She reviewed the parking as follows: the parking space on the row south of the Plaza Four which backed into the traffic lane needed to be removed; the last spaces in each row of five facing the entry drive off Township needed to be removed.; the last space in the row of six facing the entry drive off of Villa also needed to be removed; the row of 33 spaces in parcel three actually contained 28 spaces. She advised they needed to add a parking table so the staff could calculate parking. She added 5' sidewalks would be required along Township, College and Villa (the sidewalk along Villa could be next to the curb). She stated Plat page 290 needed to be added to the title block. She added all public roads needed to be diminsioned from the center line. She asked Mr. Carter to check the ownership and the zoning of the adjacent properties. She noted the landscaping on the frontage needed to be shown on the plat and all internal landscaping needed to be submitted on a separate drawing. She stated street improvements would be required and asked if they had completed a traffic study. Mr. Carter replied he did not know if they had completed the study. Ms. Little stated they would have to go through the process again if they were not ready to build within a year. She added Nelms was lagging behind in the process and they would have to be moved before DWC could begin construction Mr. Beavers stated the parking would change because the right-of-way on Township was 50' not 35' and added improvements to the sheet would be required. Mr. Beavers suggested to Mr. Carter that he find out about the traffic study and the time line of the project before he proceeded any further. He added he did not think the water lines were shown correctly. Mr. Carter stated he was showing all the information he could find from the water department; a 6" water line and an abandoned 20" line. Ms. Little thought there was water and sewer lines from parcel three which were lot 5 of Sundridge. • Mr. Carter stated there were water and sewer lines in a northeast corner which extended all the • • • Plat Review September 3,1996 Page 4 way down to the entrance on Villa. He questioned Sundridge Drive connecting to College. Ms. Little stated the entry they were proposing from Villa to College was going to be a dangerous traffic situation and something would have to be done to correct the problem. Mr. Beavers questioned if this was one of the things that held it up last time. Ms. Little stated the Villa / College intersection had been a right exit only. She added they were going to furnish the City with a traffic study. She stated the traffic study would be a requirement and, until it was done, the staff was not willing to process the project. \9: • • • Plat Review September 3,1996 Page 5 LSD96-31.00: LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT FOR SUNBRIDGE CENTER DICK KEATING-E OF GREGG ST. & N OF SUNBRIDGE The next item on the agenda was a large scale development submitted by Dick Keating for property located east of Gregg Street and north of Sunbridge. The property is zoned C-1, Neighborhood Commercial, and contains approximately 2 35 acres. Ms. Little stated a street light would be required at one of the entrances on the west side of the development. She commented, when Petromark was approved their entrance on the north side was to be put on the property line so it could be a shared entry. Mr. Carter stated Petromark had placed the entry eight to ten -foot from the property line. Ms. Little stated it should not too difficult to condemn the eight feet, because it had been a condition of their large scale approval and it would not alievate the requirement for the entrance to be a shared. Mr. Carter stated they had clearly marked the area. Ms. Little stated there would be a street light requirement on Gregg at the entrance. Mr. Beavers thought the north entrance was to close to the Lakeside entry. Ms. Little stated there could be another entrance more central, if they could work out the shared entry with Petromark. Mr. Jackson stated they would need a fire hydrant on the southwest entrance off of Gregg Street. Ms. Little clarified on the north side of the south entrance. Mr. Jackson stated the road travel distance was too great from the existing hydrants on Sunbridge and Keystone. Mr. Franklin stated there needed to be a minimum of 18' for a car to back out and stay on the pavement and according to the parking table, there was not adequate space for backing out. Ms. Little reviewed staff comments: there needed to be a 5' sidewalk along Gregg and Keystone Crossing and it needed to be set back; Solid waste requested an increase in the turning radius at the dumpster pad location stating the street width did not allow for safe collection; Plat page 289 needed to be added. There would be additional right-of-way of 50' on Gregg Street; Joint entry with Petromark was a requirement, which would leave him with other ingress and egress on • • • Plat Review September 3,1996 Page 6 Gregg; There needed to be a chart for parking by use; more utility easements needed to be shown on the plat; Improvements to Gregg Street would be required. Mr. Carter asked for the specifics on the street improvements. Mr. Beavers stated Gregg was a stated highway and he would have to consult with them on the improvements. He also commented they might be required to run a water line connecting the lines between Keystone and Gregg and suggested they consider extending a main across the property. Mr. Carter stated there was water across Gregg. Mr. Beavers stated he was going to have to bore underneath the highway for a fire hydrant. Ms. Little stated there would need to be additional review. Mr. Burrack, SWEPCO, stated there were single phase and three phase underground going across north side that turned and the three phase went down Keystone to the property line between Petromark and the proposed development and to the west there was a three phase transformer for Petromark. He understood that Doug Hemingway was working on the split of the property and the property line was going to be very close to the transformers. He advised that, if there was any possibility of getting service for the retail out of the three phase ,this would be the place to go for it. He noted easements on the north side were as stated. There was an easement on Keystone, but he did not know the actual width of it, but it was on the original Sunbridge plat. He also advised there was a 10' easement on the Petromark side. He asked Mr. Carter to show it as an off site easement and requested an additional 10' on their property on the north side of the property line all the way across. Mr. Carter added he thought there was a 25' setback along Keystone. Kevin Lelfar, TCA Cable, stated if any of the businesses wanted cable they would need a conduit placed and to get with him later to discuss location. Mr. Evans, Arkansas Western Gas, stated he would need the same easements as SWEPCO. He added, if the parking lot was built before some of the restaurants or retail stores, he would need some casings underneath the north driveway. Ms. Little stated he needed to update the vicinity map to show Lakeside. She stated the project needed a lot of work to stay in the process. • Plat Review September 3,1996 Page 7 LSD96-32.00: LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT FOR PROCTOR & GAMBLE CROMWELL AND ASSOCIATES -S.

Mr. Kelly stated the owners were willing to relocate and they were in the process of presenting it to Proctor and Gamble, but it was taking some time to review. Ms. Little stated the location was important because of the services related to the project. Mr. Kelly thought it would be approved but he did not know when. He added the building footprint had not changed the location of the building was the only change. Ms. Little question what would be in the open space. • Mr. Kelly stated it would be lawn like the existing building. • Ms. Little stated she would like to see a provision for cross access to lot 17 and added because of the grade to the east, they would not ask for access there. Mr. Franklin stated there were existing street lights and they would not need any others. In response to a question from Ms. Little, Mr. Jackson stated two more hydrants would be needed; one at the rear entrance off Plainview and one at the east entrance off Millsap placed at the entry drives. He questioned the use of the buildings. Mr. Kelly stated it would be used as office space similar to the existing building. Ms. Little stated the 160 parking spaces shown were allowable. Mr. Beavers stated water, sewer, and grading would be subject to final design. Mr. Burrack, SWEPCO, stated there were overhead existing lines behind the existing building that dipped down on the corner and back to the south. He advised they could connect any place but the developer would be obligated to provide a conduit and transformer pad. He stated it would be a large enough loads that they would want to get secondary conductors close. He asked to have the electrical engineer or electrician to get with them as soon as possible to work out • Plat Review September 3,1996 Page 8 location. He stated there had been a lot of reworking and rerouting on the piece the southeast corner. He noted there was a large drainage area and thought it would be hard to get across it, but they would have to select a spot to get across. He stated they had to relocate some lines going to the north to clear some of the drainage area. Mr. Kelly asked about the current transformer. Mr. Burrack responded it serviced the exiting building but did not think they could get back through the drainage. Mr. Lelfar stated if they were wanted cable they would need conduits brought out to the same area. Mr. Evans, Arkansas Western Gas, stated they had a line along the south and the east side and they could service off the east or the south line. He asked for the contractor to get with him. Ms. Little reminded Mr. Kelly to have his public notification prepared. She questioned if he had begun with the exterior design and added anything he had would be useful. She thought there • was a 60' right-of-way dedication off Millsap.

Mr. Beavers stated a private sewer line would not be allowed to connect to a public sewer line because private service could not cross property lines.

He advised he understood the land would have to be dedicated but they prefered not to do so at this time so they would not have to vacate it at a later time. Mr. Beavers stated that Dave Jergens could not maintain the line without the easement. Ms. Little stated that SWEPCO would like to wait until the site work was complete and permit power was available for the street lights. Mr. Burrack stated they had paid the up -front charges. They had been a proposed plat on lot 3 that showed another drive and he was not sure where the other lights would be located and it would be easier to wait until they knew where the permanent drives were going to be located. Ms. Little commented they were going to construct the street entering the subdivision, to city standards so that if there were other subdivisions they could be taken over. She stated that, since it was a city street there would be sidewalk requirements along the streets. Mr. Ray stated they would like to construct the sidewalks at large scale or have it done before it was dedicated to the city. 155 • • • Plat Review September 3,1996 Page 10 Ms. Little said she would defer it to the Large scale process.
