LSP 03-55.00: Lot Split (Red Robin, pp. 174) was submitted by Brent K. O'Neal of
McClelland Consulting Engineers on behalf of Alex Kanapilly for property located east
of the intersection at Van Asche and Mall Ave., Lot 17. The property is zoned C-2,
Thoroughfare Commercial and contains 18.25 acres. The request is to split the lot into
two tracts of 16.22 acres and 2.03 acres respectively.
Pate:
We are going to go ahead and start this morning. We have another long
agenda. I don't think everyone is here so we might have to skip around a
little bit. Is there anyone here for the first item, a Lot Split for
McDougall? We will not go over that one yet. We will come back to it.
The next Lot Split I don't think anyone is here for that either. Is anyone
here for the Red Robin? Ok, we will go over that one first. A lot of these
comments are going to go along with the Large Scale. I will go over the
Lot Split first and then we can go over the Large Scale comments. From
Planning, include adjacent and subject property zoning on the plat. Put the
plat page on the plat with the owner/developer information. What we
need to do since this is a split is I know the Preliminary Plat has gone
through and the road is being constructed but what we'll need to do is file
a temporary access easement for the width of the property from a public
right of way to provide access to that. We will need an access easement in
the file as well. That should be filed at the county. Just make sure that all
of the calls are coordinated with the Large Scale Development so we are
looking at the exact same information and the Lot Split will need to be
filed prior to the Large Scale being approved. That is basically all the
comments that we have from Planning. Matt, do you have any further
comments?
Matt Casey — Staff Engineer
Casey: No comment.
Pate: Utilities?
Craig Carnagey — Tree & Landscape Administrator
Carnagey: I have a comment. First of all on your landscape plan right in front you
show a row of 13 parking spaces.
Pate: This is just the Lot Split.
Carnagey: Ok.
Jim Sergeant — AEP/SWEPCO
Sergeant: There should be a utility easement shown there along the front of the
property.

I have the same comment as AEP. Is this middle lot 17C that is not
labeled?
I do believe so.
I want to make one more comment relating to that lot. I don't know if it
affects you or not. We came off of the east side of Mall Avenue and
extended across the Olive Garden property and ended our line at the
northeast corner. I have visited with Sweetser on several occasions. They
are attempting to make a cut down that property line for a driveway I
guess for shared access and we are going to have some conflict with
utilities at that location. I have received no request for any relocation.
Are you talking about the property line between 17A and 17D?
17A.
Ok.
That may apply to this lot as well, is that what you're saying?
I just need someone, if you are in this loop to let me know what they are
going to do. Apparently the shared driveway is coming off of 17A and
17C if I'm looking at that correctly and I know that there are power
transformers and everything else sitting right there right on that property
line.
They did contact me and I gave them an estimate to relocate my stuff but I
haven't heard anything back from them.
I have received no notification at all so you might just pass that on. If I
receive notification today they are probably two months out. That's the
reason I'm bringing it up. That's all I have. Thank you.
Larry Gibson — Cox Communications
Gibson: I have the same comments. We also end right there to service Olive
Garden so I need to be contacted also.
Sue Clouser — Southwestern Bell
Clouser: t agree with their comments. We have utilities there as well.

LSD 03-25.00: Large Scale Development (Red Robin, pp. 174) was submitted by
Brent K. O'Neal of McClelland Consulting Engineers on behalf of Alex Kanapilly for
property located east of the intersection at Van Asche and Mall Ave.; Lot 17D of Steele
Crossing. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and contains 2.03 acres.
The request is for the construction of a 2,656 sq. ft. restaurant with 125 parking spaces
proposed.
Pate:
O'Neal:
Pate:
We are going to do the Large Scale for Red Robin now. This is a Large
Scale Development for Red Robin for the same lot so I'm sure a lot of the
comments will be the same. Obviously, the lot is not currently a legal lot
of record so that's why we are going through the Lot Split. That does
need to be filed prior to Large Scale Development approval. If there is
any monument signage we need to see that in our elevations as well.
There is going to be a monument sign but we have been trying to find a
good location for it. That's why it was not reflected on the Large Scale
Development.
Ok, just with your revision if you could get that decision made and then
include those with revisions of your elevations. I have included in the
packet that you have the requirements for the signages in the Overlay
District. Monument signs can be a maximum of 6' tall and 75 sq.ft.
Again, just a reminder that the legal description needs to reflect the exact
description of the lot split so that everything is coordinated between these
two and we can process this simultaneously. If you could indicate the
dimensions from the centerline of Van Asche Drive there at the proposed
driveway. Indicate any easements as requested by utility representatives.
We actually have a formal setback reduction form if you could provide
that to us for the setback reduction along Fulbright there on the front from
50' to 25'. I included that information in there too. You can come by the
Planning office and pick up that form if you would like. Put a site
coverage note, you did pull those out but if you could break those into
percentages. Include a scale on the site plan. Proposed curb cuts utilize
shared drives approved by the Preliminary Plat. That is just a reference
back to this Preliminary Plat that has been approved for this lot and I think
you are utilizing those shared drives as shown on the plat. The curb cut
maximum length in the Design Overlay District is 200'. These are 175'
and they were approved with the Preliminary Plat. If you could just
provide a letter or a note or something stating that you want to coordinate
the same curb cuts, utilize the same curb cuts that are less than required
we can put that in our files. With required parking stalls, we realize a
Conditional Use request has been submitted and I do want to say that we
appreciate the letter you provided us. That was very informative and very
detailed. The parking lot facing the right of way needs to be screened with
a continuous row of shrubs. If you could include a note that lighting shall
utilize full cutoff fixtures, be shielded and directed downward and have a
Technical Plat Review
October 1, 2003
Page 7
height no greater than 35'. That is also part of the Design Overlay District
requirements which I included in your packet. Trash receptacles shall be
screened on three sides with access not visible from the street. The last
comment that I have is again, monument signage, indicate the location.
Currently the elevation drawings indicate three wall signs. By ordinance
you are only allowed two. This has two frontage on Van Asche, once
that's dedicated as right of way, and then on Fulbright so you are allowed
two wall signs with either 200 square feet or 20% of the wall area. I
recommend just removing one of those. It doesn't matter which front you
put those on. You can put those on any of the four wall faces you like.
Revised elevations, including signs, should be submitted with your
revisions on October 8`h. Matt?
Matt Casey — Staff Engineer
Casey:
I included our standard retaining wall comments in here. One additional
one, if you will label a few various points on the retaining wall the height.
That makes it easier for the Planning Commissioners to know what they
are looking at. Right now with the Preliminary Plat for the subdivision all
of the water on the south side goes to this culvert, which it needs to
continue to do. Your piping that you are discharging from this area, you
need to bring it out here to tie into this wing wall or this headwall structure
and not discharge directly onto 17E because when this development comes
through they are going to have to take care of your private storm drains so
if you can bring that over here and take it directly into the culvert. Also,
this comment didn't make it onto my sheet. There is flow right here
behind this proposed sidewalk on 17C that is going to come to this area
and there is no way to intercept that so you need to accommodate that flow
somehow . This entire lot will come to that area and then there is nothing
to catch it with the construction of that driveway there.
O'Neil: The flow in that swale is why we didn't locate the monument sign out
there because it was being used for drainage so we were looking at
different options. We do have to pick that up?
Casey:
Yes, catch that and bring it over to this post storm sewer. I did notice
when I made these comments, I assume this is some sort of flume out of
your parking lot?
O'Neil: Yes it is.
Casey:
I didn't catch that before, it looked like the water was flowing directly into
the street, which we need to avoid. You need to try to get everything to
this storm sewer as was proposed in the Preliminary Plat. The drainage
report indicated that there might be detention in the pipe, you need to
provide calculations for that. Reference the report for the Preliminary
Technical Plat Review
October 1, 2003
Page 8
Plat. They have accommodated for so much runoff for this lot in this
detention pond, we need to know if you are meeting that or if you are
exceeding it then detention will be required. We will need a formal design
for that. That's all I have.
Craig Carnagey — Landscape Administrator
Carnagey: The tree preservation plan has been approved for the entire Steele
Crossing Subdivision Lot 17. On your landscape plan, the parking lot
ordinance requires a tree island for every run of 12 spaces. On the front
you are showing more than 12.
O'Neil: Oh, I see because this is handicap.
Carnagey: Right. Then on the southwest corner you have a bank of parking of nine
spaces there and the ordinance does require a planting of trees and shrubs
along that. That's all I have.
Pate: Rebecca, do you have anything?
Ohman: No.
Pate: We will move onto utilities.
Jim Sergeant- AEP/SWEPCO
Sergeant: Right now we have a tapping cabinet back over by the northeast corner of
the Olive Garden. That is where we will serve this from. This print is
showing the transformer out near the street. I don't know if that is
actually where it is at or not but that's where it is showing. It does closer
to the building towards that location so at some point in time we need to
figure out where that goes in that location. Also, I would like to ask for a
conduit under this new drive that you are putting in between there and
17E.
Gibson: Six 4" would probably cover everybody.
Sergeant: We will need load and voltage information. That's all I have.
Johney Boles — Arkansas Western Gas
Boles:
That 20' easement on the south side of Van Asche, I want to make sure
I'm looking at this correctly. From the back of curb to the north edge of
the easement would be 20' behind the curb, is that correct? Because you
are showing a 14' greenspace and a 6' sidewalk?

The easement should be outside of the right of way.
The right of way is coming all the way back to the back of the sidewalk
isn't it?
Yes.
The north edge of the easement would be the south edge of the sidewalk
which is 20' back from curb?
Yes.
That's uncommon, that's why I was asking. I just wanted to clarify that.
It is a collector street right of way width and they are building it to local
street standards to 28' but the right of way will allow for a collector if they
need to put a turn lane in or anything like that. I think that's why it is such
a big area.
Ok, I just want to make sure we didn't get underneath it.
Didn't we already have a 20' utility easement along all of Van Asche?
Yes, it has been requested multiple times but it has never been shown.
I remember requesting it but I haven't seen it on anything yet.
I don't know that it was ever filed.
Every time that we have done a lot split on this we have asked for that
20'UE.
The Preliminary Plat that has been approved, once they bring that for the
Final Plat, that's when it will get filed.
We are also going to have to pull from the northeast corner of the Olive
Garden's lot, use those casings that we requested and the gas meter will be
located out in the greenspace at the street just like Olive Garden. That's
all I have. I will need load information on this at the time construction
begins please.

Gibson:
The crossings that Jim asked for are fine, the 4" crossings should cover
everybody I would like to get a 2" conduit from the northeast corner of
Technical Plat Review
October 1, 2003
Page 10
this property back to the building within approximately 3' of the electric
meter. Just turn both ends up and we will get in there. That's all I have.
Sue Clouser — Southwestern Bell
Clouser: I agree with the utility easements and the crossings. Those will be fine.
Be sure the conduits are in the utility easement rather than that right of
way and I would like to see two 3" conduits will pull strings from the
utility easements along the north to the building. You can place them
within 3' of the electrical transformer and then turn them up unless you
are going to have the telephone service into the building. You can do the
building conduit into a phone room in the building and in that case I will
need a #6 bare ground back to power. If there is any relocation or damage
to existing facilities that will be at the owner's expense and if you can
have them contact me when they get started I would appreciate it.
Pate: Ok, thank you.
Hunter: Can I ask a question?
Pate: Sure.
Hunter: One of the things is we have understood that the city wanted to preserve
these trees and we have been working with the city to do as much as
possible. We were hoping that in exchange for that we could have
leniency on the third sign.
Pate:
If you want to keep the third sign basically what we will have to do is the
Planning Commission will have to determine, it is non-compliant currently
with the Design Overlay District requirements. If you want to present
your case for that you are welcome to do so. Planning Commission will
make the determination regarding that and it may go to another board, the
Board of Sign Appeals that that would have to go through I believe. I will
check on that. It is in the Design Overlay District so it may just be a
Planning Commission determination but I can let you know if you need to
go to a second board as well.
Hunter: Do you want us to remove the sign now and then ask for it at Planning
Commission?
Pate: If you are requesting to keep it I would go ahead and keep it on there and
we will make a recommendation.

LSP 03-54.00: Lot Split (Cliff's Cabin, pp. 487) was submitted by Jerry Kelso of
Crafton, Tull, and Assoc. for property located on 2099 Cliffs Blvd. The property is
zoned RSF-4, Residential Single Family 4 units per acre and contains 36.77 acres. The
request is to split the lot into two tracts of 35.37 and 1.4 acres respectively.
Pate:
We are going to go back a little bit and go over item number two for the
Cliffs Cabin Lot Split. They are requesting to split off this lot for tax
purposes. This was required to be saved with the development of the
Cliffs This will have to go through a Conditional Use as well to be
approved by the Planning Commission and they have submitted
everything required for that. Tandem lot development is limit4ed to single
family use.
Kelso: It will all remain the same, they are just taking the cabin off of there for
tax purposes.
Pate:
Just some basic comments Jerry, include adjacent zoning. Add the plat
page. Include Cliffs Blvd. and other streets identified on the Master Street
Plan on the vicinity map. Include setbacks for the tandem lot. We will
need the correct ownership dedication block for that access easement
because they will have to dedicate that access easement. That is all from
Planning. Do you guys have any further comments? Ok, utilities?
Jim Sergeant — AEP/SWEPCO
Sergeant: No comment.
Johney Boles — Arkansas Western Gas
Boles: I think I recall you writing an easement between building 124 and 154
over to the cabin.
Kelso: I think we did.
Boles: Do you think that should be shown on here? If it is not necessary that's
fine, I just want to make sure that it's a matter of record.
Kelso: I do remember getting that recorded.

LSD 03-36.00: Large Scale Development (Meyers Learning Center, pp. 212/213) was
submitted by Steve Clark of Clark Consulting on behalf of Meyer's Pediatric Learning
Center for property located at 3419 Plainview Ave. The property is zoned C-2,
Thoroughfare Commercial and contains 1.48 acres. The request is to construct a 13,000
Sq. Ft. educational facility
Pate:
We will go ahead and move down to item five now. It is a Large Scale
Development for Meyers Learning Center. Suzanne will be handling this
one.
Morgan: Building elevations need to be submitted.
Clark: Yes, I've been after the architect for ten days now but they are coloring
them today so we're there.
Morgan: Ok. A materials board is highly recommended.
Clark: But it is not required?
Pate: It is not by ordinance but we have had instances in the past where the
Planning Commission has said we're going to table you until we can see
some material samples because they want to know the colors and types of
materials you're using.
Clark: I know it is a requirement in the Overlay District but since this isn't in the
Overlay District it is not a requirement. I will pass that onto the architects.
Pate: If they want to plead their case and take that chance they can do that.
Clark: That's not my job, I'm the engineer side of it. Is that in your comments?
Morgan: Yes. If you could label the adjacent zoning as well as the adjacent
property owners on the plat. On the vicinity map if you could include the
Overlay District boundaries on that.
Clark: Ok.
Morgan: Then label the right of way from centerline. These are all written
comments. Also, regarding the building, if I could get the building height.
Plainview Avenue is a collector street which requires 70' not 50'.
Clark: Ok, is that the way it was originally platted?
Morgan: That is what the Master Street Plan indicates.
Technical Plat Review
October 1, 2003
Page 14
Clark: I am not arguing, I am just asking are we going to have to dedicate
additional right of way?
Pate: Yes, 35' from centerline.
Morgan: Lot 15 to the north when that went through for the Preliminary Plat cross
access needed to occur from the north so that it going to be a requirement.
Clark: I don't have an issue with that but you know that's where they are putting
the dumpsters.
Pate: We will have to address that.
Clark: Again, I saw that and I appeared that that was the intent there but I'm not
sure and I will double check I think it is 22' and not 24' and I think that it
is the grades on it are going to be such that you are going to be going
down and then flat. Functionally it is not going to work very well. It
looks like whoever did that one didn't do a real good job in planning how
the future access was actually going to function. Is there any, again, I can
do it. It is not an issue at all from my perspective. As a matter of fact I
looked at that and thought do I want to but functionally it ain't going to
work very good.
Pate: We can take a look at it.
Clark:
Again, it is one of those things that you all say let's do it, I can make it
work but what's going to happen is it isn't going to be a very good
driveway. People won't use it.
Morgan: We'll address that but just to let you know that was a requirement. In your
letter that was submitted you mentioned outdoor play area, if you can
identify where that is going to be and also if you could identify the
purpose of the dashed lines north of the proposed building.
Clark: Ok.
Morgan: The parking requirement for 210 children and 26 staff is 36 parking spaces
and 2 accessible spaces.
Clark: I still will have plenty. I just need to change my numbers here. How do
you arrive at that because I didn't know how the beck you guys were
getting that. According to daycare requirements it was 1 per 1,500 plus
overflow.
Pate: Ordinance requirements are basically one per four.

One per four employees, is that it? I remember daycare is different than
schools. School requirements are different. I am not arguing, we've got
the parking and it is great because it justifies our numbers.
One per employee plus onsite loading and unloading spaces at a rate of
one per ten children accommodated so it is one per 10 children
accommodated.
You have changed that then from what I have because for childcare it was
one per 1,500 plus overflow is the way it was stated. Do you mind
reading that again?
Sure. It is one per employee plus onsite loading and unloading spaces at a
rate of one per 10 children.
That is also in the staff report.
Oh, what a good job you've done.
Thanks. The second item, it's on page three.
Are we through with this?
Yes. Another item for parking is this comment. It seems from the intent
of the use of the building that children with disabilities will be here
receiving physical therapy and wheelchairs are needed. There will be
children in wheelchairs there and so because of that we are going to have
to abide by the 10% of total parking need to be accessible stalls.
What is that again?
The ordinance is right here on page five.
Do you have a copy of the Unified Development Code Steve?
I don't think I do.
It is online at accessfayetteville.org.
That is my problem, I'm working from old stuff. I will review that and
comment if we have a problem with it but I don't think we will.
10% would be about four.

It may squeeze me because I don't know that I can find enough space for
two more parking places but I will look at it. If it becomes an issue I will
argue my point.
This is shown as future parking.
That is for future. I guess I can always put it in there but for some reason
they were talking about moving the building north by 10' because of some
childcare issues and I don't know exactly what and if so we were going to
end up losing some of those spaces.
You could also utilize some of the existing parking as accessible spaces.
But the width of them increases.
Right so you would have to increase that by 5' and lose a space.
I can share these I guess and then I only need 2', I can find 2', yes, that
works. I can do it.
If you could also show the curb cut to the north, I know there is one to the
north and to the south just kind of see where those fall. Staff is wondering
about traffic flow with loading and unloading children will work and
where that will happen.
It will happen at the front door. This will be employee parking back here,
primary employee parking, and this will be the drop off area. I don't want
to make an absolute commitment because there are people who know
better than me how childcare circulation works. Presumably they would
come in here, drop off and then leave this way. That is the obvious way.
Ok. Also, locate any signs proposed.
I don't know where that is but I did show a small sign somewhere kind of
ground mounted at that point.
Ok. Also, if you would finally just indicate what type of fencing will be
used.
Ok, you mean where I show it around here?
Yes. Ok, those are all of Planning's comments. Matt?

Casey: Steve, if you can label one of these sheets grading plan I think this one
was intended to be grading plan wasn't it?
Clark: Yeah, it is everything, Large Scale Development, Grading, Tree
Preservation.
Casey: If you can put that on there.
Clark: It has to have the word grading on it too?
Casey: Yes.
Clark: Ok.
Casey: All of the grading must be setback 5' from the property line. Some of
these comments Suzanne just made. If you can just show the location of
the existing water line along Plainview, I think it cuts over to the other
side at this location. The sidewalk that is shown, is that existing?
Clark: I don't believe so.
Casey: Ok, I just need to clarify that.
Clark: I don't think there is sidewalk there but if there is.
Casey: I haven't been out there to check.
Clark: Let me ask a question because you are about to kill us on the additional
right of way. If I have to do an additional 10' of right of way and my 15',
when was this added to the Master Street Plan?
Pate: The Master Street Plan was adopted in 1996.
Clark: It's been on there that long?
Pate: Yes.
Casey: It will take approval from the city council for a lesser dedication.
Clark: I guess what brought that up is if we are going to dedicate an additional
10' of right of way then the sidewalk that I've shown needs to shift back
to that new right of way location am I correct on that?
Casey: Yes.

Clark: Ok, now I'm sorry, go ahead.
Casey: You are showing that the west half of the site goes to this corner but there
is not anything shown as far as discharge. We need some information on
that and where it is going.
Clark: It is going to go down that ramp between me and that point.
Casey: That thought crossed my mind too so we are going to have to get some
clarification there. Also, it looks like there is a little bit of flow here and it
looks like it is going to be dumping off on this retaining wall. I need some
information about where this is going.
Clark: Actually, this is where it is going to sort of go today. It is just going to
sort of go over there and disappear.
Casey: I just need some information there to know how that's going to be
accepted. The other half of the site you are showing to go right into the
street. We need to collect it somehow and put it into the storm sewer
instead of bouncing it right into the gutter because currently we are not
getting anything right there.
Clark: Currently we've got the fire department that's dumping onto us. I don't
know if you all knew that.
Casey: I saw these pipes here.
Clark: They have just chosen to dump it out onto me. I don't know that I grade
wise can get past the sanitary sewer and into the storm sewer. I looked at
it at one time up in here trying to make it work and I don't know that I can
do that physically.
Casey: You can always bring it back down to here and pipe it from here.
Clark: I can carry it all around here and dump it onto this guy which seems to be
the method that they have used to address drainages to carry it all internal
just to dump it on the guy that is downstream of you.
Casey: That's what we're trying to avoid. We are wanting to get that out into the
storm sewer somehow.
Clark: The only way I know to do it is to put it out onto the street quite honestly.
Casey: You will have to provide calculations to show that that doesn't exceed our
spread on the street.

Clark: I have kind of got my hands tied in that the methodology that was
apparently used when this subdivision was developed was to dump it on
the guy downstream and I am trying to avoid putting more water over here
and causing flooding or potential flooding of the parking lot.
Casey:
Clark:
Casey:
Clark:
Casey:
That is why we are asking for some more information here because we
may need some offsite drainage to carry that.
It is parking Tots, that's the way they are doing it. Everybody dumps it
onto their neighbor's parking lot.
That may have been how they did it at the time but we can't do that now.
If provisions weren't made for that downstream when the subdivision was
developed then we don't have any choice but to continue to follow that
same pattern.
I disagree. The bottom line is if we are going to take it out to Plainview
we are going to have to take it in storm sewer. This that's coming down
here we are going to have to know where it is going and what it's dumping
into and make sure there's not any damage down stream. If you can't do
that then we will have to, even though this is CMN Phase I and no
detention is required, we may have to do that to limit that.
Clark: When did the fire station go in? It is one of those things that each and
every person, the fire department has dumped their water that used to
probably go out here to the street, moved it around the building and
dumped it right here at point source. I am trying to avoid taking their
water and dumping it on the guy downstream by taking it back to your
system.
Casey: We need to make sure that where you're dumping it is going to be able to
handle it.
Clark: Why didn't somebody make sure that that was going to happen when the
fire department came on? You can't come back in after the fact and try to
make them handle the city's water too, that's not fair.
Casey: Yes we can.
Clark: It's not fair.
Casey: I'm sorry, we have to take care of things as they come up. I wasn't
involved in the fire station review and I'm not sure when that came

You can have your tree protection fencing shown over in the legend.
There may be a couple questions about the trees and about maybe some in

On the landscape plan, the first comment X that because provisions were
already made with the CMN Business Park. I just need a complete
landscape plan that indicates all of the requirements for parking lot
landscaping and I need you to provide a checklist after the meeting if you
like or fax it to you. It is just some notes and some minor things that need

I think it is going to have a little bit of space up on the second floor, they
have some storage in it.
If it is going to be storage I'm not going to worry about it. That will be
fine if you will just tum this up and make sure it sweeps up on the ends so

LSD 03-35.00: Large Scale Development (Brandon Mall, pp. 135) was submitted
Brian Moore on behalf of Brandon Mall for property located at the northeast corner of the
Northwest Arkansas Mall on Zion rd. The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare
Commercial and contains 1.78 acres. The request is to develop a 28,350 sq. ft. office
building.
Pate: The next item on the agenda is a Large Scale Development for Brandon
Mall. Can you state your name for the record please?
Moore: Brian Moore with Engineering Services.
Pate: Thank you. Planning comments first. For this sign here we will need to
see color elevations. Revisions for the Subdivision Committee need to
include a 24x36 color board for elevations.
Moore: I thought we turned that in already.
Pate: If changes are necessary, signage will be the same thing. Of course the
lots are currently be split out and will need to be approved and filed with
the county prior the issuance of any permit. On page three, just a
recommendation to maybe save some space and maybe help with some
later tree preservation comments. You can utilize 17' stalls here and
increase the amount of greenspace to allow for 2' overhang over the
greenspace, that lessens the impervious surface coverage there. Trash
receptacles need to be screened on three sides with access not visible from
the street. I talked with Craig on this comment as well. Typically we
require a buffer here, a 15' landscape buffer off the right of way line but
because this is all forested and there are thick trees here we aren't going to
require that so it's a waiver. Staff is in favor of what you have shown
there. Mechanical equipment on the wall, roof or ground needs to be
screened by incorporating screening into structure utilizing materials
compatible with the supporting building. It needs to look like it is part of
the building, not just screened. That's pretty much all of the comments
that Planning has. Matt?
Matt Casey — Staff Engineer
Casey: I don't have any comments. Everything looked really good. Tom does a
good report, tell him that. I like his work.

Moore: I understand.
Craig Carnagev — Landscape Administrator
Carnagey: Speaking of being on top of a hill with a creek down flow from you. You
guys are taking quite a bit of trees out of there that are high priority
canopy. At the last Tech Plat I requested that we get together and talk
about how we can incorporate some of these trees in the parking lot
design. That comment stands, I would like to meet with you and see what
we can do to increase the canopy I think there is some wiggle room and
as Jeremy mentioned, some of your stalls don't need to be quite as long
which will help a little. I am also going to need a mitigation proposal for
any removal of tree canopy that meets the requirements outlined in the tree
preservation ordinance. No mitigation trees are able to be used for your
parking lot landscaping requirements. You show quite a few mitigation
trees being used in that situation. As far as your landscape plan, I need a
complete landscape plan so if we can get together on that as well I can get
you a check list. I think there should've been one handed to you at the last
Tech Plat.
Moore: Ok. I have been out of town.
Carnagey: There are quite a few notes and details that are missing. As far as that
landscape buffer that Jeremy is referring to, that will need to be approved
by the Planning Commission but I am willing to make that
recommendation.
Moore: That is existing right now. With the curb that's existing we are not going
to redo anything that's there.
Carnagey: It is just something that the Planning Commission will have to make the
final decision on but like Jeremy said, we are willing to make that
recommendation. That's all I have.

Phipps: We had the old Shoney's. I will have to look at it but I think that overhead
power line is probably a transmission line. I can't remember where we
served the old Shoney's from. Wherever it was, we are going to need a
20' easement through the transformer wherever they are going to locate it.
Moore: Ok, that's not a problem.
Phipps: I will have to go by and look at it and give you a call.
Moore: That will work.
Johney Boles — Arkansas Western Gas
Boles: What about this 25' blanket easement, where did you discover that?
Moore: I don't know, I was not here when it was prepared.
Boles: I know that on the west side of North College I believe we have got a 6"
steel line that used to be high pressure but was converted to intermediate
several years ago. I am thinking that that line is further east than you are
showing the blanket easement but I could be mistaken on that because I
think it is just west of the highway.
Moore: I will get it.
Boles:
Actually, just for your information, this is going to be in Dairy's work
territory. Joyce Street is our dividing line. You might let Dairy know
what, if anything, we need to go with the existing service. I believe it is
up against the building, that's all I have.

Moore: Can we pull this further to the west?
Gibson: It's possible. I would have to go over there and see where we have a
pedestal. We do have some underground through there and I am thinking
we do have one to the west before it comes back up and goes overhead.
Moore: That's what I'm going to need to do because that's not part of our

Single Family 4 units per acre and contains 3.01 acres. The request is to split the lot into
two tracts of 1.96 acres and 1.04 acres respectively.
Pate: We are going to go back to item one which is a Lot Split before we go to
the final larger items.
Morgan: Planning comments are the following: Label the adjacent and subject
property on the plat. Include the plat page number, which is 398. Vicinity
map needs to reflect the Master Street Plan. There is a planned street that
comes through here and then Rupple Road extends further south. Also,
we have legal descriptions for the proposed lots but we need a legal
description for the existing lot. Also, if you could label the centerline and
the associated right of way to make that a little more clear on where that
centerline is and then the right of way. Label all of the setbacks from the
existing structures and finally, show the street names on the plat. Those
are all of the Planning comments I have. Matt?
Matt Casey — Staff Engineer
Casey:
Your surveyor will need to show the location of the existing water and
sewer lines and the approximate locations of the taps for the sewer line
and where your water meter is. The reason we ask for that, I show on our
maps that there may be a tap coming out of this manhole which may be in
the northern part, it will be on the split part of the lot. Regulations
prohibit that sanitary sewer services cross property lines so you may need
to come down here and get another tap to tie into your house to prohibit
that from happening. That tap can still be used for this house back here so
it is not going to be wasted. It is the same thing with the water line. I am
not sure where your water line is. If you could show that.

LSD 03-38.00: Large Scale Development (Stearns Apartments, pp. 136) was
submitted by Jerry Kelso of Crafton, Tull, and Assoc. on behalf of Stearns Street
Apartments Limited Partnership for property located at the southwest corner of Vantage
Dr. and Zion Rd. The property is zoned RMF -24, Residential Multi -family 24 units per
acre; and R-0, Residential Office and contains 23 acres. The proposal is to construct a
276 unit apaitment complex.
Pate:
We will move on to Stearns Apartments. Jerry, do you want to come up?
I will go over Planning's comments first. Please provide documentation
authorizing Mr. Lindsey to sign as the owner of the property. If you have
a deed or something you could provide a copy to us just saying that he is
authorized to represent Stearns Street Apartments Limited Properties.
Also, when we did a property search it showed that James and Mary Ray
and Don and Debra Harris are also owners in this property. I am not sure
if they are partnering with Mr. Lindsey or if he has bought that and it has
not been filed with the county yet.
Kelso: He has purchased it all.
Pate:

Kelso:

We just need to make sure we have that documentation that he can sign for
all of the property involved. A Conditional Use obviously was approved
back in April for a portion of this property to be utilized as multi -family
with specific conditions placed upon the applicant at that time including
additional requirements for off site and on site improvements, sidewalk
installation and architectural facades and things that we talked about
earlier on the phone. I included the minutes here in your packet. If you
want to look over those and get back with us. Basically, the elevations
submitted, the Planning Commission will have to make a determination if
this is meeting that condition or not. As staff we can make a
recommendation but the Planning Commission will determine that if this
meets that condition. That is why I have included those minutes for you
and at the beginning of Technical Plat just make you aware that that is
going to be an issue that needs to be addressed.
Is that something that we need to get with staff beforehand?
It's probably advisable considering some of the discussion that we have
had in the recent past.
Ok. We have read the minutes and I think we can take care of what's
required based upon what the minutes say.
Ok. It probably would be a good idea to visit with staff and talk about that
sometime in the next week. Basic plat requirements, include the plat page,
indicate any Master Street Plan streets on the vicinity maps. Label the
building heights to verify the building setback. Indicate percentage of site

coverage with impervious surface. Stearns Street is extended as an off site
improvement with this development. Vantage Drive is proposed to be
constructed with boulevard cross sections all the way up to Zion here.
It doesn't go all the way to Zion, we have to transition back into the
existing. That's all we could do working with the adjacent property
owners and we have worked with Matt on that.
The interior collector street is on the Master Street Plan. Obviously, it
requires 70' of right of way. Staff is in support of what you have
dedicated, the 50' for the construction of the standard 28' cross section
with 50' of right of way. If you could write us a statement in letter form
requesting a Master Street Plan amendment and why basically. A number
of factors are involved with this including Stearns Street extension down
off site. I think that is a big plus. Staff is in support of that at this time.
One recommendation I would have on this boulevard section here we
might want to investigate doing some boulevard cuts so we can allow for
traffic. Any intersection that's applicable. Here, here, here.
Kelso: There is nothing there right now. There is a proposed street where right of
way is dedicated.
Pate:
Kelso:
Casey:
That is just something we may want to look at, feasibility if that is still on
the Master Street Plan we probably want to plan for that. On page three,
we will want to investigate the street connection to the west later with this
commercial development. Right now this is a through street and
obviously, this is not part of this project but it will need to be constructed
as a through street with future development of that parcel. Just to let you
know up front that we will be looking at that. If we could include a note
saying that lighting will again, utilize full cut off fixtures be shielded and
directed downward, that is a standard note for any parking lot lighting in
the city. Trash receptacles need to be screened on three sides and should
not be visible from the right of way. Signage needs to comply with
ordinance requirements. Those are just standard comments. If you could
include a materials sample board along with your elevations that you
submit including building materials, colors, etc. That is really all we have.
For Subdivision Committee we will need the full 24x36 elevations to
display them to the public and the Commissioners.
One question on the sidewalk. It was our intent just to install sidewalks
through our property and adjacent to our property. I don't think it was our
intent to install sidewalks for the off site street improvements.
We are going to recommend that it go to the north. I wasn't aware that the
streets were going to be extended to the south until late. Are you all going
to propose an additional development to the south there north of Stearn?
Technical Plat Review

Kelso:
There will be eventually but you know, we don't know what is going to go
on and whenever that happens you are going to have a Large Scale and
have to require sidewalks for that at that time. Our intent is just to make
the connections for the street.
Casey: I would like to get with Chuck Rutherford on that.
Kelso: That would be our request. That's what we are asking.
Casey: At the minimum we are going to ask that it be extended up to Zion.
Kelso: I think that is doable. It is just a lot more expense when you are not
developing.
Casey: Jerry, a lot of these comments are not required in the Preliminary. I went
ahead and looked at some of the final requirements but those don't have to
be done before revisions of Subdivision Committee.
Kelso: Do I need to highlight what has to be done?
Casey: I am going to hit some of the highlights here. A lot of these you are
familiar with from the other Lindsey developments. The building setback
is 100' from the pond so you will need to request a waiver from that. We
are also going to recommend, like Southern View, that a safety fence be
put around that. Also, the maximum allowed retaining wall height is 10'
so you will either need to terrace that or request a waiver from the
Planning Commission for that excess in height.
Fugitt: What's the height around that detention pond?
Kelso: 4' is what we have done before.
Casey: We don't have a requirement for that, it is just something that we
recommend.
Kelso: 4' wrought iron is what we have been doing. It is attractive and yet you
still don't have something too tall.
Casey: Is that what you put out on Southern View?
Kelso: We don't have anything right now. I think that was the intent.
Casey: Just something to try to deter the kids from playing. If you can show the
outfall structure from the pond on the grading plan and how that will be
piped. Also, the storm sewer pipes will need to convey the 100 -year storm

to the pond. The excess flow designed to go to the pond cannot bypass the
pond.
I think there is only one spot where we have that problem.
We have already talked about the sidewalks, they need to be 6' sidewalks
located at the right of way. The sidewalk needs to be continuous through
your driveway here on the north entrance. The minimum intersection
radius is 30', you are showing 25' here.
I don't know, I didn't see anything on the Master Street Plan. We will
look at that. We probably need to put that on there.
I recall that as 25' so you need to increase that to 30'. The rest are
required grading checklist items that need to be added to the final
submittal.
Kelso: Ok.
Casey: That's all I have.
Pate: Craig?
Craig Carnagey — Landscape Administrator
Carnagey: Jerry, we talked yesterday but the minimum canopy requirement for this
site is 20%, you guys are going from 47% of the site down to 16% and I
need for you to try to find any way you can to get up to that 20% in order
for me to recommend it to the Planning Commission.
Kelso: We have got as far as mitigation we can't use that?
Carnagey: The ordinance is pretty explicit about preservation being the top priority
and we do have some high priority canopy in here, medium to high
priority and some canopy slopes. I don't have a basis to justify a reason
for coming down below 20% on this site. If you give me one that's fine
but the one that we talked about yesterday basically I don't think will
work. That is for the Planning Commission to determine.
Kelso:
Some of the things that we have to consider on this one is we have a
public street that we had to build through the middle, which is on the
Master Street Plan. We are building a boulevard instead of just a 36' so
that takes up more room. You have got the utility lines running through it
which has canopy in it. If you start adding all of that you are going to be
at 20% or greater.

Carnagey: According to the ordinance that isn't able to be calculated for.

parking in front of building 16 that has a lot greater than 12 spaces without

Phipps: Yes, it is a big line.
Kelso: Matt, I think some of our contours are bad in that spot.
Phipps: That being a 69KV regulations between the width between poles and our
clearance above ground is real important that we keep that.
Kelso: The only thing that we might do is some of the ground may be cut under
it. That pole right there the contours got messed up, our intent was not to
mess with that particular pole. I guess it would be just west of that pole
there may be a little cut underneath it.

Steve, if you could label one of these grading plan. The proposed access

28' back to back but the improvements are only shown on the south side
as far as curb.

proposing a new street there.
Casey: That is a bit different than what I remember from the last time this came
through. I thought the entire street was going to be constructed there.
Clark:
Casey:
No, that street exists. We talked at one time about vacating that easement
or vacating the street right of way totally for that section but the police or
fire or somebody thought that they wanted to keep that as an access. Right
now as it exists it is a very narrow but chipped sealed street.
Ok, I will have to check on that from our previous minutes. I remember
that the other way. A lot of these are just standard comments. We need
access ramps constructed here at the corner of Fourth and Washington
from that sidewalk. Can you add the flow line of this existing pipe that
you are going to be tying into? Ok, you've got it.
Clark: I need to get it on the grading plan.
Casey: If you don't mind. We will need you to add the finished floor elevations
of the existing building and the proposed building to compare with the
100 -year water surface elevation and the pond area.
Clark: I see them on here.
Casey: I need to get that sheet. We will need to label those 100 -year water
surface elevations. A floodplain reference should be on the grading plan.
Also, this large area here is not accounted for in the drainage report. If
you can revise your areas to include that and show where that's going.
Morgan: I just wanted to note that there is an existing right of way along the
property that is requested to be vacated.
Clark: It is being processed. I have got sign offs from all of the utility
companies. It is the adjoiners now that I'm getting those and the deadline
is Monday.
Casey:
I was working on that yesterday. Our water and sewer superintendent had
a lot of concerns with vacating that through there. What we are requesting
is that it be vacated as right of way but everything except what is located
on the building be rededicated as easements.
Clark: I don't think we have a problem at all with that. My question is though I
don't think his facilities are falling in that.

Casey: He is looking at it for future, rehabbing this area. He has provided some
comments.
Clark:
We swapped messages that he had sent you all something. I have not got
a copy of what it is but I don't think we have a problem with leaving it as
easement at all.
Casey: I think it will accomplish both purposes.
Clark: It let's us put our parking lot on it and it gets the right of way out of the
building. We probably want to set 5' from the building or something with
the easement and come around the building.
Morgan: Ok. Craig?
Craig Carnage)/ — Landscape Administrator
Carnagey: Steve, as you currently show the design right here in the tree islands, there
are a couple of trees where you are encroaching a little too much into the
critical root zone of those trees so we are not going to allow you to qualify
those as preservation. That being said, I went down there and took a look
at some of the trees and there are a couple of them that I have concerns
about becoming hazard trees anyway. There is this 15" silver maple
multiple trunk, in order to preserve that in a parking lot I think that you
might be asking for trouble down the line or pretty quickly after this
construction goes in. I don't want to see any hazard trees placed in the
parking lot so I think you need to reconsider these islands.
Clark: Just take them out?
Carnagey: The 20" maple and the 12" maple are in fair condition if you want to try to
reconfigure this design to preserve their critical root zone. Right now I
think the 20" maple is fairly well covered. The other few tree is what I
was mostly concerned about. The multiple trunk silver maple should
definitely come out. Obviously, your canopy calculations are going to
change some but I just noticed a few errors in the calculations so you need
to double check on that.
Clark:
I guess the issue that I'm going to have that is going to come up now is
where do I put replacement canopy? There are a few areas but all of this
area that we might have used up here on the north side is now going to
become a utility easement. I can stick a shit load of trees in places but it is
not going to look particularly attractive. I don't have room to mitigate
particularly.
Technical Plat Review

Carnagey: Right, and there are provisions in the ordinance for that as well and we can
talk about that. On the landscape plan it looks like you've got some areas
where spacing is a little bit further than what's required by the ordinance.
It is 30 linear feet for trees along the right of way and as well as the line of
shrubs. Right now you are showing them spaced a little too far apart.
Clark: I thought I had the trees, are there some that you think are more than 30'?
Carnagey: Yes there are. You have a couple of runs of parking spaces over 12 spaces
that will be used for tree islands. Include a landscape plan, the same
comments as we spoke of in your previous project. There are a lot of
notes and details that need to be placed on the landscape plan.
Clark:
If we have to take out the tree or have to add more spaces I'm afraid that
when I start looking at the 40 sq.ft. we are probably going to have to take
out all of the trees and completely asphalt this whole thing. I don't see
that we are going to have much choice probably. I am real tight on
parking as it is. I thought you were allowed to have the islands running
lengthwise through.
Carnagey: A tree line every 10 spaces.
Clark: Not an island for the trees but in between parking bays that doesn't count
is that right?
Carnagey: No, these are fine right here if that is what you're referring to.
Clark: I know those, I'm talking about if you have between bays of parking.
Carnagey: Ok, that's all of my comments.

Sergeant: Yes, except for whatever you can't get there because of the existing
building. We've got one pole that you are showing there to be relocated.
The owner will have to pay for any relocation cost. You show a couple of

Boles:
Steve, you have shown the existing services on the northwest corner of the

the south at that location is that right? I wouldn't think that they would
want an additional service.
Probably not. If the meter and line serving it will be adequate.
The line size will be adequate but the meter will not be based on load
information and physical dimensions and size of the increase. The
downstream pressure of the meter may also increase so if they could have
someone contact me about load information. That's all I have.

This AEP/SWEPCO pole that is going to be relocated, we are also on that.
If you would just notify us when they get ready to go out and start their

Willow Street, it will actually be the southeast corner of the property so I
don't think there will be any problem there. That should be greenspace

Yes.
I have a couple more comments. All utilities must be placed underground
if it is below 12KV.
Do you know what the load is, that is over 12KV isn't it?
From what I remember, that pole is service to the church only. I am not

LSD 03-37.00: Large Scale Development (Fayetteville Athletic Club, pp. 138) was
submitted by Jorgensen and Assoc. on behalf of Bob Shoulders for property located at
2920 E. Zion Rd. The property is zoned C-1, Neighborhood Commercial, and R-0,
Residential Office. The proposal is to construct a 10,800 sq. ft. gymnasium, a 2,550 sq.
ft. tennis pro shop and 6 full size tennis courts.
Pate:
Three more items. Item number ten is a Large Scale Development for
Fayetteville Athletic Club submitted by Jorgensen. Planning comments,
as you are probably very well aware, the zoning on this property is split
between C-1 and R -O and the Conditional Use is in process. It will go
concurrent and will have to be approved just prior to Large Scale
Development so it will be heard at the same Planning Commission
meeting. Plat comments, you need to add the plat page to your site plan.
Just remove that note off of the bicycle racks. Include site coverage
percentages on the site plan as a percentage number if you could. Matt
will go over street improvements that we are going to recommend. Craig
will also go over any landscape comments. I know that we have worked
with the Conditional Use to provide for additional parking lot islands as
required when you do a Large Scale Development in conjunction with
existing development. There is a certain percentage and that methodology
is left up to the developer. I think we are pretty happy with what we've
seen so far as far as interior islands. If we could just put a note stating that
any parking lot lighting needs to utilize full cut off fixtures shielded and
directed downward. Trash receptacles need to be screened on three sides
with access not visible from a public street. This existing dumpster here is
probably going to need to be relocated. The trash trucks will tear the
sidewalk up so you probably need to locate that somewhere else. You can
coordinate that with Solid Waste. A space for that will need to be
screened when you do relocate that. If you have additional signage you
need to indicate that. Any utilities need to be placed underground. If you
could submit a materials sample board and then by Subdivision
Committee deadline full color elevations. This does fall within
commercial design standard guidelines for the commercial structure. The
only comment I had about that are the large, blank, unarticulated wall
surfaces need to be avoided on the west elevation and the east elevation.
Specifically, the elevations of the gymnasium are pretty unarticulated,
granted it is a gym. I think there are some improvements architecturally I
think you can do to help with that since there is going to be traffic right
there on it and it will be very visible from public right of way as well so if
you could help articulate that a little bit more whether it is a full facade or
different materials or something. That is the bulk of our comments from
Planning. Matt, do you want to go over your comments?

Other than that, the only comments that I have are our standard retaining

additional comments.
Pate: Craig?
Craig Carnagey — Landscape Administrator
Carnagey: On the southwest corner are you guys moving canopy out of there?
Hafemann: We are removing two elm trees which forgive me, I think there was a
layer not left on for the plotting of this sheet. There are two elm trees
right in the center of that new parking lot in the southwest corner, elm
trees that are to be wiped out. The only grading to the canopy will be for
the detention pond so it is down there in the low. As much of the canopy
that we can salvage we are. That's why we are showing the tree
protection fencing around it.
Carnagey: I just need you to add the canopy table.
Hafemann: I have the canopy table. It is approximately 30%.
Carnagey: Anything you remove below the minimum you will need a mitigation
method.
Hafemann: Right, 20% is the low.
Carnagey: Ok. As far as the landscape plan, I need a continuous row of shrubs
located between the parking lot and the street right of way. I wasn't
absolutely certain if it was these little black dots.
Hafemann: Yes, they show up. It is in the legend as a shrub. It is 40 scale so it is
small to see.
Carnagey: The symbol is a little different in the legend than what's on the drawing.
If you could make that a continuous line of shrubs.
Hafemann: How many shrubs do you want between each tree?
Technical Plat Review
October 1, 2003
Page 42
Carnagey: Just a continuous row is what the ordinance calls out. There are a bunch
of other notes that need to be included on the landscape plan. It is in the
manual, I can show you where it is instead of me going down and reading
each one. I can either talk to you afterwards or just give you the manual
and let you see what's required. The only other question I have is about
planting trees on this eastern edge of the parking lot. I would like to take a
look into that. I know it is going to require Highway Department approval
but I think it is appropriate for the modifications that you are taking to the
landscape of this existing parking lot. I am going to make that as a
recommendation to the Highway Department.
Hafemann: Ok.
Pate: Utilities?
Mike Phipps- Ozark Electric Coop.
Phipps: Any relocation of existing facilities will be at the developer's expense.
We will need to see a copy of the electrical load calculations. Also, we
will need to see the metering points of those new buildings somewhere.
Hafemann: Right, we are working with the architect and the contractor that have
already been selected for this and we are trying to tie everything to the
breezeway. When we get that we will certainly let you know.
Phipps: The overhead out there is a 14.4KV so it is above the requirements for
underground. That's all I have.
Johney Boles — Arkansas Western Gas
Boles:
As shown in the plans our existing meter is at the northwest corner of the

PPL 03-17.00: Preliminary Plat (Stonebridge Meadows Ph. II, pp. 608) was
submitted by Tom Hennelly on behalf of Bill Meadows of Meadows Enterprises for
property located south of the intersection of River Meadows Dr. and Goff Farm Rd. The
property is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single-family 4 units per acre, and contains 53.74
acres. The request is for a residential subdivision with 153 lots.
Pate: Item number eleven is a Preliminary Plat for Stonebridge Meadows
submitted by Mr. Tom Hennelly and Suzanne will be going over that plat.
Morgan: If you could label the adjacent zoning on the plat. Update the property
zoning from R-1 to RSF-4. Right of way dedication for Goff Farm Road,
a collector requiring 70', so 35' of right of way from centerline is to be
dedicated. Staff is requesting an access easement with the utility easement
between lots 9 and 4 and 9 and 5 for pedestrian access.

Matt Casey —
That will probably change after we get with Parks. We don't have a

Required setbacks for RSF-4 are 8' for side setbacks, it says 10' on your
plat. If you could place a note on the plat indicating that lots 1, 42, 43 and
153 shall have limited access to interior streets.
Just not off of Goff Farm?
Correct. Those are all of Planning's comments. Matt, do you have
anything additional?
Staff Engineer
Casey:
Hennelly:
Tom, like we discussed yesterday, we are going to recommend that street
improvements be made along the south side of Goff Farm Road for the
entire length of the property including the existing golf course. The
drainage easement across lots 30, 31 and 54 and 53 must have separate
drainage and utility easements. You also need to extend the water and
sewer mains to the property lines along the street stub outs between lots
61/62 and 72 and 73. I think one of them has water and sewer and then
the other one doesn't have either. This one has sewer and no water and
this one doesn't have either one. The drainage easement between lots 137
and 138 and 110 and 111 would be a minimum of 20' centered. Also,
there may be a conflict, I know these are preliminary layouts. There may
be a conflict between the sewer and the storm sewer of lot 89.
I see, the manhole. We can take care of that.
Casey: The minimum allowed horizontal curb radius is 150'. If you propose a
reduced radius up there by 88 and 89 then you need to provide one of

those eyebrows like you did just south of it. I don't know what the official
term for that is, I call it an "eyebrow".
Hennelly: We've got it at 100'.
Casey;
You can reduce it further than that if you want to, just put the little bow on
it and that will be acceptable. Also, your pond calculations show that
there was an increase in some of the design storms so they need to tweak
the outfall a little bit to show no increase. That's all I have.
Morgan: Craig?
Craig Carnage)/ — Landscape Administrator
Carnagey: I have several small comments just about clarity on the plans with the
canopy. I think they are pretty clearly shown on here on one through
three. Number four is trees proposed for preservation should not be
located within areas likely to be built or disturbed from construction
activity. I have a question about lot 26. I am just not absolutely sure.
These trees are right in the middle of a lot that is likely to be built on.
That is something that is going to need to be considered.
Hennelly: If I understand it right, the only ones we can count as preserved have to be
permanently put in a preservation easement.
Carnagey: No, they just need to be put outside of the buildable area on the lot. They
don't have to be in a permanent easement.
Hennelly: I assume a lot of these houses will be built further back.
Meadows: The first phase they tend to build toward the front.
Hennelly: I will adjust them.
Carnagey: In the area that you are going to call preservation, I need that to be shown
clearly on the drawing and in the legend. As far as mitigation for removal
of trees, right now the ordinance requires subdivisions to pay into the tree
fund. There is no provision for on site mitigation. Whatever dollar
amount you need to calculate on the plans for mitigation proposal.
Hennelly: How does that work if he is going to do on site mitigation throughout the
golf course or in the area, is that not allowed for subdivisions?
Carnagey: Not in the ordinance right now. Subdivisions are required to pay into the
tree fund for canopy removed.

Is there a provision for an appeal on that?
Yes there is.
We will probably want to do that I imagine.
It does require a pretty comprehensive mitigation proposal on your part to
be submitted and that needs to go all the way to the City Council for their
approval.
Just because of the nature of the project and it being on the golf course. It
is an obvious place for him to mitigate with trees.
I may have mentioned that when we met out on site.
I was under the impression after we met out on site that we were going to
have the option to plant on the course.
There are a couple of proposals that seem to be working pretty well right
now that Council is taking a look at. We are working on an amendment to
the ordinance right now to allow that to occur but it may be several
months before that comes through. That's all I have.
Since I met with you yesterday I have spoken with Dawn Warrick and
there may be an easier way for us to do this park land. Because there is
the potential that Eagle Park was not legally lotted with Phase I. It was
given a legal description but may not have been legally lotted as Phase I.
More or less in a large mass of land we may be able to exchange it and
move the land over and accept the new park land dedication as a lot in
Phase II. If you can get with me and Dawn so we can get this laid out.
I can probably describe it to you. I did some figuring this morning before
I came up here and if you look on the northeast corner of that 14.97 acres
that is for the school, at that northeast corner if you come over 360' and
then strike a line do south that will provide the 5.65 acres of total park
land dedication. We talked about an easement, that's the reason I said that
because that piece of property doesn't adjoin it so we will probably come
up to one of these other lot lines. If we do that are you still going to want
an easement through there?
Probably. We will have to work that out with Dawn to see what is
necessary as far as Planning and Zoning goes.
If this is the way that we end up doing that he and I will need to sit down
and come up with some type of preliminary layout. If the schools don't
want this property we will lay lots out on it and we will need to make sure

that you still have access available and that a lot is not destroyed by an
easement and whatever.
Ohman: I will get with you later this afternoon.
Morgan: Utilities?
Mike Phipps — Ozark Electric Coop.
Phipps: We're all going to kind of go through this with you. First off, a 20'
easement on the south side of Goff Farm Road with crossings at the
entrance.
Hennelly: Ok.
Phipps: On lots 144 through 148 is going to be park land?
Hennelly: No, that is currently park land that is going to be deeded back to Mr.
Meadows. They will be lots.
Phipps: There are quite a few utility crossings. All of these will be six 4", 48"
depth finished grade. Across both entrances into the development. Lots
45 and 46 on the back line under that drainage. Also, lots 54 and 55.
Hennelly: Run that by me again on lots 45 and 46.
Phipps: In the back where you have the pump station. If it extends into that
easement somewhere where we can't dig through there then we are going
to need crossings underneath it.
Hennelly: I got ya. We will probably have to just move the pump station because we
will have problems getting crossings under it. I will just pull that up to the
northeast a little bit and that will allow you your 20' all the way through
there.
Phipps: 54 and 55.
Boles: Between 61 and 62 across the street we'll just go east. 72 and 73, go north
a little bit from there from 132 and 113 to 131 and 114. That one is
already shown. We need a 20' utility easement between 18 and 19 out to
the street to that crossing.
Hennelly: Can I move the one between 19 and 20 over?
Boles: You are probably going to need to reduce that to 10' because you've got a
street light shown there.
Technical Plat Review

Hennelly: I can move the street light too, I will just move the whole thing.
Boles:
Did we get the casing underneath 15 and 16 under the drainage there in the
back? Under the drainage to the east between 137 and 138 in that utility
easement. 138 and 137 to 110 and 111. A 20' utility easement, let me ask
a question real quick. Lots 84 through 88 over there on the other end, I
assume you are going to run service in front for those four lots?
Hennelly: We probably need to.
Boles: Ok, so we are going to need a 20' utility easement between 83 and 84. At
that point we will go back to the rear easement.
Hennelly: You will come out from the rear easement at 88 and 89 and then go across
the front?
Boles: We will be on the front on 88 and then between 88 and 89 we will go back
to the back and go behind 89 through 94 back to the west.
Hennelly: Bill, do you want your easements along this back line Bill along the ravine
or is it ok to have these lots with their utilities up front? Do you have a
problem with it being on the back line there by that ravine?
Boles: What kind of slope is it?
Hennelly: It is pretty flat. It is just a bunch of scrub trees that grow up in a ravine.
Boles: I don't know that we have a problem with being back there. We just want
to make sure that we are on flat ground. Sometimes we show an easement
adjacent to a rear property line and that winds off being under the hill. I
have a line out there as a matter of fact, in your current subdivision, all of
the utilities I think are out of the easement.
Hennelly: Are you talking about in the bluff?
Boles: Yes. I have got to move where the utility easement was platted off the
rear property line and that is way down into the hill. I just want to make
sure that that doesn't happen on these lots.
Gibson: If you do want it in the back could we change this UE to get through here?
Boles: Yeah we can.
Gibson: If you want it in the back instead of between 83 and 84 you can put that
easement between 87 and 86 if you want it in back.

You will need one coming out if it is in the back.
Right, that will get us where we can come across the street.
Either way is ok with you guys?
Yeah. If we go straight across and go in the back we are going to want a
crossing there between 87 and 86, 122 and 123 I think we can eliminate
the one between 76 and 77, 127 and 128 that crosses. If you will go north
from 94 and 95, 117 to 118 we can probably eliminate that one too.
The one that crosses between 94 and 95 and 117 and 118?
Yes, I think you can eliminate both of those.
I thought I was being pretty smart putting those in.
You are. It is a good deal but I don't think we are going to run north and
south there if we can loop everything. We need a 20' easement up the east
property line of 144, 10' off site would be fine. From the northeast comer
of 104 to 144 crossing that street up there in that park area again. From
the northeast corner of lot 9 over to the northwest corner of 143.
Ok.
I think you are showing an easement along the south property line of 152
up there at the top but it is not labeled, is that 20 also?
Yes, 10' either side.
Ok. He is going to need to get from the southwest corner of 152 back
along the north property line of 151 back out to the street, give him a 20'
all the way across there. Can we get 10' off site on that other property?
Probably not. Bill is trying to buy that property. Hopefully we will have
that resolved by Final Plat but I will get with you guys if that does happen
and allows us to incorporate that. It kind of just really goofs things up
with that thing cut out there, it would be a lot nicer if we could incorporate
that into the subdivision.
One of the comments that I have, I have an existing line I believe Tom
across both of these proposed entrances. It is existing that goes up the
south side of Goff Farm Road. It may be necessary to lower those. I am
not sure if there is going to be some undercutting for the installation of
those streets.

isn't it?
Sure. If you could do it and maintain every intersection every 300'
throughout the subdivision you can do that.
Like between 100 and 101 Tom you are showing 20' going out to that
light, those could be probably all reduced to 10'.
If that is the only thing they are needed for.
Just remember six 4" at each one 48" in depth.
Tom, something I forgot to put in my comments. Lot 152 up here, how
are you going to provide sewer for that lot?
I am hoping we will be able to work this out. If not, we will have to do a
test pit on it I guess. It is over an acre.
I don't know, I think we will probably recommend extending the sewer
back to the lot line then since we are making sewer improvements
anyway. I don't think we would be comfortable with a septic there when
we have the option of extending sewer and it would be within 300'.
Ok.
Tom, I have one other quick comment. Please make sure that where
casings are installed where sidewalks are an issue that the casings extend
beyond the edge of the sidewalk. We are having a lot developments now

that they are terminating the casings at the edge of the curb and then they
construct the sidewalk and their casing is under the sidewalk.
Morgan: Also, if this piece is part of the property are you going to give it a lot
number?
Hennelly: Actually, that is not included in the legal description.
Morgan: Ok.
Gibson: The only other thing that I can add is when they break ground on this
Phase if you would please notify all of us.
Boles: Mike is the only one that frequents that area.
Morgan: Just remember that your street lights need to be every 300'.
Sue Clouser — SBC
Clouser: Any relocation will be at the developer's expense.
Morgan: Revisions are due October 8th at 10:00 a.m. Thank you.

PPL 02-13.10: Preliminary Plat (Stone Mountain, pp. 488/489) was submitted by
Jorgensen and Assoc. on behalf of Bill Conners for property located South of Hyland
Park and east of Crossover Rd. The property is zoned RSF-4, Residential Single-family
and contains 82.74 acres. The request is for a residential subdivision with 114 lots
proposed.
Pate: The last item on the agenda is a Preliminary Plat for Stone Mountain
residential subdivision. Suzanne will go over this one.
Morgan: The first thing I wanted to ask about this is to verify sight boundaries. I
think the comments that were made at the last Tech Plat meeting a year
ago I think that there is a bit of confusion to make sure that this is one
legal lot. We want to make sure that the property south of here is not a
part of this.
Pate: This is all one parcel number, we need something showing this.
Brackett: The parcel boundary is right here.
Pate: Are these lines just kind of drawn in?
Brackett: They are drawn in to match the subdivision.
Pate: You need to do either a lot line adjustment, you can probably do an
adjustment or add that as another lot. I am not sure if you own this
property as well.
Brackett: This is Phase I and then this will be a different phase. We will probably
do a lot line adjustment. Can we go concurrently with that?
Pate: A lot line adjustment is just an administrative process. As long as you're
not creating a new lot.
Brackett: They own further down. We can do an adjustment of that deed to this
line.
Pate: We will start processing because that can be processed a lot faster than
this one will be.
Morgan: There needs to be an amendment to the Master Street Plan because there is
a road going through here. That road I guess is supposed to be Stone
Mountain Drive, which is called out to be 90' of right of way according to
the Master Street Plan. You have 70' shown.
Brackett: That was worked out with the initial submittal due to the fact that that road
is never going to go down to this road. You can call it a Master Street

Plan if you want but because of the geometry of this it is not going to ever
do that.
Morgan: I have not seen an amendment approved by the City Council.
Pate: We probably just need to process that as a Master Street Plan amendment.
Brackett: To go to the 70' of right of way?
Pate: And to change the alignment of what the Master Street Plan currently calls
for.
Brackett: Currently we are building this portion of it and we are not necessarily
required to.
Pate: Right. Anything for the property, for instance, if the Master Street Plan
does this right here.
Brackett: It does.
Pate: You are amending it to go down here correct?
Brackett: Yes.
Pate: That is what the amendment request is for to change the designation from
90' right of way to 70' and then also amend the actual location of it.
Brackett: So we can show 50' going out to the south part of it?
Pate: I would be consistent with the way you have all the way through. There is
probably not going to be a street, this one comes down south. Really you
are moving the whole thing up. If you are going to request it I would be
consistent. Just detail that in a letter as a Master Street Plan amendment
request saying we want to amend the right of way width for lesser
dedication that needs to be approved by the City Council and then
amending the actual location. You are still fulfilling the purpose I think.
Brackett: Ok.
Morgan: If you could indicate limited access for lots 5, 6, 8 and 9 to Stonebridge
Road. Limit access to interior streets.
Brackett: Ok.
Morgan: All of the comments from the Tech Plat meeting of May 14, 2002 remain
applicable. Those are attached. Sidewalk crossings between lots 5 and 6

and 4 and 63 shall be striped and require a pedestrian crossing sign per the
Planning Commission decision. A waiver of the sidewalk requirements
for Stone Mountain Road and Stone Bridge Road require Planning
Commission approval. Matt?
Matt Casey — Staff Engineer
Casey:
Chris, I know we have talked some about this before this meeting. I have
included Ron's comments from last year. A lot of them still apply. I
couldn't find anything additional to add beyond what he has already
commented on. The water issue is going to be the main thing. Before we
go to Subdivision we need to have something definite. The actual water
study or something showing the options that you are going to perform and
you are going to be consistent with. Right now we don't have anything
more than what we did last year.
Brackett: I think from our conversations with Hugh Earnest we worked out that we
could come through knowing that it is in short order. The study is not
going to be done by the time that we submit for Subdivision.
Casey: Have you been in contact with McGoodwin, Williams & Yates at all?
Brackett: Not in the last week.
Casey: Maybe they can give you a memo or something providing you information
that you can get to us.
Brackett: I guess my point is that we don't have a definite proposal now until the
study is complete. By the time that this is approved there are several
options regardless of how the study goes. Depending on how the study
goes is which option we choose to go by. I guess that is what we're
looking at.
Casey:
We may be able to go to Subdivision. I am not sure at this point about
approving the Preliminary Plat without a definite water supply. I am not
sure that the Planning Commissioner's would want to do that. I don't
know what correspondence you have had with McGoodwin to see if
maybe we can get something that is going to assure us the different
options.
Brackett: Like I said, there are different options. How bad the situation actually is is
which option we have to go by. Let me get with them and I will call you.
Casey:
We can sit down with Ron as well. I know he handled all of this last year.
This is all new to me. That is just taken from a conversation that I had
about this.

Brackett: We've been in contact with Hugh Earnest about this.
Casey:
I think we need to get another meeting about that with the people who
were actually involved. I have several comments. The water sewer
superintendent will require that the downstream sewer lines to get from
this lift station. We may also need to see a traffic study to make a
recommendation on traffic analysis. Rain catchers are required for all new
sewer manholes.
Craig Carnagev — Landscape Administrator
Carnagey: In your tree table you note that trees that are significant are listed up here
as canopy. On this northern half of the subdivision I just want to make
sure that the canopy that is located in the easements aren't counted as
preservation in your calculations.
Brackett: No, we don't have any canopy in the easements.
Carnagey: I know you had this in your tree protection notes for excavation around
roots of trees. You may want to make that kind of a highlighted note for
that tree 15, that 36" oak that root pruning needs to be required for that. I
just want that to be called out for sure.
Brackett: That root pruning will be required?
Carnagey: Yes. Everything else looks pretty good. You do have payment into the
tree fund. I have calculated it at $3,150.
Brackett: Alright.
Rebecca Ohman — Parks Department
Ohman: The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met on January 15, 2002, since
that date the requirements have changed so you actually get a larger
banking credit. For 112 single family lots dedication is 2.68 acres and you
guys have dedicated 8.19 acres so you have a banking credit of 5.51 acres.
If you could also label the park property with a lot number. If the
detention pond, we would like to review that for potential flow on the park
property.
Brackett: It discharges into the park there into the ravine.
Ohman: We'd like to check that out. That's all I have.
Morgan: Utilities?

Let's go over the crossings first Chris. These will all be six 4" from lot 5
over to 6 we need six 4" across this drainage sewer right here in the back
of six.
That sewer is like 6' deep.
If the top of it from the top of the pipe to finished grade is more than 48"
we won't need it. The same thing up here below the drainage pond.
These are all six 4". We are going to need a UE between 31 and 30 and
between 80 and79, between 26 and 25 and then that crossing right there
between 26 and 25 over to 77 and 76. 20' between 108and 72 and then a
crossing between 108 and 72 over to 73 and 107. You had a crossing right
here between 99 and 100 over to 112 and 1 l 1.
Larry, would it no be easier to just come straight down through here?
On 112 and 111?
Yes, instead of making this jog around the corner.
Yes, we need a 20' between 112 and 111.
You can just leave that crossing in.
Can we go back the other way? We have some trees that we are saving
there.
Ok. Let's just right there on 99 from 99 over to 113 make that crossing
right there so we can come back around along the bottom of 99 and x this
out. We need six 4" out here on the front. On 56 through 52 and 53 did
we need to stay in the front along those?
No because there is an existing drive that comes through here and we will
have an access drive that comes down to here. There is flat area in there.
Ok, so in the back of 55 and 56 we are going to need six 4" underneath
that drain where that 20' UE is. We have this crossing right here between
95 and 94 over to 48. We will be in that 20' UE. Whoever builds that
house is going to have to dig across that drainage to access.
We may look at putting them in the front.

We need six 4" between 84 and 85 over to 45 and 46. In the back of 41
and 40 underneath that pipe I need six 4" right there. I need a 20' UE on
the east side of lot 33, you have that one marked. How about this little
extension street out here. You have one crossing between 1 and 2, are you
going to put anything on the north side of that drive Mike or are you going
to come in where that 20' UE is?
Phipps: I'll stay along the south side with that.
Gibson: He's got a crossing marked here between 1 and 2 going north that doesn't
really need to be there. You can take that one out. You've got one across
this entrance, go ahead and leave that one. I think that's it.
Morgan: Revisions are due by 10:00 a.m. on the 8`h. Thanks.
