Subdivision Committee Action:
Mr. Grey, project engineer, stated they had proposed 70,000 square feet of warehouse space.
They would have 2,000 to 10,000 square feet available. They would be accessible by semi -
trucks.
Ms. Little stated he had moved several of the buildings out of the flood plain. Only the front
building would be in the flood plain.
In response to a question form Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Grey stated they would clean the area up.
Mr. Reynolds asked about the existing road.
Ms. Little stated the road was not on their property. It was owned by someone else. It was not a
city road. The developer had an access agreement with the other property owner allowing them
to use the road for access. The City was not going to require improvements to the road because
the road was blocked to the west.
Mr. Grey stated they would improve the road to the west approximately 200 feet. He added they
were proposing a security fence.
Mr. Reynolds believed this would be a good improvement for the area. Adding the site had been
•

used as a dump for years. He asked if he had spoken with the Fire Marshal about the location of
fire hydrants noting the fire department had to haul water during the last fire at that location.
Ms Little stated Mr. Jackson had requested there be a covenant in the lease agreement
prohibiting any type of hazardous materials from being stored in the facility. He cautioned if
there was not a covenants prohibiting hazardous materials then the buildings needed to be
sprinkled.
Mr. Reynolds stated they would need the covenants, stating what could be stored in the
buildings.
Mr. Grey noted there were three hydrants shown on the plat.
Ms. Little stated Mr. Jackson had commented that the hydrant locations met the minimum
requirements.
Mr. Reynolds urged Mr. Grey to add an additional fire hydrant.
Mr. Beaver requested that Mr. Grey consult with Mr. Jackson on the placement of the fire
hydrant.
Ms. Little asked them to move two dumpster pads out of the flood plain. FEMA had asked them
to keep debris from floating into channels in times of flooding. She also asked them to move one
building out of the flood plain, adding it would make a large difference in their insurance.
Mr. Grey stated they would be able to take it out of the flood plain by letter. The lowest
building would be four feet above the 100 year flood plain.
Ms. Little stated the they could move the sidewalk into the right-of-way. There needed to be a
way to get from the sidewalk to the bridge. She added the bridge did not have adequate guard
rails. Guard rails would need to be extended behind the sidewalk.
Mr. Forney stated guard rails would need to be added because of the narrow bridge.
Ms. Little questioned the proposed nght-of-way dedication of 35 feet from centerline.
Mr. Grey explained they would be dedicating 35 feet from the centerline by warranty deed.
He added with the street widening the sidewalk would need to taper back into the bridge.

Ms. Little stated the City would ask the developer to add the guard rails to bridge when they
constructed the sidewalks.
Mr. Grey stated they were going to do improvements to Garland Avenue on the west side.
Ms. Little stated Engineering Department was willing to take money in lieu of the street
construction. The sidewalks would be still be constructed.
Mr. Grey commented 6 inches of the sidewalk would be on the developer's property and not in
the nght-of-way.
Ms. Little stated the City would be willing to take any additional right-of-way needed to
accommodate the sidewalk. She added they needed to clarify if the developer was going to
construct the street or provide money in lieu.
Mr. Beavers stated they could do either. If the developer was going to construct the street the
City would try and fine money to finish it to the south.
Mr. Grey stated the developer preferred to build the street because it would make a nicer
entrance. They would also be able to backfill and complete the landscaping.
Ms. Little added an additional condition. The large scale development and approval would be
valid for one year only. If there was not substantial construction within one year the City would
look at the development again.
Mr. Grey thought the dumpsters could be lettered out of the flood plain.
Ms. Little suggested they be at least 2 feet above the flood plain.
PUBLIC COMMENT
There was no public comment.
Mr. Forney asked if there would be any likely hood of expanding the private street.
Ms. Little stated there would be a creek crossing to the north, which would be expensive. The
road was not located on the developers property. The developer was favoring the City by not
creating another curbcut. She thought if the other property was ever to develop there would be
an opportunity to ask for improvements.
Mr. Reynolds did not believe this street would ever connect with 15th Street.

Ms. Johnson asked if there would ever be access in the future to the west.
Mr. Forney did not believe there was anything planned.
Ms. Little stated the street was private and the developer had a cross access agreement with the
other property owner. If the city was choosing to change that and wanted a provision for access
to the west then they should ask for 25 feet of right-of-way off the developer's south property
line. They normally took half from both property owners.
Mr. Reynolds commented there was a creek to the north and a rail road to the west. He did not
believe it would be beneficial to have the street.
Ms. Little stated they were proposing to use the existing vegetation for screening.
Ms. Sandeen stated that the screening must be installed before a Certificate of Occupancy would
be issued for any of the facilities, however, a temporary C of 0 could be issued for up to 90 days
MOTION
Mr. Forney moved forward the item to the Planning commission to give them more time to look
at the street connections.
Ms. Johnson seconded the motion.
The motion carried unanimously.

LSD97-6.00: Large Scale Development (Meadow Brooks Apartments, pp 520) was
submitted by Grafton, Tull & Associates, Inc. on behalf of Jim Lindsey for property located
north of Old Farmington Road and west of Razorback Road The property is zoned R-2,
Medium Density Residential, and contains 13.27 acres.
Findings: The issues of slope stability and downstream sewer capacity have been looked at
closely by Engineering and will continue to be discussed as final plans are prepared and
reviewed. Parks fees was another issue which has now been resolved.
Recommendation: Consideration of this project based on staff findings. If the Subdivision
Committee chooses to approve this project, staff recommends the following conditions of
approval:
Conditions of Approval
1. Plat Review and Subdivision comments (to include written staff comments mailed to the
applicant or his representative, and all comments from utility representatives)
All improvements shall comply with City's current requirements.
3. Staff approval of final detailed plans, specifications and calculations (where applicable)
for grading, drainage, water, sewer, fire protection, streets (public and private), sidewalks,
parking lot(s) and tree preservation. The information submitted for the plat review
process was reviewed for general concept only. All public improvements are subject to
additional review and approval
4. Payment of parks fees in the amount of $28,800.00 (120 units @ $240.00) in lieu of park
land dedication per City Council decision 4/15/97.

Subdivision Committee Action:
Mr. Jerry Kelso, Crafton, Tull and Associates, presented the plan which had been shown at the
City Council Meeting for the waiver of park land for money in lieu. At the City Council
Meeting, Mr. Linsley had stated any disturbed areas would be sodded. All the cut slopes would
be heavily planted with dense pines. The rest of the area would be fenced off for tree
preservation during construction.
Ms. Little stated the development proposed 120 units, which required a mandatory park land
dedication. The City Council had ruled for a $28, 800 contribution to help develop parks in this
part of town in lieu of land dedication. There were issues concerning slope stability and down
stream sewer capacity, which the engineering division had been working on. She stated the
normal street improvement requirement was for the developer to improve one-half of the area
along their site to meet street current standards. Sang Street began to steepen after the entry of
this development. The developer had offered to improve 100% of Sang Street to their entrance,
in -lieu of half a street along the entire length of their property. The City would normally ask for
right-of-way, but the street was not along their property. Stone Street was currently a curbed
and guttered street It also ended prior to the end of the project. They were going to use the
current street to access the last building #3. The staff had asked for dedication of right-of-way,
25 feet, to the west. They had decided not to ask for money, only right-of-way.
Mr. Rutherford commented on the Sang Street entrance the sidewalk ended at the south side of
the entrance. He asked if there would ever be a chance for the area to be improved Normally
the City asked the sidewalks to run from property line to property line. If it was not ask for at
this time, he would like to see the sidewalk continue through the dnveway part, so at the time it
was connected to it was complete.
Mr. Reynolds stated he would like to see the sidewalk continue through the driveway and
continue to the end of the property.
Mr. Beavers added the improvements to Sang Street may mean reconstruction of the entire street
and not just the widening of the shoulders.
Ms. Little added curb and gutter and drainage on both sides. She asked about the grade on the
private drive coming down into the public street.
• Mr. Kelso stated the grade was approximately 12%, which was similar to the existing grade on
Sang Street currently.

Ms. Little stated the City did not have a standard for a private street for coming to a flat before it
entered on to a public street. She suggested if the entrance was brought more with the contours
then it could flatten before intersecting with Sang Street. She expressed concern about people
exiting the parking lot if they were in a slide situation would not be able to stop before coming
into a public street.
Mr. Kelso explained they had placed the entrance there because of the direct access to Main. If
they were to move the entrance then it would cause the drive to be very steep.
Ms. Johnson added people needed to be able to stop.
Mr. Kelso stated they would do the best they could to flatten out at the entrance, without making
the rest of the drive too steep.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mr. Lynn Schaper, alderman, expressed concern about the project because to the amount of
cutting and filling. He noted the City Council was working on a new ordinance as a result of
Marvin Gardens and other developments. He thought the existing ordinance 161.02 B "the
development shall conform to the natural contours of the land, natural drainage ways, and other
existing site conditions " He did not see how cutting and filling 80% of the site could be in
agreement with the ordinance or in agreement with the intent of the ordinance, which was to
control excessive grading, clearing, filling and cutting. He knew they had met all the engineering
requirements in terms of 1:3 slopes. This was a massive cut and fill operation. He was not
opposed to the proposed density or number of units, but the amount of cutting and filling to
accommodate the 120 unites.
Mr. Kelso felt they were going with the contours. If they had laid the building out different then
they would have to do more cutting and filling.
Mr. Schaper 80% of the site being cut and filled was massive. It would destroy 13 acres of the
hillside. He thought it would be possible to develop this more sympathetically with the existing
environment.
Mr. Fomey asked why the entry was pushed back.
Mr. Kelso stated they had to get a 3:1 slope along the buildings. If they were to push the whole
thing back then they could not obtain the 3:1 slope.
Mr. Forney commented if they did not change the existing grade then they could do that.
Mr. Kelso replied in order to get the balance between the buildings it would have to be filled.
• Subdivision Meeting
April 17, 1997
Page 9
Mr. Kelso stated they had placed each row of buildings along the contours. In order to do that
they had to have separations in order to get their 3:1 slopes to the buildings. If they were tighter
in they could not do that.
Mr. Forney asked if they could brake the units within the building to work with the slopes. It
was a table top layout The design was not as responsive to the slopes as it could be.
Mr. Schaper stated it was basically 175 feet shelf being carved out of the hillside in order to
accommodate this style of development, which was unsuitable for this hillside. He added they
did not do this type of development in California where dense hillside developments were
common. The believe the ordinance required the commissioners to deny the item as it was
drawn because it did not conform to the natural contours of the land and drainage ways. He did
not expect the engineers to agree, but it was up to the Planning Commission to interpret the
ordinance, which was to control excessive grading, cutting, filling. He suggested there were
alternate ways of doing this development which would result with far less grading and cutting
and still achieving the same density.
Mr. William Combs, an area resident, questioned where Sang Street would be extended if it were
to develop beyond Main Street.
Mr. Kelso stated he did not know what the plans were north of Sang Street. They would improve
the street to the project's entrance, which was where Main Street come in. They would construct
curb and gutter and install new storm drainage in. He had no control over the improvements
north of that. They did not own that land.
Ms Little stated the existing 30 feet right-of-way line did go to their property line. They would
receive detailed plans on that later.
Mr. Albertson, an area resident, stated his access was on a private drive. He stated an access
easement had been dedicated to him in 1974 to get to his property. He had used the access for 25
years. He confirmed people often slid off the road during the snow and ice. He thought people
would be sliding off the proposed entrance of the development.
Mr. Forney commented the grading was hard to read because the regrading was not shown. It
was only showing the regrading of the overall area, they were not seeing the actual grade on the
road.
• Mr. Kelso stated the actual grade on the road would be almost flat, like a regular street.
Mr. Beavers stated there was no right-of-way along Main Street, but there was a waterline

easement.
Ms. Little added area residents had private rights to use the easement. There was right-of-way to
the north.
Mr. Alberston expressed his concern about access to lus property as well as the increased traffic
on Sang Street during the mornings and after school. He did not believe Main Street could
handle the extra traffic. He expressed concern for the kids at Ramey School.
Mr. Jackie Rich, an area resident. questioned where the proposed buildings would be in relation
to his home.
Mr. Kelso showed him.
Ms. Little requested proof of notification.
Mr. Kelso stated they given the notifications to the City to mail out. It had been his
understanding they were to give the adjoining property owners addresses to the city.
Ms. Little explained on large scale development they developer was to publish the notice in the
paper or send a certified letter. The staff did some notification in addition.
Mr. Kelso did not know if they had done that.
Ms. Little stated they would check to see if notification had been done, because this was to
controversial of an Item to act on today.
Mr. Reynolds stated if the public notice had not been done the Subdivision Committee would
table the item and it would have to come back to Subdivision, they could not forward until there
had been public notification.
Ms. Johnson requested an additional vicinity map to study possible street connections. She felt
they needed to be cautious, because there were no connection between Sang Street and Hwy 71.
She felt there could be connections sometime in the future
Mr. Beavers asked where National large scale development fit into the area.
Mr. Kelso stated National was one property away.
Mr. Beavers did not believe Stone Street could go west because National had it blocked.
•
Subdivision Meeting
April 17, 1997
Page 11
Ms. Little commented National had not been built and the large scale was over one year old.
Which meant it would be looked at again.
Mr. Reynolds asked if National were to come back to them if they would be able to get a
connection to Stone Street.
Ms Little added Ramey School had opposed the connection from 6th Street to Stone Street
believing the buses would experience additional traffic on the street, however, they did not know
this development was going in.
Mr. Reynolds asked about the long lane west of Ramey that went to a farm.
Ms Little stated the City had right-of-way which was going to be used to connect into Stone
Street. The School had recently built a building in that area.
Mr. Forney agreed with Ms. Johnson and asked for a better vicinity map.
Ms Johnson stated they needed to look at the National's file to see how the two would fit
together and if they had required a one year condition.
Ms. Little stated they had been notifying developers to contact the planning department to let the
City know what their plans were.
Mr. Schaper noted no signs were posted on the property.
Ms. Little replied no signs were required for large scales or subdivisions.
Mr. Schaper asked how the run off would be carried away from the adjoin property. He did not
see any why to divert the run off.
Mr. Reynolds agreed with Mr. Schaper and requested a plan illustrating the proposed drainage
and all other questionable items shown.
Ms. Johnson stated they would need the drainage plan to illustrate the tunoff and swale.
Mr. Rutherford requested the sidewalk to be shown to the property line.
Ms. Little stated the developer did not own the property, but in lieu of constructing the street they
had agreed to construct 100% of the street to the entry. They were expecting the sidewalk to
extend in the street right-of-way.

Ms Johnson clarified there would be a sidewalk along the entire eastern most boundary of the
rectangle. Including both sides of Sang, beyond Main only one side. and the entire length along
Stone Street.
Mr. Forney asked if there would be any retaining walls.
Mr. Kelso stated there would not be, they were going to use 3:1 slopes.
In response to a question from Mr. Schaper, Mr. Beavers stated the project met the engineering
requirements.
Ms. Little informed Mr. Kelso he could have notified adjacent property owners by certified mail
or notice in the paper.
Ms. Warrick added he could have the adjoining property owners sign off on a plat.
MOTION
- Ms. Johnson moved to forward the item to the Planning Commission on the condition that the
public notice had been given and the developer providing the requested information.
Mr. Forney seconded the motion.
The motion carried unanimously.

LSD97-1.00: Large Scale Development (Panels by Mikey, pp 642) was submitted by Audy
Lack of Hiegel -Miller Architects on behalf of Panels by Mikey, Inc. for property located east of
City Lake Road and south of Pump Station Road. The property is zoned I-1 (Heavy Commercial
/ Light Industrial) and 1-2 (General Industrial) and contains approximately 2.0 acres.
Findings: This project is located on the parcel of land which had been requested to be split
from the U.S. Post Office site (this lot split has not been approved at this time). The proposed
use is manufacturing of steel building panels.
Recommendation: Consideration of this project based on staff findings. If the Subdivision
Committee chooses to approve this project, staff recommends the following conditions of
approval:
Conditions of Approval
1. Plat Review and Subdivision comments (to include written staff comments mailed to the
applicant or his representative, and all comments from utility representatives)
2. All Improvements shall comply with City's current requirements.
3. Staff approval of final detailed plans, specifications and calculations (where applicable)
for grading, drainage, water, sewer, fire protection, streets (public and private), sidewalks,
parking lot(s) and tree preservation. The information submitted for the plat review
process was reviewed for general concept only. All public improvements are subject to
additional review and approval.
4. Sidewalk construction in accordance with current standards to include a minimum 6'
sidewalk with a minimum 10' greenspace along City Lake Road.
5. Submittal of an easement plat for this project prior to the issuance of any building
permits.
Subdivision Committee Action:
Ms. Little stated the developers had eliminated a curbcut near the south property line. They now
have one driveway into the property which was located two-thirds of the way to the north. They
also had the elevation which was required under the Commercial Design Standards because of
the office space.

In response to a question from Ms. Little, Mr. Audy Lack. representative, stated they were going
to construct both phases at one time.
Ms. Little stated they did not have any out standing issues at this time. The only problem was
from the lots split for the Post Office. One of the conditions for the lot split for the Post Office
was the construction of a sidewalk. The City did not know where the Post Office was on the
construction of the sidewalk. She did not see any reason to delay the developer on that
condition. She added that if the large scale approval was granted that it be effective for one year.
Mr. Forney asked if the old curb cut would be filled in or left.
Mr. Lack replied they had no plans to change it.
Ms. Little stated they had not discussed it in detail. They had requested that they not use it as a
drive on the previous plat. They had removed the drive. She added the drive was more of an
apron.
Mr. Forney stated he preferred the developer to repair the edge of the street rather than leave it
- ragged.
• Mr. Lack replied it was a continuous asphalt surface.
Mr. Rutherford added it would need to meet the 10 feet greenspace.
Ms. Little clanfied there needed to be 10 feet of space between the edge of the pavement and the
beginning of the sidewalk.
Mr. Reynolds asked why they were accepting SB2 in a parking area.
Ms. Little replied the graveled area would be the storage area for their product. It was not
technically a parking area. She asked if all of the parking spaces were paved.
Mr. Lack responded all of the parking spaces were paved. The dumpster pads and recycling pads
were concrete.
Ms. Little clarified the drive for the trucks was paved to the loading docks and the storage area
was gravel. She added this would be a dust producer. There were adjoining industrial neighbors.
Mr. Reynolds noted there were also residential neighbors across the road.
Mr. Lack stated the traffic on the storage area would be minimal. It was an area for the storage
•

of material and product. There might be a lift to pick materials. It would not be used as a
commercial parking lot.
Ms. Johnson asked what material had been used for Rideout's storage area. She expressed
concern about this storage area becoming a dust problem like Rideout.
Mr. Beavers stated he had received a drainage report from Garber and Garber, the drainage plan
was adequate as a preliminary, but they had some work to do for a final.
Ms. Little stated they would need to know the landowner or proposed landowner, so they would
know who's signature to look for.
Mr. Lack replied it had been his understanding and his clients understanding that the Chamber
would get the site ready. They were to make sure all the easements were in.
Ms. Little advised him to be very careful in the coordination of that the City had requested an
easement during the lot split that had not occurred. There was not power lines crossing the street
in two locations rather than one. If they had provided the easement that had been requested they
- could have serviced both lots with one crossing.
Mr. Lack replied, it had been his understanding there was adequate service to the property.
Ms. Little replied the existing service to the house did not extend to the property. It went north.
Mr. Burrack, SWEPCO, had told her he would have to cross the street again. She noted it was
not Mr. Lack's fault, but she wanted to make sure what he got what he was asking.
Mr. Reynolds asked if the legals were correct.
Ms. Little replied the legals looked good.
Mr. Beavers asked if the lot existed.
Ms. Little replied as a condition of the lot split, the Post Office had to build the sidewalks. She
was looking for the sidewalks. She had not see the sidewalk. She suggested reiteratmg to the
Chamber that the sidewalks were effecting their development.
Mr. Lack stated they had spoken with them and had stressed that to them. It had been difficult to
do that until they were at a point they were being held up.
• Ms. Little stated they were being held up.

Mr. Beavers asked if the Chamber was going to do the dirt work.
Mr. Lack stated it still had to be worked out in the purchase agreement as far as who was to do
what in getting the lot ready. The basic understanding was that the utilities would be present.
Mr. Beavers informed the Chamber had to go through the normal review process.
Mr. Reynolds asked if the Chamber was going to provide water and sewer to them.
Ms. Johnson questioned the gravel storage area.
Ms. Little stated the storage was for the storage of materials used to fabricate. The fabncation
would take place in the plant and would be loaded onto the truck. She asked if there would be
finished inventory on site.
Mr. Lack replied he did not know if there would be finished inventory on site, but he would find
out.
Ms Little thought it would help them understand the business better.
Mr. Lack stated they had a plant in Little Rock, where they built entire wall panels that could be
taken to a site. They locked together to fabncate a building. The size of the panels ranged from
building to building.
Ms. Johnson thought the Planning Commission needed to see the ordinance Justifying the
storage area not being paved. She suggested the condition of it not being paved would be the
limited use the area would have.
Ms. Little commented they had asked them staff about the storage area early on. They had
explained as long as it was storage area it would not have to be paved If they were going to
create a dust problem then it would have to be paved
In response to a question from Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Lack stated he had not planned to buffer for
noise.
Mr Reynolds thought there should be some type of buffer between the development and the
residence to the north.
Ms. Little explained by buffer they meant earth and berm or vegetative planting. She added they
had required screening m A-1 zoning areas when the area was used as a residence, the screening
would be consistent with what they had done in the past. If the land was plain A-1 then they
•
•
Subdivision Meeting
April 17, 1997
Page 17
would not require screening, but if there was a house there then they would require screening
Mr. Lack questioned how they would protect all of the surrounding area from noise from this
industrial area.
Ms Johnson thought the Foster's residence could be far enough away that they would not be
affected by the noise.
Ms. Little asked Mr. Lack to furnish adjoining features such as curbcuts and adjacent residences
and the distance.
Mr. Lack believed at that distance would not be affective.
Mr. Reynolds noted the noise from the industrial park echoed against the mountain.
MOTION
Mr. Forney moved to forward the item to the Planning Commission with staff comments for
- resolution of the lot split contingence and surface of paving area, buffenng and screening, and
curb cut. He added they would not see it at the Planning commission level until the issue of the
sidewalk had been resolved.
Ms Johnson seconded the motion.
