JOHN HILL - SWEPCO Mr. Hill stated SWEPCO intended to service the building north of the fifty foot easement along the south boundary - ten feet into the easement.

Ms. Little questioned how power was presently reaching the construction site.

Mr. Bunn stated it would be necessary to coordinate the location of utilities within the fifty foot easement, adding the City planned to put a thirty-six inch water line in, as well as an eight inch line. Mr. Hill stated that SWEPCO intended to stay as far north of the easement as possible. Mr. Milholland pointed out problems might exist servicing the building as a result of the necessity of digging across the utility lines in the south easement. Mr. Bunn responded that the City hadn't intended that to be necessary, but that the south side was the best location because it prevented other Imes from crossing the water line. In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Hill explained the creek was between the easement and the property to the south. He advised the line would have to go overhead. ANDY CALLOWAY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL Mr. Calloway stated that he approved of the easements. He informed the committee Southwestern Bell intended to service the building via the Joyce Street easement, which would require a three inch conduit from the building to the easement.

He offered easements to allow the water to drain to the creek. Ms. Little stated that as a result of the service road being set back forty-five feet from the west property line, she would assume that development to the west would furnish access • • • Plat Review • August 26, 1993 Page 3 • • roads, with buildings backing up to the service road. She noted this would establish the development pattern for future adjacent construction. Ms. Little informed Ms. Bunch the City of Fayetteville had previously enforced strict requirements that gardern center areas be integrated into the design of the building.
