VAC 07-2804: (CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, 405): Submitted by CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE for property located at E OF LEVERETT AVE., S OF ROBINSON
APTS.AND N OF LEVERETT TOWNHOMES. The property is zoned RMF -24,
MULTI FAMILY - 24 UNITS/ACRE. The request is to vacate a portion of an unused
right-of-way and create a general utility easement and trail on the subject property.
Property Owner: City of Fayetteville
Planner: Andrew Gamer
Background/Property: The property is located within a 20 -foot wide east -west strip of
unconstructed right-of-way east of Leverett Avenue south of Robinson Apartments and
north of Leverett Townhomes. While researching properties for land acquisition to
accommodate Scull Creek Trail, a designated trail on the City of Fayetteville Trails
Master Plan, the City discovered an unused 20 -foot road right-of-way. This right-of-way
does not currently have a road or public access and there are no plans to use the right-of-
way in the future. Overhead utilities are located within the right-of-way, as are portions
of two buildings in the Robinson Apartment complex. During the process of discussing
Scull Creek Trail and the need for a portion of property from Robinson apartments for the
trail, the property owner requested the right-of-way vacation as a land trade for the
property along Scull Creek for the trail.

Leverett Avenue between the Robinson Apartments and north of Leverett Townhomes as
indicated on the submitted site plan (9,802.11 square feet). As part of the vacation the
applicant proposes to dedicate the vacated area, excluding the existing structures, as a
general utility easement, as requested by utility companies. The required notification
forms were submitted to the utility companies and the City with the following responses.

RE: Evin's Farm Vacation
While researching properties for land acquisition to accommodate Scull Creek Trail, The City
discovered an unused 20' road right of way. This right of way does not currently have a road or
public access and there are no plans to use the right of way in the future. During the process of
discussing Scull Creek Trail and the need for a portion of property from Robinson Apartments,
the property owner requested the right of way vacation as a land trade for the property along the
Scull Creek for the trail.
Overhead utilities are located within the right of way and a utility easement will be created over
the entire right of way to accommodate the existing utilities.

VAC 07-2832: (LOTS 6-9 TIMBERLAKE OFFICE PARK, 96/135): Submitted by H2
ENGINEERING for property located at LOTS 6-9 OF THE TIMBERLAKE OFFICE PARK.
The property is zoned R -O, RESIDENTIAL OFFICE. The request is to vacate a portion of an
erosion control easement.
Property Owner: Zion Holdings, LLC
Planner: Andrew Garner
Background/Property: The property is located at Lots 6-9 of the Timberlake Office Park north
of Zion Road. The Timberlake Office Park subdivison has been recently platted and does not
have any development on it other than streets, infrastructure, and a pre-existing single family
residence. The subject property is located at the northeast end of this subdivision. The
property is at the top of a steep slope above Lake Fayetteville and the outfall at Clear Creek.
There is a large easement bisecting this property that was dedicated as part of the
development of Lake Fayetteville in 1949. This easement was for preservation and
stabilization of the slope above the lake. Staff has discussed this easement with the Arkansas
soil and water Conservation Commission who have indicated no problems with vacating a
portion of this easement (see attached email). The portion of the easement bisecting the
propsed development would have to be vacated prior to development on the property. On
September 10, 2007 the Planning Commission approved development of a 20,500 square foot
professional office building and associated parking lot (LSD 07-2677) on Lot 9 of the
Timberlake Office Park subdivision. The LSD was approved with the condition that the
easement be vacated prior to obtaining construction permits for the development.

objection to the requested vacation. The City also inquired of the Arkansas Soil and Water
Conservation Commission regarding the potential to vacate this easement and received no

Subject: easement question for Lake Fayetteville Dam
Alvin,
I attached a pdf showing an easement (purple) that the City has south of
the Lake Fayetteville Dam's spillway. The easement is labeled as being
for erosion control. We are considering vacating the south eastern
portion of the easement that is not in the floodplain. We could not
find any information that necessitate us having that easement. Will you
respond, an email will be fine, with whether or not you see any problems
with vacating a portion of this easement? I spoke with Mike and said he
are obligated to maintain the dam and 20 feet off of the toe but that
there are no easement requirements.
Thank you,
Sarah

Re: Timberlake - Easement Vacation
Dear Staff,
This correspondence is a written description of the petition to vacate a portion of
an existing easement (Doc. # 402-207) lying on Washington County Parcel # 765-15568-
002 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The current owner of the property is Zion Holdings, LLC
and Timberlake, a Residential -Office development, as been approved for this site. The
presence of this easement hinders the developer's buildable space on lots 6 — 9 of
Timberlake. We propose to vacate the easement as it is not currently being used for
anything. Our understanding of the nature of the easement is that it was originally put
into place with the construction of Lake Fayetteville and that it is no longer needed.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you should have any questions
or comments, please call me at 582-4234.
