Members Present: Ernest Jacks, Helen Edmiston, Al Hughes. Others Present: David McWethy, Bobbie Jones. The Subdivision Committee reviewed items scheduled to be heard by the Fayetteville Planning Commission in its afternoon meeting on October 9. The first item was a request by Warren West for Subdivision Waivers WARREN WEST (Lot Splits). This had been referred to the Planning Commission Subdivision Waivers by Planning Administrator, Bobbie Jones, because of her concern (Lot Splits) for street rights-of-way in this area. The Committee had reviewed it previously when it had been scheduled on an earlier Planning Commission meeting that a request for deferral had been submitted by Richard Hipp, Attorney. The'Committee did not feel it necessary to review this again since no conditions had changed on the request. The Committee looked at the Preliminary Plat of the Rosewood Estates ROSEWOOD ESTATES submitted by David and Carolyn Rose. Points for consideration were: Preliminary Plat Clayton Powell should be satisfied on drainage; Larry Wood of the Regional Planning Commission had some comments about access to other properties; and there had been a call from the property owner on the northwest corner asking that this not be approved yet. The Committeelooked at arproposal submitted by Ozark Windows an office on to the northwest corner of their building.

Al Hughes stated that he thought the plat should include all these things before it goes to the Planning Commission. Mr. Jacks agreed with him that all the details should be worked out in advance. It was noted that the plat also does not contain any reference to sidewalks and that this should be added to the plat. The Committee felt that action on this subdivision should be deferred until all these matters were corrected. The Committeelooked at the proposed plans for revision to the Large Scale Development Plan for the Medical Building to be located at North and College submitted by Sam Robinson, Jr. The Committee noted thatwarianceszan'd certain parking requirements had been granted by the Board of Adjustment. Bobbie Jones pointed out that the right-of-way dedication requested by Street Superintendent, Clayton Powell, is less than called for on the Major Street Plan. This is the same amount of right-of-way called for on the previous Large Scale Development Plan for this property already approved and was not at that time sufficient to meet the Major Street Plan. The Committee said that apparently the Planning Commission did approve right-of-way acquisitions less than the Major Street Plan indicates and there is now some controversy and this matter should be clarified because this is not the total requirement for the Major Street Plan. MEDICAL BUILDING Sam Robinson, Jr. LSD Plan The Orthopedic Clinic had submitted a Large Scale Development Plan ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC to allow an expansion of their building at North College and Sycamore. LSD Plan 1-54 • • • 10-9-73 -2- They-proposed to add a second story to their existing building and remove a portion of the old church building in the back. The only problem left unsolved is that of right-of-way. The Board of Adjustment has granted variances to permit the second story to be added to the building. The Mayor Street Plan calls for a 60 foot right-of-way for Sycamore Street, there is presently 40 feet existing. Also, a street improvement district for the improvement of Sycamore Street has construction ready to begin and the additional right- of-way should be obtained now. Clayton Powell, Street Superintendent, has asked that the developers consult with the City Attorney to determine the needed amount of right- of-way and the turn radius on the intersection to complete the street improvement district. A request for subdivision waiver had been submitted by O.K. Holland and Jim Fitzgerald for some property on Finger Road. Bobbie Jones told the Committee -- that the property is zoned A-1 and it requires 200 feet of FINGER ROAD PROPERTY frontage and 2 acres minimum lot size „therefore, she can not O.K. Holland and grant a waiver on this parcel of property as_long:as_it,is zoned. Jim Fitzgerald A-1. It would, however, meet the zoning requirements for the Subdivision Waiver R-1 District. The Committee felt that this property should be rezoned rather than take it to the Planning Commission for a waiver of subdivision re- quirements. The meeting was adjourned at 11:20 A.M.
