UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES: CITY REPRESENTATIVES: OTHERS PRESENT: Review Committee was held on a.m. in Room 111 of the City Mountain Street, Fayetteville, Rick Evans, John Hill, Floyd Cantrell, David Reese, Darrell Ritchey, Andy Calloway, L.O. Ferguson Alett Little, Don Bunn, Tim Conklin, John Redfern, Mickey Jackson, Perry Franklin, Randy Allen, Lisa Cox Bill Rudasill, Albert Skiles, David Jorgensen, Mel Milholland, Dennis Becker, Al Harris PRELIMINARY PLAT - GRAUE SUBDIVISION B.W. GRAUE - N. SIDE OF HUNTSVILLE, S. SIDE OF WYMAN The first item on the agenda was a preliminary plat for Graue • Subdivision presented by Bill Rudasill, WBR Engineering Associates, on behalf of B.W. Graue for property located on the north side of Huntsville Road, and the south side of Wyman Road. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains 3.9 acres with 6 proposed lots. RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS Mr. Evans requested a 20 foot utility easement on the south side of Wyman Road and an utility easement on the north side of Huntsville Road. In response to a question from Mr. Rudasill, Mr. Bunn confirmed the utilities could share the existing 25 foot sewer easement and advised Mr. Rudasill to designate it as a general utility easement. FLOYD CANTRELL - OZARKS ELECTRIC Mr. Cantrell requested the same easements as Mr. Evans. ANDY CALLOWAY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL Mr. Calloway requested the same easements and pointed out there was an existing telephone cable across the south property line. DARRELL RITCHEY - U.S. POSTAL SERVICE • Mr. Ritchey had no comment. PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DIVISION Superintendent Franklin had no comment. LISA COX - PARKS AND RECREATION Ms. Cox advised land dedication was .15 acres and money in lieu was $1,350. ALETT LITTLE - PLANNING OFFICE Ms. Little advised there was a road to the north of the development that could be extended to provide through access adding there was not currently a street planned which would connect Huntsville and Wyman Road. She remarked this was a Street Department issue. Ms. Little pointed out site distance due to curve and grade on Wyman Road was very poor for lots 1,2, and 3. Mr. Conklin confirmed lots 2 and 3 would share the dedicated access. Ms. Little commented lot 4 did not have to be a tandem lot because there was existing access to the east - adding the access was through a trailer park. MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT In response to a question from Chief Jackson, Ms. Little advised lot 4 had access from both Wyman Road between lots 1 and 2 and Huntsville. Chief Jackson stated he was not in favor of.a subdivision accessed via dedicated access easements as opposed to standard streets - citing Gaddy Acres. Ms. Little remarked only one house could be built on lot 4 - adding the alternative to a dedicated access easement was to require the standard 50 of right-of-way and waive the full street requirement. Chief Jackson and Ms. Little requested the building pad be designated on the plat for lot 4 to insure the structure was within 500 feet of a fire hydrant. Mr. Bunn confirmed the lot was located such that any house constructed on it would be within 500 feet of a hydrant. TIM CONKLIN - PLANNING OFFICE Mr. Conklin advised an additional 5 feet of right-of-way was required on the south side of Wyman Road. He stated "Tract B" had to be stricken from the subdivision title, and advised the access to the tandem lot had to be paved twenty five feet from • • • Plat Review Committee January 27, 1994 Page 3 the street - adding a hard surface turnaround or an enclosed trash area was required for trash pick-up. In a discussion pertaining to the vehicle accident history of the curve on Wyman Road, Ms. Little recommended additional lot depth for lots 1,2 and 3, coordinated with the City Engineer, was the best solution. Mr. Conklin requested access be restricted for lot 3 to the dedicated access. DON BUNN - ENGINEERING DIVISION Mr. Bunn advised off-site improvements to one half of Wyman Road were required. Mr. Conklin stated the staff would determine the required right- of-way by Subdivision Committee. • • Plat Review Committee January 27, 1994 Page 4 FINAL PLAT - SEQUOYAH MEADOWS PHASE II C.W. COMBS - W. SIDE OF ED EDWARDS, S. OF HUNTSVILLE The next item on the agenda was a final plat for Sequoyah Meadows Phase II presented by Al Harris, Northwest Engineers, on behalf of C.W. Combs for property located on the west side of Ed Edwards, south of Huntsville Road. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains 36.86 acres with 67 proposed lots. DAVID REESE - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS Mr. Reese requested Mr. Harris designate the existing Arkansas Western Gas easement extending across the corner of lot 73. FLOYD CANTRELL - OZARKS ELECTRIC Mr. Cantrell had no comment. ANDY CALLOWAY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL Mr. Calloway requested the 15 foot utility easement on the east side of lot 98 be extended north across lot 97. Mr. Harris explained there was a 64 inch gas main necessitating a 15 foot private gas easement. Mr. Calloway advised he would need to cross the private easement to service a number of lots. Mr. Bunn suggested the plat reflect that utility companies have permission to cross the private easement. L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE Mr. Ferguson requested the existing 20 foot drainage and utility easement between lots 82 and 83 be designated on the plat and also requested he be given a copy of the revised final plat. DARRELL RITCHEY - U.S. POSTAL SERVICE Mr. Ritchey elaborated on the various possibilities for servicing the development. LISA COX - PARKS AND RECREATION • Ms. Cox advised parks fees totalled $14,850 - adding the subdivision had been heard in 1991. • • • Plat Review Committee January 27, 1994 Page 5 Ms. Little confirmed that two lots had been eliminated and requested the lot numbering be corrected. PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DIVISION Superintendent Franklin advised there were no street lights at Milo Way, Ed Edwards Road and Cattail Court - stating lights were required at every intersection, every cul-de-sac and then every 300 feet. He remarked the 300 foot spacing requirement could be waived slightly to facilitate placement of the street lights on lot lines. RANDY ALLEN - STREET DEPARTMENT Superintendent Allen requested drainage easements and utility easements be separated. In response to a question from Superintendent Allen, Mr. Harris remarked drainage off lot 39 headed southeast. Ms. Little asked Superintendent Allen if he felt a drainage easement across the front of lot 39 was necessary to carry water to the drainage easement between lots 92 and 93. Superintendent Allen confirmed drainage would be carried by open ditch. Mr. Bunn advised drainage easements 15 feet wide would be sufficient - adding a 10 foot drainage easement, where adjacent to a utility easement, would be sufficient. He stated all drainage and utility easements should be designated separately. Ms. Little stated the drainage easement issue needed to be resolved prior to Subdivision Committee. She suggested the existing gasline be cased. MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT Chief Jackson had no comment. ALETT LITTLE - PLANNING OFFICE Ms. Little read the minutes for Sequoyah Meadows, Preliminary Plat, from the Planning Commission meeting held on November 12, 1991: see insert - Planning Commission Minutes November 12, 1991 - Sequoyah Meadows Preliminary Plat. „„).1/4.), PRELIMINARY PLAT - SEQUOYAH MEADOWS SUBDIVISION C. W. COMBS - S OF HUNTSVILLE RD., W OF ED EDWARDS RD. The third item on the agenda was a request for approval of a preliminary plat for Sequoyah Meadows Subdivision submitted by Harry Gray on behalf of C. W. Combs for property located south of Huntsville Road and west of Ed Edwards Road. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential and contains 37.9 acres with 99 lots proposed. • • Mr. Bunn explained the development was proposed in three phases, the first consisting of 9 acres south of Highway 16, containing 32 lots. He stated the utility companies did not have any significant comments. He further stated it had been suggested that, as the property developed, more easements might be required by the utility companies. He expla'ned staff had indicated that the tandem lots might not be acceptable since they did not appear to meet the requirements of the ordinance for tandem lots. He pointed out the ordinance indicated that tandem lots were acceptable only when terrain conditions made a normal subdivision not feasible. He further pointed out that in the past tandem lots had been approved without regard to the stated provision. He further stated staff requested a Bill of Assurance for improvement of Ed Edwards Road and had indicated a waiver of a maximum length of a cul-de-sac would be required for Fescue Court. Mr. Bunn stated the subdivision committee had recommended some changes, including that a right-of-way be dedicated east and west off of Tallgrass Drive between the entrance (Highway 16) and the curve to the east. He explained the developer was in agreement with that right-of-way dedication. He stated other changes recommended were that right-of-way be dedicated off of Fescue Court east to Ed Edwards Road, which would eliminate the cul-de-sac, and the elimination of the tandem lots by the extension of a street east from Tallgrass Drive and by extending Fescue Court to the north property line of the development. Mr. Gray explained he had not revised the plat after subdivision meeting, because the developer had desired input from the full Planning Commission. He agreed that right-of-way to the east and west off of Tallgrass Drive was in order. He suggested he work with the property owners in determining where the right-of-way should be located. He stated he believed the pond was a terrain feature in keeping within the intent of the ordinance. He explained that,should the Planning Commission direct that the tandem lots be eliminated, the developer had requested the two lots just be made larger so they would front on some street. Mr. Tarvin stated Mr. Bunn had summarized the subcommittee statements. In response to a question from Mr. Nickle, Mr. Tarvin pointed out that, by using the 40 foot right-of-way at the northeast corner, it would open the eastern • s • Ir Planning Commission November 12, 1991 Page 3 tandem lot. He explained the subcommittee had thought that, when the property to the north was developed, another 10 feet of right-of-way could be acquired. Mr. Gray explained the developer would rather enlarge the tandem lots so they would front on a street. He pointed out the entry lots were only 80 x 125 feet but the lots in the 38 acre tract were 100 x 150 to 200 feet. He stated he did not believed it was the Planning Commission's duty to weigh the economics of a development. He stated he believed the plan as submitted was a good plan based on a terrain feature. Ms. Britton stated the subdivision committee had believed Fescue Court was too long for a cul-de-sac and that was why they had made their suggestions. Mr. Gray pointed out they would be constructing a street with no lots on either, side at a cost of $15,000. Ms. Britton stated they were looking a circulation. She further stated another option was to bring it out to the east between lots 75 and 76. Mr. Gray explained that, while he was asking for a waiver on the cul-de-sac because it was over 500 feet in length, the lots were much larger than normal with only 12 lots using the cul-de-sac. Ms. Britton stated she had reviewed the -circulation of the entire development not just those 12 lots. In response to a question from Mr. Springborn, Mr. Gray explained it was economically preferrable to have the two tandem lots. He stated he did not understand why the Planning Commission was caposed to tandem lots. Mr. Springborn explained the primary purpose for having tandem lots in the ordinance was to accommodate unusual terrain. He expressed his believe that the terrain on this subdivision was not unusual. Mr. Gray explained that the more lots in a subdivision such as this one, the less street, water and sewer there would be and the less maintenance cost for the city. Ms. Bryant stated planning staff had originally raised the question of terrain but was now satisfied there was a valid terrain issue in this subdivision. She recommended the tandem lots be approved. Mr. Hanna stated he did not believe the tandem lots were a problem in this subdivision. He explained he thought the problem with tandem lots was in established neighborhoods with tandem lots behind existing houses in existing subdivisions. In response to a question from Mr. Allred, Mr. Bunn stated he agreed with Ms. Bryant that the pond presented a terrain feature that could be used to support the tandem lots. MOTION Mr. Springborn moved to approve the preliminary plat subject to staff plat review comments and subdivision comments excepting the elimination of the tandem lot. Mr. Hanna seconded the motion. After discussion, the Commission determined Fescue Court would be extended but the tandem lots would remain as tandem lots per the motion. Planning Commission November 12, 1991 Page 4 The motion passed 8-1-0 with Commissioners Britton, Hanna, Springborn, Allred, Tarvin, Robertson, Cato, and Nickle voting "yes" and Commissioner Cleghorn voting "no". Mr. Gray stated he was not certain what the Commission had approved. He asked if they had just approved right-of-way dedication. Mr. Bunn stated they had. He explained that, normally when the Commission required dedication from the interior to the border of a subdivision, they expected another developer to tie into the right-of-way. He further explained that in this subdivision there would never be an occasion for another developer to tie on. He suggested they require the right-of-way be required and constructed now or not require the dedication. Mr. Allred stated they needed to clarify how they wanted to deal with the dedication either by having no right-of-way extension or have the street constructed. Mr. Tarvin stated it was his understanding that the right-of-way dedication pertained to the quarter of a mile entrance in order to allow future development to the east and west to have access to the main road. He further stated the question of extending the right-of-way off of Fescue Court was to allow an access there and to eliminate a long cul-de-sac. He further stated the intent was that the road be built. MOTION Ms. Britton moved to rescind the previous motion. Mr. Springborn seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. In response to a question from Mr. Cleghorn, Mr. Bunn stated he did not feel strongly that the street needed to be extended. Mr. Allred asked what would be gained by requiring the extension of Fescue Court. Ms. Britton pointed out extending Fescue would allow better circulation throughout the subdivision. Mr. Allred pointed out that, in the past, they had been encouraging cul-de-sacs to reduce traffic through subdivisions with major and minor arterials to carry the traffic. Ms. Britton stated that would put an excessive burden on one route without extending Fescue. Mr. Hanna stated he believed it was unfair to make them extend Fescue since there was only 12 lots on the cul-de-sac. Mr. Bunn explained that requiring a road to be built from the end of Fescue Court east 'to Ed Edwards Road would not gain very much. He stated he would not recommend it. He suggested that in order to plan for circulation at a later point they could require dedication of right-of-way from the end of Fescue Court north to the edge of the property without requiring it to be built now. He explained that, in the future, someone developing to the north might tie into it. Mr. Gray agreed that would be a workable solution. • 0 i . 1 • Planning November 12, 1991 Page 5 Commission Ms. Bryant stated she did not understand why they were asking the cul-de-sac be extended since there were only 12 lots on the cul-de-sac. Twelve lots would only generate 120 vehicle trips/day and the cul-de-sac could handle 200. Mr. Allred stated he believed they were trying to apply design standards which they should not be getting involved in. He stated the engineer had presented the plat, the Commission had staff reports and comments, and he believed that was what they needed to base their decision on. MOTION Mr. Cleghorn moved to approve east and west right-of-way off the north but not constructing Mr. Hanna seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. the preliminary plat with the dedication of the of Tallgrass Drive and the granting of access to the road atthis time. • • • Plat Review Committee January 27, 1994 Page 6 Ms. Little confirmed lot 96 was a tandem lot and lot 97 had access off Fescue Court - noting = lot 97 was not a tandem lot. She pointed out the dedicated access divided lot 97 into two parts. Mr. Conklin pointed out as a result of the dedicated access and 30 foot Arkansas Western Gas line, lot 99 was not a buildable lot - adding the portion of lot 97 to the west of the dedicated access could be combined with lot 99. Ms. Little advised the street was not required to be built at this time. She remarked the issue of the western portion of lot 97 needed to be resolved - adding a public access to the water feature was desirable. • Plat Review Committee January 27, 1994 Page 7 LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT - CATFISH HOLE #2 PAT & JANIE GAZZOLA - S SIDE OF WEDINGTON, W OF BETTY JO The next item on the agenda was a large scale development for Catfish Hole #2 presented by Albert Skiles on behalf of Pat & Janie Gazzola for property located on the south side of Wedington Drive, west of Betty Jo Drive. The property is zoned C-1, Neighborhood Commercial, and C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, and contains 2 acres. RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS Mr. Evans advised he would service the site with the existing gas meters and requested a 20 foot utility easement on the south side of Huntsville Road. FLOYD CANTRELL - OZARKS ELECTRIC Mr. Cantrell requested the same easement as Mr Evans and requested the dedicated utility easement along the east property line be designated on the plat. ANDY CALLOWAY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL Mr. Calloway requested the same easement as Mr. Evans and also requested 2 inch conduit be placed from Huntsville Road to the building - adding he recommended servicing the building from the exterior. L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE Mr. Ferguson requested conduit from Huntsville Road to the building. PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DIVISION Superintendent Franklin had no comment. Mr. Bunn confirmed the distance between curb cuts was satisfactory. There was a discussion regarding the possibility of improving circulation. Ms. Little determined utilizing only one wider drive or designating two drives ingress and egress respectively would be preferable to the drives as platted. MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT Chief Jackson recommended the developer consider sprinkling the • • • Plat Review Committee January 27, 1994 Page 8 building - adding it was not required. He advised that a hydrant would be required if there was not an existing hydrant 500 feet road travel distance from the further most point of the building. DARRELL RITCHEY - U.S. POSTAL SERVICE Mr. Ritchey had no comment. DON BUNN - ENGINEERING DIVISION Mr. Bunn advised 10 feet of additional right-of-way was required on Huntsville Road. He recommended Mr. Skiles contact the State Highway Department concerning drainage along Wedington Drive - adding drainage to the rear of the site would sheetflow to the south. Mr. Bunn advised the existing water meters needed to be located and if determined unusable, new water meters would be required. TIM CONKLIN -PLANNING OFFICE Mr. Conklin commented the developer had more parking spaces then required and recommended use of 7 and 1/2' by 15' compact spaces to increase greenspace on the site. He advised a 5 foot landscape buffer was required on the east, west and south sides of the development due to surrounding A-1, Agricultural, zoning. Mr. Conklin confirmed bumper guards would be placed in the parking lot - adding no off-street parking area shall be located within five feet of any other property in an A or R zone. Mr. Skiles remarked he would be able to accommodate the required landscape buffer because the length of the building was going to be reduced by 10 feet. Mr. Conklin advised a 15 foot landscape buffer was required between the property line and Wedington Drive. He stated protective fencing had to be placed around existing trees which were to be saved. Mr. Conklin requested the vicinity map be more detailed, and also stated a five foot wide sidewalk - placed at the edge of the right-of-way was required along Wedington Drive. In response to a question from Mr. Skiles, Ms. Little stated she would prefer the sidewalk be constructed at the time of development but would accept a Bill of Assurance. • Plat Review Committee January 27, 1994 Page 9 PRELIMINARY PLAT - STONE BRIDGE PHASE II MELVIN HOLMES - W SIDE OF STONE BRIDGE, N OF HUNTSVILLE The next item on the agenda was a preliminary plat for Stone Bridge Subdivision Phase II presented by David Jorgensen, Jorgensen & Associates, on behalf of Melvin Holmes for property located on the west side of Stone Bridge, north of Huntsville Road. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains 3.93 acres with 10 lots. RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS Mr. Evans requested at least 20 feet of the 25 foot building setback on lot 1 be designated a utility easement. Mr. Jorgensen remarked the 25 foot building setback on all lots was also designated a utility easement. Mr. Evans requested a 4 inch crossing from lot 2 to lot 10 and advised all other easements were fine. • FLOYD CANTRELL - OZARKS ELECTRIC Mr. Cantrell advised the easements were fine. ANDY CALLOWAY - SOUTHWESTERN BELL Mr. Calloway requested the same easements and crossings as Mr. Evans. L.O. FERGUSON - WARNER CABLE Mr. Ferguson advised he would serve the site overhead. PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DIVISION Mr. Franklin requested no surnames be used as street names. RANDY ALLEN - STREET DEPARTMENT Mr. Allen advised Mr. Jorgensen to watch the drain tile sizing - remarking the tile under Stonebridge Road was probably 18 inch. He confirmed improvements to Stonebridge Road were required for the entire frontage - including the frontage of the existing house.

The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains 24.74 acres with 68 proposed lots. RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS Mr. Evans requested a crossing across the entrance at Mission Boulevard between lots 1 and 41, a crossing across the entrance at Old Wire Road between lots 19 and 20, and a crossing at the north end of Jordan Drive between lots 29 and 30. He advised he would probably serve lots encroaching in the floodway from the front - adding he would serve lot 62 from behind from an existing gasline. Mr. Evans requested the drainage easement extending from lots 35 to 41 be placed on the eastern side of the easement - explaining if the drainage were placed on the west side, the utility lines would have to come under the drainage.

RANDY ALLEN - STREET DIVISION In response to a question from Superintendent Allen, Mr. Milholland stated he did not realize a sidewalk was required along Old Wire Road - adding lots 20 through 24 would have double sidewalks. Ms. Little pointed out sidewalks were designated on the interior lots for the west side of the subdivision, therefore, lots 20 through 24 would not have double sidewalks. She commented the staff would probably reconuuend a Bill of Assurance for the sidewalk along Old Wire Road rather than a waiver. • Mr. Allen confirmed the islands would be maintained by the Property Owner's Association. • In answer to a question Mr. Milholland remarked easement along the east creek. He commented he the remaining drainage. from Mr. Allen pertaining to drainage, there was a 25 foot drainage and utility property line to carry water to the had not complete a detailed design for MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT Mr. Jackson had no comment.

In response to a question from Mr. Bunn pertaining to improvements to the intersection of Mission Boulevard and County Road N. 75, Mr. Milholland remarked he planned to place a power pole at the subject location and create a 90% turn - commenting he had not yet obtained an easement from property owner Lora Elizabeth Loge. Mr. Bunn advised improvements to one half of County Road No. 349 were required. Mr. Milholland explained no improvements to the subject road were planned due to the large trees along the east property line - adding he didn't mind contributing right-of-way but wanted to preserve the trees. Ms. Little confirmed that the western half of the road would be city property and the eastern half would be county property. Mr. Bunn advised Mr. Milholland to bring the issue to the Plat Review Committee January 27, 1994 Page 15 attention of the Planning Commission and stated a Bill of Assurance on improvements to County Road No. 349 might be possible if improvements were required. He commented 25 feet of right-of-way, not 30, was required. Mr. Conklin requested a Tree Preservation Plan.

SIDE OF GREGG, N OF NORTH ST The next item on the agenda was a large scale development for Gregg Street Apartments presented by Dennis Becker on behalf of Steve Cummings for property located on the west side of Gregg Avenue, north of North Street. The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential, and contains 1.80 acres. RICK EVANS - ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS Mr. Evans advised there was an existing line along Gregg Street and stated he would prefer to service the rear building along the south property line. He asked if the south property line would be a major drainage point for the site - adding he could service the building from the north side if that were the case. Mr. Becker remarked he would probably designate an utility easement surrounding the building. In response to a question from Mr. Evans regarding fill on the west side of the west building, Mr. Becker remarked the west building might be dropped - remarking there were heavy site problems. He explained the large scale development had been approved in 1989 for 44 units. Mr. Evans requested if the west building were kept that enough room on the backside of the building be created for the utility companies to provide service. JOHN HILL - SWEPCO Mr. Hill advised he would service the site from the northeast side and requested a 4 inch crossing from the parking area extending from the utility easement and also requested a 4 inch crossing beneath the sidewalk - remarking there was an existing pole by the driveway.
