Landscape Administrator- Beth Sandeen-575-8308
Other Landscaping Requirements: Seven islands with trees will be required in the parking lot
together with landscaping along the front of the property.
Sidewalk and Trails Coordinator- Chuck Rutherford -575-8291
Sidewalks. Millsap Road is a collector street which requires a minimum 6 -foot sidewalk with a
minimum 10 -foot greenspace. The sidewalk shall be continuous through the driveways. The
sidewalks shall be built to city standards. Inspection is required prior to the concrete pour. The
plans need to reflect the sidewalks will be continuous through the driveways. The plans also
need to reflect the dimensions of the greenspace and the sidewalk.
Mr. Collins asked if the 10 feet of greenspace included the sidewalk.
Ms. Little explained the sidewalk could be at the edge of the right-of-way and then there needed
to be at least 10 feet of greenspace.

Planning -Dawn Warrick -575-8267
Plat Information: Add plat page 212 to title block; show layout of adjoining property within 300
feet including lot lines and curb cuts; label right-of-way from centerline; legal description
(written) does not match calls on plat, need chord length and bearing on curve, one call is
missing a direction; add legend to site plan.
Proposed & Existing Street Rights -of -Way and Easements: Dedication of 5 feet of right-of-way
"easement" is required - additional dedication may be necessary to place sidewalk on public
property and to remove liability from property owner. Maximum curb cut is 24 feet or may have
one 46 -foot cut (12 -foot entry, 10 -foot landscaped island, and two 12 -foot exits); cross access
should be provided.
In response to a question from Ms. Little, Mr. Collins stated the frontage for the lot was
approximately 300 feet. He asked if the staff wanted the cross access on the west side.
Ms. Little suggested moving the westernmost curb cut to the property line which would allow
shared access with the property to the west. It was noted the property to the east was already
developed.
Other requirements: Need to know the number of employees and the number of seats/customers
in order to determine allowable number of parking spaces. Interior landscaping is required per
City ordinance. Elevation of proposed pole sign is required. Written description of need for
excess parking is necessary prior to Subdivision Committee Meeting. Any new utilities shall be
located underground. Note: Front building setback may be reduced to 25 feet by relocating
parking to sides and rear only and adding additional landscaping along front property line.
There was discussion regarding the colored elevations with Ms. Little recommending signage on
that portion of the building facing Highway 71. She advised the sign ordinance allowed a pole
sign to be a maximum of 30 feet high, 75 square feet in size, set back 40 feet from the right-of-
way. She pointed out that, without signage, the rear of the building would need a fake arch,
windows, etc. since it was fronting on Highway 71. She advised would do further review of the
elevations and give the applicant comments in writing.
Mr. Collins noted they typically had concrete curb cuts and asked if the City wanted that changed
to asphalt with the sidewalk going through as concrete.

Mr. Rutherford advised the approach to the sidewalk and the sidewalk needed to be Portland
cement.
Ms. Warrick noted the parking ordinance was difficult to apply to restaurants. She advised staff
needed to know the number of employees and the amount of seating for customers. She
explained the ratio was 1 parking space per four customers and 1 parking space per employee.
Mr. Collins stated there were 30 - 35 employees per shift and the seating was planned at 261.
Ms. Warrick pointed out that would allow 96-101 parking spaces. She explained the applicant
would need to request, in writing, a waiver to the parking ordinance to present to the Planning
Commission.
Ms. Little explained the applicant would need to provide data as to why they believed a waiver
was necessary.
Ms. Warrick noted the parking lot would need to be revised to show the required landscaping.
Mr. Collins advised that, in order to get a decent grade, they needed the greenspace on the west
side of the property between the curb and the property line. He stated he believed it would make
more sense to put the drive to the property line rather than try to put a curb cut at the present
grade.
Ms. Warrick pointed out the curb cut on the east side of the property appeared to be close to the
property line. She advised the city had an ordinance requiring a 25 -foot separation between curb
cuts.
Mr. Collins stated he believed there was 20 feet from the curb cut to the property line and, once
the curb cut went down to 24 feet in width, there would probably be at least 25 feet between the
cut and the property line.
Ms. Warrick also noted the utilities would need to be located underground.
Mr. Collins agreed they would be underground.
Ms. Warrick also advised that, while the standard setback for the property was 50 feet, they could
move the building forward to 25 feet with landscaping. She pointed out the parking could then
be placed to the sides and rear of the building. She noted staff would support a reduction in the
setback.
• Commercial Design Standards: Fifteen feet of landscaping must be exclusive of right-of-way (if

right-of-way changes, this needs to be reflected); site coverage calculations are needed. All
mechanical/utility equipment must be located and completely screened - including roof mounted
utilities. Cross and or shared access needs to be provided.
Mr. Collins asked if the trees along the front of the property could be clustered rather than
placing one tree every 30 feet.
Ms. Warrick stated the Planning Commission would need to approve the plan.
Ms. Little pointed out the same requirements would apply to the north side of the property since
it fronted Highway 71 and was considered a front.
Mr. Beavers cautioned the applicant to keep the landscaping off the sewer easement.
One of the applicant's representatives asked for an explanation regarding the parking ordinance.
Ms. Little explained that, in order to keep from having "seas of asphalt", parking spaces were
limited. She went on to say they worked to minimize pavement when not necessary. She also
explained there needed to be a minimum of 15% of open space on the site.
The representative advised he believed the 150 requested spaces would be a big issue to the
applicant.
Ms. Warrick pointed out there was an adjacent parking lot for a "day time business" which could
be used for overflow parking at night. She noted that happened at other restaurants in the area.

UTILITIES
SWEPCO- Dennis Burrack-973-2308
Mr. Burrack advised there was an existing utility easement coming onto the property from
Millsap with two existing 4 -inch conduits going to a"dip" pole to the south of the subject tract.
He explained that, when the subdivision was planned, the developer intended that each set of
conduit would serve two lots with the transformers being on the property line between the two
lots. He suggested they turn the existing pipes and run them to the west property line which
would be the location of the transformer. He informed the applicant there were no lines adjacent
to Highway 71. He stated the SWEPCO policy was the contractor would install conduit and the

transformer pad to their specifications at a location designated by SWEPCO. He further advised
it would be a 3-phase transformer. He suggested the placement of the transformer be
immediately to the west property line, straight from the north end of the restaurant. He noted
they could "C.T." the power and meter at the transformer. He stated there would need to be a
disconnect on the exterior of the building. He asked that the applicant contact SWEPCO when it
was time to pour the pad and they would provide conduit for the adjacent property.
Mr. Collins asked if they would need to rededicate an easement for the new transformer.
Mr. Burrack explained that, as long as only SWEPCO was in the easement, it would not need to
be rededicated; but, if other utilities would be using the easement, the applicant would need to re-
dedicate it as a general utility easement.
Ozark Electric Cooperatives- Mike Phipps- 521-2900
No Comment.
Arkansas Western Gas- Rick Evans- 521-1141
Mr. Evans stated the location of the proposed gas line was fine and the meter would set on the
north property line.
SW Bell- Andy Calloway -442-3170
Mr. Calloway pointed out his requested location for the telephone conduit. He asked the total
number of lines they planned.
Mr. Collins stated he believed there would be 4 lines and 1 data line.
The meeting adjourned at 9:50 a.m.
