LSD99-26: LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT
WEINGARTEN REALTY INVESTORS, PP407
This item was submitted by David Norman of McClelland Consulting Engineers on behalf of
Weingarten Realty Investors for property located at Evelyn Hills Shopping Center. The property
is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and contains approximately 15.29 acres.
David Norman was present on behalf of the request.
Staff Recommendations
Warrick: What this entails is redevelopment of part of the structure of the Montgomery
Wards. The large scale is for a new proposed retail with 13,200 square feet.
Kim Hesse, Landscape Administrator
The standards listed on the plans "Landscaping Within Projects Limit" has incorrect information.
Please refer to the current ordinance. Two additional trees will be required within the proposed
changes to the interior parking area. Commercial Design Standards require a 15 foot green space
adjacent to the right of way of College Ave. Trees are to be planted along this green space at 30
foot intervals.
Warrick: One thing we need in order to go further is information on parking within the
project limits. We need to know parking for the entire development with the square footage for
the entire development so we can verify that they are within the range of what is required for the
overall shopping center with this change. Also, with regard to that, what Kim referred to with
the 15 feet of landscaping along the front property line is we are looking for this to become a
landscape area The parking in front of the new development isn't in compliance with the current
ordinance.
Norman: You don't allow parking up front?
Warrick: This is within the 15 foot required green space.
Conklin: You have to have 15 feet of landscaping along the front property line for new
development.
Warrick. That is based on the Master Street Plan right of way. It pushes that right of way
line back.
• Norman. Can I invoke that 5 foot green space?

Warrick: That is not an option anymore. We eliminated that early this year or late last year.
We'll work with you on what we have to do get that up to code. We need to be sure that you
maintain the numbers that you need for parking overall.
Norman: We'll have to cut the size of the building to do that.
Warrick: Some of that is shared.
Conklin: I have the authority to reduce your parking requirements down in order to comply
with landscaping. We just need to figure out how many spaces.
Warrick. Before you go cutting the building down, let us know what your numbers are and
we'll see what we can do.
Norman: We applied for a waiver.
Warrick. You applied for a waiver of the tree preservation ordinance. Kim, they applied for
a waiver of tree preservation and there are no trees in the development area. They also paid a
fee. We can talk about that after this meeting but there is a possibility that you may get a refund
of that fee.
Norman: That waiver letter included 3 or 4 things. I tried to word it to include the
landscaping strips out in front and the sides as well.
Warrick: We'll review that after this meeting and get with you.
Chuck Rutherford, Sidewalk & Trails Coordinator
Sidewalks, driveway approaches and access ramps shall be constructed to Ordinance Number
4005, Section 98.67, City of Fayetteville, Code of Ordinances An inspection is required prior to
the concrete pour. Driveway approaches shall be constructed of Portland Cement Concrete.
College Avenue is a principal arterial requiring a minimum of 6 foot sidewalks. The curb and
gutter at the northwest driveway approach needs to be removed through the sidewalk. The
sidewalk needs to be added to the legend.
Perry Franklin, Traffic Superintendent
No comment.

No comment since this is zoned C-2.
Dawn T. Warrick, Associate Planner
Regarding submittal requirements, everything was adequate but additional elevation information
is necessary for a complete review of compliance with Commercial Design Standards.
Warrick. What we have, from what I can tell, is the elevation of the building facing the
interior. What we don't have is the western elevation. Is there a connection between these two?
Norman: No. This is a retaining wall.
Wan -ick: Are the concrete steps new?
Norman. No. They're a part of the existing structure. All of that is coming out and there's
a fairly tall retaining wall to make the transition.
Regarding plat requirements, add plat page 407 to the title block and update the flood reference
• to reflect the current data which was effective July 21, 1999.
•
Regarding street requirements, are both curb cuts existing? These cuts do not meet City
standards. The right of way dedication along Hwy 71 is 55 feet from the centerline and must be
dedicated by warranty deed.
Warrick: The curb cut at the far north property line, is that an entrance only? You have an
entrance arrow.
Norman: Yes. It's a little wider now and we're asking for 30 foot. That's another reason I
was asking for a waiver on the landscaping strips. They'll be bringing trucks in and out of there.
Warrick: I noticed that it was wider than the standards. The Planning Commission will
have to determine that.
Franklin: How are trucks going to access the truck ramp?
Norman: With the waiver request there is a sheet that shows a diagram of how they will
have to come in. They will come in off College and turn into the strip at the west of the building
and back down the alley up to the ramp. I've shown the track of the truck wheels which is
explaining why we need the 30 feet.
Franklin: That's not a good situation.

Norman. We tried to bring them in from the rear but there's no way for them to get in there
either.
Warrick: So they have to pull into the ramp area and then back up.
Norman: Coming from the north and trying to turn in is why we need the 30 foot. That's
the only way to do it. It's really tight.
Warrick: I've got that information here and I'll make sure it gets distributed to staff
Norman: We're doing the best we can to keep from backing up traffic and also from having
to make them swing wide.
Regarding parking requirements, please provide the overall parking calculations for the entire
shopping center. The total number of spaces is needed to determine if the requirements have
been met.
Lot requirements were adequate.
All new utilities shall be located underground.
Warrick: What is the status of utilities currently? What's existing?
Norman: Electric comes in from the north.
Warrick. Overhead?
Norman: Yes. I'm noting all that to be demolished. They want all that to come out and
then come off the back of the building.
Warrick: Do you have any problems with that Mike?
Campbell: No.
Conklin: Will it come off the back and go underground?
Norman: I think there's an existing overhead.
Campbell: We have overhead line along the north and east property line of the building and
we serve everything back there overhead.

Norman: The service exists. We're just demolishing.
Warrick. What about the new building? How will it be served?
Campbell: Off the overhead line we need to put a pad mount transformer in or an
underground junction box at the base of the pole. The service itself will be underground.
Someone talked to us about the service to the Montgomery Ward building that you are going to
remodel. We're looking at relocating that back at the northeast comer of the building. It's
served off the same platform station that we had.
Norman: I'll have the electrical engineers work that out.
Campbell: We have facilities on the back side to serve either overhead or underground.
In order for this project to continue in the current review cycle, all requested revisions and
additional information must be added to the plat and 37 revised copies be submitted to the
Planning Division no later than 10 a.m. on Wednesday, December 22, 1999.
Developers of large scale developments are required by City ordinance to provide notification to
all adjoining property owners of the upcoming public hearings of the Subdivision Committee and
the Planning Commission. Proof of said notification is required to be submitted with revisions.
Ron Petrie, Engineering
In general, 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. All corrections and/or additional
information are required to be provided no later than December 22 in order for this to continue to
the Subdivision Committee.
Regarding water, the existing 6 inch private line on the north side of the proposed building is too
small for domestic services and fire protection according to the city waterline standards.
Petrie: We wouldn't allow a 6 inch to be constructed so at this time, we are going to
request that it be tied in to the existing 6 inch and create a loop since it will be used for both
domestic and fire protection.
Norman: That 6 inch line is a service line?
Petrie: You're using it as a private main because you've got both meters coming off of it
and you have fire protection coming off of it. It's a service line that we have allowed and we will
•
•
•
Minutes of Plat Review
December 15, 1999
Page 7
continue to allow it to be a private main. The main itself will be owned by the shopping center.
Therefore, connect this line to the existing 6 inch water to the south to create a looped system or
provide a new 8 inch water line to the public water line. The existing water line and all new
water lines will be privately owned and maintained. The meter and appurtenances will be owned
and maintained by the City. In order to utilize the existing 6 inch line for domestic service to the
new building, the gate valve in College Avenue will have to be operational and may include
adjustment to the existing valve box. Will this new building have a sprinkler system? Fire
protection and fire hydrant locations must meed the published criteria or the Fire Chief's request.
All new water lines located under box culverts and retaining walls must be steel encased.
Petrie: The age of the lines makes it imperative that it gets tied in. You don't want
replacement, you just want to tie it. You have the option to replace it with an 8 inch line or tie it
in and make the loop. I assume the retail building won't be sprinklered. You show the fire
hydrant along College and you have the option to relocate that.
Norman: If we move the line, I will probably relocate the hydrant to the other side. Mickey
and I talked about putting it there but if we go ahead and loop the 6 inch or install an 8 inch,
we'll probably move it over across the street.
Petrie: In our meeting yesterday, he recommended that. He also requested a fire hydrant
100 feet from the fire department connection. Our records show the existing sanitary sewer to be
cut and nobody knows what that means. Plan on connecting your service lines directly into that
manhole.
Norman: Is that cut and blocked or something?
Petrie: I don't know. Nobody knows.
Norman: I'm trying to figure out how the bank is served.
Petne: We don't have a recorded utility easement for that service so we'll need a 20 foot
easement.
Regarding sewer, the existing sanitary sewer line along the north boundary is shown to be "cut"
on the Engineering records. Therefore, tie the proposed sewer service line directly into the
existing manhole to the east. A 20 foot utility easement must be dedicated for this existing sewer
line.
Norman: Is that a platted alley?

Warrick: I don't remember seeing that.
Petrie: The right of way for Highway 71 will have to dedicated by warranty deed because
it's a state highway. All work within that right of way will have to have highway department
approval.
Regarding grading and drainage, because of the existing buildings and pavement and the minimal
amount of grading, the drainage and grading as shown are acceptable as preliminary.
Regarding streets, the right of way must be dedicated by warranty deed because this is a state
highway. All work within the Highway 71B right of way must be approved by AHTD.
Willie Newman, Waste Reduction Coordinator
No comment.
Utility Comments
Kevin Lefler, Cox Communications
We have aerial cable on and along this development. There is no problem serving this
development. Cox Communications will follow the electric company Any costs to relocated
cable for construction or if the underground ordinance applies it will be at the developer's
expense. Please call me for the exact placement of conduits or in house wiring.
Michael Campbell, SWEPCO
We have an overhead, main, 3 phase line that runs along the north and the east property line of
this building. The line has been in there for a long time and I couldn't find any record of a utility
easement so if we could get that dedicated as a 20 foot utility easement to cover us we would
appreciate that. We intend to remove the platform station that is in there now for the overhead
service. The permanent service can come either overhead or underground from the back line. It
sounds like underground is what we prefer. If the loads are such that we are going to need a pad
mount transformer, there is not really a good location back there based on your parking and such.
We'll need to work on a location for that to occur for both buildings. We could place it under the
overhead line at the back along that easement. That is something we need to work out when we
know what the loads and voltages to the buildings are going to be.
Norman: The line that you are referring to for an easement, is that the one that runs along
the east property line or the north?
Minutes of Plat Review
December 15, 1999
Page 9
Campbell: The north.
Norman: We'll have to look at that. I'm not sure that is on this property. I'm not sure the
whole stretch is our property. I think it is on the northeast corner.
Campbell: That and along the section that gets back to the east property line and running
south.
Norman. So, you want half an easement there on that property line.
Campbell: That will fine with me. You need to have your electrical engineer to coordinate
with us and get the electric information. We'll figure out a spot for a transformer.
Bob Falk, Southwestern Bell
I'm assuming there is overhead telephone service going into the building and it's going to have
to come down, also. It's at the same location.
Norman: Yes, sir.
Falk: I'll need somebody to coordinate with me to get that done. If they are going to be
doing a lot of remodeling in there, they need to get that done right away because the same pairs
that go in there go elsewhere.
Norman. The phone comes across the platform service for a large part of the shopping
center.
Falk: It circles all around. I need somebody to get with me. I'll need conduit for new
service. I'll also need conduit for the new building.
Norman: For conduit the best place to come across will be behind in the alley where we're
doing the electrical as well.
Falk: Do we know who's going to move into these buildings?
Norman: Half of this one will be taken up by Ozark Natural Foods. I don't know who else
is moving in. I was told it was shell space until they sell it all. I don't know. There was talk
about a restaurant. That would blow the parking numbers.
Warrick: That would be another large scale development.

Falk: We were contacted a number of times by the Golden Corral.
Johney Boles, Arkansas Western Gas
Are you anticipating this service location here for the main?
Norman: We're going to be putting in a ramp and there was some talk about maybe routing
it around.
Boles: I don't know if that is necessary. If we have to relocate, it will be at the
developer's expense. We will need a 4 inch sleeve.
Conklin: What about the aisle width?
Norman. That's an architectural feature. He wants to be able to sweep that out for the
entrance.
Warrick: That's actually something architectural and not on the ground?
Norman: That entrance kind of sticks out. I'm providing 24 feet which is required
Warrick: We have had a lot of conversation about aisle width.
Conklin: The Planning Commission doesn't like excessive aisle width and as staff, our
recommendation is 24 feet.
Norman: We'll have to cut the building off.
Conklin: Just build a large sidewalk.
Norman: So we have more concrete instead of asphalt?
Conklin: Or landscape it.
Norman: We could have it landscaped.
Rutherford: To replace the sidewalk along College, you will need to contact Mike Pickens at
the highway department in Fort Smith.
Warrick: I know that your firm is not doing the architectural design. If you would, just
relay the information to the architect that we are going to need additional information. One thing
•

that the Planning Commission is going to want to see is how the new building ties in with
elements on the existing structures including colors and materials. I know that they are trying to
improve the look of the center. We want to see how they are tying in whether it's with materials
or colors or whatever.
Norman: We will need an elevation on the new facade.
Warrick: On the stand alone, we need to the south, north, and west elevations.
Conklin: On the north elevation, do not plan on just a smooth face concrete block wall.
Warrick: That would be visible from the highway right of way.
Norman: So all 4 sides will have to be addressed.

PP99-15: PRELIMINARY PLAT
APPLEBY ESTATES, PP250
This item was submitted by Dave Jorgensen of Jorgensen & Associates on behalf of Bleaux
Barnes for property located south of Appleby Road and west of Appleby Apartments. The
property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential and contains approximately 8.08 acres with 18
lots proposed.
Chris Brackett and Bleaux Barnes were present on behalf of the request.
Staff Recommendation
Kim Hesse, Landscape Administrator
Additional trees are to be located within the limits of construction. Contact the Landscape
Administrator for specific locations. The 50 inch elm shall be designated for protection. Please
indicate fencing at the drip line and adjust grading to avoid disturbance within the drip line of the
tree. Two hackberry trees, located south of the 36 inch elm, shall be located and tree protection
indicated on the grading plan All trees within the lawn area of the existing house shall be
designated for protection during the demolition of the existing drive.
Chuck Rutherford, Sidewalk & Trails Coordinator
Sidewalks, driveway approaches and access ramps shall be constructed to Ordinance Number
4005, Section 98.67, City of Fayetteville, Code of Ordinances. An inspection is required prior to
the concrete pour. Driveway approaches shall be constructed of Portland Cement Concrete. The
proposed culdesac street is shown as a local street requiring a minimum 4 feet sidewalk with a
minimum 6 foot green space on both sides of the street. Appleby Road is a collector street,
requiring a minimum 6 foot sidewalk with a minimum 10 foot green space.
Perry Franklin, Traffic Superintendent
Regarding the street names, please contact the 911 Coordinator, Jim Johnson, for street names.
Street light locations were adequate. No sight distance problems were noted. A trip generation
report is on file in the Planning Division.
Warrick: I didn't have a chance to speak with him yesterday but in looking at the vicinity
map, 1 think it is reasonable to think that this will be Dorchester Drive. Verify that with Mr.
Johnson.

This subdivision is in the northwest park quadrant and the billing address is Bleaux Barnes &
Sam Mathias, 1772 West Sunset, Springdale, AR 72762, 750-9100. The Parks & Recreation
Board met on December I, 1999 and voted to accept money in lieu of land in the amount of
$7,990 for 17 units at $470 per unit. This fee is based upon the present park land formula in
accordance with U.D.O. 166.03K. Also, Ordinance 4068 requires the formula base to be updated
every 2 years to the current average market price. Therefore, the actual park land fee will be
determined on the date of Planning Commission approval, unless it is approved at the
Subdivision Committee level.
Dawn Warrick, Associate Planner
Submittal requirements were adequate. Plat requirements were adequate. Check the side
setbacks for the existing home. There must be 8 feet from the overhangs to the property lines.
Regarding street requirements, access for lots 1 and 18 shall be restricted to the interior street.
No driveways shall access off Appleby Road. The existing gravel drive shall be removed once
construction is completed on the new street which will provide access to the house. Parking
requirements were adequate. Lot requirements were adequate. Are any entrance signs proposed?
If so, they need to be located on the plat. All utilities shall be located underground.
Warrick: Go ahead and label the side setbacks for the existing house. I'm worried about the
south side because it's kind of close. Are they measured from the overhang?
Brackett: Yes. The overhang is shown.
Brackett: Entrance signs really haven't been worked out quite yet.
Warrick: It would be nice to have the locations on the plat.
Brackett: There is a steep bank there and as we grade it we will have to look at it and tell
where it would feasible to put one. That's actually what we've been waiting for. The drive will
be at 4 percent.
Barnes. There will be a request for signage and whether it will be west or east of the
entry will depend on the grade.
Warrick: The right of way at the end of the culdesac needs to follow the right of way
around the bulb of the culdesac along the outer edge of the sidewalk This will be a future street
extension. We've talked about that and we have to go ahead and bubble it out. It will affect the
setbacks. There may be problem on lot 9.
• Conklin: Are you proposing that the street be built on private property?
•
•
Minutes of Plat Review
December 15, 1999
Page 14
Brackett: We could bubble it out around the curb and not go out as far as the sidewalk. If
you go out an additional 10 foot it would compromise building anything on lot 9. The sewer is
existing and it can't be moved.
Barnes. With the shape and size that we have now, we're kind of limited to what size
home we're able to build.
Warrick: They have 55 feet in width after you bulb the culdesac. It needs to follow the
right of way around the bulb of the culdesac along the outer edge of the sidewalk and also a sign
posted at the very end of the culdesac that states it is stubbed out for future street extension.
Perry has the information for those signs and can take care of that. It looks like the right of way
follows it and I remember that we talked about that and I think we need you to go ahead and
bubble it out because it will have to built at such time it is extended. It won't cause a problem on
lot 10 but it does make lot 9 pretty small.
Hesse: Could you modify the culdesac?
Brackett: That's possible.
Warrick: We were looking at it and we don't know if you would really want to place the
sidewalk on the private property. There is a liability issue with that.
Brackett: We'll do one or the other. The elevation is pretty drastic as it falls toward the
creek.
Conklin: As a compromise, other developers have gone to the board of adjustment in order
to get the house on the lot and they have requested a variance to reduce the front setback. I can't
guarantee you they will grant the variance but that is a possibility.
In order for this project to continue in the current review cycle, all requested revisions and
additional information must be added to the plat and 37 revised copies submitted to the Planning
Division no later than 10 a.m. on Wednesday, December 22, 1999.
Developers of all preliminary plats are required by City ordinance to provide notification to all
adjoining property owners of the upcoming Subdivision and Planning Commission meetings and
proof of said notification is required with revision submittals.
Mickey Jackson, Fire Chief
• Move the hydrant from the lot line of 10 and 11 over to the lot line of 11 and 12. Move the
hydrant from lot line 17 and 18 to the entrance of the development at the intersection of Appleby

Road.
Ron Petrie, Engineering
In general, 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 All corrections and/or additional
information are required to be provided no later than the standard deadline which is December 22
in order for this to continue.
Regarding water, the minimum easement or combination of right of way and easement widths for
water lines shall be 20 feet. Wider easements shall be required if the easement contains any
other utility An 8 inch or 12 inch water line is planned to be constructed on the north side of
Appleby Road as a part of the WRMC construction. Your proposed 8 inch water line should be
planned to connect to this future water line. The water line shown along Appleby Road can be
removed if fire hydrants are not required by the Fire Chief. The off site water line in the Quail
Creek Subdivision must be constructed 10 feet from the existing building footing. Additional
easements may have to be acquired. Fire protection and fire hydrant locations shall meet the
more stringent of the published water standards or the Fire Chief's request. Steel encasement is
required under box culverts and wing walls.
Brackett: Do you have a plan showing where that water line is?
Petrie. It's being reviewed. 1 don't have a final location for it yet. Just plan on crossing
it and snaking it.
Brackett: Will it be at the same location that he brought that hydrant there to the end of the
entrance? We're going directly north to tie in the tap.
Petrie: Possibly. You've got that culvert and head wall and you'll have to work around
that. Where ever you can get it across. Somewhere in that location would be fine.
Regarding sanitary sewer, the minimum easement or combination of right of way and easement
widths for water lines shall be 20 feet. Wider easements shall be required if the easement
contains any other utility or if the sewer line depth is greater than 10 feet. Provide truck access
to all manholes to maintain and clean the system per EPA regulations. The off site manholes
will have to be accessible by truck which could include a gravel drive or other suitable surface.
If the existing gravel drive is planned to remain and provide access, add a note to the plat that
states this drive must remain accessible at all times. Fences will be prohibited from crossing the
drive. Verify that the existing house will be connected to the public sewer. Steel encasement
will be required under box culverts and wing walls.

Petrie: Regarding the truck access to the manholes, I heard you say you would take the
driveway out. You don't necessarily need it through lots 1 through 3.
Brackett: That would keep us from having to build an additional drive off of this street to
the back. We could leave the drive in to access the manholes.
Conklin: Does that mean that there would be fences crossing the drive?
Petrie:
drive.
That's one of my comments. Fences will have to be prohibited from crossing the
Brackett: I doubt many people would try to cross it because once you get on the other side
of the drive, it drops off to nothing. No one will fence down the side of the ravine. It shouldn't
be a problem.
Conklin: Keep in mind that if you do leave that road there that most likely once there are
houses there the property owners will want to use it. Sometimes they've had some problems.
Brackett: Is there something we could do at the entrance of the existing drive?
Petrie: I'm not sure what's there now. If you could possibly put in a standard curb and
gutter there so they would have to jump the curb and gutter to get to it, that would prevent a lot
of people from using it but still give us the access. It also needs to be noted on the plat that it is
not access to the lots and that it can't be blocked. If that is what you choose to do, I don't have a
problem with it. Is the existing house planned to be connected to the sewer?
Barnes: It is. Yes.
Brackett: It is existing right now.
Petrie: It will have to be relocated.
Brackett: We'll have to relocate the service so it stays on the lot.
Petrie: How is this house being served by water?
Barnes: There is a meter that ties in off of Quail. We'll get a new meter.
Regarding grading, the preliminary grading plan is acceptable. A final grading plan is required
to be submitted and approved prior to beginning construction. Provide the Storm Water
Management, Drainage and Erosion Control Permit Application with the appropriate review fee.

Regarding drainage, the drainage easement on the south side of Lot 9 should be enlarged to be 15
feet in width. All pipes, open swales and channels outside of the street right of way are private
and will be privately maintained by the POA, I-IOA, or similar entity. The preliminary drainage
report was reviewed for general compliance and is acceptable as a preliminary report. A final
drainage report is required to be submitted and approved.
Petrie: The drainage easement on lot 9 needs to be 15 feet minimum. You may want to
consider making that 20 foot easement on lots 8 and 9 a 25 foot easement and you could do away
with that utility easement.
Regarding streets, the right of way at the culdesac should be enlarged to encompass all of the
street and the sidewalks.
Willie Newman, Waste Reduction Coordinator
No comment.
Utility Recommendations
Kevin Lefler, Cox Communications
The easements as shown are fine. We request one 4 inch conduit in the easement under the
culdesac between lots 9 and 10. We also request any other easements and considerations of the
electric company.
Bob Falk, Southwestern Bell Telephone
If you are going to leave the road in there, are these houses going to be fed from the street or
from the rear easement?
Barnes. I would hope from the rear easement.
Falk: If you have a road going through the utility easement and it takes up 90 percent of
the easement, you aren't going to have room for the utilities in there.
Warrick: It's a gravel drive. It's not paved.

Barnes: Could you work in the eastern part of that easement and lay the easement out in
such a way to keep the utilities in the eastern part of that drive?
Falk: The easement could start at the drive and go east.
Petrie: You have a 10 foot drive and a 20 foot utility easement.
Brackett: We will leave the easement as it is and we will add additional. We could align it a
little to the east which could be done fairly easily.
Johney Boles, Arkansas Western Gas
I have existing facilities in Quail Creek Subdivision and I'm showing on my records a service
stub out that comes out onto lot 12. Is that the service to the existing house?
Barnes: That is correct.
Boles: We'll need to relocate that and serve it behind lot 6 so we need to coordinate that.
There might be some quads on the end of this culdesac at the south edge. If not, we'll need 4,
schedule 40 pvc, under that.
Falk: Do you know how the phone service is going to the house?
Barnes. 1 do not.
Falk: If there is any cable hook on Appleby, it will need to be located and you'll have to
get with me on getting that lowered to come down the road.
Warrick: There are overhead lines on the north side of Appleby. We don't have comments
from the electric company, so you will need to contact them to get their comments.
Franklin: Are you showing a street light in the culdesac?
Brackett: Yes, there is a light in the right of way on the north side where the culdesac starts
turning.
Warrick: Should we get a guarantee for that section of sidewalk?
Rutherford: I don't see why not. We've done that on other projects.
Brackett: We could build it down the hill and to the creek. However you want that worked

out. It's not a major issue.
Rutherford: I'll go out and look at it and we'll work something out.

Utility Recommendation
Kevin Lefler Cox Communications
Easements appear to be in but need to be labeled. We request the same easements and
considerations as the electric company. Provide conduit crossings at every street location. There
is currently no cable in this area. The developer should contact me as soon as possible.
Bob Falk, Southwestern Bell Telephone
Who is buying this lot?
Ledbetter: CMSI.
Warrick: Management Systems, Inc. They're currently across the bypass in
Point Circle. We will have a large scale and the comments that were made for the phase 1
preliminary plat that we saw at the last plat review have been accommodated and processed.
Falk: I haven't had anybody contact me about needing fiber out there.
• Ledbetter: They haven't gone through large scale. The other lot split was just finalized.

They are adjacent to your station.
Falk: I still need them to contact us That's good. When we size the fibers coming out
of there we'll size them for the ultimate because we don't want to take individual cable back to
the hut for each customer. We'll put it all under one sheath. Do we have an address for this
other than lot 35.
Ledbetter: Do I need to keep you abreast of what I find out?
Falk: Try to keep me abreast on service dates. I'm in the dark on that.
Johney Boles, Arkansas Western Gas
