zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, contains 33.82 acres with 19 proposed lots.
ALETT LITTLE - PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Me. Little advised there needed to
Upon questioning by Chief Jackson,
the intersection of Wimberly Drive
stated sidewalks would be required
be a street name on the street to the south.
Ms. Little stated the street was Milleap to
and after that it was Futrall. She further
on both sides of all streets.
After discussion, it was determined it would be better to have the street to the
west property line of the development be named Millsap and Futrall Drive after
that point. Mr. Franklin pointed out the street changed direction at that point.
Ms. Little advised the street was a collector street and 60 feet of right-of-way
would be required rather than the 50 feet shown. She pointed out all of the lots
within the development would be subject to the large scale development process
since they were all over one acre in size. She asked if there would be
restrictive covenants.
Mr. Petrie stated he did not believe there would be covenants.
Ms. Little stated that, since this area was highly visible from the by-pass, she
wanted some type of mechanism to require each building to have dual frontage so
it would look good from the by-pass as well as from Millsap. She pointed out
restrictive covenants would give good design control for the entire development.
RICE EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS
Mr. Evans stated the easements shown were fine. He asked when construction on
the buildings would start.
Mr. Petrie stated he was not sure but believed it would be in the near future.
JOHN HILL - SWEPCO
Mr. Hill asked if each property would be eold separately.
Mr. Petrie stated that was true.
Ms. Little pointed out each property would have to go through the large scale
development process.

ALETT LITTLE - PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Ms. Little advised there had already been three lot splits on the subject tract
and, in order to split the property further (as shown on the plat), a subdivision

would then be removed.

Mr. Bunn advised that 12.5 feet of the first drive would have to be paved.
Ms. Little noted the parking lot would also have to be paved and wheel guards
provided.
DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
Mr. Bunn stated sewer and water would be available to the site. He asked if they
planned a swimming pool.
Mr. Jones doubted there would be a pool.
Mr. Bunn stated that, assuming there would be a subdivision, they would discuss
improvements to Zion Road at that time. He further stated that, at the time a
subdivision was filed, off-site improvements could be required. He further noted
a grading plan would be required. He advised that, if they did not have a
preliminary grading plan at the time the plat went to the Planning Commission,
there was a notification requirement when the grading plan was submitted. He
explained that, as long as the grading plan was considered along with the large
scale development, the notification required for the large scale development was
considered sufficient for the grading permit also.
