and contains approximately 1 01 acres.
Mr. Chris Brackett was present representing the project.
Staff Comments
Cheryl Zotti, Environmental Affairs Administrator
Ms. Zotti had no comments.
Kim Hesse, Landscape Administrator
A 15 feet green space is required adjacent to all rights of way, additional green space will be
required for this project or a green space waiver needs to be requested.
• Chuck Rutherford, Sidewalk & Trails Coordinator
Mr. Rutherford stated that Sunbridge Dr. is a local street having a 50 feet right of way and a 31
feet street. The requirement will be for a minimum 4 feet green space with a minimum 5 feet
sidewalk
Perry Franklin, Traffic Superintendent
Mr. Franklin stated the ADA spaces are fine as shown. (See trip generation information on file
in the Planning Office.)
Dawn Warrick, Development Coordinator
Ms. Warrick requested that the signage allowance be verified through the sign inspector, Mike
McKimmey at 575-8232. Further, she requested an elevation of the free standing sign which is
necessary for commercial design standards review. Mr. Brackett stated that it would only be four
feet and would say Keystone Center. She stated all utility shall be located underground.
Regarding Commercial Design Standards, Ms. Warrick noted that the 15 feet landscaping along
the front property lines does not meet requirements and therefore a setback reduction request
would need to be completed requesting a reduction from 15 feet to 5 feet. She inquired regarding
the screening for the dumpster. She stated the dumpster would require screening on three sides
and she requested that the materials to be used need to be called out. She stated that 73% of the
site would be utilized with this project. Additionally, she again requested elevations on the free
standing sign. She noted that the landscaping shown on the plat must match that shown on the
elevation and vice versa.

lines. Further, he stated he had a piece of switch gear which needed conduit and pad for the
transformer in the middle. He stated he would confer with Mr. Keating. He stated the easement
were acceptable if the City has no objections with the sewer in the middle and that creates a need
for certain clearances. Further he stated he may an additional 5 feet. Ms. Little stated that she
thought 10 feet separation was required and asked the Mr. Brackett to check with Jim.
Regarding digging, Mr. Burrack stated they have 12 kv underground and requested that they call

Staff Comment
Kim Hesse - Landscape Administrator
Ms. Hesse had no comments.
Chuck Rutherford - Sidewalk & Trails Coordinator
Mr. Rutherford stated sidewalks, driveway approaches and access ramps shall be constructed to
Ordinance 4005, Section 98.67, City of Fayetteville, Code of Ordinances. And inspection is
required prior to the concrete pour. Driveway approaches shall be constructed of Portland
• Cement Concrete. Mr. Rutherford noted that Highway 71B is a principal arterial. The
requirement is for a minimum 6 feet sidewalk and a minimum 10 feet green space An asphalt
sidewalk exists adjacent to the curb. This asphalt sidewalk is in poor condition. Perhaps the
airport could set up a fund based on a percentage basis of each new project that comes forward at
the airport. The set aside fund could be used to build the sidewalk at the airport. Ms. Warrick
stated this had been addressed at a prior meeting. Mr. Jeffus stated that the last time he spoke
with anyone was Steve Davis and he said he would work with the airport on that. Ms. Warrick
stated that basically someone needed to take the initiative to get some agreements going. Ms
Little stated that the airport is set up differently than the City but this was a project that planning
did approve of. She inquired if there was any idea of the total length of the frontage in question.
She stated that figure would be required and then an incremental number must be derived to
assess from. Further, she stated that did need to stay in the Airport Fund.

Mickey Jackson, Fire Chief
Chief Jackson requested that a hydrant be added approximately 400 to 500 feet east of the
existing hydrant located in such a way as to be usable for a proposed hanger and an existing
hanger south of the proposed hanger. Mr. Beavers elaborated stating the two hydrants were
needed and he suggested locations.
Jim Beavers, Engineering
Mr Beavers noted that all designs are subject to the City's latest design criteria. Review for plat
approval is not approval of public improvements and all proposed improvements are subject to
further review at the time construction plans are submitted. He required that all corrections and
additions must be submitted prior to the Subdivision Committee deadline. Regarding water, Mr.
Beavers inquired how the hanger would be served with water? He noted the plat shows existing
meters but not a main. He stated that if there was not a line within 100 feet of the lift station one
would be need to be added. He stated that would mean either extending the line to the property
line at Arthur Miller. Ms. Little inquired if that would be a 6 inch line and Mr. Beavers
concurred. He requested a minimum easement or combination of right of way and easements
widths for water lines of 20 feet. Additionally he stated a wider easement would be required if
the easement contains any other utility. He stated that fire protection and fire hydrant locations
shall meet the more stringent of the published water standards of the Fire Chief's request. He
added that this appears to require a new hydrant at the proposed hanger. He noted that sanitary
sewer was existing and noted on the plat. Regarding Drainage and Grading he referred to a letter
from Garver dated Nov. 9, 1998. (Please see engineering for a file copy of this letter.)
Utility Comments
Dennis Burrack, SWEPCO
Mr. Burrack stated there was an existing transformer that is closer to the EFA tower and there is
also service for the sewer lift station on the other side. He stated he spoke to Dale and he
requested only one meter even if you build more. I can increase the size of the service on either
side. He requested that they apprise him of their decision. He stated they were existing and he
would upgrade if needed. Ms. Little inquired if they were underground and Mr. Burrack stated
they were.
Rick Evans, Arkansas Western Gas
Mr. Evans stated there was one hanger with gas and if they wanted gas service that Arkansas
Western would need to be contacted.

LSD98-34: LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT
TUNE PLAZA (PP 252)
This large scale development was submitted by Jim Key of Garver Engineers on behalf of Tune
& Tune Investments for property located at 2908 North College Avenue. The property is zoned
C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, and contains approximately 1.97 acres.
Steven Jeffus, Jim Key, and Morgan Hooker were present on behalf of the project.
Staff Comments
Jim Johnson, 9-1-1 Coordinator
Mr. Johnson stated that the project will require at least two separate addresses. He requested that
he be contacted at 575-8380 or Room 110 of the City Administration Building.
Cheryl Zotti, Environmental Affairs Administrator
Ms. Zotti asked that she be contacted regarding container placement and number of containers on
the site.
Kim Hesse, Landscape Administrator
Ms. Hesse commented that the grading for the proposed building prohibits tree protection along
the southeast portion of the site. She stated the remaining tree protection would meet the 15 %
requirement established for canopy preservation within C-2 zoning. If utility easement will be
along north property line, tree preservation will not be possible.
Chuck Rutherford, Sidewalk & Trails Coordinator
Mr. Rutherford stated College Avenue is a principal arterial which required a minimum 10 feet
green space with a minimum 6 feet sidewalk. The radius curb lines need to be removed through
the sidewalk. The sidewalk needs to be added to the legend and the green space width must be
shown.
Mickey Jackson, Fire Chief
Chief Jackson noted that the hydrant spacing needed improvement as well as increasing the size
of the main and providing for looping of the line. Specifically, he requested that a hydrant be
installed on an 8 inch main on the east side of College Avenue near the main entrance to the
subject property. Mr. Beavers stated the location of the water and sewer lines on the current plat
will not be allowed. Further he stated there was an existing 6 inch which is 4 feet east of the curb
in North College. He stated the developer would need to obtain the necessary permits from
AHTD to hook on that line with an 8 inch and serve the property. Mr. Jeffus inquired if the 6
inch line was below the street. Mr. Beavers confirmed it was.

Perry Franklin, Traffic Superintendent
Mr. Franklin pointed out that the ADA parking spaces at the Sonic have problems. Both of the
spaces shown do not appear to be legal spaces with proper access aisles. Mr Franklin stated they
would have to figure out a way to get proper ADA space access. One of them has to be a van
accessible space. Mr. Jeffus inquired if that was just on the Sonic? Mr. Franklin stated the other
appear to be adequate. Mr. Franklin stated the traffic flow around that Sonic and where the ADA
spaces are located was not a good idea. He stated he was unclear on what the cross hatching was
on space 21. If that's a ramp, it can't land in the ramp to get up on the sidewalk. And the one on
the other end is in the flow of traffic and there is no aisle or ramp shown. He stated that area
could be 8 feet and 5 feet, but the other one is 8 feet and 8 feet. He stated one of them had to be
8 feet by 9 feet. Mr. Jeffus inquired is both ADA spaces were required and Mr. Franklin said
that if there are 25 or more spaces serving that Sonic then the requirement was for two. Ms.
Little noted that they could save space by putting them together. Mr. Franklin expressed concern
about people coming from the drive through and turning to go out and the location of the ADA
spaces. Mr. Franklin stated he had included information regarding trip generation and the
currently proposed uses would significantly increase the number of cars from it's prior use.
Dawn Warrick, Development Coordinator
Ms. Warrick requested 15 copies of the Landscape and Tree Preservation Plans for staff and the
Planning Commission. She requested that the adjacent zoning be labeled and that plat page 252
be included in the title block. She requested that the curb cuts be dimension and each part of the
landscaped median be dimension and increased in length to better control traffic movement. She
stated the cross access needed to be further addressed. Mr. Jeffus stated that if the time came to
provide cross access they would take out the compact parking spaces. She also stated that there
was existing overhead utilities and service needed to be discussed. She also noted that the
applicant needed to fill out the setback reduction request for landscaping/screening reduction
from 15 feet to 5 feet.
Regarding Commercial Design Standards Review, Ms. Warrick requested additional information
on the mechanical and dumpster screening. Mr. Jeffus stated the dumpster would be a wood
fence. Mr. Hooker stated the mechanical would be roof top for all facilities. Ms. Warrick stated
that the parapets would need to wrap around the sides. Mr. Burrack stated that if any conduits
were included for SWEPCO to the back building, they will have to be 36 inches deep and if this
is a concrete pad, he doesn't have a problem with that. She also requested site coverage
calculations. Concerning design elements for commercial structures, Ms. Warrick inquired
regarding the north and south elevations of the retail center. Mr. Key stated that it was intended
to be metal siding. Ms. Little stated that would be a problem and suggested brick. Mr. Key
stated that after considering the cost comparisons they would decide whether to go with gray
brick and red accent or drivet. Ms. Warrick inquired regarding the columns She stated she
recognized that this was a prototype. Mr. Key stated those were lights of red acrylic pylons
designed as soda straws. Mr. Hooker stated that it was a mandatory retrofit for all new Sonics.

Mr. Key provided pictures. Ms. Little stated those would be very difficult to get approved. Ms.
Warrick stated that brick columns might be more appropriate.
Jim Beavers, Engineering
In general, Mr. Beavers stated that all designs are subject to the City's latest design criteria.
Review for plat approval is not approval of public improvements and all proposed improvements
are subject to further review at the time construction plans are submitted. Further, he stated all
work within the AHTD right of way requires approval from the AHTD. Mr. Beavers stated that
the deadline for corrections and revision is November 25. He added that corrections were
necessary involving relocations of cuts, retaining walls, utilities, utility easements and building
locations and he recommended that the project come back to technical plat review.
Regarding water, Mr. Beavers stated the proposed one inch water main is not acceptable and
neither are the proposed meter locations. Further, he stated that an 8 inch dead end main coming
from the 6 inch line on the west side of 71B is required to provide flows for a fire hydrant in this
development. He advised that the minimum easement width for water lines shall be 20 feet and
wider easements shall be required if the easements contains any other utility. Further, the
easements must be usable and coordinated with the setbacks required in the Grading Ordinance.
Mr. Beavers suggested that the water main be located near the middle of the proposed
development.
Regarding sanitary sewer, Mr. Beavers stated the proposed layout on the south property line is
unacceptable. The minimum easement width for sanity sewer lines is 20 feet with the sanitary
sewer centered. The minimum distance from the edge of the sanitary sewer line to the easement
will be 10 feet. Mr. Beavers stated for maintenance the manholes must be truck accessible and
the main should be located near the center of the proposed development. He stated 6 inch lines
are not acceptable. The minimum line size is 8 inch.
Regarding grading, Mr. Beavers stated the preliminary grading plan does not contain the required
information. Further he stated the setback for the retaining walls must comply with
169.06.C.4.c. He stated 10 feet walls were the maximum. He suggested that the cut be pushed to
the southeast and northwest to provide setbacks to the proposed utility easements. Mr. Beavers
pointed out that the cut exceeds that allowed by ordinance without terracing Additionally, he
stated the final plan must include supporting geotechnical information.
Regarding drainage, Mr Beavers stated the preliminary drainage report was incomplete. Further,
Mr Beavers expressed concern regarding the flows and where the existing system goes. He
requested the capacity of the system. He stated that Joe Shipman would need to approve the
drainage system.
Mr. Beavers stated the review fee had not been paid.

Additionally, Mr. Beavers stated that along the north side of the parking lot a safety/guardrail
would be required.
Mr. Jeffus inquired if they could make the corrections would they be allowed the chance to
continue in cycle on to Subdivision. Mr. Beavers stated he would not recommend the project
going forward.
Utility Comments
Dennis Burrack, SWEPCO
Mr. Burrack stated he met on site with Mr. Hooker and discussed a number of things. He stated
there was an existing underground fed pad mount transformer that is serving the Panda
Restaurant. Service for the Sonic can come from that. It is 120 208 3 phase. He stated he would
change that transformer out to a feed through and can feed back to a point on the southeast corner
and provide service to the proposed building or offices. We looked at it and I went back to the
office and went over it a little bit closer. You're saying that the building stem wall is going to be
the retaining wall on about half of the building. There is really no way for me to get back there.
All metering will have to be on the south end of that office building. That may help as far as
easement. He stated he looked at the existing overhead service that going back in there and it
showing in the middle of the new proposed building so that will all have to be taken out. The
customer that is to the north does have a service coming off of a pole that is on the north property
line above. I will have to get back to serve that pole and the two buildings that are served from it
back in there. He requested an additional easement back into the parking lot. Without knowing
how your rework is going to look, it's hard to ask for specific easements. If the building is going
to be moved forward, I would ask for an additional 5 feet be given from the Highway right of
way going east to the face of the building. Mr. Burrack stated it appeared the lighting would be
provided by the customer and will be coming off the house meters.
Rick Evans, Arkansas Western Gas
Regarding service, he stated that if they could service on the south side, they might be able to do
away with the easement behind. He requested a 20 feet easement along Highway 71 east of the
new right of way. He stated he had existing service which would have to be removed. He
requested that when they take that building down he would need to know in advance.
Andy Calloway, Southwestern Bell
Ms. Warrick stated that SWB had an existing easement and they asked that they also get
coordinated regarding the existing service. He requested that conduit be laid for the new
structures.

William G. Underwood for property located at Cliffs Boulevard and Highway 265. The property
is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains approximately 34.54 acres.
Mr. Jerry Kelso and Mr. Bill Underwood were present on behalf of the project.
Staff Comments
Chuck Rutherford, Sidewalk & Trails Coordinator
Mr. Rutherford commented that Happy Hollow Rd. and Cliff Blvd. are Collector Street. This
requires a minimum 10 feet greenspace with a minimum 6 feet sidewalk on both sides of the
street. Cliffs blvd. is shown having a 20 feet median with a 24 ft. street on each side and 4 feet
sidewalks adjacent to the curb. This adds up to 76 feet shown in an 80 feet right of way. If the
10 feet greenspace and 6 feet sidewalks are required for the boulevard, 100 feet of right of way
will be needed. a Collector Street required 70 feet of right of way. The unnamed public street is
shown as a local street having 50 feet of right of way. This requires a minimum 6 feet green
space with a minimum 4 feet sidewalks on both sides of the street All sidewalks shall be
continuous through driveways with the curb radius lines removed within the sidewalk Mr.
Kelso stated that the sidewalks were adjacent to the curb was due to the cross slopes especially
when we get on Happy Hollow Road where we're limited with right of way. Mr. Rutherford
responded that the one on Happy Hollow Road wouldn't require greenspace per the street
standard. Mr. Kelso pointed out that he will have to get more right of way from the church. Ms.
Little added that if it is a question of not having enough right of way, this is greenspace so we
could use part of that because we have to be careful not to punish the developer. Mr. Kelso
stated that particular are is tight because of the cross slope. Mr. Rutherford commented stated
that the area along Highway 265 would need to show how it ties into the subject project.
Additionally, he stated a contribution will be assessed for Phase I and Phase II along Highway
265. Ms. Little stated they could provide a Bill of Assurance. Mr. Rutherford stated the
sidewalks needed to be continuous and he discussed the configuration with Mr. Hopper.
Kim Rogers, Parks Administrative Operations Asst.
Ms. Rogers commented that the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board on June 7, 1993,
recommended money in lieu of land. The park land fee is $64,800 for the development of Phase
II.

wrong direction. She requested that the vehicle be allowed a straight approach traveling north.
Additionally, Ms. Zotti stated the containers need to be repositioned at unit 21 and 22, and unit
18, 19, and 20 to allow a straight approach from the east She requested that more space be
dedicated for three more 6 cubic yard contains to allow for recycling program within the
complex.
Kim Hesse, Landscape Administrator
Ms. Hesse requested more information at the time of construction. She stated that tree protection
fencing should be indicated on construction grading plans along with a detail for tree protection
fencing Additional tree protection may be deemed necessary as construction begins and
individual trees are located. Particulars will be discussed during preconstruction meetings with
city staff. She further requested statements on rare trees and tree protection specs. Mr. Hopper
stated the tree protection acreage were included on page 2 but he would prepare a sheet. Ms.
Hesse stated that could be done at construction time.
Perry Franklin, Traffic Superintendent
Mr. Franklin requested that the developer check with Jim Johnson on name for new public
streets. Secondly he stated that street lights were required every 300 feet at public street
intersections and cul de sac on new public street, Happy Hollow, and on both side of Cliff Blvd.
If street lights are non standard, an agreement between the City and developer may be required.
Mr. Hopper stated they would show the street lights. Mr. Underwood stated they were wrought
iron. Mr. Franklin stated that if they are non standard street lights, there is an agreement stating
who owns them, who maintains them which must be executed. Mr. Franklin stated the City
would pay the electric bills for the ones along the public streets. Further, Mr. Franklin stated the
ADA spaces appear to be universal spaces (11 feet space with 5 feet aisle) which eliminates the
need for van accessible spaces. He stated he had attached a trip generation report (see file.)
Dawn Warrick, Development Coordinator
Ms. Warrick requested that plat age 488 be added to the title block. Further, she stated that the
right of way needed to be dimensioned from the centerline. She also requested all existing and
requested easements to be dimensioned. Regarding street requirements, she stated that a
contribution of one half of Happy Hollow extension adjacent to this project is required as a part
of this phase of development for the section north of Cliffs. Ms. Little added that they could put
up the money and it would be refunded when they completed the road construction. Regarding
parking requirements, Ms Warrick noted that there are areas within the parking lots with more
than 10 spaces which are not broken up by landscaping and she requested that the developer
contact the landscape administrator regarding this issue. Mr. Hopper stated that they had put the
landscaping islands between the buildings. Ms. Little requested that they get approval from the
landscape administrator on that regard. Ms. Warrick inquired as to the total number of parking

spaces and Mr. Hopper stated the parking was based on one space per bedroom. Ms. Warrick
stated that all utilities shall be located underground. Further, she stated that during discussions at
In House Plat Review, a waiver request was required for the intersection due to the grade and
another waiver on the distance between the water feature and the structure. She stated those
needed to be written up for the Planning Commission to consider.
Mr. Beavers stated the waiver at the intersection was due to the grade exceeding 4%. Mr.
Hooper inquired if they could make it work a waiver would not be necessary.
