Dow advised that it will have to be squared away and shown on the plat. Don Bunn advised that the easement needs to be granted on a separate instrument and Mel Millholland, the engineer, can do that for them. Dow noted that John Merrell had commented that he will not recommend any of the waivers that they are asking for including 1)sidewalks on Highway 16 waivered, 2) reduction in required parking temporarily and 3) hard surfacing on the parking lot requirement to be extended for 12 months. Dow stated that the Planning Commission can accept a Bill of Assurance on the sidewalk but the Board of Directors has to waive it. She advised that the ordinance requires a durable and dust -free surface on the parking lot. G'7 • • Subdivision Committee December 7, 1988 Page 3 Robertson stated that if they approve this subject to Plat Review comments, it would be up to the full Planning Commission to decide whether or not they will accept a Bill of Assurance. He noted that the Planning Commission might accept a Bill of Assurance where they would agree to install the sidewalks at the call of the City. He stated that the other two waivers would need to be brought up before the full Planning Commission. MOTION Robertson moved to approve the Large Scale Development Plan subject to Plat Review comments with no recommendation on the three waivers that are requested, seconded by Dow. The motion to approve passed 2-0-0. LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HARP'S FOOD STORE NEWTON BAILEY - W OF GARLAND, N OF WEDINGTON DR The fourth item of consideration is the Large Scale Development Plan for Harp's Food Store represented by Newton Hailey with Bill Browner & Al Pennington also present. Property located west of Garland, north of Wedington Drive and zoned C- 2, Thoroughfare Commercial and containing 3.44 acres more or less. Newton Hailey, Architect, advised that "IGA" should.. be omitted from the name because Harp's has no association with IGA any longer. He clarified also that technically Harp's does not own the property, it is a multi long year lease. He stated that they will get the easements that are needed from the present property owner who has agreed to that. Dow asked if they had proof of notification to the adjoining property owners. Mr. Hailey stated that they had been mailed but they haven't received the return receipts back yet. He added that they have talked over the phone to all of the adjacent owners. Dow stated that Mickey Jackson had stated that they would need a hydrant somewhere in front of the store and another hydrant within 100' of the fire department substation. Mr. Hailey advised that the word "substation" is referring to the siamese "connection" that is the sprinkler. He added that they will get with Mr. Jackson and work out whatever he needs. Dow referred to the comment that Don Bunn had made at Plat Review about the fact that the driveway might need to be moved farther south because of the 40' requirement from an intersection in the ordinance. Mr. Hailey stated that the Highway Department has said they don't care what they do there although they have recommended that the radius be enlarged a little bit. He noted that they looked at omitting that, but it is the best drive to bring the truck traffic through to service the building and keep the trucks out of the main parking lot in front. He added that they will be happy to move it when Don Bunn tells them where to measure the 40' from. Bunn stated that he needs to go out and look at it but it does need to go farther south. GS • • • Subdivision Committee December 7, 1988 Page 4 Dow noted that Perry Franklin had made an interesting comment that some research has been done on just extending James Street on down to Garland which would eliminate this intersection. Bunn advised that there hasn't been much research put into that except figuring a cost in response to the College Park development. He added that he didn't think the traffic so far as been enough to warrant doing that. Dow stated that Mr. Franklin has also noted that they need an "entrance only" sign at the entrance behind Mcllroy Bank. Mr. Hailey stated that there is an entrance sign there now for the bank, he stated that they will work with the Bank on that. Mr. Hailey stated that they intend to go ahead and install a manhole in James Street and then come up onto the property and install another manhole and give it to the City in a dedicated easement for the water line. Dow noted John Merrell's suggestion that they have landscaping and curbing for a better layout on the parking lot. Mr. Hailey stated that once they determine what the Arkansas Highway Department will allow them to do they will look at it. Bunn stated that the City doesn't have any real control over that, but you can look at Fiesta Square and see where it is a real problem. Dow stated that Evelyn Hills didn't have it and now they are going to the trouble of putting it in. Dow asked if they have agreed to the additional 5' right-of-way dedication off of James Street. Mr. Hailey answered, yes. Dow advised that they need to submit drainage plans to Don Bunn. Mr. Hailey stated that as the Plat Review minutes indicate, they will give a 25' utility easement along Garland. NOTION Robertson moved to approve the Large Scale Development Plan as submitted subject to Plat Review comments with the following changes: 1)"IGA" eliminated from the name, 2) "fire department substation" be changed to "fire department connection", 3) Harp's do not own the property, they are leasing it, and with the condition that the north entrance will be moved south to a point to be determined by Don Bunn, City Engineer, seconded by Dow. The motion passed 2-0-0. Don Bunn advised that in some previous meetings he had given the indication that the Large Scale Development Plats are filed at the courthouse, but they are not. Therefore, it is not enough just to show a dedication on the plat; dedications have to be given to the City by a separate instrument that is filed at the courthouse. q9 P` Subdivision Committee August 3, 1988 Page 2 Nash noted that the number of lots has been changed from 14 to 12 preliminary came through.
