Fire - Mickey Jackson -575-8364
Fire Hydrant Spacing: An additional hydrant is needed between Lots 15 and 16 to meet maximum
spacing requirements.

General Street Design:
Comments:
Engineering- Jim Beavers -444-3418
Water -Preliminary: The 8 -inch line on Amber and the 6 -inch loop on Cypress is acceptable;
minimum easement (or combination of right-of-way and easement) widths shall be 20 feet. The
water line is shown against the easement and, if the setback is left at 12V2 feet, the line would
have to be shifted.
Sewer -Preliminary: The layout shown is not approved. In the previous versions of the proposed
subdivision, comments were made that backyard sewer mains were not approved by the City due
to the EPA requirement of City's ability to access and maintain each manhole and line.
Clarification/revision required to sewers on Lots 22-25, 26-28, 41/42. How are lots 9-14 to
access sewer. Lot 33 needs a 10 -foot easement beyond the manhole. Minimum easement widths
(or combination of easements and right-of-way) shall be 20 feet and wider for sewer lines over
10 feet in depth and must allow for trenching at a 1:1 slope within the easements. The layout as
shown does not accommodate this, especially at lots 33 and 34. Sewer lines will not be allowed
in detention ponds. The existing line cannot be vacated until the new line is in service.
Preliminary Grading: Revised grading plan required to show how proposed streets will work
with the topography.
Preliminary Drainage: Revised drainage report required to show how proposed streets will work
with topography.
Street -Preliminary: Verify that Amber if public and Cypress is private. The design of Amber
does not meet the City's Street Standards. Curves C1 and C2 are both too close together and too
sharp (radius is too small). Refer to Section 3-1 of the Street Standards. Minimum horizontal
curve radius (residential) is 150 feet. The minimum tangent separation of 100 feet. Curves C1
and C2 must be changed. Is there a sight distance problem at the west intersection of Cypress
and Amber?
• Comments: Full report required by Monday, January 27, 1997 The revised drainage report is
required to show how the drainage sub -basins will work with the revised street layout and should

include street grades, probable inlet locations and sizes, possible changes in detention pond sizes,
additional swales along the south and the effects of the 10- and 100 -year storms.
Mr. House explained they had placed the curves in order to slow down the traffic.
UTILITIES
SWEPCO - Dennis Burrack-973-2308
Mr. Burrack requested the easements and crossings: a 10 -foot easement between lots 5 and 6; a
quad crossing from lot 1 to lot 51; a 20 -foot easement from 39 to 40 and 41(to be 5 -foot taken off
lot 43 and the balance to be taken off lots 39, 40 and 41); a 10 -foot easement next to lot 34; a 20 -
foot easement from lots 26 to 27, 28, and 29. He also noted they would be placing their
equipment on the easement adjacent to the walking trail. After discussion, it was determined the
street light on lot 34 would be moved to the island and could be served with a sleeve.
Ozark Electric Cooperatives - Mike Phipps -521-2900
• SW Bell - Andy Calloway -442-3170
TCA Cable - Kevin Lefler -521-7730
Mr. Lefler requested the same easements and crossings as requested by SWEPCO.
Arkansas Western Gas - Rick Evans -521-1141
Mr. Evans stated he would work with the developer on the equipment adjacent to the walking
trails.
Mr. Beavers stated he had taken it for granted that the one-way street was a private street.
Mr. House stated it was a public street. He explained it would have 35 feet of right-of-way with
18 feet of paving so parking could be on one side.
Mr. Beavers stated the radius might need to be increased for emergency vehicles.
Chief Jackson advised he believed the radius would be adequate for fire emergency equipment.
Mr. Beavers advised all of the ponds would need to be shown with drainage easements and they
• could not be counted as greenspace.

Ms. Little requested a plat showing the areas which were going to be counted as greenspace and
each of those areas labeled.
Mr. Beavers noted there would need to be a 12 -foot paved road between Pond No. 2 and Pond
No. 3 so the City could get in to clean out the ponds from time to time and mow the area.
The meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m.
