Chairman Newhouse asked what was decided about Pump Station Road Mrs. Jones said Street Superintendent Clayton Powell had advised her that he didn't think any additional right-of-way was neededat the intersection as discussed in the Plat Review Committee Meeting. Mr. Powell also said thereLwas 45 ft. from the street intersection to the driveway, so the driveway safety zone is adequate. Chairman Newhouse asked about the tanks being screened. Mr. Wallis said the "bottles" will be kept in the building, the smaller tanks will be in a fenced area behind the storage, the large, bulk tanks will not be screened. Chairman Newhouse asked if the small tanks would be in constant movement. Mr. Wallis said they would and these tanks have advertisment on them. Chairman Newhouse asked if they had talked to Mr. Powell on the cost of improving Pump Station Road. Mrs. Jones said no. She wasn't sure it was adequately covered in the Plat Review minutes, but Mr. Powell said that in the past in selling a lot in the Industrial Park, the cost of any proposed improvements has been included in the sales price of the land. Mr. Wallis said the realtor said it was included in the price. Mr. Chapman pointed out that they added a 25 ft. easement for the telephone along the South property line. Mr. Kisor asked where the paved parking area came to. Mr. Chapman said it came to the fence line. Mr. Kisor asked if it took care of the trash pad. Mr. Chapman said it did. Mrs. Jones pointed out they will be using cans, instead, of a container. Mr. Kisor moved for approval of the large scale development plan for Amtane, Inc. with the stipulation that it does need to be verified that the cost of the following improvements was included in the price of the land: (1) sewer main extension; (2) water main extension, if any; and (3) contribution towards widening (improving) of Pump Station Road. Mr. Hailey seconded it, which passed 4-0. • • • Subdivision Committee Meeting November 26, 1979 Page 2 The next item for discussion was the GOLD KIST, INC. approval of the large scale development Large Scale Development plan for Gold Kist, Inc. to be located 1140 Beechwood Ave. North of Fifteenth Street and East of Beechwood Avenue; Gold Kist, Ihc., Developer. Zoned I-2, General Industrial District. Present to represent were Bob Cochran, Karl Weiss, and Al Coltrane.. Mr. Cochran stated they would like to put several facilities on the property eventually, but they are reluctant. He said they had already given SO ft. of ease- ments down the East side of this property; and if they have to give up much more property on that side it is going to preclude them using the property. Mrs. Jones pointed out the requested 40 ft. of right-of-way for Razorback Road will come out of the 50 ft. already given as utility easements. Mr. Kisor asked if it will be a City street. Mr. Cbchran told him it was a State highway. Mrs. Jones said it is on the City's Master Street Plan. She said Mr. Grimes' recommendation was for an 80 ft. total right-of-way, with utilities in there to remain as long as they are outside the curb line. She pointed out the easements are private easements purchased by the respective utility companies and they are already existing. Mr. Kisor asked what utilities were already in there. Mrs. Jones said gas, electricity, and water were already there. She stated Mr. Grimes and Mr. Powell recommended a 40 ft. right-of-way off the East side of this property subject to the existing utility easements, for the Master Street Plan for Razorback Road. Mr. Cochran said the utility companies were reluctant to give up the easements that are already there. Mrs. Crocker pointed out it will be an 80 ft. total right- of-way eventually. She said the City is interested in getting the right-of-way through from Highway 62 to Fifteenth Street for Razorback Road. Mrs. Jones explained that a 59 ft. pavement would be constructed for Razorback Road within an 80 ft. right-of-way and they may try to get a little more than 40 ft. from Campbell Soup. Mr. Cochran stated if the 40 ft. were coming out of the existing 50 ft. there wouldn't be any problem. Mrs. Jones explained that City Manager Grimes and Street Superintendent Powell have recommended that the developer widen and im- prove to full City standards, including a sidewalk, Beechwood by locating the center- line of the right-of-way and improving to a width of 15'6" East of that centerline. The 15'6" of pavement for Beechwood includes the curb and gutter. Mr. Cochran ob- jected to this requirement and stated that they question the validity for them to build all of that. He said they weren't going to add to the traffic. Mrs. Crocker said it depends on whether traffic is coming from Fifteenth Street or Razorback Road. Mr.. Cochran submitted a letter outlining Gold Kist's objections. Mr..Kisor asked if they had any cost estimations for construction on Beechwood. Mr. Coltrane said they were talking around $25,000. Mr. Hailey said this was a good chance to upgrade the road. Mr. Cochran pointed out that out of the 39 acres they have 2.9 acres in easements and were asked for an additional 1.5, which is 10% of the property. Mr. Weiss said they have been asked for a 25 ft. utility easement along Beechwood, 15 ft. on the North side of the property, and 15 ft. on the South side of the property. Mr. Kisor pointed out the easements don't hurt them because they can't build where the easements will be because of the setback requirements. Mr. Kisor moved to recommend approval to the Planning Commission with these 4 contingencies: 1. No sidewalk be required on Fifteenth Street. 2. Improvements on Beechwood as asked for by Clayton Powell at the Plat Review on November 8, 1979. 3. Telephone easements as called for at Plat Review on November 8, 1979. • • Subdivision Committee Meeting November 26, 1979 Page 3 4.
