Bill Kisor seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The first item for discussion was the PARNELL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY approval of a large scale development Large Scale Development plan for an apartment complex located north `Duncan & Buchanan of West Sixth Street, between South Duncan and Buchanan Streets, Parnell Construction Company, developer. Clint Clement was present to represent. Bobbie Jones explained that there was a question about the ownership of the property between Highway 62 right-of-way and the south line of this survey which needs to be cleared`up. She said it could be deeded to the City for public street purposes. At least -40 feet of additional right-of-way is needed on Highway 62. She noted that Duncan is shown as an 80 feet right-of-way, arterial street on the Master Street Plan. 40 feet right-of-way needs to be dedicated from the centerline of the existing right- of-way. Bobbie Jones noted that it would be necessary for the Planning Commission to waive the safety zone on the southmost driveway which is 30 feet from the intersection instead of 50 feet. She also said they will need to process a lot split on the property. Keith Newhouse made a motion to approve the large scale development with the following contingencies: 1) the dedication for the right-of-way of Highway 62 and Duncan be given; 2) install curb and gutter along the west perimeter of Buchanan; 3) the legal description be brought into agreement with the drawing and 4) waive the location of the southern driveway from the intersection. Bill Kisor seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Next was a written request from Donald H. Taylor REQUEST TO REHEAR asking that Mathias Subdivision preliminary plat MATHIAS SUBDIVISON be put back on the agenda. If the Subdivision Preliminary Plat Committee agrees to rehear this, it would be heard on September 12. Donald Taylor,: Sam Mathias, and Charles Presley were present to represent. Mr. Taylor said he was told by the Planning Commission to see how the people in the neighborhood feel and presented the following letter stating how they feel about the through street: THE UNDERSIGNED ARE RESIDENTS OF BRIARWOOD LANE, SHERIDAN, PEEL, AND OVER - CREST STREET NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF OVERCREST AND BRIARWOOD. WE REQUEST THAT BRIARWOOD LANE NOT BE EXTENDED TO TOWNSHIP ROAD AS A THRU STREET AND THAT THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN BE FOLLOWED. WE GIVE THE FOLLOWING REASONS FOR THIS REQUEST. 115 • Subdivision Committee Meeting September 12, 1977 -2- 1. TWO REASONS GIVEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR MAKING BRIARWOOD LANE A THRU STREET ARE (A) AN ALTERNATE AND SAFER ACCESS TO TOWNSHIP ROAD IS NEEDED OTHER THAN THE INTERSECTION OF JUNEWAY AND TOWNSHIP (B) AN ALTERNATE ACCESS IS NEEDED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES, SUCH AS FIRETRUCKS. WE THINK THE EXTENSION OF fl ec re%biy a TO TOWNSHIP ROAD AS A THRU STREET WOULD MEET THESE ABOVE STATED NEEDS MORE EFFICIENTLY. 2. THE AREA MENTIONED ABOVE IS A SETTLED NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SMALL CHILDREN. THE PEOPLE WITH THESE TYPES OF FAMILIES CHOOSE THIS AREA, IN PART, BECAUSE BRIARWOOD IS A DEAD-END STREET. IF BRIARWOOD IS MADE A THRU STREET, AN UNSAFE CONDITION WILL EXIST WHEN A BETTER ALTERNATE ROUTE FOR A THRU STREET CAN BE USED TO SATISFY THE NEEDS O THE PLANNING MISSION. Ct; • \�.

Bk Amgt L 2,31H„ Mr. Taylor felt they could use Mockingbird as a through street instead of Briarwood. Larry Wood said Mockingbird could not be extended through and he had not checked on Hummingbird. Keith Newhouse agreed with Planning Consultant Larry Wood that Briarwood is a good, flat place for a through street to come in for access and sight distance in both directions. Mr. Taylor said from the corner of Juneway Terrace to where you can first see a car coming west, it is slightly less than 1/10 of a mile. Keith Newhouse said he had gone out and looked at the place where it would intersect and he feels it is a good place for access. Bill Kisor felt that if you don't put in through streets just because the neighbors object, you would never have any through streets in Fayetteville. He said he would stay with Planning Consultant Larry Wood's recommendation. Larry Wood said he would not change his recommendation. Keith Newhouse made a motion that they not recommend a rehearing. Bill Kisor seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Subdivision Committee Meeting September 12, 1977 Next was an amendment to the large scale WAL-MART PROPERTY development plan of Wal-Mart property Amendment to Large Scale located on Highway 62 West, east of Development Plan Highway 71 Bypass. Gerald Oney was present to represent the developer. Mr. Oney said they had sent a letter stating they would comply with the parking requirements. He said the Pizza Hut and Mr. Burger is all they are contemplating at this time. They will comply with the parking requirements when they develop the rest of the plan. Mr. Jacks said they are being asked to approve two additional structures to the original large scale development plan. Administrative Assistant David McWethy said when the original development plan was approved, Wal-Mart agreed to pave a portion of Sang from Old Farmington Road to Highway 62. He said they would like to see a note on the plat that this portion of Sang from Old Farmington Road to the highway will be built at the developer's expense. Bobbie Jones said she has not checked the dimension but it appears to fall where Mr. Burger is shown to be built. Mr. Oney said he would check this. Mr. Oney said they would like to have an entry onto the property from Sang since they will have to pave it anyway. Bill Kisor made a motion that they approve this amendment to the large scale development plan with the two additions and a stipulation that there be a note on the plat that they will pave Sang from Old Farmington Road to Highway 62 at the developer's expense when Mr. Burger is built. Bobbie Jones noted that they have changed the driveways. She said they are showing several common internal drives for First National Bank. She said if the Subdivision Committee approves this plan, they will leave it to them to work out the internal driveways. Mr. Oney said they will work with them for joint driveways. Keith Newhouse asked how many exits they will have on Highway 62 and Bobbie Jones said there are three now and there will be four with the bank. Mr. Jacks said they could approve the two additions and asked that they come back in later showing the street and the additional parking required. He asked that they show on the revision the streets and accesses to Mr. Burger. Keith Newhouse said the parking will need to be adequate. Keith Newhouse made a motion toapprove this amendment to the large scale devleopment plan with two new businesses and 1) they have adequate parking spaces and 2) when the building on the east (Mr. Burger) is put in, Sang will be paved. Bill Kisor seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 P. M. • 15�
