ADM 12-4286:Administrative Item(205 W.DICKSON ST./NOMAD'S,484): Submitted by MITCHELL
OWEN for property located at 205 WEST DICKSON STREET. The property contains approximately 0.26
acre and is zoned MSC,MAIN STREET CENTER.The request is to allow for a temporary retail structure to
remain on the property for longer than 90 days (Use Unit 2).
Quin Thompson read the staff report,adding that staff had not been aware of restaurants with similar menus
at the time of the report,but that at least three such restaurants had been brought to staff's attention since the
report was published.
Eric Gallemore,applicant, said that the business is not in direct competition with other nearby restaurants,
primarily because his business is not a sit-down restaurant,but rather attracts foot traffic looking for a fast
take-away meal in an area with high pedestrian traffic.
Lisa Sharp, Owner of Nightbird Books,on whose property Nomad's is located, said that her bookstore has
had multiple restaurants lease space in her building,and that her bookstore is highly dependent on the kind of
foot traffic that Nomad's supports and generates. She said that Nomad's is helping her keep her business
profitable by lowering her overhead and increasing her low-margin sales.
No public comment was presented.
Commissioner Hoskins asked staff how similar the Nomad's menu was to nearby `permanent' businesses.
Quin Thompson stated that there was some similarity and overlap between at least three businesses within
one half mile of the Nomad's location, including Emilia's Mediterranean Kitchen, Coco's, and Petra Cafe.
Commissioner Hoskins noted that several restaurants had similar menu items,and yet staff opinion had not
changed, and questioned staff's reasoning.
Quin Thompson stated that it is difficult to establish an adverse affect as required, and gave examples that
acknowledge similarity but do not suggest unfair advantage. These included similar items and prices on the
lunch menu at Emilia's,while the dinner menu was significantly more expensive than Nomad's offerings,
and the fact that Petra Cafd and Nomad's both serve a `falafel pita', but that Nomad's price is two dollars
more than Petra Cafe's.
Commissioner Chesser stated that he does not think having a similar menu to a mobile vendor necessarily
constitutes an adverse affect on `permanent' a business.
Chairman Winston asked staff to clarify what precisely the requested variance would allow.
Andrew Garner,Senior Planner,responded that the variance would allow Nomad's Natural Plate to remain on
the current site for one year from the date of initial Mobile Vending Permit,and that Nomad's would then need
a new 90 day Mobile Vendor Permit to remain on the property. [Original Mobile Vendor permit was issued
September 19,2012]

Commissioner Hoskins said that he would support the variance because the business has been at the site a short
time, and he expressed his disagreement with mobile businesses that stay at the same location year after year
without being required to meet City development standards that`permanent'businesses must meet.
Chairman Winston asked if the business met all size requirements.
Andrew Garner, Senior Planner,responded that there are not size limitations for mobile vendors on private
property as there are on public property.
Motion:
Commissioner Cabe made a motion to approve ADM 12-4286 as recommended by staff. Commissioner
Cook seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 7-0-0.

that density limitation.

CUP 12-4278:Conditional Use Permit(4107 N.STEELE BLVD./DAMGOODE PIES,134):Submitted
by PATRICK HARRIS for property located at 4107 NORTH STEELE BOULEVARD.The property is zoned
C-2, THOROUGHFARE COMMERCIAL and contains approximately 1.72 acres. The request is for a
conditional use permit for a reduced number of parking spaces.
Quin Thompson read the staff report.
Patrick Harris, applicant, said that there has been a misunderstanding about the nature of the business at
Regency Beauty Institute. He said that it is a school and has been calculated as a salon. He stated that over
several weeks meetings had been held on the site with various professionals, and it had never occurred to
anyone that parking could be a problem because the parking lot had always been nearly empty.
Public comment:
Roy Clinton, adjacent property owner, expressed his concern that there is not enough parking, and that
customers of DamGoode Pies were likely to overflow into his parking lot,which he says is consistently full at
peak times.
Brendan Maxwell,Damgoode Pies,said that his years of restaurant management experience indicate that there
will be adequate parking for his restaurant. He stated his belief that his restaurant, being a very popular
destination business, would improve traffic and business for other nearby developments.
Commissioner Honchell asked Mr Clinton whether he had ever been approached by the applicant about a
possible shared parking agreement. Mr. Honchell asked staff if an agreement would change staff opinion.
Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, said that staff had not considered this, nor had any such agreement been
provided by the applicant.
Mr. Clinton said that he had been approached, and that some e-mails had been exchanged, but that no
agreement had been made.
Commissioner Hoskins said that the Planning Commission should focus its decision on the information
provided by the applicant and staff, and that it appeared that the applicant was nearly 100% below required
minimum parking,which he could not support.
Chairman Winston noted that the arrangement of the parking lot made it seem as though parking was shared
among both properties,which would invite parking problems.He asked staff to explain the applicant's options
if the request should be denied.
Mr. Garner answered that the applicant could appeal the decision to City Council, or could alter the request
and return to Planning Commission with a new request.
Motion:
Commissioner Hoskins made a motion to deny CUP12-4278. Commissioner Cabe seconded the
motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 7-0-0.

ADM 13-4299: Administrative Item (RE-EVALUATION OF THE MAE FARM
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP 11-3762, 096): Submitted by CYNTHIA HASELOFF
for property located at 4618 N. COLLEGE AVENUE. The property is zoned R-A, Residential
Agricultural and C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and contains approximately 17 acres. The
request is for the re-evaluation of CUP 11-3762 that expires on March 14, 2013 to allow the agri-
tourism uses and vending trailers indefinitely. Planner: Andrew Garner
Findings:
Property description: The subject property is located west of Lake Fayetteville at 4618 N. College
Avenue and contains approximately 17 acres. The majority of the site is undeveloped open space that
is cleared pasture and is known as Mae Farm. The site extends south all the way to the east of the
Loco-Motion go-cart and arcade and all the way to the centerline of Clear Creek. The western portion
of the site that fronts onto College Avenue/Lake Fayetteville Road contains a used car lot and is
zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and the majority of the undeveloped open space is zoned R-A,
Residential Agricultural. The open space has been used in the past for a golf driving range.
Background for Planning Commission action on items at Mae Farm:
■ May 24, 2010. Planning Commission approved a variance (ADM 10-3584) to permit a wire
"horse fence"within commercially zoned property.
October 11, 2010. Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit (CUP 10-3665)
for two agri-tourism events in 2010 including a Family Faun Fest (farmer's market, hay ride,
and vendors) and a food and evening music event.
■ March 14, 2011. Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit (CUP 11-3762) for
a recurring agri-tourism business including temporary sales trailers. Condition of approval
No. 5 limits the permit for a time period not to exceed two years, upon which the Planning
Commission may re-evaluate the proposal.
• August 22, 2011. Planning Commission denied a conditional use permit (CUP 11-3896) for
year-round helicopter rides.
■ October 10, 2011. Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit (CUP 11-3945)
for a one-day fair.
• March 12, 2012. Planning Commission approved a modification to the approved CUP 11-
3762 to have a different style of vending trailer than previously approved; to utilize a trailer
that looks like a red railroad car caboose, with a separate bar-b-que smoker trailer.
• May 14, 2012. Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit(CUP 12-4097) for a

variety of agri-tourism events including 25 large outdoor events per year.
• November 26, 2012. Planning Commission denied a conditional use permit (CUP 12-4255)
for year-round helicopter rides.
Proposal: The applicant requests that conditional use permit CUP 11-3762 be granted on a
permanent basis. This proposal would eliminate condition of approval No. 5 which specifies the two-
year timeframe; all other original conditions of approval from CUP 11-3762 would still apply.
Discussion: Staff recommends in favor of the applicant's request finding that the impacts of the agri-
tourism and vending events at Mae Farm have had a minimal impact on surrounding infrastructure
and that the approved variances including the gravel parking area and temporary vending trailers are
still relevant. The gravel parking area has been adequate without any signs of erosion or tracking
gravel or dirt onto the adjacent public street, and the temporary vending trailers are appropriate on a
permanent basis given the unique nature of the agri-tourism use.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of ADM 13-4299 to modify CUP11-3762 to
allow the agri-tourism business including the vending trailers at Mae Farm on a permanent basis with
the following conditions of approval:
Conditions of Approval:
1. All conditions of approval from CUP 11-3792 shall be required.

Dear Andrew:
We have closed our food trailers for the second season and are nearing the end of our
Conditional Use Permit(March 2013). It was my understanding that after two years without
problems and meeting the requirements, we could continue to operate our business on the site.
We would like to continue indefinitely.
After a brief conversation with you, it appears that our permit is tenuous. Obviously,we have
invested in the property to meet City requirements and to establish a viable business. In the
coming years,we hope to recover our costs and become a unique contributor to the community.
In preparation for our next season,we are planning to replant the pecan trees and Rosa rugosa
that died during the drought of the last two summers. We are also planning to open the farmers
market there beginning in March. We will be moving some of our trees and tables and adding
additional flowers to make the market attractive. Without a permit,however,this is all futile.
Please let me know what must be done to continue our project.
Warmest Regards,
Ca Haseloff

BACKGROUND:
Background and property description: The subject property is located west of Lake Fayetteville at
4618 N. College Avenue and contains approximately 17 acres. The majority of the site is
undeveloped open space that is cleared pasture and is known as Mae Farm. The site extends south all
the way to the east of the Locomotion Family Fun Park and all the way to the centerline of Clear
Creek. The western portion of the site that fronts onto College Avenue/Lake Fayetteville Road
contains a used car lot and is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and the majority of the
undeveloped open space is zoned R-A, Residential Agricultural. The open space has been used in the
past for a golf driving range. The surrounding land use and zoning is listed in Table 1.

Planning Commission Approval: On October 11, 2010 the application received approval of CUP
10-3665 (Mae Farm) to permit temporary agri-tourism events (Use Unit 2) such as hay rides,
farmer's markets, camping, and other seasonal festivals. As part of that conditional use permit the
commission and the applicant discussed that as more specific events and details of the use of the
property were determined by the applicant, these would need to be brought before the
commission as separate conditional use permits.
Proposal: The request is for a conditional use permit for temporary sales trailers to remain on
the property for longer than 90 days (Use Unit 2) and for commercial recreation (Use Unit 20)

for an agri-tourism business. The applicant proposes the following as shown on a site plan and
described in their application:
• Two food trailers, approximately 7-foot by 16-foot (112 square feet each). These would
serve shaved ice, ice cream, soft drinks, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and sell farm
produce.
• Portable restrooms,picnic tables
• Pony rides would take place in an approximately 1,000 square feet area including a fence,
ring, and tent.
• 19 parking spaces within a gravel area as indicated on the site plan.
• Hours of operation: daily, 10 AM— 10 PM, April 20"'—October 30".
• The trailers and other facilities would be left on the site year round.
Public Comment: Staff has not received public comment.
Street and Sidewalk Improvements: Due to the temporary nature of the proposed use, staff does
not recommend street or sidewalk improvements at this time. Street and sidewalk improvements
will be further evaluated with future conditional use and development requests.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Staff recommends approval of CUP 11-3762 (Mae Farm)
with the following conditions of approval:
1. Planning Commission determination of a variance of Fayetteville UDC Section
172.02(B) to permit a gravel driveway and parking lot for the agri-tourism use. Staff
recommends in favor of this variance request given the rural nature of the business,
and the temporary and small scale intensity of the use of the area. In order to support
this variance staff recommends the following:
a. Revised site and landscape plans shall be submitted for review in accordance
with City code including:
i. Depict 25 feet from centerline Master Street Plan right-of-way along Lake
Fayetteville Road.
ii. Indicate 15 feet of greenspace between the edge of the Master Street Plan
right-of-way and the parking area.
iii. Parking lot landscaping in accordance with code including a continuous
screening hedge of evergreen shrubs between the parking area and the
street, one street tree every 30 feet, one interior parking lot tree for every 12
parking spaces, irrigation with hose bibs 100 feet on center or automatic
irrigation.
iv. Wheel stops shall be installed to define each parking space.
v. The dimensions of the parking spaces and drive aisles shall meet City code.
vi. Directional signage indicating one-way traffic flow shall be depicted on the
plans.
b. Should excavation and grading be required to install additional gravel for the
parking area a grading permit and Site Improvement Plan review shall be

required, as determined by City Engineering staff.
c. If City Engineering staff determines that the gravel parking area has caused or
is causing problems with erosion or gravel being tracked onto the public road,
staff may require measures to mitigate these issues such as a standard concrete
commercial driveway approach,paving the parking lot in accordance with City
code, or other solution to address the problem.
PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINED IN FAVOR OF STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION
(03-14-11)
2. Planning Commission determination of street improvements. Based on the small
size and scale of the proposed development at this time. Staff finds that there is not
enough impact to warrant street improvements such as road widening, curb, gutter,
storm drainage,sidewalk, street lights, etc.
PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINED IN FAVOR OF STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION
(03-14-11)
3. Planning Commission determination of excess parking spaces. Based on the square
footage of two food trailers and a 1,000 square foot pony ring only six parking
spaces would be required. The applicant's site plan shows 19 parking spaces. Staff
recommends in favor of the additional parking spaces given the unique nature of the
seasonal events that may require more parking than permitted by code to accommodate
peak users, and given that the applicant proposes to use gravel which would not be
adding additional impervious surface.
PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINED IN FAVOR OF STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION
(03-14-11)
4. Planning Commission determination to permit temporary sales trailers to remain on
the property for more than 90 days, and for a variance of Fayetteville UDC Section
166.14(C) to permit metal trailers on the site as commercial structures. The trailers
do not comply with Commercial Design Standards as they are boxlike and primarily
metal structures. Staff recommends in favor of the applicant's proposal to permit these
structures on the site with the condition that the trailers be limited to the architectural
style and size proposed. The proposed trailers are 7-foot by 16 foot and the design
utilizes a large amount of glass, fafade projection, and an exterior finish that
resembles a permanent building. The lighting on the trailers shall meet the City's
lighting ordinance. The lights depicted on the photo provided by the applicant do not
meet the lighting ordinance and are not permitted.

application, including the hours of operation and other details listed in the project
description of this report. The Conditional Use Permit approval shall be valid for a
period not to exceed two years, upon which the Pla_nnin¢ Commission may re-
evaluate the proposal. The intent of this evaluation is to better understand the
impact that the proposed development has on infrastructure and to determine if 1)
infrastructure improvements need to be required and 2) the approved variances are
still relevant and compatible.
6. All exterior lighting shall comply with the City's lighting ordinance. Any exterior
lights shall be permitted by the City Planning Division prior to installation.
7. Signage shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 174.
8. Any portable restrooms located on the property shall be screened from view of the
surrounding public streets.
9. The hours of operation of the outdoor music shall be limited to the hours of the
proposed agri-tourism use as described in this conditional use permit. It is noted
that though specific regulations apply for this use, a permanent outdoor music
establishment as defined in this use is not being permitted on the property; rather,
the use of outdoor music is being permitted as an accessory part of the conditional
use permit for this agri-tourism business.
10. Outdoor music shall comply with the City Noise Ordinance. All music shall be
subject to the regulations as follows:
(A) No person shall operate or cause to be operated, or permit, contract or allow to
be operated on premises on public or private property any identifiable source of
sound in such a manner as to create a sound level within the use districts in Table
1 below which exceeds the maximum noise levels as set forth in Table I as
measured at any point on the boundary of the property from which the sound or
noise was emanating. Except between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., a
complaint under this section must be brought by a property owner or leaseholder
affected by excessive noise on their property. All measurements shall be taken
with a sound level meter in its fast or peak level setting.

3. Complete written description of this request(what is proposed by the applicant)to include:
(a) Building size in square feet; existing and proposed.
There are no existing structures on the hilltop.
Two food trailers, approximately 7' by 16' (about 112 square feet each)will be set up on
the North end of the property. These trailers will be on the middle tier of the lot. The"Ice House"will
serve shaved ice, ice cream,and soft drinks. The"Hot Spot"will serve hot dogs,hamburgers,chips, and
soft drinks. We may also have an area for farmers' market pickup and on site sale of our farm produce.
Portables with hand sanitation will be available as restrooms.
A pony ring will be set up on the top tier. It will occupy approximately 1000 square feet
including fencing, ring,and tent. The white festival tent for shade and shelter is 20 feet square and is
surrounded by a perimeter fence that is 32 feet square.The pony ring itself is approximately 10-12' in
diameter.
(b)Number of off-street parking spaces to be provided/numbers required.
We have approximately 10 marked parking spaces on either side of our drive. This surface
will be compacted with a chat surface of S132 or DG. Another 20-40 spaces are available for overflow in
the lower terrace of the hilltop. This area has been used by the City for Lake Fayetteville Fest with our
permission. There is also public parking available at the Lake Fayetteville baseball field.
(c) Hours of o ern ation: The proposed hours of operation for the food trailers are from 10 a.m.
to 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday during our public season which begins April 20 and
ends October 30. (Hours dependent upon business need.)

A pony ride will operate from I p.m. to 5 p.m.on weekends during the same period.
Employees: We will have six employees per trailer working in four hour shifts, i.e. 10-2,
2-6,and 6-10. The pony ring will have at least two employees on site.
Anticipated number of patrons: We do not know what the actual number of visitors will be.
But we estimate 150 to 300 visitors for the food concessions throughout the day. The pony
ride may attract as many as twenty riders an hour or 80-100 in the four hour period on
Saturday and Sunday.
(d) Outdoor lighting: Our trailers will have lights, known as carnival lights around the signs,
and the interior will also be lit. Our outdoor seating area will use natural light primarly,
but in the evening, we will add enough light to safely accommodate our patrons. Our drive
and any paths may be marked by solar walkway lights.
(e) Noise: We may use a CD player for music that can be•heard by our guests. Occasionally
we may have an acoustical musician or group. Both live and recorded music will adhere to
the city noise decibel level. Any other activities will also follow your guide lines.
(f) Screening or buffering: The property is located on 71B and is generally exposed to traffic
along that thoroughfare. Lake Fayetteville, Lewis and Clark,United Bilt Homes, South
Town Sports, and Lokomotion also adjoin the property and will not be screened from our
activities other than by their own distance,building locations, and topography. Our fence
will be planted with Rasa rugosa providing a screen for our parking and the fence itself.
We will also add landscaping around the trailers,tent,and in our seating area.
(g) Trash and refuse service: Trash cans with liners are conveniently located throughout the
property for our guests. Full bags are collected at the east side of our old hen house and
hauled away by us or a trash service. This area is not visible to our neighbors.
h) Ingress and Egress: Gate Three and Four open off an access road adjacent to 71B. Gate
Four will be used for ingress and Gate Three for egress. The impact should not be greater
than that for baseball tournaments or lake festivals.
(i) General Compatibility: This location is a public recreation area. Our family has operated
various recreational venues since 1962. Two of our neighbors—Lokomotion and Lake
Fayetteville—are also recreation venues. United Bilt Homes has connections with
Lokomotion and is long accustomed to recreation traffic. South Town Sports and Lewis
and Clark provide outdoor recreation equipment for fishermen,hunters,cyclists, and
boating enthusiasts. Other neighbors in the area are separated from the property by
distance,roadways, and topography.
4. Site Plan. (Please see enclosed map of property.)
5. Preliminary floor plans drawn to scale:
(a) The trailer(s) are approximately 7' x 16'. Each is certified by the Health Department or USDA
before purchase. They contain the required safety and hygiene specifies, such as four sinks. The
seating area has four picnic tables, but we plan to add more as demand increases. The pony ring

OUR HISTORY IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
srNcE 1962
In 1960 when we first conceived the idea of our Fayetteville property at 4618 N.College,we saw it as a place for
community and regional family recreation.
Originally our founders, henry T. (Tommie) and Virginia Mae Haseloff,took a piece of over grazed eroded
farmland and shaped it into a beautiful property. They created a lake from a shallow creek for beauty, water
rides, and water retention. They added a stable for horseback riding, a golf driving range for the public,and a
free area for family picnics,reunions, and corporate events. Among our guests at Hillbilly Holler were sports
celebrities and John and.Tune Cash who drew a record crowd for Winthrop Rockefeller.
In the 70's when the property was divided between partners, sold, and given for highway improvements and
easements,our recreational offerings changed. One part became Lokomotion, United Bilt Homes and
Southtown Sports. The fifteen plus acres we retained as Hog Heaven, Inc. continued the golf driving range, car
lot, farmstead, and natural area.
In the late 90's, we offered 2.5 acres to Hillborn Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, for a
heritage farm. Carl Totemeier, one of Hillbom's board members, arranged for focused planning with Quercus
Consultants. Together we developed first purposes for a farm: Preserving bio-diversity,teaching natural
sciences, exhibiting native plants and wildlife and endangered livestock breeds and heirloom plants, serving the
people of Northwest Arkansas. We sought to work with the city to lease the adjacent urban forest for wildlife
education. For various reasons, we were unable to reach an agreement with the city or complete the project at
that time. Yet we took an abiding interest in the project.
Today, we are moving into a recreational phase appropriate for this time—Mae Farm,an agri-tourism
experience. We have spent the last three years conceptualizing, informing, and preparing ourselves, learning
from the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, ATTRA,the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute,
Foundations University for Family Entertainment, White-Hutchinson Leisure and Learning Group, the
Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Wild Workshop,Arkansas Forestry Commission,Master Gardeners, Dr.
Calvin Bey and Frank Finger of Nitron Industries,authorities on organic bio-intensive gardening, and from the
many authors of the books that have led us.
This March, we reached a go-point for Mae Farm,having a lease on the land in hand and a basic grant for
fencing,renovations,wildlife improvements, and organic garden,vineyard, and orchard building.
Our concept is to grow in relation to the land,preserving the open vistas of the property,adding what we need
and can afford as we can and as the community supports us. We hope to model sustainable urban agriculture.
