UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES: Rick Evans, Andy Calloway, Floyd Cantrell, Floyd Homaday, John Hill, L.O. Ferguson CITY REPRESENTATIVES: Alett Little, Tim Conklin, Mickey Jackson, Perry Franklin, Don Bunn, John Redfern OTHERS PRESENT• David Jorgenson, Kurt Jones, Leonard Messina, David Cox, Bill Rudasill LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT - CROSSOVER STORAGE DANNY VILLINES & CORDON WILKINS - W. OF CROSSOVER, S. OF MISSION The first item was a large scale development for Crossover Storage presented by David Jorgenson on behalf of Danny Villines and Gordon Wilkins for property located west of Crossover, south of Mission Boulevard. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, and contains 2.66 acres. Mr. Jorgenson, in answer to a question from Ms. Little, explained the area of the floodplain in the development presented a difficult problem. Reading from the plat, He stated: Zone A is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 100 -year floodplains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by approximate methods. Because detailed hydraulic analyses are not performed for such areas, no base flood elevations or depths are shown within this zone. Mr. Jorgenson explained that, having spoken with Little Rock, he determined it was not possible to obtain 100 -year floodplain elevations - remarking the detailed hydraulic analyses had been discontinued at Old Wire Road and Skillern Road. Ms. Little remarked her problem was discrepancies in elevations on corresponding sides of the floodplain area as noted on the plat. Mr. Jorgenson responded there was nothing to be done about the contours; however, information was available to determine what portion of the site was effected. Mr. Bunn stated what was required to resolve the issue was a coordinated effort to analyze upstream drainage areas and calculate the 100 -year flood through the development and compare projected volume with the capacity of the existing ditch. • Ms. Little stated plats would be required for Subdivision Committee the following Tuesday by 10:00 a.m. She explained the original plat of Crossover Storage had shown 28,000 square Og Plat Review •November 24, 1993 Page 2 feet of storage area, and noted the subject plat showed 33,000 square feet of storage area and showed buildings 7 and 8 abutting the extreme west property line. Ms. Little stated there were trees at the west property line in addition to a screening requirement. She remarked the site had limitations - existing trees, a screening requirement, and encroachment of the 100 - year floodplain - which would need to be resolved. In answer to a question pertaining to the screening requirement, Ms. Little explained the development abutted a residential zone and therefore required screening; in addition, the City had a Tree Preservation ordinance which required that of the total number of existing trees on site, a certain number must be preserved. Mr. Jorgenson stated he would determine the number of existing trees to be removed and replace them. RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS Mr. Evans had no comment. FLOYD HORNADAY - SWEPCO Mr. Hornaday stated there was an existing service line on the west side of Hwy 265 - adding service could be provided to the north of south side of the development. Mr. Hornaday asked, with regard to the 30 access/utility easement, how much of the easement would be used for access. When asked by Mr. Jorgenson if it was possible to service the development underground, Mr. Hornaday replied it was possible to do so to the rear from Hwy 265. Ms. Little remarked the City was encouraging underground service and the site had been rezoned to allow for it. Mr. Jorgenson explained a six inch water line was platted north of the property line and ten feet further a sewer line, therefore the 30 easement would not offer a lot of room for overhead poles. In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Jorgenson stated the paved area would meet and not exceed regulation. Ms. Little stated gravel was preferable to facilitate perc testing. ANDY CALLOWAY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL Mr. Calloway expressed concern that the development was not serviceable from an easement standpoint - adding two original easement requests across the north and south property lines were no longer feasible. • Mr. Jorgenson stated there would be no telephone service in any of the buildings - adding there would not be an office or apartment on the site. He explained a future office might be Plat Review • November 24, 1993 Page 3 erected on an abutting lot.

Mr. Jorgenson stated the abutting property to the east was separately owned, and in response to a question from Mr. Little, remarked the developers had an agreement with the west property owners to extend the street east through their property to connect with Villa Blvd. • Mr. Franklin expressed concern about how close Villa Blvd came in to the intersection - • joining the proposed street at the same curb cut.

LO FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE Mr. Ferguson stated the requested easements were fine. TIM CONKLIN - PLANNING OFFICE Mr. Conklin stated setbacks noted on R -O lots were incorrect - adding if no parking was developed in front on any structures, the setback was 30 feet and if parking was developed in front of a structure the setback was 50 feet.

Ms Little stated any residential development whatsoever would have to be recoordinated with all the utility companies. Mr. Conklin stated sidewalks were required along both sides of the street as well as along the east side of Gregg Street. Ms. Little stated if the development were residential, sidewalks on only one side of the street was satisfactory. Mr. Conklin stated a Tree Preservation Plan would need to be submitted by Subdivision Committee.
