City Council Meeting of May 03, 2005
Agenda Item Number 5/3 �°S
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Gary Dumas, Director of Operations
From: Jeremy C. Pate, Director of Current Planning
Date: April 15, 2005
Subject: Master Street Plan Amendment for Sellers Road (ADM 05-1481)
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of a resolution amending the Master Street Plan to
relocate Sellers Road to the south on this policy document. The proposed realignment of
Sellers Road on the Master Street Plan is to best facilitate the construction of the new
Westside Wastewater Treatment Plan and create more feasible street connectivity in the
area
BACKGROUND
Property: The subject property is the property designated by the City of Fayetteville and
recently approved for a Large Scale Development by the Planning Commission for the
new Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The 168 acres on which the
WWTP is being constructed is affected by three Master Street Plan Streets: 54th Street to
the west (Principal Arterial), Broyles Avenue along the east and through the center
(Collector) and Sellers Road, through the south -center (Minor Arterial). As part of the
development of the WWTP and the approval process of the Large Scale Development,
staff has actively worked with the design engineers and other involved persons to hest
facilitate both the future traffic in the area and the development plans for the plant site.
Proposal: An amendment to relocate Sellers Road to the south is driven primarily by the
design development of the WWTP. Sellers Road currently is an unconstructed street in
this location which traverses east -west across the property from 54th Street to Rupplc
Road. Staff finds this connection to he an important one in this area, for it will connect
the future Rupplc Road, which is rapidly developing, with Broyles Avenue and 54th to the
west, which are also seeing increases in traffic generation. However, the current location
of Sellers Road would require major infrastructure improvements, including a bridge
crossing Goose Creek in the general area of the WWTP development and discharge, as
well as the removal of a large portion of tree canopy that has been preserved as part of the
WWTP site development plans. the request is to shift Sellers Road to the south to align
with Woolsey Farm Road approximately 1400 feet to the south. A similar east -west
connection would be maintained, and existing Woolsey Farm Road right-of-way could be
utilized for future construction to a Minor Arterial Standard.
Request: The request is to amend the Master Street Plan for Sellers Road to move it
south approximately 1400 feet to align with the existing Woolsey Farm Road, retaining
its status as a Minor Arterial.

Submitted by McGoodwin, Williams &awl atccs�or property located at Persimmon between
Broyles and 54°1. The property is zoned R -A, Residential Agricultural and contains
approximately 321.64 acres. The request is to approve a wastewater treatment facility on
the subject property with 4,867 sy.ft. and 30 parking spaces proposed.
• •
Ostner: Our next item is a Large Scale Development for the Westside Treatment
Plant. If we could have the staff report please.
Pate:
Certainly. This property is located east of 541x' Avenue south of
Persimmon Street, west of Broyles Road, which does traverse through the
site currently. Fhe property is zoned R -A, Residential Agricultural and
contains approximately 168 acres. Approximately 40 acres of the 168
acres is being utilized for a new wastewater treatment plant, which is the
proposal before you, with much of the remainder in open field, tree
preservation area, and wetland mitigation area as you can obviously
reference here on the graphic. Just for a little history for both the public
and Commission, in 1999 the city purchased 322 acres of property which
is seen in the graphic south of West Persimmon Street, east of South 541h
Avenue, west of Broyles and north of Woolsey Fame Road. It is
approximately 322 acres there. The outline in red is showing the 168
acres currently under review for Large Scale Development. The City
Council approved the location of a plant site on this property back in 1999
or 2000, purchased and annexed the property with an R -A zoning district,
which allows the plant site as a use permitted by right. Numerous public
meetings were held in the decision to locate the new facility which is
intended to facilitate the new growth that Fayetteville is experiencing. The
proposal consists of a development of the wastewater treatment plant to
treat wastewater flows generated within the Illinois River Water Shed
from the City of Fayetteville. The Westside Treatment Facility will treat
flows in the Illinois River Basin and the Nolan Plant will serve the White
River Basin. It will capture much of the wastewater that is currently
pumped to the Paul Nolan site on the cast side of Fayetteville. Only a
small portion of the property is actually accessible to visitors and those
will probably he visitors with high security. There are a number of state,
county and federal regulations that this property and project are subject to
beyond the scope of the Planning Commission. Those of course, have all
been complied with or are in the process of being complied with to
complete construction drawings and continue forward with this project.
The Planning Commission's purpose for this project, as with any Large
Scale Development, is to review the submitted proposal for compliance
with applicable development and zoning provisions of the Unified
Development Code. That includes the landscape plan that has been
submitted, the tree preservation plan, any street improvements, water and
wastewater access, appropriate screening, etc. Staff has evaluated this
project based on the criteria in the Unified Development Code and
•
Planning Commission

included conditions of approval as part of the staff report. Staff is
recommending approval of this Large Scale Development finding that the
project does meet all applicable zoning and development regulations.
There are 15 conditions of approval. As you noticed in your packet, there
has been significant public comment within this process. City staff did
require the applicants, the city is the applicant, it is a unique situation. We
arc reviewing as a reviewing body, the Planning staff and Engineering
staff, reviewing this as a Large Scale Development as with any other
project that you see as a Large Scale Development or subdivision. The
applicant's representative is here tonight to speak to any questions or
issues that you might have about the project and specifically, there has
been public comment with regard to notification for this project. Much of
which of course is against this specific use. 1 just want to remind the
condition that this use is a use by right. It is not something that the
Planning Commission is here to decide whether or not the treatment plant
should go on this property. That is something that the City Council made
a policy decision years ago to locate this on this property. The Planning
Commission is here to decide whether or not it meets current zoning and
development ordinances. As a use by right and not industrial or
commercial in nature, there is not technically a screening requirement.
However, much of the public comment that came out in these public
hearings did request or have views concerning screening. Therefore,
through this particular development project there is significant screening
proposed. To the west along 54th Avenue is a significant landscape buffer.
To the east along Broyles Avenue is also some mounding and berming of
earth and landscape in that particular location. As you can sce, to the
south along the creek the area is being preserved as a tree preservation
area for the most part. That will provide screening as well. There are a
couple of items that the City Council will have to review as a part of this
project. There arc two Master Street Plan amendments on pages 4.13
there is a graphic as well as page 4.12 indicating those Master Street Plan
amendments that the Planning Commission is asked to make a
recommendation to the City Council upon. The first of which, is Broyles
Road, which currently makes an "S" curve with right angles through the
property currently. The city is proposing to construct approximately one
mile of street beyond what is already being constructed from Wcdington.
The city has constructed Broyles Road south from Wedington to
Persimmon Street, which is at the northeast comer of this site. An
additional section of course, will be constructed per this project. That
would he a 28' wide street within a 70' right of way. The other Master
Street Plan amendment is Sellers Road, which currently traverses
east/west through the property boundary. Staff is recommending that
Sellers Road, a minor arterial, be moved south to be in line with Woolsey
Fame Road to complete that connection both to Rupple and Sellers
eventually. As 1 mentioned, staff is recommending approval of this Large
Scale Development. There arc a lot of easements that are on going
Planning Commission

currently and utility relocations. 1 did not itemize everything. I don't think
this Planning Commission really needs to understand what fiber optic lines
are being removed or what lines arc being relocated but I did include a
condition that through the construction process the city and the utility
representatives will work through that process to adequately relocate any
of those lines. Fonnal easement and/or right of way vacation requests will
need to be approved by the City Council for any right of way that docs
need to be vacated, as well as the City Council shall review the Master
Street Plan amendments associated with this project. Item number six,
Planning Commission determination of street improvements, staff is
recommending that the applicant construct Broyles Road for
approximately one mile from Persimmon Street to the south of the subject
property with a 28' street section with 6' sidewalks located on the west
side of that property. Item number seven, again, 1 mentioned is
technically not required but I did include it. Planning Commission
determination of appropriate screening. Staff has evaluated the proposed
screening and finds that it does adequately screen this use from adjoining
property owners. 1 believe all of the other conditions are self explanatory
but if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Ostner: Thank you Mr. Pate. Is the applicant present?
Siversen: I'm John Siversen, the architect with McGoodwin, Williams & Yates. 1
am here on behalf of the City of Fayetteville to present you with your
Wastewater Treatment Plant. 1 would like to elaborate a little bit on the
site facility which Jeremy has so comprehensively presented. We are very
much aware of how important this project is to the city and how we want
to be a good neighbor for the community and in particular, the adjacent
neighbors. Our approach to the project has two essential elements. The
first one being to blend the new facility into the surrounding natural
landscape by addition of earth berms and landscaping and secondly, to use
architectural design elements to minimize the impact of the buildings on
the project site. To help explain this project, if you look at this photograph
here you can see as Jeremy so well explained, you have the overall tract
which is 322 acres and then within that tract we are designating an area
which is going to be the LSD tract, that is 168 acres and then within that
again we've got 40 acres which will be a fenced off area for the plant site.
As Jeremy said initially, this larger parent tract was purchased by the city
hack in 1999 solely for this purpose. Back to the LSD tract, which is
surrounded by red, we have got the 168 acres and it is bordered by 54th
Street on the west and Broyles Road on the cast and the new alignment of
Broyles Road is coming around here to the southeast. On the south we
have got this creek and the far wooded area here and then to the north
there has been an alignment determined here to accommodate the wetlands
in this LSD tract. Within this ISD tract there arc several existing and
proposed features. The large wooded area here situated on the south side
• •

and then it comes around to the west side and will provide a dense
screened buffer. To the west there is a large open pasture between 54th
Avenue and the plant. That is bordered 011 the east side of 54111 Avenue
with the required street tree plantings and then immediately adjacent to the
plant there is going to be groupings of trees there to provide additional
screening to the plant from the view from the west. Then to the north
we've got the wetlands which is 26 acres in arca that consists of these
bermed areas that are enhanced with landscaping and trees and then to the
east of the plant between Broyles Road and the plant there are several
berms and planting of deciduous and evergreen nature. Situated within all
of these surroundings we have got the wastewater treatment plant itself. It
is with an IOMG annual average capacity which is necessary to meet the
projected wastewater needs up to the year 2020. Within this plant you've
got the engineering on the project requires numerous structures and
buildings with various shapes and sizes. These buildings are a direct
result of the function that occurs within them and they vary considerably.
1t has been an architectural endeavor to have these buildings be
harmonious and blend in with the existing future residential areas. To this
extent we have minimized the height of the buildings and the impact of
these buildings in the front. All of the buildings have hip roves to give
you a lower profile rather than having gabled ends with a high pitch that
would he more intrusive into the landscape. Then we are accenting the
horizontal by using the Kase of the buildings have got a CMU base with
wainscote and then there is a pre -finished metal horizontally applied to the
building for the remainder of the wall. This is a banding effect, which sort
of helps emphasize the horizontality and in effect, keeps a low profile for
the project. As well as that we are going to be using a color scheme which
includes mainly earth tones that again, helps it blend in with the
surroundings. There won't be any use of any accent colors or anything
bright that will be fantasy or draws attention to the structures. We want to
compliment the future residential development of the adjacent property.
In conclusion, this facility with the earth berms and landscape features will
blend in with the natural landscape along with the architectural design
elements to minimize the impact of this building. It will he harmonious
with the surrounding and go above and beyond the status of being a good
neighbor. Thank you.
Ostner: Thank you Sir. Al this point we will hear from the public. Would anyone
like to speak to this issue? Please step forward and give us your
comments. Going once, anybody? Seeing none, I will close it to the
public and bring it back to the Commission.
Shackelford: I will start the conversation. It was pointed out earlier by the staff and
something that we had a discussion about at the Subdivision Committee
level. We do have to rcmembcr that this property is already annexed and
zoned and the use is a use by right on this property. As we serve as
• •
Planning Commission
February 28, 2005
Page /7
Planning Commissioners at the discretion of City Council our job is to
look simply at the development side of it with provisions to include
landscaping, tree preservation, street improvements and to some degree,
screening. Although we don't even quite honestly have the ability to
determine screening because it is a use by right on this property as well.
With that being said, I think the developer and the architect and everybody
involved has done a good job in limiting the affect that this is going to
have. Obviously, it is a tough sell if this is across the street from your
house but I think that with the berms and with the landscaping and that
sort of thing I think we have come a long ways from some of the fears and
the concerns that were originally thought would be involved with this
project. I would like to first congratulate everybody for their involvement
and hard work in this process and the end result is necessary for the
growth of the City of Fayetteville and I think it is a very good project
given what has to be done in this location.
Ostner: Thank you Mr. Shackelford. A question that 1 have for the applicant is
speaking of a tough sell, my question is smells. I have read in the report
that this facility is using state of the art systems to control odor. Could
you elaborate on that?
Siversen: That is more into the engineering side of it. From my architectural
understanding, they are using state of the art, research is ongoing in this
country in this area and we have been in touch and involved with the latest
and greatest and you are going to be getting it.
Ostner: You don't have anyone here on staff who would know more about the
specifics?
Siversen: 1 can tell you that we are using bio filters and bio scrubbers. We had
initially intended to use carbon filters but throughout the course of the
project technology has changed to the extent that we have adopted this
different approach.
Crider. My name is Lane Crider, I'm with McGoodwin, Williams & Yates. One
of the items in your packet has actually changed from your submission.
Rather than using bio filters followed by bio scrubbers the design has gone
up another step and we are using bio filters followed by carbon absorbers.
That is going to eliminate the additional potential of any odor releases by
going to that additional type of construction and type of technology. All
of the facilities, the basins, which we feel are the odor producing facilities
are being covered either by the concrete top, which is the construction of
the basin itself or with FRP type covers. The air underneath those will he
drawn out from under the covers and all be sent to a centralized treatment
facility which has the bio scrubbers followed by the carbon absorbers.
This type of technology in many applications has been proven to be as

good as it gets for this type of facility. We feel like you are getting the
best type of treatment that you are going to find for a wastewater treatment
plant. I think the additional step of covering those basins that may
produce any type of odors release, in that step alone is doing well.
Some of us on the commission toured the Nolan Plant a few years back
and 1 was really amazed at the ability that they had at that time to deal
with odor and I presume that technology has improved since then. Also, 1
would like to commend the developer on the aesthetics of these buildings.
I do think they blend in beautifully with the terrain and going above and
beyond with the landscaping. With that being said, 1 am going to go ahead
and move for approval of LSD 05-1385 subject to the fifteen conditions of
approval.
1 will second that motion. There are several municipalities, several cities
around here, who have development moratoriums because they don't have
enough sewer capacity. We do not have a moratorium, we are looking
towards the future. 1 think this is a big step towards planning for the
inevitable growth of our city. 1 think it is an important part of the puzzle.
On a more parliamentary note, I believe we have several determinations.
Condition number six and seven are specific, seven is not a specific
determination.
Five is though, you are recommending a change in the Master Street Plan.
Master Street Plan change, does the motioner accept conditions five and
six as specific findings'
Ycs 1 do.
As the second 1 will agree. Is there further discussion? Could you call the
roll?
Upon the completion of roll all the motion to approve LSD 05-1385 was
approved by a vote of 5-0-0.
The motion carries.

LSD 05-1385: Large Scale Development (WESTSIDE TREATMENT PLANT, 479/515):
Submitted by MCGOODWIN, WILLIAMS & YATES, INC. for property located at
PERSIMMON, BETWEEN BROYLES AND 54TII. The property is zoned R -A,
RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 168.026 acres. The request is
to approve the development of the new wastewater treatment facility on the subject property.
Property Owner: CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE Planner: JEREMY PATE
Findings:
Property: The subject property is located east of 54'h Avenue, south of Persimmon Street, and
west of Broyles Road, which traverses through the site. A property line adjustment has been
processed to create the subject 1 68 -acre site for development of the new Westside Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP), to be officially named at a later date. Approximately 40 acres of the
168 acres is to be utilized for the plant site at this time, with much of the remainder in open field,
tree preservation area and wetland areas.
Background.. (General Plan 2020): In 1997, CII2M Hill prepared a Wastewater Facilities Plan
that identified the existing conditions and future needs of the treatment plant. The plan was
updated in 2001. In 2000, the facility reached 94 percent of its capacity. Additionally, based on
projected wastewater needs for the year 2020, average daily flows were projected to be 21.5
million gallons per day, 10 million gallons more than the existing capacity with the Paul R.
Noland Plant. Because of the critical need to expand treatment services, in 1999 the City
purchased 322 acres on the southwest side of Fayetteville to construct a new wastewater
treatment facility. The City Council approved the location of the plant site on this property,
purchased and annexed the property with an R -A zoning district, which allows the plant site as a
use permitted by right. Numerous public meetings were held in the decision to locate the new
facility, which is needed to facilitate the growth Fayetteville is experiencing.
Proposal: The proposal consists of the development of the WWTP to treat the wastewater flows
generated within the Illinois River watershed from the City of Fayetteville. The Westside
Treatment Facility will treat flows in the Illinois River Basin and the existing facility will serve
the White River Basin. It will capture much of the wastewater that is currently pumped to the
Paul R. Noland plant on the east side of Fayetteville. Within the developed site are numerous
functions and structures which comprise the overall system. Only a small portion of the property
will be accessible to visitors, as security is a high priority. The design of the WWTP also

• •
complies with numerous local, county, state and federal regulations with regard to the overall
function, much of which is outside the purview of the Large Scale Development review.
The Planning Commission's purpose for this project is to review the submitted proposal for
compliance with applicable provisions and requirements of the Unified Development Code,
including the Landscape Plan, Tree Preservation Plan, street improvements, water/wastewater
access, appropriate screening, etc. Staff has evaluated the project plan based on the criteria in the
Unified Development Code and included conditions of approval as part of the staff report.
Public Comment: Public comment from adjoining property owners has been received by mail,
and is included in the staff report. Many object to the use of the WWTP in this area, however it is
a use by right, and was brought into the city for the specific purpose of this plant use. Screening
is a large component of the project, on both the east and west sides of the property, as indicated
in previous public meetings and shown on landscape plans. Additionally, odor concerns have
been cited as objectionable with this use. The project is designed as an advanced biological
nutrient removal treatment system, also equipped with U.V. disinfection facilities and advanced
odor control facilities including biofilters and bioscrubbers. No public comment was received at
the Subdivision Committee meeting.
Screening: As a use by right and not industrial or commercial in nature, this property is
technically not subject to screening requirements by the Unified Development Code. However,
the public input process brought up concerns with regard to screening of the uses from adjacent
properties and the design development has subsequently responded with the submitted landscape
and tree preservation plans. Natural screening from large tree preservation buffers to the
south/southeast effective screens much of the property from this vantage point. Earthen berms
with evergreen and deciduous plantings are sited along the eastern portion of the property to
screen much of the required security fencing and structures, as well. Approximately 1158 feet
separates the developed area of the WWTP from 54th Street, and additional plantings are located
along this street to provide a future streetscape and screen from the west. To the north is 26 acres
of wetland mitigation area within a deed -restricted easement, protected in perpetuity from other
uses. The developed site is approximately 2500 feet (1/2 mile) from Persimmon Street to the
north, where the nearest adjacent northern property owners are located. There are additional off-
site trees that currently prohibit the view of this property from the north.
Fencing: Chain link fencing and omamental metal fencing is proposed to surround the
immediate plant site for security purposes. All razor/barbed wire necessary is prohibited if
visible from the street right-of-way.

conditions:
Conditions to Address/Discuss:
The associated property line adjustment shall be filed of record prior to the release of
construction plans.
2. All proposed easements shall be recorded by easement plat or separate document, and
shall consist of the entire 322 -acre tract. Off-site easements that are necessary from
adjacent property owners shall be obtained and recorded by separate document, prior
to building permit.
3. Formal easement and/or right-of-way vacation requests shall be submitted, reviewed
and approved by City Council prior to building permit for those structures affected by
existing easements and right-of-way.
4. The potential relocation of large overhead electric lines/poles, installation of new gas
lines, fiber optic relocation, and all other utility connections shall be coordinated with
the appropriate utility service providers during the construction process.
5. The City Council shall review the Master Street Plan amendments associated with the
project for both the realignment of Broyles Road and Sellers Road. Staff recommends
Broyles Road be realigned as indicated on the attached plan, to make the same
connection. Staff recommends Sellers Road, which is unconstructed with the
exception of an existing gravel road west of the WWTP site, to be moved south to
Woolsey Farm Road and connect to the existing Sellers Road to the west through the
city's property on the southwest.
6. Planning Commission determination of street improvements. Staff recommends the

Re: Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant (RLF No. CS -050803-03)
and Broyles Avenue Improvements
Dear Mr. Pate:
We are pleased to submit with this letter the Large Scale Development (LSD) plans for the
above -referenced project of the Gty of Fayetteville. The following is a description of the scope,
nature and intent of the proposed City of Fayetteville development.
Construction of a new wastewater treatment fadlity is being planned for a 40 -acre site located
on a 322 -acre property owned by the Gty of Fayetteville. The site is bordered by Persimmon
Street to the north and Broyles Avenue to the east. The Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP) will be designed to treat the wastewater flows generated within the Illinois River
watershed. The WWTP will be designed as an advanced biological nutrient removal (BNR)
treatment system capable of treating an annual average flow of 10 million gallons per day. The
WWTP will be equipped with U.V. disinfection fadlities and advanced odor control facilities
including biofilters and bioscrubbers.
The development of the site will also include a Wetland Mitigation site consisting of
approximately 26 acres of created and enhanced palustrine-emergent and palustrine-forested
wetlands. The wetland mitigation site will be created as a deed -restricted easement, protected
in perpetuity from other uses.
The development of the site will also indude improvements to Broyles Avenue, currently a
gravel road with open drainage ditches. The improvements will indude the construction of
approximately 1 mile of a 28 -foot wide, curb and guttered collector street with associated
drainage structures and sidewalks. The improvements will extend from the intersection of
Persimmon Street south to the southern property line of the 322 -acre site, which is contiguous
with the Gty of Farmington city limits.
Sincerely,
M. Lane Crider, P.E.
