Although a very short portion of the east side of the corridor north and south 'of Clear Creek Drive is in the City of Springdale, Springdale is not a formal party to the agreement. However, Springdale officials have been consulted during the Plan development and will be consulted on the rare. occasion that Springdale property may be impacted. II. ROUTE — This access management agreement pertains to Highway 265, also' known as Crossover Road south of Clear Creek Drive and Old Missouri Road to the north, from the intersection with Township Street north to the intersection with Ivey Lane, (the Roadway). See Appendix A, Figure 1. III. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE — Highway 265 is a principal arterial on the City master street plan and serves as an intra -regional arterial roadway connecting the City to its economic region. The primary purpose for this agreement is to protect the capacity of the roadway to carry significant local and intra -regional traffic while increasing the safety for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians that use this facility. It is the intent of this agreement to provide access to abutting properties consistent with this objective. IV. AUTHORITY — Both. the City and the Commission have specific legal authority to regulate access to public roads. In the case of the City, it is found in Arkansas Code Annotated 14 56-419 In the case of the Commission, it is found in Arkansas Code Annotated 27-65-107. The MPO is hereby granted standing in this access management agreement by the City and the Commission in recognition of its role in transportation planning within the metropolitan area. V. ACCESS PLAN — Management of access to the roadway is necessary to achieve the primary purpose of the agreement. The access management plan (the Plan) is detailed in Appendix A. The Plan is a Specific Access Management Plan in which all median breaks are specifically identified. Standards for driveways are also established to be applied during plat review i prior to development approval by the City. In addition, any property interconnect agreements and requirements or new local roadways needed to facilitate median construction are included in this Plan. VI. AGREEMENT ADOPTION/TERMINATION/MODIFICATION — This agreement will be deemed adopted when passed in identical form by the Fayetteville City Council, the Northwest Arkansas MPO, and the Arkansas State Highway Commission and signed by their proper representatives. This agreement may be terminated or modified, in whole or in part only by mutual agreement of all of the parties as evidenced• by resolutions adopted by each governing body VII. PLAN ADMINISTRATION — A. Permit Application. A permit issued by the Department will be required for new driveway access to the Roadway. Any legal person owning property abutting the Roadway may request a driveway access permit The permit will be requested through a designated administrative process from the City of Fayetteville. The applicant is required to submit a detailed plan for the driveway including a map showing its exact location and a design that shows the curb radii, driveway throat width and length, and that specifies the projected volume of turns into and out of the driveway Any joint access agreements with other property owners should also be submitted. After review of the application, the City determines whether the request is within the allowable parameters established by the Plan. If so, the City stamps the detailed plan with a review signature block (Appendix B), signs it indicating approval, enters any approval conditions in the comment section, and returns to the applicant. The applicant will then submit the stamped plan to the Department's District 4 Permit Officer for review. If the City has approved the application as evidenced by the signature of a properly designated administrative representative and if the application meets all Department cnteria for issuance of such a permit, the Department will sign the .approval block and issue a permit to the applicant. If the signature of a designated City representative is missing from the permit application, the Department will not issue a permit. In the rare case that a driveway permit is submitted to the Department in the short section within the City of Springdale, all signatories will be informed of 2 the application and will make anoint determination in consultation with the City of Springdale. B. Amending the Plan. A Plan amendment (variance) will be considered at the request of any of the parties to this agreement or at the request of an applicant whose permit request has been denied by any of the parties. The proposed amendment must be adopted in identical form by the Fayetteville City Council, the Northwest Arkansas MPO, and the Arkansas State Highway Commission to become effective. The Plan will be updated immediately after construction of each widened portion of the Roadway is completed to reflect any changes to driveway location due to that construction if necessary.

Consequently, access to abutting property is subordinate to the goal of traffic movement and subject to necessary management of entrances and exits. Design Elements Raised median -divided facility • Median breaks generally spaced at 1/4 mile intervals • Traffic signals generally spaced at 1/2 mile intervals Future signal locations at median breaks will be determined by meeting warrants, on a case by case basis. Future median breaks may be considered if there is an identified safety or operational problem, or both, at an adjacent intersection with an existing median break. Quick turn -around (bulb -out) design at all median breaks to allow U-turns. Nine (9) full directional median breaks (identified by MB# on the following maps) with quick turnarounds at the following locations: • MB #1 - Ferguson Avenue/Candlewood Drive, • MB #2 - Old Wire Road, • MB #3 - Par Court, • MB #4 - Joyce Boulevard, • MB #5 - Sterling Court, • MB #6 - West Zion Road, • MB #7 - East Zion Road, • MB #8 - Hearthstone Drive, and • MB #9 - Albright Road.

Existing driveways (identified by ED# on the following maps) in place at the date of the adoption of this Plan that do not conform with the standards herein shall be designated as nonconforming features and shall be brought into compliance with the applicable standards under the following conditions: (a) When new access connection permits are requested; (b) Upon expansion or improvements to commercial or multi -family residential property greater than 50 percent of the assessed property value or gross floor area or volume, or (c) As roadway improvements allow. The location and number of existing driveways shall be updated and amended into the Plan immediately after construction of each widened portion of the Roadway is completed. Property that fronts the Roadway and a lower -classification street should place higher priority on accessing the lower -classification street.

Old Wire Road, functionally classified as a minor arterial, serves the growing area of eastern Fayetteville and parts of Washington County. It also serves a recently built fire station (Fire Station No. 5) immediately to the west. Conditions — Approximately 300 feet to the south of MB #2 will be a mountable curb for access to and from Fire Station No. 5. This is not to be considered a median break, but only a design allowance for emergency vehicles only. A-8 r040440 r01 dgn 10/25/2007 9 55 59 AM MB #2 - Old Wire Road MB #3 - Par Court Rationale - Proposed median break is located at approximately 1 /2 mile between Old Wire Road and Joyce Boulevard. Par Court serves an established subdivision west of Highway 265. The City of Fayetteville's Master Street Plan (MSP) extends Bridgewater Lane as a collector to the west to Highway 265 at Birdie Drive. This connection was made on the Fayetteville MSP after the May 2007 public hearing, assuming the median break was proposed at Birdie Drive. However, the access to Birdie Drive is located within a horizontal curve on Highway 265, while Par Court is not. Par Court is also directly west of Bridgewater Lane which would facilitate a smoother future connection to the east. For the above reasons, a median break is proposed at Par Court. r040440_r01 dgn 10/25/2007 9:59 42 AM MB #3 - Par Court MB #4 - Joyce Boulevard Rationale - Proposed median break is located at an existing signalized intersection.

West Zion Road, functionally classified as a collector, serves the growing commercial and residential areas of north Fayetteville. Fayetteville's MSP extends West Zion Road to the east as a collector. A-16 MB #6 - West Zion Road A-17 MB #7- East Zion Road Rationale - Although the proposed median break is not greater than or equal to 1/4 mile from the West Zion Road median break, it is located at an existing functionally classified collector that serves the growing areas of Fayetteville and Washington County. East of Butterfield Coach Road, East Zion Road becomes Guy Terry Road, and extends to near Beaver Lake. Conditions - With the construction of the median, it is proposed that the Elks Club immediately to the south of East Zion Road have direct access to East Zion Road just east of Highway 265. Also, it is proposed that the Nelson-Berna Funeral Home immediately to the north of East Zion Road have another access drive onto East Zion Road. This is because the internal layout of the business does not allow funeral processions to exit at the existing driveway onto East Zion Road. This proposed new access onto East Zion Road will allow funeral processions with destinations south of Highway 265 to gain access to the proposed median break. M i I I a I la I � I 1 I .

Highway 265 is planned for widening and improvement by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD). On July 3, 2007 the City Council passed Resolution 122-07 "to reaffirm the adopted policy of the City of Fayetteville that Highway 265 North of Mission Boulevard be widened as a principal arterial as depicted on the City Master Street Plan and as shown as Alternate H-1 by the Arkansas Highway & Transportation Department." The Alternate H-1 and the City Master Street Plan is depicted as a four lane section with bike lanes and a median. The final street cross section and median break locations were developed after lengthy discussions at various forums, including AHTD sponsored public involvement meetings, Street Committee Meetings, and City Council Meetings. The proposed Access Management Plan Agreement formalizes the design concept and provides a plan for access management along the Hwy 265 corridor. DISCUSSION: On December 9, 2008 the City Engineer's office received a letter from the AHTD stating that the plan had been finalized after receiving comments from the 30 -day comment period and the last public involvement meeting that was held on September 25, 2008 and the City should formally consider this final draft for adoption. The Plan Agreement establishes the initial design concept and elements, including locations and configurations for the nine median breaks included in the plan. Each median break is designed to allow U-turns and have been detailed in Appendix A to the Plan. In addition, the Agreement sets forth the plan administration framework, and the City Council Meeting of February 3, 2009 method for amending the Plan. The City will be the initial reviewer of any driveway permit applications. If the City approves the application, it must then be submitted by the applicant to AHTD for final review and approval. On Sheet A-3 of the Plan, minimum driveway/street spacing is set at 300 feet and identifies the procedure for addressing existing nonconforming access points. Currently, the City Code requires a minimum spacing of 250 feet between driveways for arterial streets. Driveway permit requests that do not meet the Access Management Plan standards, the request for additional median breaks, and other contemplated changes to the roadway access require a Plan amendment, which must be adopted by the same three parties signing the original Agreement. The Access Management Plan must be approved by the City, the Northwest Arkansas Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and AHTD before construction can begin on Highway 265. This item is scheduled to be presented to the Street Committee on January 26, 2009. BUDGET IMPACT: No budget impacts are anticipated. 2 RESOLUTION NO.

Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 Dear etrie: Reference is made to the Highway 265 Access Management Plan covering the section between Township Street and Ivey Lane. As you know, a public meeting was held on September 25, 2008 that reflected the changes to the design of Highway 265 as a result of the Access Management Plan process that included the City of Fayetteville, the Northwest Arkansas Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and Department staff. After comments were collected and addressed at the end of the 30 -day comment period, it was determined that, no changes to the Plan are necessary. Therefore, it is now appropriate- for the City of Fayetteville to formally consider the final draft of the Plan document e -mailed to you on August 11, 2008 for review and adoption. Once the Fayetteville City Council adopts the Plan, please send a copy of the resolution and three signed original copies of the Plan agreement to the Department. The Department will then send the copies to the Northwest Arkansas MPO for adoption and signature; thereupon, it will be presented to the Arkansas Highway Commission for adoption and signature. Once all three parties have agreed to the Plan, the Plan , will be considered officially adopted, and copies of the Plan agreement will be sent to all three parties. Adoption of the Plan by all parties is required before any construction can begin. RR Mr. Ron Petrie December 9, 2008 Page 2 If additional information is needed, please advise. Sincerely, colt E.

Future median breaks may be considered if there is an identified safety or operational problem, or both, at an adjacent intersection with an existing median break. Quick turn -around (bulb -out) design at all median breaks to allow U-turns. Nine (9) full directional median breaks (identified by MB# on the following maps) with quick turnarounds at the following locations: • MB #1 - Ferguson Avenue/Candlewood Drive, • MB #2 - Old Wire Road, • MB #3 - Par Court, • MB #4 - Joyce Boulevard, • MB #5 - Sterling Court, • MB #6 - West Zion Road, • MB #7 - East Zion Road, • MB #8 - Hearthstone Drive, and o MB #9 - Albright Road. A-1 -2 Minimum access point (driveway or street intersection) spacing of 300 feet from centerline of driveway or street intersection. No parcels along the Roadway shall be subdivided into lot sizes too small to meet the minimum access point spacing requirement unless a written easement agreement is executed between adjacent properties. Existing driveways (identified by ED# on the following maps) in place at the date of the adoption of this Plan that do not conform with the standards herein shall be designated as nonconforming features and shall be brought into compliance with the applicable standards under the following conditions: (a) When new access connection permits are requested; (b) Upon expansion or improvements to commercial or multi -family residential property greater than 50 percent of the assessed property value or gross floor area or volume; or (c) As roadway improvements allow. The location and number of existing driveways shall be updated and amended into the Plan immediately after construction of each widened portion of the Roadway is completed. Property that fronts the Roadway and a lower -classification street should place higher priority on accessing the lower -classification street.

Two established neighborhoods on either side of Highway 265 will be served by MB #1. A-6 lYY MB #2 - Old Wire Road Rationale - Proposed median break is located at an existing signalized intersection. Old Wire Road, functionally classified as a minor arterial, serves the growing area of eastern Fayetteville and parts of Washington County. It also serves a recently built fire station (Fire Station No. 5) immediately to the west. Conditions — Approximately 300 feet to the south of MB #2 will be a mountable curb for access to and from Fire Station No. 5. This is not to be considered a median break, but only a design allowance for emergency vehicles only. M MB #2 - O►d Wire Road rM MB #3 - Par Court Rationale - Proposed median break is located at approximately 1/2 mile between Old Wire Road and Joyce Boulevard. Par Court serves an established subdivision west of Highway 265. The City of Fayetteville's Master Street Plan (MSP) extends Bridgewater Lane as a collector to the west to Highway 265 at Birdie Drive. This connection was made on the Fayetteville MSP after the May 2007 public hearing, assuming the median break was proposed at Birdie Drive. However, the access to Birdie Drive is located within a horizontal curve on Highway 265, while Par Court is not. Par Court is also directly west•of Bridgewater Lane which would facilitate a smoother future connection to the east. For the above reasons, a median break is proposed at Par Court.

East of Butterfield Coach Road, East Zion Road becomes Guy Terry Road, and extends to near Beaver Lake. Conditions - With the construction of the median, it is proposed that the Elks Club immediately to the south of East Zion Road have direct access to East Zion Road just east of Highway 265. Also, it is proposed that the Nelson-Berna Funeral Home immediately to the north of East Zion Road have another access drive onto East Zion Road. This is because the internal layout of the business does not allow funeral processions to exit at the existing driveway onto East Zion Road. This proposed new access onto East Zion Road will allow funeral processions with destinations south of Highway 265 to gain access to the proposed median break.

Clarice file://C:\Documents%20and%2OSettings\cpearman.000\Local%2OSettings\Temp\XPgrpwise\49903 905FAY... 2.9.09 ACCESS MANAGEMENT PLAN AGREEMENT For HIGHWAY 265 IN FAYETTEVILLE I. PARTIES — This agreement is made between the City of Fayetteville (the City), the Arkansas State Highway Commission (the Commission) acting through the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (the Department) and the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission as the designated metropolitan planning organization for Northwest Arkansas under federal transportation regulations (the MPO). Although a very short portion of the east side of the corridor north and south of Clear Creek Drive is in the. City. of Springdale, Springdale is not a formal party to the agreement. However, Springdale officials have been consulted during the Plan development and will be consulted on the rare occasion that Springdale property may be impacted. II. ROUTE — This access management agreement pertains to Highway 265, also known as Crossover Road south of Clear Creek Drive and Old Missouri Road to the north, from the intersection with Township Street north to the intersection with Ivey Lane, (the Roadway). See Appendix A, Figure 1. III. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE — Highway 265 is a principal arterial on the City master street plan and serves as an intra-regional arterial roadway connecting the City to its economic region. The primary purpose for this agreement is to protect the capacity of the roadway to carry significant local and intra-regional traffic while increasing the safety for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians that use this facility. It is the intent of this agreement to provide access to abutting properties consistent with this objective. IV. AUTHORITY — Both the City and the Commission have specific legal authority to regulate access to public roads. In the case of the City, it is found in Arkansas Code Annotated 14-56-419. In the case of the Commission, it is found in Arkansas Code Annotated 27-65-107. The MPO is hereby granted standing in this access management agreement by the City and the Commission in recognition of its role in transportation planning within the metropolitan area. V. ACCESS PLAN — Management of access to the roadway is necessary to achieve the primary purpose of the agreement. The access management plan (the Plan) is detailed in Appendix A. The Plan is a Specific Access Management Plan in which all median breaks are specifically identified. Standards for driveways are also established to be applied during plat review prior to development approval by the City. In addition, any property interconnect agreements and requirements or new local roadways needed to facilitate median construction are included in this Plan. VI. AGREEMENT ADOPTION/TERMINATION/MODIFICATION — This agreement will be deemed adopted when passed in identical form by the Fayetteville City Council, the Northwest Arkansas MPO, and the Arkansas State Highway Commission and signed by their proper representatives. This agreement may be terminated or modified, in whole or in part only by mutual agreement of all of the parties as evidenced by resolutions adopted by each governing body. VII. PLAN ADMINISTRATION — A. Permit Application. A permit issued by the Department will be required for new driveway access to the Roadway. Any legal person owning property abutting the Roadway may request a driveway access permit. The permit will be requested through a designated administrative process from the City of Fayetteville. The applicant is required to submit a detailed plan for the driveway including a map showing its exact location and a design that shows the curb radii, driveway throat width and length, and that specifies the projected volume of turns into and out of the driveway. Any joint access agreements with other property owners should also be submitted. After review of the application, the City determines whether the request is within the allowable parameters established by the Plan. If so, the City stamps the detailed plan with a review signature block (Appendix B), signs it indicating approval, enters any approval conditions in the comment section, and returns to the applicant. The applicant will then submit the stamped plan to the Department's District 4 Permit Officer for review. If the City has approved the application as evidenced by the signature of a properly designated administrative representative and if the application meets all Department criteria for issuance of such a permit, the Department will sign the approval block and issue a permit to the applicant. If the signature of a designated City representative is missing from the permit application, the Department will not issue a permit. In the rare case that a driveway permit is submitted to the Department in the short section within the City of Springdale, all signatories will be informed of N the application and will make a joint determination in consultation with the City of Springdale. B. Amending the Plan. A Plan amendment (variance) will be considered at the request of any of the parties to this agreement or at the request of an applicant whose permit request has been denied by any of the parties. 1 The proposed amendment must be adopted in identical form by the Fayetteville City Council, the Northwest Arkansas MPO, and the Arkansas State Highway Commission to become effective. The Plan will be updated immediately after construction of each widened portion of the Roadway is completed to reflect any changes to driveway location due to that construction if necessary.

Consequently, access to abutting property is subordinate to the goal of traffic movement and subject to necessary management of entrances and exits. Design Elements Raised median -divided facility • Median breaks generally spaced at 1/4 mile intervals • Traffic signals generally spaced at 1/2 mile intervals Future signal locations at median breaks will be determined by meeting warrants, on a case by case basis. Future median breaks may be considered if there is an identified safety or operational problem, or both, at an adjacent intersection with an existing median break.
