Andy Calloway, Mike Phipps, and Ron Bertram STAFF PRESENT: Alett Little, Jim Beavers, Chuck Rutherford, Beth Sandeen, Dawn Warrick and Heather Woodruff. PLA 97-25.00 PROPERTY LINE ADJUSTMENT (SHELBY ROGERS) SHELBY ROGERS- 204 W. MEADOW STREET The property line adjustment was submitted by Alan Reid of Alan Reid and Associates on behalf of Shelby Rogers for property located at 204 West Meadow Street. The property is zoned R -O, Residential Office. The existing tracts contain approximately 0.26 acres and 0.20 acres. The proposed tracts will contain approximately 0.31 acres and 0.15 acres. Comments from the following were presented: UTILITY SWEPCO-Ron Bertram- 521-1800 Mr. Bertram stated there were existing facilities to service the lots. Ms. Warrick stated the newly created lot was 6,500 square feet, which met the minimum square footage requirements for a two family dwelling unit in R-3 zoning district. The surveyor would need to verify the number of units in the existing structure. Ms. Little added both lots would have to meet the minimum square footage. Arkansas Western Gas- Rick Evans -521-1141 Mr. Evans stated there was an existing line between lots 6 and 7 along the original lot line which ran along the north side of the property then turned to the east along the south side of lot 7. He would need a 15' easement along the original lot line where the existing line was loated and a 15' easement along the north side of lot 7. SW Bell- Andy Calloway -442-3170 Mr. Calloway requested a 15' utility easement across the front of the property adjacent to Meadow. a$� • Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 2 PLA 97-23.00: PROPERTY LINE ADJUSTMENT (WANDA SIMS) WANDA SIMS- 4015 EAST HUNTSVILLE ROAD The property line adjustment was submitted by Glen Carter of Carter Engineering on behalf of Wanda Sims for property located at 4015 East Huntsville Road.

STAFF: 911 Coordinator -Jim Johnson -575-8380 Solid Waste Division- Cheryl Zotti-443-3400 Landscape Administrator- Beth Sandeen-575-8308 • Sidewalk and Trails Coordinator- Chuck Rutherford -575-8291 Traffic -Perry Franklin- 575-8228 Parks -Nancy Dugwyler- 444-3472 • Planning -Dawn Warrick -575-8262 Requirements: property must annexed in order to connect to city sewer. Please revise note about sewer on plat. Ms. Warrick asked if the property being adjusted was currently in the city limits. Mr Carter explained Tract 1 was entirely within the city limits, however, part of Tract 2 was in the county. All of the adjustments were taking place within the city limits. Ms. Warrick requested additional detail for 100 year flood plain boundary and to check the south boundary line to verify that it matched the adjoining property line. She asked if there was a dispute over the location of the property line. Mr. Carter replied there was a question on the location of the line. Mr. Bill Meadows and Ms. Sims were working on agreement on the property line. It had been his understanding there had been a property line dispute since 1907. He thought the fence line would be accepted as the property line. • • • Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 3 Ms. Little added the city had annexed the property for Mr. Meadows. A legal description had been provided for the annexation described the property line. The two surveys needed to meet correctly. She suggested yielding to the annexation legal description. Mr. Carter thought the annexation line had been the fence line. If the city were to annex Tract 2 as shown there would be an overlap in annexation. He would look at the legal descriptions to prevent an error. Ms. Warrick added the original lot legal on Tract 2 had two directions transposed. Mr. Carter replied he would correct the legal. Fire- Mickey Jackson -575-8364 Engineering- Jim Beavers- 444-3418 Comments: 1. Sanitary sewer is not available to either property at this time. The City of Fayetteville will not participate in the extension of sewer to these properties. Sewer will not be permitted to any property not annexed into the City. 2. Water and street frontage will be available as a result of Stone Bridge Meadows. Mr. Conklin noted the existing structure was located in the setback. Ms. Warrick noted the buildings could not be reconstructed without a variance, if they were destroyed. UTILITIES Ozark Electric Cooperatives- Mike Phipps- 521-2900 Mr. Phipps asked if the south property line joined with the Meadows' property. Mr. Carter stated the line was in conflict. The fence line did not run east and west which was being called the property line. He believed the fence would become the property line. Mr. Phipps stated there was an existing easement along the north side of the Meadows' property to service Tract 2. He did not believe there was enough room along the road to the Meadows for a utility easement. Mr. Carter thought there were easements in place for sewer. He added the owner planned to split aqo • • • Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 4 Tract 2 after the property was annexed. The property dispute would be settled by then, then they could consider additional easements along the tract. SW Bell- Andy Calloway -442-3170 Mr. Calloway requested the same easement as Arkansas Western Gas. He requested a utility easement from the north of the property through the carport. Mr. Beavers asked if the owners were going to move the carport. TCA Cable- Kevin Lefler- 521-7730 Mr. Lefler requested the same easements as power and phone companies. Arkansas Western Gas- Rick Evans- 521-1141 Mr. Evans asked for 20' of the 25' building setback on the south side of Hwy 16 to be an utility easement.

Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 6 Fire- Mickey Jackson -575-8364 Engineering- Jim Beavers- 444-3418 Comments: 1. The note that sanitary sewer is not available is acceptable. The City will not provide a tap under Highway 71B. The developer will be responsible to extend a sanitary sewer main from Nonnamaker or from under highway 71B. 2. Drainage for tracts 1 and 2 will be reviewed at the time of development for each lot. Comments: Mr. Beaver asked if the lot split had been submitted before. Mr. Carter stated it had been, but he had resurveyed the property by reestablishing the forty quarter. Ms Warrick added there had been some questions on the previous lot on the configuration because of the split in zoning . The planning staff had requested the lot line to be located on the zoning line. UTILITIES SWEPCO- Dennis Burrack-973-2308 Mr. Bertram stated there were three phase lines to the west and single phase to the north. There would not be a problem serving the property.

Ms. Warrick stated there needed to be paved space for 40 cars for the 8 bays, the space within the structure could be included. Ms. Little stated the Planning Commission discussions regarding Commercial Design Standards have been check list for the ordinance. They had been looking at square box -like structures. She asked what materials would be used for the building, stucco or brick. She did not believe any more signage would be allowed other than what was on the building. She asked him to get an address for the development. Ms. Warrick added the Commission had been requesting additional elevations for the developments. Ms. Little suggested one rendering with the side elevations in black and white. Fire- Mickey Jackson -575-8364 Engineering- Jim Beavers- 444-3418 General: 1. 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 plat review, subdivision committee meeting and at the time construction plans are submitted. 2. The proposed 20 "SB&UE" is not acceptable as a utility easement because it is in the creek. Provide UE as requested at plat review. Water: 1. What size water line is proposed under Highway 16? Why the two line types? Sanitary Sewer: 1. Vehicular access must be provided to any "backyard" or offsite manholes on this property. • 2. Sanitary sewer easements shall be a minimum of 20 ft. in width and wider as necessary for sewers deeper than 10 feet, or sewers offset in the easement, to provide a 1:1 trench slope. • • • Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 9 3. What is the timing of sanitary sewer "by others" ? 4. Trees will not be allowed within 10 feet of the new sewer line. Grading and drainage: 1. The extent of the rip -rap swale is subject to further review. 2. A guard rail is needed all around the property at the top of the existing drainage creek. Comments: Mr. Beavers did not believe the utility easement along the bottom of the creek was acceptable. He asked there was an 8" water line under the highway then servicing off of it. Mr. Carter stated he had not been able to determine the size of the line coming across to Watson. He did not think he could assume he could connect to them, so he was showing a boring under the highway to connect to the existing 8"(as a last resort). He wanted to find the size of line that was servicing Watson to see if they could connect to them. The city map did not show any water on that side of the street. He did not know where the existing residents received their water. Mr. Beavers replied the homes had services bored under the highway. He asked the timing of the sewer? Mr. Carter replied CEI was working on the plans now. He expected the sewer to be in before his development was complete. Ms. Little suggested talking with Mr. Conklin about floodplain data that could affect the man holes. Mr. Beavers recommended a guard rail west and south of the property at the top of the bank. The velocity of the rip rap swale needed to looked at during the final. UTILITIES SWEPCO- Ron Bertram -973-2308 Ozark Electric Cooperatives- Mike Phipps- 521-2900 Mr. Phipps stated there was an overhead line along the north property line with an overhead power pole in the northeast corner. Any service the building would be underground from that pole Any relocation of the overhead power line would be at the developer expense. The line was three phase. Ms Little asked Mr. Carter to obtain an estimate from OZARK to relocate the line underground a%10 • Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 10 on his property.

Mr. Beavers did not believe the vacation of the exiting sewer line would be denied. Ms. Little questioned the property owners. All parties with financial ownership has to on the application form. Fire- Mickey Jackson -575-8364 Engineering- Jim Beavers- 444-3418 General: 1. 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. 2. Additional information concerning grading and drainage is requested. It is my opinion that the changes will be such that you will redesign the building layout and the site. At Plat Review we need to discuss the effect you see of the changes and if the project can go forward. If it is determined by all involved that the LSD can go forward then all corrections and drainage calculations are required no later than 12 noon on Friday November 21 to my office (SDC meeting is early due to Thanksgiving). Water: 1. 36 and 8 existing. Provide fire protection, including hydrants and main extensions, as requested by the Fire Chief. 2. We will not allow you to cut as indicated on the preliminary grading plan over the 36 inch line, nor will we allow the cut or retaining wall inside the existing easement which covers the 36 • • Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 13 inch water line. 3. Minimum new easement (or combination of accessible ROW and easement) widths for water lines shall be 20 feet. Minimum easement width when the water line is in a general utility easement or in a water and sewer easement will be 25 feet. Wider easements may be necessary to provide 1:1 trench slopes for water and sewer mains. Sanitary Sewer: 1. Your request to vacate the existing sanitary sewer line and easement requires a separate and formal easement vacation to be approved by the City staff, Planning Commission and Council prior to any construction in, or over, this easement. 2. Any new sanitary sewer easements shall be a minimum of 20 ft. in width and wider as necessary for sewers deeper than 10 feet, or sewers offset in the easement, to provide a 1:1 trench slope. Grading: 1. Also refer to the attached checklists. 2. Refer to section 161.07.A.3.c of the grading ordinance which requires a minimum setback of 25 feet from public right-of-way for cuts. This will change your southern and southeast layout. 3. We will not allow the cut as indicated on the preliminary grading plan at the east/southeast over the 36 inch line, nor will we allow the cut or retaining wall inside the existing easement which covers the 36 inch water line. 4. Check your topos in the northwest corner. You show elevations (existing) of 1229 and 1230 crossing and damming the creek. Drainage: 1. Refer to the attached checklist. Provide all of the required information. Refer to the 6 December 95 amendment no. 1 to the Drainage Catena Manual. 2. The large paved area of the proposed parking and dock area on the north may interfere with the drainage. Provide the drainage basin information and the calculations for the offsite flows and total flows in the creek. 3. Provide additional information demonstrating how the building drains to the north. • 4. If you propose to construct the parking and truck dock in the existing drainage easement then you are going to be required, at this preliminary stage, to determine the flows and the 2, 10 and 300 Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 14 100- year water surface elevations of the runoff across this easement to determine if it would be creating an unsafe condition by placing the parking and truck area in the easement. Comments: Mr. Beavers stated the city's grading ordinance did not allow cuts 25' from right-of- way. All of the cut on the southeast corner would not be allowed. Everything would have to move a minimum of 25' to the north and west. He was willing to allow the applicant to revise the plans, however, if other staff members flet the charges would be too signifcant then the project would start over in the process. Mr. Moore replied the building square footage could be reduced to accommodate the change. He would not cut within the 25'. Mr. Beavers added all drainage calculations and grading would have to be received by Friday to proceed to Subdivision. The retaining wall in the easement over the 36" water line, would not allowed. He would not be allowed cut over the waterline. The request to abandoned the sanitary sewer easement would require a separate grading. Need to check topos and off site flows onto the site. He did not know if the parking would be allowed in the drainage easement, more information needed to be provided. Mr. Conklin noted there was a 100 year flood plain on the north side of the project. He noted the developer was using the calculations from Mel Milholland as base flood elevations for the channel in the developed subdivision. He questioned if the base flood elevation needed to be revised. Mr. Moore replied the base flood elevation had been determined previously. He did not believe he should be required to recalculation the elevation. Mr. Conklin replied any parcel over 5 acres with a zone A, the developer could be required to conduct a study. He expressed concern about the building being in the flood plain. The city would have detailed studies of the area in a month He expressed concern about flood height between the two buildings. Ms. Little added most of the new data has shown an increase from the previous flood plain elevations. Most everyone was having to elevate more than had been previously planned. Mr. Moore noted there were 4' loading docks on that side of the building. In response to questions from Ms. Little, Mr. Conklin stated the most the elevations have been off has been 2.7 feet. Mr. Beavers asked for additional information on swales near the building. His main concern was 30\ • • Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 15 the parking in the drainage easement. He added a formal stormwater prevention plan would have to filed with the state, since the property was over 5 acres. A permit would also be required to work in the floodplain. UTILITIES Ozark Electric Cooperatives- Mike Phipps- 521-2900 Mr. Phipps asked where the transformer would be located. He would have to bore under Shiloh The overhead power was located on the east side of Shiloh Drive. There was a stub pole on the west side. To relocate the sub pole, would require another overhead pole with guide wires on the west side. He would have to place a pole between lots 2 and 3, then anchor down. Ms Little noted overhead lines were exempt in industrial zoning. Mr. Phipps noted the overhead lines were not located on this property. He would need to know the location of the transformer to know where to bore from, which would be at developers expense. He noted SWEPCO temtory was on the south corner of the property. He noted Ozark would have all the street lights with the exception of the one located on the southeast corner. Mr. Moore stated he had planned to place the transformer on the southeast corner, so the additional phases could be added easily. Mr. Phipps replied the service would then be supplied for SWEPCO. Mr. Bertram stated the majority of the building was located in Ozarks territory, however, if they were going to service from the south side, the service would be provided SWEPCO. Ms. Little noted the building to the north was serviced by Ozark. SW Bell- Andy Calloway -442-3170 Mr. Calloway stated there was an existing line running north and south along the west property line. Any relocation or adjustment of the line would be at the owner expense. He noted the line was a major line and could not be moved easily. If telephone service was required in the facility the service would be provided from the west side of the property. Conduit would be required from the building to a greenspace and back to the property line to avoid any concrete. He would need to know the usage before the conduits were sized. Ms. Little noted the screening needed to be equal to or greater than the mechanical units. • TCA Cable- Kevin Lefler- 521-7730 Mr. Lefler requested the same easements as power and phone. 3o Technical Plat Review November 18, 1997 Page 16 Arkansas Western Gas- Rick Evans- 521-1141 Mr. Evans stated there was an existing 4" high pressure line along the west property line. Will need to uncover if there was any grading in the area. There was a gas line in the existing easement he was considering vacating. Notify him of any grading in the area of the existing line so the line could be shut off. He would work with him on the location of the meter to the building.
