He related that the zoning will support single family residential construction which is the intent of the petitioner. Commissioner Dornblaser inquired as to the intent of road development with regard to adjoining property owners. 3 CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 10, 1994 7:00P.M. -7:45 P.M. Mr. Bart Gray related that the sketch plat by Mr. Penn was designed originally with a culdesac and that he and Mr. Penn are in agreement with regard to the development of a street through Mr. Penn's proposed culdesac . He further related that the property owned by Mr. Leroy Akridge adjoins the proposed Growing Pines Subdivision from the opposite side and that there is the potential of a possible street development with Mr. Akridge who was also in agreement. Commissioner Dornblaser pointed out that with a subdivision of this size it is the practice of the Planning Commission to request two points of access. He suggested sketch plat approval with the stipulation that further development approval be contingent upon adequate access. Mr. Gray suggested a recommendation of phase approval with Planning Commission consideration in regard to agreement resulting in street development as the stipulation. He related that he would work toward agreements of access with the adjacent property owners. Chairman Elliott invited participation from the public. Mrs. Norma Hollingshead of 1509 Stanphill expressed concerns with regard to traffic flow. She explained that the street leading to Military Road was a short street expressing concerns with regard to the increase of traffic and future development. Mr. Gray related that the intent is to develop the first phase along Southeastern adding that the second phase would be contingent on the sale of the first phase with an overall estimated development time span of five years. Mrs. Anna Bernard of 1512 Stanphill, and Lori and Mike Tapp of 1417 Stanphill Road expressed their support for Mrs. Hollingshead's statement. Commissioner Dornblaser clarified that the Sketch Plat is only Mr. Gray's indication of his intentions for the property and that approval of the Sketch Plat does not indicate approval of the entire subdivision by the Planning Commission. He related that the property is zoned for the intended use proposed by Mr. Gray. Chairman Elliott related that the area is zoned for multi-family development while Mr. Gray's intent is for single family residential development, reviewing public concerns over density and increased traffic flow for different kinds of development. 4 If CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 10, 1994 7:00 P.M. -7:45 P.M. Mrs. Hollingshead further expressed traffic concerns for the area. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Piggee in regard to future plans for the area, City Engineer Reel related that the Hwy Department has no intent to change the situation at Stanphill Road that he is aware of. Chairman Elliott related that the proposed development for most of the lots in phase one of the subdivision would be accessed from Southeastern with only a few lots using Stanphill Road as an access. Conunissioner Brannen moved, seconded by Conunissioner Green to ACCEPT the Sketch Plat of Growing Pines Subdivision with the stipulation for an additional entrance to the subdivision. MOTION CARRIED. Commissioner Reid asked if the situation could be monitored with regard to a solution to the traffic problems of the area. City Engineer Reel related that a tabulated list of accidents involving Hwy 294 and Stanphill Road could be submitted to the Hwy Department for consideration with regard to safety improvements. b. Sketch Plat-Replat/Foxwood Country Club Petitioner Ted Belden City Engineer Reel related that the Foxwood Country Club desires to split the lot adjacent to the Country Club property for development and sale. He further related that the owner of the adjacent corner lot also desires a lot split. He then related that he was unaware of how utilities would be provided to the lots adding that street cuts have not been allowed in the last year due to re-paving of Foxwood Drive. He further related that the Bill of Assurance may not support a lot split. Mr. Tommy Bond related that the Bill of Assurance for Foxwood Phase Three requires signatures of two-thirds of the residents to approve a split of lot 168 before it can be brought before the Planning Commission. He related that the Country Club desires to split a lot that is a part of the original golf course which is not subject to the Foxwood Bill of Assurance adding that sewer and water is available from Foxwood Cove with regard to the utilities access. 5 CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 10, 1994 7:00 P.M. -7:45 P.M. Mr. Ted Belden related that his understanding of the Bill of Assurance requested signature approval from a Property Owners Association which to his understanding, does not exist. Mr. Bond read from the Bill of Assurance. Mr. Crosby the owner of lot 168 stated that the lot subdivided would retain 150 foot frontage and 100 foot frontage on an additional lot which he noted to be more than the lots currently being developed in the Foxwood Subdivision. Commissioner Dornblaser moved, seconded by Commissioner Piggee to APPROVE the Sketch Plat-Replat with the stipulation that it is in compliance with the Bill of Assurance as deter.mined by the City Attorney. MOTION CARRIED. Discussion ensued as to the future development plans for the down town Main Street area.

APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES: Regular Planning Commission Meeting/January 10, 1994 Commissioner Dornblaser moved, seconded by Commissioner Piggee that the minutes of January 4, 1994 be APPROVED. MOTION CARRIED. It was pointed out by Mr. Dornblaser that an item mentioned in the minutes regarding the future development along Main Street was not on the agenda and requested that it be discussed at the appropriate time during the meeting. It was requested that the item be placed on the next agenda (March) along with a request to City Engineer Reel to contact Metroplan and have a representative present to discuss Main Street building restrictions and development and advise the Commission. REQUESTS TO SET UP PUBLIC HEARINGS: No requests were submitted. REQUESTS TO APPROVE BUILDING PERMITS: None were submitted. REQUESTS TO APPROVE PLATS: Preliminary Plat/Deer Creek Subdivision Outside the City Chairman Elliott read the letter from Mr. McKimmey regarding two variances included in the Preliminary Plat Approval request; Lot 47 is requested with a 15 ft. front setback and a culdesac which 1 2./ CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 7:00 P.M. 7:55 P.M. exceeds the five hundred foot maximum distance permitted i n the Jacksonville Municipal Code. City Engineer Reel explained that he desires that the lot requested for a 15 ft. front setback meet the 25 ft. front setback requirement and that the long culdesac be allowed. He pointed out that the County will see the plat after the Jacksonville Planning Commission deals with it. He related that the County will look after the streets, that the water is served by the City of North Little Rock and sewer by the sewer approval district in Gravel Ridge. He said that basically, the Commission is looking at street design and geometry of the culdesac as it relates to the subdivision. There was discussion regarding emergency vehicles in relation to the length of the culdesac. City Engineer Reel pointed out that proper radius of the culdesac would take care of a situation with normal emergency equipment. He said that the rules and regulations used in the subdivision development were set in the early sixties by the University of Arkansas for small cities establishing Planning Commissions. It was the consensus of the group that the culdesac is actually about 800 feet making a variance of 300 feet requ~sted according to the Jacksonville Municipal Code. Mr. McKimmey related that the plat is the last development of Green Valley Development. Engineer Reel said that the par cel is the last usable property in the area and that the design of the culdesac is proposed due to the terrain. It was pointed out by Commissioner Dornblaser that it has been the practice to mark lots falling within the flood plain with an F and suggested that lots 24, 25 and 26 be designated in the same way.

DISCUSSION: Annexation of Property between Jacksonville and Sherwood City Engineer Reel voiced that efforts by the Chairman of the Planning Commission of Sherwood, the Mayor and property owners, who requested to be annexed to the City of Sherwood in the area along Highway 67/167, seem to have made it a moot issue with regard to Jacksonville's requesting the annexation of certain properties into the city. He said that Mr. Dupree, who owns some property off Lucy Lane, does not want to be a part of Sherwood and that the City of Sherwood has agreed to revise the legal description granting freedom to the City of Jacksonville to annex the property. He said that two other parcels indicated on a map before the commission should be considered for annexation into the city and that a parcel along Loop Road should be included in the effort. There was general discussion regarding the annexation process and areas that might be annexed into the City of Jacksonville. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that City Engineer Reel compile the data needed to present the parcels to the City Council for annexation into the city. DISCUSSION: MAIN STREET DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING RESTRICTIONS Commissioner Dornblaser voiced his concerns regarding Main Street and the possibility of imposing building restrictions with regard to its development. City Attorney Bamburg pointed out that some restrictions can be placed, that some things would have to be "Grandfathered" in under present restrictions and related that the task will not be an easy one. After a general discussion the consensus of the Planning Commission was that City Engineer Reel contact Metroplan and Main Street Arkansas requesting that a representative meet with the Planning Commission with regard to guidelines for improving the area . 3 CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 7:00 P.M. 7:55 P.M.

MOTION CARRIED. City Engineer Reel presented a plat with regard to a request to place a double-wide mobile home on a parcel on Cloverdale Road approximately 300 feet west of Highway 161 on the north side of the road and adjoining the Wastewater Treatment Plant on the east property line. He pointed out that a couple of years ago, the parcel was rezoned from residential to mobile home classification (R-4) and that the Dupree's now want to set a double-wide mobile home on the far east end of the property. He related that a deal was made many years ago between the Dupree's and the Wastewater Utility that the department would get the lots 1 CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 14, 1994 7:00 P.M. -8:00 P.M. platted for a subdivision adding that before the swap was completed, Mr. Dick Morris expired. He noted that he related to Mr. Dupree that plat work will have to be submitted to the Planning Commission. He said that the request at this time is to place a double-wide mobile home on the two far east lots legally described by metes and bounds. City Engineer Reel related that Mr. Dupree would submit a layout for the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission Meeting adding that documentation of the arrangements between the Sewer Commission, Dick Morris and Mr. Dupree needs to be located for the present supervisor, Dick VanPelt, of Wastewater Utility. Discussion ensued as to the intent of an Ordinance passed by the City Council regarding placement of mobile homes. It was noted that the property has been properly zoned for manufactured housing. Chairman Elliott related that the question before the Commission is to approve a building permit without subdividing the land. City Engineer Reel related the desire by the petitioner to sell lots for mobile home use. Commissioner Brannen moved, seconded by Commissioner Foster to table the item of business until the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission Meeting at which time Mr. Dupree should submit a plat of the land. Discussion ensued as to the type of hardship this would present to Mr. Dupree. City Engineer Reel related that the hardship would be due to the fact that Mr. Dupree has already ordered placement of the structure on the property. ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Foster, Brannen, Green, Dornblaser, and Patton voted AYE. Commissioner Piggee voted NAY. Motion received five (5) affirmative votes and one (1) NAY. MOTION CARRIED.

REQUEST TO APPROVE PLATS: a. PRELIMINARY PLAT/GROWING PINES SUBDIVISION Petitioner: Bart Gray and Thad Gray City Engineer Reel related that the preliminary plat meets all the criteria with regard to zoning for single family residences adding there is a request for a 30 ft. building line instead of the standard 35 ft. building line. He noted that, in his opinion, only three lots could justify the request. Mr. Tim Lemons, from Bond Engineering, representing the item of business, voiced that other area cities have a standard 30 ft. front setback for R-1 zoning. Commissioner Art Brannen voiced concern regarding ingress and egress for the subdivision. Mr. Lemons expressed that between lots 28 and 29 allowance has been made for a street to tie into the Penn Subdivision now being developed on Southeastern Avenue. Mr. Lemons explained that lots 19, 20, 21 and lot 31 would be significantly impacted if the 30 ft. building line is not granted. It was pointed out that several lots would exceed the 35 ft. setback due to the shape of the lots in the culdesac. There was a discussion regarding the development of the two subdivisions and the reason for a 30 ft. setback with comments from Mr. Bart Gray Jr. He related conversation between himself and Mr. Penn with regard to the streets meeting as developments are completed. He pointed out other developments in which stems have been included in plats which will connect as adjoining parcels are developed. He said that the Planning Commission requested a stem in the Growing Pines Subdivision which is included in the Preliminary Plat and that Mr. Penn agreed to undo a culdesac in his development and plat a stem to match the one in the plat before the Commission. He said that he is not aware of the time frame for development of the Penn Subdivision adding that with development of the Growing Pines Subdivision, it could make the Penn Subdivision more valuable and that it might be developed sooner. City Engineer Reel said that lots 19, 20 and 21 would be adversely affected with imposing the 35 ft. building line setback and culdesac lots 9 thru 14 and 3 thru 8 would need to be accepted with a 25 ft. setback. Other discussion included placement of houses on different lots in relation to setbacks. 3 CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 14, 1994 7:00 P.M. -8:00 P.M. City Engineer Reel briefed the Conunission with regard to the development of properties and added that proper arrangements have been made by Mr. Penn and Mr. Gray with regard to their subdivision plats. He said that accesses will be completed when the development scheme is complete. He pointed out the land locked situation on Braden St. due to the Vertac issue adding that seldom does such things happen. He also related the development of Northwood Acres Subdivision. Mr. Gray voiced that the first development would encompass 35 lots which would not create a bottle neck condition with regard to the ingress and egress. He related that the main objective of a 35 ft. setback as related to him by Mr. T. P. White is for the purpose of parking two cars end to end adding that his plans are to have double drive ways with double garages as part of the Bill of Assurance. Commissioner Dornblaser moved, seconded by Commissioner Brannen to APPROVE the Preliminary Plat of the Growing Pines Subdivision as submitted with the stipulation that lots 19, 20 and 21 have a 30 ft. setback while lots 9-14 and 3-8 in the culdesacs have a 25 ft. setback with all other lots having a 35 ft. setback. MOTION CARRIED. b. Re-Plat of Lot 66 of the Tara Mount Subdivision City Engineer Reel related that when Tara Mount Subdivision was developed a large tract of land was included in lot 66 which was owned by the developer Albert Johnson. He related the desire to now split the lot for the purpose of building a home on the proposed lot 66b adding that all the utilities are ready to serve the new lot. He related that the dimension of the lot will support a sizable structure. Chairman Elliott related that it meets all requirements with a 50 ft. building line setback. Commissioner Green moved, seconded by Commissioner Piggee to ACCEPT the Re-Plat of Lot 66 of the Tara Mount Subdivision as submitted. MOTION CARRIED. 4 ;jO CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 14, 1994 7:00 P.M. -8:00 P.M. DISCUSSION: MAIN STREET ARKANSAS/Downtown Revitalization City Engineer Reel related that after speaking with Metroplan he contacted Main Street Arkansas who stated that from their point of view an upgrade of this type would take a concerted effort from the Chamber of Commerce, Planning Commission, and the Property owners along Main Street. He related that he has received information with several suggestions, one being Main Street Arkansas, who would be willing to suggest ways to organize the revitalization efforts. He said that the process wouldn't be easy, that it would be long and that property owners would need to be involved. He related that he didn't think the city has the authority to make requirements like when and how much of a driveway to pour. He said that a public hearing would be in order to get business establishments along Main Street involved. City Attorney Bamburg voiced that when the desires of the Planning Commission are clear, an ordinance could be drawn up and presented for passage. He explained that classifications of zoning could be categorized and that future, not present, developments would be affected. The consensus of the commission was that a committee be formed. City Engineer Reel pointed out that some manufacturing as well as commercial zoning exists along Main Street. He said that districts should be set up in the process. City Attorney Bamburg voiced that efforts through the Chamber of Commerce did not get off the ground due to lack of funding among other things. Chairman Elliott asked for volunteers for the Main Street Revitalization Committee. Commissioners Foster and Brannen volunteered from the Planning Commission, Mr. Bart Gray Jr. volunteered to serve as a citizen at large. Mrs. Leslie Belden who has been placed before the City Council to fill a position on the Planning Commission was present for the meeting and volunteered her services on the committee. Chairman Elliott suggested that Mrs. Rona Scott and Phil Sullivan from the Economic Development Department be asked to serve as well as Diana Gunlock from the Chamber of Commerce and Jerry Halsell, Industrial Specialist.

City Engineer Reel related that R-5 zoning does not have a minimum square footage with regard to construction, however, it does have a minimum square footage for the lot size.

Discussion ensued regarding the Bill of Assurance and restrictions of an R-5 zoning along with zoning standards regarding future development.

REQUEST TO APPROVE PLATS: Sketch & Preliminary Plat/Stonewall Phase VII Chairman Elliott related that the petitioner Mr. Jim Green has requested that the plat name be changed to Green Acres Subdivision. City Engineer Reel related that he would be giving consideration to the flood plain encroachments. He related that the geometries fit the Planning Commission requirements and that the development has two proposed entrances one from Berkshire Drive and one from Loop Road. He related that the City Engineer's office is requesting that a fence be constructed with regard to the lots that back up to Loop Road. He related that after looking at the contour map he doesn't believe the basic drainage pattern will be altered that much, however, the runoff will get to the ditch quicker due to the asphalt and paving as a consequence of the construction. He related that with regard to the culdesac construction and the ditch location there is a certain area reserved that is actual flood way that cannot be built on. It was related in discussion that the items not checked on the sketch plat have been addressed on the preliminary plat. 1 CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DECEMBER 12, 1994 7:00 P.M. -8:30 P.M. Mr. Green related that the name change was due to the fact that he was undecided as to the development scheme being that of Stonewall Subdivision or that of the neighboring subdivision of the Ferrell Addition. He related that he is moving ahead with plans at this time because of a need to excavate dirt for another project. He stated that for that reason he is going to assume that it will be named Green Acres and be in conformity with that of the Ferrell Addition and not considered a part of Stonewall. He then related that assuming that it is developed as a part of the Ferrell Addition the homes would average in size of 1,000 to 1,200 square feet. City Engineer Reel related with regard to culdesac length one culdesac in the development has a side street which cuts down on the total length of the culdesac. He related that with regard to the number of lots of the proposed development the City will require that the street extending from the last culdesac be constructed further east making a connection onto Loop Road. He related that his primary concern in looking over the development plans is the construction of homes with regard to ditch location. Mr. Andy Timmer, a resident of the Stonewall Subdivision and member of the Stonewall Board of Directors Association, related that he and other homeowners have concerns over further development of the Stonewall Subdivision. He stated that it is his understanding from the old Bill of Assurance that Mr. Green must obtain agreement from a certain percentage of Stonewall Subdivision homeowners to develop any additions. He stated that in speaking for a large number of the homeowners, it is his understanding that they do not want further additions to the Subdivision in this area. He related that one concern is over the amount of traffic that will be funneled through to Berkshire Drive which will add to the already existing problem there. He then related that the area of Berkshire Drive is traveled by school children going to Pinewood Elementary School. He suggested possibly adding a road going out lots 528 and 529 or lots 532, 533 exiting directly onto Loop Road, which he feels would allow a better flow of traffic with a side walk in the area that would allow a little easier crossing. He informed the Planning Commission that as a resident of Amhurst Drive he has experienced 12 inches of standing water in his yard as a result of poor runoff within the Subdivision. He related that a future concern would be the quicker runoff to the ditch if construction is allowed. He stated that the ditch would fill up, then back up making this a major flooding concern for the residents in that area. 2 CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DECEMBER 12, 1994 7:00 P.M. -8:40 P.M. Chairman Elliott related that drainage will be one of the extensive concerns of the City. City Engineer Reel related that the ditch that drains the first two phases of Stonewall was widened and the flow characteristic were increased in order to prevent flooding in that area. He stated that it is a matter of maintaining the ditch section that is inhibited by the box culvert under the Union Pacific Railroad. He related that according to computations it is close to reaching the maximum drainage point that it can handle. He stated that with regard to the drainage problems experienced by Mr. Timmer, most of the flooding is caused by water corning off Stonewall Drive down Amhurst and that he also has experienced some problems in his back yard with sub-surface drainage. He related that work has been performed to eliminate much of the drainage problems. He related that the residents with concerns for drainage would be the ones with lots that back up to the ditch of phase I and II of Stonewall Subdivision. Discussion ensued as to the number of lots in the development that is located in the flood plain and the issue of flooding with regard to that development. City Engineer Reel related that there will be an impact with regard to the runoff in the area, which will involve maintenance on the main ditch located on the other side of the railroad crossing on Loop Road and proceeding east to the County line. He stated that the normal maintenance procedure is 2 1/2 to 3 years for cleaning out and maintaining the flow line of the ditch, adding that maintenance would have to be stepped up to every year with any new development. He stated that as long as the ditch is cleaned and maintained it would take an extended rain fall to cause problems. He related that with future development the main concern is to keep the vegetation down in the sod ditches and will eventually have to be paved in order to handle the water flow. Commissioner Dornblaser asked if Mr. Green would be willing to entertain some of the traffic solutions offered by Mr. Timmer. Mr. Green said he felt that traffic would be hindered by exiting onto Loop Road rather than Berkshire. He stated that he could not see a difference in the safety factor. He related that traffic may divert 1/2 mile toward the east end of the development which would eliminate some of the traffic problems around the high school. He stated that the main thoroughfare exiting onto Loop Road would have a sidewalk. 3 CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DECEMBER 12, 1994 7:00 P.M. -8:40 P.M. Mr. Timmer voiced concerns regarding the traffic through Stonewall to Stonewall Square and North First, adding that the traffic needs to be funneled to Loop which will expand in the future and can accommodate the traffic flow. He reminded the Commission of the increased commitment from the City that it will take to maintain the ditches if the development is permitted. He related that he felt adding more houses will only compound the existing drainage problems experienced by Stonewall residents. Discussion ensued with regard to the drainage flow and direction of runoff with construction of asphalt in the development. Commissioner Dornblaser asked if Mr. Green would consider re- directing the proposed street onto Loop Road instead of Berkshire. Mr. Green stated that he is not convinced that entering onto Loop is better alternative than Berkshire. Commissioner Piggee questioned if the item could be tabled for further study and bring back a report. He stated that it needs further consideration and time. Commissioner Piggee moved, seconded by Commissioner Dornblaser to table until the next scheduled meeting in January. Chairman Elliott related that Mr. Green will need input from the Planning Commission so that he will know how to proceed with his development plans. Two other residents from Stonewall were recognized and requested that a feasibility study be conducted to identify the degree of flooding problems in this area. at this time the MOTION CARRIED.

She related that the funding source is a national company based in Florida who works in 90 day increments.
