Mr. Mason related that the trend of the property located in the

quiet commercial businesses.

space to accommodate the square footage requirement for C-1 zones
as set forth in the Jacksonville Municipal Code.
Chairman Brannen closed the public hearing at approximately 7:05

REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
APRIL 10, 1995
7:00 P.M. -7:50 P.M.
Mr. Mason related that he did not feel his business would utilize
the required parking spaces for a building of almost four thousand
square feet. He reiterated that much of the surrounding area is
already zoned commercial.
Other concerns were expressed with regard to future plans and
future ownership of the property if it were permanently rezoned
commercial.
Chairman Brannen offered that if the Planning Commission were to
deny the request Mr. Mason would still have an opportunity to seek
a variance from the Board of Adjustment with regard to conditional
use. He stated that the Board of Adjustment fee could be waived.
Discussion ensued with regard to future zoning plans for the area.
It was mentioned that this type of business would not warrant a
need for a large number of parking spaces. It was then pointed out
t hat when Mr. Mason purchased the property he believed it to be
zoned C-2.
Commissioner Dornblaser asked for clarification with regard to
recommendation to the Board of Adjustment, adding that in the
future if the area is designated for commercial rezoning then Mr.
Mason could bring the item of business back to the Planning
Commission and receive a permanent rezoning. He stated that this
would give the petitioner the opportunity to operate his business
as he had planned.
Commissioner Gray suggested that if the petitioner would withdrawn
his item of business before the Planning Commission then the motion
could be made for a recommendation to the Board of Adjustment.
The petitioner withdrew his item of business.
Commissioner Elliott moved, seconded by Commissioner Dornblaser to
recommend that the request be sent to the Board of Adjustment at
the earliest convenience for a variance at no cost to the
petitioner. MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST TO SET UP PUBLIC HEARINGS: Rezoning of property located at
Valentine Road. Petitioner Jerry Oldridge
It was noted by Chairman Brannen that the petitioner Mr. Jerry
Oldridge is not present and that it has been the practice of the
Planning Commission to defer any item of business that is not
represented.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
APRIL 10, 1995
7:00 P.M. -7:50 P.M.
City Engineer Reel related that the request to rezone may also be
viewed as one of a spot zoning nature and asked if the petitioner
might also need to seek a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
It was noted that the area adjacent to the request is zoned
residential.
It was the general consensus of the Planning Commission that the
request not be acted upon without the petitioner present.
Discussion ensued as to the petitioner being heard as a matter of
record. Further discussion ensued regarding the disposition of the
body with regard to spot zoning and what options the petitioner may
want to seek before or after presentation to the Planning
Commission.
Chairman Brannen recommended that the item be delayed and the
petitioner be informed of his options with regard to the rezoning
of the property located at Valentine Road.
REQUEST TO APPROVE BUILDING PERMITS:
A request was submitted by Boyce W. Penn for a residence to be
constructed off Quince Hill Road.
'
City Engineer Reel related that the water line is located directly
across the street and the sewer is at the back of the lot, adding
that both utilities expressed no problem if the building permit is
granted.
Commissioner Gray related that with regard to a metes and bounds
legal description clarification is needed on how the tract of land
may have come to be separated from the adjacent land.
Mr. Penn related that he recently purchased the property, that it
was part of a larger tract of land with two houses addressed as 708
and 805 Quince Hill Road. He related that he has sold the house
located at 805 Quince Hill Road with plans to keep 708 Quince Hill
which is being offered as a rental property. He stated that his
plans are to build a house on the vacant piece of property.
Commissioner Gray related that the recent practice of the Planning
Commission with regard to smaller tracts of land being subdivided
has been that documentation be presented so the property can be
properly platted. He related that it would need to show the
existing houses plus the tract proposed for construction, adding
3

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

that it needs to be legally described as part of a subdivision. He
added that he did not have a problem with the request provided that
the property can be properly subdivided.
Commissioner Gray moved, seconded by Commissioner Belden that the
metes and bounds building permit request be granted provided that
proper documentation for subdividing be submitted to the Planning
Commission. MOTION CARRIED.
It was discussed that the petitioner could start construction with
the approved metes and bounds building permit, while the
subdividing of the property would move through proper channels to
the City Council.
REQUEST TO APPROVE PLATS: Preliminary Plat Pennpointe Subdivision
Phase II Petitioner Dickie Penn
City Engineer Reel related that the one change from the original
plat was a requested street outlet to the west on to the Mathews
property. He related that the development in Phase II will be
exclusive, adding that the developer seeks protection from the
Planning Commission with regard to uncertain development of the
Mathews property. He stated that if they are required to develop
a side entrance it may hurt the integrity of the proposed
development of Phase II with regard to proposed security access.
He related that he is following the original preliminary plat with
exception to the exit to the west.
Petitioner Dickie Penn related that because of the expanse of the
lake, there is no proposed entrance from Phase I to Phase II. He
then related that none of the lots in Phase II are in the flood
plain.
Discussion ensued as to the proposed development and a need for a
waiver with regard to the length of the culdesac in Phase II.
Commissioner Dornblaser moved, seconded by Commissioner Piggee to
approve the preliminary plat of Penn Pointe Subdivision Phase II
with a waiver on culdesac length. MOTION CARRIED.
MAINSTREET REVITALIZATION:
Commissioner Belden gave an update on activity of the Mainstreet
Revitalization Committee, making mention of the scientific survey
being conducted with regard to shoppers of the area and
participation from businesses as well as property owners. She

REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
MAY 8, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:13 P.M.
Mr. Oldridge stated his desire to request a public hearing with
regard to the rezoning of the property to a C-1 zoning.
He related that he is planning to purchase the property and build
a heating and air conditioning service shop contingent upon the
rezoning.
Acting Chairman Gray informed Mr. Oldridge that the present owner
of the property would need to request the rezoning either alone or
jointly. He requested a letter of record from the owner of the
property. He related that the public hearing could be scheduled
stipulating that the letter be presented in a timely manner so that
the property can be properly advertised.
Commissioner Reid moved, seconded by Commissioner Patton to set a
public hearing for the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission
meeting on June 12, 1995, stipulating receipt of a letter of intent
from the owner requesting the rezoning from R-0 to C-1 of the
following legally described property: Part of the Southeast
Quarter (SE 1/4), Section 36, Township 3 North, Range 11 West, and
Partof the Northeast Quarter (NE 1/4), Section 1, Township 2 North,
Range 11 West, Jacksonville, Pulaski County, Arkansas, being more
particularly described as follows: Commencing at the NE corner,
Section 1, T-2-N, R-11-W; thence N 89 degrees 07' W, 1554.65 feet
to the point of beginning; thence S 53 degrees 30' w, 219.60 feet;
thence N 36 degrees 30" W, 348.23 feet; thence n 53 degrees 30' E,
250.00 feet to the East right-of-way of Valentine Road; thence S 36
degrees 30' E, along said right-of-way, 348.91 feet; thence S 53
degrees 30'W, 30.40 feet to the point of beginning: Containing
2. 0' acres, more or less. The owners presence at the public
hearing was also requested in the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST TO APPROVE BUILDING PERMITS:
REQUEST TO APPROVE PLATS:
DISCUSSION: Annexation of various areas and the Jacksonville
Municipal Code Chapter 17.20.060 regarding Culdesac length.
City Engineer Reel related that because of the numerous requests
for variances for culdesac length, it has previously been discussed
changing the ordinance setting the requirements. He related that
in discussions with the Fire Chief it was pointed out that with
regard to a 1,000 foot culdesac, adequate fire protection would
need to be provided to the end lots. He stated that the developer
would be responsible for placing adequate border lines to acomodate
for installation of a fire hydrant 500 feet from the end of the
2
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
MAY 8, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:13 P.M.
culdesac. He further related other items that need addressing in
ordinance changes: 1) making it unlawful to pour concrete in
gutters for the purpose of smoothing driveway entrances; 2) making
it unlawful to install athletic equipment at the back of curbs
which encourages children to play in the street and impedes
traffic.
Discussion ensued as to standards and conditions with regard to
setting culdesac length. It was related that geometries would
largely determine a variance request for more than 1,000 feet. It
was noted that the addition of 500 feet in culdesac length would
not increase evacuation problems.
Chief Hibbs related that the last evacuation did not cause a
problem with regard to culdesac areas. He stated that the problems
mentioned in association with culdesacs were caused from cars being
parked along the curb, making it difficult for fire and sanitation
trucks to turn adequately.
City Engineer Reel related that the Planning Commission might want
to consider increasing the width of culdesacs between 30 to 33 feet
which would solve the problem. He related that the present radius
of culdesacs does not facilitate the Fire Department ladder truck,
adding that Fire Chief Ezell has requested that the Planning
Commission investigate the possibility of increasing the paved area
in a culdesac to a 100 foot radius. He then related that this
would also solve damage problems to the culdesacs made when heavy
trucks have to turn sharp to get around the culdesac.
Discussion ensued involving subdivision regulations and proposed
changes. City Engineer Reel volunteered to gather further data for
consideration before it is presented in ordinance to the City
Council inviting input from the Commissioners.
Acting Chairman Gray related that reports regarding annexation of
four areas surrounding the City has been submitted to the Planning
Commission and are described as Valentine and Wooten Road area,
Graham Road, Military Road, Loop Road to the County line, north of
the Air Base which includes Peters Road, Roderweis Road over to
Centennial, and an area by the back gate of the Air Force Base.
Chief Hibbs referred to his written report with regard to the
proposed annexations. He stated that he would also like to discuss
an area located along Vandenburg which has caused some confusion
over jurisdiction. He related that the security police on base are
sometimes forced to call the county or state police because some
areas on base are not located inside the city limits.

7:00 P.M. -8:13 P.M.
City Attorney Bamburg related that this not only creates difficulty
for the security police and city police but also for the courts
with prosecution. Other situations which cause jurisdiction
difficulty were cited by Chief Hibbs.
Discussion ensued over a joint effort with the Air Force and City
regarding annexing the entire Air Force base. It was related by
Chief Hibbs that the annexation of the base property would not
require any additional force or expense and that military law would
continue to supersede the city law with regard to military
personnel requiring assistance only when civilians are on base.
He then related that with regard to the proposed annexation of the
south, east, and west areas the Police Department would be able to
use zones already in place without additional budgeting. He stated
that the annexation of these areas is seen by the Police Department
as a matter of cleaning up and simplifying city limit lines.
It was noted that the fire coverage would have to be addressed by
Fire Chief Ezell.
Public Works Director Skip Spears presented his report, stating
that with regard to development in the City it has already reached
the point with current subdivisions that another sanitation truck
will need to be added in a year or two. He discussed the revenues
for sanitation operation and the possibility of an increase in
Sanitation cost next year. He related that the west area will have
no impact on current collection until it is further developed,
adding that the Valentine area in the south is on Tuesday's route
and would not be significant with regard to time. He stated that
two-thirds of the City is currently being offered recycling service
however adding another truck will need to be considered should the
EPA require mandatory recycling. He related that with regard to
the Street Department the proposed north annexation will have a
large impact on mowing, ditch work, and mosquito spraying, while
the roads are in fairly good shape. He related that the Wooten
Road and Valentine Road will require significant drainage attention
because it lies in a low, flat area which is in the flood plain.
He noted the problems with beaver control and required mosquito
spraying in the area. He related that the west and south area
could be incorporated into the Street Department system with little
impact but that Wooten Road and the northern area would create
significant increases. He related that the Animal Control
Department would experience difficulty with regard to regulations
that have not previously applied to citizens in the northern area.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
MAY 8, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:13 P.M.
City Engineer Reel related that an increase in manpower would be
needed in the Code Enforcement Department.
Breakdowns on cost and services were discussed with regard to
annexation. Public Works Director Spears related that the revenues
collected from annexation would not be as significant as the cost
to incorporate these areas. He then related that fee increases
with regard to Sanitation are projected with future growth in mind
in order to prevent raising fees annually.
Commissioner Foster requested clarification with regard to the
budgeting for a recommendation of annexation to the City Council.
Acting Chairman Gray related that the Planning Commission is the
first phase for annexation. He stated that it is a matter of
cost/benefits; cost to the current citizens and benefits to all
citizens in the future. He pointed out that it is the
responsibility of the Planning Commission to analyze annexations
and make recommendations to the City Council.
Discussion ensued as to the operation and preparation of the annual
budget as well as the decision making process with regard to
expenditures for proposed annexation.
Acting Chairman Gray related that he feels personally that a great
deal of consideration needs to be given to the question of equal
service for all citizens. He related that the issue of water and
sewer has not been dealt with yet, giving the Planning Commission
other considerations and need for additional information. .
City Engineer Reel related that areas with no present population
should be considered for annexation for cost reasons. He mentioned
the Metropolitan Trust property between General Samuels and Bayou
Meto going toward Harris Road. He pointed out that the taxes would
drop under annexation for that piece of property because of the
difference between City and County taxes.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Foster, Chief Hibbs
related the nature of team work between County and City Police with
regard to areas located in the Jacksonville City limits and Lonoke
County.
Acting Chairman Gray and the Planning Commissioners expressed their
appreciation for the written and oral reports from the various
departments.

Commissioner Belden moved, seconded by Commissioner Dornblaser to
deny the request to rezone the property located at Mayfair and
Valentine Road. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN: Commissioners
Elliott, Reid, Foster, Gray, Dornblaser, Piggee, Belden, and Patton
voted AYE. (9) voted AYE. (0) voted NAY.
b. Request to rezone Lot 000, Block 005 of the Edgewood
Subdivision to the City of Jacksonville
Chairman Brannen opened the public hearing at approximately 7:10
p.m.
Mr. David Spicer related that the property is not coordinated for
residential development since the only access to the property is
from the frontage road. He then related that the property is
surrounded by ditches on all sides, which he stated he would fill
in at considerable cost.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Brannen, Mr. Spicer
related that drainage concerns would be addressed by the City
Engineer who has already surveyed the property with regard to
drainage.
Commissioner Elliott asked what the intended use of the property
would be if it were rezoned to C-2. It was related by Mr. Spicer
that he has not decided at this time adding that it would be in
coordination with the Mr. Gray's real estate office.
Chairman Brannen closed the public hearing at approximately 7:16
p.m.
Commissioner Dornblaser stated he was not in favor of rezoning
which would not be in keeping with the comprehensive land use plan
without knowing what the intended use would be.
Further discussion ensued as to the different uses permitted within
a C-2 zoning and concerns for the residential area which it backs
up to. It was noted that the property would be better suited for
commercial use than residential, adding that a lower commercial

Commissioner Dornblaser pointed out what Metroplan had related with
regard to blind rezoning and establishing land use policies. He
stated that while it may be suited for commercial development, not
all C-2 uses are suitable to be backed up to a residential area.
Discussion ensued as to the permitted and conditional uses of a C-2
zoning classification which may be objectionable to the surrounding
residential area. It was noted that the area consisted of almost
1/2 acre.
Commissioner Belden asked if the petitioner would be agreeable to
a rezoning of the area to a C-1 zoning classification instead of
the requested C-2.
Discussion ensued as to the permitted uses in a C-1 zoning
classification and concerns with regard to future development if
sold while zoned C-2.
Mr. Spicer related that at a later time he may develop the area for
a real estate office. After reviewing the list of C-1 permitted
uses, Mr. Spicer stated that a C-1 zoning would be acceptable.
Commissioner Piggee moved, seconded by Commissioner Belden to
approve a rezoning of the property to a C-1 zoning classification.
A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN: Commissioners: Elliott, Reid, Foster,
Piggee, and Belden voted AYE. Commissioner Gray abstained.

REQUEST TO SET UP PUBLIC HEARINGS:
REQUEST TO APPROVE BUILDING PERMITS: Remodel and Expand Existing
Structure/corner of Bailey & Main Streets (previously Baskin
Robbins)
Mr. Scott Farrell represented the item of business requested by Mr.
Harry Daugherty.
He presented a layout of the proposed construction at the corner of
Bailey and Main Streets. He said that the existing space will be
remodeled and additional space, as indicated on the drawing
presented to the Commission, would be added to the west side of the
existing structure. He pointed out that there would be ten spaces
for parking in the rear of the building, a sidewalk on the west
side and a garden area, with a low retaining wall approximately two
(2) feet to thirty (30) inches high, in the front of the building.
He pointed out that the metal encasement of the existing building
and the proposed metal addition would be covered in brick veneer.
He noted that the use of the structure is designed to accommodate
quite office activity.
There was discussion regarding two power poles on the west side of
the building and how traffic was complicated with use of the
1
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

7:00 P.M. -8:40 P.M.
parking lot on the west side of the existing building. He said
that parking as proposed will solve problems with cars backing into
Bailey Street.
City Engineer Reel explained that the low wall encas1ng the garden
area will not obstruct visibility.
Words of commendation were expressed from the Commission regarding
the proposal to upgrade Main Street with the construction_as
proposed.
After a question by Commissioner Gray regarding the widening of
Bailey Street, City Engineer Reel explained that at this time the
existing building would have to be acquired as right of way if such
a situation existed.
Commissioner Dornblaser moved, seconded by Commissioner Foster that
the building permit requested by Mr. Harry Daugherty to remodel and
expand the existing building at the corner of Main and Bailey
Streets with variance of the side yard granted also. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
REQUEST TO APPROVE PLATS: PENNPOINTE PHASE II (Condominium
Complex)
City Engineer Reel pointed out that there are variations from the
Jacksonville Municipal Code with regard to R-5 zoning in the
Preliminary Plat as presented. He noted the following in the Code:
25 foot wide lots, 25 foot front yard, 25 foot rear yard plus the
building is not to take up more than fifty (50) percent of the lot.
He pointed out that looking at this type of development in the
Memphis, Dallas and Little Rock areas, that lots are more square
allowing less yard which is desirable for persons desiring the kind
of housing afforded in the condominium concept. He said that 2, 000
minimum to 3,500 foot homes are being proposed with an island for
excess parking and a common park area for persons in the
subdivision. He said that basically the concept is what zero lot
line calls for adding that the lots are wider and not as deep as
required by ordinance.
He said that a fifteen foot walk is designed to go around the
entire lake which will accommodate those who desire to use it.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
JULY 10, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:40P.M.
There was general discussion regarding the width of the street, the
width of the culdesac as proposed, accessibility for fire and
police protection, busses, and garbage service as well as utility
easements.
Mr. Penn noted that the culdesac is to have a forty-five (45) foot
radius and a twenty (20) foot street.
Commissioner Bart Gray questioned whether or not there would be
joint ownership in the development of lots which are zoned R-5. He
questioned the sale of lots and the responsibility of the City with
regard to streets and the extra parking.
Mr. Penn voiced that whatever the City feels is fair would be
acceptable in the development.
There was a general discussion regarding the liability of the City
in the event a gate is constructed across the street as a private
ingress and egress. Accessibility for police, fire, garbage pick-
up, and bus service was also discussed.
It was pointed out that the Fire Department would need a sixty foot
radius to turn the ladder truck around as culdesac length and
radius was discussed. Mr. Reel said that he did not feel there
would be a problem with the development as proposed.
Commissioner Dornblaser voiced that he felt there needs to be
clarification regarding a twenty (20) foot street one way, versus
a twenty-seven (27) foot street, adding that a Bill of Assurance
should be submitted as well. He said that accessibility of bus
service for school children was also a concern.
Discussion ensued again as to the accessibility of a card gate
entrance with regard to the fire, police and garbage. It was
suggested that the property owners may want to maintain a common
general ownership of the property and the streets since public
streets are dedicated to public use. Consensus was that
neighboring cities may offer insight into handling this type of
development with regard to public use and safety concerns for the
residents.
City Engineer Reel responded to a question posed by Commissioner
Dornblaser by relating the main street in the development is 28 ft.
wide narrowing to 20 ft. as it goes around the park area. He
stated that it would need to be designated with a sign requiring
traffic to turn right upon entering the development. He related
that developmental discussion included putting a curb and gutter on

the outside of the street and leaving the inside area next to the
park un-curbed.
After discussing problems with delay of the project Commissioner
Gray offered consideration of acceptance for the lot layout, adding
that other concerns could be addressed as development unfolded.
City Engineer Reel clarified development concerns with regard to
culdesac radius in phase I.
The Commission concluded that the object of present concern 1s the
lot layout leaving the parking area and culde ~~c radius for future

Commissioner Gray moved, seconde ~y Commissioner Dornblaser to
approve the Preliminary Plat Plan -as presented with the exception
of the parking area and the turning radius of the inner street with
further stipulations that the recorded final plat show a one way
circle with no on street parking. MOTION CARRIED.
Commissioner Gray suggested that Mr. Penn consider privatizing the
entire area which would grant leeway to present concerns held by
the Commission. He stated that if it is built and maintained
privately there would not be the concerns presently over public
access and use.
Discussion ensued as to the repercussions of privatizing the
streets. It was suggested that before he make his final decision
regarding the streets and common areas he seek legal advise.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
DISCUSSION: Zoning Changes/Culdesac and Conditional Uses.
ZONING/CULDESAC
Chairman Brannen introduced discussion regarding culdesac length.
City Engineer Reel related that most property developed would
support a culdesac of 1200 feet. He suggested that the maximum not
be over 1200 feet reminding the Commission that no matter what
length is set, a variance will still be requested.
Commissioner Dornblaser related that he felt that the number of
houses to be developed and lot size needs to be part of the
equation given consideration to traffic flow.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
JULY 10, 1995
7:00P.M. -8:40P.M.
City Attorney Bamburg related that he and the City Engineer had
discussed using 1000 feet unless the topography indicated or
provided for otherwise. He then related that this would give the
Planning Commission discretion where the topography of the land
would support a culdesac of 2000 feet in length without stimulating
concerns adding that in such a case the radius at the end of the
culdesac might be 80 feet. Factoring that in smaller areas given
safety and traffic flow concerns the Planning Commission may
warrant a shorter culdesac providing a basis for determining proper
culdesac length. He offered that from a legal standpoint it would
need to be done on a consistent basis. He stated that a list of
factors would need to be included in the statement of culdesac
length so that developers could be prepared to address those issues
as plats are prepared.
Commissioner Elliott reminded the Commissioners that whatever is
decided with regard to the length of a culdesac, decisions by the
Commission would have to be consistent.
There was general discussion regarding a number of dead end streets
which have been allowed in subdivision development in the City.
Conunissioner Dornblaser moved, seconded by Conunissioner Foster that
culdesac length be designated 1,200 feet with considerations given
to the topography of the land, size of the lots, ingress and egress
and public safety. MOTION CARRIED.
ZONING/CONDITIONAL USE
City Engineer Reel explained that information from Metroplan has
brought attention to the existing Municipal Code and that he feels
the following changes in Permitted Use and Conditional Use areas of
the code should be changed. Said changes to the code (to be heard
by the Board of Adjustment) were presented as follows:

and not by the City.
Commissioner Elliott moved, seconded by Commissioner Dornblaser

MOTION CARRIED. (to be presented to Council August 17, 1995 at
their regular meeting.)
b. PRELIMINARY PLAT/Fair Oaks Subdivision
City Engineer Reel said that a Preliminary Plat was presented by
Mr. Jerry Smith in November of 1994 adding that changes have been
made and appear on the plat before the Commission. He noted that
Christy Lane was shown as going all the way through to the east
property line on the original plat pointing out that it has been
changed to a semi-culdesac on the east side. He said that his
contention is that Christy Lane should be connected to Christy Lane
as shown in the Bushwood Subdivision Plat. He mentioned a sketch
made available to the Commission showing the relation of Bushwood
and Fair Oaks Subdivisions which shows that the two streets are
misaligned by approximately 380 feet. He related a like connection
on General Samuels that goes through Woodland Hills.
He said that future development of Fair Oaks should have Christy
Lane should go straight through and tie into the north side of lots
on Harris Road.
There was further discussion regarding the street connection with
Commissioner Gray stating that he felt the Preliminary Plat before
2
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
AUGUST 14, 1995

the Commission could stand alone without further consideration with
the exception of renaming the street.
City Engineer Reel said he did not feel that it is equitable to tie
the two subdivisions together mentioning a parcel between Bushwood
and Fair Oaks which is undeveloped at this point. He said that Mr.
Smith has agreed to changing the name of Christy Lane on the
Preliminary Plat.
Mr. Smith stated that lots, or portions thereof, designated "F" are
in the flood plain and will be filled removing them from the flood
plain on the Final Plat of Fair Oaks.
A discussion ensued with regard to lots in the flood plain as shown
in the plat before the Commission as well as lots in other areas of
the City.
It was pointed out that the pad where the house is built may be
elevated above the flood plain or that the lot as a whole may be
filled and brought out of the flood plain.
City Engineer Reel said that the flood elevation in the particular
Fair Oaks area is 252.
It was pointed out by City Engineer Reel that storm drains will
eliminate flooding when the lots are filled to bring them out of
the flood plain.
Commissioner Gray pointed out that the lots are certainly buildable
even in the flood plain and that filling them above the flood plain
will eliminate flood insurance. He expressed concern that the "F"
designation be retained on those lots remaining in the flood plain.

Dornblaser stated that his main concern was the

area including where the streets would be laid would
Other concerns were discussed with regard to completing the street
to Harris Road and submittal of a Bill of Assurance with the final
plat which would include requirement of all construction to face
the 35 foot setbacks. Further discussion ensued as to the minimum
square footage, lot size and side yard setbacks. Consensus
gathered around stipulations for preliminary plat approval.

REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
AUGUST 14, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:40 P.M.
It was related by Mr. Smith and Mr. Bond that while the development
contained 48 lots of which over 30 are in the flood plain, that
many of the lots would not require much elevation to bring them
completely out of the flood zone. Insurance requirement with
regard to a portion of the lot being in the flood zone was
discussed.
Commissioner Piggee moved, seconded by Commissioner Gray to APPROVE
the Preliminary Plat of Fair Oaks Subdivision stipulating FEMA
approval before final plat, requesting that lots 12F, 34F, 35F will
face the 35 foot building line, that the Bill of Assurance will be
submitted with the final plat and the radius of the culdesac will
be increased to 60 foot.
Discussion ensued as to the request of an increased radius in the
culdesac originating from the fire department because of emergency
equipment requirements.
MOTION CARRIED at this time.
c. PRELIMINARY PLAT/Stonewall Subdivision Phase VII
City Engineer Reel related that the preliminary plat has been
slightly revised from the sketch plat submitted last fall. He
related that the developer proposed 30 lots in phase I of Phase
VII. He stated that he has asked the developer to change the
location of the proposed entrance on Berkshire Drive further south
along Loop Road, cutting down on congestion which might occur as
traffic leaves the subdivision. He also requested that another
entrance into the subdivision be moved to the east border of the
phase, giving traffic the opportunity to achieve access to Loop
Road without going down Berkshire Drive. He related that with
regard to some of the lots that are located in the flood plain he
has asked that the developer and engineer design a: drainage
retention basin to cut down on the impact of drainage during heavy
rain falls as it approaches the major drainage ditch. Concluding
he stated that the developer has agreed to address these requests.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Elliott, Mr. Green
related that tract A is located in the flood way and is proposed as
a land gift to the buyer of lot 508.
City Engineer Reel related that Mr. Gre~ dedicating what is
needed for the 100 ft. right-of-way requested for Loop Road. In
response to a question from Commissioner Dornblaser he stated that
he did not feel there would be a problem with the streets being

constructed in the flood way as long as the excavating and street
surface is below the existing elevations, which will not constrict
water flow.
It was noted that the stipulations requested by the City Engineer
would need to be addressed before the plat could receive final plat
approval. He then described the nature of a retention basin and
its purpose of maintaining the present flow into the main ditch.
Discussion ensued as to the water flow with regard to retention and
City maintenance to the main ditch. City Engineer Reel related
that the retention basin will slow the flow of water and will not
cause extra maintenance to the ditch, adding that this will help
prevent a backup to Pinion Lane by regulating the flow.
Commissioner Elliott posed the question of on-going maintenance of
the retention basin.
City Engineer Reel related that it may become part of the common
areas suggesting that maintenance responsibility will be that of
the property owners association.
Commissioner Elliott expressed concerns with regard to the street
located in the flood way and the build-up of lots for house
construction being elevated so much higher than the street.
Commissioner Dornblaser related that the method of lot construction
occurring in Critter Hollow Subdivision is undesirable, adding that
it seems that one lot is at least five feet above the street grade.
He related that from past conversations he felt the consensus of
the Planning Commission was not favorable for this type of
development adding that he feels the plat before the Commission is
undesirable for the area mentioning a park across the street from
the development.
Mr. Green explained two methods of construction in elevating a
house above the flood plain for insurance purposes with regard to
FEMA guidelines; one, elevating the lot where the house is to be
constructed before construction begins and two, elevating the house
with blocks then landscaping around the house. He stated that
either method exempts the building for insurance purposes.
He went on to say that FEMA guidelines allow exemption of the
entire lot or exemption of the building.

REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
AUGUST 14, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:40 P.M.
He said that the area of Stonewall Phase VII would be developed
similar to Critter Hollow on the north side of Foxwood Drive. He
said that the area on which houses would be constructed and an area
fifteen, twenty, or thirty feet beyond would be elevated in order
not to remove all the trees. He explained that FEMA letters would
note that the house and not the lot would be out of the flood zone.
There was discussion regarding the effects of a 100 year flood,
heavy rains, ditches and water run-off. City Engineer Reel said
that the Stonewall ditch as it is will carry a lot of water.
City Engineer Reel said that he had not received calls regarding
flooding along Loop Road.
Commissioner Dornblaser voiced concerns regarding the aesthetics of
the subdivision and a stairstepping effect with regard to
construction of homes on the lots.
Commissioner Elliott voiced that he felt there are several things
which need to be worked out with the City Engineer including
ingress and egress on Loop Road and lot numbering before the plat
could be given approval.
Commissioner Elliott moved, seconded by Commissioner Piggee that
the plat of Stonewall Phase VII be tabled at this time. MOTION
CARRIED. Commissioner Gray voted NAY.
NON-AGEND ITEM:
FINAL PLAT/Foxwood Subdivision Phase X
Commissioner Piggee moved, seconded by Commissioner Elliott to
suspend the rules and place the Final Plat of Foxwood Phase X on
the agenda. MOTION CARRIED.
City Engineer Reel stated that letters of acceptance have not been
received from the Water and Sewer Departments.
He added that there is about a twenty foot portion of a curb in one
of the culdesacs that will have to be fixed due to a failure in a
water line which eroded the area.
Commissioner Gray voiced concern that all houses as built shall
face the thirty-five foot building line.
Commissioner Gray moved, seconded by Commissioner Elliott that the
Final Plat of Foxwood Phase X be APPROVED with the following
stipulation: that the Bill of Assurance set forth that all houses
face the thirty-five foot building line, Water and Sewer

Commissioner Gray questioned whether or not there was a legal
description for the tract of land proposed for construction and if
the immediate area had previously been platted.
After a short discussion ensued it was determined that the land was
owned by the Dupree family and has been sold on a piece meal basis
during the last five years.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 11, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:30 P.M.
Commissioner Gray then stated that he has no objection to the
proposed construction but would like to have a legal description
available so that the Planning Commission could review the
setbacks, side yards, and other code requirements of a metes and
bounds building permit request. He voiced concerns regarding the
piece meal development of the commercial area.
Mr. Buster Smith addressed the Planning Commission regarding the
request for a building permit. It was pointed out that the site
plan provided to the Planning Commission did not provide
information found on a survey drawing. Discussion ensued with
regard to setbacks with the entrance being off T.P. White Drive.
Mr. Smith agreed to change the side yard setbacks to the required
15 feet for this type of development.
The point was made by Commissioner Gray that there has been an act
of subdividing that has not been brought before the Planning
Commission. He stated that there should have been no recordation
of deeds without approval from the Planning Commission of tracts on
a metes and bounds subdivision unless it is 5 acres or more. He
stated that necessary information regarding a northern access is
not available because the land has not been properly subdivided.
Discussion ensued with some confusion over the proposed northern
access and easement adjacent to Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Commissioner Gray pointed out that the Planning Commission did not
have the right to allow a development which would bring traffic
through Kentucky Fried Chicken's property without their permission.
It was decided that the item of business would be delayed until
later in the meeting when Mr. Smith could return with a survey of
the same.
REQUEST TO APPROVE PLATS: PRELIMINARY PLAT / JAXON TERRACE

the City Engineer with regard to a street name change from Jones
Street to Puritan Drive as well as lot depth changes on lots 23
thru 32 from 143.92 to 150.00. He then added that the basic
geometries of the subdivision will not change.

Mr. Tommy Bond who serves on the Wastewater Commission related
efforts by the commission to develop a sewer plan for future growth
which will be a valuable tool for the city engineer with regard to
subdivision developments. He stated that it will provide
information regarding adequate sewer ability for proposed
subdivisions noting approximate acreage of some available areas
which could be developme in the City of Jacksonville with regard to
future growth for a five year sewer plan.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
MAIN STREET REVITALIZATION:
City Attorney Bamburg announced that Economic Development would
host a meeting Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. 12 September 1995 at the
Ramada Inn. He related that the architectural class from the
University of Fayetteville will be present to gather ideas and
formulate a street scape that will be prepared for the Main Street
Revitalization Program.
GENERAL BUSINESS: ORDINANCE 1048 (#11-95)
City Engineer Reel requested that the following changes be made:
Municipal Code chapter 12.24.110, making the minimum requirement
for sidewalks 2 feet from the back of the street curb.
Municipal Code chapter 18.44.030, adding to conditional uses the
term mini warehouses.
Commissioner Gray questioned Municipal Code chapter 15.12.050 and
the intent of the term permanent foundation. He questioned the
fairness with regard to the requirement of a permanent foundation
in an R-4 zone which permits a mobile home subdivision as well as
a commercial mobile home park.
Discussion ensued as to the requirements by FEMA that a
manufactured home have a permanent foundation at least 1 foot above
the base flood elevation.
3
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 11, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:30 P.M.
Commissioner Gray expressed concerns in that manufactured homes are
not always meant to be permanently placed, pointing out the expense
of constructing a permanent foundation or blocking up the mobile
structure, installing tie-downs, and removing the wheels. He stated
that the intent of the terminology "permanent foundation" needs to
be clarified.
City Attorney Bamburg offered that the code could be changed to
distinguish between regulations for a subdivision of mobile homes
and a commercial mobile home park with regard to the term
"permanent foundation" or the term itself could be designated under
definitions for better clarification.
City Engineer Reel cautioned that FEMA's definition of permanent
foundation should match that of the City because of ramifications
in the event a mobile home that is blocked and tied-down floods.
City Attorney Bamburg advised that could be taken into
consideration with regard to term clarification while providing
protection from anyone being caught in that type of circumstance.
Commissioner Gray stated that would address his concerns as long as
it did not require an FHA, VA full permanent foundation in a mobile
home park.
It was the consensus of the Commission that a ruling from FEMA
would be sought and that if the ruling is not received in a timely
fashion the ordinance would be submitted without that section.
City Attorney Bamburg requested clarification from the Commission
regarding Section 17.20.060(A)(B) dealing with cul-de-sac length.
Discussion ensued regarding Conway's ordinance which stated that a
cul-de-sac would serve no more than 44 lots with a maximum length
of 1120 feet.
Commissioner Dornblaser pointed out that the main concern would be
traffic adding that his cul-de-sac is lengthy but serves only a few
houses because of the size of the lots.
Mr. Tommy Bond commented that the overriding concern lS access for
emergency vehicles and cul-de-sac radius.
Commissioner Elliott reviewed Conway's requirements, adding that he
believed that a street length of 650 feet may have an exception if
the lot is wider than 90 feet; resulting in bigger lots and a
4

longer cul-de-sac. He stated that they are addressing the maximum
number of living units located on a cul-de-sac.
Chairman Brannen suggested leaving the code as is calling for the
special circumstances to warrant an extension of cul-de-sac length.
Discussion ensued regarding Section 17.20.060(B) as to the
geometric design problems which occur with a property line radius
of no less than sixty feet. Mr. Tommy Bond suggested leaving the
dedicated right-of-way for the street at a 50 foot radius and build
the cul-de-sac at 47.5 feet leaving a 10 to 15 foot easement around
the property for utilities. He stated that a bigger paved cul-de-
sac can still be accomplished without increasing the right-of-way
width. It was disclosed that this would still provide the needed
paved area requested by Fire Chief Ezell. City Engineer Reel
pointed out that with a dedicated easement the 11.5 feet used to
install utilities will work out the same. Design changes were also
discussed as an additional avenue for widening the cul-de-sac.
Municipal Code Chapter 17, Section 17.20.060(B) will change to 47.5
foot paved, recommended as a street change under Section 17.24.040.
Discussion ensued as to the definition of a manufactured home,
Commissioner Gray quoted from page 200 Section 15.08.149 of the
Municipal Code Book. He then suggested that the definitions for
manufactured homes on page 275 be used to define, while Section
15.08.149 could be used to address flood management.
Commissioner Piggee moved, seconded by Commissioner Reed to
recommend to the City Council for passage consideration Ordinance
1048 (#11-95) deleting Section 15.12.050. MOTION CARRIED.
RESUME REQUEST FOR BUILDING PERMIT:
General location 1803 T.P. White behind Kentucky Fried Chicken
Discussion ensued regarding the private drive on the north side of
the property and the entrances proposed on the site plan.
Commissioner Gray stated that if it were an actual lot, meeting
with regulations for C-3 development, he felt the petitioner would
need to seek an access agreement with Kentucky Fried Chicken,
failing that, he stated that a new site plan would need to be
submitted with the access only on T.P. White Drive and all
vehicular traffic would need to be depicted as occurring inside the
l ot.

Mr. Smith related that boundry lines were re-surveyed when it was
determined that the proposed construction would not adequately fit
within a boundry line that would include half of the private drive.
He then stated that he has no agreement for use of the private
drive.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Brannen everyone
expressed consent and agreement with the request of 15 foot side
yard setbacks.
Commissioner Gray moved, seconded by Commissioner Reid that the
building permit be approved prior to the site plan being redesigned
for vehicular traffic and parking with access from T.P. White only
or get a letter of agreement between himself and Mr. Tommy Dupree
with regard to use and access of the private drive indicated on the
map before the Commission. MOTION CARRIED.
Commissioner Gray related that the Planning Commission should not
approve a site plan that would put traffic onto a neighboring piece
of property without them knowingly accepting that arrangement.
APPOINTMENT:
RESIGNATION LETTER FROM LESLIE BELDEN:
Chairman Brannen read a letter from Commission Belden relating that

Vice-Chairman Gray opened the Planning Commission meeting and made
the following comments. He stated that part of the normal business
of the Planning Commission is to conduct public hearings. He
related that the Planning Commission voted to set a public hearing
for the regularly scheduled meeting of October regarding the

Preliminary Plat/Stonewall Phase VII
Vice Chairman Gray related that during the August 14th meeting the
plat was tabled and now requires a motion to re-open the item of
business.
Commissioner Dornblaser moved, seconded by Commissioner Reid to
take the Preliminary Plat of Stonewall Subdivision Phase VII off
the table and discuss the item of business. MOTION CARRIED.
It was noted by Vice Chairman Gray and City Engineer Reel that the
plat being provided for review correctly represents changes
requested by the Engineering Department.
It was pointed out by Commissioner Elliott that there has never
been an approved Sketch Plat for the subdivision.
Acting Chairman Gray gave the following overview of the history of
the plat; (1) presentation in December 1994, tabled at that time
for presentation in January but withdrawn by sponsor before the
meeting ( 2) presentation of a preliminary plat of Stonewall
Subdivision Phase VII in August 1995 at which time the plat was
tabled for several reasons as set forth in the minutes of said
meeting.
He said that Mr. Dick Olson, President of the Stonewall Property
Owners Association stated that legal council had informed them that
eighty percent of the property owners in the existing phases of
Stonewall would be required to approve the acceptance into the
association with regard to the subdivision proposed by Mr. Green.
He said that the Association has issued a statement in June that
they are not in agreement with any addition to Stonewall at this
time adding that the letter was an opinion with no binding legal
affect. He pointed out that the plat has no legal standing,
namewise, with the rest of Stonewall at this point.
Acting Chairman Gray related that at present there is a mandatory
fee structure and benefits to those property owners in the existing
Stonewall Subdivision.
Mr. Tommy Bond informed the Commission that Mr. Green recently did
a mail out and that he has received 140 written approvals so far.
He said that he will pursue the issue and try to get the 400
signatures required for acceptance of the addition.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
OCTOBER 9, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:55 P.M.
Commissioner Foster questioned the responsibility for maintenance
with regard to the retention pond.
Mr. Bond related that drainage improvements within subdivisions
become the responsibility of the City.
City Engineer Reel related that drainage retention will have to be
a consideration with any future development within the City because
of problems in the past. He said that the concept has been to get
all the water off leaving existing subdivisions down from that
development to suffer the extra drainage. He related that the
retention basin concept is being considered by other cities, adding
that due to growth in the City developments will have to retain and
contain all the drainage. He pointed out that the retention basis
will be mowed and maintained in the same fashion as the rest of the
drainage improvements in the City. He stated that it would be a
city requirement and for city maintenance. He related that a
retention basin will hold drainage during rains and then release
them downstream at no greater rate than experienced before the
development occurred. He explained the different methods for
construction of a retention basin and how they work, adding that
the basin would be designed to hold a 1 in 50 year rain with pipes
designed to hold a 1 in 10 year rain which is basically what drop
inlets, curbs and cutters are designed to do today. He estimated
that there are two to three acres involved in the retention area
which would have to be mowed. He stated that the retention basin
will have to be constructed in the flood plain, not the flood way
explaining that the flood way cannot be disturbed unless you
excavate or lower present elevation. ·
Commissioner Dornblaser and Foster raised concerns regarding the
two exits from the proposed development. It was estimated that the
exits ontp Berkshire and Loop Road would create excess traffic.
\
Discussion ensued as to the location of the access onto Loop Road
with regard to the location of the access onto Loop Road from
Ferrell Drive. It was determined by City Engineer Reel that the
best location for the proposed access onto Loop Road from the
development would be directly across from the Ferrell Drive access.
He said that the ideal intersection is ninety (0) degrees.
He related that the proposed four-lane process will extend from
Linda Lane to North First Street along Loop Road with two lanes
tapered to Berkshire Drive. He said that possibly two more phases
will extend to Graham Road at which time he suggested that a
traffic light at Berkshire Dr., Linda Lane, Northeastern and Graham
Road will probably be installed.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
OCTOBER 9, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:55 P.M.
City Engineer Reel related that there is a piece of private
property located between Stonewall Park and Loop Road.
He stated that there were no waivers requested when the plat of
Stonewall Phase VII was presented in August. He pointed out that
he requested that the access be changed as presented, getting it
further south away from Berkshire Drive. He said that there were
concerns regarding the retention basins with regard to drainage.
He related that lot sizes are larger than required and that there
are no design flaws in the plat before the Commission.
Concerns regarding traffic were voiced by Commissioner Patton,
Foster and Elliott. There was discussion regarding ingress and
egress off Loop Rd and Berkshire and it was noted that there are
thirty lots in this phase of the subdivision. There were concerns
also regarding length and radius of culdesacs.
Mr. Tommy Bond voiced that the developer is willing to commit to
developing a street opening on Loop Road if the Commission so
desires in the development of Phase 1. It was suggested that the
street accommodate Ferrell Drive which opens onto Loop Rd. on the
North side.
City Engineer Reel said that the Commission needs to be sure that
a second outlet on Loop Rd. does not offset or become close to
Green Acres Rd., that it should be placed further to the east.
Acting Chairman Gray pointed out that there are approximately four
hundred houses in Stonewall at present with four outlets comparing
said ingress and egress with the plat under discussion.
It was the general consensus of the Commission that there is no
need to improve Berkshire Drive with curb and gutter at this time.
Commissioner Reid in voicing his opinion with regard to Ferrell
Drive said that he did not feel there was enough room for a second
ingress, egress on to Loop Road from the proposed subdivision.
Mr. Bond related that he did not feel that criteria used to justify
a traffic signal relating to the development is met at this point.
He pointed out that the major traffic generator is the school on
Linda Lane, which is to be improved to a four-lane street, adding
that he felt traffic on Loop Road would drop considerably upon
completion of the project.

Commissioner Dornblaser mentioned the matter of construction in a
floodway or a floodplain and bringing said construction into
compliance with rules and regulations giving as an example Critter
Hollow a development by Mr. Green in Foxwood. He expressed that
he, along with others in the City, do not favor the concept
pointing out that there is no legal ordinance to stop such
construction.

comments regarding the
The consensus of the Commission was as follows; that a second
entrance at Ferrell Drive would serve the subdivision best, 50'
street right of way with a 48' paved street regarding culdesacs,
and that the retention ponds be constructed to the satisfaction of
the City Engineer. The engineer suggested that the entire basin be
constructed in the first phase. He pointed out that the Bill of
Assurance should reflect that the area of the retention basin be
reserved for drainage structures with possibly an easement drawn up
for the area giving the city access for maintenance of the area.
He suggested that the legal description of the basin be included in
the development of Phase I with property ownership reserved by a
Property Owners Association.
Commissioner Elliott raised a question regarding open drainage
ditches in future subdivision developments.
City Engineer Reel voiced that open ditches will not be allowed any
more. He said that catch basins and pipes will have to be put in
any time private property is involved because conduits will be
closed. He related that when residents move in and fences are put
up the city is not able to get equipment into the area for
maintenance. He said that this concept will be complied with
before final approval will be given from the engineering department
regarding the development of a subdivision.
It was noted by Mr. Bond that, due to the expense involved in the
planning for water and sewer, plans were not submitted by the
developer before approval of the Preliminary Plat. He pointed out
that in the past several years the Planning Commission has approved
preliminary plats without approval from the Water and Sewer
Commissions.
Commissioner Elliott pointed out that the Planning Commission has
the option to deal with the water and sewer at the time of
Preliminary Plat submission or at a later date.

Mr. Tonuny Bond related that water and sewer plans are already
drawn, that there will be no open ditches and that the details of
street and drainage plans will be put together in the inunediate
future.
City Engineer Reel explained how a decision is arrived at regarding
traffic signal installation. He said that it takes a lot of
traffic over an extended length of time to warrant installation of
a traffic light. He said that care must be taken to follow state
and federal guidelines of those who will be contributing money to
such projects.
He pointed out the number of homes in the Stonewall Subdivision
with four outlets and one of those signalized, in comparison to the
ingress and egress for the subdivision under consideration.
Commissioner Piggee moved, seconded by Commissioner Foster to
approve the Preliminary Plat of Stonewall Phase VII subject to
compliance with the requirements of the office of the City Engineer
with the following stipulations: an additional street with an exit
on Loop Rd. across from Ferrell Drive, the culdesac design to show
improvement radius of 48 ft. of pavement, final approval by the
Planning Commission on the plans for streets and drainage including
the retention pond which is to be presented at the next regular
meeting of the Planning Commission. Commissioner Elliott

T.P. White Drive to 1000 Madden Road from C-1 to C-3.
(Petitioners: Buford Latta, Wilma L. Smith, Jerry Leggitt, Peggy
Leggitt, Louise Bostic)
Chairman Brannen voiced the request, opened the public hearing, and
asked that there be one spokesman for each side of the issue.
Representative Mike Wilson carne forward to speak for the
petitioners of the rezoning request. He explained that the
property at issue is already zoned C-1 and that the request before
the commission is for the rezoning of four of the five lots at the
location to C-3, highway commercial.
He explained that the property is owned by the children of Mr. Rob
Latta. He said that the easternmost lot, number 5, owned by Mrs.
Bostic, is not included in the rezoning request.
He said that the property has been zoned commercial for
approximately thirty (30) years. He mentioned that before that
time, Mr. Latta built some apartments and operated a mobile home
park on the parcel belonging to him noting that his water bill is
paid in the name of Latta Trailer Park. He said that there is
thought that the use could be resumed if so desired.
He said that the request is to rezone the property to its best and
reasonable use which will not interfere with the enjoyment of his
neighbors any more that it is now. He said that there is a
potential sale for a quiet business, glass shop and framing
business, which exists at present for the westernmost lot belonging
to Mr. Latta.
He asked the Commission to consider that an owner of property which
adjoins commercial property is entitled, as a matter of law, to
utilize that property in a commercial fashion.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
SPECIAL PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
OCTOBER 30, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:15 P.M.
Mr. Mackie Pierce spoke as a representative for area residents in
Woodland Heights, Dennis Martindale and Randy Vincent who oppose
the rezoning.
He pointed out the C-1 regulations as set forth in the Jacksonville
Municipal Code noting that said zoning acts as a buffer between
residential and concentrated commercial areas. He said that all
sides are bordered by residential properties and contended that C-1
is the highest and best use of the property.
He pointed out that single family residences surround the property
requested to be rezoned and that new development of homes to the
east of the property is for single family residences as well.
Mr. Richard Steven Tomboli, 812 Madden Rd., spoke for area
residents on Linda Lane and Madden Road. He voiced agreement with
the statements of Mr. Pierce. He presented a petition signed by
persons who opposed the rezoning as well as pictures of existing
problems due to commercial business operations along T.P. White
Drive which back up to the rear yard of some residences along Linda
Lane and Linda Cove.
He expressed that the residents are not opposed to growth in the
city, pointing out that they are concerned with property values.
He said that he felt that nothing listed in C-3 zoning could
do anything good for the neighborhood. He related that a like
request was made in 1981 for rezoning the property requesting that
the same decision to deny the request be made by the Commission at
this time.
Chairman Brannen closed the public hearing at this time, 7:18 p.m.
Commissioner Bart Gray Jr. asked for clarification of the parcels
requested for rezoning pointing out that the easternmost lot is not
to be rezoned with a tract of ground between that lot and those up
for rezoning. He pointed out that acreage of the four parcels is
approximately eleven (11) acres owned by related parties.
He expressed concerns regarding the development plan for the
proposed rezoning mentioning that there is a pending sale of Mr.
Latta's property. He pointed out that development plans for
parcels under five acres are required to come before the Planning
Commission to ensure proper subdivision development.
Commissioner Elliott clarified that there is no intended use of the
parcels other than Mr. Latta's property. He noted that 300 ft. off
Madden Rd. accommodates residences and is not a buffer.

SPECIAL PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
OCTOBER 30, 1995
7:00P.M. -8:15P.M.
After a question by Commissioner Foster, Attorney Wilson read the
decision handed down in state law previously mentioned in these
minutes and pointed out that it does not distinguish between
different classifications of commercial zoning.
He related that the intended use of the property up for rezoning is
a joint effort of a husband and wife in a glass door and windshield
repair business plus custom picture framing.
Mr. Bob Steven, 26 Woodland Drive voiced that he and other property
owners do not wish to take the loss with regard to their property
values in comparison to the gain to the owners of the property up
for rezoning. He pointed out that he felt that C-3 development
would change the whole character of the area requesting that
residential development be given utmost consideration.
There was a general discussion during which Commissioner Gray
pointed out that once a parcel is rezoned, the Commission does not
have the right to question what goes in if it fits the zoning
classification. He noted concern for residents pointing out that
privacy fences and noise control should be given consideration.
It was related by Commissioner Gray and City Attorney Bamburg that
C-2 zoning would not accommodate the intended use of the parcel,
that a Board of Adjustment hearing would be required to approve the
auto glass shop. Commissioner Gray voiced that he felt the request
should be downgraded to C-2 if it could be, pointing out that the
Board of Adjustment could grant approval for an auto repair shop in
a Conditional Use. He said that he would not be in favor of
addressing the rezoning of three of the parcels without a
development plan. He explained that controls are still maintained
on the parcel by the Planning Commission through the process of
obtaining a building permit in that it is a metes and bounds
legally described parcel. He pointed out that fencing and
screening could be addressed at that time.
The petitioners were given opportunity to change the rezoning
request. After discussion, all petitioners except Mr. Buford Latta
withdrew their requests. Mr. Latta chose to request a C-2
classification for his parcel of land.
Commissioner Gray requested that the chair recognize the withdrawal
of the three easternmost parcels and recommended that the
Commission address only Mr. Buford Latta's parcel. Chairman Brannen
acknowledged the request. Commissioner Gray also suggested that a
development plan accompany any request presented in the future
regarding the three parcels deleted.

CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS
SPECIAL PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
OCTOBER 30, 1995
7:00 P.M. -8:15 P.M.
Commissioner Gray moved that the three easternmost parcels be
deleted from the request as advertised and posted, and that C-2
zoning be APPROVED for the parcel, now zoned C-1, owned by Mr.
Buford Latta.
Other requests to deny the rezoning was voiced by various property
owners in the audience.
Chairman Brannen read Jacksonville Municipal Code requirements with
regard to C-2 zoning.
Commissioner Dornblaser pointed out that the request is unusual,
noting the residential needs as well as the highway commercial
development access relating that he sees the need for a buffer. He
said that issuing a building permit could offer some protection
with regard to fencing for residential areas.
More discussion ensued and a ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN BY CHAIRMAN
BRANNEN. Commissioners: Elliott, Gray and Piggee voted AYE.
Commissioners: Reid, Foster, Dornblaser and Patton voted NAY. THE
MOTION FAILED. THE REZONING WAS DENIED.
Chairman Brannen pointed out that the request can be brought before
the City Council.
Commissioner Gray pointed out that three tracts were not addressed

Mr. Tommy Bond voiced that it would not, that it is a swale and at
the maximum point it is 3.3 ft. deep and will be easy to mow.
He added that it will hold water only when it rains. He stated
that it will accomplish the request from the Planning Commission
that the development not impact the current drainage in the area.
Discussion began regarding the request by the Planning Commission
to install a privacy fence along Loop Road. Mr. Bond related that
a privacy fence will add additional cost to the sale of lots in the
development.
Chairman Brannen requested that the item involving the approval of
the drainage concerns be resolved before moving on to other
requests from the Planning Commission.
City Engineer Reel requested that drop inlets and an 18' pipe be
installed at the curve in the western most street at the south side
of lot 508F in order to divert the flow of water from Berkshire
Drive and direct it toward the drainage retention basin and then
into the ditch. He discussed the desired performance of the
retention basin citing the effects of a retention basin near the
Air Force Base.
Mr. Bond related that with regard to the drainage request, he did
not see a problem.
Mr. Andy Timer expressed concerns regarding the retention basin as
an earthen ditch and inquired as to the responsibility of its
future maintenance.
City Engineer Reel related that other earthen structures located in
Northwood Acres and Pennpointe Subdivisions have not presented any
major problems. He stated that if properly constructed he did not
feel there would be any erosion type problems, adding that this is
amoung one of the first times such a structure has been addressed
by the Planning Commission.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Brannen, City Engineer
Reel related that maintenance responsibility can be dealt with in
the bill of assurance by the property owners or dedicated to and
maintained by the City, adding that nothing definite has been
decided.

City Engineer Reel related that drainage requests have been
addressed. Referring to a letter presented to the Commission he
stated that he has requested a privacy fence be constructed along
the right-of-way line of Loop Road. He said that he felt this
would offer control of back access to lots and act as a screen
along Loop Road. He then requested that the Bill of Assurance
state that no access to Berkshire Drive be allowed on an individual
basis.
Discussion ensued as to location of the privacy fence with regard
to projected future widening of Loop Road.
Commissioner Gray noted different developments in the City which
have used privacy fences as a method of screening.
Further discussion ensued regarding types of material that can be
used to construct a fence and consideration arose for constructing
a fence along Berkshire Drive also. Information regarding other
areas using privacy fences for separation or screening was then
discussed.
Mr. Andy Timer stated that he would like to register his support in
favor of a privacy fence along Loop Road and Berkshire Drive
because he felt it would be estheticlly beneficial. He then
expressed concerns regarding traffic from the proposed development
entering onto Berkshire Drive, which he felt is already very
congested at times.
Mr. Bond expressed his concerns regarding the additional cost of
constructing a privacy fence, which would be incurred in the lot
sale price.
Commissioner Dornblaser stated that he felt lot costs to be
secondary to the justification for the fence.
Discussion ensued regarding voting on the separate issues and
reasons for consideration regarding a privacy fence for Berkshire
Drive. A resident from the area suggested that a hedge row be used
as a noise barrier. Further consideration for maintenance of the
hedges was discussed as well as the uniformity of privacy fencing.
Discussion regarding each request ensued the following motions were
made.
Commissioner Foster moved that Phase VII of Stonewall be accepted
with a privacy fence going down Berkshire as related to the phase.
The motion died for lack of a second.

MOTION CARRIED.
Commissioner Gray voiced that he assumed that item four ( 4) as
presented by City Engineer Reel would be included in the motion.
"Drop inlets and an 18" pipe be installed at the curve in the
western most street at the south side of lot 508F. This is to
divert the flow of water from Berkshire Drive and direct it toward
the drainage retention basin."
It was pointed out by the City Attorney that items one, two and
three are not addressed in this motion.
Commissioner Dornblaser re-opened the requirement issue of a
privacy fence along Loop Road and Berkshire Drive. He commented on
the construction of a privacy fence or the hedge row alternative.
He asked for recommendations from the Engineering Department.
Commissioner Piggee questioned if the Bill of Assurance could
specify types of material used to construct the privacy fence.
City Engineer Reel cited an example regarding specifications
requested in building a bridge in Johnson Park six months ago. He
stated that penetrated lumber with a forty (40) year ground contact
guarantee was used and that repairs are now being sought to correct
a variety of problems with the lumber. He stated that it would be
hard to cover the variables with regard to using lumber.
Discussion ensued as to the maintenance responsibility, Bill of
Assurance capabilities and material request.
Commissioner Foster moved, seconded by Commissioner Reid that a
privacy fence be required on Berkshire and Loop Road with regard to
Stonewall Phase VII, asking that the Bill of Assurance state that
the property owner will be responsible for the maintenance of said
fence. MOTION CARRIED.
Developer Jim Green suggested that the Commission deal with the
issue of fencing at a later date pointing out that the drainage
issue was what he brought before the Commission.
The motion stood as passed.
A discussion ensued as to the time the fence should be constructed,
before or after construction of the dwelling planned for the lot.
