The above referenced annexation and rezoning requests were heard before the Planning
Commission on February 241h 2020. The Planning Commission voted to neither recommend the
annexation nor the rezoning; therefore I write you this letter on behalf of the Petitioners to formally
appeal that decision and ask that the appeal of both the annexation and rezoning be put on the next
appropriate City Council Agenda.
I thank you for your consideration concerning this request and if this letter is lacking
anything to be officially considered a formal request please let me know immediately. The
applicants will submit their reasons why they believe the City Council should approve the
annexation and rezoning when these two (2) requests are placed on the agenda. I thank you in
advance.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: RZN 20-6996: Rezone (HUGHMOUNT RD. NORTH OF MT.
COMFORT/HUGHMOUNT REZONE, 282): Submitted by HALL ESTILL
ATTORNEYS, INC. for properties located along HUGHMOUNT RD. NORTH OF
MT. COMFORT. The properties are in the FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING AREA and
contain approximately 152.00 acres. The request is to rezone the properties, in
conjunction with an annexation, to R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL, RSF-1,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 1 UNIT PER ACRE, RSF-8, RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE, NC, NEIGHBORHOOD
CONSERVATION, & NS-G, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES -GENERAL.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Planning staff recommend approval of a request to rezone the subject proeprty as
described and shown in the attached Exhibits 'A' and 'B', excluding parcel #001-16799-000,
described by the applicant as "Hughmount North". The Planning Commission denied the proposal
and the applicant has appealed the decision to City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is northwest of Fayetteville in unincorporated Washington County. The
overall property includes numerous parcels on both the east and west sides of Hughmount Road,
between Weir and Mount Comfort Roads. The property is generally level, sloping gradually
downward towards the Clabber Creek corridor to the south. Although significant areas of the
property remain largely undeveloped, approximately 54 acres was platted as the Hughmount
Village subdivision.
In 2012, City Council approved Resolution 183-12 allowing the extension of Fayetteville's
sewerage system to the Hughmount Village subdivision. Subsequently, in 2013 City Council
approved Resolution 144-13 amending the previous agreement to ensure the property's
development subject to the requirements of Fayetteville's Unified Development Code, including
tree preservation, drainage, building permitting, and other associated fees and dedications. A
clause within the resolution required developers or owners to seek annexation when legally
possible. Annexation was not legal in 2013 due to the lack of contiguous boundaries between
Hughmount Village and incorporated Fayetteville. Staff evaluation indicates that development
requirements have been met.
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
Request: The request is to rezone the overall 152-acre property to a mixture of zoning districts,
including R-A, Residential Agricultural, RSF-1, Residential Single-family, 1 Unit per Acre, RSF-8,
Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre, NC, Neighborhood Conservation, and NS-G,
Neighborhood Services, General (see attached exhibit). Areas of R-A, totaling approximately
47.86 acres, include the southernmost properties and land designated as FEMA floodplain. One
1.19-acre property, developed with a single-family residential property east of Hughmount Road
has requested RSF-1. To the north, south, and southeast of this, 8.68 acres is proposed as NC.
Father south along Hughmount Road, an area that includes 2.48 acres on the west side of the
street is proposed as NS-G. The remainder of the overall property, totaling approximately 91.79
acres is proposed as RSF-8.
Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is generally compatible with the surrounding land
use patterns. Coupled with the existing Hughmount Village subdivision, residential uses are
present to the south and east of the subject property. The small area proposed as NS-G
represents potential non-residential uses that can serve the surrounding neighborhoods with
limited to no potential for nuisance.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be generally in agreement with the
Future Land Use Map and its designation of the property as Residential Neighborhood Area.
Property classified as Residential Neighborhood Area is appropriately developed with a large
spectrum of residential uses, including single-family. This is complimented by the proposed RSF-
1, RSF-8, and NC zoning requests. Similarly, the 2.28 acres of the property proposed as NS-G
allows for appropriately -scaled nonresidential along a connecting corridor, Hughmount Road.
That being said, staff does not find the proposal to rezone the northernmost portion of the property
to RSF-8 to be consistent with the Rural Residential Area designation applied to that property.
This designation is not intended to support typical suburban development. Instead, properties
designated Rural Residential Area ought to maintain their rural character or, if developed, be
proposed in a conservation subdivision pattern, with sensitive areas preserved and density
concentrated.
Regarding City Plan 2040 and its adopted goals, the request is complimentary of the aspiration
to assemble an Enduring Green Network. The applicant's proposal to rezone floodplains areas
of Clabber Creek and its tributary to R-A will limit development of these sensitive areas and not
adversely affect the proposed future trail connection along the riparian corridor. Lacking a true
open space zoning designation, Fayetteville Planning staff, the Commission, and Council have
utilized R-A as a tool for sensitive areas, such as floodplains.
While the request compliments the Enduring Green Network, staff does not find elements of the
proposal to be consistent with other goals of City Plan 2040. Firstly, and with due consideration
for the presence of existing water and sewer, and de facto Fayetteville Fire Department response,
the property's peripheral location is largely inappropriate for infill, and is, in turn, arguably sprawl.
Secondly, the property's location has inherent transportation costs for residents that can make
any future residential development unattainable. Lastly, although construction of the Clabber
Creek Trail along this property's southern extent will facilitate active transportation, public transit
will likely not be available to the site in the near- or long-term.
Given all of these considerations, and with the exception of the northernmost portion of property
proposed as RSF-8, staff supports the request for two primary reasons: the alignment of the
proposal with the property's Future Land Use Map's designation and compatibility of the proposed
permitted uses with neighboring property.
City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a varying score for the subject property, ranging from one
along the northwestern extent of the property to five further south and near Hughmount Road.
The following elements of the matrix contribute to the score:
• Near an Public School (Holt)
• Near Park (Hughmount Village & Clabber Creek)
• Near Trail (Clabber Creek Trail)
• Near Water Main (Hughmount Road and Hughmount Subdivision)
• Near Sewer Main (Hughmount Road and Hughmount Subdivision)
DISCUSSION:
On February 24, 2020, the Planning Commission denied the proposal by a vote of 8-0-0. Public
comment was made from several nearby residents and a Housing Authority representative.
Nearby residents were in favor of the annexation request, but opposed to the concurrently -
submitted rezoning, citing concerns about excess density, increased traffic, and potentially
inadequate infrastructure. The Housing Authority representative supported the request, but at a
higher density than currently present in adjacent incorporated areas, and with the potential benefit
of added sales tax revenue from online purchases.

CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO
ARKANSAS
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Jonathan Curth, Development Review Manager
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2020 (Updated with Planning Commission Results)
SUBJECT: RZN 20-6996: Rezone (HUGHMOUNT RD. NORTH OF MT.
COMFORT/HUGHMOUNT REZONE, 282): Submitted by HALL ESTILL
ATTORNEYS, INC. for properties located along HUGHMOUNT RD.
NORTH OF MT. COMFORT. The properties are in the FAYETTEVILLE
PLANNING AREA and contain approximately 152.00 acres. The request is
to rezone the properties, in conjunction with an annexation, to R-A,
RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL, RSF-8, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE
FAMILY, 8 UNITS PER ACRE, NC, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION,
NS-G, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES -GENERAL, & RSF-1,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, 1 UNIT PER ACRE.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding RZN 20-6996 to the City Council with a recommendation of
approval.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to forward RZN 20-6996 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval."
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is northwest of Fayetteville in unincorporated Washington County. The
overall property includes numerous parcels on both the east and west sides of Hughmount Road,
between Weir and Mount Comfort Roads. The property is generally level, sloping gradually
downward towards the Clabber Creek corridor to the south. Although large areas of the property
remain largely undeveloped, approximately 54 acres was platted as the Hughmount Village
subdivision. In 2012, City Council approved Resolution 183-12 allowing the extension of
Fayetteville's sewerage system to the subdivision. In exchange, the property was developed
subject to the requirements of the Fayetteville's Unified Development Code, including tree
preservation, drainage, building permitting, and other associated fees and dedications. This
resolution was amended in 2014 under Resolution 17-14 to address development modifications.
Among the changes to the agreement, the homeowners of Hughmount Village are to petition for
annexation when legally possible. Surrounding land uses and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

Page 1 of 20
Request: The request is to rezone the overall 152-acre property to a mixture of zoning districts,
including R-A, Residential Agricultural, RSF-1, Residential Single-family, 1 Unit per Acre, RSF-8,
Residential Single-family, 8 Units per Acre, NC, Neighborhood Conservation, and NS-G,
Neighborhood Services, General (see attached exhibit). Areas of R-A, totaling approximately
47.86 acres, include the southernmost properties and land designated as FEMA floodplain. One
1.19-acre property, developed with a single-family residential property east of Hughmount Road
has requested RSF-1. To the north, south, and southeast of this, 8.68 acres is proposed as NC.
Father south along Hughmount Road, an area that includes 2.48 acres on the west side of the
street is proposed as NS-G. The remainder of the overall property, totaling approximately 91.79
acres is proposed as RSF-8.
Public Comment: Staff has received public inquiries regarding this request and its associated
rezoning (ANX 20-6995), but no statements of support or opposition.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The subject properties have direct access to Hughmount Road. Per the 2040
Master Street Plan, Hughmount Road is not designated and would generally be
considered a Residential Link. Properties proposed for annexation to the north
and south of Hughmount village have access to public streets built in association
with Hughmount Village. These were required to meet Fayetteville's block length
and connectivity requirements, and were stubbed out for future connectivity. Any
drainage or street improvements required would be determined at the time of
development proposal.
Water: Public water is available to the subject property. An existing, looped 6-inch water
main provides service along Hughmount Road while 8-inch mains are installed
throughout Hughmount village. Mains within Hughmount Village are stubbed out
at five locations to facilitate future service.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is available to portions of the subject property. An existing 8-ich
sanitary sewer main serves the Hughmount Village subdivision. Mains within
Hughmount Village are stubbed out at five locations to facilitate future service.
Future development in this area will require sewer capacity analysis as this line
may not be adequate to support additional impact.
Drainage: No portion of the site lies within the Hilltop -Hillside Overlay District. Given the
presence of Clabber Creek and an unnamed tributary along the southern portion
of the subject property, FEMA-designated floodplains, streamside protection
zones, and hydric soils are all present.
Fire: The property will be protected by Station 7, located at 835 North Rupple Road,
which is approximately 2.8 miles from the subject property. The anticipated
response time would be approximately nine minutes. This is outside the response
time goal of six minutes for an engine and eight minutes for a ladder truck.
Of note, a new fire station is proposed near the intersection of Deane Street and
Porter Road which would serve the subject property. The response time from the
new station would be approximately seven minutes. This is outside the response

time goal of six minutes for an engine, but within the response time goal of eight
minutes for a ladder truck.
Police: The Police Department did not express any concerns with this request.
CITY PLAN 2030 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates
the properties within the proposed rezone as Residential Neighborhood Area and Rural
Residential Area.
Residential Neighborhood Areas are primarily residential in nature and support a variety
of housing types of appropriate scale and context, including single-family, multi -family, and
rowhouses. Development is encouraged to be highly -connected, with compact blocks, grid
street pattern and reduced setbacks. Low -intensity, non-residential uses are encouraged
at appropriate locations, such as on corners and connecting corridors.
Rural Residential Areas are primarily large lot residential and agricultural in nature. If
developed, land use should follow a conservation or cluster pattern to preserve surrounding
rural areas.
FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use
planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans.
Finding: Land Use Compatibility: The proposed zoning is generally compatible with
the surrounding land use patterns. Coupled with the existing Hughmount
Village subdivision, residential uses are present to the south and east of the
subject property. The small area proposed as NS-G represents potential non-
residential uses that can serve the surrounding neighborhoods with limited
to no potential for nuisance.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be generally in
agreement with the Future Land Use Map and its designation of the property
as Residential Neighborhood Area. Property classified as Residential
Neighborhood Area is appropriately developed with a large spectrum of
residential uses, including single-family. This is complimented by the
proposed RSF-1, RSF-8, and NC zoning requests. Similarly, the 2.28 acres of
the property proposed as NS-G allows for appropriately -scaled
nonresidential along a connecting corridor, Hughmount Road.
That being said, staff does not find the proposal to rezone the northernmost
portion of the property to RSF-8 to be consistent with the Rural Residential
Area designation applied to that property. This designation is not intended
to support typical suburban development. Instead, properties designated
Rural Residential Area ought to maintain their rural character or, if
developed, be proposed in a conservation subdivision pattern, with sensitive
areas preserved and density concentrated.
Regarding City Plan 2040 and its adopted goals, the request is
complimentary of the aspiration to assemble an Enduring Green Network.
The applicant's proposal to rezone floodplains areas of Clabber Creek and
its tributary to R-A will limit development of these sensitive areas and not
adversely affect the proposed future trail connection along the riparian

corridor. Lacking a true open space zoning designation, Fayetteville
Planning staff, the Commission, and Council have utilized R-A as a tool for
sensitive areas, such as floodplains.
While the request compliments the Enduring Green Network, staff does not
find elements of the proposal to be consistent with other goals of City Plan
2040. Firstly, the property's peripheral location is largely inappropriate for
infill, and is, in turn, arguably sprawl. Secondly, the property's location has
inherent transportation costs for residents that can make any future
residential development unattainable. Lastly, although construction of the
Clabber Creek Trail along this property's southern extent will facilitate active
transportation, public transit will likely not be available to the site in the near -
or long-term.
On the balance of issues, and with the exception of the northernmost portion
of property proposed as RSF-8, staff supports the request for two primary
reasons: the alignment of the proposal with the property's Future Land Use
Map's designation and compatibility of the proposed permitted uses with
neighboring property.
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff contends that the applicant's rezoning request is justified given the
request's general consistency with the Future Land Use Map and
compatibility with surrounding land uses, and the presence of City utilities.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The site has access to Hughmount Road, which in turn has direct access to
Mount Comfort to the south, and will have access to the future connection
of Rupple Road to the east. Although traffic accident data is unavailable for
unincorporated areas, existing data for streets immediately inside the City
limits indicate no traffic danger that will be exacerbated. Further, any
development of the subject properties will be subject to staff review,
including but not limited to adherence to the Unified Development Code.
Development review may necessitate on- or off -site street improvements to
ensure minimization of congestion and safe movement for vehicles and
pedestrians.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and
thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: Rezoning the property from the current Washington County AG/SF Res 1
zoning designation will almost certainly lead to greater density on the
subject property than would otherwise occur. That being said, adjacency to
existing water, sewer, and street infrastructure will limit the potential for
density having an adverse impact. Further, the Police Department has
expressed objection to the proposal and, no comment has been received

from the Fayetteville Public School District. However, the Fire Department
has advised that serving this area is beyond the current response time goal
of the existing station on Rupple Road. A proposed new fire station at Deane
and Porter will reduce this, but it may still fall outside response time goals.
5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of
considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed
zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as:
a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted
under its existing zoning classifications:
b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning even
though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why the
proposed zoning is not desirable.
Finding: N/A

Request
Letter REZONING STATEMENT
The Petitioners desire to simultaneously rezone their property while they also petition to annex the
property into the city. Please see the attached hereto Exhibit "A" a plat with the specific requested
zones per parcel. These parcels designated RSF-8, N-C and NS-G will make those properties
developable in accordance with and in a compatible way with the surrounding properties.
Specifically, ZONING to the South and East of these parcels are RSF-4 and the existing
subdivision of Hughmount Village Estates is currently built out at a density quite compatible to
RSF-4. There is one parcel of land on Exhibit "A" that we are requesting to be brought in at RSF-
1. There are two (2) parcels not shown on Exhibit "A", Heyliger and Kilgore, that we ask to be
brought in R-A. All of these zoning requests are compatible with the surrounding properties but
also are in line with the goals of City Plan 2030 in that these zonings would permit the appropriate
infill without producing suburban sprawl. It also will be easily connectable to both a livable
transportation network and an enduring green network and will lend itself to affordable housing as
well.

Re: HUGHMOUNT ANX AND RZN
Dear Garner:
Robert K. Rhoads
75 N East Avenue, Suite 500
Fayetteville, AR 72701.5388
Direct Dial: (479) 973-5202
Facsimile: (479) 973-0520
rrhoads@hallestill.com
Pursuant to our prior conversations on the above referenced annexation and rezoning, I
write this letter in hopes that the City's Planning Department will support both the annexation (in
its entirety) and rezoning.
BACKGROUND: the subject property of this annexation and rezoning was primarily
owned by Ms. Johnelle Hunt and Phil Phillips, when around 2008, the City of Fayetteville
inadvertently put sewer lines across the property without the owner's knowledge and without any
sort of easement. As a result of that innocent mistake the City agreed to supply water and sewer
to the property, see attached Exhibit A, the agreement and accompanying resolutions. As part of
this agreement the City wanted the Hughmount Subdivision to be annexed into the City "as soon
as legally possible". See Resolution No.17-14, Exhibit A. During the course of developing the
subdivision the owners employed Rob Sharp, architect, and attached is a rendering from his file
from the summer of2009 showing a land plat of the subdivision (Exhibit B). Note, this plat shows
several phases of Hughmount Village as it was the expressed intent of the owners to have water
and sewer supplied by the City for all of Hughmount no matter which phase they developed first
and accordingly all phases annexed too, no matter if a peninsula was created. For economic and
other practical considerations only the middle phase has been developed so far. During discussions
with the City, both the owners and Mr. Sharp made clear, and, the City agreed, that water and
sewer would be supplied to all phases of Hughmount Subdivision and it was the understanding of
the parties then when the City Council voted and the Mayor signed the contract and the resolution
that the entire subdivision (all phases) would be annexed into the City in part because the City did
not want to have package or S.T.E.P. waste systems on any of this subject property. Therefore the
City required Hughmount Village to be developed by City standards even though it wasn't yet in
the City. As to date, the phase which was done first has been built out 100% and the owners now
want to do the other phases which would include what is called Hughmount North on Exhibit C.
Garner Stoll
May 11, 2020
Page 2
REASONS TO ANNEX THE ENTIRE SUBJECT PROPERTY: Again, the first phase
of Hughmount Village, that is currently 100% developed, has truly been built to the City's
standards, as a quick drive through it will show. The Developers, at their cost, also improved the
intersection of Hughmount Road and Mount Comfort and improved Hughmount Road to City
standards, by adding two feet to each side and paving it. Further, the City issued and the owners
paid approximately One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000) for building and sewer
permits. Developers of the existing Hughmount Village also met all other requirements such as
but not limited to, planting approximately 333 trees (plus two tree bonds of $138,375 and $48,000),
putting in trail sub -structure, dedicating park land, and etc.
Regarding Hughmount North, it was to be the next phase and as stated before, was always
part of the Hughmount Village Subdivision and was always meant to be serviced with water and
sewer and be part of the annexation. As evidence of this you will note that the City has physically
built and stubbed out two man holes on Hughmount North, which further shows the City's intent
of bringing into the City this subject property including the North. That prior City Council's
commitment to annex all of the subject property and the owners' reliance on it far outweigh the
issue of creating a peninsula. Also note on Exhibit C about five (5) blocks east, the City already
has an existing peninsula (and another one just a block further east) which could over time through
future annexations connect to Hughmount North. Further, at the top of Hughmount North is where
the City plans to have an east to west street allowing for better traffic flow and less traffic on
Mount Comfort Road, which the developer of Hughmount North will keep in mind as he plans the
northern boundary. See Exhibit D outlining the City's present and future street plans.
Please see Exhibit E that show the existing Clabber Creek Greenway and Trail System and
the future trail system that would go into and be part of this annexation thereby allowing the City
to achieve its objective of preserving greenways whenever and wherever possible (the Enduring
Green Network).
The City would also have the following advantages by passing this entire annexation:
increased sales tax revenue, increased attainable housing, library millage, impact fees, etc. Note,
that if any of this subject property develops under a county standards at some point the City will
annex it in, and when that happens, since it is already developed, there would be no collection of
impact fees. Further, by annexing now the City can make sure the developments are done up to
the City's grading, storm water management, tree preservation, building inspection, energy
conversation, quality construction standards, and etc. standards.
As noted in Exhibit C the subject property, if rezoned as requested by the owners, would
be six (6) different categories: Neighborhood Conservation; there is one area, RSF 1, for the Slape
property that is currently in existence; RSF-4; Neighborhood Services along Hughmount Road
Garner Stoll

would by definition provide services to the annexed property; and lastly the Residential
Agriculture would help the City in their City Plan 2040 goals and Enduring Green Network goals.
For all the above reasons the petitioners respectfully request the Planning Department to
support this entire annexation and rezoning. If I have misstated anything or if there are any
questions please contact me as soon as possible so when we go to the City Council at least from a
factual standpoint we are all on the same page. I look forward to working with you as always.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO
AGREEMENT TO ALLOW ACCESS TO CITY SEWERAGE SYSYTEM
AND TO IMPOSE DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS
WHEREAS, the developers/owners of Hughmount Village, whose project is close to,
but outside the Fayetteville city limits, desire to be allowed to connect to and use the City of
Fayetteville sewerage system's wastewater facilities for their proposed residential development;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Fayetteville does not wish to grant owners/developers of
Hughmount Village (or any similarly situated development) any advantage over owners/
developers who will build and develop property within the City of Fayetteville; and
WHEREAS, on September 4, 2012, the City Council of the City of Fayetteville passed
Resolution NO. 183-12 permitting such access, but the terms of the Contract were incompatible
with the Conditional Use Permit issued for this development by Washington County so that an
Amended Agreement was needed and approved by Resolution NO. 144-13 on June 18, 2013; and
WHEREAS, the Developer now needs to remove the alleys from his development to be
able to sell his lots and so slightly redesigned his plat which was approved by the Washington
County Planning Board which granted a new Conditional Use for Project #2013-155, and
WHEREAS, the City of Fayetteville is willing to allow developers/owners of
Hughmount Village to connect to and utilize the City's wastewater treatment facilities only upon
the developers/owners' express agreement to develop their residential project pursuant to all City
of Fayetteville requirements for inside the city residential projects including:
(1) All street frontage, density, lot area requirements, etc. as granted by the
Conditional Use Permit approved by the Washington County Planning
Board for Project #2013-155.
(2) Apply for and successfully complete the full preliminary plat/final plat
process including payment of all appropriate fees.
(3) Comply with all grading, stonmwater, tree preservation and other
development requirements as if this development was occurring within the
City of Fayetteville.
(4) Pay for all normal permits and application fees at the normal time
including preliminary/final plat, building fees for each structure, and
water, sewer, police, and fire impact fees.
(5) To satisfy normal parkland dedication requirements, the City of
Fayetteville Parks Board approved the dedication of 3.169 acres of land within
Common Property 9 at their September 10, 2012 meeting. The exact limits of
the park land dedication will be located west of the tree preservation area and
will be determined at the Final Plat after drainage and utility improvements are
constructed. In addition, the Developer shall dedicate a trail easement
sufficient to connect from the crosswalk at Common Property 8 at Cotton
Willow Drive to the southern border of the property to meet a possible trail
extension from the south from the Clabber Creek Trail. This trail and parkland
shall remain the developer's or Property Owners Association's duty to
maintain in good condition (which duty shall be in an irrevocable restrictive
covenant in each property's deed until and unless this entire parcel has been
annexed into the City of Fayetteville).
(6) Construct all infrastructure (except alleys which are no longer required to
be constructed in Project #2013-155): streets, drainage, sidewalks, water
and sewer mains to City of Fayetteville and Washington County standards
as previously approved by the Fayetteville Planning Commission on
March 25, 2013 (PPL 13-4304) and by the Washington County Planning
Board on May 2, 2013 (Project #2013-024) and recently amended by the
Washington County Planning Board to Project #2013-155. Water and
sewer infrastructure is to be dedicated to the City of Fayetteville, street
and drainage infrastructure is to be dedicated to Washington County.
HUGHMOUNT VILLAGE OWNERS/DEVELOPERS, in consideration of being
allowed to utilize the City of Fayetteville sewerage system and wastewater facilities for their
proposed development, do hereby agree to all terms and conditions stated above and promise to
develop their property in full compliance with all requirements of the Unified Development
Code as if their development was inside the city limits.
Further developers/owners of Hughmount Village pledge and promise to seek immediate
annexation into the City of Fayetteville as soon as it becomes legally possible and to place this
requirement within the covenants and deeds for each property within its development. In
agreement with all the terms, conditions, pledges and promises above, the City of
Fayetteville and the owners/developers of Hughmount Village sign below.

CC: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney
DATE: June 5, 2020
RE: Mistake in tabling two measures
Kit Williams
City Attorney
Blake Pennington
Assistant City Attorney
Jodi Batker
Paralegal
While I was trying to be helpful last night when the City Council was about
to table a couple of items: a Resolution for Rules or Order and an Ordinance to
Rezone Hughmount Road property; I instead confused the motion.
I believe that the City Council and sponsors of both items desired to table
the items to our next meeting, but spoke about "two weeks." I thought I was
correcting this tabling motion from our Thursday night meeting when I suggested
"First meeting in July;' but I misspoke. I should have said "Second meeting in
June" which I believe was everyone's intention.
This was my mistake alone. I do not like to make mistakes, nor do I enjoy
admitting them. But I will not follow our fearless leader in D.C.'s example of
refusing to admit even the most trivial and obvious mistakes. I goofed, and so I
now need to explain how the City Council can overcome my error.
I will ask the Mayor and City Clerk to leave item #2 of Unfinished Business:
Resolution to Amend Rules of Order and item #5 of Unfinished Business:
Ordinance to Rezone Hughmount Road Property on the June 16th meeting Agenda
although they were tabled until the July 7th meeting (by my mistake). Normally a
tabled item does not appear again on your Agenda until the meeting to which it is
tabled.
By including these two tabled items on your next Agenda for June 16th, the
Council can take them from table and have the full Agenda item before them for
easy reference. To do this a Council Member would need to make the following
motion when we reach that item in Unfinished Business: "I move we take the
Resolution to Amend the Rules of Order and Procedure of the Fayetteville City Council
from the table for consideration at this meeting." A similar motion for the rezoning
ordinance would also need to be made when we reach that item in Unfinished
Business. Both motions would need to be seconded and then passed by the City
Council. You can then consider and vote on these items during the June 16th
meeting which I believe was your intention.
Another advantage to having these items appear on your Agenda is to have
a place and time during your meeting when it would be appropriate to remove
the resolution or ordinance from the table for your consideration. I apologize for
my error which dawned on me as I drove home after the meeting... an "Oops"
moment. With the Council's help, my mistake can be corrected without any harm
to the rezoning applicant nor to your intention to go forward with the Rules of
Order and Procedure item at your upcoming meeting.

DATE: June 15, 2020
RE: Minutes of June 4, 2020 Meeting
Both the motions to table the Procedural Rules and Hughmount Rezoning
were to the July 7th meeting. Even though I caused this date for tabling by giving
mistaken advice, that was what the City Council approved. Even though this was
probably an error, the City Council must undo this error themselves. Thus, unless
the City Council removes one or both items by Motion to Remove From the Table
during tomorrow night's meeting, those items will not be heard.
The minutes should properly reflect a tabling until the July 7th meeting.
