Proposed & Existing Street Rights -of -Way and Easements: Center Street is classified as a
collector in this location requiring a total of 70 feet of right-of-way 35 feet from centerline. The
existing curb cut along Center Street is not standard as it exists.
Mr. Alexander explained that, for the applicant to dedicate 35 feet of right-of-way from the
centerline of Center Street, would cause the right-of-way to encroach into the house.
Ms Little advised the Planning Commission and City Council could approve a lesser dedication
of right-of-way.
Site Specific Information. must know the number of bedrooms in the apartment building in order
to determine parking requirements.
Mr. Alexander advised there were 2 bedrooms planned in the proposed building and the existing
structure contained 5 bedrooms. He noted there were currently 11 parking spaces.
Other requirements: Variance approved by Board of Adjustments 9/15/97. See attached minutes
from Board of Adjustments meeting for details of variance request. There is an error in the legal
description for Parcel No. 1.

Ms. Little advised lot splits could be approved at the Subdivision Committee level; however,
since the applicant would be asking for a waiver on the width of the right-of-way on Center
Street, the project would need to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the waiver
request would also be forwarded to the City Council.
Mr. Alexander and Mr. Keller advised they would discuss the matter and decide exactly what
they wanted to do prior to the Subdivision Committee meeting.

Subdivision of Land: Split subject to no additional curb cut.
Other requirements: No additional signage or curb cuts. Access ramps required at corner of Mall
and Joyce.
Mr. Rickett asked if the curb cuts could be discussed at the time of the large scale. He noted he
was sure the client would like an additional curb cut but he did not currently know the location of
the proposed curb cut.
Ms. Little advised the Planning Commission could make the determination regarding any
additional curb cuts. She explained the condition was listed in order to enable free flow on Joyce
Street. She suggested a shared access to the property to the west and noted that could be
considered at large scale.
Ms. Thomas stated any new utilities would need to be placed underground but that could be
discussed at the large scale stage.
Fire- Mickey Jackson -575-8364

Preliminary Drainage: It is understood that drainage will not be altered by this lot split and that
the drainage requirements for parcel 2 will go through the City's formal design requirements at
the time of development of parcel 2.
Street -Preliminary:
Comments: Mr. Beavers advised he had submitted a list of items never received for the Spring
Park Subdivision and those items would need to be received prior to the plat going forward to
Subdivision Committee.
He stated he would met with Mr. Rickett and Mr. Davis to determine the location where the
water line became private.
In response to a question from Mr. Rickett, Mr. Beaver stated he was not sure of the location of
the private water easement but believed it was at the northwest corner of the existing building.
He further advised they would need to file an easement plat or final plat showing all of the
easements. He noted the City had not received a copy of all of the easements from the previous
development.

SWEPCO- Dennis Burrack-973-2308
Mr. Burrack advised there were facilities in place. He asked the developer contact SWEPCO
when they knew the use of the property. He also noted it might be impossible to place the
services underground since the land was solid rock.
TCA Cable- Kevin Leflar- 521-7730
Mr. Leflar had requested, by letter, the same easements and crossings as SWEPCO and
Southwestern Bell.
Arkansas Western Gas- Rick Evans- 521-1141
Mr. Evans advised he also would have a difficult time placing service underground. He stated
the current gas line was located with the water line. He asked that the existing 25 -foot easement
be shown on the plat. He pointed out the location he believed contained the lines.
Ms. Warrick advised the lot split could be approved administratively as soon as the revisions
were made.

from centerline) - this affects tracts B and C.
Subdivision of Land:
Site Specific Information:
Other requirements: Any new utilities shall be located underground.
Mr. Jones noted the abstract showed West Street as a private street.
Ms. Little stated all city records showed West Street to be public. She further noted the City
maintained the street and it was curbed and guttered.
Mr. Jones noted 25 feet from the centerline would take the street to the back of the curb.
Ms. Little stated he could meet the Master Street Plan requirement with the sidewalk being on
the developer's property rather than city right-of-way or dedicate additional land for the
sidewalk.
Mr. Rutherford advised the requirement for West Street was a 6 -foot sidewalk with a 6 -foot
greenspace.
Mr. Jones asked if the sidewalk could be placed at the back of the utility easement, making a 4 -
foot greenspace with a 6 -foot sidewalk.
Mr. Rutherford stated that would need to be worked out with the Planning Commission; he did
not have the authority to accept less than that required by ordinance.
Ms. Little asked if he was proposing to make the utility easement public.
Mr. Jones stated they would consider dedicating the easement; he would have an answer for staff
by the Subdivision Committee.
Ms. Warrick noted the dedication of the right-of-way along West Street did affect Tract C, which
was owned by a different person.
Mr. Jones stated he was in contact with that person and something could be worked out. He
asked if the sidewalk would have to be constructed at the time of the lot split or if it was a part of
the large scale development.
Ms. Warrick stated that, since Tract C was still vacant, the sidewalk would be required on that
• tract when it developed.

elevation? If a pole sign is planned, the plat must reflect both the elevation and the location of
the pole sign. Any new utilities shall be located underground.
Commercial Design Standards Review: Both 15th and West are considered "fronts" for this
project- additional landscaping (4 additional trees) is required along West Street; Trash enclosure
is not located on this plat -screening on 3 sides required; Utility/Mech. Equipment is not located
on the plat- these must be screened (if roof mounted, must be completely screened from the
public view); No shared or cross access is proposed.
•
Mr. Jones noted the east elevation would be screened by the existing Laundromat. He also asked
if 55 feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Fifteenth Street was really necessary.
Ms. Warrick advised they could request a waiver from the Planning Commission and City
Council.
Mr. Jones stated they could make 55 feet work.
Ms. Warrick also noted they needed to tell the City what they had done with the facade to meet
the Commercial Design Standards.

Mr. Srygley explained the front facade had been substantially changed from the normal Dollar
General Store; columns had been added; brick had been placed over the metal; the canopy was
drivet rather than metal; and the shutters had also been added (and could be added to the other
side).

Comments:
• After discussion, it was determined a hydrant could be placed at the northeast corner of the

Chief Jackson also suggested that, when Tract C developed, they check with the Salvation Army
regarding sharing the cost.
Engineering- Jim Beavers- 444-3418
General: All designs are subject to the City's latest design criteria (water, sewer, streets and
drainage). Review for plat approval is not approval of public improvements and all
improvements are subject to further review at the time construction plans are submitted.
Water -Preliminary: 1. There is an 8 -inch line in 15th Street. The Salvation Army plans include a
new 8 -inch line along West Avenue. Timing is unknown. 2. Fire protection to meet the Fire
Chief's request.
Sewer -Preliminary:
Preliminary Grading and Drainage: Do not agree with grading so that the increased runoff goes
onto the property owners' to the southeast. It appears that a swale along the entire length of the
parent tract should be provided. If not, then a detention pond for the increased flow will be
required. Additional drainage calculations in the form required by our ordinance and criteria
manual are required for review prior to the subdivision committee meeting.
Street -Preliminary: Clarify the private vs. public aspect of West Avenue. Our records, from the
Salvation Army LSD, indicate a public street.

Mr. Jones explained the property drained naturally to the southeast corner and they were showing
the flow would continue in that direction. He pointed out their drainage would flow into
Salvation Street.
Mr. Beavers agreed but explained the timing on Salvation Street was unknown.
Mr. Jones pointed areas were they could place detention if required by the City.
Mr. Beavers requested more information on drainage to the south.
Mr. Jones agreed to provide more detail on the drainage. He further advised there were currently
no plans to develop Tract C; however, should it develop prior to the Salvation Army tract, the
owners of Tract C would be responsible for extending the water main. He pointed out it was not
needed for the Dollar General Store.

SWEPCO- Dennis Burrack-973-2308
Mr. Burrack advised they had single phase on West Street and two-phase on 15th Street. He
stated there were a number of ground -mounted utilities setting at the northwest corner of Tract A
which should be noted on the plat. He further stated that area could be very close to the
landscapping area.
Ms. Sandeen stated the landscapping area would be further back. She also recommended small
trees on 15th Street due to overhead utility lines.
Mr. Burrack advised everything would be underground from the existing overhead facilities and
the developer would need to provide conduit and transformer pads. He further noted the
easement could be worked out with a contract between SWEPCO and the property owner.
TCA Cable- Kevin Leflar- 521-7730
Mr. Leflar had requested the same easements and conduit has requested by SWEPCO and
Southwestern Bell. He also noted they would need 2 -inch PVC if cable was desired.
Arkansas Western Gas- Rick Evans- 521-1141
Mr. Evans stated the Gas Company also had a line on the south side of 15th Street. He requested
a 15 -foot easement (for future use) adjacent to the right-of-way.

Ms. Little advised the easement should not conflict with the landscaping.
It was determined the easement could be placed under the parking spaces so there would be no
conflict.
Mr. Evans stated they would serve the building from the northwest corner. He also noted there
was an existing line on the west side of West Street.
In response to a question from Mr. Conklin, Mr. Jones stated he would revise the rendering to
