for the
underground service.
DALE CHEATHAM - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE
Mr. Cheatham stated there were existing facilities along the gravel road. He noted
that, if they had to relocate, there would be a charge. He requested the following
crossings: 30 to 21; 22 to 16; and 18 to 19 across the stub out of Fairlane. He noted
the easements requested by SWEPCO were satisfactory. He further advised it would
be helpful to show Curtis Lane north to Huntsville Road.
L. O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE
Mr. Ferguson asked if the units were going to be put in all at once.

Mr. Gabbard stated he believed they would be.
Mr. Ferguson stated they would provide service but, if they were not going to be
constructed together, it would cost the developer 90 cents per foot. He also
requested the drainage easements and utility easements be split. He further
requested the utility easement be closer to the lot. He noted he would need various
crossings.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Chief Jackson requested the hydrant shown between lots 20 and 21 be moved to the
proposed intersection of Curtis and Fairlane (on the north side of the street); move
the hydrant at the end of the cul-de-sac out to the north -south street. He asked
Mr. Bunn if the north end of the water line could be tied to the 8 -inch line on
Huntsville Road.
Mr. Bunn stated he believed that would be possible. In response to a question from
Mr. Gabbard, he advised the 14 -inch line running across the property had given
some problems at some locations and it might, at some future date, be abandoned.
Chief Jackson also requested they move a hydrant up to the intersection of
Huntsville and the north -south street.
Mr. Bunn left the meeting to check on the water lines. He returned and noted they
might not be able to abandon the 14 -inch line. He noted he would do further
research and talk with Mr. Gabbard.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
Mr. Franklin requested they place a streetlight to the north of the cul-de-sac since
there would be no cul-de-sac. He also requested a streetlight at the northeast
corner of lot 31. He noted there were sight distance problems on Huntsville Road
and cautioned they be careful with placement of signs and landscaping.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Mr. Bunn advised the city would require improvements to Huntsville Road to city
street standards. He noted that, in this instance, they would probably take a
contract for the improvement of the length of the subdivision on Huntsville Road
(approximately 330 feet). He also noted they would need to file drainage and
grading plans.
The meeting adjourned at 9:45 a.m.
