CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: PZD-2020-000002: Planned Zoning District (3435 E. ZION RD./CHANDLER
CROSSING SD, 099-100): Submitted by ESI ENGINEERING, INC. for properties
located at 3435 E. ZION RD. The properties are zoned R-A, RESIDENTIAL
AGRICULTURAL and contain approximately 81.89 acres. The request is to rezone
the properties to RPZD, RESIDENTIAL PLANNED ZONING DISTRICT.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of PZD-2020-000002 as shown in Exhibits
'A', 'B', with conditions as shown in Exhibit 'C'.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is in northeast Fayetteville, east of N. Crossover Road and south of E. Zion
Road. The property encompasses two parcels, 765-13219-000 which is in the City of Fayetteville
limits, and 001-15182-000, which is the parcel under question for an associated annexation (ANX-
2020-000001). The properties are rural and agricultural in nature, and assuming the annexation
passes City Council, will both be zoned R-A, Residential Agricultural. The property currently has
a single-family dwelling, which county records indicate was built in 1947, and associated
outbuildings for what has long been an agricultural use. Hilton Creek runs east and west through
the site, and the area surrounding the creek is designated as a flood plain.
Proposal: While Planning Commission reviewed different iterations, the proposal currently
includes 3 Planning Areas, as opposed to the previous 6. The plan is to rezone the property to a
Planned Zoning District (PZD) with both commercial and residential areas.
• Planning Area 1 — 6.20 acres: This planning area is primarily commercial in nature,
though does allow for multi -family dwellings, and is intended to serve surrounding
residential areas with convenience goods and adaptable mixed use. The area is divided
into two locations, the first being located along the property's N. Crossover Road frontage,
and the second is located towards the center of the site.
• Planning Area 2 — 39.63 acres: Making up the primary acreage of the proposal, this area
is categorized by a mix of housing types, ranging from single-family to three- and four -

Fayetteville, AR 72701
family dwellings. The map shows a variety of lot widths, alley -loaded development, and a
gridded street pattern throughout the site.
Planning Area 3 — 36.06 acres: Scattered throughout the site, with primary consideration
for the area surrounding and north of Hilton Creek, this planning area's primary purpose
is to provide open space, detention, drainage, and natural areas (though does allow for
low -density single-family dwellings with two -acre lot area minimums). The site plan also
indicates an intention to provide a linear park extending north and south through the
eastern part of the site, as well as a dedicated area for parkland.
Land Use Compatibility. The current land use of the property in question is rural and agricultural
in nature, and with the proposed annexation, the entire site will be zoned R-A, Residential -
Agricultural prior to the approval of this Planned Zoning District. The property is surrounded by a
mix of land uses, ranging from agricultural along the eastern property to commercial along the
western side of the property and low -density single-family residential to the north and south. The
request takes this into account by establishing higher intensity uses along the N. Crossover
frontage, and decreasing the proposed density and intensity as the proposal moves to the east
and north through the site. The applicant has included an intention through Planning Area 3 to
dedicate parkland to the north of Hilton Creek, which takes into account the available
infrastructure concerns of E. Zion Road given the limited development potential and large lot
sizes; this dedication would require final approval with an associated development. The proposal
also considers the Hilton Creek floodplain by leaving this unbuilt and in a natural state.
Staff also finds that most of the surrounding property remains in the county, which has a limited
suite of by -right allowable uses; staff supports the proposal of low -density residential uses such
as single-family dwellings adjacent to the land in Washington County for compatibility of land uses
not included in the City of Fayetteville boundary. Staff also supports the applicant's inclusion of a
secondary commercial node towards the center of the site, to promote walkability and provide
additional services to the future residents of the development. Staff also finds those uses
compatible given the applicant's description that non-residential uses will be subject to a higher
scrutiny of design standards through Unified Development Code sections 166.24 and 166.25. The
booklet also states an intent to adhere to the Downtown Architectural Design Standards (166.21).
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the proposal is generally compatible with the goals in City
Plan 2040, adopted land use policies, and the future land use designation for this location. This
area is designated as a City Neighborhood Area, a Residential Neighborhood Area, and a Natural
Area. The proposed Planning Areas appear to take these future land use designations into
account in the proposed uses, proposed setback and building height requirements, and proposed
lot sizes. While the infill score is low for the overall area, the tapered density is in line with the
tapering of the infill matrix score, by allowing higher density and intensity uses towards the N.
Crossover Road frontage, and low -density single-family homes towards the Zion Road frontage.
The addition and incorporation of a new proposed Neighborhood Link Street also helps bring
planned infrastructure improvements to the area. Staff does find that the applicant has requested
an alternative street section for that proposed Neighborhood Link Street, but no written variance
to that standard has been received. Staff also finds that with existing transit stops and nearby on-
street bike facilities, an existing transportation network along N. Crossover Road helps support
the introduction of new, higher density and intensity development along that frontage. Further, the
applicant's consideration for the existing floodplain, Natural Area designation, and the existing
Enduring Green Network through Planning Area 3 helps fulfill goals as outlined by City Plan 2040.
On the balance of considerations, staff finds the proposed PZD to be compatible and consistent
with existing land uses and adopted land use plans.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a varying score for the
subject property, ranging from 3 to 7. Areas closer to N. Crossover Road have higher scores than
those near E. Zion Road. The elements vary by the area of the property being considered, and
include the following:
• Appropriate Land Use (City Neighborhood Area)
• Near ORT Bus Stop (Route 30)
• Near Park (Lake Fayetteville and David Lashley Park)
• Near Sewer Main (N. Crossover Road)
• Near Paved Trail (On -street bike lanes, N. Crossover Road, Lake Fayetteville)
• Near Water Main (N. Crossover Road, E. Zion Road)
• Appropriate Fire Response (Station 5 located at 2979 N. Crossover Road)
DISCUSSION:
This item was first heard at the November 9, 2020 Planning Commission, where it was tabled to
the subsequent meeting to allow the applicant to make changes to the proposal. Commissioners
expressed concerns about the lack of alley -loaded development, concerns about the water quality
of Lake Fayetteville, and concerns about the compatibility and lack of inspiration with the proposal.
The applicant provided minimal changes prior to the November 23, 2020 meeting, and requested
to table themselves until the subsequent meeting for a chance to come back with a more suitable
request. Planning Commissioners did not hear the item at the November 23, 2020 meeting, voting
to table until December 14, 2020.
At the December 14, 2020 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant proposed significant
changes to the proposal, and Commissioners spoke favorably about the submitted amendments.
The Commissioners admired the consideration given to the northern portion of the site by limiting
development in that area in response to the lack of adequate infrastructure along E. Zion Road.
They also approved of the decision by the applicant to make the development more alley -loaded,
and in cases where lots were not alley loaded, discussed the applicant's provision of limiting the
proportion of the garage door related to the lot width on those lots; the applicant offered a
reduction to 25% from 30% on that provision in Planning Area 2. Finally, Commissioners were in
support of the move to include a portion of Planning Area 1 towards the center of the site to
provide more walkability in the proposal. Finally, the revision included more provisions of open
space throughout the site, which the Commissioners also looked favorably upon. Much concern
was still given to the flooding concerns on the site with relation to Lake Fayetteville, and staff
recommended and the Commission approved adding a condition that a flood study be required
as a condition of approval of the PZD.
Public comment was received and provided to the Planning Commission ahead of each meeting
and is included in full in staffs report. The public comment received was also related to the
proposed annexation, and since Planning Commission heard the items in tandem, the public
comment was included for both items. Public Comment was heard specifically on this item at the
November 9, 2020 Planning Commission meeting, and again at the December 14, 2020 Planning
Commission meeting. Neighbors and residents expressed concerns with flooding in the area,
water quality conditions to Lake Fayetteville, limited infrastructure availability for the influx of
traffic, and general opposition to the proposal at large.

a single-family dwelling, which county records indicate was built in 1947, and associated
outbuildings for what has long been an agricultural use. Hilton Creek runs east and west through
the site, and the area surrounding the creek is designated as a flood plain. Surrounding land uses
and zoning is depicted in Table 1.

Proposal: The proposal has been resubmitted to include 3 Planning Areas, as opposed to the
previous 6. The plan is to rezone the property to a planned zoning district (PZD) with both
commercial and residential areas.
• Planning Area 1 — 6.20 acres: This planning area is primarily commercial in nature,
though does allow for multi -family dwellings, and is intended to serve surrounding
residential areas with convenience goods and adaptable mixed use. The area is divided
into two locations, the first being located along the property's N. Crossover Road frontage,
and the second is located towards the center of the site.
39.63
• Planning Area 2 — 36acres: Making up the primary acreage of the proposal, this area
is categorized by m�ix of housing types, ranging from single-family to three- and four -
family dwellings. The map shows a variety of lot widths, alley -loaded development, and a
gridded street pattern throughout the site.
Planning Area 3 — 36.06 acres: Scattered throughout the site, with primary consideration
for the area surrounding and north of Hilton Creek, this planning area's primary purpose
is to provide open space, detention, drainage, and natural areas (though does allow for
low -density single-family dwellings with two -acre lot area minimums). The site plan also
indicates an intention to provide a linear park extending north and south through the
eastern part of the site, as well as a dedicated area for parkland.
Public Comment: Staff has received public comment on this item, as well as the associated
annexation. The discussion from the surrounding neighborhood has been in opposition to the
development, citing concerns about drainage, flooding, increased traffic, and a disruption to the
rural setting.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Streets: The subject property has frontage to E. Zion Road and to N. Crossover Road. E.
Zion Road is an unimproved, unclassified street with asphalt paving and open
ditches. N. Crossover Road is a fully -improved Regional Link Street with asphalt
paving, curb and gutter, and sidewalk. The southernmost 200 feet of frontage
along N. Crossover Road is designated as Regional Link — High Activity Street.
Any street improvements required in these areas would be determined at the time

of development proposal, as well as any additional improvements or requirements
for drainage.
Water: Public water is available to this site. An existing 12-inch water main is present
along N. Zion Road that can serve Parcel 001-15182-000. An existing 12-inch
water main is present along N. Crossover Road that can serve Parcel 765-13219-
000.
Sewer: Sanitary Sewer is not available to Parcel 001-15182-000. The subject area is
outside the city limits currently, but is under review with the associated annexation.
Sanitary sewer would need to be extended by the developer to provide access.
An existing 10-inch and 8-inch sanitary sewer is present along N. Crossover Road
that can serve Parcel 765-13219-000.
Drainage: Approximately 3.5 acres of the site lies within the 100-year floodplain. Hydric soils
appear to be present in nearly the entire subject area. No part of the parcel lies
within the HHOD and there are no protected streams on the property.
Fire: Fire apparatus access and fire protection water supplies will be reviewed for
compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code at the time of development.
Station 5 located at 2979 N. Crossover Road, protects this site. The property is
located approximately 2.4 miles from the fire station with an anticipated drive time
of approximately 5 minutes using existing streets. The anticipated response time
would be approximately 7.2 minutes. Fire Department response time is calculated
based on the drive time plus 1 minute for dispatch and 1.2 minutes for turn -out
time. Within the City Limits, the Fayetteville Fire Department has a response time
goal to reach 90% of the response area in 6 minutes for an engine and 8 minutes
for a ladder truck.
The Fire Department also issued a memo regarding the applicant's proposed
access to the site, indicating that fire apparatus access roads shall have a
minimum width of 20 feet and shall not be longer than 150 feet, unless the
structures are equipped with approved automatic sprinkler systems.
Police: The Police Department did not comment on this request.
CITY PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: City Plan 2040's Future Land Use Map designates
the properties within the proposed rezone as City Neighborhood Area, Residential Area, and
Natural Area.
City Neighborhood Areas are more densely developed than residential neighborhood areas and
provide a mix of non-residential and residential uses. This designation supports the widest
spectrum of uses and encourages density in all housing types, from single-family to multi -family.
Non-residential and commercial uses are primarily located at street intersections and along major
corridors. Ideally, commercial uses would have a residential component and vary in size, variety
and intensity. The street network should have a high number of intersections creating a system
of small blocks with a high level of connectivity between neighborhoods. Building setbacks and
landscaping are urban in form with street trees typically being located within the sidewalk zone.
Residential Neighborhood Areas are primarily residential in nature and support a wide variety
of housing types of appropriate scale and context: single-family, duplexes, rowhouses, multifamily
and accessory dwelling units. Residential Neighborhood encourages highly connected, compact
Planning Commission

Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing

blocks with gridded street patterns and reduced building setbacks. It also encourages traditional
neighborhood development that incorporates low -intensity non-residential uses intended to serve
the surrounding neighborhoods, such as retail and offices, on corners and along connecting
corridors. This designation recognizes existing conventional subdivision developments which may
have large blocks with conventional setbacks and development patterns that respond to features
of the natural environment. Building setbacks may vary depending on the context of the existing
neighborhood.
Natural Areas consist of lands approximating or reverting to a wilderness conditions, including
those with limited development potential due to topography, hydrology, vegetation or value as an
environmental resource. These resources can include stream and wildlife corridors, as well as
natural hubs and cores, many of which are identified in the generalized enduring green network.
A Natural Area designation would encourage a development pattern that requires conservation
and preservation, prevents degradation of these areas, and would utilize the principles of low
impact development stormwater infrastructure for all developments. Natural Areas are prime
candidates for conservation subdivision design and/or clustered development patterns.
CITY PLAN 2040 INFILL MATRIX: City Plan 2040's Infill Matrix indicates a varying score for the
subject property, ranging from 3 to 7. Areas closer to N. Crossover Road have higher scores than
those near E. Zion Road. The high score translates to a weighted score of 8 at the highest level.
The elements vary by the area of the property being considered, and include the following:
• Appropriate Land Use (City Neighborhood Area)
• Near ORT Bus Stop (Route 30)
• Near Park (Lake Fayetteville and David Lashley Park)
• Near Sewer Main (N. Crossover Road)
• Near Paved Trail (On -street bike lanes, N. Crossover Road, Lake Fayetteville)
• Near Water Main (N. Crossover Road, E. Zion Road)
• Appropriate Fire Response (Station 5 located at 2979 N. Crossover Road)
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 current land use of the property in question is
rural and agricultural in nature, and with the proposed annexation, the entire
site will be zoned R-A, Residential -Agricultural prior to the approval of this
Planned Zoning District. The property is surrounded by a mix of land uses,
ranging from agricultural along the eastern property to commercial along the
western side of the property and low -density single-family residential to the
north and south. The request takes this into account by establishing higher
intensity uses along the N. Crossover frontage, and decreasing the proposed
density and intensity as the proposal moves to the east and north through
the site. The applicant has included an intention through Planning Area 3 to
dedicate parkland to the north of Hilton Creek, which takes into account the
available infrastructure concerns of E. Zion Road given the limited
development potential and large lot sizes. The proposal also considers the
Hilton Creek floodplain by leaving this unbuilt and in a natural state. Staff
also finds that most of the surrounding property remains in the county,
which has a limited suite of by -right allowable uses; staff supports the
proposal of low -density residential uses such as single-family dwellings
adjacent to the land in Washington County for compatibility of land uses not

PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing

included in the City of Fayetteville boundary. Staff also supports the
applicant's inclusion of a secondary commercial node towards the center of
the site, to promote walkability and provide additional services to the future
residents of the development. Staff also finds those uses compatible given
the applicant's description that non-residential uses will be subject to a
higher scrutiny of design standards through UDC sections 166.24 and
166.25.
Land Use Plan Analysis: Staff finds that the proposal is generally compatible
with the goals in City Plan 2040, adopted land use policies, and the future
land use designation for this location. This area is designated as a City
Neighborhood Area, a Residential Neighborhood Area, and a Natural Area.
The proposed Planning Areas appear to take these future land use
designations into account in the proposed uses, proposed setback and
building height requirements, and proposed lot sizes. While the infill score
is low for the overall area, the tapered density is in line with the tapering of
the infill matrix score, by allowing higher density and intensity uses towards
the N. Crossover Road frontage, and low -density single-family homes
towards the Zion Road frontage. The addition and incorporation of a new
proposed Neighborhood Link Street also helps bring planned infrastructure
improvements to the area. Staff does find that the applicant has requested
an alternative street section for that proposed Neighborhood Link Street, but
no written variance to that standard has been received. Staff also finds that
with existing transit stops and nearby on -street bike facilities, an existing
transportation network along N. Crossover Road helps support the
introduction of new, higher density and intensity development along that
frontage. Further, the applicant's consideration for the existing floodplain,
Natural Area designation, and the existing Enduring Green Network through
Planning Area 3 helps fulfill goals as outlined by City Plan 2040.
A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: Staff finds that the proposed zoning is justified to accommodate
development of this area; maintaining an R-A zoning designation throughout
the entire site would not be in line with stated plans and goals of City Plan
2040 as a City Neighborhood Area or a Residential Neighborhood Area. Staff
does find, however, that what the applicant has proposed is not significantly
different than what could be accomplished with standard zoning districts.
A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed PZD zoning will increase traffic, and possibly to a significant
degree. Typically, specific on- and off -site infrastructure improvements are
evaluated at the time of a development proposal. Given the proposed
organization and structure of the land uses in this proposal, staff finds that
the decision for low density development along the northern portion of the
site alleviates concerns about the available infrastructure along E. Zion
Road, since most traffic will be filtered out towards N. Crossover Road.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density and
Planning Commission

Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 5 of 214
thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: Rezoning the property from its current zoning designations will significantly
alter the potential population density in the area. Initial Engineering Division
review indicates that utility extensions or upgrades are likely required,
however this is a common condition of developing a property of this size
and downstream capacity issues are not noted. Additionally, no outside
reviewer comment, including from the Springdale Public School District, the
district that serves this site, was received.
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
Sec. 161.35. Planned Zoning Districts (PZD)
(B) Purpose. The intent of the Planned Zoning District is to permit and encourage
comprehensively planned zoning and developments whose purpose is redevelopment,
economic development, cultural enrichment or to provide a single -purpose or mixed -use
planned development and to permit the concurrent processing of zoning and development.
The City Council may consider any of the following factors in review of a Planned Zoning
District application.
(1) Flexibility. Providing for flexibility in the distribution of land uses, in the density of
development and in other matters typically regulated in zoning districts.
(2) Compatibility. Providing for compatibility with the surrounding land uses.
(3) Harmony. Providing for an orderly and creative arrangement of land uses that are
harmonious and beneficial to the community.
(4) Variety. Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or commercial
or industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration of
economic and redevelopment opportunities.
(5) No negative impact. Does not have a negative effect upon the future development of the
area;
(6) Coordination. Permit coordination and planning of the land surrounding the PZD and
cooperation between the city and private developers in the urbanization of new lands and
in the renewal of existing deteriorating areas.
(7) Open space. Provision of more usable and suitably located open space, recreation areas
and other common facilities that would not otherwise be required under conventional land
development regulations.
;8) Natural features. Maximum enhancement and minimal disruption of existing natural
features and amenities.
Planning Commission
December 14, 2020
Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing

(9) Future Land Use Plan. Comprehensive and innovative planning and design of mixed use
yet harmonious developments consistent with the guiding policies of the Future Land Use
Plan.
(10)Special Features. Better utilization of sites characterized by special features of
geographic location, topography, size or shape.
(11)Recognized zoning consideration. Whether any other recognized zoning consideration
would be violated in this PZD.
Findings: As outlined in previous findings, staff finds the proposed PZD to be generally
in agreement with many of the factors encouraged in a planned zoning
district, as stated above, including land use compatibility and harmony with
the tenets of Fayetteville's Future Land Use Plan. The applicant has
proposed minimal disruption to the Hilton Creek floodway or floodplain,
allocated land for accessible open space, and proposes a wide variety of
housing types throughout the proposal. The inclusion of potential parkland
dedication, as well as the gridded street network, provision of street stub -
outs, and potential secondary emergency access points through both the
northern portion of the site and the southern portion of the site also help
staff feel comfortable supporting this development, given its intention to not
only be walkable with the provision of services within the proposed
development, but will provide access and connectivity to surrounding areas
as well.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding PZD-2020-000002 to the City Council with
a recommendation of approval, with conditions.
Conditions of Approval:
1. Revise the PZD booklet to reflect the following:
a. Accurately indicate 3 proposed Planning Areas, rather than 4.
b. The PZD shall require compliance with adopted minimum access management
standards as outlined in the Unified Development Code;
2. Proposed parkland dedication must be reviewed by PRAB with associated development;
3. PZD approval does not represent approval of alternative street sections. Additional
development variances may be required;
4. Proposed fire apparatus access roads shall meet requirements as stated by all
applicable fire codes;
5. Lot width requirements will be reduced to 0' where only alley and parkland frontage is
proposed.

A) Current Ownership:
The 81.89-acre property is currently owned by ECT Farmland LLLP & Robert Eugene Burge
Irrevocable Trust but is under contract with Chandler Crossing, LLC. The owners are being
represented by Engineering Services, Inc. It is Parcel ID 765-13219-000 (ECT Farmland) and
001-15182-000 (Burge). The Burge property is currently located within Washington County, and
a portion of this property has been petitioned to be annexed into the City of Fayetteville.
B) Project Summary:
The proposed development will consist of four planning areas to provide a unique mixture of
single-family detached homes, duplex units, multifamily units, open green space, and
commercial planning areas. All planning areas will include infrastructure, accessibility, and open
space improvements. The intent is to locate higher density planning areas around a main street
corridor and a main green corridor while creating a walkable and vibrant neighborhood.
Furthermore, lot sizes will scale up as the planning areas move away from the central denser
corridors with larger single family lots to the edges of the planning areas. The smaller lots sizes,
alley access, and shorter setbacks will promote neighborhood vitality and use of the open green
spaces provided within planning areas of the development.
C) General project concept:
1) Street and lot layout will consist of a central neighborhood link street section running East
and West as the neighborhood corridor with residential link street sections throughout the
development to access lower density lots towards the edges. Local alleys will be included for
rear access to smaller single family lots throughout the planning areas while lower density will
allow loading from street R.O.W. The front of homes will be classified as the side away from
alley frontage, and alley ways shall be of a large enough cross section to provide all basic
functions to the lots they service. Emergency services (fire, etc.) shall utilize the neighborhood
link and residential link street sections.
There is one main proposed street connection to serve the property on Highway 265. Stub -outs
will be located throughout the development to access future developments in all directions and
allow for the connections proposed in Fayetteville's master street plan. There is a proposed
residential link street near the eastern property line of the project Area. With preliminary plat
plans, this would be requested to be shifted east slightly, to allow for another row of lots, should
the property east of this project area ever develop. All East-West streets would eventually
connect into this Residential Link.
2) A site and master plan will be attached with this Booklet.
3) A buffer area will be utilized along Hilton Creek. This is a mapped FEMA flood zone and
development will be kept out of its limits. Any detention facilities located within this buffer zone
will be built as far as practicable from the stream.
4) Tree preservation on site will be located mainly along the Northern and Southern property
lines where possible. The canopy on site is not very dense and is typically scattered single trees
or small clumps of trees. Tree preservation requirements within the PZD will adhere to the 25%
minimum percent canopy requirement as codified in the UDC Chapter 167. Tree preservation
areas and amount of canopy to be preserved will be noted on the development plans.

5) Storm water facilities will consist of several detention ponds located along the North property
line, within planning area 4, and along Hilton Creek. Storm water will be transported through a
storm system of pipes and inlets. The drainage report will further detail the proposed system by
which storm water will be carried through the development.
6) Areas close to Hilton Creek and North of Hilton Creek will remain undisturbed. The flood zone
will remain undisturbed so that the natural vegetation and aesthetics of this area will be
preserved. Natural areas will be accessible for residents and visitors through the custom master
street plan sections and a sidewalk network connecting all planning areas. Green ribbons and
pocket parks will also connect open space and undisturbed areas to the central corridor and
denser planning areas.
7) Existing utilities around the Proposed PZD include sewer and water mains located at
Highway 265. The proposed design will be connected to the East to provide water and sewer
services to all proposed lots and dwellings.
8) Development and architectural design standards will be consistent with the Downtown
Architectural Design Standards (UDC 166.21). All Unified Development Code and regulations
by the City of Fayetteville still apply to the lots and development with the PZD.
9) Building elevations/floor plans are to be included with any preliminary plat or large-scale
development at time of submittal. At this time in the Planned Zoning Document application there
are no elevations or floorplans.
D) Proposed Planning Areas:
Proposed planning areas for this development will include:
Planning Area 1 (Commercial) — This area will encompass the lots and areas where
commercial uses shall be developed. This district shall be designed to provide
convenience good and personal services for residents and persons living in the
surrounding areas and is intended to provide for adaptable mixed use centers which can
connect the more commercial uses and planning areas proposed by this development.
Planning Area 2 (Residential 1) — This planning area will encompass residential lots,
alleys, houses, and areas where single family, townhomes, and attached homes shall be
built or developed. This district shall have a "build -to -zone", which shall not exceed 25'
from the street right-of-way. The zoning district is designed to permit and encourage the
development of detached and attached dwellings in suitable environments, to provide a
range of housing types compatible in scale with single-family homes and to encourage a
diversity of housing types to meet demand for walkable urban living.
Planning Area 3 (Non -Residential Uses) — This area will encompass all the detention,
drainage features, forested areas, natural areas, recreational features, larger estate lots,
along with street and alley R.O.W. The zoning district is designed to permit and
encourage the minimum amount of development, protect natural features, encompass all
common open space, and proposed R.O.W for the development. Open space will be
accessible for residents to use through a sidewalk network via custom Neighborhood
Link and Residential Link street sections so that residents can use common open space
for outdoor and recreational uses.
These planning areas will be described within Section E and Section F of this booklet,
along with a map delineating the planning areas. The map will be attached as the Zoning

Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 18 of 214
G) Analysis of Site Characteristics:
The proposed PZD is located on an 81.89-acre tract that is composed of mainly cattle pasture
with some scattered trees and vegetation. The topography is generally flat with Hilton Creek
flowing East to West within the Northeast quadrant. Besides a pond and Hilton Creek located on
site, the tract is otherwise featureless with a low amount of rolling topography.
H) Recreational facilities:
The development is a short drive down E Zion from the Lake Fayetteville trails, connections to
the Razorback Greenway, Veterans Park, The Lake Fayetteville ballfields and Marina, and the
Botanical Garden of the Ozarks.
1) Reason for Request of Zoning Change:
The existing site is currently zoned R-A (Residential Agricultural). However, the site is adjacent
to many different zoning districts. To the West there are properties zoned C-1 and P-1, to the
North and South it is R-A or RSF-4, and to the east it is unincorporated. Within a half mile of the
site there is also RMF-24, NC and an RPZD and NS-G.
Rezoning this parcel from R-A to a mixed use PZD is well within the zoning of the adjacent
properties residential zoning districts and densities. Rezoning this parcel also is in line with the
Fayetteville Future Land Use Plan. This parcel's future land use is shown as partly City
Neighborhood Area and Residential Neighborhood which this PZD is consistent with.
J) Relation to existing and surrounding properties:
This PZD proposed is similar in scale to the Lakewood Subdivision and the Woodbury
subdivision to the West of the site while lower density on the edges is similar in scale and
density to Copper creek to the North. Furthermore, the land use of this development fits well
within the residential surroundings currently built along E. Zion Road, all while remaining similar
in appearance to the higher density zoning found within '/z mile from the proposed connection to
265 & E. Zion. The appearance of this PZD shall compare to the surrounding subdivision and
developments with its similar lot size, alley fed access, smaller setbacks, and neighborhood
character. The large estate lots will also be similar in scale to the homes along E Zion rd.
The proposed PZD will consist of Single Family, 2-4 family, and commercial planning areas.
Residents of the subdivision will exit along the access point to Highway 265. A traffic study will
be completed with the preliminary plat plan submittal illustrating trip generation and distribution
for this development. Signage for the proposed PZD shall be of a similar nature to the
surrounding developments. Monument signs or Subdivision signs of high quality shall be used
and constructed so residents and visitors will have definitive markers and signage to their
neighborhood. All signage should meet UDC chapter 174 requirements.
K) Projects compliance with Fayetteville Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
The proposed planned zoning district is in compliance with many of the goals of the City Plan
2040 for the future framework of the city. Below are the six 2040 goals, and how the site fits in
with Fayetteville's 2040 plan.
-11-
Planning Commission
December 14, 2020
Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 19 of 214
Goal 1: We will make appropriate infill and revitalization our highest priorities.
The proposed development fits in with Part D of this goal, the development will promote the
densest development around logical future transit stops at the central spine and highway 265.
There are already a significant number of residential dwellings in this area and developing this
piece with a denser development near the existing Route 30 of the Ozark transit system is in
line with this goal. The planning area closest to 265 is proposed to be commercial or denser
residential to revitalize and infill with more dense developments.
Goal 2: We will discourage suburban sprawl.
This proposed development is in compliance with Goal 2, discouraging suburban sprawl, as it is
% mile from more higher density residential and a PZD, 1 mile from RMF-24, 1.5-miles from the
Northwest Arkansas Mall, and 2 miles from the Joyce uptown shopping and the surrounding
area of North Fayetteville. Additionally, the development follows objective B by developing a
more compact and mixed -use development at the edge of the city.
Goal 3: We will make traditional town form the standard.
The proposed PZD and development shall be a compact, denser, housing development, with
interconnected streets and sidewalks between adjacent parcels. This proposed community
would be walkable, and near existing bus stops, promoting public transportation along with
mixed use commercial, interconnected streets and sidewalks, street -oriented buildings, and
multifamily housing near a major transit route.
Goal 4: We will grow a livable transportation network
Similar to Goal 2 and Goal 3, the proposed PZD and development will promote walking and
public transportation with interconnected planning areas, cyclist friendly roads, and tree lined
streets. The development will further expand and interconnect sidewalks and trails in East
Fayetteville to more locations and future developments as the city expands. The proposed
subdivision also is providing multiple street stubouts to the East, North and South adjacent
properties, promoting increased connectivity in this area.
Goal 5: We will assemble an enduring green network
The proposed PZD and development embodies goal number 5, by creating walkability
throughout planning areas, and preserving natural and riparian areas. Canopy will be
established on site in more areas than before with the addition of street plantings and sidewalks
will connect the development to other neighborhoods and open space adjacent to the PZD area,
ex: Botanical Garden of the Ozarks, Lake Fayetteville trail network.

Planning Commission
December 14, 2020
Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 20 of 214
Goal 6: We will create opportunities for attainable housing
The proposed PZD will embody Goal 6 by creating a mixture of housing opportunities through
the development. Housing opportunities will range from single, two-family, townhomes,
duplexes, and cottages. Furthermore, the density of planning areas will range from 4 units per
acre to 8 units per acres within Single and Two to Three Family Homes, while providing up to 12
units per acre with denser townhome housing. This will create opportunities for smaller housing
lots and create a mix of densities and housing availabilities.
L) Traffic study:
After meeting with a representative from the City of Fayetteville Planning department, a traffic
study will be performed with development plans to find the impact on existing Zion and
Crossover intersection and N. Zion rd. A traffic study will work to find the scope and impacts of
the proposed planning areas, while finding the correct scope of improvements needed so that
there is not a negative impact due to increased loads on Neighborhood Link and Regional Link
streets.
M) Impacts on city services:
Proposed utility within the development are to include 8" water mains that will service all
residential lots, with connections at Crossover to a 12" water main. The residential lots will also
be serviced by an 8" gravity sewer system that make connections to an existing 10" sewer
system along Crossover rd. Preliminary discussions have occurred with Fayetteville Utilities,
who stated that sewer capacity, hydrant flow, and pressure in this area should not be a concern.
Other city services impacted will include fire, police, and trash services. Emergency services will
have access to dwellings from street frontage and alleys. Emergency services will be able to
serve the dwellings from either an alley or street frontage. Fire services will have hydrants
access from street frontage and alleys to service any emergency event. Where access to a
hydrant must be in an alley, bump -outs and a wider cross section is being used to meet the
minimum requirements for emergency services. Trash services will all be located at the back of
lots on alleys so that trash trucks can easily collect on their service days, where garage and
driveway access is from street frontage trash services will use frontage on collection days.
N) Conceptual description of development standards, conditions, and review guidelines:
The development standards, and conditions for the proposed PZD will be established to
promote compatible development, to promote a contiguous development, to foster the
attractiveness and functional utility as a place to live, to protect public investments in the
districts, and to raise the level of community expectations for the quality of its environment.
1) Screening and Landscaping: Landscaping for the full development shall be consistent with
chapter 177. Residences shall have a consistent foundation and high -quality design at the front
of the house and throughout the development. Natives and high -quality design are encouraged
for new construction of homes. A basic landscape plan will be submitted with building elevations
-13-
Planning Commission
December 14, 2020

and floor plans. Vegetative screening and fences may be erected between homes and planning
uses if required by UDC.
2) Traffic and circulation: Traffic calming devices will be implemented in several locations
throughout the PZD for safety of pedestrians and to keep vehicular speeds at a reasonable level
for the residential areas. This is largely done by the horizontal and vertical design of the
proposed streets, which will calm traffic patterns naturally. Also, pocket parks and open spaces
with pedestrian crossings are proposed to help slow traffic along the main corridor.
3) Parking standards: Parking standards will meet city of Fayetteville minimums where street
parking and parking lots are to be proposed. Parking is to be located within the PZD district it
serves. Parking will be available on streets for residents where Master street plan sections will
allow. Parking will be available to residents through garages and driveways located on street
frontage and at the rear of dwellings where garages will face the alley that gives them access.
4) Perimeter treatment: Perimeter treatments will be judged on a case by case basis for each
tract or dwelling. If different zonings or uses are side by side a treatment or other form of screen
may be required, similar to the City of Fayetteville standards for screening incompatible uses.
5) Sidewalks: Sidewalks shall follow a standard throughout the development. Typical sidewalk
shall follow the Master street plan for each proposed street section (ex: Residential Link,
Neighborhood Link). Sidewalks shall all meet Master Street Plan requirements.
6) Streetlights: Streetlights shall be of a uniform type throughout the development. All
streetlights shall be full cut-off fixtures and a lighting system shall appropriately light all public
areas. All streetlights shall be per Ozark Electric Cooperative and meet UDC code
166.04(B)(3)(g).
7) Water: Water mains and services shall be provided for each dwelling and residence. Water

Street design shall be reviewed by the Engineering department from the City of Fayetteville.
Drainage and storm design will be provided on the attached site design/master plan. Drainage
and storm design will be reviewed by the Engineering Department from the City of Fayetteville.
10) Construction of non-residential facilities: Any non-residential facilities not proposed with this
application will follow all applicable Non -Residential Design Standards (UDC chapter 166.24 &
166.25), Large scale development standards, or non -Large scale development standards where
applicable Building design must be consistent with Downtown Architectural Design Standards
UDC 166.21.
11) Tree Preservation: Tree preservation plans and landscape plans will be required and
submitted once development begins on any individual large scale or when a preliminary plat
application and development plan is submitted.
12) Architectural design standards: Architectural design standards will be consistent with UDC

and commercial areas, the architectural design will not be defined in th s booklet. Any
commercial buildings within Planning Area 1 will be submitted by Large Scale Development
application and subject to city code, and any non-residential structures shall conform to all city
standards with the UDC.
13) Propose signage: Signage will not be allowed except for what is already stated in the
Planning Areas section of this Booklet. Any applicable signage to be proposed will conform to all
regulations in the City of Fayetteville's ordinances UDC 174.
14) View Protection: View protection shall be considered if any proposed work is to occur
outside the scope of the proposed PZD and its master plan.
15) Covenants, trust, and homeowner association: Covenants may be established by a POA
board consisting of a majority of property owners. These covenants may be up for review by the
property owners and homeowners of the PZD every 5 years.
O) Proposals Intent/Purpose
The intent of this Proposed PZD is to create and expand the City Neighborhood Area and the
Residential Neighborhood within the City of Fayetteville's 2040 Land Use Plan. The proposed
PZD wishes to expand the existing infrastructure, while creating a livable, expanded
neighborhood district for Commercial, Single -Family, 2 or more -unit homes. While creating this
neighborhood the proposal will account for flexibility of design, compatibility with the surrounding
uses, harmony with the neighboring developments, variety within the p-oposed district, creating
a positive impact on Crossover Rd, and how it fits into the Future land Use Plan.

Date: Nov 21, 2020
Re Requests: Annexation of 3435 E Zion Rd and Rezoning for Chandler Crossing PZD
To: Fayetteville Planning Commission
This petition is to request a prudent decision to deny the annexation of 3435 E Zion Road and the
Chandler Crossi-ig PZD, due to the following issues:
1. Traffic issues and safety concerns regarding school age children, traffic through neighboring
subdivisions, blind curves, inferior county roads and connectivity points, and the deteriorating
one lane bridge. Jurisdiction on who is responsible for the improvements to the road and one
lane bridge. The proposed development would result in as many as 600+ vehicles.
2. The flooding, storm water run-off, and drainage from the subject property into Hilton Creek,
which ends up in Lake Fayetteville. Water quality in the lake has been previously studied by a
toxicologist and discussed at the previous planning commission meeting. There is potential for
increased lake pollution by adding 267 housing units.
3. The proposed development would create suburban sprawl and not be compatible with the
surrounding land or semi -rural neighborhoods. This is sprawl, not infill, which goes against two
of the goals of the City of Fayetteville. The annexation also would create an island of county
property surrounded by city property.
4. The proposed development would be in the Springdale School district, so a large part of tax
millage would go to Springdale School System. Yet, Fayetteville would be responsible for paying
for and maintenance of the project's infrastructure.
5. A large part of the subject property is located in Fayetteville's long range map of the Enduring
Green Network. The City's stated goal is to protect existing natural areas from development and
guarantee green space as the city grows. The proposed annexation and rezoning do not meet
that goal.
We the undersigned request a denial to the annexation of 3435 E Zion Road and a denial to the
proposed Chandler Crossing PZD. The care and future growth of our unique, quaint Fayetteville
should lead us to focus on quality as a top priority rather than a disruption by quantity.

Subject: Large development near Lake Fayetteville
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize

Hello
I would like to submit a commit of concern regarding the large development proposed near Lake Fayetteville.
My concern is for the negative impacts of excess runoff through the Lake Fayetteville watershed and for the water
quality, already suffering, of Lake Fayetteville as a body of water used recreationally and attracting more citizens and
visitors to that beautiful area.
In my opinion,the city planners considering the change of land use from farming property largely to residential should
consciously and publicly address how to ameliorate the large amounts of new impervious surfaces that would be
created.
Continuing to monitor Lake Fayetteville and including short and long term goals to improve the water quality is about
education, planning, and commitment.
This is a collaborative effort, with many citizen groups contributing to the ecological health and educational building
locks as a community grows in a purposeful way.
I hope to know of our city's strong contributions, including demonstrating the value of Lake Fayetteville as a water body
near and upon which people recreate.
Thank you for your attention and consideration and all the work you do in suppo~t of a remarkable city.'
Sincerely,
Victoria B McClendon

Mr Masters,
I am writing to express concern with the potential impact of the proposed development on water quality of Lake
Fayetteville. I am a resident of Bella Vista. I come to Fayetteville multiple times per week to row on the lake with the
Rowing Club of Northwes= Arkansas. We've had to cancel rowing with increased frequency because of the recurring
hazardous algae blooms. As an architect on large scale developments, I am familiar with the extraordinary care that is
required in site selection and mitigation efforts to avoid harmful runoff in adjacent steams and lakes. The proposed use
of this site threatens to exacerbate conditions that lead to algae blooms and other public health issues.
I have spoken to the City several times about the enormous potential of Lake Fayetteville as a public
amenity. Maintaining it as a pristine jewel is an obligation to future generations. Please give strongest consideration to
the water quality impacts of the proposed development. Minimal mitigation efforts should be unacceptable. Anything
less than zero impact, or better a positive impact on runoff, should be reason to deny.
Thanks you for your consideration,
William Correll

Subject: Annexation on E. Zion Rd. / Burge Property
" This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
Ms. Masters,
Let me start off with saying that the neighbors along E. Zion Road appreciate the time you and the Fayetteville City
Planning Commission are taking to listen to our concerns. This is especially true for my husband and I, as we are the
ones that have struggled with the most financial loss and property damage. We have also fought Mr. Burge the longest,
over his Hylton Creek modifications, which continue to damage our property to this day. About 20 years ago, Mr. Burge
was approached by the then neighbors, and asked to remove the low-water bridge and the grate that dams the creek
and drives flood water out of the creek and on to neighboring properties. At first Mr. Burge agreed, then changed his
mind, for reasons that were never provided.
The pictures of the low water bridge in question show a very tranquil stream with nothing that immediately raises
alarms for the surrounding area. Lnfortunately, when it rains, this stream can go from a nice place to a raging flood in
20 minutes. The situation can be very dangerous. Also, once the water leaves the creek banks at the Burge bridge, it
travels across the Burge farm and through our shop building. When we purchased the house, the flood water came up
to the threshold of the shop doors. Now it exceeds 4 feet deep during heavier rains. I don't mean the 100-yr or 500-yr
flood rains, I refer only to a simple heavy rain.
t-�....n�- �4
I"
'�, +•. �� „mow � -
Regardless, once the water leaves its banks and travels across properties, i= =an't help but pick up chemicals, manure
and other such things that nc one wants in Lake Fayetteville.
When we first purchased our property in 1998, the back portion of our shop was in the floodplain. Each time major
additions are built; the floodirg problem increases. The answer seers _o hEve been to update the floodplain and take in
2
more area. Unfortunately, since our home is not within the city limits, we do not get the courtesy of being notified
about any such changes.
It seems that the City should correct problems as they take in County land and ensure no residents with Fayetteville
addresses are negatively impacted by the desire to spread Fayetteville and gain new tax monies.
My biggest concern with the Engineer speaking for the Developer during the last Planning Commission meeting was that
he mentioned that they would just leave Hylton Creek along, so they don't cause further disruption and damage. This is
exactly how previous developers have been able to come in, build their additions and ignore the implications to the
properties in proximity. The Developer should have to address the potential damage he will be causing to surrounding
properties and be held accountable for subsequent property damages. Leaving the problem, or in this case Hylton
Creek, alone does not address the problem at all and sets us up for increasing future damage. If our properties are being
damaged, I fail to see how Lake Fayetteville won't be impacted too. A do-nothing resolution for the creek should not be
an option.
It is also concerning that some of the E. Zion properties in the County will become an island or peninsula, which I
thought was deemed to be illegal. This makes no more sense than letting an individual's creek modification continue to
damage personal property and city resources.
Again, we really appreciate your time and efforts to help us.

To all Planning Commi3sioners, I am Linda Ferguson and live at 3258 E. Valerie Dr.
Fayetteville. I am sending this email in opposition to the planned development of this
property. I agree with -he other property owners about the amount of homes that will
contribute to the quality of water in regard to the run-off into Lake Fayetteville. I also would
like to bring up the beauty of the pond area behind my home and would like the developer
tc consider using this area with the large trees around it as a focal point for this side of the
property. In regard to the pond area we all would like to see this saved and used as part of
a community gathering point for the homes he is going to build on top of that area. In
another aspect this area has wild geese, wild ducks, blue heron, hawks, eagles that make
th's their home. I woulc just like to see the beauty of some of this land saved and used as
part of their development, and fewer homes built so they would match the surrounding
neighborhoods of this planned development. If this project goes forward our subdivision
would like to have a green buffer between our property and the development. Thankyou for
considering all aspects of the impact on the surrounding land and keeping the wildlife and
environment secure and the beauty for the future of Fayetteville.

Subject: Comments on Chandler Crossing PZD Resubmitted Plans
CAUTION This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
To Whom it May Concern:
We live in the Copper Creek Subdivision near East Zion Road and have been following closely following the proposed
annexation and rezoning of the Burge Property as well as
plans for Chandler Crossing.
Our concerns are as follows:
1) The latest submitted plans are an improvement in that there is no access from Chandler Crossing to East Zion Road except
by trail or emergency road. This addresses the traffic issues that many in Copper Creek/Stonewood/Embry Acres
neighborhoods are concerned about. However, are there any guarantees that the developers won't change course again and
decide to offer one or two intersections on East Zion as in the original plans? If so, then we'd be back to the same issues of
traffic on a narrow road and an insufficient bridge.
2) Where does storm drainage from Chandler Crossing go? It does not seem to be addressed in the resubmitted plans. As the
city is aware, there are serious issues and concerns with flooding in that area.
3) How does the design of the "link street" (the street that connects directly across Zion Road at Highway 265 where the
traffic signal is) fit with the plan to eventually connect Zion all the way to Butterfield Coach Road?
4) As much as the resubmitted plans try to justify alignment with city goals of infilling and no sprawl, they miss the mark.
We're not a big, urban city and this area is not
"walkable" in the sense that residents can walk to stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. Many of us choose to live in east
Fayetteville because we enjoy having a bit of space and a more suburban or rural feel. The population density for Chandler
Crossing is too great. Rather than "unique" or "vital", it appears to just be crowded. The mix of what is likely to be rental
properties and single family homes is another concern for the issues that can develop. We wouldn't consider buying a house
in this type of subdivision.
Thank you for your time,
Seorge and Denise Jones

Jessie,
Good morning. I realize my comments may be too late to be submitted with the packet. I did review the attached
information. While better than previous submissions, it appears the developer is trying to smash in as many properties
as possible in the space. Again, nothing like the neighborhoods it's borders would touch. I hope you will not recommend
the proposal as is. I look forward to learning more about the plans on Dec. 14.

Subject: Burge farm annex and rezone
CAU—TiON: This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear Fayetteville City Planning Commission Member (please read all articles included below),
This is the 4th letter that I have prepared concerning the Annex and Rezoning of the Burge farm and adjoining property. I
live in the corner of the L-shaped acreage and will be one of the current residences in our neighborhood impacted by
you- decision. I have sat through your meetings and struggled with the reality of not being in control of my destiny
when it comes to this decision. I struggle with the definition of urban sprawl vs infilling. I struggle with understanding
why the city of Fayetteville would even want to be a part of this. Why would the city of Fayetteville want to destroy a
natural feature that has been proven to act as a natural filtration system for water entering Lake Fayetteville? The
proposed "high density" housing is right on top of this feature. How can our city leaders brag about how Fayetteville is
a city that "can go green in a red state"
https:Harchive.curbed.com/202O/2/28/21155997/fayetteville-environment-ozarks-solar-power-sustainability
and then consider a proposal that completely goes against the spirit of conservation, green growth and stream
maragement. How can assets like Lake Fayetteville and the Fayetteville Botanical Gardens be gambled away in the
name of "progress".
My family saw the impact of poor water management on a large lake in Ohio.
https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local/grand-lake-mares-dying-from-toxic-
algaE!/sJOD6d5BfSbuGYWGMmi9NK/
The following is taken from a section out of Wikipedia about Lake St. Marys restoration.
Environmental concerns and restoration efforts edit
Due to the increasingly high levels of lake pollution, E. coli bacteria,m and related algae levels, Grand Lake could be
dying off as a destination lake and is considered by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to be "impaired" due
to "stream channelization, drainage tiles, loss of floodplains and streamside vegetation, manure runoff and
untreated sewage flowing from failing home septic systems and small communities without any wastewater
collection or treatment." 10 11
Runoff from farmland is one of the greatest problems. Nutrients of livestock waste and natural and
chemical fertilizers are laden with phosphorus and nitrogen. These elements upset the natural balance of the lake
and increase the growth of blue -preen algae.LL2, The algae is a cyanobacterium, with Planktothrix being a particularly
prevalent and problematic species. The bacteria produce toxic peptides that can be harmful to plants and
anirrals.1121 Humans are also affected by the toxins. Microcystin can harm the liver and cause other health problems
including mild rashes and sneezing and even severe gastrointestinal ailments.'Z Agriculture runoff is not the only
source of pollution in the lake. Industrial and commercial drainage contribute to the problem as does drainage from
out of date septic tanks and municipal sewage systems.

Heavy deposits of silt into the lake also contribute to the degradation of the lake.LL11 Development of homes along the
shore has reduced the number of native plants that helped to strengthen the shore and reduce erosion.
Development has also increased the level of phosphates entering the lake by over fertilization of lawns. These
excess phosphates directly contribute to plant growth, including the algae in the iake.0 The native flora that has
been reduced served as a filter to keep the excess nutrients out of the water.14
Here are the facts. Grand lake St. Marys is 13,500 acres of water while Lake Fayetteville is 194 acres of water. The St.
Marys watershed is 59,160 acres while the Lake Fayetteville clear creek watershed is 14,400. If you do the math, St.
Marys is 70 times the size of Lake Fayetteville but was destroyed by a watershed that was only 4 times the size of the
Lake Fayetteville Clear Creek watershed.
So here is the economic impact of the algal bloom on Lake St. Marys from 2011 to 2017
https:Hnews.osu.edu/algal-blooms-cost-ohio-homeowners-152-million-over-six-years/
My recommendation to you is to Annex the land into Fayetteville but make a significant effort to find a conservation
group to preserve the land. Include it as part of the "Enduring Green Network" which is part of your 2040 plan. A plan
that would "protect existing natural areas from development, guaranteeing green space as the city grows". Let's
practice the "combination of pro -density policies with preservation". Let's "save nearby green space without
contributing to sprawl". There is one thing for sure, I am not interested in paying more in taxes in the future to save
Lake Fayetteville when we could have been proactive today in protecting the lake. I hope that you took the time to read
all the attached material. This is a big deal.
Sincerely,
Nick Anthony

Ms Masters
Thank you for your response to my earlier mote.
With reference to our previous communications regarding concerns about pollution & blue-green algae growth at Lake
Fayetteville - - The front page picture in this morning's NW Ark Democrat Gazette is a vivid example of a major
cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae) bloom as seen from the air. Although we have not locally experienced such
a major event, i would hope we will continue to protect the lake to reduce the chances of further deterioration in water
quality.

I have recently become aware a new housing development is being considered in the lake Fayetteville watershed. I am
frequently at the lake during the warm seasons of the year. Over the past few years I have noticed major algae blooms
on the lake. Studies conducted (I believe) by researchers at the U of A have confirmed this to be a blue green algae that
can produce what is known as microcystin toxin that can cause illness in humans & animals such as dogs. These algae
blooms no doubt are related to nutrient runoff into the creek & lake. I am concerned that residential development in
the watershed will indeed further aggrevate the problem of lake pollution. Properly protected & maintained, the lake
could be a real asset to the City of Fayetteville providing excellent recreational opportunities for its citizens.

I'm concerned about the proposed Chandler Crossing development just north of the intersection of Zion Road and Hwy
265 that I think will have a huge impact on the water quality in Lake Fayetteville. The lake is a unique and beautiful asset
to our city, on the square -to -square bike route, and an important outdoor destination for tourists as well as local hikers,
kayakers, fisherman, and bikers. In addition, the lake is a back-up water supply for Fayetteville.
As I'm sure you are aware, the water quality of Lake Fayetteville is already compromised, with sediment and P coming in
from Clear Creek clearly the cuprit. The lake has already experienced repeated dangerous and unsightly blue-green algal
blooms.
The addition of some 400 houses in the Chandler Crossing development, along with their roofs, roads, and sidewalks
moving run-off into adjoining creeks without the natural filters of a riparian zone, cannot help but further impact the lake's
water quality.
realize Fayetteville's population is continuing to increase, and these new folks have to live somewhere. But please
consider the lake's health and many benefits to our community before jeopardizing it further with this new
development. Cannot this land, recently a working farm, be preserved or developed in a more responsible manner so as
not to further impact Lake Fayetteville?
Thank you for your careful consideration of this important matter,
Sincerely,
Jan M.VanSchuyver

Dear Mr. Masters:
During the summer I was interested in the presentations by the Fayetteville Watershed Partnership done on Zoom.
These sessions informed me of the importance of Lake Fayetteville as a recreational area and as part of the source of
our water. I was particularly interested in the family farms that border Clear Creek and efforts that are being made to
reclaim them. I understand the importance of permeable surfaces and how riparian areas aid in water conservation and
runoff.
I live in south Fayetteville and have watched the loss of wetland prairie and habitat for birds and other creatures to
housing development. I am also an advocate of affordable housing, so I think we must find a balance between needs of
people for housing and needs of the land to keep itself and its systems functioning.
I have big questions about approving a 400-house development in the area around Lake Fayetteville and Clear Creek and
also the increase in storm water runoff. Despite all the efforts that have been made on Morningside Drive property (as
an example), I expect to see some of the houses built on that property flooded when we have any kind of extreme
weather. Will the area of the Chandler Crossing Development be looking at similar problems? That is a question that
should be addressed to the developers, as well as the health and long-term water quality of Lake Fayetteville.
Thank you for your efforts to insure Fayetteville's continued efforts to balance the needs of its land and people.
Sincerely,
Jane Purtle

Hello Jessie,
I'm a Fayetteville resident who frequently rows on, runs around, bikes around or hangs around Lake
Fayetteville. I am very concerned about the proposed Chandler Crossing development.You know the water
quality of Lake Fayetteville is problematic with sediment and P coming in from Clear Creek clearly the culprit.
The lake has experienced repeated dangerous blue-green algal blooms (microcystin toxin), which correlate to
the eutrophic conditions in the lake.
The lake is an important outdoor destination for hikers, bikers, rowers, kayakers, and fisherman. It's on the
square to square bike route, and has visitors from throughout the region. It could very well be the crown
jewel in the center of Fayetteville's growing trail and activites system. The lake deserves to be protected for
generations to come.
The Chandler Crossing development, with —400 houses within the lake's nearby watershed, will negatively
impact the lake's water quality. The plan includes miles of impervious surfaces: roofs, roads, sidewalks --all
surfaces that will move sediment and P laden run-off directly into the adjoining creeks without the natural
filters that a plant rich riparian zone can provide. Neighbors have provided photos to you demonstrating recent
flooding.
I'm sure the planning commission is also aware that Lake Fayetteville is the City's back-up water supply. For
that reason alone, we should be careful of developments in the watershed.
One of the recommendations in the Watershed Conservation Resource Center's report (funded in part by the
City of Fayetteville) was to "Conserve family farms as working farms ..." This —80 acre plot was until recently
a working farm.
I realize that we cannot stop growth completely in an area where the population is increasing, but I would ask
that you pause and reconsider this development with the health of the lake in mind. Can the land be preserved
or developed in a way that will have less of an impact on our water supply?

Dear J Masters, Please consider that the attraction of Lake Fayetteville is a primary motivation for people wanting to
move to a potential development at Chandler Crossing. And that this development at Chandler Crossing would
negatively impact this very attraction, Lake Fayetteville. Non -point pollution from a development at Chandler Crossing,
in particular phosphorus runoff, would spur to even greater detriment the algae blooms that Lake Fayetteville already
suffers. And so, negatively impact the motivation for people wanting to move to a Chandler Crossing development. At
the very least please incorporate Rain Garden design throughout any potential Chandler Crossing development, so as to
mitigate any potential run off to Lake Fayetteville. Thank you. Sincerely, John J. Fritz.

CAl TION: This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize

Ms. Masters, please include the following letter in the commissioner's packet for the next meeting.
Mr. Boccaccio had a question in the last meeting about where the catchment pond was as referenced by Mrs. Griggs.
The only flood catchment pond I know of on this side of Copper Creek is located adjacent to David Lashley park on the
Eas. side, and it does not appear to be catching runoff from that neighborhood. It is a separate entity from what the
developers are proposing for this property.
Commissioner Paxton asked near the end of the meeting about the exact location of the '.ow -water bridge (and fencing
that currently contributes to flooding) also mentioned by Mrs. Griggs. That bridge is on the property being discussed in
these annexation and rezoning proposals. It sits adjacent to my and Mr. Anthony's property line.
2020-0959 ANX 2020-000001 (3435 E. Zion Rd./Burge)
The Northern portion of the 'L' shape of this annexation request - if approved - would cause my land to be encircled by
the city. I am afraid that approval of the annex as -is would be taking away my choice of whether or not to remain in the
county. At the very least, it would cause confusion for emergency services.
By annexing this land, are we enabling development that would otherwise be avoided at the density proposed? It could
very well lead to increased flooding and have the opposite effect of conservation that you would like.
Annexation and subsequent development of this property - in my opinion - would lower my property value because of
increased flood risk, and the traffic & safety concerns we have already raised. Annexing makes more sense near the
proposed future Zion to Oakland Zion connection. It does not make sense on the section mostly North of Hilton Creek
where it would cause 12 homes (13 properties) to remain in the county yet be encircled by the city as seen by
careful examination of the next to last map that includes satellite imagery. These homes lie West and North of the
Burge's property being discussed. I have included a screenshot from Google maps to illustrate which houses would
remain County while being surrounded by Fayetteville boundaries.

If this land must be developed, I would prefer to see 2-3 acre lots with single family homes if at all possible which would
be in keeping with the current housing on Zion in this section. We purchased our homes because this is the size and
style of neighborhood where we want to live. We want owner occupied housing to produce the highest quality long-
term housing market. Ideally, we would have a greenway path connecting to or near the David Lashley park integrated
with sufficient flood control measures. The proposed catch ponds cover areas that already flood prior to any
development so I find it very hard to believe they would be sufficient. Flood risk is a primary concern.
One solution to other concerns regarding vehicular traffic and the existing road/bridge is to not allow a neighborhood
correction between development on the two sides of Hilton Creek. This step would mitigate construction traffic
concerns, future vehicular use traffic, and avoid future issues with bridge/culvert stoppages. It would also address the
concern raised about the safety of placing an extra neighborhood exit rear a hilltop, a 90-degree curve, and an opposing
neighborhood exit - as this additional exit would no longer be needed.
Thank you for your consideration,

Hello Ms. Masters and Fayetteville City Planning Commissioners,
I won't rehash our previous concerns, such as our property flooding every year since 1998, the fact that we did not even
recover and finish rebuilding our flooded out home before we were hit by another flood, the fact that we have asked for
help from the City and County for years — but only succeeded in starting a finger pointing war, that we continue to deal
with a very dangerous bridge and road just to get to our property, but please don't mistake this stance as a lack of
commitment and concern for our neighborhood on E. Zion Rd.
We are very disturbed that the annexation of the former Burge farm on E. Zion Rd. continues to be discussed without
the resolution of flooding and traffic problems that have affected our properties for far too long.
I do, however, understand that the owner of the Burge property considers herself to be in desperate need to sell the
property for financial reasons. This comes from also being forced into financial straits, due to the yearly flooding of our
property, home and shop. This flooding does not come every few years. We, instead, have had to manage it every year
since purchasing our property in September of 1998. We have tried every avenue possible to force the problems to be
corrected, but due to the City of Fayetteville and Washington County refusal to take responsibility to help the situation,
we continue to try to stay on top of the new damage. It would be nice to invest in upgrades to our property, but that is
well beyond us now.
The troubling aspect of this flooding issue on E. Zion is that the flood waters do not often leave the Hylton Branch/Creek
banks, but instead come out of the creek on the Burge property. Unfortunately, the situation only worsened after
someone approved Copper Creek's dumping all of their run-off water into the branch on Burge property. To compound
the situation, Robert Burge had built a bridge over the creek so that his animals could cross to the back pasture. The
bridge has a grate in front of it, which allows the structure to effectively dam the creek and push water out of the banks
and on to the` surrounding property.
After many discussions with Mr. Burge, it was apparent that he had no intension of working with the neighbors at all.
Now that Mr. Burge has passed, we had hoped that his family would attend to his property in a way that did not cause
damage to the neighbor's properties. The new owner may be suffering financially, but she has access to her air-
conditioned cab -over John Deere tractor, which could remove the dam. In the past, several neighbors have offered to
help rebuild the bridge for the Burge farm animals in a way that does not cause damage to downstream properties. I
dare say that helping to prevent further damage to our own property would interest the neighbors in pitching in to clean
the creek bed while the Burge property owner ensures that her bridge is no longer a dam. While that was taking place, I
see no reason why some regrading and creek bed development on the Burge property could be done as a good neighbor
helping others, which would be a great help in protecting the neighbor's properties.

We believe that the neighbors on E. Zion should be provided with information on the potential annex area development
plans before they are put in place. Case in point, when HWY 265 was upgraded, the covert pipe that was scheduled to
be installed under HWY 265 was undersized and would have led to an even worse flooding problem. The E. Zion
neighbors, at the time, attended a planning meeting in Fayetteville and brought up this issue. It was decided that the
culvert pipe should be larger. My question is why on earth the neighbors have to call foul on shortcomings of city design
plans. We should not be the experts or the watchdogs, but we are forced to do this.
To you Ms. Masters and to the Fayetteville Planning Commission members, how do you intend to look at this situation
and resolve the existing problems before moving forward? You can't have a water drainage system designed for Copper
Creek, one for the Burge property, and let the E. Zion neighbors deal with the flooding fallout. The system has to be all
inclusive and designed with all of the input and outputs accounted for understood over time. Consider the area as one
and plan for the entire area. It is not enough for an engineer to walk out to our properties, look around and proclaim
that "I don't see no problem", as we have experienced before.
This is a very threatening situation for my family and for the families around us. We do not want to be ignored or told
that land owners can do what they will with their property, without regard to devastating effects caused to others. We
do not want to be caught between the City of Fayetteville and Washington County in a way that assures we are not
represented or helped.
You need to resolve the flooding issues in the E. Zion area and insure the people of this area are not fighting an uphill
battle.
You should also review the traffic situation on E. Zion. The bridge is falling apart, people think of this road as the E. Zion
speedway, the shoulders are nearly nonexistent and the ones that do exist have gaping holes that can easily shoot a
vehicle out of control.
We urge you to stop letting the tax dollar signs cloud your judgement for long enough to address our problems
=irst. There is no way in good conscience that you can move forward with this annexation before ensuring that current,
ong term residents are being protected.
,Ne are sincerely asking for your help in getting the City and County Planners to work together and resolve these long-
;tanding issues once and for all.

Commissioners and Ms. Masters,
Thank you again for taking the tirre to review this proposal carefully. As I have stated previously, we are not anti -
development, we are against poorly thought out developments that increase the risk for property damage from
increased flooding, increase the risk for damage to our natural resources, and change the dynamics of our
neighborhood.
One issue not heavily discussed is how the annexation will leave out about 12 homes, creating almost a doughnut of
county, surrounded by city. I believe your own planning guidelines state this situation should be avoided. I am
concerned about how this doughnut would affect the residents access to police and fire services. We would also be
affected by city rules, but have no say and no representation within the city government. Others have presented
recommendations to address our concerns. I hope you will consider them carefully. My family is against this proposal as
it is currently written.
Many of us, and you, are overwhelmed with the complexities of life with COVID. Continuing to push forward and
carefully considering long term ef=ects can be a challenge. The planning team has shown, while not always in agreement,
that their intent is for the success of Fayetteville. Please don't let fatigue stop you from following your city goals.
Discourage urban sprawl. Infill where it makes sense (not prime farm land).
Thank you again for the work you do.

Jessica -
A couple of questions...
• How is the development designed to mitigate the increase in rainfall runoff?
• Initial construction can result in large sediment loads to downstream creeks and lakes, so what are the
construction BMPs that will be used?
• Who is the regulatory authority responsible for enforcement, compliance, and complaints??
Thanks!!!
Also, is it helpful for me to send additional flooding videos?? Which is a result of the already insufficient Stonewood
Copper Creek water retention and runoff plan....

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless

Planning Commission Members: As a Fayetteville resident who lives on Copper Creek Drive just off of Zion road I have a
few thoughts on the neighborhood being proposed south of Zion and the traffic situation that would follow. The
proposed entrance to the new neighborhood includes two spots on Zion where intersections would be added. Presently
not only is the one lane bridge a problem before and after work, but taking a left turn from Zion to going south on
Crossover is just plain dangerous.
Traffic would probably end up going down to Hearthstone to use the stop light access instead of Zion. I really feel any
additional housing south of Zion would need a new road that will go west across Crossover to Zion. Entrance from the
new neighborhood to Zion should be very limited, to encourage people to use the stoplight corner on Crossover. That
will be safe for everyone, and keep Copper Creek Drive and Hearthstone from being jammed with commuters every day.
Zion road will need major work, widening and bridge expansion. A new entrance/exi L road would be better for all
involved. Please don't start a large expansion south of Zion until a new road is built. Thank you for your time and
consideration of my comments. Sincerely, Kevin Boote 711-441-0308

_essica, I am at 3258 E Valerie Dr, Fayetteville, AR. I oppose the Chandler Crossing
subdivision, I spoke with Bryon Moore today and he assured me that there would not be a-ly
duplexes or apartments, which are clearly visible with pictures on your planning commission
link. He said it was not low income housing and actually laughed when I suggested it to him.
The pictures tell a different story. I am surrounded on 2 sides of my property with the whole
development. I called to get an honest answer and was made to visualize a beautiful
subdivision. My property was very beautiful and I live on 3 acres and I am now pretty much
reined!

C,,kUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear Mr. Masters,
I'm writing to urge you to deny the proposed development at Chandler
Crossing. I understand the intention to provide needed housing, but please
do not allow it to take place in areas that will affect all our quality of life
for decades to come. This development will affect the water quality of
Lake Fayetteville, which is an important part of the attraction of the area.
Not only is it a destination for much recreation, it is also our fall -back
source of drinking water.
We need to increase the lake's water quality, not degrade it further.
Please consider long-term consequences and not allow this development to
be built in that area.
Thank you,
Maya Porter

Page 102 of 214
Date: 11 /18/2020
To: The Planning Commissioners
Re: 3435 E Zion Rd Annexation and PZD request
In previous meetings, there were significant comments that the above requests simply
did not meet the vision of the commission. In fact, the comments that resonate most
are that the only benefit to annexation is for the developer to gain access to city utilities
for increased density, and the proposed annexation and subsequent rezoning request is
not something to support.
Commissioners have made very valid points, listened to neighbors, and provided
opportunity to the applicant to discuss their reasoning. It is apparent that the flooding
issues, water quality issues, access issues, safety issues, and traffic issues all lead to a
prudent decision to deny the request.
Sprawl and Creation of an Island:
This should definitely be considered sprawl and is not within the vision of the City
Planners. The subject property is surrounded by hundreds of acres of land that shall
remain in the county. As a point of fact, the proposed annexation does not actually
include the physical address on the notice nor where the public hearing signs have
been located. It is "carved" out of the annexation request.
The developer has eliminated two corners of the entire tract of land (one including the
residence with the physical address) from annexation with the only foreseen purpose to
"not create an island," which is prohibitive for annexation.
Planning Commission
December 14, 2020
Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 103 of 214
z
Who's Responsible — County versus Citv Economics:
The subject property is not only surrounded by property that shall remain in the county
but it also lies within the Springdale School District. Under the millage agreement, a
large percentage of the property taxes shall be paid to Springdale; however, the City of
Fayetteville will be charged with continuous maintenance on the county road. The
county also receives a portion of the millage, but with multiple sections of Zion Road
required for access to the proposed development and under the jurisdiction of both the
county and city, who will actually keep the road in a safe condition?
The existing one lane bridge will bear a considerable amount of new and additional
traffic. A damaged bridge will significantly increase the time for service from fire and
rescue vehicles, in addition to becoming an inconvenience to the adjacent neighbors.
Who will improve and maintain the bridge?
To modify the bridge to accommodate appropriate traffic would not only cost millions but
also require significant improvement to the street system. With the subject property
creating an island, will the city or county (or nobody) improve County Road 92 / Zion
Road from Highway 265 to Butterfield Coach?
Traffic and Safet
It is understandable that a traffic study may not be part of the requirement for
annexation, but it MUST be done prior to approval of rezoning for such requested
density.
Also, if annexation is approved, it MUST be confirmed if the connectivity section to
Highway 265 is FUTURE or a requirement prior to development. For all the reasons
outlined and discussed, the adjoining connectivity simply cannot handle the additional
demands
There is already considerable traffic that traverses from the east (Highway 45, Oakland
Zion, etc...) that cut through this section to connect to Highway 265 to navigate north.
Because the Zion Road /Highway 265 intersection is too unsafe for a left turn, many
vehicles daily cut through Copper Creek to "catch the light" and navigate south on 265.
From the next attached image, one can see that there are numerous Springdale
Schools located east and northeast of the subject property. Although the developer is
proposing that primary traffic will enter/exit the project using the future Zion Rd
extension to Crossover, the southern entrance will be much less utilized than proposed
because the schools are located east and northeast.
Along the northern border of the subject property and continuing east, County Road 92
(aka Zion Road) is a narrow 2-lane road with no curb and guttering on either side for the
majority of the distance to Butterfield Coach Road. There is simply no safe way to bike
or walk to those schools along the dangerous county roads.
Planning Commission
December 14, 2020
Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 104 of 214

When Zion Road is unable to handle the increased traffic, the residents of Chandler
Crossing will automatically cut through Copper Creek subdivision, nearly doubling the
traffic on the residential streets. This is one more confirmation it is sprawl. The
infrastructure is not in place or at the City's discretion to improve because t-le main
ingress and egress points will remain in the county. From Highway 26.5 to Copper
Creek Drive, which T's into the subject property, there is not a single stop sign or traffic
signal. Also, David Lashley Park is on the NE corner of the intersection. It does not
have on -site parking, so there are customarily cars parked on the street, thus narrowing
the passing lanes.
As mentioned by adjacent land owners in the recent public hearing, the proposed
entrance from Chandler Crossing to Zion Road is at the top of a blind rill just east of a
90-degree corner with no curb, gutters, or sidewalks. Two large trucks will struggle to
pass in addition to the blind entrance exiting the proposed annexed lard.
To the west of the property, the one lane bridge has been discussed numerous times. It
is in poor repair at this time, with a weight limit of 5 tons (10,000 pounds). Researching
typical fire engines, they are commonly known to exceed this limit by five times. A
typical ambulance can weigh 12,000 — 15,000 pounds, which also exceeds the limit.

Summary:
A simple 30 minute site inspection will have each planning commissioner understand
and agree that this is sprawl and annexation is not the correct decision for the residents
of the City of Fayetteville. The only benefit of the annexation is to facilitate the PZD for
200+ homes for the developer. There are so many reasons to deny the annexation:
• Creates an island
• Potential for existing drainage and water quality issues — both for neighboring
land owners and Lake Fayetteville
• Jurisdiction — county or city? Who is responsible for improvements and
economic impact?
• Safety — School -aged children, neighboring subdivisions, blind curves, inferior
county road as connectivity points, deteriorating one lane bridge.
The infrastructure and improvements to the surrounding area must be addressed prior
to any annexation and subsequent rezoning or development.
Lastly, the annexation and rezoning do NOT meet the goals set by the City:
Enduring Green Network goals
Reducing Urban Sprawl goals

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Hi Jessica, here is a powerpoint presentation that does a nice job describing additional concerns regarding the
downturn of Lake Fayetteville due to reckless placement of housing developments with poor water removal
planning. I understand that this will not be included with the packet but should be provided to the committee

Members of the Fayetteville Planning Commission,
This letter is a request for you to reject the proposed annexation and rezone of the Burge property on Zion Rd. This item
has come up now for the third time and it is time to take a significant stand as to why this decision is not in the best
interest of the City of Fayetteville.
Early in the discussions regarding the Burge farm, the residents expressed concerns regarding the current water runoff
issues associated with this property and the additional water that is being delivered from the Copper Creek subdivision.
The addition of high -density housing, as proposed by the developer, does not seriously consider the water challenge
that this development would have on the region. Prior to the last meeting on this topic, I submitted a powerpoint
presentation that clearly reveals the water related challenges in the Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed. I don't think
anyone can deny that when you look at slide 31 "Priority Sites for Restoration and /or Conservation" you will find that
areas that have undergone neighborhood development, like what is proposed, are the highest priority areas for
restoration. One would have to assume that lack of attention to water control is the main contributor to this
deterioration of these waterways. Poorly planned developments, regarding water management, caused this problem.
Why should the current residents around the proposed development on the Burge farm expect anything different?
Nothing that I have heard through 2 meetings has put me at ease regarding water management.
In the first meeting there was concern that this annexation would create a doughnut with people within county being
surrounded with city of Fayetteville. This problem remains with the current proposal. So, the people that live within
this doughnut hole and are still in the county are afraid that there will be no support for water management. Water will
come from this new development into the "county" with no fear of regulation because it is out of their jurisdiction.
What guarantees do we have that this will not happen? Again, nothing has been presented by the developer to address
this concern. Is it proper for the City of Fayetteville to create these awkward doughnut hole situations?
There has been no clarity as to who will deal with narrow road and the one lane bridge on Zion Rd. Half of the bridge is
City of Fayetteville and the other half in the county. It is fine to say that most of the traffic will exit the development on
the 265 side but how do you know? Why would people living on the northern side of the development drive south then
west through the whole development to exit on to 265? What about the people that work north of Fayetteville? Access
to 540 from this location is not easy. Again, the developer has put little thought into this community concern.
The land in question is within the Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed which means that water from this land makes its
way to Lake Fayetteville and beyond. Current concerns regarding the deterioration of water quality of this lake has been
presented. Concerns regarding the deterioration of the stream banks that lead into Late Fayetteville are described in
the powerpoint presentation. Relevant information regarding the unique features on this land have been presented. In
fact, the Burge farm contains one of the only undisturbed "mound and Swales" feature in the Fayetteville Clear Creek
Watershed that serves as a water filtration system for the watershed. In addition, a large "prairie" is embedded in the

mound and swales region. It would be environmentally responsible to reestablish this region to support the future
integrity of Lake Fayetteville, as an addition to the Botanical Gardens. Do we simply ignore the science -based researc-1
tl-at clearly describes this region and the impact that its destruction would have on the future of Lake Fayetteville?
There is a clear dichotomy between the developers proposed plan for urban sprawl in the form of high -density housing
and the protection of the property of residents living close to the streams feeding Lake Fayetteville as well as the
Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed. For me the decision is straight forward. I wait to see the science that says buildirg
this development specifically on the Burge farm will have a significant positive impact on the City of Fayetteville. I think
there is clear evidence that building this development specifically on the Burge farm will have a negative impact on th
residents living close to the streams feeding Lake Fayetteville and the Lake Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed. Since
the developer has ignored the concerns of the people impacted by this decision, he should not be rewarded for the
plan.

I want to express my concern about the proposed Chandler Crossing development. It risks negative impact on the water
quality of Lake Fayetteville, already contaminated by Microcystin Toxins.The Development would cause building of road,
roof and sidewalk surfaces that would channel sediment and Phosphorous into adjoining creeks. There has been recent
flooding.
I like to kayak on the lake, as well as hike the trails, and I see the great ecological benefits for birds, turtles and fish. Lake
Fayetteville is also a back up water supply for the City of Fayetteville. In addition, I live on Clear Creek, west of the Lake
and am concerned about contaminated water flows to my area.
I believe it is possible and crucial to plan for development without endangering precious, imperiled ecological treasures,
especially those that may serve also as our human and wildlife water supplies.

Jessica,
My husband Ben and I would like to weigh in the Zion Road property being proposed for annexation on Nov. 9.
We have lived in our neighborhood on Valerie Road for 35 years. There are four of us live on lots bordering this
proposed development that built our homes at the same time, then raised our families in these homes. Now our
grandchildren come to our homes to enjoy the atmosphere of our neighborhood and the homes and yards their parents
grew up in. Ben and I shared a barbed wire fence with Robert and Ellen Burge and their cattle, donkeys and llama, and
they were great neighbors! We have always known that someday the farm might be sold, and a housing development
might ensue. But none of us were prepared for the high -density, multi -use, cram -as -many -dwellings -as you -possibly -can
scenario, which is currently before the Fayetteville Planning Commission. I'm sure that our story is similar to the stories
of many people who own homes in this area that will be affected by a development such as one proposed.
Several of us have visited one of the most recent neighborhoods that this developer has done, which included duplexes
and single family homes. The neighborhood is less than a year old, and is already quite run-down and something that
would definitely negatively affect the value of any home surrounding it. Most of the homes have already converted
from single family homes inhabited by their owner to investment properties (rentals).
Our quality of life is sure to be negatively impacted by the dramatic increase in traffic and the noise and light pollution
that will accompany so many people living in such close proximity after being in our idyllic setting for the majority of our
adult lives. That being said, at the very least the proposed development is completely incompatible and almost
conflicting with the immediately surrounding neighbors.
We have spent the last 35 years caring for and investing in our property, with literal blood, sweat and tears, hoping it
would provide for us in our retirement years. The proposed development will surely significantly decrease the value our
home, greatly impacting our ability to survive our retirement years.
Please know we are not opposed to the land being developed in a manner more consistent with the neighboring
homes. We would like for any development to enhance and not devalue the neighboring properties and our ability to
continue to love where we live. Just because a development meets the criteria of a plan doesn't mean it is appropriate
for a particular community within our city, such as in this case.
Therefore we would like the Planning Commission only approve a development of much less density and single family
homes, something similar to the Copper Creek neighborhood to the north of the Burge property.
Thank you for your consideration and time. Please send me a link for the Zoom meeting on Nov. 9th.

Dear Jessie - I have just learned of the proposed Chandler Crossing development and its potential impact on the Lake
Fayetteville watershed.
As a frequent user of the lake and its surroundings - rowing, kayaking, hiking, running, biking - I am very concerned
about the potential impact of the proposed development on the health of the watershed. It seems that the efforts to
not only maintain but improve the watershed health and vitality as promoted by the Lake Fayetteville Watershed
Partnership would be greatly impeded by this development.
This lake is a precious water resource in Fayetteville and needs to be protected and improved, not just for recreation,
but for the preservation of a valuable and irreplaceable resource. Sound and sustainable development practices that
provide for protecting the watershed make good sense for all, economically, environmentally, and aesthetically.
I would ask that you please take these concerns into consideration as the plans for the development are reviewed.
Thank you,

Hello J. Masters,
I am a Fayetteville citizen who enjoys Lake Fayetteville in many ways and who volunteers for the Lake Fayetteville
Watershed Alliance lake cleanups and invasive plant removal efforts..
I am aware of the posted algae bloom warnings this year and the lake assessments with concerns for runoff to the lake.
It seems that it is clear that the city should have a position of protecting Lake Fayetteville, and committing to its long
term improvement, as a backup water source, and as an asset for public recreation.
There are so many reasons that Lake Fayetteville has great appeal and potential. It so naturally works with the
greenway, expansion of biking and hiking trails, Botanical Garden, birding, fishing, and family enjoyment.
And the city's commitment and support to new recreation areas, the south Fayetteville river development for example,
sl-ould not bely the existing underdeveloped natural jewels- Lake Fayetteville the predominant one.
I would like to see this long term commitment to improve the water quality and public enjoyment of the Lake in formal
ci=y planning, and ask in this present moment that any nearby building development plans be required to assess the
impact on Lake Fayetteville., and the Planning Commission bring that serious consideration to their decision making.
Respectfully,

Thank you for the information. I would like the following include in the comments for the meeting.
My name is Adam Pinion and my family and I live at 3522 E Zion, the most northern section of the proposed plan. If this
proposal is approved, I will be on a land island on my own property. I have Fayetteville utilities (except no sewer) and
mailing address, but a Springdale zip code of 72764. This worries me.
Additionally, traffic and flooding are of great concern. The nature of the proposed property isn't consistent with the feel
of the land in this area. The soil is prime farmland. Use the land for what it's best intention should be.
I am against this development and the threat of a land island that this possess to myself and my family.

Good morning, Adam,
The developer is bringing back the same annexation request that was previously tabled, and is now requesting to
rezone the property that is being annexed and a portion of adjacent land along N. Crossover to a PZD, or a Planned
Zoning District. The proposal indicates some commercial zoning along the property's Crossover frontage, and
residential zoning throughout the rest of the property.
For a quick visual, I recommend taking a look at the Planning Projects Map to show the land in question. The project
numbers are as follows:
• ANX-2020-000001
• PZD-2020-000002
The plans can be viewed at this link here. This link includes both information on the annexation, and information

Hi,
I'm writing to ask the city to contemplate opening the extension of Zion Road to the east at it's
juncture with Crossover Rd before allowing additional property to the east of that intersection to be
developed.
This would allow planning to take a future look at traffic and water flow before allowing additional
development work to be done.
Problems that could be overcome before they become massive:
1) flooding in the area
2) diverted traffic through an established neighborhood
3) replacement of a small bridge
By extending the current Zion Road to the east across Crossover Road, master planners could
alleviate these as well as other problems.
Thanks for your consideration.

Dear Ms. Masters,
My husband and I want to object to the large development that is proposed for Zion Road. We bought a house in
Stonewood/Copper Creek in late 2018. We live at 3145 Ladelle Place. You cannot imagine the disappointment to find
out that a developer is trying to put in a huge, crowded complex next to our neighborhood. This is a quiet neighborhood
with so many older folks who walk and so many children on bikes, etc. There is no major road plan to carry the traffic
load for the proposed huge development. Our neighborhood .... nor the surrounding rural neighborhoods .... does not
deserve to have this. Our whole area is quiet, somewhat rural, and with higher end homes. East Fayetteville is
wonderful. We have all heavily invested in our homes.
A developer wants to "sandwich in" a crunched and crowded neighborhood with no major road development to handle
that traffic level. This type of neighborhood DOES NOT FIT INTO EAST FAYETTEVILLE. EAST FAYETTEVILLE IS MADE UP
OF QUIET AND SAFE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS. Not only traffic but flooding is a major concern for many of our
neighbors.
Please help us to preserve our wonderful family neighborhoods in East Fayetteville. Dr. Charles and Rebecca White

The development of Chandler Crossing on East Zion Road will be detrimental to the existing
neighborhoods. Buildings with no maximum height limitations could lead to apartment
houses rivaling those downtown, on campus, and on Dickson. The flooding problems
already in existence in the area will get worse and the water flowing into the Botanical
Garden and Lake Fayetteville will be heavily polluted from the development runoff. Fin2lly
traffic congestion during and after construction will cause personal and property damage,
not to mention increased air pollution.
I respectfully ask the City Planning Commission to reject completely this awkward proposa
that will spoil the environment and ambience of northeast Fayetteville.

Ms. Masters,
My name is Debra Aasmundstad and I live at 4701 Copper Creek Drive, Fayetteville, in the Copper
Creek Subdivision.
I see that the Fayetteville City Planning Commission is, again, having a hearing on the above -noted
matter.
I've reviewed the proposed annexation, and the revised detailed map of the proposed development of
this land.
Sad to say, the proposed development is the epitome of badly designed urban sprawl. The density
and type of housing, and access, is almost comical in its design.
Urban Sprawl is generally characterized by discontinuous, haphazard, uncoordinated, unplanned or
poorly planned urban development. It is characterized by low density, excessive consumption of land,
automobile dependence, separation of land -uses, social segregation and displeasing aesthetics. This
should not become the face of Fayetteville.
Clearly the land will eventually be sold and developed. Preserving natural resources such as
farmland, parks, open spaces and unused land is one way to reduce urban sprawl.
I wish to continue to be proud and boast of being a resident of Fayetteville.
Please practice your due diligence as city planners in considering this proposed land annexation and
this development plan. They do not meet the standards set by Fayetteville in stellar community
design. Surely thoughtfulness, with high standards in mind, need to be at the core of your
deliberations.
Thank you for your consideration. I trust you will act in a manner which keeps Fayetteville a
wonderful place in which to live.

After reviewing the available plans for this project we are even more concerned about multiple things.
*Water exiting the retention ponds, one of them exits right into our back yard.
* Drainage concerns. (Can't stress this one enough)
* Since some of the drainage in this proposal is down their right -away, what part will SWEPCO play?
* Density and style of homes.
*Fence type, if any, along property lines.
*Green -spaces, or lack of, within each planned area.
*Potential loss of property values.

privacy fences would be something that would keep our property values from going down.

slow water getting out of the neighborhood by increasing flow from the development into Hilton Creek? Several yarjs
in Stonewood already flood during heavy rain. Also, I am concerned about the effect on The Botanical Garden of the
Ozarks which has flooded on occasion and suffered damage to plant and signage. The garden is a popular spot for many
people and is supported largely by memberships and fees from activities. The Garden is a big draw to our area from 2 II
of NWA and indeed from all over the USA. Its importance to the economy, to family life, and to recreation and
relaxation should never be overlooked. Thank you for considering the concerns mentioned here.

We reviewed the amended proposal by the developer. Once again, where is the drainage feasibility study, and once
again, there is no mention of the narrow road or inadequate bridge, not to mention the problems with county
ownership or maintenance. It is our understanding that the extension of Zion Road south past the traffic light is a
possible future project that would entail the city purchasing that land and paying for the extension. Since our property is
downhill from a proposed extension, again where is the drainage feasibility study?
We appreciate the desires of the developer, however, to extend Zion beyond the traffic light to facilitate his desire for
commercial expansion along Zion plus apartments and homes seems inappropriate at this time. Zion road from 265 to
his property can not accommodate continuous traffic involving heavy dump trucks and construction materials. I see
nothing in his proposal that resolves the issue with the county. We are adamantly opposed to the city approving this
proposal.

Gear Jessie,
My name is Jessica Booth and I live on E Zion road. I would like to request that this email be included for the planning
commissioners review.
Thank you!
Planning Commissioners,
I am writing today to express concerns regarding the E Zion Road rezoning request, annexation, and plans for
development. Before I jump into my concerns, I'd like to urge each of you to take a drive out to our neighborhood. Take
a walk all around and watch the traffic. Note the condition of the road and the bridge in relation to the proposed plans.
Check out the several 90 degree turns of the road in relation to where the plan wants to put entrances/exits. Check out
our livestock and gardens (although they looked much more alive this summer, the gardens I mean ... the livestock is still
alive and well). You're more than welcome to park at our house, as parking on the street is not a great idea due to the
narrow road. Survey the character of our neighborhood. I can assure you, what is being proposed is absolutely not in
line with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
As was discussed in the last meeting in August, a very large percentage of the proposed property was described as
"prime farmland." Why is this prime farmland being wasted? The properties adjacent to the proposed property are a
semi -agricultural type community. As mentioned before, many neighbors raise livestock, drive tractors, maintain ponds,
and grow gardens to feed their families and neighbors. Most of the homes surrounding the proposed development area
are on 1-3+ acre lots, with plenty of distance between neighbors to maintain our hobby farms or hobby gardens.
We voiced our concerns at the last meeting regarding road safety, bridge safety, and increased traffic problems that E
Zion Road can hardly sustain as is. Also, not discussed as much is the intersection of E Zion road and 265. It is already
incredibly dangerous (especially turning left!). Additional traffic would compound the problem. A stoplight would be
direly needed to prevent even more accidents at that dangerous intersection if traffic increases.
I will attach photos of the sketchy one lane, 5 ton limit bridge that has come up so often in our concerns (which is half in
the city, half in the county). There is also a video attached of the bridge guardrail that is attached by one single bolt. For
reference, google says that an ambulance weighs 5 tons, a cement truck weighs 16-24 tons, a fire truck can weigh 40
tons, and the legal weight of a semi truck is 40 tons. I have personally seen several of these vehicle types cross our tiny
little bridge. I fear that with this type of development, illegal(?) crossings of overweight vehicles will increase and
eventually the bridge will fail.
We talked about flooding that already damages and impacts our property even without an incredibly dense
development upstream. Roofs and asphalt, especially hundreds and hundreds of them will not absorb rainwater. This
Planning Commission

Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 130 of 214
type of development will make it much worse for those downstream, including potentially polluting runoff into Lake
Fayetteville.
None of these concerns that we have expressed previously (or currently) have been alleviated. In fact, with the addition
of the developer's plans for this proposal, my concerns have gotten much worse.
The proposed plans for the property in question are a blatant, almost comical attempt to make as much money as
possible without regard to the current members of the community or the character or the area. As others have surely
said, we are not against development. We would love to welcome new neighbors to this community. At the last meeting
in August, a commissioner suggested that the developer come out and talk and work with the neighbors regarding this
proposed development. I can assure you that not a single attempt was made to communicate with us. We are friendly
folks and would have welcomed a chance to work together to safely (and without creating additional flooding) expand
the area while preserving the character of the neighborhood (6 feet apart and masked, of course).
The developers have made it clear that their priority is not to preserve the character, safety, or wellbeing of the
community, but to stuff as many dwellings into as small an area as possible so as to make the most money possible.
Thank you for your time and your consideration,
Jessica Booth

Subject: Chandler Crossing / 3435 E Zion Rd annexation and rezoning
CA11 T !ON This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
Ms. Masters and Commissioners,
—he latest annexation proposal does not meet the city's guiding policies on what should be annexed. Please
reference my previous letter below (8/24) reviewing the report released just before our last meeting.
All of the previously voiced concerns still apply. Neighbors have issue with increased traffic on Zion,
pedestrian safety, bridge (load and flow) capacity, existing and future storm water runoff, sprawl, emergency
services access, and impact to the Lake Fayetteville water quality.
Last time annexation of this property was discussed, one commissioner pointed out that the lines do not
follow any natural corridor (not even property lines). This proposal does not attempt to correct that issue.
I hope that you carefully consider Mr. Lang's report about the current water runoff capacity of this area and
the dramatic increase in flooding that will occur from added roofing and paved areas. It is in the city's best
interest to avoid floods as the property damage leads to lower home values and water pollution that flows
cirectly into Lake Fayetteville. Extending the city's borders to facilitate more development affects not only the
established homes and the lake, but it also impacts our wonderful Botanical Gardens.
Please reject the current proposal and consider only annexing and zoning property localized to the 265/Zion
light intersection while requiring significant storm water runoff steps be implemented and verified. Even
working systems will degrade and fail over time without proper maintenance.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside cf the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
Mrs. Masters,
I was disappointed to see that our letter — sent 8/17 - was not included in the planning commission report for this
evenings meeting. We tried to keep it to z single page so that it would be easy to read and include. I see that you
responded this morning and said it would be provided to the council, but it worries me that they will not have adequate
time to read ours and other letters that were missed.
After reading through the report, I wantec to provide my feedback and questions on that content in case I am not given
a chance this evening.
1. On page 2 under Infrastructure, you state that any required street and drainage improvements would be
established at the time of development.
a. Is the total cost of those improvements to be borne by the developer? If not, how can the city make an
informed decision withou = knowing the financial impact?
b. Page 9 describes Annexation policies as guidelines "designed to ensure that public services,
infrastructure, and utility extension is properly addressed in order to manage growth". Based on that
definition, it sounds like a -inexation is exactly the time to address those services and not at
development.
c. Can we get the ball rolling on having a flood study done in the section that is already under city
jurisdiction (between the 1-lane bridge and 265)? Flooding is already a concern without changes, it
makes sense that we first determine what is happening before adding additional development.
2. Fire response time is longer than their 6 minute goal. To meet their goal to cover this undeveloped
neighborhood, would the city need to add another fire station and at what expense? Would that also be
covered by the developer or the taxpayer?
3. Page 3 shows scores from the City Plan 2040 Infill Matrix with one of the elements that contributes to that score
as a "4 minute fire department response time" yet it was stated the response time is actually 7.2 minutes.

4. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.S.a states that the city should "not annex areas that create an island or
peninsula". The finding text explains that this annex would not create an island. It does however create a
peninsula of county land wrapped by Fayetteville City limits. This fact counters the guideline.
5. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.d says that the "annexed areas should follow natural corridors".
a. Can you please define "natural corridors"?
b. The findings state that "annexation boundaries almost follow the property lines... [but] does not
necessarily follow any natural, already existing corridors". This seems to counter the guideline.
6. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.f about environmentally sensitive areas
a. The finding section seems to argue that city oversite is needed to address flooding issues, but most of
the land between the named property and Lake Fayetteville is already in the City. This has not helped
matters in the —6 years that we have owned our property. I got to speak with Alan Pugh on these
matters this morning and it sounds like it is currently the property owner's responsibility for keeping the
stream clear of debris. Beyond making sure every property owner understands that, I believe a flood
study could help root out the cause(s).
b. The findings also mention development will be subjected to the City's streamside protection
standards. How will those standards protect current residents and how will they address preexisting
issues?
7. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.g "Public services must be provided efficiently in newly annexed areas."
a. While the Police Department has no concerns with the additional load, we have experienced delays with
the current boundary lines because both City Dispatch and County Dispatch are quick to defer to the
other. Muddying the waters by making an irregular boundary will make this a bigger issue.
b. With the estimated response times for Fire protection service not meeting the current standard, wha- is
the current plan to address this policy?
8. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.h Annexed areas should receive the same level of service — While this address
already receives Water and Trash/Recycling pickup, what additional cost will be incurred by the city to add Fire
Protection (to standards) and Sewer service? I see no estimates in this report. Is there another report that has
those numbers?
G. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.k Proposed annexation areas should not require the upgrading of utilities to mee-
the demands of development unless there is a threat to public safety.
a. Engineering states upgrades will be needed. This statement counters the guideline.
b. Planning states significant infrastructure improvements would need to be made. This also counters the
guideline.
c. There was no mention of capacity for gas.
10. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.m Planning with adjacent jurisdictions— Is Washington Count a jurisdiction? Has it
been discussed with them? Do they want the city to take on Zion Rd. as part of their street plan?
11. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.n "Establish agreements to address regional concerns, such as water, stormwater,
and sewer."
a. How are these agreements established? The finding text only mentions discussions and does not define
the procedure or included parties.
b. What if neighbors do not agree with the plan? What recourse is available?
12. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.p "Designate zoning districts for the property during the annexation process."
a. I understand that Item #7 on tonight's agenda was rescinded. It sounds like the plan is to move forward
with annexation discussion which counters this guideline. It is very concerning to me that the city would
take this step without proper public input and potentially deciding on it behind closed doors. It is
especially concerning if it potentially affects our ability to continue using our own land consistent witl-
how we have since we purchased the property.
13. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.q "An annexation study should be completed on all annexation proposals."
a. The finding states that responses with other departments were included in this report. The only data I
see included is the Fire Department response time estimate which counters guidelines already discussed
above. Please define what an annexation study entails.
b. Where is the cost estimate that will be placed on the taxpayers?
Planning Commission

Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chand er Crossing
Page 138 of 214
14. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.r "Development proposals require a separate review from the annexation
proposals."
a. Will that proposal be public and open for comment?
15. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.t "Encourage larger annexations to create acceptable boundaries."
a. It seems very ambiguous what is considered a large vs moderate size annexation.
b. The finding text seems to skirt over the issue that annexing the portion North of Hilton creek would
create a distinct peninsula as previously mentioned with item 12.3.5.a.
16. Annex Guiding policy 12.3.5.0 "Conduct a fiscal impact assessment on large annexations."
a. Given finding that "annexing land toward the northeastern extent... can pose financial challenges for the
City to maintain the public infrastructure in a fiscally sustainable manner", should we not therefore
require an impact assessment so that the council can make an informed decision?
17. Is the land in question for this annex to be used to establish Title IV (Housing and Urban Development Act of
1968) or Title VII (Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970) housing?
18. Will this item get placed on the next election if passed by the city council?
Based on the findings in this report countering guidelines and no hard data backing up the decision, I cannot understand
why the staff recommends approving this annex request.

CAUTIOi`, This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recogn ze
tie sender and know the content is safe.
Planning Commissioners and Ms. Masters,
I appreciate the information sent out concerning the proposed Chandler Crossing development. As our family stated back
ii August, we have many concerns with this development. Foremost are flooding and safety. The proposal mentions that
a drainage report and traffic study will be submitted. Who will be responsible for organizing these studies? What is the
t_meline for them? Are there any requirements that the studies be completed and someone approve them prior to the
development work beginning? What recourse will current property owners have to combat damages from poorly planned
developments?
Since we moved into our home 6 years ago, at 3397 E. Zion Rd, flooding from Hilton Creek has been a constant
concern. We have seen nothing done to alleviate the drainage issues. There are many factors at play including
unmaintained existing retention ponds, undersized culverts along Zion, and excessive vegetation in Hilton Creek all the
way to Hwy 265. During a hard rain, the back of our property often turns into a river, flowing straight into our neighbor's
home to our west. Another contributing factor is the low water bridge on the Burgess property. They have placed fencing
across the creek, which catches debris and forces the pooling water on their property outside of the creek bed and
eventually reroutes through our property.
The ditches along Zion Road fill up quickly with the excessive runoff and undersized culverts cause it all to spill over the
road. The one lane bridge becomes impassable and a safety hazard as water covers the road and bridge. We have
attempted removing brush up to the one -lane bridge ourselves, but for it to be effective, that action must be carried
through to the larger culverts at Hwy 265. If new development is put in place, without very careful planning and ongoing
maintenance, we are concerned this flooding problem will only become worse. We are attaching pictures from the
f ooding so far in 2020. We can provide pictures from previous years that look very similar. Our hope is that the city a.zd
county can find a way to finally address the cause before adding more homes and development in this area.
We would very much like to remain in the county and at the very least remain zoned agriculture so we can continue to -ise
our land as a family farm. Can you provide us any information about how regulations or requirements might change for
our property if the area is rezoned?
As mentioned above, the one lane bridge is a safety problem. There are issues with visibility, load carrying capacity, and
traffic flow, and it may also be acting as a choke point for water during heavy rains. An increase in population on this
section of road increases the chance of pedestrian accidents, as there are no sidewalks or bike lanes, except for a small
section of sidewalk at Hwy 265 and another section at Copper Creek. People drive through the area with little regard to
c-iildren playing in the yard or people exercising on the road. Our family enjoys the playground in Copper Creek, It is
within easy walking distance, but due to the way people drive and the current state of the road, we usually choose to drive
for safety.
We have not seen any information on how the city will support the families in the new development area. Where will they
go to school? Will current residents be moved to a different school? What emergency support systems will cover this
a -ea? The few times we have needed either police or ambulance, the dispatch wastes time sending us back and forth
between Fayetteville City and Washington County. It seems they do not know where we belong either and care was
d.layed. What will happen if the area doubles or triples in families? How will their services be provided in a timely anc
safe manner?

The proposal mentions the development will be similar to the Lakewood Subdivision. That subdivision is very dissimilar
from the current Copper Creek neighborhood and surrounding rural area. I don't see how the developers can state this new
neighborhood will be "similar" to surrounding neighborhoods.
The proposed development will require the creation of infrastructure. Why should the City of Fayetteville, be left with this
bill? The City has already stated it wants to prevent sprawl. How is this development not sprawl?
My family loves our neighborhood. We love the access we have to both Fayetteville and Springdale. We hope any future
development will work to preserve our environment, not create more problems for flooding or property damage due to
poor planning. We hope developers will carefully consider how their work will affect not only the surrounding homes, but
the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks and nearby roadways that can be impacted by increased flooding. We aren't shying
away from new neighbors. We love the area and understand why others will too. We hope any new families will find a
similar, well cared for environment, with easy access to services. We do not want to see a neighborhood thrown together
quickly with no regards for the timing of fire or police, with no regards to the impact to local schools or nearby property.
I would encourage the planning commission to come out and view the area for themselves. Maybe seeing will help
everyone better understand our concerns. As mentioned above, I am attaching pictures of flooding from this year. We
would welcome discussion on how to prevent this in the future.

Dear Ms. Masters,
live in a nearby subdivision, Copper Creek. The 85 acres behind us can Not sustain a multi family and
commercial properties. There are drainage and flooding issues, traffic issues, not to mention a complete change to the
environment!
We do not want this in our beautiful rural setting. You need to hear what we have to say as residents of this area. Our
area can not sustain more development and keep Fayetteville a desirable place to live. There is too much already! This is
not the area for development for many reasons. I have lived in Fayetteville for 20 years and want my local governme-It

Jessie,
As a Fayetteville resident who is frequently rowing on Lake Fayetteville, I am very concerned with the proposed
Chandler Crossing development. As I'm sure you are aware, the water quality of Lake Fayetteville is not good, with
sediment and P coming in from Clear Creek clearly the culprit. The lake has experienced repeated dangerous blue-green
algal blooms (microcystin toxin), which correlate to the eutrophic conditions in the lake.
The lake has become an important outdoor destination for hikers, bikers, rowers, kayakers, and fisherman. It's on the
square to square bike route, and therefore has visitors from throughout the region. The lake deserves to be protected.
I'm afraid that the Chandler Crossing development, with —400 houses within the lake's nearby watershed, will negatively
impact the lake's water quality. The plan includes miles of impervious surfaces: roofs, roads, sidewalks --all surfaces that
will move sediment and P laden run-off directly into the adjoining creeks without the natural filters that a plant rich
riparian zone can provide. Neighbors have provided photos to you demonstrating recent flooding.
I'm sure the planning commission is also aware that Lake Fayetteville is the City's back-up water supply. For that reason
alone, we should be careful of developments in the watershed.
One of the recommendations in the Watershed Conservation Resource Center's report (funded in part by the City of
Fayetteville) was to "Conserve family farms as working farms ..." This —80 acre plot was until recently a working farm.
I realize that we cannot stop growth completely in an area where the population is increasing, but I would ask that you
pause and reconsider this development with the health of the lake in mind. Can the land be preserved or developed in a
way that will have less of an impact on our water supply?
Thank you for your consideration.
Where can I optain the Zoom link for the Planning Meeting where this will be addressed? And, are citizens allowed to
speak?
Sincerely,
Margaret Britain

Subject: Annexation 3435 E. Zion RD, Chandler Crossing Proposed Annexation
From: Margret M. Walker, resident of Copper Creek Subdivision, adjacent to proposed annexation
My concerns:
1. Traffic access and flow out of a proposed high -density dwellings' area
The proposed street connections:
Two new streets onto Zion Rd from the proposed site going west over a one -lane bridge
to HWY 265 with no stop lights on HWY 265 at that intersection.
Not mentioned is for the more likely scenario of these two new accesses onto E. Zion Rd to flow
into Copper Creek Subdivision onto Hearthstone Drive a more likely route for a subdivision of
multi -family constructions. Copper Creek has struggled with existing traffic speeding in a
residential area along this street. On many occasions speed alerts have been installed at the
request of the POA to protect children and residents from speeding cars some of which use it as
a short cut from Butterfield Trail onto HWY 265.
Also, include as a future street connection is a street in the Fayetteville Master Plan
should a future additional row of lots be built to feed into a proposed street near the
eastern property.
As proposed pushing traffic through the Copper Creek Subdivision on Hearthstone Drive or
across a one -lane bridge.
2. Devaluing of existing property in the Copper Creek Subdivision. The 35' and 50' wide lots listed
for townhouses or multifamily residences adjacent to Copper Creek Subdivision will diminish the
value of existing homes due to the density and traffic flow expected.
The homeowners in the existing flood zone:
Without addressing existing limited street flow out of Zion across a one -lane bridge, the existing
drainage/flooding issue from Hylton Branch (not including the proposal of 260 lots east of these
homes), would that not invite a lawsuit? I do not mention such as anything other than these
homes are at risk as it is. Videos and photos of frequent flooding up to and into these homes
and buildings is easy to provide. To disregard the issues and further acerbate their concerns for
these homeowners simply could not be accepted. Their investments in their home and property
would compel them to protect their investments.
Issues I would hope the Commission would address:
1. Existing drainage and flooding from Hylton Branch.
2. Denying annexation of a high density residential proposal in an area not suited to multi -family
construction.

Jessie, two quick questions for you
Will the emails/comments that were included in the first staff report be included in this second report, or are we starting
over with just new emails?
Are we allowed to know the name of the developer or company? We would like to see any of his previous projects,
which seems only fair.
Thanks,

Michele,
Thank you for reaching out. The developer is bringing back the same annexation request that was
previously tabled, and is now requesting to rezone the property that is being annexed and a portion of
adjacent land along N. Crossover to a PZD, or a Planned Zoning District. The proposal indicates some
commercial zoning along the property's Crossover frontage, and residential zoning throughout the rest
of the property.
For a quick visual, I recommend taking a look at the Planning Projects Map to show the land in question.
The project numbers are as follows:
• ANX-2020-000001
• PZD-2020-000002
The plans can be viewed at this link here. This link includes both information on the annexation, and
information regarding the proposed PZD zoning. The entire project is still under staff's review, and final
comments on both will be available by Thursday, November 5 ahead of the November 9 Planning
Commission meeting. The meeting will begin at 5:30 PM.
The meeting is likely to be held virtually due to the pandemic and information about how to participate
can be found at this link. The meeting specifics are typically posted around 24 hours ahead of time. If
you and your fellow neighbors would like to issue comments and want to make sure they are included in
staff's report, please have them to me by Wednesday, November 4 so I can make sure to include them

To: Fayetteville Planning Commission
Re: Proposed Annexation and Rezoning 3435 E. Zion Rd
Thank you for listening and considering the area residents' previous comments on
annexation in August. Now that the developer has submitted plans for rezoning into a
mixed use project of high density, the neighborhood is even more upset at this
proposal. Our major concerns are drainage, increase in traffic, and maintaining the
quality of our neighborhood.
Flood control and water drainage MUST be addressed prior to any development. Those
of us who live just west and north of the subject property already have to contend with
flooding every time there are heavy rains. Some owners have had their homes flooded
multiple times. Requests for solutions to the city and county over the years have been
brushed off. The stream channel of Hilton Creek is not adequate to handle the amount
of runoff currently from unimproved land. The city and county need to work together on
the ongoing drainage problems before allowing more vacant land to be paved over and
greatly increasing the flooding problems.
The developer's plan for access to the project includes a new east -west street from
Crossover. Who will pay to build this street ... the developer or the city? When would it
be built? This planned street, as a continuation of Zion Rd from the west, is on the city's
Master Plan. Those of us who live on the eastern section of Zion Rd would be thrilled
for this street to be constructed, from Crossover to Butterfield Coach Rd, thereby
reducing the amount of through traffic that we currently have.
But without this new street, the only access to the project is via not one but TWO
entrances from Zion Rd, per the submitted plan. This part of Zion Rd is curvy, with no
shoulders, and so narrow in places that vehicles have to drive off the pavement in order
Planning Commission
December 14, 2020
Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 153 of 214
to pass each other. The number of vehicles using this road already strains safety limits,
especially during commuting hours. Adding hundreds of additional users from this high -
density development, not to mention all the construction traffic, is poor planning. Zion
Rd started as a narrow country road, winding through the countryside ... it was never
intended to be a thoroughfare street.
Additionally, the one -lane bridge over Hilton Creek is on Zion Rd, between the proposed
project entrances and Crossover. The bridge is located in a curve and has been the site
of multiple accidents and almost daily near -misses . The bridge has a 5-ton load limit
which is frequently ignored by heavy trucks hauling gravel, cement, bricks, etc. The
bridge definitely could not safely handle an increase in traffic.
The planning booklet states that a drainage report and a traffic study will be done. Who
is responsible for performing and interpreting these studies? Will it be an independent
and impartial party? When would the results be available to the public?
The proposal's descriptions of the zoning districts and surrounding properties of the
development are inaccurate or misleading. The subject site is adjacent to only R-A and
RSF-4, plus unincorporated areas. Zones C-1 and P-1 are not adjacent to the subject,
but are west of a four -lane highway (Crossover). Rezoning of the subject parcel from R-
A to a mixed use PZD is NOT within the zoning of the adjacent properties zoning districts
and densities, contrary to this statement in the planning booklet. The neighborhood is
composed of single-family homes on sites ranging from 1.3 acres to 29 acres. The
average parcel size is 3.73 acres. How is a high -density project similar to this?
The proposal states: "This development has been proposed to relate directly to the
Lakewood Subdivision to the East of the site, while staying within a similar density to the
Lakewood Subdivision. Furthermore, the land use of this development fits well within the
residential surroundings currently built along E. Zion Road, all while remaining similar in

appearance to the Lakewood subdivision and the Woodbury Townhomes along E. Zion
Road. The appearance of this PZD shall compare to the surrounding subdivision and
developments with its similar lot size, alley fed access, smaller setbacks, and
neighborhood character. "
The developer is currently building Sagely Place, another housing project located on
Zion Rd, but farther west in another neighborhood. Apparently the information
describing Sagely Place was copied for the proposed subject project. The referenced
Lakewood and Woodbury projects are NOT located in the subject neighborhood. The
appearance of the proposed high -density project does NOT compare in any respect to
the neighborhood surrounding the subject parcels.
After reading carefully through the 20-page proposal booklet several times, my
conclusion is that the developer is attempting to "check" all the boxes for urban
planning in order to receive approval by city planners. Otherwise, what would be the
purpose of promoting a high -density project of multi -family buildings, duplexes, and
small -site homes ... all crammed into a semi -rural area on the city outskirts, where 3-
acre lots are the norm? Where drainage and flooding problems already exist, and will
be exacerbated by hardscape and buildings? Where the amount of traffic on a narrow
road and one -lane bridge is already unsafe, and several hundred additional vehicles
each day will only make the problem worse?
During my 30+ years in residential real estate, with 21 years as a Certified Residential
Appraiser, I inspected, viewed, or appraised thousands of properties. In my experience,
high -density developments deteriorate more quickly than any other type property, no
matter how "attractive" they are originally. Multi -family buildings and duplexes tend to
be rental or investment properties, i.e. non -owner occupied. This lack of onsite
attention and care leads to deferred maintenance issues, overall neglect, and a decline
in value, which soon transfers to the surrounding area. This is not the type of
development that I want to see in our neighborhood.

CAUTIC This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize

To Whom It May Concern:
As a resident of the city of Fayetteville who lives on East Zion Road I am extremely
interested in the proposed annexation and development on farmland east on Zion. The
scope of this development and the apparent focus on crowded housing lots, smaller units,
and multi -story buildings, not to mention shopping centers lends this the entire endeavor
an aura of greed -driven, low -quality urban sprawl.
Recent documentation provided by the developers does not adequately address the two
primary issues which cause great concern to me and my neighbors: flooding and traffic. As
a matter of fact, the new documentation seems to be nothing but a paper blizzard to snow
the city as they don't even use the correct name of the waterway that is sourced on the
land in question. They refer to it as Hilton Creek. It is named Hylton Branch. Such an
oversight makes one wonder if they even reviewed the water issues we brought up or
looked at a map.
T-ie traffic issues are another matter altogether. The roadway of Zion to the entrance of
the proposed development is not suited to construction traffic from either direction - east
o- west. I foresee the driveway to my house blocked from emergency vehicles, much less
friends, family, and the mail carrier, when the first loaded dump truck crashes through the
weak one -lane bridge on Zion.
I know money talks and my neighbors and I don't have the funds to fight a foreign
developer, but the city and county citizens who will be most affected by this proposed
development are going to suffer in more ways than financially if this overgrown apartment
and mini -mall complex is instituted. The following is a full-blown NIMBY comment: I don't
want my side of town to look like Martin Luther King Blvd. as it heads west towards
Farmington. While I am not opposed to development in northeast Fayetteville, it should Le
consistent with the beautiful neighborhoods and acreages that already exist here.

Dear Jessica, please consider this letter a complete rejection of the developers plans to build a high concentration
neighborhood on the land designated to be annexed and rezoned. I appeal to the Fayetteville Planning Commission to
take a serious look at this request and consider the damage that this project will do to the surrounding neighborhood 3s
will as Lake Fayetteville. In my worst nightmares did I ever envision a development going on to the Burge farm that
totally rejected the passion that he had for the land. In fact, Robert Burge rejected $4.5 million offers for this land
because he just could not allow his farm to be turned into what is being proposed in this request. There are many
aspects of this request that must be considered. First is the water runoff issue that I address in the letter submitted to
the Planning Commission in August 2020. Based on what I see from the submitted materials this has not been
acdressed. Sure a few detention ponds are proposed and a green space around what is referred to as Hilton
Creek. Neither of these suggestions consider what will happen to water flow from the neighborhood through my
property. In fact, the proposal considers the land to be flat which is clearly not the case. In the most recent rain event
(7 5 inches over 4 days), I estimated that the runoff through my pond was 200K gallons per hour. This was a minor flood
event since the rain came over a 4-day period. I invite members of the Fayetteville Planning Commission members to
cone to my house and explore the land in question. They will see that the developers did not consider reality when
suomitting the proposed development.
The second thing that I want the Planning Commission to consider is if there is a demand for this type of housing project
in :his of Fayetteville. Just south of the land that is in question is a small 29 house development that is of the same style
as houses proposed in the developers plan. The concrete road running through the neighborhood is N. Rolling Meadows
Dr ve. I visited with a resident in this neighborhood and simply asked what she liked about renting in this
ne ghborhood. She said that it was quiet. This surprised me since the houses were so close together, so I asked why,
and she said that most of the houses in the neighborhood are empty or used as short-term rentals like you would find
on Airbnb listings. Right now, several of the houses are for sale. I asked her what the greatest problem was with the
neighborhood and her answer was "flooding, flooding, flooding". This is a small development that butts up against the
Bu -ge land. It is flat and it is drowning in water every time it rains. Narrow concrete roads with no drainage except for a
small trench dug next to one of the road is the only water relief that they have. Water was flowing on the road when I
visited the neighborhood 2 days after our most recent rain event last week.
The bottom line is that I have no confidence that the developer chose to do this project cares a second for those that
wil be impacted. I know that there are other developers interested in the land in question. One of the other develope-s
will be more respectful to the surrounding neighbors, the lake Fayetteville -Clear Creek water shed and (important to
me) the legacy of Robert Burge. I ask that you reject the request for annexation and rezoning of this land until a
reasonable development plan is presented that is in line with the spirit of Fayetteville's future growth and
em,ironmental responsibility. Thank you for your time and look forward to discussing this further on November 9th.

Subject: Anthony Flooding Zion Rd
Hi Jessica, Attached please find photos that support my concerns about flooding associated with the runoff
from 3435 E. Zion Rd. I included photos attempting to show before and after scenarios for different locations
in my yard. My concerns with this rezone of 3435 E. Zion Rd is consistent with most of the neighbors
concerns. How will development of this property impact surrounding land owners with regard to water
flow? My concerns are multifaceted. I need water flow from the land runoff to support the 3/4 acre pond on
my land. Clearly, from the map included below, the flow of water from the land in question is a tributary of
Hilton Creek that originates from the 3435 Zion Rd property and funnels water through my property. Without
the runoff my pond will be lost and there will be significant cost to fill it in. There are several scenarios that
could happen if a neighborhood is built on this land. Runoff could be diverted and ruin (dry up) my pond or I
will get way too much water flow along with pollutants associated with a neighborhood (trash, oils, fertilizers
and pesticides). The water flow is to Lake Fayetteville thus putting more pressure on the lake water
quality. Flooding issues will have to be addressed downstream removing choke points that impact smooth
movement of excessive water to Lake Fayetteville. One of these choke points include inadequate flow under
Highway 265. There are other choke points associated with the lack of maintenance of the Hilton Creek
easement.
Approval of this annex and rezoning plan without understanding the development plan for this land is difficult
to understand. In a way, approval without understanding sets a negative tone for the City of Fayetteville
because it shows lack of empathy for the landowners that will remain in the county on a doughnut hole
surrounded by city limits. The infrastructure for access to the land is inadequate to say the least; one lane
bridge with weight limit, narrow road poor access to Highway 265. Finally, the cut-outs for the section in RI-U
is really odd and creates unnecessary clutter to the map. I had plenty of fence -side chats with Mr. Robert
Burge prior to his death. He loved this land and had always dreamed that his farm would continue in the
family. He had plenty of opportunities to sell the land and could have lived a much easier life. Robert chose
to keep the farm. I will be sad to see this change, not just because of the obvious reasons, but also because of
the loss of a legacy of someone who loved to farm. He loved the land.

Hello Jessie,
It looks like this project is back on the docket again, and I have two questions that I was going to see if you could answer
for me
The development plans show the main access to the property via connection with Crossover/265. I know it was
discussed previously that this road was on the Cities Master street plan. In this proposal, who would be
responsible for building this road?
The developer notes that there will be a drainage and traffic study submitted. Will this be available before the

Nick,
Thank you for your comments. I did want to bring to your attention that the applicants have requested to table the
associated rezoning request at this time. While Planning Commission may take public comment on the item, they will
likely not discuss it since the applicant has requested that the item be tabled. So all that will be up for consideration is
the annexation request. If the annexation passes, the property will be automatically zoned R-A.

Hello Jessica,
We are anxious for the meeting this evening. I wanted to make a few last minute remarks with respects to the agenda
this evening in case I am not able to speak, so I hope that these can still be thrown in the discussion.
• In the 2030 City Plan for Fayetteville, Goal #2 is states that "We will discourage suburban sprawl". We feel that
allowing the rezoning to RI-U contradicts this goal, by allowing 3+4 family dwellings, as well as cluster house
development.
• The rezoning of the southern -most portion of the lot to NC contradicts the 2030 Future land use plan, which
labels the entire area as "Residential Neighborhood".
• We feel like this rezoning would not be consistent with the surrounding area of Copper Creek which has RSF-4
zoning.
• Based on the infill scoring map available on the cities website, our area has a score of 1-3 which should indicate
a low development potential.
I hope that these points can make it in to the conversation tonight, as well as the many other concerns presented by our
neighbors!
Thanks,
Nick Booth

Nick,
Thank you for your input on the proposed annexation and associated rezoning. We always appreciate feedback from
the public. We have saved your comment and it will be included in staff's report on the rezoning item, which will be in
front of Planning Commission on August 24 at 5:30 PM. We do anticipate that the meeting will still be held virtually at
that time. For information about how to participate, you can visit this link. More specific information regarding the
August 24 meeting is typically posted a couple days ahead of time.
As far as your questions regarding a specific development proposal, we have not yet received one. As staff evaluates the
appropriateness of the request, we will look at available infrastructure and report on it for the Planning Commission and
subsequently City Council to consider. Should they receive their development entitlement (meaning, the annexation and

i-ello Jessie,
My name is Nick Booth and I live at 3400 E Zion, adjacent to the property that is up for re -zoning and annexation into the
city. I know that there has been correspondence from most of my neighbors, so I am sure that you are aware of our
concerns with our road and flooding issues. Due to the fact that the planning commission/city council meeting will be
virtual and there is a chance that we will not be able to adequately voice our concerns over the project, I just wanted :o
irdicate our apprehensions to you as well just in case that will help our cause.
I was also wondering if there was any sort of development proposal from the buyers yet? I think it would help ease some
worry from everyone if we had an idea as to what exactly they have planned.
Thanks!

i -Au T iON. This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize

F-ey Jessie,
Thanks for the answers. As a resident living on E Zion Rd immediately across from one of the proposed
e-itrances for this development, I would like to submit some refutations from the developers booklet. I hope
tl ese items can make it into the verbiage for review by the planning commission. My responses are in red
below the developers statements.
J) Relation to existing and surrounding properties: This development has been proposed to relate directly to
the Lakewood Subdivision to the East of the site, while staying within a similar density to the Lakewood
Subdivision. Furthermore, the land use of this development fits well within the residential surroundings
currently built along E. Zion Road, all while remaining similar in appearance to the Lakewood subdivision and
the Woodbury Townhomes along E. Zion Road.
Le-kewood subdivision is WEST of the proposed property, on the other side of the Highway 265. We should
compare this lot to the ones immediately adjacent to it, not on the other side of a major highway. The homes
they mention on E Zion Road are all single family homes that sit on lots of 1+ acre each. The Copper Creek
subdivision is the neighborhood that sits the closest to this property just to the north, and shares a road with
this property. This is an upscale neighborhood of homes in the $300-450K range on .25 acre lots that are not
consistent with the proposed houses. This development does not relate to any property in its immediate
surroundings.
The appearance of this PZD shall compare to the surrounding subdivision and developments with its similar
lot size, alley fed access, smaller setbacks, and neighborhood character. The proposed PZD will consist of
Single Family, 2-4 family, and Multi -Family buildings.
As proposed, this PZD does not compare to the surrounding development. There are no multifamily buildings,
small setbacks, or small lot sizes anywhere adjacent to this property.
Residents of the subdivision will primarily exit along the access point to Highway 265. Additional connections to
E Zion Road are also available but much less likely to be used by residents.
As it stands, E Zion Rd is a county road with a deteriorating single lane bridge. It cannot support any increase
in traffic without significant improvements to the road. The entire proposed section that sits north of Hilton
creek will likely exit to the north on E Zion, causing a significant increase in traffic on this road. This road is out
of city limits, which means the city will not be making the necessary improvements to support this increase in
traffic. In addition, the single lane bridge has a weight limit of 5 tons which will force emergency response as
wel as construction vehicles to enter from a different road. Driving on this road is dangerous. I drive a full size

truck, and I have hit mirrors with other trucks going the opposite direction because the road is so narrow. I am
in near -accidents on a monthly basis navigating the one lane bridge.
CITY OF FAY 2024 PLANNING GOALS
Goal 1: We will make appropriate infill and revitalization our highest priorities. - 17 - The proposed
development fits in with Part D of this goal, the development will promote the densest development around
logical future transit stops at the central spine and highway 265. There are already a significant number of
residential dwellings in this area and developing this piece with a denser development near the existing Route
30 of the Ozark transit system is in line with this goal. The planning area closest to 265 is proposed to be
commercial or denser residential to revitalize and infill with more dense developments.
This is not infill. The property sits on the very edge of the city limits. This is also not revitalization, the property
is currently prime farm land.
Goal 2: We will discourage suburban sprawl. This proposed development is in compliance with Goal 2,
discouraging suburban sprawl, as it is just 1.5-miles from the middle of North Fayetteville. Additionally, the
development follows objective B by developing a more compact and mixed -use development at the edge of the
city, and Objective D, by allowing city influence in an unincorporated area of the city.
This is the definition of suburban sprawl. 1.5 miles to "middle of north fayettevile" is not a city center, nor is it
close enough to justify. This is not close to the Fayetteville city center, and the property is on the very edge of
the current city limits.
Goal 6: We will create opportunities for attainable housing The proposed PZD will embody Goal 6 by creating
a mixture of housing opportunities through the development. Housing opportunities will range from single, two-
family, and multifamily uses. Furthermore, The density of planning areas will range from 4 units per acre to 8
units per acres - 18 - while also creating opportunities for Multi -family housing `hat will create a mix of densities
and housing availability
There are tons of these types of developments going up in West Fayetteville, this style of development does
not fit in with the area. This seems like a blatant attempt to cram as much as possible into this lot for maximum
profit without considering the surrounding area.
L) Traffic study: After meeting with a representative from the City of Fayetteville Planning department, a traffic
study will be performed with development plans to find the impact on existing Zion and Crossover intersection
and N. Zion rd.
What would change in the development with the results of the traffic study? Shouldn't this study be done
before the planning commission can vote on approval?
9) Streets and drainage: Streets shall conform to City of Fayetteville minimum street standards. Street
design shall be reviewed by the Engineering department from the City of Fayetteville. Drainage and storm
design will be provided on the attached site design/master plan- Drainage and storm design will be reviewed by
the Engineering Department from the City of Fayetteville.
The current state of Hilton creek cannot support the amount of rainwater we get without the addition of streets
and rooftops. Shouldn't this drainage and storm design study be done before the development is approved to
make sure the design will work?
ANNEXATION
Planning Commission
December 14, 2020
Agenda Item 8
PZD 20-000002 Chandler Crossing
Page 185 of 214
Annexing this property will make the city/county issue for us residents on East Zion Road even worse.
mergency services don't know if we are city or county, and our road will never be improved if it stays in tl-e
county. Residents on E Zion road are in the Springdale school district. If this property gets annexed, what will
be the assigned school district?

Subject: RE: Zion Rd Annex and rezone proposal
Nick,
Thank you for the questions.
It is very likely in this instance that the developer will be responsible for making any connections that are outlined in our
Master Street Plan, and they would be required to build these streets to meet city standards. As far as your question
a:)out drainage and traffic, drainage and traffic studies are typically provided at the time of a proposed development.
R ght now, the developer is proposing what is called a Planned Zoning District, which typically provides basic guidelines
for how a proposed development should look and feel, but they have not submitted any associated development plars
(such as a preliminary plat, or large-scale development). Drainage and specific traffic requirements would come into play
oice they begin to solidify and move forward with development plans.
I am happy to help clarify this — I also, as always, encourage you to attend the meeting for these items on Monday,
NDvember 9 at 5:30 PM. Here are the instructions for your reference.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Many thanks,
Jessie

Hello Jessie,
It looks like this project is back on the docket again, and I have two questions that I was going to see if you could answer
for me
The development plans show the main access to the property via connection with Crossover/265. I know it was
discussed previously that this road was on the Cities Master street plan. In this proposal, who would be
responsible for building this road?
The developer notes that there will be a drainage and traffic study submitted. Will this be available before the
meeting?
Thanks Jessie,

Nick,
Thank you for your comments. I did want to bring to your attention that the applicants have requested to table the
associated rezoning request at this time. While Planning Commission may take public comment on the item, they will
likely not discuss it since the applicant has requested that the item be tabled. So all that will be up for consideration is
the annexation request. If the annexation passes, the property will be automatically zoned R-A.
For instructions on how to participate in this evening's meeting, please follow this link. Below are some screen shots to
help walk you through the process. Please let me know if you have any questions.

concerns with our road and flooding issues. Due to the fact that the planning commission/city council meeting will be
virtual and there is a chance that we will not be able to adequately voice our concerns over the project, I just wanted to
indicate our apprehensions to you as well just in case that will help our cause.
I was also wondering if there was any sort of development proposal from the buyers yet? I think it would help ease some
wcrry from everyone if we had an idea as to what exactly they have planned.
Thanks!

Re: Proposed Annexation and Rezoning 3435 East Zion Rd.
HILTON CREEK STORM WATER RUNOFF
This report consists of observations as well as numerical calculations to provide
information as to the current state of storm water runoff in the area downstream
of the proposec Chandler Crossing development.
Typically, the design of a storm water drainage system will be most successful
with the use of -ield data that support the design parameters. My objective is to
collect as much information as is available in the time available to compare field
data with a numerical model of limited size, but of similar density to the
proposal. Stream flow data was collected at a point on Hilton Creek about 180
feet west of the Burge farm's western boundary.
Soils in the area are from weathered upper Fayetteville Shale and sandstone from
the Wedington member of the Fayetteville Shale. The resulting soils have low
permeability and porosity. This reduces the rate of water infiltration into the
subsurface, increasing the runoff potential.

further refine the model. The resulting flow is about 2.8 cubic feet per second, or
20 gallons per second. The hourly total is estimated to be around 72,000 gallons.
The main purpose of this exercise is to provide a visual reference for a numerical
calculation of stream volume. Photo 1 shows how the stream looks with about
2.8 cubic feet per second of water volume. This is about half of the flow predicted
by the model using the Rational Formula Method.
Rational Formula Method *
The formula is: Q= ( C ) ( i ) ( A )
Where Q - is peak runoff in cubic feet per second (cfs).
C - is a dimensionless unit for runoff coefficient. Usually stated as .1
to .9; lower means less runoff, higher means greater runoff.
i- is average rainfall intensity in inches per hour (in/hr).
A - is watershed in acres.
• For purposes of the model, the drainage basin is limited to 50 acres
• The runoff coefficient is set at .3 representing the 2-7% sloped terrain
consisting of pasture, grass, and/or farmland, all with clay soil.
• Rainfall intensity is set at % inch per hour
The result of applying these parameters to the formula is a Q of 5 cubic feet of
water per second, or 37 gallons per second. If a peak runoff for one hour is
assumed, the volume from the 50 acres;is approximately 6,660,000 gallons of
water. Visualize a line of about 1,300 tanker trucks carrying 5000 gallons each to
give an idea of the volume of water involved.
The additional runoff generated by the proposed development is calculated using
this same formula.
• The drainage basin is limited to 50 acres.

• The runoff coefficient is set at .6 representing the 2-7% slooed terrain
consisting of single family homes on small lots, with clay so I.
• Rainfall intensity is set at % inch per hour
The resulting Q value is 15. Multiply this by .8 to account for the green space and
u -ideveloped areas, resulting in a Q of 12 cubic feet per second o- 89 gallons per
second. The new totals are 16,000,000 gallons of water or about 3000 tanker
trucks per hour.
The main point of this part of the exercise is to show that changing from pasture
land to single family homes on small lots may cause the runoff to increase by 60%
or more. The higher density parts of the development will exper ence even more
rL noff.

The story pole was constructed and installed at the gauging site on Hilton Creek to
show the following:
• The relative depths of several rainfall events.
• The maximum depth of contained stream flow (24 inches) at the gauging site.
• The depths of two events where the flow was above the stream channel.
There is some distortion from the camera angle, but overall this is an accurate
depiction of the relative differences between the stream depths. The horizontal
marker appears to be at a slope, but it was set with a builders' level to within 1/16
inch of true horizontal.
It is important to remember that the levels at the gauging station represent the
water depth from upstream sources. This means that the flow comes primarily
from the Burge farm and the Copper Creek detention pond on East Zion Road.
Other sources or runoff will contribute to the total flow further downstream.
STORM HYDROGRAPH
A hydrograph is simply the visual representation of the flow of water at a single
point over time. A graph of the most recent rainfall event would appear as an
inverted "V". The line would angle upward to a maximum point, then decline
back down to a minimum. The recent rainfall event would look something like
Figure 1.

The vertical axis represents inches of elevation from the bottom of the stream
channel. The horizontal axis is marked with the dates from beginning of rainfall
until stream depth returns to baseline. The space between the two dashed lines
represent the duration of the rainfall event.
The hydrograph shows a maximum water level of about 18 inches. This is just 6
inches below the level where the stream is above the channel, or the at beginning
of flood stage. This illustrates how close this event came to flooding, even though
the rainfall intensity was low to moderate over a period of about 3 1/2 days with
a total of 6.5 inches of rainfall spread over that time period.
So, how much water is 6.5 inches? Converting to gallons from acre feet, that is
about 176,500 gallons of water per acre. Over an area of 50 acres this would be
about 8,825,000 gallons... And the runoff has only one outlet - Hilton Creek.

The land south and east of the boundry formed by Zion Rd. is in effect a crude
detention pond. The bridge over Hilton Creek on Zion Rd. is the discharge point
for the "pond". When the flow rate exceeds the capacity under the bridge, water
builds up and will flow over and around the bridge. This water short circuits the
creek and flows over Zion Rd. and across our yard at 3322 East Zion Rd. as shown
in the following photos:

Following the water around the house, the stream runs more wes-erly. The
overflow stream rejoins Hilton Creek on the west side of the neighboring property
at a point not visible in Photo 5.
A rough estimate of the flow, based on observed flow velocity and the estimated
cross section of the channel, would be around 4 to 5 cubic feet per second at the
maximum. This is a significant volume of water passing through the yard.

CONCLUSIONS
• This information should be viewed as observational regarding the existing
system and does not address the question of dealing with flood events that
could result from the development of Chandler Crossing as it is being
proposed.
• The existi -ig storm water runoff system has been demonstrated to work
only with low intensity rainfall events and has failed to control flooding at
least oncE per year in the last three years.
• The proposed development may increase the runoff by up to 60%. The
actual runoff is directly dependent on the area covered by streets and
housing. High density = High runoff.
• The importance of comprehensive field data for the design phase can not
be overstated: If the projected runoff is overestimated, the detention
ponds will prevent flooding, even with an atypical, extreme rainfall event.
However, I the projected runoff is underestimated , flooding will continue
to be a problem.

Tell me this isn't happening.
My husband And I moved to, and were married in, our home at 4676 Copper Creek Dr 15 years ago. We retired from
our hectic lives in Santa Fe and chose our home here because of it's tranquil location next to a park, open fields, lack of
traffic, lack of noise, etc. We wanted peace and quiet in our golden years. And now we are faced with losing all of that
because of the possible rezoning of the property across the street from us. PLEASE consider the safety of all the children
walking, riding bikes, skate boarding to and from the playground and park here!
If this rezoning happens, it will ruin every reason why we chose our home. My husband now suffers from dementia and
needs peace and quiet in his remaining years. Please don't take that away from him.

This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize

Jessie & Jonathan:
see that the tabled annexation as well as a PZD is proposed for approval on 11 /9 for the Burge
property on Zion Road. I would like to ask some follow-up questions that I do not think were directly
answered during the previous meeting.
1) Property to be annexed. Jessie, you acknowledged the shape and proposal was "abnormal"
and would probably be a topic of discussion. Can you explain how you recommend the
request as proposed with the two "dog ears" intentionally omitted from the annexation?
2) Zion access. There was considerable discussion about flooding along the property, but the
discussion along the bridge and public safety vehicles was left a bit unresolved. The bridge is
5 ton limit. What is the weight of all the fire trucks at the closest station that should service the
proposed land?
3) Bridge — has anyone from the county or city inspected it and provided a cost estimate to
rebuild it to current safety standards with sufficient capacity?
4) Traffic — has a traffic study been received or required? With the numerous issues discussed
regarding Zion Road and no definitive timeline for the expansion to Crossover, one has to
assume the controlled signal at Hearthstone and Crossover will lead a considerable amount of
increased traffic N/S along Copper Creek and E/W on Hearthstone. Based on density of the
proposed PZD, vehicular traffic could virtually double along Hearthstone and Copper Creek.
a. 1 noticed the police reported no issues previously. Have there been any requested
reports for traffic accidents at Zion & Crossover?
b. David Lashley Park is a walk-up park with no on -site parking, so any cars must park on
the street, thus narrowing the corridor for passing traffic.
I. Have any options for access to Joyce been explored?
I am confident the engineers and developers will complete a nice product; however, the safety and
t-affic patterns to the site shall be burdened by the county or city. Without definitive answers on the
requirements for Zion Road, the one -lane bridge, and a traffic study for the existing Copper Creek
Subdivision, how do you recommend the zoning as presented?
Thank you for your time.

Thanks again to both of you for your information and your reply. One question that I do not see an
email response for is the structure of the annexation. If my information is correct, the annexation
creates an island with existing and remaining property surrounding the subject property remaining in
the county. Did you review the request for annexation in light of the two 'outlying corners" as well as
the border of the county road and adjacent properties on all sides still in the county? Isn't an island
created?

Scott,
My apologies if I missed a response to you on this item. I do know that I received your initial comments and they are
included in staff's report on the item.
That said, to answer your questions, any specific infrastructure improvements that would need to be made would be
reviewed at the time of a specific development proposal. Staff certainly recognizes that the site currently is
underdeveloped for an influx of new housing, and has mentioned current conditions in the report. I should also let you
know that the associated rezoning request for this site has been tabled by the applicant at this time, so all that will be
Linder consideration for Monday's Planning Commission meeting will be the annexation itself. Should the annexation
pass, the land will be automatically zoned R-A, Residential -Agricultural.
The item will be heard at the August 24 Planning Commission meeting, which will begin at 5:30 PM. This will be a virtual
meeting due to the ongoing health crisis. If you would like to participate in the meeting you can do so at this hilk. The
agenda for the meeting can be found here.
Again, apologies for missing your follow-up email. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you both for your prompt response. I am sure you have and will continue to receive comments
from surrounding neighbors. I am curious as to how the traffic flow will be handled for 200+
residences on the exiting Zion Road, which I think is a county road. Also, is it customary for only a
portion of the contiguous property to be considered for annexation and rezoning in a situation like
this?

To Mayor Lioneld Jordan and Fayetteville City Council Members:
Re: Annexation of 3435 E. Zion Rd and Rezoning for Chandler Crossing PZD that is
on your agenda for next week (January 5th17th).
We are Kandy and Dr. Steve Johnson and we live at 4131 Valerie Drive (Ward 3) in
Fayetteville. Although our property is not adjacent to Chandler Crossing, it is nearby
and we are writing as we have concerns about this development. Those concerns
are well expressed in the 1.800 pages that have previously been submitted to the
Planning Commission and forwarded on to you. Please, please spend time
reviewing the letters. e-mails; calls; water studies, pictures, and petition. These
pages reflect various topics such as traffic, safety concerns flooding, storm water
run-off. drainage. etc. The developer has included an area for Parks and Recreation
although the David Lashley Park and the Botanical Garden are nearby. It seems that
the park is on the north side of Hilton Creek and we wonder if this will assist
drainage in working to protect Lake Fayetteville. The meeting for Parks and
Recreation Board to review this is Monday January 4th.
We hope that our City Council has interest in preserving Fayetteville's unique,
quaint, and extraordinary beauty in a controlled manner as it seems developers are
running the show with build, build, build and tons of identical subdivisions. duplexes
with 7-8 cars around them and multiple apartment complexes filling in every square
foot of land. A recent drive around Fayetteville made us sad. This is not the town
Kandy grew up in and not the town that her father, Dr. Rodney Ryan, who served on
the Fayetteville Parks Board for 36 years worked so hard to preserve and protect in
order to encourage people to be a part of this community.
Thanks for listening. We fear that all the effort we have made to stop this large scale
PZD may not amount to a "hill of beans" but at least we tried to preserve the
character and integrity of Fayetteville.
Respectfully,
Kandy Johnson (cell: 479-601-4204)
Steve Johnson, MD 479-841-4306

Comments Re: 3435 E Zion Rd (Burge) Annexation request and Rezoning to PZD (Chandler
Crossing)
Council Members:
Your agenda packets contain several hundred emails and photos from our
neighborhood, along with a petition signed by 68 neighbors. During the months that
these two issues were before the Planning Commission, we repeatedly voiced our
concerns and our reasons for opposition to these requests. Unfortunately, we feel
that our comments have been largely ignored up to this point. We are sincerely
hoping that you; our elected officials; will give more thought and attention to the
future of this neighborhood.
We realize that annexation of this property is probably inevitable. This will hopefully
be an advantage, because it means the city will be responsible for developing a
FUNCTIONING water drainage system around Hilton Creek. Currently, we and
several neighbors have flooded property every time there is a heavy rain. The main
culprit is water runoff from the inadequate detention ponds of Copper Creek. There
are nhntns in vnur nackPts of several flnnriinn incirient� Annn with a sturiv of �4iltnn
Creek, results of water sample tests; and statements by a toxicologist about the
quality of Lake Fayetteville's water. The current drainage problems will increase
drastically if all this acreage is paved over with buildings and streets.
Concerning the proposed Chandler Crossing PZD, we are dismayed! This area is
semi -rural, all the homes are owner -occupied.. and almost all of the properties have
acreage. The proposal is for a high -density development, not at all compatible with
the surrounding area. It seems the developer (and the Planning Commissioners) are
intent on forcing an "urban" project into our neighborhood, thereby permanently
affecting the semi -rural location that all of us existing residents deliberately chose.
The city long range plans call for an extension of Zion Road, going from Crossover
to Old Wire Road on the east. The plan is for this new road to be a major connection
to all the subdivisions on the east side of town. Yet the developer's current proposal
is for a 2-lane street with parallel parking on each side, so how does this fit into the
long range plan?
This development is located in the Springdale school district. So most of the tax
millage would go to Springdale, yet Fayetteville tax payers will be responsible for
paying for all the infrastructure and public services. It seems that the only persons
who will benefit from this project are the seller and the developer.
In closing; we want to remind everyone that the City Plans for 2030 and 2040 list six
goals, three of which are especially relevant.
Goal #1, with the highest priority, is for "appropriate infill and revitalization". The
proposed annexation and project do not meet this goal.
Goal #2 is to "discourage suburban sprawl". The proposed annexation and project
do not meet this goal.
Goal #5 is to "assemble an enduring green network". Much of the subject property
was already identified by the city as a potential green space. So the city has a prime
opportunity, right now, to preserve as much of this area as possible and incorporate
it into the green network.
We realize your agenda this week is lengthy, and there are over 1800 pages in your
packets. We hope you have a few minutes to at least scan through all of our
previous comments on these two issues. We also invite you to visit our
neighborhood, knock on a few doors, see what our area looks like. Thank you for
your time and consideration!

I am writing to support the presentation of Margaret Britain, Dr. Lucy Frasier, and William Correll regarding
the impact of the proposed Chandler Crossing development on the water quality of Lake Fayetteville, and
ultimately of the water supply of our entire community.
This is a passage from their presentation:
the level of microcystin toxin in the lake (produced by blue-green algal blooms), was so high that the
health department required the City to notify the public of the danger. Microcystin is a liver toxin and a
skin irritant. Reports of dog deaths from drinking microcystin in water bodies are common. Microcystin
is challenging to remove from water and has shut down water supplies across the country.
Last June, the city reported a toxic algae bloom in Lake Fayetteville. The cautions reported by the press were
serious, even alarming.
People should avoid contact with the water, especially near the bloom, according to the release.
Swimming isn't allowed at the lake, as usual. Parks employees have placed signs near the lake to
inform park users. Dogs shouldn't swim in or drink the water. The dead, dry algae near the water's
edge also should be avoided because it could contain toxins.
I seems likely that further development in the area would present a danger to the water quality in this
important recreational asset. At a time when Fayetteville is marketing its environmental and recreational
qualities, I hope that you will consider very carefully whether Chandler Crossing, or any other developments,
endangers or diminishes these qualities.
Thank you for your attention to this.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize

Dear Councilwoman Bunch and Councilman Scroggin, Mayor Jordan, other members of the City Council, and Clerk
Paxon,
We are writing today as born and raised citizens of Fayetteville, and 35 year residents of our current home on Valerie
Drive, adjacent to Robert Burge's farm. We chose this site on which to build our life long home for the large lots, for the
area and for the fact that our neighbors to the east would be cows, donkeys and a llama. Many people come to our
he me and call it paradise, definitely not for the house itself, but for the country feel in the city limits.
We are opposed to the proposed annexation and re -zoning for numerous reasons. These reasons were clearly stated by
many of our neighbors and area residents, including ourselves, when it was brought before the Planning Commission.
We believe this proposed development is way too dense and are greatly concerned about the increased amount of
noise, extreme increase in traffic, and light pollution that would result from this urban sprawl.
As very well explained by several experts to the Planning Commission, we too are greatly concerned that this type of
development would put undue strain on the water issues that currently exist on this property and the negative
environmental impact it would have on Lake Fayetteville.
We are aware that Fayetteville has a 2040 Plan, but we are not in complete agreement with this plan. As long-time
citizens of Fayetteville, we feel that the impact new developments have on existing homeowners/tax payers should be
of significant concern when considering these developments. Very selfishly, we are concerned about the impact this
type of development would have on the value of our property, which is one of the major provisions we have for our
retirement, which is not so far away. Living on a spacious, quiet lot has provided a sense of happiness, contentment and
relaxing environment, and we believe the fact that we do have spacious lots in NW Arkansas is one of the main
attractions for the people moving here. Many people are moving away from places with densely placed homes to NW
Arkansas for this very reason. A lesson we have learned from our COVID experience and working from home is the value
of being in a quiet area where one can feel secure and content.
As we visited the Lights of the Ozarks last week we were noticing once again the lovely historic district. The lot sizes in
those neighborhoods are significantly larger than what we have seen in this proposed development. We would like to
see a development with much larger sized lots, similar to the historic district, to reduce the amount of hard scape in the
overall development. As well, we would like to see much more green space. Cutting back on the amount of hard scape
would obviously help address the water issues.
If this development were to be approved we would ask that all lots that are contiguous with existing single family homes
must be single family dwellings, and be the largest lots in this proposed development to protect the lifestyle experience
of current residents. As well, we would ask that these homes be required to install privacy fencing and multiple trees in
the backyards.
Thank you for your consideration!

Greetings Council Members,
I apologize for burdening you with such a long letter, but the water quality issues involved with the
Chandler Crossing development are complex and critical to the health of our City. I hope that you will
take all the time that you need as a Council to carefully consider how you will proceed. Further studies,
perhaps an independent environmental impact study, might be warranted before you come to a
decision.
This week when you begin to study the proposed Chandler Crossing development, please step back for
a moment and consider the well-being of one of our parks, Lake Fayetteville. What happens in the
Chandler Crossing area will have a direct and immediate impact on the quality of water in the lake.
The problem: The Chandler Crossing development will have a significant impact on phosphorus
levels in Lake Fayetteville.
Background:
A quick reminder: Lake Fayetteville is listed on the 2018 list of impaired waterbodies.' We need to
improve the water quality in the lake, not let it further degrade. For the last two summers, the level of
microcystin toxin in the lake (produced by blue-green algal blooms), was so high that the health
department required the City to notify the public of the danger. Microcystin is a liver toxin and a skin
irritant. Reports of dog deaths from drinking microcystin in water bodies are common. Microcystin is
challenging to remove from water and has shut down water supplies across the country.
Why do we have so much algae? That's simple: too much phosphorus (P). Research on Lake
Fayetteville has shown that P is the limiting nutrient in the lake. That simply means that algae have
plenty of everything they need for virtually unlimited growth (C, H, O, N, etc.), except P. So, the more
P that flows into the lake, the more algae.
Hilton Creek flows through the Chandler Crossing land, and within a very short distance, into Lake
Fayetteville. From there it flows into Clear Creek and then into the Illinois, which runs west into
Oklahoma where it eventually joins the Arkansas and comes back into our state, finally ending up in
the Mississippi and then the Gulf of Mexico. As a water rich state, we have a considerable obligation to
protect the waters running through our neighborhoods and beyond.
The P levels in Hilton Creek are critical to the health of the lake and to all downstream waters. Recent
P levels in the creek were .13 mg/l after a light rain on 11 /10/20 and .25 mg/l after a heavier rain on
11 /25/20. The highest level, .55 mg/l, came from a rivulet flowing over the land headed for the creek. z
To begin to put these P levels in perspective remember that the legal limit for P in the Illinois River as
the water crosses into Oklahoma is .037 mg/l. The water flowing into Hilton Creek is up to 15 times
higher than that legal limit! Oklahoma sued Fayetteville in 1986 over high levels of P in the Illinois and
the Supreme Court ruled that "downstream states water quality laws must be met at the state line". 3
Fayetteville responded by doing an excellent job in removing P from our wastewater effluent.
Unfortunately, we have not yet begun to tackle non -point source pollution from run-off in soils like
those in Chandler Crossing.
The Chandler Crossing farmer stated that her father had access to free chicken litter and for many years
spread it on the land which he used for grazing cattle. This has historically been a common farming
practice in NW Arkansas. The litter contains high levels of P which fuels plant growth. Unfortunately,
this land has become saturated with P, and frequent flooding and degraded stream -banks move tons of P
laden sediment into the creek every year. This is the situation now, pre -development.
Solutions:
1) i would argue that it is important for the City to annex in the land and to address the flooding 4 and
water quality issues. Clearly, the county is not addressing these issues, has no stream -bank protection
guidelines, and has allowed homes in the area to be built on land very prone to flooding. To not annex
the land would be a decision to allow the lake to continue to degrade. We must protect our parks, and
for this one, that means protecting the quality of its water. That's the simple decision, I think. But the
PZD? A much more complex issue, for sure.
The Planning Commission was generally very pleased with the latest iteration (the process started back
in August) of the PZD for Chandler Crossing. It met many of their goals regarding dense housing,
building styles, and the possibility for some affordable housing. They were impressed by the open areas
around the creek and north of the creek. But they didn't much dive into the messy issues regarding
increased water flow from the addition of extensive impervious surfaces (streets, sidewalks, roofs).
This kind of detail is not required in a PZD, unfortunately. But the council can add conditions of
approval, certainly, if it decides to move forward with this plan.
2) If you move to approve the PZD, there need to be stringent conditions of approval such as:
1) Require an approved comprehensive storm -water management plan before any construction can
begin. Require that rainwater gardens be built perpendicular to the flow of water and then flow
into a series of holding ponds that will meet the requirement to remove 80% of total suspended
solids (TSS). The sediments are bound to P. The holding ponds must be built to accommodate
100 year floods, but the developer has said that they are only bound to build for a I year flood.
With climate change we are seeing increased flooding, very often, and must develop to
accommodate that reality. The council must be certain that the capacity is sufficient.
2) The flood zones adjacent to Hilton Creek must have P removed either by topsoil scraping and
removal or by repeated plantings of plants that take up a large amount of P, and then removing
the above ground foliage from the watershed (phytoremediation).
3) The City should either take ownership of the proposed park donation to the city (north of the
creek) OR should facilitate the transfer of the land to a conservation group. Either way it should
be remediated with native prairie plants or with other native plantings that will best protect
Hilton Creek. The Parks Commission has said they would rather not take on this park, partly
because they don't want to deal with any flooding and partly because another park is right
across the street. The developer has said that if the City doesn't take the land it will be
developed. The City needs to work with the NW Arkansas land trust, The Nature Conservancy,
The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks, or the Illinois River Watershed Partnership to manage this
land as a conservation area that will protect and improve the water quality.
4) The creek should be remediated to its earlier sinuosity and all stream -banks restored to protect
the water quality. Stream -bank restoration must be done by an entity with proven expertise in
this endeavor.
5) All public green spaces must be planted with 500/o/ft2 native species.
6) The HOA covenants should prohibit P fertilization unless soil tests prove a significant depletion.
Please note that none of the above conditions are in the PZD. The devil is certainly in the details on this
one. Development could possibly improve water quality in the creek, or it could make the situation
much worse. As the owner of Lake Fayetteville, the City must begin to take more ownership of the
health of its watershed.
Thank you for your attention and your careful consideration.
Best wishes for a healthy City in the New Year.

Dear membersofthe Fayetteville City Council,
This letter is a •equestforyou to reject the proposed annexation and rezone of the Burge
pro pertyon Zion Rd. Over the course of this letter I will try to summarize the contents of4otherletters
that I prepared for the Fayetteville Plan ningCommission. I invite you to review these letters because
they include mores pecificdetails of my concerns as well as supporting photos/ websites and news
articles. The first thing that I want to assure you is the fact that I am not alone in expressing concerns
regarding the high-dersity housing project proposed forth Burge Farm. Essentially all the residents in
the surrounding properties as well as friends of Lake Fayetteville resist this. Even the Fayetteville
Planning Commission had significant concerns as well. This annexation and rezone request was tabled
multiple times by the Planning Commission because of community concerns and lack of a meaningful
plan by the developer. This hesitation by the Fayetteville Planning Commission should be considered as
a red flag to the project. The rejection of the park land offered tothe Fayetteville Parks and Recreation
Committee should be a second red flag. Overthe course of these meetings, water management issues
surrounding this project were front and center. This development will have a negative impact on Lake
Fayetteville and will extend flood plain areas along Hilton Creek.
Early in the discussions regarding the Burge farm, the residents expressed serious concerns
regardingthe current water runoff issues associated with this property and the additional waterthat is
being delivered from tVeCopperCreeksubdivision. Theadditionofhigh-density housing, as proposed
by the developer, does not seriously considerthe waterchallenge thatthis development would have on
the region. I have included a powerpoint presentation that clearly reveals the waterrelated challenges
in the Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed. I don'tthink anyone can denythat when you look at slide 31
"Priority Sites for Restoration and/or Conservation" you will find that areas that have undergone
neighborhood development, like what is proposed, are the highest priority areas for restoration. One
would have to assume that lack of attention to watercontrol is the main contributorto this
deterioration of these waterways. Poorly planned developments, regarding water management, caused
this problem. Why should the current residents around the proposed development on the Burge farm
expect anything different? NothingthatI have heard through all the Fayetteville Planning Commission
meetings has put me at ease regarding water management.
In the first meeting the re was concern that this annexation would create a doughnut with
people within county being surrounded with city of Fayetteville. This problem remains with the current
proposal. So, the peop a that live within this doughnut hole and are still in the county are afraid that
there will be no support for water management. Waterwill come f rom this new development into the
"county" with no fear of regulation because it is out of their jurisdiction. What guarantees do we have
that this will not happei? Again, nothing has been presented by the developertoadd ressthis
concern. Is it properfo-the City of Fayetteville to create these awkward doughnut hole situations?
Why has nobody reached outto the doughnut hole residents to invite them into the city limits?
There has been no clarity as to who will deal with narrow road and the one lane bridge on Zion
Rd. Half of the bridge is City of Fayetteville and the other half in the county. I bring this up because the
project Architect said that if the offered park land was not accepted then the development would
extend into the northern portion of the Burge Farm. The Park and Recreation Committee rejected this
offered park land. Residents in houses built on the north side of the proposed project will enteron to
Zion Rd causing more problems on a narrow road with a bridge not capable of supporting the weight of
a firetruck. It is fine to say that most of the traffic will exitthe development on the 265 side but how do
you know? Why would people living on the northern side of the development drive south then west
through the whole development to exit onto 265? What about the people that work north of
Fayetteville? Access to 540 from this location is not easy. Again, the developer has put little thought
into this community concern.
The land in question is within the Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed which means that water
fromthis land makes its wayto Lake Fayetteville and beyond. Current concerns regardingthe
deterioration of water quality of this lake has been presented. Concerns regarding the deterioration of
the stream banks that lead into Late Fayetteville are described in the powerpoint
presentation. Relevant information regardingthe unique features on this land have been presented. In
fact, the Burge farm contains one of the only undisturbed "mound and Swales"feature in the
Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed that serves as a waterfiltration system forthe watershed. In
addition, a large "prairie" is embedded in the mound and Swales region (see powerpoint). It would be
environmentally responsible to reestablish this region to supportthe future integrity of Lake
Fayetteville. It could be a nice addition to the Botanical Gardens. Do we simply ignore the science -
based research that clearly describesthis region and the impact that its destruction would have on the
future of Lake Fayetteville? Somebodywill have to educate me as to how building a high -density
housing project on the top of grasslands that currently absorb rainfall will result improve waterflow to
lake Fayetteville. Contaminants associated with sewer runoff (oil, fertilizer, trash) will be concentrated
in detention ponds. Rainwaterfromthe development will be heated by hot roofs, streets and sidewalks
and moved to detention ponds where the water will continue to warm before discharge to Hilton Creek
onto Lake Fayetteville. Just imagine the algal blooms that warm contaminated water will grow.
There is a clear dichotomy between the developers proposed plan for urban sprawl in the form
of high -density housing and the protection of the property of residents living close to the streams
feeding Lake Fayetteville as well as the Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed. Forme the decision is
straightforward. I wait to seethe science that says building this development specifically on the Burge
farm will have a significant positive impact on the City of Fayetteville. I think there is clear evidence that
building this development specifically on the Burge farm will have a negative impact on the residents
living close to the streams feeding Lake Fayetteville and the Lake Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed. I
trust that you will choose environmental impact over urban sprawl. It is my understanding that
Fayetteville is a city that "can go green in a red state". Please read the following article:

Comments To Mayor Lioneld Jordan and all City Council Members
I've said it before and I'll say it again; this large scale PZD does not make any
sense: Please please please pay attention to the people of Fayetteville"s opposition
to this large scale development (AND it is 370 units not 2601..) and the effects that it
can have. We have given you pages and pages of reasons to not let this happen.
Respectfully submitted. Steve and Kandy Johnson

Position Opposed
Comments I have included 2 letters of opposition to these agenda items. I also have attached a
power point presentation about the Lake Fayetteville/ Clear Creek Watershed that
you must consider when deciding this request.
1 /6/2021
Dear members of the Fayetteville City Council,
This letter is a request for you to reject the proposed annexation and rezone of the
Burge property on Zion Rd. Over the course of this letter I will try to summarize the
contents of 4 other letters that I prepared for the Fayetteville Planning Commission. I
invite you to review these letters because they include more specific details of my
concerns as well as supporting photos/ websites and news articles. The first thing
that I want to assure you is the fact that I am not alone in expressing concerns
regarding the high -density housing project proposed for the Burge Farm. Essentially
all the residents in the surrounding properties as well as friends of Lake Fayetteville
resist this. Even the Fayetteville Planning Commission had significant concerns as
well. This annexation and rezone request was tabled multiple times by the Planning
Commission because of community concerns and lack of a meaningful plan by the
riPvelnner This he¢itatinn by the FAVettP..viIIP. Plannino (-nmmissinn ShnuLi he
considered as a red flag to the project. The rejection of the park land offered to the
Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Committee should be a second red flag. Over the
course of these meetings, water management issues surrounding this project were
front and center. This development will have a negative impact on Lake Fayetteville
and will extend flood plain areas along Hilton Creek.
Early in the discussions regarding the Burge farm, the residents expressed serious
concerns regarding the current water runoff issues associated with this property and
the additional water that is being delivered from the Copper Creek subdivision. The
addition of high -density housing, as proposed by the developer, does not seriously
consider the water challenge that this development would have on the region. I have
included a powerpoint presentation that clearly reveals the water related challenges
in the Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed. I don't think anyone can deny that when
you look at slide 31 "Priority Sites for Restoration and /or Conservation' you will find
that areas that have undergone neighborhood development. like what is proposed,
are the highest priority areas for restoration. One would have to assume that lack of
attention to water control is the main contributor to this deterioration of these
waterways. Poorly planned developments, regarding water management, caused
this problem. Why should the current residents around the proposed development
on the Burge farm expect anything different? Nothing that I have heard through all
the Fayetteville Planning Commission meetings has put me at ease regarding water
management.
In the first meeting there was concern that this annexation would create a doughnut
with people within county being surrounded with city of Fayetteville. This problem
remains with the current proposal. So, the people that live within this doughnut hole
and are still in the county are afraid that there will be no support for water
management. Water will come from this new development into the "county" with no
fear of regulation because it is out of their jurisdiction. What guarantees do we have
that this will not happen? Again, nothing has been presented by the developer to
address this concern. Is it proper for the City of Fayetteville to create these awkward
doughnut hole situations? Why has nobody reached out to the doughnut hole
residents to invite them into the city limits?
There has been no clarity as to who will deal with narrow road and the one lane
bridge on Zion Rd. Half of the bridge is City of Fayetteville and the other half in the
county. I bring this up because the project Architect said that if the offered park land
was not accepted then the development would extend into the northern portion of
the Burge Farm. The Park and Recreation Committee rejected this offered park
land. Residents in houses built on the north side of the proposed project will enter
on to Zion Rd causing more problems on a narrow road with a bridge not capable of
supporting the weight of a firetruck. It is fine to say that most of the traffic will exit the
development on the 265 side but how do you know? Why would people living on the
northern side of the development drive south then west through the whole
development to exit on to 265? What about the people that work north of
Fayetteville? Access to 540 from this location is not easy. Again. the developer has
put little thought into this community concern.

that water from this land makes its way to Lake Fayetteville and beyond. Current

The land south and east of the boundary formed by Zion Road is in effect a crude
detention pond. The bridge over Hilton Creek on Zion Road is the discharge point
for the "pond". When the flow rate exceeds the capacity under the bridge, water
builds up and will flow over and around the bridge. This water short circuits the
creek, flows over Zion Road, and across nearby yards, as shown in the following
photos:

The vertical axis represents inches of elevation from the bottom of the stream
channel. The horizontal axis is marked with the dates from beginning of rainfall
until stream depth returns to baseline. The space between the two dashed lines
represent the duration of the rainfall event.
The hydrograph shows a maximum water level of about 18 inches. This is just 6
inches below the level where the stream is above the channel, or the at beginning
of flood stage. This illustrates how close this event came to flooding, even though
the rainfall intensity was low to moderate over a period of about 3 1/2 days with
a total of 6.5 inches of rainfall spread over that time period.
So, how much water is 6.5 inches? Converting to gallons from acre feet, that is
about 176,500 gallons of water per acre. Over an area of 50 acres this would be
about 8,825,000 gallons... And the runoff has only one outlet - Hilton Creek.
Page 6
There is some distortion from the camera angle, but overall this is an accurate
depiction of the relative differences between the stream depths. The horizontal
marker appears to be at a slope, but it was set with a builders' level to within 1/16
inch of true horizontal.
It is important to remember that the levels at the gauging station represent the
water depth from upstream sources. This means that the flow comes primarily
from the Burge farm and the Copper Creek detention pond on East Zion Road.
Other sources of runoff will contribute to the total flow further downstream.
STORM HYDROGRAPH
A hydrograph is simply the visual representation of the flow of water at a single
point over time. A graph of the most recent rainfall event would appear as an
inverted N". The line would angle upward to a maximum point, then decline
back down to a minimum. The recent rainfall event would look something like
Figure 1.

Story pole, figure for scale.
STORY POLE
The story pole was constructed and installed a= the gauging .3ite on Hilton Creek
to show the following:
• The relative depths of several rainfall eventa.
The maximum depth of contained stream flow (24 inches) at the gauging site.
The depths of two events where the flow was above the stream channel.
Page 4
The main point of this part of the exercise is to show that changing from pasture
land to single family homes on small lots show a calculated increase of more than
double the previous amount. Because of many unknowns, an estimate of real
world results would be least a 60% increase, but probably much more.
Photo 2: Oct. 28, 2020
Average depth is about 12 inches.
Page 3
Rational Formula Method *
The formula is: Q= (C) (i) (A )
Where Q - is peak runoff in cubic feet per second (cfs).
C - is a dimensionless unit for runoff coefficient. Usually stated as .1
to .9; lower means less runoff, higher means greater runoff.
i- is average rainfall intensity in inches per hour (in/hr).
A - is watershed in acres.
• For purposes of the model, the drainage basin is limited to 5J acres.
• The runoff coefficient is set at .3 representing the 2-7% sloped terrain
consisting of pasture, grass, and/or farmland, all with clay so I.
• Rainfall intensity is set at % inch per hour
The result of applying these parameters to the formula is a Q of 5 cubic feet of
water per second, or 37 gallons per second. If a peak runoff for one hour is
assumed, the volume from the 50 acres is approximately 133,200 gallons.
The current runoff with additional runoff generated by the proposed
development is calculated using this same formula.
• The drainage basin is limited to 50 acres.
• The runoff coefficient is set at .6 representing the 2-7% sloped terrain
consisting of single family homes on small lots, with clay soil.
• Rainfall intensity is set at % inch per hour
Changing the runoff coefficient to reflect the increase in hard surface area and
other factors, the new total will be about 12 cubic feet per second or 89 gallons
per second. Runoff for the same time period as before is 323,136 ga Ions. More
than double the previous calculated amount.

Photo 1: GAUGING SITE, Hilton Creek, Oct. 26,2020
Average depth is about 6 inches.
The main purpose of this exercise is to provide a visual reference for a numerical
calculatio-) of stream volume. Photo 1 shows how the stream looks with about
2.8 cubic feet per second of water volume. This is about half of the flow predicted
by the model using the Rational Formula Method.

HILTON CREEK STORM WATER RUNOFF
This report consists of observations as well as numerical calculations to provide
information as to the current state of storm water runoff in the area downstream
of the proposed Chandler Crossing development.
Typically, the design of a storm water drainage system will be most successful
with the use of field data that support the design parameters. My objective is to
collect as much information as is available in the time available to compare field
data with a numerical model of limited size, but of similar density to the
proposal. Stream flow data was collected at a point on Hilton Creek about 180
feet west of the Burge farm's western boundary.
Soils in the area are from weathered Fayetteville Shale and sandstone from the
Wedington member of the Fayetteville Shale. The resulting soils have low
permeability and porosity. This reduces the rate of water infiltration into the
subsurface, increasing the runoff potential.
Recent rainfall provided the opportunity to check the stream depth and flow after
a rainfall event. The total for the preceding 24 hours was 2.75 inches (on site rain
gauge at 3322 E Zion). The stream channel is completely covered to an average
depth of about 6 inches across the test area. The stream velocity was measured
using the Velocity Head Rod method to get a value of 1.63 feet per second.
Since the velocity is highest at the surface, the 1.63 will be reduced to 1.0 feet per
second to account for change in velocity with depth. With the average depth of 6
inches and width of 10 feet, the cross sectional area is 5 square feet. The cross
section will be reduced by 30% vertically and 20% horizontally to further refine
the model. The resulting flow is about 2.8 cubic feet per second, or 20 gallons per
second. The hourly total is estimated to be around 72,000 gallons.

Comments 1 want to open my remarks with a question. Are you, as either an individual or as a
group, willing to take responsibility for the consequences of your actions today?
I am sympathetic to the situation that the Burge Trust finds itself in — we have this
property, now what do we do with it? Not unlike the family in Newton County, who
also found themselves with a parcel of marginal farmland. One day a knock at the
door or a phone call, and a business with deep pockets is offering a sure-fire way to
make an income. This farmland was also upstream, but this time from the Buffalo
River. Not adjacent to it, and about seven miles away. This proposal met the criteria
for a state permit and so one was issued. We all know how that turned out. We may
not know how many man hours and public dollars were spent on this proposal after
the fact; but trust me, the cost of both was extremely high. It is public information.
What would the reaction be if the Burge Trust decided to contract with a poultry
business and install multiple growing houses across this acreage which is just
upstream from our Lake Fayetteville?
Information and videos have already been prov ded to you regarding the historical
floods through Hilton Creek, now averaging at least one per year. The intensive
hardscape development of the Chandler Crossing proposal will send not only huge
volumes of water through the stream to Lake Fayetteville but carried in that water
will be all sorts of people waste — pesticides, he bicides, fertilizers, oils, trash. you
name it.
The developers will say that they have plans in place to accommodate the runoff.
You must only observe what is happening on the North side of Zion Road, also uphill
from Hilton Creek. The retention ponds in those developments do not retain water.
Who is responsible for maintaining those ponds and making sure they work as
required? Apparently. no one. Who bears the cost of cleaning up after each flood?
The homeowners, not the city, not the county.
Perhaps the Burge Trust could consider alternatives for development, such as
Bridgewater Estates, single homes on acre+ lots. Or partnering with a utility
company for a solar array installation. There must be something other than trying to
cram as many housing units as possible into as little space as possible. while
bulldozing as much land as possible.
I am not naive enough to believe that this property will never undergo development.
I am only pleading that you step back, consider the science -based information
provided to you, and evaluate the affordability of -his particular proposal to the future
of Fayetteville's natural and financial resources.
Future generations must live with the consequences of your decision. Please say no
to the Chandler Crossing development as proposed.

represents a potential deficit while a result of greater than 1" is a surplus.
Planning Area 1 Planning Area 2 Total
1.47 0.93 1.22
SUMMARY:
Without counting additional State and Federal funding or grants, the annual revenue compared
to the annual costs anticipates a surplus for the overall Chandler Crossing PZD. As noted
above, a critical assumption of this analysis is the conservative scenario of development under
Planning Area 1, where a broad spectrum of nonresidential uses are permitted along with multi-
family housing. Assuming increased density and intensity of development, associated increases
in property tax and sales tax revenues are likely.
The other critical policy assumption regards the status of the one-time impact fees. The intent of
impact fees is to offset potential capital deficits that may result from growth and development. In
this instance, the impact fees may create a surplus due to the presence of existing street, water,
and sewer infrastructure along Crossover Road.

• Economic Vitality Staff Memo
• Supporting Data
• Fire Department Operational Impact Exhibit
Conversely, Planning Area 2 includes a higher -degree of detail, with 340 residential dwellings
specifically proposed, and an allowance for single-, 2-, 3-, and 4-family housing. This
information affords increased certainty in the validity of results. Accordingly, the numbers for
Planning Areas 1 and 2 have been provided separately to afford individual evaluation.
The attached spreadsheets were created by the Development Services Department with
supporting data from Fayetteville's Economic Vitality, Fire, Police, and Public Works
Departments. As indicated on the spreadsheets, development in Fayetteville generates both
one-time revenue and continuing annual revenue.
One-time Revenue:
For most categories of development occurring in Fayetteville, fees are required to off -set a
project's impact on the City's services and infrastructure. Although impact fees are not generally
associated with the Burge annexation, development under the concurrently proposed Chandler
Crossing PZD, will trigger these fees. For the purposes of this analysis, Planning Area 2 and its
clearly established land use entitlement of 340 units represent the only portion of the PZD that
allows for reasonable assumptions when determining impact fees. Accordingly, the following
represent the one-time revenue projected for Planning Area 2 of the Chandler Crossing PZD:
Fire Impact fees $51,000
Police impa--t fees $55,080
Water and Sewer impact fees $445,740 to $626,620 (depending on housing unit
type or anticipated mater size for nonresidential)
Park in -lieu -ees $323,680 to $370,260 (with no parkland dedication)
$0 (with parkland dedication proposed to Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board on January 4, 2021)
Total one-time impact fees $551,820 to $1,102,960

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 16, 2021
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
FROM: Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
DATE: February 12, 2021
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: Anticipated fiscal impact of Burge Annexation and Chandler Crossing
Planned Zoning District
INTRODUCTION:
Between the City Council meetings of January 19, 2021 and February 2, 2021, Councilmember
Turk inquired about the anticipated revenue and costs of an agenda item. Specifically, what is
the anticipated impact to Fayetteville and the Springdale Public School District from annexing
the Burge Irrevocable Trust property at 3435 Zion Road and zoning it and 22.89 acres within the
City under the Chandler Crossing planned zoning district (PZD). This analysis is sometimes
called a "fiscal impact" or a "cost/benefit" analysis. The numbers in the attached spreadsheets
roughly simulate what a fiscal impact model might produce. Fiscal impact models are dependent
not only on the actual numbers but also the underlying assumptions driving the model. Those
assumptions are listed as footnotes on the attached spreadsheets.
BACKGROUND:
The property proposed for development under the Chandler Crossing PZD is largely
undeveloped pasture with a single-family dwelling and agricultural buildings. Development
Services staff consulted across multiple divisions and departments to establish assumptions,
benefits, and costs for the project. Unlike the recent request for fiscal impact analysis on the
Hughmount annexation and rezoning in 2020, the subject property and proposed PZD lack well-
defined development details, including types of proposed housing and potential nonresidential
uses.
The baseline assumptions start by evaluating the proposed land uses within Chandler
Crossing's Planning Areas 1 and 2. Beginning with Planning Area 1, which is largely located
along Crossover Road and proposed to permit nonresidential and multi -family uses, the
Development Vitality Department established a scenario involving retail, restaurant, office, and
multi -family uses. Although not rooted in any known project specifications, these land uses
would all be permitted within Planning Area 1 and represent a conservative estimate of potential
build -out. A wide range of alternative development scenarios could be developed but all would
be subject to assumptions.

Position Opposed
Comments We expect open land to be developed. It needs to be reasonable if we expect good
long-term results. 370 units in such a small area is too dense for the neighborhood
social well being and the health of the ecology. This probably means approximately
518 more dogs in our neighborhood. People are encouraged to pick up their dog
waste but they don't. Just try stepping off of one our trails. You will be up to your
ears in it. It means 600-700 more cars in our neighborhood. The nearby
intersections are already near capacity. 740 more people in our neighborhood. More
police, fire, ambulance services required. It is a bit much for the small amount of
ground available. Twenty years from now; it won't be pretty. Other cities have
worked this strategy and it doesn't work well in the end. 240 units would be much
kinder and gentler to everyone.

4.0 FEMA 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN AND FLOODWAY ISSUES
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps a small section in the
north -central portion of the project area, associated with PER-01, as Zone A. Zone A is a
designation for areas subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event. The
remainder of the project area is mapped as Zone X. Zone X is an area of minimal flood hazard. A
FEMA FiRMette is provided in Appendix C.
5.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
FTN observed nine herbaceous wetland features, totaling approximately 5.8 acres,
that meet the technical definition of wetlands within the project area.
0 None of the wetland features observed within the project areas will likely
be subjected to jurisdiction under Section 404 of the CWA due to a lack of
adjacency to and/or the direct hydrological connection with downstream
WOTUS.
FTN observed one mapped perennial channel (PER-01; locally known as Hilton
Creek) totaling approximately 760 linear feet within the project area, that is
subject to jurisdiction as a WOTUS under Section 404 of the CWA.
FTN observed several non -wetland aquatic features (i.e., two ephemeral channels,
six man-made ditches, four upland swales, and one open water pond feature) that
are not considered WOTUS and therefore not subject to jurisdiction under Section
404 of the CWA.

nature (i.e., flowing only in direct response to rainfall); therefore, these six ditches are not
subject to jurisdiction as WOTUS under Section 404 of the CWA (Figures 3 and 4).
Four upland swales (UPL-01 through UPL-04) were observed within the project area.
These swales appeared to functions as drains which direct rainfall and sheet flow runoff down
gradient through the mounded topography of project area. Due to the lack of ordinary high-water
marks and the presence of upland vegetation, these four upland swales are neither channel or
wetland features and therefore not subject to jurisdiction as WOTUS under Section 404 of the
CWA (Figures 3 and 4).

northward, exiting the project area, and draining into a pond located on a neighboring property.
Field observations determined this channel to be an ephemeral channel (EPH-01) that extends
approximately 708 linear feet within the project area before draining into a pond located on a
neighboring property to the north via a broad area of sheet flow. Due to its classification as an
ephemeral channel, EPH-01 is not subject to jurisdiction as a WOTUS under Section 404 of the
CWA (Figures 3.2, 3.3, 4.2, and 4.3).
The 1994 USGS topographic quadrangle Sonora, AR (7.5-minute series), maps a single
open -water feature i.e., a pond, near the southern project boundary. Field observations identified
this feature a man-made pond (OW-1) totaling approximately 0.36 acres. OW-1 is not adjacent to
a navigable water or a tributary of a navigable water, and is not anticipated to flood during a
typical year; therefore, this open -water feature is not subject to regulation by the USACE as a
WOTUS under Section 404 of the CWA (Figures 3.1 and 4.1).
USGS US Topo Map 2017 Sonora, AR 7.5-minute series quadrangle maps three
freshwater pond features within the project area. Field observations determined two of the
mapped freshwater pond features to be wetlands (i.e., WET-G and WET-H). Field observations
confirmed the third pond to be an open water pond feature (i.e., OW-1).
In addition to the mapped features described above, field observations revealed the
presence of a second ephemeral channel (EPH-02), six man-made ditches (Ditch-01, Ditch-02,
Ditch-03, Ditch-04, Ditch-05, and Ditch-06), and four upland swales (UPL-01, UPL-02, UPL-03,
and UPL-04).
EPH-02 appears to be the remnants of a former channel (which may have drained an
adjacent property located west of AR HWY 265; past development activity associated with this
adjacent property may have altered the hydrology associated with this channel) that now
functions as a drainage channel between WET -A and WET-B. Due to its classification as
ephemeral, EPH-02 is not subject to jurisdiction as a WOTUS under Section 404 of the CWA
(Figures 3.1 and 4.1).
Six man-made ditches (Ditch-01 through Ditch-06) were observed within central portions
of the project as linear channelized features. These man-made ditches may have been constructed
to drain excess standing water in order to improve the quality of pasturelands within the project
area. These'ditches are man-made, likely constructed entirely within uplands, and ephemeral in

complex, mounded, map unit is described as poorly drained, slowly permeable soils found on
level broad uplands.
NRCS lists Samba silt loam and Samba complex, mounded, soil map units as hydric soils
that possess the potential for hydric inclusions. NRCS lists Johnsburg complex, mounded,
Johnsburg silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, Razort loam, Razort silt loam, occasionally flooded,
and Taloka complex, mounded, map units as non-hydric soils that possess the potential for
hydric inclusions. NRCS does not include the remaining map units in the hydric soils list for
Washington County, AR. Therefore, they are classified as non-hydric soils that lack the potential
for hydric inclusions because they lack the components necessary to be considered a hydric soil
or a soil that possesses the potential for hydric inclusions
3.3 Other Waters of the US
The 1994 USGS topographic quadrangle Sonora, AR (7.5-minute series) maps a single
intermittent channel near the northern portion of the project area. However, the USGS US Topo
Map 2017 Sonora, AR 7.5-minute series quadrangle) maps and named perennial channel, locally
known as Hilton Creek, that flows east to west through the northern portion of the project area
(in the location of the 1994 mapped intermittent channel). Field observations confirmed the
classification of Hilton Creek as a perennial channel (PER-01) that extends approximately
760 linear feet within the project area. Due to its classification as a perennial channel and its
hydrological connection to a downstream navigable water, PER-01 is subject to regulation by the
USACE under Section 404 of the CWA (Figures 3.3 and 4.3).
USGS US Topo Map 2017 Sonora, AR 7.5-minute series quadrangle also maps an
unnamed intermittent channel beginning near the central portion of the project area and flows

water, high water table, saturation, oxidized rhizospheres along living roots, crayfish burrows,
saturation visible on aerial imagery, and positive FAC neutral tests. Positive indicators of
wetland hydrology were observed at Sampling Point Nos. S-01, S-03, S-04, S-06, S-08, S-10,
S-12, S-13, S-15, S-16, S-20, and S-21 (Appendix A).
3.2.3 Hydric Soils
The SCS Soil Survey of Washington County, Arkansas (1969) and NRCS Web Soil
Survey 3.3 (2020), illustrate thirteen map units within the project area:
• Captina silt loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes, eroded;
• Enders -Leesburg complex, 8 to 20 percent slopes;
• Hector-Mountainburg gravelly fine sandy loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes;
• Johnsburg complex, mounded;
• Johnsburg silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes;
• Nixa very gravelly silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes;
• Nixa very gravelly silt loam, 8 to 12 percent slopes;
• Razort loam;
• Razort silt loam, occasionally flooded;
• Samba silt loam;
• Samba complex, mounded;
• Savannah fine sandy loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes, eroded; and
• Taloka complex, mounded.
SCS describes the map units as follows. Captina silt loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes, eroded,
map unit is described as moderately well drained, slowly permeable soils found on uplands and
stream terraces. Enders -Leesburg complex, 8 to 20 percent slopes map unit is described as
moderately well drained, very slowly permeable soils found on mountainsides. Hector-
Mountainburg gravelly fine sandy loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes map unit is described as shallow,
excessively drained soils, comprised of equal parts of Hector and Mountainburg soils. Johnsburg
complex, mounded, and Johnsburg silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes map units are described as
poorly drained, slowly permeable soils that possess a fragipan. Nixa very gravelly silt loam, 3 to

3.2.1 Vegetation
The project area consisted of the following two vegetative communities:
Improved upland pasture community and
Herbaceous wetland community.
The improved upland pasture community, observed throughout the majority of the project
area, is dominated by: tall false rye grass (Schedonorus arundinaceus), broom sedge
(Andropogon virginicus), and Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), among other species.
The herbaceous wetland community areas, i.e., WET -A through WET -I, are dominated
by: yellow -fruit sedge (Carex annectens), low spike sedge (Kyhinga pumila), Pennsylvania
smartweed (Persicaria pensylvanica), yellow bristle grass (Setaria pumila), hairy buttercup
(Ranunculus sardous), and broom rosette grass (Dichanthelium scoparium), among other
species.
Positive indicators of hydrophytic vegetation were observed at Sampling Point Nos. S-01.

3.2 Wetlands
Nine herbaceous wetland features, totaling approximately 5.8 acres of technical wetlands,
were observed within the project area. None of the wetland features observed within the project
area are subject to jurisdiction under Section 404 of the CWA due to a lack of adjacency to a
navigable water/tributary of a navigable water or anticipated flooding by a navigable
water/tributary of a navigable water during a typical year. Attachment A provides completed
USACE data forms specific to the sampling point locations. Attachment B provides
representative photos of onsite features. Table 1 provides a summary of findings at the
22 sampling point locations. Table 2 provides a summary of the nine wetland features.

Mountains and Piedmont National Wetland Plant List (2016 with 2018 updates approved in
2020) was used to determine wetland indicator status for the dominant species. Soil pits were
dug with a sharpshooter shovel to a depth of approximately 16 to 18 inches, where possible, and
soil colors were determined with the aid of Munsell color charts. Soil survey data from the Soil
Survey of Washington County, Arkansas (Soil Conservation Service (SCS) 1969) and the
Natural Resources Conservation Service's (MRCS) Web Soil Survey (2020) were used to
determine the SCS map units for the area. Also, the NRCS (Soil Data Access) Washington
County, Arkansas Hydric Soils Map List and Map Units with Hydric Inclusions was used to
assist in the selection of sampling points appearing to have a potential for the occurrence of
hydric soils.
A Juniper Systems Geode sub -meter real time GPS receiver unit paired with a
smartphone using ARCGIS collector was used for marking sampling site locations, channels, and
wetland boundaries.
3.0 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
3.1 General Site Description
The project site is surrounded by residential and commercial development, maintained
pasture areas, and undeveloped forested tracts. The project area itself consists mostly of
improved upland pasture, with areas of herbaceous wetland communities. The topography of the
project area slopes ;enerally in a northern direction and includes wetland depressions and
distinct mounded formations. Within the project area, three ponds, two intermittent channels, and
a perennial channel are mapped on the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). One pond and one intermittent channel are mapped within
the project area on .he 1994 USGS topographic quadrangle Sonora, AR (7.5-minute series)
(Figure 3). During the time of delineation, one pond, two ephemeral channels, one perennial
channel, six man-made ditches, four upland swales, and nine wetland areas were observed within
the project area. Section 3.2 below provides information regarding the onsite wetlands; Section
3.3 below provides information regarding the ponds and channels within the project area.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Engineering Services Inc. (ESI) (the Client) contracted with FTN Associates, Ltd. (FTN)
of Fayetteville, Arkansas, to delineate Section 404 wetlands and other waters of the US
(WOTUS) within the proposed project area of approximately 82 acres, located in Fayetteville,
Washington County, Arkansas. The project area is located east of the intersection of North
Crossover Road (AR-265) and East Zion Road in Fayetteville, Washington, Arkansas. The area
of the delineation is mapped on US Geologic Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangle Sonora,
AR (7.5-minute series) (Figure 2). Legal description of the project area is part of Section 19,
Township 17 North, Range 29 West. Approximate central coordinates of the project area are
36.129150N, - 94.11124°W (NAD 83). The project area is located in the Illinois watershed
(Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] 11110103), a watershed of approximately 1,700 mil, within the
states of Arkansas and Oklahoma (Figure 1).
2.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS
FTN conducted a Level 3, routine wetland delineation as described in the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental
Laboratory 1987). Field investigations for the delineation were conducted on
January 26 and 27, 2021. FTN evaluated the area of the delineation for potential Section 404
jurisdictional areas, i.e., wetlands and WOTUS, and complied with the USACE 1987 Manual
and Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern
Mountains and Piedmont Region Version 2.0 (Engineer Research and Development Center
2012).
Sampling point locations were selected to evaluate those low-lying areas and other areas
appearing to have at least some potential for USACE regulation under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA). Twenty-two sampling point locations were established, and data was
collected on vegetation, hydrology, and soils at the locations (Figures 3 and 4).
Edwin B. Smith's Keys to the Flora of Arkansas (1994) was used to confirm certain plant
identifications and the USACE Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory's Eastern

At each significant step in the hydrologic and hydraulic modeling process, the
information was compared to data previously developed, whether it was from existing
topographic data or from previous study information (i.e., 1996 hydrologic and hydraulic
assessment of Lake Fayetteville). It was noted that there were some differences in information;
however, most of this difference was attributed to updates in data sources (i.e., newer
topographic data, land use information, precipitation data) with one exception. The lone
exception was the computed Time of Concentration (Tc) for the Project area. Table 6.5. Time of
Concentration Comparison provides a tabular comparison of differences between the watershed
computed T, and resulting Lag time (TLAG).

T, represents the time it takes for runoff to travel from the hydraulically most distant
point within the watershed to the outlet. This parameter depends on the slope, flow path, and
other characteristics of the watershed. Therefore, a longer T, will typically provide a reduction in
discharge as the runoff takes longer to move downstream. While this new analysis uses more
subbasins and a more detailed breakdown of parameters to determine the T,, review of both
analyses shows that the methodology used is the same. However, one key difference that was
noted between the two analyses is the estimated velocity used in the 1996 analysis for the
downstream subbasin versus the current analysis. This subbasin should be predominately the
lake and flatter stream segments. In the 1996 analysis, the estimated velocity was almost 5 ft/s,
which when compared to the new analysis' average velocities of 2.7 to 3.2 ft/s it is significantly
different. This difference in velocity leads to a significant difference for the computed Tc as
indicated in Table 6.5.

remaining energy and high amounts of moisture often continue inland for long distances and
influence weather patterns for hundreds of miles. Additionally, when the tropical systems move
inland, they often lose speed, which causes them to drop large amounts of rainfall over longer
periods of time. Therefore, this is the reason why the Tropical 24-hr PMP scenario is being
recommended for consideration in evaluating the Lake Fayetteville Dam and spillway during
future design improvements.
Currently, the Lake Fayetteville Dam has a spillway crest at El 1237.5 ft and has an
effective top of dam at approximately El 1,249.0 ft (NAVD 88), which was obtained from survey
and LiDAR data. Using the Tropical 24-hr Future Condition PMP scenario, the spillway passes a
maximum discharge of approximately 24,000 cfs. However, approximately 4,025 cfs still
overtops the dam as the lake's peak water surface elevation is calculated to be El 1251.1 ft
(NAVD 88), which indicates the dam is overtopped by approximately 1.0 ft. Since the dam can
safely pass approximately 19,500 cfs without significant overtopping, this shows that the
spillway would pass approximately 70% of a PMF event rather than the current 50% that is listed
in the State's records.
In order to meet the State's regulations, the dam or spillway will need to be improved.
While it is outside the scope of work for this Phase to determine detailed options, a number of
options that may be considered for the next phase to bring the dam into compliance are as
follows:
• Increasing dam height to consistent elevation,
• Increasing length of spillway crest,
• Lowering lake level (permanently or temporarily) to increase storage capacity,
and
• Any combination of the suggestions above.
Approximate information for use in planning shows that in using the standard weir
equation, the dam would need to be raised to a uniform elevation of approximately El 1254.0 ft
(NAVD 88); have the length of the spillway crest increased by approximately 250 ft; or use other
methods or combination of methods to meet requirements. No scenarios were performed to
determine the impacts of lowering the lake level, as it was outside the scope of work for this
M.
December 11, 2020
Because the Lake Fayetteville Dam is classified as an intermediate sized, high hazard
dam, it is required to have a spillway that can pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) event
without overtopping the dam. With the ultimate goal for this analysis being to determine the
discharges through the spillway and if any of the modeled events overtop the dam, numerous
scenarios were developed using storm events ranging from the 50% annual -chance (2-yr) flood
event to large PMP storm scenarios using the 2019 PMP Study. Based on the hydrologic and
hydraulic analyses performed, the largest discharge, excluding the superseded HMR-52 results,
that was produced is from the 24-hr Tropical PMP scenario, with the 24-hr Local PMP scenario
producing the next largest amount of runoff. The results using the HMR-52 method, while
having the largest total precipitation and producing the largest overall amount of runoff, was not
considered in this analysis as it has been superseded by the 2019 PMP Study. Therefore, it has
been provided strictly for informational purposes.
While Table 4.4 shows other storm events that have larger rainfall totals than the 24-hr
Tropical and Local scenarios, those storms are also for a longer duration event, which allows the
watershed to spread out the rainfall. By spreading out this rainfall event over a longer timeframe,
the impacts to lake and spillway are reduced.
Based on the computed water surface elevations, the dam is shown to be overtopped for
the Existing and Future Condition Local 24-hr, Existing and Future Condition General 24-hr, and
Existing and Future Condition Tropical 24-hr PMP scenarios, while the remaining storm events
were successfully passed through the spillway without overtopping the dam. The 24-hr Tropical
scenarios (existing and future conditions) were found to be the largest and worst -case scenario
for the Lake Fayetteville Dam. While the chances of the Lake Fayetteville watershed
experiencing a tropical event is statistically rare, there is still a possibility. After guidance from
the State's Dam Safety Division, it was confirmed that the most conservative storm produced by
the 2019 PMP Study, which produces the most strenuous event for the reservoir, should be used,
regardless of location. Therefore, for this analysis, it is recommended that the 24-hr Tropical
storm scenario be chosen for the ultimate analysis.
Per the 2019 PMP Study, the Tropical Storm can be classified as rainfall resulting
directly from a tropical system. While they are frequent in the warm coastal waters, the

6.0 RESULTS
As part of the hydrologic and hydraulic assessment, multiple scenarios were analyzed to
determine the current existing conditions for the Lake Fayetteville watershed, because the
previous analysis was performed in 1996 and significant development has occurred within the
watershed since that time. Additionally, future condition scenarios were developed utilizing the
2040 Master Plan land use data for the City of Fayetteville and other available future land use
data sets for adjacent communities to examine the impacts that future land use may have on the
discharges from the watershed. Tables 6.1 and 6.2 provide tabular breakdowns of the existing
and future conditions summary of discharges for the Lake Fayetteville watershed determined at
various locations along Clear Creek and Hylton Branch.
Based on review of the summary of discharge data, the increase in land use has a larger
impact with respect to increasing discharge for the smaller precipitation events. By performing a
simple average calculation for each flow change location based on the discharge event, the future
land use provides increases of 24-, 17-, 14-, 12-, 10-, and 7%, respectively for the 50-, 10-, 4-, 2-,
1-, and 0.2% annual -chance event storms. It is noted that this increase also is decreasing as the
storm event is becoming larger, and by the time the various PMP events are reached, the increase
in discharge resulting from land use changes is approximately 1 % for all PMP storms. This is
because of the larger events contributing more rainfall compared to the amount of initial
abstractions, which ultimately outweighs any impacts that the land use change makes in the
watershed.

5.2 Model Runs
To set up the 2-D model, an initial run was created which allowed inflows from Clear
Creek and Hylton Branch to fill the Lake up to its normal pool elevation. Once the lake level
reached an elevation approximately equal to the normal pool elevation, the inflows from Clear
Creek and Hylton Branch were stopped, and the model was allowed to run to create steady state
conditions, and a "snapshot" of the water surface elevations and velocities everywhere within the
model domain was made, which is referred to as a "hot start" file that provides a stable condition
for the various inflow scenarios to be applied to moving forward. Therefore, it is the base
scenario from which all remaining model scenarios start.
To simulate the remaining scenarios, additional model runs were developed as needed to
complete the hydraulic analysis. Table 5.2 is a summary of the scenarios evaluated for the Lake
Fayetteville Dam.

5.1.2 Hydraulic Parameters
For the hydraulic model, Manning's "n" values (roughness coefficients) were developed
based on National Land Cover Database (NLCD) land use type, aerial imagery, field survey and
reconnaissance photos, and/or engineering judgment. Table 5.1 Manning's "n" Roughness
Coefficients is a tabular summary of the roughness coefficients used in the hydraulic model.

5.1.3 Boundary Conditions
To account for flows coming into and going out of the model, two types of boundary
conditions were utilized in the modeling for this analysis. The first boundary condition used is
normal depth slope. This type of boundary condition is applied to the downstream end of the 2-D
model, which is located downstream of U.S. Highway 71B. This boundary condition applies a
slope, which is calculated from the average slope of the terrain located downstream of the
boundary, across the downstream edge of the modeling mesh. The second type of boundary
condition used is a flow hydrograph. This type of boundary condition is used to represent the
runoff entering the lake through streamflow, overland flow, or other drainage from the
12 separate subbasins. Two of these subbasins include the drainage areas of Clear Creek and
Hylton Branch. Additionally, one of the subbasins also accounts for direct rainfall onto Lake
Fayetteville. All hydrologic data was linked to the hydraulic model directly as flow hydrograph
curves taken from the HEC-HMS model output files.

section (i.e., that are averaged in the left and right overbanks and the channel). Based on
engineering judgment and study goals, breaklines were defined along roads, dams, culverts and
other significant features identified on the topography and aerial imagery. Further details of the
model development are discussed in the sections below.
5.1.1 Structures
There are three primary structures in the immediate study area: Lake Fayetteville Dam,
the existing spillway, and a trail bridge located approximately 80 feet downstream of the
spillway structure. The Lake Fayetteville Dam and the existing spillway structure were
represented by 2-D Area Connections in the hydraulic modeling, which utilized survey and
LiDAR data. For the Lake Fayetteville Dam, approximately 300 feet of the southern end was
resurveyed for this study. The remaining portion of the dam was represented by the high -
resolution LiDAR data collected by FEMA in 2015, since comparison of the elevations to that of
the 1996 study revealed a general agreement in elevations. The spillway was based on current
survey data for all 2-D Area Connections modeled.
HEC-RAS is currently unable to model bridges in the 2-D version. However, as it was
unclear if the water surface elevations would actually rise to the low chord of the trail bridge
crossing, the initial models were run without the bridge in the geometry. After initial runs
revealed that the low chord of the bridge crossing would not be impacted, the existing bridge
piers were added to the topographic data to represent the constrictions they create. Since the trail
bridge is constructed with a unique pier dimensions and shapes, these features cannot be
modeled in HEC-RAS exactly as they are constructed. Therefore, the pier sizes that have been
added into the topographic data were adapted from the design drawings of the Lake Fayetteville
spillway bridge, as prepared by Carter -Burgess for the City in 2004. Note that the bridge deck
and railing have not been included in the model because of the limitations of HEC-RAS and
since the elevations for both were determined to be higher than all water surface elevations
computed.

5.0 HYDRAULIC MODELING
5.1 HEC-RAS Model Development
For this study, a two-dimensional (2-D) model was developed using the USACE's
HEC-RAS software (Version 5.0.7) to model both the existing and future condition scenarios.
During scope development, the primary objective was to determine the existing condition
discharges passing through the spillway of the dam. However, there were additional discussions
about assessing potential impacts to downstream areas that may result from potential dam and
spillway modifications. As a result, it was determined that while a one-dimensional (1-D)
unsteady flow model could be used for the current analysis, a two-dimensional (2-D) model
would provide more ancillary benefits to the City. This could be useful during subsequent phases
of the project with respect to evaluating potential modifications. Therefore, the decision was
made to use a 2-D model to capture the additional complexity (e.g., lateral variations in velocity,
formation of eddies) in the system.
While 1-D HEC-RAS can be used as an unsteady flow model, it cannot model the spread
of flow (i.e., flow in both the longitudinal and lateral directions) because it uses a series of cross
sections to represent the terrain surface and roughness characteristics, and it is assumed that
velocities only vary in the longitudinal direction. Between these cross sections, the 1-D model
interpolates based on the available cross section data to perform its calculations for the area of
interest. Dependent on the number of cross sections and the detail provided, the limitations of the
I -D model could lead to incorrect computations at the downstream, or tailwater, side of the
spillway, which could impact computed spillway discharges.
With a 2-D hydraulic model, the system is modeled using a computational mesh rather
than a series of cross sections along the longitudinal axis of the stream reach. The mesh consists
of computational cells that have elevation ground profiles and roughness values along the cell
faces that represent the topographic surface and frictional characteristics of the area and
volumetric relationships for the cell area. The use of the 2-D model allows for more detailed
resolution in water surface elevations, velocities, and flow patterns than is possible with a 1-D
model that is only capable of computing average values for three general regions at each cross

In addition to performing rainfall -runoff simulations for the 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, and 0.2%
annual -chance (10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year) flood events, the 50% annual -chance (2-year)
flood event and the three Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) rainfall events were also
added. The 50% annual -chance event uses values obtained from NOAA's Atlas 14. The PMP
rainfall values were obtained from Hydrometeorological Report Number 51 (HMR 51) and the
2019 Regional Probable Maximum Precipitation Study for Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Mississippi (herein referred to as the "2019 PMP Study").
Within the 2019 PMP Study, there are three different storm types that can be evaluated.
These storm types are: Local, General, and Tropical.
Local: storm events that consist of local thunderstorms/Mesoscale Convective
Systems (MCS) where the main rainfall occurs over short durations (up to 24
hours) and cover a small area (less than 100 mil) and are most active from mid -
spring through the early fall.
General: storm events associated with areas of low pressure moving across the
region from the west and meeting moisture from the Gulf of Mexico; occur in the
fall and spring months; and are representative of where the main rainfall occurs
over larger areas and cover longer durations of time.
Tropical: storm events, which occur less frequently, are influenced by a tropical
system or remnants of tropical moisture; occur from June through October; and
have accumulation characteristics similar to the general storm type.
With multiple events available from the 2019 PMP study and based on guidance from
ANRD, it is recommended that the most conservative scenario be used when looking at the
performance of the Lake Fayetteville spillway and potential future modifications. Therefore, for
this PMP analysis, a sensitivity analysis was performed using the three storm events described
above to determine which model scenario would produce the most runoff within the watershed.
While Lake Fayetteville is located in Northwest Arkansas, the Tropical scenario has been
included as there could be the possibility for tropical moisture to impact the area (i.e., the from
the remnants of a hurricane that has moved inland). Additionally, for a 24-hr period, the Local
and Tropical precipitation values are very similar. The sensitivity analysis looked at various
combinations of distributed rainfall scenarios using the State's new PMP Calculation Tool. This

Another objective of the hydrologic analysis was to examine the impact that future
development within the watershed may have on the spillway and resultant discharges.
Consequently, a future conditions scenario was performed for the entire watershed. This scenario
was completed by recomputing the Curve Number for each subbasin using the existing NRCS
SSURGO data and the future land use data for the Cities of Fayetteville and Springdale, and the
unincorporated areas of Washington County. For the City of Fayetteville, this consisted of
utilizing the 2040 Master Plan land use geospatial data, while for the City of Springdale and
Washington County, the best available geospatial master plan data was incorporated. This
information was then reviewed and assigned a Curve Number based on the land use and HSG
shown in Table 4.1. Additionally, for this study, antecedent moisture condition Type II (average
moisture condition) was assumed for all analyses performed. If conflicts were found between the
varying data sources, the classification based on the land areas current incorporation status for
that particular location was chosen.
The projected land use characteristics for the entire study area are displayed on
Figure 4.4. Future Conditions Land Use Map. Table 4.2 Subbasin hydrologic parameter

Using the 2011 NLCD as the initial starting point, the land use data was modified using
publicly available imagery from various sources, with the exception of the portion of the
watershed in the Arkansas CTP study area. As the Arkansas CTP study was recently completed,
that information was taken as is with no changes being made. For the remaining areas of the
watershed, the aerial imagery used to validate land use patterns types consisted of Microsoft's
Bing and Google Aerial Imagery (dates vary), 2017 State of Arkansas Imagery, 2019 - 2020 City
of Fayetteville imagery, and 2019-2020 City of Springdale imagery.

For the SCS Curve Number method, FTN obtained NRCS SSURGO data from the NRCS
Geospatial Data Gateway, which from the available documentation on the Arkansas CTP study
was consistent with the source data used on that project. As part of the soil characteristics, these
soils have been grouped based on their Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG), which determines the
ability of the soils to drain when saturated. The Lake Fayetteville Watershed consists of six
classifications, which are A, B, B/D, C, C/D, and D. in the dual groups, the first letter is for
drained areas while the second is for undrained areas. Additionally, for areas where dual groups
were present, the more conservative group was used, as this was the approach taken in the
Arkansas CTP study. Therefore, the predominant soil classifications in the watershed for this
analysis are HSG C and D. Table 4.1 Land Use Types and Curve Numbers is a breakdown of the
different land use types used for the study that can be linked to the Technical Release Number 55
(TR-55) runoff Curve Numbers and includes a summary of the applicable Curve Numbers. The
soil characteristics for the entire study area are displayed on Figure 4.2. Hydrologic Soil Group

4.2 Updated Analysis
The lake watershed covers three different jurisdictions - Washington County and the
cities of Springdale and Fayetteville. Each jurisdiction has its own prescribed methodology for
hydrologic analysis, which may vary. Since approximately 6.9 mi2 of the Lake Fayetteville
Watershed was covered by the Arkansas CTP study, which falls within the City of Springdale
and this new analysis utilizes much of that data and the methodologies established during that
study, the decision was made to remain as consistent as possible with the existing data developed
by the Arkansas CTP study. While this hydrologic analysis is being used to resize the Lake
Fayetteville spillway, there are some slight variations from the City of Fayetteville 2014
Drainage Criteria Manual. After review, the variations from the 2014 Drainage Criteria Manual
are considered to be minor as the differences are typically focused on parameter inputs;
therefore, this information may be used for future analyses downstream, as long as one is
cognizant of the differences in hydrologic methods used. The following paragraphs discuss the
various modifications that were made as part of the new hydrologic analysis.
With the Arkansas CTP study as the base information, FTN used ESRI's ArcGIS
(Version 10.5.1) software and tools to delineate the remaining watershed area down to the
Lake Fayetteville spillway. The additional area was broken down based on a combination of
factors, including drainage area, roadway crossings, and confluences with tributaries.
Additionally, subbasins along the along the perimeter of Lake Fayetteville were further refined
along with the lake itself being treated as its own subbasin in order to allow the contribution
from direct precipitation onto the lake. All topographic data used for the new study is a
combination of the 2015 Washington County LiDAR, available bathymetry data, and survey
information where available. Figure 4.1 is a map showing various hydrologic features for the
entire Project area.

database for Washington County, with an Antecedent Moisture Condition Type II (average
moisture condition) assumed. The soils data, land use information, and subbasins were then
combined together in ArcGIS 10.4.1 to develop an area -weighted Curve Number for each
subbasin.
Time of Concentration (Tc), calculated using the NRCS TR-55 method, was determined
for each subbasin. Tc is defined as the time needed for water to flow from the hydraulically most
remote point in a watershed to the watershed outlet. It is a function of the topography and land
use within the watershed. The TR-55 method computes Tc assuming that water moves through a
watershed as sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, open channel flow, or some combination of
the three. The open channel characteristics, as referenced in the Tc calculations, were based on
channel section data derived from the LiDAR topography. The Manning's "n" values used in the
T, calculations were based on aerial photography and engineering judgment. Upon calculating
the Tc for each subbasin, the lag time (TLag) was calculated as 0.6*T,. This relationship between
TLag and Tc was given in the HEC-HMS Technical Reference Manual (2000) as the relationship
suggested by the SCS (now the NRCS). This lag time (in minutes) was the input required for the
transform method in HEC-HMS.
The routing method used for the Arkansas CTP study reaches was the Modified Puls
method. This routing method was selected because of the drainage area's overbank conveyance.
ArcGIS® and HEC-RAS were used to create a basic hydraulic model with cross sections
extracted from the topographic data. The resulting storage output from the HEC-RAS model was
compiled to extract the cumulative volume (storage) for each reach and entered into the HEC-
HMS model as that reach's storage -discharge curve.
For precipitation inputs, the 50-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1- and 0.2-percent frequency storm totals for
the 24-hour event were obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
(NOAA) Atlas 14 website. No baseflow was used in the hydrologic model. While FTN does note
that there are springs present around the dam, FTN is not aware of any information available
indicating the presence of large springs located in the headwaters of the watershed that would
significantly impact the computed discharges of the contributing streams.

December 11, 2020
4.0 HYDROLOGIC MODELING
In order to assess the dam's ability to meet current hydrologic criteria based on its'
hazard classification, a new hydrologic analysis was performed to determine the runoff potential
of the contributing watershed. The new hydrologic analysis included the use of the recent Clear
Creek hydrologic analysis that was completed by the Arkansas CTP for FEMA's ongoing
Washington County Flood Insurance Study (FIS) revision, use of updated LiDAR data, updated
land -use data from varying sources, and updated precipitation data. The information used in the
analysis was processed using ESRI's ArcGIS® software and supporting extensions and toolsets.
Based on the topography and data processing, the watershed delineation for the Lake Fayetteville
Dam was calculated to be approximately 5,933 acres (9.27 mi2) using LiDAR, which compares
reasonably well to the 1996 study's published value of 6,336 acres (9.9 sq mi), considering the
differences in data resolution between the older USGS Topographic Quad maps used in the 1996
hydraulic evaluation and the 2015 high resolution LiDAR data being used today.
4.1 Base Model
By using the recently completed Clear Creek hydrologic analysis, this current study was
able to build from a recently developed hydrologic model that contributed approximately
6.9 mi2. This existing model used the USACE HEC-HMS (version 4.1) program to perform
rainfall -runoff simulations for the 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, and 0.2% annual -chance (10-, 25-, 50-, 100-,
and 500-year) flood events.
The existing AR CTP study started approximately 1,000 feet downstream of Crossover
Road (State Highway 265), near the upstream end of Lake Fayetteville, and it divided the
watershed into 18 subbasins. The NRCS Unit Hydrograph Method was used with runoff Curve
Numbers for calculating runoff for the area. The Curve Number is a runoff coefficient that is
based on the hydrologic soil group, land use, and hydrologic condition of an area. The
hydrologic soil group information was taken from the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO)

Additionally, ANRD had recently completed modeling for an upstream reach of Clear
Creek as part of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Washington County FIS
update starting at State Highway 265 (Crossover Road) as part of its Cooperating Technical
Partnership (CTP) with FEMA (herein referred to as the "Arkansas CTP" study). Therefore, to
supplement the Clear Creek portion of the watershed upstream of the Lake, FTN used the
existing topographic data developed as part of the Arkansas CTP study to reduce the data
gathering effort. For the remaining areas of the watershed around Lake Fayetteville and for the
Hylton Branch drainage area, the 2015 Washington County LiDAR data was used, which was
the same source data as the Arkansas CTP study information. This data was obtained in the form
of 1-meter bare earth digital elevation model (DEM) tiles. These individual tiles were developed
through a partnership between FEMA and the NRCS. According to the metadata obtained for
this data, the vertical accuracy of the data is listed at +/- 9.25 centimeters or better and supports
the development of 1-foot contours. The LiDAR was flown when the lake water surface
elevation was at normal pool elevation of 1237.5 ft, NAVD 88.
Since bathymetric data was collected for a small portion of the lake, FTN elected to
incorporate historic bathymetry data collected at various times for the remaining parts of the
lake. The information incorporated was taken from a 1950 NRCS Sedimentation Survey and a
1983 University of Arkansas Civil Engineering Department Hydrographic Map. While FTN
understands that this bathymetry data is old, most of the tie-in locations between the different
sources did not yield large differences; therefore, the information was incorporated as best
available data. Additionally, this data was used to provide a better understanding of the travel
time and storage potential of the lake and how it plays a role in potential spillway modifications.

December 11, 2020
3.0 TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
To complete the detailed hydraulic modeling necessary to determine the existing spillway
discharge capacity, FTN used a combination of three sources for the Project area. The first
source was a new hydrographic and topographic survey conducted for a portion of the existing
dam, approach channel, exit channel, and spillway structure that was performed by FTN's
surveying subconsultant, B&F Engineering, Inc. (B&F); the second source was 2015 Light
Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data collected for Washington County through a
partnership between the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the United States
Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS); and the third
source was historic bathymetry surveys for various portions of the lake conducted in 1950 and
1985. For this Project, all topographic data was converted to or collected in the horizontal
coordinate system of NAD 83, Arkansas State Plane North Zone, US survey foot with a vertical
coordinate system ofNAVD 88 (vertical). Please see Appendix C. Topographic Data for
additional details on the information used.
The bathymetric and topographic survey conducted by B&F for this study was performed
in November and December 2019. The survey extent was limited to an area of approximately
10.5 acres, which primarily focused on the approach and exit channels, the spillway structure,
approximately 220 feet of the dam embankment, including the upstream and downstream faces,
and lake bathymetry in the approximate location of the old Clear Creek channel up to the inlet of
the approach channel. Bathymetry information was also collected in a small area of the lake and
the approach channel. Once the survey was completed, it was reviewed by FTN with comments
being addressed by the surveyor. Once the review was complete, the survey data was used to
develop a detailed terrain surface that could support 1-foot contour generation. In addition to the
surface information produced, B&F also set four survey control points within the survey extents
so that they can be used for future construction control, if needed. Each construction control
point was set using a 5/8-inch rebar with aluminum cap on top. These four points are listed
below in Table 3.1. Survey Control Points.

• Loss of human life is based upon presence of habitable structures.
• Hazard classification does not indicate the physical condition of the dam.
Based on Tables 2.1 and 2.2, the Lake Fayetteville Dam is classified as an intermediate
sized dam, and because of the large amount of public and commercial developments that would
be subject to potential economic loss resulting from a dam breach located immediately
downstream, the dam's hazard classification is classified as a high hazard dam. Based on these
two criteria and Table 2.3, the Lake Fayetteville Dam is required to have a spillway that can pass
the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). This is in agreement with the State of Arkansas's Dam
Safety Division current rating for the dam, as well as ratings determined in previous analyses.

December 11, 2020
Since the 1974 spillway modification, the Lake Fayetteville Dam and spillway have
largely remained unchanged. The main alterations that have been made to the dam, outside of
routine maintenance activities (i.e., mowing, etc.), have been the addition of a paved walking
trail to the top of the dam, a trail bridge crossing immediately downstream of the spillway, the
removal of large diameter trees that had started growing on the upstream face of the dam, the
addition of riprap material to the upstream face to address minor erosion concerns, and the
installation of toe drains to address increased seepage along the downstream face of the dam.
Many of these items have been noted and corrected as found during dam safety inspections to
continue to keep the dam functioning as intended.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Inventory of Dams (NID) lists the
Lake Fayetteville Dam height as 49 feet with a maximum storage of 6,566 acre-feet. However,
using the information gathered as part of this study, the height of the dam was measured to be
approximately 46.1 feet. Also, based on the updated terrain data, the dam provides a maximum
storage of approximately 4,570 acre-feet, at an El 1,439.0 ft (NAVD 88).
Because the Lake Fayetteville Dam is greater than 25 feet in height and has a storage
capacity greater than 50 acre-feet, it is required to be permitted under the State of Arkansas's
Dam Safety Program. Dams under 25 feet in height (as defined by ANRD), irrespective of
storage volume are not automatically required to be permitted. Per Title 7, a dam's required
spillway capacity is determined based on two criteria. These criteria are size and hazard
potential. A dam's size classification is based on the more stringent of either the height of the
dam or the maximum storage of the reservoir, while the hazard potential of a dam is determined
based on the more stringent of either the potential for loss of human life or economic loss.
Tables 2.1 and 2.2 from Title 7 are reproduced below. Note that there is a typographical error
(corrected herein) in the actual Table 2.1 as published by ANRD that indicates that small dams
range in height from 24 to 40 feet. The text within the applicable subtitles of Title 7 clearly state
that 25 feet is the regulatory height.

For the concrete spillway, the drawings show an ogee shaped spillway to be constructed
with the crest at stated El 1248.0 ft (NGVD 29), to be located at the southern end of the dam.
This spillway is connected to the lake through an approximately 1,050 feet long approach
channel that is narrow and shallow. Per the design drawings, this spillway had a crest length of
175 feet, variable apron and spillway widths that depended on depths to rock encountered in the
field, and vertical side walls ranging from 8 to 10 feet above the floor of the spillway.
Upon review of the original design drawings, it was noted that the elevations indicated a
consistent top of dam at El 1,258.0 ft (NGVD 29), and a normal pool at El 1,248.0 feet
(NGVD 29). Both of these listed elevations are approximately ten feet higher than that of the
field survey data gathered as part of this project, indicating that the dam was apparently not
constructed based on its original design. This elevation difference was also previously observed
in the 1996 hydraulic analysis that was perfonned.
2.2 Dam Modifications
In 1974, the City retained McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc. (MCE) to repair a
cavity that had begun to form under the existing spillway and to remove existing growth in and
around the spillway. This repair work consisted of excavation and removal of displaced rock and
debris, removal of trees and other objects impacting the flow of water in the approach channel,
and the construction of a new spillway within the footprint of the existing spillway. During this
project, the spillway section was converted from an ogee spillway to a straight drop or free
overfall spillway with a crest length of 130 ft. Because the original ogee spillway had a total
crest length of 170 ft, the remaining crest length, approximately 10 to 15 feet on each side,
continued to function as an ogee spillway. The modified spillway crest elevation was adjusted to
El 1237.5 ft (NGVD 29), which is 0.5 feet lower than the original spillway crest of El 1238.0 ft
(NGVD 29). In addition to the change to the spillway crest elevation, vertical training walls were
added to the spillway to transition between the new and old spillway. These training walls are
approximately 1.5 to 2 ft tall and approximately 3.5 ft wide and project above the weir crest.
Refer to Appendix B for the NICE drawings related to these modifications.

2.0 LAKE FAYETTEVILLE DAM INFORMATION
2.1 Original Dam Design
The Lake Fayetteville Dam is an earthen dam located on Clear Creek in northern
Fayetteville, approximately 0.5 miles east of the City of Johnson's corporate limit. It has a
drainage area of approximately 9.3 mi2, per this analysis. It was completed in 1949 and was
originally called the Clear Creek Dam. The dam was designed by Max A. Mehlburger, PE, of
Little Rock, Arkansas, and W.R. Holway & Associates of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to create a lake to
serve as a water supply for the City, which it did until the creation of the Beaver Water District
in 1957. Since that time, Lake Fayetteville has provided the citizens of Fayetteville and the
surrounding areas with a source for various recreational activities due to its fishing and trail
amenities.
The original dam design consisted of a 1,733 feet long earthen embankment with a crown
width of 20 feet at a stated crest elevation of 1,258.0 ft (NGVD 29). The typical section side
slopes for the upstream earthen embankment consisted of a riprap covered embankment (from
stated El 1,233.0 to the crest) at a slope of 3H:IV, while the downstream slope was designed
with a vegetative cover and a 2.5H:1 V slope, although the center section of the dam was also
designed to have berms (10 ft wide on the upstream face, 20 ft wide on the downstream face)
added at approximately the mid -height of the dam. Appendix A contains the original dam design
drawings. In addition to the main embankment, the original project also consisted of a concrete
water intake tower and a concrete spillway.
The intake tower was to not only serve as a water intake for the City's water supply but
also as a means to drawdown the lake. According to the design drawings, the intake structure had
an invert at stated El 1201.25 ft (NGVD 29), which was connected to a 48-inch diameter
concrete conduit that led to the downstream outfall, where it was reduced to a 16-inch valved
outfall and a 16-inch water supply line. Because the lake is no longer used as a water supply
lake, the water supply line is no longer in use. The intake structure was designed to have three
intakes, which allowed for withdrawing water from different levels of the lake for water supply.
These levels were at stated El 1218.0, 1228.0, and 1238.0 ft (NGVD 29), respectively.

performing a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for future conditions of the Lake Fayetteville
watershed.
The second phase will consist of a dam and spillway improvement feasibility analysis
and conceptual design, which may include a geotechnical investigation, dam and/or spillway
modification analyses, a feasibility study report and conceptual level design of potential
improvements.
The third phase would consist of designing the selected improvements to achieve
compliance with Title 7.
A specific scope of work and budget for Phase 2 will be developed after approval of the
Phase 1 Study.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Lake Fayetteville was formed in 1949 when the City of Fayetteville (the City) completed
construction of the Lake Fayetteville Dam (the dam); thus, creating the reservoir to serve as the
City's water supply until the development of the Beaver Water District in 1957. Since that time,
the lake has provided a source of recreation for the citizens of Fayetteville and the surrounding
areas.
In October 2018, the Arkansas Department of Agriculture's, Natural Resources Division
(ANRD), formerly the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (ANRC) and the agency in
charge of regulating dam safety in Arkansas, performed its annual inspection of the dam. In
terms of their size and potential hazard, dams are classified based on Tables 2.1 and 2.2 of
ANRD's Title 7 - Rules Governing Design and Operation of Dams (Title 7). Based on these tables,
the dam is classified as a high hazard dam of intermediate size. Additionally, because of this
classification, the spillway must be capable of safely passing the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF).
As documented by an ANRD letter to the City dated October It, 2018, ANRD records indicated that
the spillway could only handle 50% of the PMF event. The ANRD letter noted that the dam, based
on the relevant classification criteria, should be sized to pass the full PMF event.
As a result of this information, the City retained FTN Associates, Ltd. (FTN) to evaluate
various options for the possible modification of the Lake Fayetteville spillway. During the
development of the Project scope, FTN reviewed the available information and suggested that a
phased approach be considered, with subsequent phases structured in a manner that will provide
the City with an opportunity to examine the results of the previous phase prior to choosing an
alternative. This approach should allow the City to develop an orderly and cost-effective solution
to modifying the dam and/or spillway, if required. The objective of this first phase was to
determine the current inflows to the lake that the watershed is producing and then determining
the current discharges capable of being released through the spillway without overtopping the
dam. This phase also included performing an updated topographic survey for a portion of the
darn embankment, the entire approach channel, exit channel, and spillway structure, and

■ A comprehensive masterplan for a portion of Clear Creek should be developed to
address the priority sites in a way to leads to a holistic restoration effort. Many of
the streambank priorities cannot be restored as a single site and upstream and
downstream conditions must be considered to restore the most affected reaches of
Clear Creek to morphological stability. The comprehensive masterplan should begin
upstream of Arkansas Highway 112 and continue for approximately 2 miles
downstream as shown in Figure 6-7. This area has been greatly affected by changes
in the peak discharge and frequency of large run-off events associated with increased
impervious surfaces in the upstream portions of the watershed. By developing a plan
and addressing this section of Clear Creek, 16,500 ton/yr and 5,600 Ib/yr of Total
Phosphorus loading from streambank erosion could be eliminated.
■ Streambank CC356 is the largest contributor of sediment from streambank erosion in
the Clear Creek Watershed. It appears that this site could be addressed without
having to significantly expand the scope of restoration upstream and downstream of
the affected site. This site should be a priority for streambank restoration.
■ The NRCS, IRWP, and University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service can use
the data for priority sites for restoration of other areas that can be addressed as an
individual streambank site.
■ The NRCS should consider putting the streambank erosion data and information from
this study into a GIS based program that can be accessed by staff when evaluating
EQIP and other program applications for BMP implementation.
■ Conservation of Natural Features
o Several natural features of interest were identified using GIS methods and are shown in
Appendix 6. The majority of these features are associated with floodplain hydrology and
morphology. The entire floodplain of the lower Clear Creek watershed should be protected
from encroachment and development as the ecological services provided by the floodplain
are immeasurable. Protection of the floodplain could come in the form of farmland
conservation through donated and purchased protective easements.
o The NRCS should consider putting the natural features data and information from this study
into a GIS based program that can be accessed by staff when evaluating EQIP and other
program applications for BMP implementation.
• Improvement of Riparian Areas
o The NRCS, IRWP, and other conservation oriented entities should concentrate riparian
restoration actions on those locations identified in the assessment as lacking adequate
riparian cover, but having stable or less erosive streambanks. The area of focus should be
those areas that are not adjacent to locations that will require channel restoration work.
Improving the riparian cover and increasing riparian buffers will help to lower water
temperatures, reduce the velocity of floodwaters, and improve water quality via filtration
properties of riparian buffers.
6-3
are developed. These sites are shown in Figures 6-1 through 6-6.
o Search for a funding mechanism to conserve working farms where there is landowner
interest.
• Improvement of Riparian Areas
o Partners work together to increase the width of healthy riparian along the tributaries in the
watershed.
• Cities, NRCS, IRWP, and other conservation oriented entities should concentrate
riparian restoration actions on locations identified in the assessment as lacking
adequate riparian cover, but having stable or less erosive streambanks. The area of
focus should be those areas that are not adjacent to locations that will require
channel restoration work. Improving the riparian cover and increasing riparian
buffers will help to lower water temperatures, reduce the velocity of floodwaters,
and improve water quality via filtration properties of riparian buffers.
■ Promote native vegetation along the tributaries in the watershed by removing
invasive plants and enhancing with native shrubs, trees, and grasses.
• Address Sediment and Phosphorus
o Streambank Erosion contributed 54%, the highest percentage among all sources, of the
estimated total sediment loadings to the watershed. Therefore, to reduce sediment loadings
consider
■ Restoring priority streambanks or reaches of stream and include both channel and
riparian
■ Conserve and/or restore with native vegetation 50 feet of riparian along both sides
of the stream channels
o Urban runoff contributed 45% and pasture areas contributed 24% of the estimated total
phosphorus loading to the watershed. Therefore, to reduce phosphorus loadings consider
■ Conducting residential and commercial outreach on fertilizer usage and pet waste
disposal
■ Encourage landowners to participate in agricultural programs, such as, EQIP
■ Increase retention and infiltration capacity of new stormwater management
infrastructure
• The impervious surface evaluation for the watershed showed the streams to already be in an
impacted state. To reverse or slow the increase of impervious surfaces consider the following:
o Incorporate Low Impact Development techniques into future development
o Retrofit existing impervious sites
o Conserve family farm areas
o Restore natural areas to appropriate historic habitat
Lower Clear Creek Watershed
• Streambank Erosion and Potential Restoration
o Based on the air photo analysis, there are several streambanks along Clear Creek located
downstream of Lake Fayetteville to the confluence with the Illinois River that generate the
preponderance of sediment and nutrient loads to the stream. The average annual erosion
rates ranged between 3 and 25 feet and these streambanks should be considered a priority
for restoration. Figure 6-7 shows the locations of the streambanks with the highest erosion.

Section 6. Prioritization and Recommendations
The data and information assembled from this project can be used by Cities, government agencies, non-
governmental organizations, and other natural resource management groups. Specifically, the data and
information is useful for local planning to:
• Select future project sites to reduce sediment, phosphorus, and nitrogen within the Illinois River
Watershed.
• Be considered by the cities of Fayetteville, Springdale, Tontitown, & Johnson to evaluate proposed
development that could potentially impact streams, wetlands, and springs and select stream
restoration sites where infrastructure is threatened
• Provide information on unique areas that could potentially be protected, such as, wet prairies,
wetlands, rare plant habitat, rare aquatic species habitat, and stable sections of stream.
Based on the results of this assessment, priorities were established as a guideline for restoration and
conservation. The following are priorities and recommendations to be considered:
Lake Fayetteville Watershed
• Streambank Erosion and Potential Restoration
o Priority streambanks and natural features identified in the Lake Fayetteville watershed are
shown in Figure 6-1 with close-up maps shown in Figures 6-2 through 6-6:
• Priority streambanks for restoration are defined as streambanks with BEHI and NBSS
defined as High, Very High or Extreme and if NBSS is defined as Very High or Extreme.
■ Streambanks that occur where unique natural features were identified and have high
erosion potential should be considered a higher priority.
o Cities should consider putting the streambank erosion data and information from this study
into a GIS based program that can be accessed by staff when evaluating new development,
watershed planning, and infrastructure projects.
• Conservation of Natural Features
o Six natural feature sites (Figure 6-1) that were assessed on the ground and are described in
Appendix 5 were located in the Lake Fayetteville watershed. These sites should be considered
a priority for conservation or at a minimum be protected as much as possible if development
were to occur in that area. For example, one
of these sites is a headwater swale in a
historic prairie (Figure 6-1a).
o Through a GIS analysis, potential natural
features were identified which include: open

Section 5. Transfer of Results & Outreach
Project Outreach
The WCRC formed a project team with partners after the project was initiated. Representatives were from
several nonprofit, governmental and environmental organizations including:
• Watershed Conservation Resource Center (WCRC)
• City of Fayetteville
• City of Springdale
• Natural Resources Conservation Service — NRCS Washington County Office
• Illinois River Watershed Partnership (IRWP)
• University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service (UACES)
• City of Johnson
• City of Tontitown
At the first meeting, the WCRC introduced the project and presented an overview, discussed and
requested assistance on how to reach out to property owners within the project bounds for access, and
presented criteria for prioritization based on sediment and nutrient loads. Members from the City of
Fayetteville and Cooperative Extension Service discussed the brochure being developed for invasive
species management and removal. The WCRC, UACES, and City of Fayetteville formed a subcommittee to
develop an invasive removal guide for residents.
At the second planning meeting, the WCRC coordinated site tours of an urban and rural stream restoration
projects and a site visit where restoration needed to be conducted. Representatives from the following
organizations participated: WCRC, Beaver Watershed Alliance, City of Fayetteville, UACES, IRWP, Beaver
Water District, Ozarks Water Watch, and City of Johnson
After the assessment was completed, the WCRC presented the results to project partners. Organizations
in attendance for the event include: WCRC, City of Fayetteville, City of Springdale, Natural Resources
Conservation Service — NRCS Washington County Office, and IRWP. The WCRC presented an overview of
the project, results of the streambank erosion assessment, the natural areas assessment, the riparian
assessment, land use, impervious area, and priority sites in the Lake Fayetteville Watershed, and the
Invasive Removal Guide discussed below. A copy of the presentation is available in Appendix 9. The project
partners then asked questions and discussed the use and implications of results.
The WCRC and project partners conducted several outreach events in the watershed including several
trash pick-ups in the Lake Fayetteville watershed. The WCRC gave a presentation on the project to the
Lake Fayetteville Watershed Group. A follow-up presentation will be given in the near future to this group
to discuss the results of the project and how the information can be used to improve the Lake Fayetteville
watershed.
Invasive Species Removal Guide
The UACES, City of Fayetteville, and WCRC cooperatively prepared an invasive species removal guide for
Northwest Arkansas to educate land managers, stewards, homeowners, and volunteers (Figure 5-1). This
guide assists those concerned with managing the spread of invasive plant species, their threat to natural
areas and ecological function of forest, soils, and waterways, and protection of property and wildlife
habitat. The guide helps land stewards identify invasive species, gives techniques to manage them, raises
awareness, and promotes the use of native alternative species. Species were selected based on a federal

Annual Total Phosphorous Summary for the Lake Fayetteville Watershed
The Lake Fayetteville watershed continues to develop farmlands into residential and other urban areas.
The continued urbanization of this watershed poses a threat to the Clear Creek tributaries and Lake
Fayetteville, so it is important to understand the amount of phosphorous loading that is occurring and
what the sources are to make informed decisions. The results for each of the land use type's impact on
Phosphorous loading to Lake Fayetteville are presented in Table 4-4. An average of 2,626 lb/yr of
Phosphorous is estimated to reach Lake Fayetteville each year. The largest source of phosphorous came
from urban land use at 1170 lb/yr.

Phosphorous Loading Sources from Urban Land Use and Construction
Phosphorous loading was estimated for urban land use types and construction land use types. Urban land
uses includes varieties of residential land use, commercial land use, industrial land use, and public parks.
Construction land use is defined for sites of ongoing, active construction. Both were delineated using data
from the Level 11 and Level III land use analysis for the Lake Fayetteville watershed in 2016. Phosphorous
from the urban land use types studied for this analysis were obtained utilizing published phosphorous
loading Coefficients Table 4-2. Total Phosphorous Production for the Lake Fayetteville Watershed from
(Shaver, 2007; USEPA, Urban Land Use
1999). These are shown in Land Use Acres Minimum Maximum Mean Minimum Maximum Mean

ton of soil was determined to be 0.34 lb/ton. With the total sediment produced discussed in a previous
section, phosphorous load were estimated to be 33.4 lb/yr.
Other Sources of Total Phosphorous
Land uses not addressed in the urban land use section were evaluated for phosphorous production as
well. These include forest land, roads and highways, undeveloped land, farmsteads and barren land.
Utilizing Levels II and Level III land use data from the 2016 delineation, sediment production for other land
uses, and published Phosphorous coefficients, Phosphorous load estimates from these sources in the

Section 4. - Nutrient Evaluation of Lake Fayetteville Watershed
Sources of phosphorus within the Lake Fayetteville watershed were evaluated and loadings estimated
utilizing simple calculations data, information from the sediment analysis, published water quality
coefficients, and land use information specific to the Lake Fayetteville watershed. It is important to
evaluate phosphorus and explore actions to reduce this nutrient because it can increase algae and other
aquatics in Lake Fayetteville. In turn, these plants can decrease the amount of dissolved oxygen in the
stream, initiating the process of eutrophication, harming other aquatic species that rely on entrained
oxygen in the water supply. This can also lead to algae blooms, which produce toxins that are harmful to
animal and human health.
Estimate ofAnnual Phosphorous from Streambank Erosion
Annual phosphorous (TP) load was developed from the streambank inventory and toe pin monitoring that
determined various combinations of BEHI and NBSS erosion rates. This data was applied to non -directly
monitored eroding streambanks to estimate total sediment production. Next, streambank material
sampling results were applied. Fine bank material identified during the inventory had an estimated TP
amount of 0.35 lb/ton, Gravel bank material had a TP of 0.24 lb/ton, and Cobble bank material had a TP
of 0.21b/ton. TP produced for the Northeast tributary to Lake Fayetteville was 179 Ib/yr and TP produced
from the Southeast Tributary to Lake Fayetteville was 30 lb/yr. A total of 208 Ib/yr of TP load was
estimated from streambank erosion.
Estimate of Annual Phosphorous from Pastures

Lake Fayetteville watershed. These coefficients, along with the land use analysis from 2016 and sediment
production rates modelled for the same soil type, land use, and soil slopes discussed previously were
utilized to develop TP production values. The average annual Phosphorous load is 718 Ibs/yr. Table 4-1
presents a summary of coefficients used for the analysis, corresponding slopes, acreage, and Total
Phosphorous delivery rates.
Estimated Septic Tank System Total Phosphorous Loading
Currently, there is no complete dataset for locations of onsite wastewater treatment systems for the
entirety of the Lake Fayetteville watershed. Ongoing projects to map and document septic systems are
underway, and in lieu of this lack of published research, data from Blossom Way watershed was utilized
(WCRC, 2008). Data for the Blossom Way watershed was evaluated using the EPA's STEPL model (U.S.
EPA, 2003). Extrapolating this data to the Lake Fayetteville watershed and adjusting for watershed size
4-1
sources produces 93 tons/yr, 5.5% of the total. Sediment production from other sources ranged from 2
tons/yr for farmstead land use to 36 tons/yr for undeveloped land use.

Estimated Sediment Loading from Construction
Areas under construction has almost no vegetation and sediment is exposed to rainfall events. Without
proper management practices in place, these sites can generate significant sediment loadings to
waterways. Sediment delivery coefficients from construction sites were developed in the Blossom Way
watershed for different levels of management of sediment at sites (WCRC 2008) and these values were
applied to the Lake Fayetteville watershed. Using Aerial photography, construction sites were identified
for 2006 and 2016 for the Lake Fayetteville watershed. The 2016 data was used. A summary of

Forest lands have obvious signs of substantial tree growth, roads and highways are defined under
impervious, paved road types. Undeveloped land is defined as plots of land within the watershed that did
not show obvious signs of agricultural activity. Farmsteads are defined as small plots of land in farming
areas with housing and little signs of haying/cattle activity. Barren land is defined as lands devoid or nearly
devoid of vegetation but with no signs of construction being put in place. Published coefficients were
applied to the aforementioned land uses to provide an estimate for sediment production (Shaver. 2007).
The sediment production coefficients and sediment loading rates are presented in Table 3-9.
Summary of Sed1ment Sources from Lake Fayetteville Watershed
The results of the evaluation of sources of sediment to the Lake Fayetteville watershed provides
information to Cities and natural resource based organizations to understand potential impacts to the
Lake Fayetteville watershed. A summary of the analysis is presented in Table 3-10 and displayed in Figure
3-6. A total of 1,690 tons/yr of sediment was estimated from the sources evaluated in the watershed.
Sediment from streambank erosion had the highest loading with 879 tons/yr or 52% of the total. The
second highest loading was urban land use with 402 tons/yr or 24%. Pasture land use was the third highest
with 217 tons/yr or 13% of the total. Construction produced 98 tons/yr or 6%. Sediment from other
3-8
livestock and farm equipment. Surface water runoff from pastures carries sediment particles from eroding
soils to the Clear Creek stream network.
Soil loss from pasture lands was estimated from soil loss and sediment delivery coefficients based on slope
and soil type developed in the Blossom Way watershed study using the Watershed Erosion Prediction
Project (WEPP) hillslope model (WCRC 2008). The Blossom Way watershed is located in the same
ecoregion as the Lake Fayetteville watershed and the predominant soil type, Clarksville soils, is the same
for both watersheds. Therefore, the Blossom Table 3-6. WEPP Soil Loss Coefficients (WCRC 2008), Sediment Loss

Estimate of Annual Sediment Loading from Urban Land Use and Construction
Suspended sediment from urban areas can come from a variety of sources including streets, lawns,
landscaping, driveways, atmospheric deposition, construction and erosion of drainage channels (USEPA
1999). Sediment loading will be addressed for this section in two parts 1) Urban land use 2) Construction
for the Lake Fayetteville watershed.
Urban Land Use
Urban land use, excluding land use associated with construction for this part, will contribute sediment in
a number of ways. Level II and Level III land use analysis data was applied here from Appendix 8, and the
corresponding sediment production is quantified from coefficients developed in previous studies and
applying them to the Lake Fayetteville watershed (Shaver, 2007; U.S EPA, 1999).The sediment
production coefficients and corresponding loading rates are presented in Table 3-7, in the form of Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) data. The minimum and maximum rates for each land use are presented with a
mean value for comparison to separate studies. Total sediment production developed here is 149.7
tons/yr at a minimum, 655.6 tons/yr at a maximum, and 402.4 tons/yr as a mean loading rate.

Streambank Ma terial Sampling
Direct sampling of streambank material was conducted in the Lake Fayetteville watershed. Fine and
coarse bank materials were sampled according to the methods described previously. After some
consideration it was determined that fine bank material samples collected in the Lake Fayetteville
watershed were abundant enough to be representative to all fine streambanks, but there was insufficient
data collected solely within the Lake Fayetteville watershed for coarse soil samples, so bulk density
amounts and nutrient content amounts were estimated from all streambank material samples in the Clear
Creek watershed. Fine bank material has a bulk density of 1.27 ton/yd3, gravel bank material is 1.91
ton/yd3, cobble bank material is 1.87 ton/yd3, and bedrock is 0 ton/yd3 as this resilient bank material was
assumed to not release sediment into the waterways.
Estimate ofAnnual Sediment Loads from Streambank Erosion
Using the streambank inventory, erosion prediction curves, and streambank materials analysis, the
volume of eroded material and loads of sediment and nutrients can be developed for the Lake Fayetteville
watershed. It was determined that an average of 879 tons/yr of sediment was being released into the
waterways from accelerated streambank erosion. 777 tons/yr was released from the Northeast Tributary
to Lake Fayetteville and 102 tons/yr is released from the Southeast tributary to Lake Fayetteville. The
sediment prediction curves were applied to the various BEHI and NBSS conditions for streambanks in the
watershed. This allows for city planners to understand how much a given streambank will erode,
particularly ones that are in proximity to infrastructure that may pose a risk of eroding into those features.
Estimate ofAnnual Sediment Loads from Pasture
Land use in the Lake Fayetteville watershed for the year of 2016 consisted of 1,567 acres of pasture land,
designated via heads -up digitization. The Level II land use analysis data used here is available in Appendix
8. Pasture land is generally used for producing and cutting hay and for livestock grazing. Pasture lands
have less infiltration of rain water when compared to forested lands because of soil compaction from
3-6
The delineated land uses where the impervious coefficients were applied in the Lake Fayetteville
watershed are shown in Figure 3-3. The coefficients for each land use that were applied to the Lake
Fayetteville's Level II and III land uses and estimated impervious surface for the years 2006 and 2016 are
presented in Table 3-5.
The Center for Watershed Protection has developed a tool for predicting the effects of the amount of
impervious features within a watershed to the streams within them. This is known as the Impervious
Cover Model (Schuler 2005). This model separates impact on streams into four categories of Impervious
Cover (IC) 1) Sensitive (0% - 10% IC) 2) Impacted (10% - 25% IC) 3) Non -supporting (25% - 60% IC) 4)
Urban Drainage (>60% IC). The results of the analysis showed that in 2006, 13% of the watershed was
impervious and in 2016, the impervious surface increased to 16% of the watershed. Both of these
percentages fall into the impacted category. Though the categorization hasn't changed since 2006, it has
increased. Streams that are impacted suffer from degraded water quality, loss of riparian cover, and
channel enlargement. However, these streams are generally good candidates for restoration as there is
significant undeveloped land use where BMPs can be implemented to mitigate and restore loss of
groundwater infiltration within the watershed.

Determination of Determination of Impervious Cover
An assessment of the amount of impervious surface that coincides with each land use was conducted for
the Clear Creek Watershed. Impervious Area Coefficient data developed in a study conducted for the
Blossom Way watershed in Rogers, AR were used for this study (WCRC, 2008). The Blossom Way
watershed is located in the same ecoregion and has the same soil type and general land use activities as
the Lake Fayetteville watershed. The coefficients were developed as follows:
1) A minimum of 10% of the total area for a selected Level III land use was evaluated. Impervious
surfaces were digitized within a selected land use. The area of impervious surface was divided
into the total area for the selected land use.
2) Completely impervious surface features were added in the analysis. These included paved roads,
paved highways, paved sidewalks, and paved runways.

and the other larger tributary comes from the Northeast, predominantly in Springdale. Where these two
tributaries meet Lake Fayetteville is formed, which is impounded in the Southwest corner. The Lake
Fayetteville watershed is almost entirely in the Springfield plateau in the Ozark Highlands Ecoregion. A
portion of the watershed in the lower southeast juts into the Lower Boston Mountains of the Boston
Mountain Ecoregion. The Ozark Highlands are characterized by a dominance of Paleozoic rock features
and is underlain largely by highly soluble and fractured limestone and dolomite. Soils are often cherty and
developed from carbonate rocks or interbedded chert, sandstone and shale. The Springfield plateau is
characterized by Karst features such as sinkholes and caves, cold, perennial spring -fed streams, oak -
hickory and oak -hickory -pine forests, savannahs and tall grass prairies. Most of the forests and almost all
prairies have been replaced by agriculture and expanding residential areas (Woods et. al., 2004). In order
to monitor the development and changes within the watershed, aerial imagery was obtained for 2006 and
2016 and land use was categorized using the USGS Anderson Land Classification Scheme. Land use was
evaluated using a heads up digitization approach. Land use was categorized into six main categories and
then further classified into a second level and sometimes third level of analysis.
Some results from the GIS analysis can be seen in Tables 3-2 - 3-4 and Figure 3-2. A Level I Analysis
indicates urban land is the predominant land use covering 54% in 2016 and when compared to 2006, a
rise in 5.8% of the basin occurred over the ten-year time span (Figure 3-2). Agricultural land use
decreased by 7.7% of the basin as farm land and open space became developed (Table 3-1). A Level II
Analysis of the urban land use category indicates that residential land use makes up the majority of this
subcategory (Table 3-2). A level III analysis of residential land use is shown in Figure 3-3 and rural homes
are still the highest residential use. Additional information and analyses are presented in Appendix 8.

Land Use Analysis
Historically, the Lake Fayetteville watershed was characterized by gently rolling hills, forest and prairie
land, wetlands, open woods, thin timber with black oaks, blackjack oaks, post oaks, and hickory
undergrowth with some red oaks and cherries, according to an analysis of a General Land Office (GLO)
survey conducted in 1834 (Commissioner of State Lands, AR). A map showing the results of the natural
areas inventory (Appendix 6) conducted during this project is presented in Figure 3-1 with the background
imagery showing the results of the 1834 survey. Clear Creek tributaries were drawn in the 1834 survey,
but were not recorded to be nearly as wide as they are today. In some areas there is no mention of water
where there is currently a significant tributary, an indication of how development and impervious features
within the watershed have altered channel width and reduced ground water infiltration. Wetland features
were described in the 1834 survey and several of these same areas were observed in this study. Some
areas of prairie features appear to have remained relatively unchanged, in some cases, since noted in the
1834 s u rvey.
A land use analysis was conducted for the Lake Fayetteville watershed in order to quantify changes that
have occurred within the watershed in a ten-year time span from 2006 through 2016. The Lake
Fayetteville basin totals 6,001 acres or 9.4 mi' covering land within Springdale, Fayetteville, and
Washington County. Clear Creek had two main tributaries identified in this study, one in the Southeast

Section 3. - Sediment Evaluation of the Lake Fayetteville Watershed
Sediment sources within the Lake Fayetteville watershed were evaluated to better understand the
amount and impact imposed on this waterway from its various land uses. Sources of sediment were
developed from general observations, discussion with City staff, direct monitoring of erosion, and
general trends in sediment production derived from previous studies. The various sediment sources
addressed in this study are presented in Table 3-1. These sources of sediment were developed from
information and data collected during this study, data developed in previous studies for similar
watersheds within this ecoregion, and simple to complex models of sediment production. The sediment
loads in this study are an estimate of sediment delivered to the stream. The estimates are for
watershed planning purposes only, to help better understand and direct resources to reduce sediment
loading and improve habitat in the Clear Creek watershed.

Riparian Analysis
A riparian buffer analysis was performed utilizing ArcGIS and 2018 Air Photos. The riparian width was
measured along the streams evaluated for this study. Working from upstream to downstream, the
location of the riparian width was demarcated as left, right, both or none. The width of the riparian as
determined by the GIS analysis was separated into categories of less than 50 feet in width, greater than
or equal to 50 feet in width, or no riparian width at all. Fifty feet was selected as the riparian width cutoff
because this value is the prescribed protected width based on the City of Fayetteville's streamside
protection ordinance. The results of the riparian assessment are shown in Figure 2-12 - 2-14 and Table 2-
6 along with the width as a function of the percentage of stream length. Maps showing the riparian
conditions along the length of the Clear Creek assessment basins are presented in Appendix 7. As much
as 32.2% of riparian areas along South East Clear Creek had no riparian on either side of the stream.

Ecologica/Analysis of Clear Creek
An inventory of natural features was conducted to better understand the presence of unique or under-
represented natural areas of interest within the Clear Creek watershed. Areas of potential ecological and
botanical interest are defined as those areas that represent unusual, declining, or high -quality natural
communities; serve as especially valuable habitat for wildlife; and/or support occurrences of State Species
of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Theo Witsell conducted a GIS analysis of the riparian area along
Clear Creek, the Lake Fayetteville watershed, and other identified streams. He identified and mapped 98
potential sites which include: open wetlands, prairie mounds/swale complexes, east slopes, north slopes,
wet flatwoods, glades, spring -fed ponds, abandoned channels, channel scar ponds, spring and spring runs,
mesic forests, ponds -spring fed, and backwater channels. A rank of high, medium, or low were assigned
that indicated the priority of each feature to be ground -verified. Of the 98 features, 16 sites were visited
one or more times and assessed on the ground by Theo Witsell and Karen Willard. Maps that display the
GIS inventoried sites with an overlay of the field assessed site locations are seen in Figures 2-8 - 2-10.
However, many sites identified as areas of potential interest from aerial imagery analysis could not be
effectively evaluated due to 1) the condition of the vegetation at the time of the surveys (e.g. the
vegetation was either grazed or mowed) or 2) lack of landowner permission to access the sites. As such,
these areas were not fully evaluated; therefore, they should still be considered as areas of interest. A

Figure 2-7. BEHI Plotted against Bank Erosion for Four NBSS Cases for Streambanks for use in the Lake Fayetteville Watershed only.
Using the GIS evaluation of the lower watershed, the average yearly sediment and nutrient load
contributions were calculated. Sediment load was determined by multiplying the average annual erosion
rate, the bank height, the eroding bank length, and the bulk density of the eroded soil weighted by the
bank's soil composition. Nutrient loads were found by following that same process using nutrient
concentration based on the soil composition in place of bulk density. Bank height and soil composition
were determined during the initial Clear Creek Assessment inventory. Bulk density and nutrient
concentrations were previously calculated using soil samples collected throughout the watershed.
Average annual sediment loads for individual Streambanks ranged from 200 to 10,000 tons per year.
Average annual nutrient loads for individual stream banks ranged from 67 to 3,600 pounds per year for
Total Phosphorus and 146 to 8,200 pounds per year for Total Nitrogen. Overall, the "Highest Priority'
banks contribute approximately 37,000 tons of sediment, 13,000 pounds of total phosphorus, and 29,000
pounds of total nitrogen each year to the watershed. In comparison, the other 185 banks in the lower
watershed are estimated to contribute only 11,700 tons of sediment, 3,800 pounds of total phosphorus,
and 8,000 pounds of total nitrogen each year. Based on these numbers, approximately 75% of all
sediment and nutrient loads come from these "Highest Priority" banks. All data discussed in this write-up
is presented in Table 2-5 on the following page. Additionally, maps showing the locations of the "Highest
Priority" banks and close-ups of the two worst eroding streambanks, CC287 and CC356, can be found in

Monitoring of Streambank Erosion in the Clear Creek Watershed
To estimate sediment loading to Clear Creek from streambank erosion, lateral erosion rates were first
applied to inventoried streambanks using the BEHI and NBSS ratings. Streambank erosion rate prediction
curves were developed based on physical measurements of streambank erosion in the Clear Creek
watershed using streambank monitoring methods described by Rosgen (2006). By relating BEHI, NBSS,
and the measured erosion rate at each toe pin monitoring site, lateral erosion prediction curves were
developed. The streambank erosion prediction curves are presented in Figure 2-7. After some
consideration, it was determined that the initial streambank erosion monitored for the Clear Creek
watershed was most applicable to streambanks in the Lake Fayetteville watershed and low erosion
streambanks. This was validated by GIS aerial erosion monitoring conducted for streambanks downstream
of Lake Fayetteville and described as follows:
Additional GIS Analysis of Highly Erodible Streambanks in the Lower Clear Creek watershed
Within the lower Clear Creek watershed, a significant portion of the sediment and nutrient loading comes
from a small minority of streambanks. Direct monitoring of these banks is often challenging, as toe pin
monitoring placement does not always correspond to the most erosive areas, and in this case, utilizing
toe pin data was shown to drastically under predict the actual amount of sediment entering Clear Creek
on a yearly basis when looking at air photos taken yearly. Therefore, a GIS-based air photo analysis was
performed on all banks downstream of the confluence of Clear Creek and Mud Creek to find these
"Highest Priority" banks and quantify their contribution to water quality impacts within the watershed.
Sediment and nutrient loads from the "Highest Priority" banks were compared with the rest of the
inventoried streambanks.
In total, 203 individual streambanks were analyzed to determine the amount of streambank erosion that
had occurred from 2017 to 2019. Of those 203 banks, 18 were determined to have shown significant
erosion over the two-year period. Within a GIS environment, the top of bank was traced in ArcMap using
Washington County aerial photography from 2017, 2018, and 2019 for each of the 18 streambanks.
Polygon graphics were created between the top of bank lines (2017 to 2018 and 2018 to 2019) and a total
eroded area was determined over the two-year period. An average annual erosion rate (per linear foot)
was calculated by dividing the total eroded area by the eroding bank length times two (to account for the
two-year period). Average erosion rates presented in Figure 2-7 should only be used in the Lake
Fayetteville watershed. Additional data should be collected to develop a separate set of curves for the
2-6
Streambank Materials Analysis
Samples of the streambank materials (Figure 2-6) were
collected at twenty-two different banks throughout the $`
watershed and their locations are shown in Figures 2-3 s
- 2-5. Sampling sites were selected to provide `
representation of the bank materials typically found
r
within the study area. Of the samples collected for
analysis, twelve coarse bank materials and ten fine bank~
materials were obtained. A coarse soil sample is
generally composed of a mixture of gravel and/or
cobble, sand, and soil while fine soil samples consisted
only of sand and soils of various textures. Coarse
samples were collected using techniques based on
published methods (Brye, 2004). This includes the use Figure 2-6. Coarse Soil Sampling on Clear Creek
of expanding polyurethane foam to assist with obtaining bulk density. Fine samples were collected using
a 2" by 4" Shelby tube and a slide -hammer. Samples were processed in a laboratory to determine bulk
density and particle size distribution. Particle size distribution was used to determine soil type. A sub -
sample was sent to the University of Arkansas' Agricultural Department to determine nutrient content.
The streambank samples underwent several tests to determine their nutrient content including a Mehlich
3 test (for 21 nutrients, especially total phosphorus), a total digestion (for soluble phosphorus), and a total
nitrogen analysis (for total nitrogen). For fine samples, total nitrogen (TN) values ranged from 0.71 to
2.82 lb/ton of soil with an average of 1.38 lb/ton. For coarse samples, TN values ranged from 0.16 to 0.54
lb/ton of soil with an average of 0.32 lb/ton. For fine samples, total phosphorus (TP) values ranged from
0.21 to 0.90 lb/ton of soil with an average of 0.54 lb/ton. For coarse samples, TP values ranged from 0.12
to 0.34 lb/ton of soil with an average of 0.21 lb/ton. For fine samples, bulk densities ranged from 0.87 to
1.45 ton/yd3 with an average of 1.18 ton/yd3. For coarse samples, bulk densities ranged from 1.06 to 2.96
ton/yd3 with an average of 1.89 ton/yd3. Each soil sample was classified and subdivided into four
categories based on particle size distribution: fine, Table 2-3. Soil Type, Sediment, and Nutrient Analysis

Hydrology Analysis
The hydrologic conditions that take place during streambank erosion monitoring directly affect the
general applicability of those observations to predict future erosion rates. Also, in order to compare
erosion rates observed at each toe pin over the monitoring period, the hydrology of the watershed needs
to be taken into consideration. USGS gage 071948095 (Mud Creek at Johnson, AR) provides a good
representation of channel size, location, and physiography when compared to the streambanks assessed
in this study, but is lacking a sufficient historical monitoring period. From initial toe pin installation to
resurvey (8/2017-7/2018) the bankfull flow duration at the gage was approximately 62 hours.
The hours above bankfull discharge were also compared on five other USGS gages near Fayetteville (on
the West Fork White River, White River, Town Branch, Osage Creek, and Illinois River). The additional
gages show that like the Mud Creek gage, the duration of bankfull discharge was at or above average
(Table 2-4). When compared to historical bankfull flow durations, the number of hours above bankfull
flow for the additional gages during the monitoring periods was approximately 40 to 60% higher than the

Erosion Rate Measurement and Sediment Loading
Toe Pin Monitoring
Toe Pin installation took place between June and August of 2017. Prior to installing the toe pins, 42
streambanks were selected to observe a variety of BEHI and NBSS combinations throughout the project
area. Ease of access and obtaining a comprehensive array to the 26-mile project extent guided the
selections. BEHI and NBSS are each categorized into one of the five following categories: Low, Moderate,
High, Very High, and Extreme. A higher classification based on BEHI scores and field observation results in
a higher erosion potential. The selected banks BEHI and NBSS classifications can be seen in Table 2-2.
Toe pin monitoring sites
were created at each
selected stream bank by
installing a permanent survey
monument by hammering a
2' long piece of rebar into the
toe of the bank or by drilling
in a concrete anchor and
ratcheting in a bolt into
bedrock sites. A leveling
survey rod is placed vertically
on top of the toe pin or bolt
and another is held level
horizontally from the profile
of the bank (Figure 2-2).
Vertical and horizontal
changes in slope for the bank
profile are recorded from the
permanent monument. Figure 2-2. Toe Pin Monitoring Conducted on Clear Creek
Appendix 3 details the measurements collected for the selected sites and Figures 2-3 — 2-5 show
streambanks evaluated along with toe pin locations throughout the watershed. After approximately one
years time, the toe pin monitoring sites were revisited for re -survey between June and July of 2018. This
often required a metal detector and shovel for excavation as deposition, erosion or some form of
alteration to the river channel occurred. Not all toe pins remain undisturbed, so extra monitoring locations
were initially installed to account for potential loss. During the follow-up field trip, three toe pins were
never found at their location, most likely damaged and dislodged via a storm event and large debris.
Several other toe pins were dislodged from their location but data was able to be reconciled by recreating
the toe pin location via RTK positioning where GPS data was available. All other toe pins were located and
measurements were recorded for analysis.

Section 2. Inventory of Streambank, Wetland, other Natural Features, and
Riparian
Streambank Erosion Inventory
Between April 4th and May 15th of 2017, staff from the Watershed Conservation Resource Center (WCRC)
inventoried over 26 miles of stream along the main stem of Clear and select tributaries. This included
portions of the communities of Fayetteville, Springdale and Johnson. Data was collected for 413 eroding
streambanks utilizing a Trimble GeoExplorer XH handheld GPS and a Nikon AW120 camera with
geotagging capabilities to match each photograph with the associated Trimble entry. The following data
and information was collected for streambanks (Figure 2-1) showing signs of accelerated erosion:
1) Erosion Potential was evaluated using the Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) method which includes
the following factors
a. Root Depth
b. Root Density
c. Bank Height Ratio
d. Bank Angle
e. Surface Protection
f. Bank Material
g. Bank Stratification
2) Near Bank Shear Stress (NBSS) was
Evaluated = `'
3) Bank height and length was measured M
4) The soil horizons were categorized and
t
weighted
5) Photo of each streambank was taken Figure 2-1. BEHI and NBSS Data Being Categorized on Clear
Creek
Field data was used to rank erosion potential from low to extreme based on a cumulative point total
scoring system. This, in combination with the field assessed NBSS dictated the array of erosion potential
scenarios to be monitored and measured in future surveys.
After analysis of the data, GIS shapefiles Table 2-1. Banks Inventoried and Streambank Erosion Density per Sub
were developed to present the
streambank conditions in a mapping
format. A qualitative indication of
accelerated erosion was observed at
413 banks within the study area. Data
from each of these streambanks was
included in the inventory analysis. The

The riparian area along the streams included in the inventory was also evaluated. The following
information and data was collected:
2-1
The headwaters of Clear Creek encompass areas of Springdale, Fayetteville, Johnson, Tontitown and rural
communities of Washington County. These communities both rely on and impact the quality and stability
of Clear Creek. Infrastructure required by a thriving and growing population ultimately comes with
significant impact to rivers and river ecology. Rivers are a system, formed by and functioning off the
geology, topography, climate, soils and numerous other environmental factors that exist within and shape
its watershed. When there are changes to these features in a short span of time, instability and erosion
can occur almost immediately. Farmers expect land for crops and livestock adjacent to rivers to remain
intact, land owners need property to remain whole and keep their beauty and value, cities and businesses
need their investments and infrastructure to stay unaffected by large storm events, fishermen want fish
to remain healthy and spawn, birders and hikers want to enjoy a biodiverse and healthy ecosystem
functioning in their neighborhood, and swimmers and kayakers want a deep and functioning river system
that contains all the features indicative of a balanced stream system.
The Washington County Cooperative Extension Service, Illinois River Watershed Partnership (IRWP), Lake
Fayetteville Watershed Partnership, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) — State and
Washington County offices, City of Fayetteville, City of Johnson, City of Springdale and City of Tontitown
worked with the Watershed Conservation Resource Center (WCRC) on this assessment. An inventory of
26 miles of stream in the Clear Creek watershed and an evaluation of sediment production associated
with land use change in the Lake Fayetteville watershed was conducted. The streambank and riparian
inventory includes two major tributaries to Lake Fayetteville, one flowing from a Northeastern direction
and one from a Southeastern direction, Scull Creek, a portion of Mud Creek, and the remainder of Clear
Creek as it flows out of Lake Fayetteville and meets the Illinois River. The Clear Creek Watershed, as a
whole, was evaluated by conducting an inventory of natural areas, riparian width and condition,
streambank soil material types, and streambank erosion rates. Streambank erosion was measured by
conducting bank profile measurements from permanent survey monuments and GIS evaluation. Using
this information along with the inventory of eroding streambanks in the watershed and lab results from
streambank sampling, loading rates of sediment and phosphorus to the river were estimated. An
ecological assessment and GIS evaluation of riparian areas was conducted to determine plant species and
habit, and understand the scale and health of remaining riparian areas. Volunteer events and outreach
were conducted and an invasive plant removal guide was developed. A GIS evaluation of land use in the
Lake Fayetteville watershed was conducted in order to understand the rate that development has
increased within this area and the associated impacts to Lake Fayetteville. This evaluation initiated a
detailed study of this rapidly urbanizing portion of the Clear Creek watershed to better estimate the
amount of increased sediment and nutrient production, impacts to the stream morphology and stream
bank erosion, and the impacts on water quality to Lake Fayetteville.

Section 1. Introduction
Project Description
The USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) awarded the Watershed Conservation Resource
Center (WCRC) a grant to conduct an inventory of the riparian and streambank conditions for 20 miles of
Clear Creek and select tributaries. The inventory included the main stem of Clear Creek and the tributaries
above the Lake Fayetteville dam and the Skull Creek tributary. A map of the entire project area is shown
in Figure 1-1. The project objectives were to:
• Identify riparian areas and streambanks in need of restoration
• Identify stable sections of stream, wetland areas, springs, prairie, and other natural areas for
potential protection and conservation
• Evaluate sediment and phosphorus loadings in the Lake Fayetteville watershed
• Provide assessment results to Cities, natural resource agencies, and local watershed and
conservation based groups to help direct funding to high priority areas and to protect unique
natural features
• Provide outreach to watershed residents

This email originated from outside of the City of Fayetteville. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
As a resident of Fayetteville who lives on Zion Road, we thank Fran Alexander for her
opinion essay of 2/2/2021. As she stated so well, the entire town needs to be on full
alert for an issue that will have serious consequences for the Botanical Garden and
Lake Fayetteville. On Feb 161h, the Fayetteville City Council will consider annexation and
rezoning of undeveloped land on the east side of Crossover, across from the Fayetteville
Athletic Club. The plan for Chandler Crossing development is to have commercial buildings
fronting Crossover and 370 housing units on approximately 39 acres behind that. This high
density development would effectively destroy the prairie mounds and wetlands, which
currently slow and filter rainfall and storm water runoff. Without them, there will be more
ruroff pollution of Hilton Creek, which runs through part of the property on its way to the
Botanical Garden and Lake Fayetteville.
Besides the increase in pollution, the dense development will cause a dramatic increase in
flooding of the creek, the Garden, and the Lake. The Lake Fayetteville dam is classified by the
state as a "high -hazard dam of intermediate size". A consultant's study dated December 2020
for the City shows that the size of the Lake Fayetteville dam and spillway are currently
insufficient to meet the state's regulations.
The City planners tell us that to avoid sprawl we must have residential developments of high
density. And yet, doesn't the very act of annexing county lands and creating developments
res.ilt in sprawl? Is it absolutely necessary to do this on an environmentally sensitive
wa=ershed, in a location that will negatively impact Lake Fayetteville and the Botanical
Garden?

Subject: RE: Development on Zion Road
Good afternoon,
City staff has received your comment regarding the proposed annexation and PZD along Zion Road and N. Crossover. I
have forwarded this information to the City Clerk, who will help disseminate this comment to the City Council ahead of
their meeting on February 16. The meeting, as you are likely aware, will be held virtually, and information about how to
participate can be found at this link.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions, and I would be happy to assist.
Jessie Masters
Comments To City Council Members --
Regarding Unfinished Business --Chandler Crossing annexation
Please consider
* The city should not be in the business of private business. The negotiation of
annexation in exchange for stream repair is participation in a business
transaction/business venture.
* This is a false economy notion (an action that saves money at the beginning but
which, over a longer period of time, results in more money being spent or wasted
than being saved).
* The portion of the stream the developer would "fix" is just a small segment of a
longer creek. If annexation and development is going to be the mode the city uses
for watershed repairs, then more county land will need to be annexed on up the
stream to the watershed's headwaters.
* This watershed repair is a public works project, not a one -off -and -done fix; and
should be publicly bid by experts in watershed restoration. Unless the city is in
control of who's hired and inspects the work being done. the results could be too
piecemeal to protect the Botanical Garden and Lake F'ville on downsteam.
* DENSITY-- Hundreds of people and cars on impervious surfaced streets and
tightly packed housing on top of Fayetteville shale and clay soil, which has
expansion and contraction characteristics and near a flood plain, might put water
control beyond engineering magic.
Streamside ordinances, etc. lose their effectiveness if land near streams is coated in
concrete surfaces, so judging that the county's one house per acre restrictions,
which would allow 39 houses on 39 acres as inferior to the city's regulations makes
no sense. The city allowing 370 units on 39 acres vs. the county restricting to 39
units on 39 acres hardly makes the city's regulations better for the environment.
Thank you,
Fran Alexander

To the Fayetteville City Council:
After review and discussion of the proposed Chandler Crossing Annexation and Rezoning request to the
City of Fayetteville, the Environmental Action Committee at it's January 25, 2021 meeting by a majority
vote made the following recommendation:
"The Fayetteville Environmental Action Committee discussed the Chandler Crossing Annexation and PZD
at our meeting on January 25, 2021. While neither supporting nor advocating against the proposed
development itself, the Environmental Action Committee recognizes the positive environmental benefits
that the City's development regulations will provide over development in the County, therefore we
support annexation of this property into the City of Fayetteville. Further, we recommend that the
development should prioritize stormwater management and quality in a way that provides maximum
protection of, and benefits to, the downstream water quality of Lake Fayetteville. Additionally, we
support the permanent creation of open spaces in this development to provide ecosystem services
whether through the dedication of City Park land or through private open space dedications. And finally,
the Environmental Action Committee recommends that the developer provide a flood plain and wetland
delineation during the preliminary plat process."
Thank you for your consideration,
ell
Mike Wiederkehr, EAC Chairperson January 29, 2021

from the development will be heated by hot roofs, streets and sidewalks and moved
to detention ponds where the water will continue to warm before discharge to Hilton
Creek on to Lake Fayetteville. Just imagine the algal blooms that warm
contaminated water will grow.
There is a clear dichotomy between the develope•s proposed plan for urban sprawl
in the form of high -density housing and the protection of the property of residents
living close to the streams feeding Lake Fayetteville as well as the Fayetteville Clear
Creek Watershed. For me the decision is straight forward. I wait to see the science
that says building this development specifically on the Burge farm will have a
significant positive impact on the City of Fayetteville. I think there is clear evidence
that building this development specifically on the Burge farm will have a negative
impact on the residents living close to the streams feeding Lake Fayetteville and the
Lake Fayetteville Clear Creek Watershed. I trust that you will choose environmental
impact over urban sprawl. It is my understanding that Fayetteville is a city that "can
go green in a red state'. Please read the following article:

Members of City Council.
I want every member of the City Council to take a deep breath and consider
everything that has been submitted regarding the Burge Farm annexation and
rezone. There are hundreds of pages of concern. Obviously. this decision goes
much deeper than my personal preference to live in a quiet rural setting. It goes
beyond the flooding concerns of every person in the path of Hilton Creek (including
the Botanical Gardens). There has been significant evidence from multiple unrelated
sources that Lake Fayetteville is in trouble. Pollution of Lake Fayetteville has
reached the point where we are limiting access to the water because of the levels of
blue green algae blooms secreting microcystin toxins. Again; if you stop and think
about your role on City Council, how can you even consider this proposal? Sure,
can understand the annexation of the land with the mission to improve water quality
on this land to Lake Fayetteville. That would be a good thing. But really? You would
advise (support) the construction of a high -density housing development covering
the hills and swales region of the site? You would actually suggest that covering one
of the few remaining filtration systems feeding Lake Fayetteville with impenetrable
surface would be beneficial to the lake.
In one of my previous letters, I presented informaticn about the impact blue green
algae had on Grand Lake St. Marys in Ohio. I grew up in Ohio. I am very familiar
with this Lake. The first lake shutdown was in 2009. Between 2009 to 2015 there
was an estimated loss of $51 million in home value. Since 2009 an estimated $11
million per year has been lost in tourism dollars. Finally, the price from 2010 to 2015
to attempt to clean the problem was approximately $25 million. Keep in mind that
the lake waters are still closed. and they are still spending money on clean-up. What
happened?
"Agriculture runoff is not the only source of pollution in the lake. Industrial and
commercial drainage contribute to the problem as does drainage from out of date
septic tanks and municipal sewage systems. Heavy deposits of silt into the lake also
contribute to the degradation of the lake. Development of homes along the shore
has reduced the number of native plants that helped to strengthen the shore and
reduce erosion. Development has also increased the level of phosphates entering
the lake by over fertilization of lawns. These excess phosphates directly contribute

reduced served as a filter to keep the excess nutrients out of the water."
Your decisions on City Council are important because they send a clear message.
Are you concerned with the growth of Fayetteville over environmental preservation
of a significant Fayetteville asset? It would be responsible to annex this land with the
spirit of improving water quality to Lake Fayetteville. It would be careless to build a
high -density development on that site. The city should spend a few million dollars on
this land to develop it as a green space rather than $50 to 100 million to attempt to
clean up a biological mess created by unnecessary sprawl. Just imagine the optics
of cleaning a major fish kill on Lake Fayetteville. Grand lake St. Mary's experienced
another huge fish die off in early July 2020 after 10 years of battling the algae.

Clearly. I do not support a high -density housing development on the Burge Farm.
think it is foolish. When I had the opportunity, I moved from an urban environment to
the country. I wanted the privacy and quiet a rural setting provides. I am just one
person.
There is little doubt that water runoff from the development is going to contribute to
flooding issues for the residents living next to Hilton Creek. The City of Fayetteville
has not fixed the problems with runoff from Copper Creek. The architect wants to
widen the Hilton creek, which will create a bottleneck as the water enters the narrow
stream at the county line. Water speed will increase leading to more erosion of
stream banks. Flooding will affect only 10 to 16 families.
The loss of Lake Fayetteville to blue green algae is a different story. Much of the
work done to sell Fayetteville as a green city will (and should) be questioned.
Millions of taxpayer dollars will be thrown at a problem that could have been
managed, money that could have been dedicated to other projects. You know that
the algae problem is on the horizon. I challenge you to use your authority to follow
the science.
So; you have a decision you can follow the developers proposed plan for urban
sprawl in the form of high -density housing or you can protect the long-term condition
of Lake Fayetteville. For me the decision is straight forward. Please consider the
protection of this land and restore it as an extension of the Botanical Gardens/ Lake
Fayetteville park systern.
Best Regards
Nick Anthony

Following the water around this house, the stream runs more westerly. The
overflow stream rejoins Hilton Creek on the west side of the neighboring property
at a point not visible.
A rough estimate of the flow, based on observed flow velocity and t-le estimated
cross section of the channel, would be around 4 to 5 cubic feet per second at the
maximum. This is a significant volume of water passirg through the yard.

CONCLUSIONS
• This information should be viewed as observational regarding the existing
system and does not address the question of dealing with flood events that
could result from the development of Chandler Crossing as it is being
proposed.
• The existing storm water runoff system has been demonstrated to work
only with low intensity rainfall events and has failed to control flooding at
least once per year in the last three years.
• The proposed development may increase the runoff by up to 60%. The
actual runoff is directly dependent on the area covered by streets and
housing. High density = High runoff.
• The importance of comprehensive field data for the design phase cannot be
overstated: If the projected runoff is overestimated, the detention ponds
will prevent flooding, even with an atypical, extreme rainfall event.
However, if the projected runoff is underestimated , flooding will continue
to be a problem.

Chandler Crossing
Geology- A Quick Look
What is it?
The geologic formations and structures exposed at the surface and directly under the subject property.
Why is it important?
The geology of the site has a direct bearing on the suitability of the site for development.
Surface Geology
At the surface the site appears to be ideal for building development being relatively flat with gentle slopes.
The site is mostly covered by weathered Fayetteville Shale to the south of the White River fault that cuts across the
site near Hilton Creek. The weathered shale is known to have high shrink/swell potential causing considerable to
damage to homes, roads, sidewalks and other infrastructure built on this unstable material.
Subsurface Geology
The shale south of the fault is underlain by the Boone limestone formation that is known to have the typical
features of karst topography. These karst features (sinkholes, caves, dry valleys) may or may not be present at the
surface, but caves and sinkholes are present in the subsurface. Removal or penetration of the overlying clay/shale
layer, caused by construction, will open the limestone aquifer directly to surface water infiltration and
contamination. A direct connection between the aquifer in the Boone and Lake Fayetteville is extremely likely.
North of the fault line the Boone is also covered by a layer of clay rich soil that is hydric in local areas. Surface
water tends to stand for up to two or three days after significant rainfall. Shrink/swell clay soils act as a barrier
reducing the flow of surface water into the underlying Boone limestone.
White River Fault
This fault cuts across the property in an approximate east -west orientation. Typically fault zones are not a sharp
boundary, but are composed of crushed fragments of the rock units involved. These zones may be either a barrier
or a passage for water, depending on the porosity of the crushed material fault zone. My opinion is that the
weathered shale on the surface currently forms a barrier to surface water infiltration. With removal of the surface
material, the fault zone could be transformed into a conduit for surface water into the Boone aquifer.
Satellite Image
The included image shows the subject property with the geologic information marked in the approximate positions
as taken from the geologic worksheet of the area. Additional information can be made available to interested
parties.
I feel it is important to review all of the known information, because the Chandler Crossing development will have
an impact not just on the local neighborhood, but also on Lake Fayetteville for years to come.

Proposed Chandler Crossing Site - Storm Water Runoff Revisited
This is a summary of my original report, which was done over a two -week period
last October, and is included in your packets. The rainfall during this time was used
to provide some basic information about Hilton Creek channel capacity. Time and
equipment constraints means this information should be taken to show trends, not
absolute volumes of water. However, the elevation markers for previous rainfall
events shown on the story pole photo in the report are reasonably accurate
representations of the actual water level.
The process of quantifying water movement over and through a natural watershed
is difficult at best. The measurable runoff in a watershed is less than the rainfall
total. To quantify maximum runoff precisely requires measurement of the flow
draining the watershed over a minimum time period, ideally the annual peak of the
rainfall cycle. Measuring rainfall is easy, measuring the runoff is much more
complex and time consuming.
The highlights from the report are as follows:
• Runoff will increase with any housing development compared to the present
condition. Runoff is conservatively estimated to increase by 60% or more for a
high density development.
• Hilton Creek has flooded at least once per year for the past 4 years, with
overflow across Zion Road and neighboring properties.
• Detention ponds from Copper Creek increase flooding, instead of helping to
control flooding, due to insufficient detention time.
As a final point, much of the land for the proposed development appears to be
wetlands because of its location at the bottom of the watershed and the presence of
standing water for days after rainfall. Mound and swale topography also serves the
function of cleaning the water before it enters streams, lakes, and rivers. They have
been compared to our own kidneys that filter out impurities. Chandler Crossing
will be removing those kidneys and putting Lake Fayetteville on dialysis program,
which will be designed by the developer...
And finally, do we have any examples of the developer's past work dealing with
similar flood control and water quality issues that are successful?

Proposed Site of Chandler Crossing
Shrink/Swell Soil
What is it?
Shrink/swell potential is measured by the change in volume of the soil when there
is a change in moisture content. If the soil cracks as it dries out, it has a higher
potential as compared to soil that doesn't crack when dried.
Why is this important?
The site for proposed Chandler Crossing is entirely on soil that has weathered from
the Fayetteville Shale, which is known for having high shrink/swell potential.
Since the site is on the lower elevation of the Hilton Creek watershed, it will be
subjected to wet and dry cycles each year for the life span of the development. The
site will provide many challenges for the builder. Failure to meet these challenges
will mean years of expensive repairs to homes, streets, sidewalks, and utility lines.
At this point, my conclusion is that the site has just two redeeming qualities:
• Flat
• For Sale
This link to a video shows what can happen in high clay soils with high moisture
content, very much like the Chandler Crossing site:

Position Comment Only
Comments I am also concerned about a large PZD polluting Lake Fayetteville. This proposed
subdivision is part of an ongoing larger problem for our city and the surrounding
planning area. Recently there has been concern about the Fayetteville Industrial
Park building in ways that threaten the middle fork of the White River (as well as a
historic cemetery there). In the neighboring city of Centerton, a new "Links"
proposed subdivision would threaten a bird and fish preserve. I know we have a
"streamside ordinance" but perhaps this protection needs to be stronger. In the new
st-bdivisions in my neighborhood (west Fayetteville) the reliance on sod grass
(Bermuda grass) yards treated with herbicides seems so destructive to our fish,
birds, pollinating insects. Yes, there is demand for housing, but can't the yards,.
roads, parking lots have more limits, guidelines to protect our precious natural
resources and wild areas that remain surrounding cur city.
