Comm. Gray said he had been made aware at last month 1 s meeting that the Planning
Commission had a budget, and he just wanted to know what the money was used for.
Finance Director Gene Kelley went over the financial statements and line items of ,

SAVERS COMMERCIAL PARK/FINAL PLAT APPROVAL:
City Engineer Bill Owens stated the Street & Engineering Committee met this after-
noon to discuss the driveway access onto Hwy. 161. The committee was more concerned
about the north driveway being so close to Martin Street. They had several sugges-
tions on this property which are: moving the north driveway back to lots 2 and 3
and dead end the driveway into lot 1; asking Humpty Dumpty Child Care Center to
close one of their driveways; and dedicate 20 1 right-of-way for future expansion
of Hwy. 161.
City Engineer Owens said he talked with Hodges, Vine and Fox, engineers on this
project, and they do not see any problem with moving the north driveway back to
lots 2 and 3 arid dead ending into lot 1. However, they would like to compromise
on the right of way and furnish 10 1 right-of-way instead of 20 1
• City Engineer
Owens stated in his opfinior;r this was fair enough. They will also post an $8,000.
bond to the City of Jacksonville for these improvements.
Comm. Gray felt if the south driveway was moved to lots 6 and 7 and dead end the
driveway into lot 8, it would help the traffic problems we have there now. It
would allow the traffic to get off the road and stop rather than stop on the high-
way and back up traffic.
Comm. Gray moved, seconded by Comm. Snethern, to approve the final plat with the
following changes:
1. move the north driveway between lots 2 and 3 and dead end the driveway into
l ot 1;
2. move the south driveway between lots 6 and 7 and dead end the driveway into
lot 8;
3. that 10 1 additional driveway right-of-way be dedicated on the east side of
highway 161 for future expansion;
4. and that they post an $8,000.00 bond to the City of Jacksonville.
Approved by unanimous voice vote. MOTION CARRIED. (Mr. Bob Lowe, representing
Hodges, Vine and Fox, said the bond would be posted in the next sixty (60) days.)

APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:

8, 1982, as published. Approved by unanimous voice vote . MOTION CARRIED.
DISCUSSION: DUPLEX DRIVEWAYS/EAST MARTIN & APPROXIMATELY 140' OF STONEWALL DRIVE:
Chrm. Betts informed the . commissioners that City Eng. Owens had talked with Savers
and met with the Street and Engineering Committee of the City Council, concerning
access onto Hwy. 161 from this duplex. Their recommendation to the Planning Comru
is to deny access onto Hwy. 161 because it is in violation of city ordinance.
Keep in mind, at some time in the future, Hwy. 161 will be widened to a 4-lane and
we need to keep enough for right-of-way. The problem is the property from Stonewall
to Martin is all unplatted and zoned R-3. It was sold on a meets and bounds
description, and containes about 3 acres. Savers (owner) does not know how it will
be divided or how it will be developed. They have been asked to work with us in
getting access to this property. City Eng. Owens stated he just wanted the comm-
ission to be aware of what had transpired and he would keep them informed.
DEVIATION IN AGENDA: UPDATE FROM CHARLES RANDAL/METROPLAN:
As it was not yet 8:00p.m. and time for the scheduled public hearing, Mr. Charles
Randal from Metroplan addressed the commission.
Mr. Randal spoke to the membership on the Comprehensive Development Plan and Data
Book for the City of Jacksonville. These books deal with land use, economy, tran s
portation history of the community and with population. Mr. Randal brought a
map for land use, major streets and community facilities for Jacksonville. One
thing this map cannot show is the timing element. That is up to the Planning Comm.
and the City Council. Over a period of time, the city's growth has extended west-
ward as utilitys became available, and there has been a seperation from the central
business district . Discussion on city's growth ensued.
Comm. White stated this plan was a guide to go by and adhear to as much as possible,
but it also needs to be fle xible. Some areas may never develope or it may not be
feasible to develop them.
PUBLIC HEARING: 8:00 P.M.
REZONING: TRACT A -FROM R-0 TO C-3; TRACT B -FROM R-0 TO C-3; TRACT C -FROM
R-0 TO R-3/GENERAL LOCATION: GENERAL SAMUELS AND HWY. 107:
Tract A is approximately 2 acres located across General Samuels Road on the west
side of Hwy. 107. Mr. Ben Rice, representing owner, stated owner would like to
place a service station/convenient store on 1/2 the property. Because of the heavy
traffic at the intersection of General Samuels and Hwy. 107, he feels there is 1
enough traffic to support the store .
Comm. Gray asked what utilities were out in : that area. Mr. Rice said Arkla Gas has
lines there, the water dept. has lines within 400' to 500' of tract A; and First
Electric Coop has power lines out ~here . As the residents have done with sewer, the
store will probably have to install a septic tank.

PA_GE TWO MARCH 8, 1982
Tommy Bond, Bond Engineers, i.ntroduced Claude Brazil. Tommy said he worked with
Mr. Brazil on developing a plan for this property.
Mr. Brazil said General Samuels would be a major thoroughfare and it would not be ~
reasonable to plan one family housing at that intersection. Jnstead, use a neigh-1
borhood commercial layout with tract A, at the corner of General Samuels and Hwy.
107 (tract B) to be commercial, and suggest a 5 acre (tract C) multi-family project
tentative as a buffer zone between R-1 residential and commercial zoning.
Comments from the floor:
Don Presley, resident of Jackson Heights; is concerned with what the plans are for
tract C.
Mr. Rice replied he did not have any plans at this time. They would probably depend
on what the market conditions were at the time I wanted to develope the area. He
said it would not be something detrimenta 1. (Mr. Rice owns tract B and C.)
Hugh McDougal, was concerned about the safety factor with the street and multi-
family housing would be increased people. City Eng. Owens ;said there will be some
problems but there will be major thoroughfare improvements in the future.
Comm. Gray asked what was being planned for tract B. Mr. Rice stated he did not have
any plans for this property at this time.
Wayne Tucker, resident of Jackson Heights; asked if city sewer would be in this sub-
division in the future? Mr. Rice said EPA has not approved sewer lines to the sub--
division. He recommended the residents of Jackson Heights be present at the public
hearings for the sewer rate increase/1 percent county wide sales tax usage scheduled
for March 15 and 16, to ask for a portion of the sales tax money to get city sewer
out there.
Alderman Mike Abdin, resident of Jackson Heights; stated he would support using a
portion of the sales tax money to be spent to get sewer to the subdivision.

Mr. Rice told the commission the property was annexed to the city and would be
applicable under 18.81.020 of Jacksonville Municipal Code. Comm. White he under-
stood both sides, but felt it would be best to add additional time on this last
tract.
Comm. Gray moved, seconded by Comm. Friedman, to deny rezoning on tract C. (No vote
was taken) After more discussion, Mr. Rice asked that this be held in abeyance
until such time as he would have a plan for the property. Both parties withdrew

1. Street rights-of-way within the subdivision to be 40 feet in width in
1:ieu of the required 50 feet minimum:
2. One and One-half inch hot mix overlay on existing asphalt surface and no

REZONING REQUEST: 214 MILITARY RD., from R-1 to C-2. DAY CARE CENTER
Mr. Francis Brown, Petitioner, passed out a Certificate of Survey on said
property bearing the legal description and proposed intentions for the same
to the Commissioners.
Mr. Betts instructed those interested citizens in this item of business as to
how the public hearing should be conducted.
Mr. Betts recognized Bill Owens who presented the rezoning request of Mr. &
Mrs. Francis Brown. He related that some time in the future Mrs. Brown plans to
build a Day Care Center to be located on the east 60' of the legally described
property before the council. He said that he did discuss with her what would
need to be done to the trailer, which th~ Brown's had mbved .onto ~ portion of
the property located on Military Rd., unrelated to the Day Care Center request,
so it would no longer be classified as a mobile home.
Mr. Betts made reference to a copy of a letter dated June 14, 1982, from Mr.
& Mrs. Brown in which they stated: 11 This is to affirm that we are in agreement
to make the mobile home to which we have permits for a permanent structure''.
Mr. Owens stated that technically, they did not have the one permit needed; that
being a building permit. He said that if the request for a building permit had
been made, it would not have been denied. He said that he f~lt they had tried to
comply with the regulations of the city so far.
Mr. Brown stated that he proposed to leave the mobile home on the middle lot as
sketched on the Certificate of Survey, but with the improvements that will comply
to make it a permanent strutture. He also stated that the Mobile home has nothing
to do with the Day Care Center, which will be on the east 60' of said property.
He said as soon as possible he would make the improvements on the Mobile home;
hopefully within the next few months.
It was noted that Winrock, Woodbriar developer, owns a commercially zoned (C-2)
property adjoining Mr. Brown's property.
Mr. Brown stated that he planned a permanent structure for the Day Care Center.
At this point Mr. Betts recognized Mr. Vince Winegardner, homeowner at #9 Collins
Rd., Woodbriar Subdivision, spokesman for Woodbriar Homeowners Association
(proposed), who submitted a written statement regarding the position of said
homeowners in opposition to the mobile home located at 214 Military Rd.
Mr. Betts stated at this point that the purpose of the Public Hearing was to
discuss the rezoning of the east 60' of the Brown's property without regard to
the mobile home.

Commissioner White made comment about Savers and their injection ·of different
zoning requests in the Stonewall Subdivision, some single family, some multi-' ·I
family and some commercial.
At this point Bill Owens, City Engineer, made the point that if the Browns had
come in and asked for a building permit, making the structural improvements
necessary, making it a permanent structure, he would have given one. He said
that a plot plan had not been submitted to his office requesting such a permit.
Mr. Brown informed the Commission of his plans to make Jacksonville his home and
of his intention to build a 2300 sq. ft. house on a part of his property located

Steve Berkshire, a property owner at #4 Raccoon Court, said there
seemed to be a conflict as to whether or not the area under ques-
tion is in Northlake.
Spokesmen for the property owners were namely Greg Smith, a proper-
ty owner at 120 Kodiak and Linda Laney a property owner at 520
Ricky Raccoon. Mrs . Laney said that a portion of Oneida Street,
Phase III is recorded as Mr. Smith presented a copy of said record.
Mr. Bond acknowledged correction of the two (2) lots in Phase III
on Oneida as being under the Bill of Assurance for Northlake.
With regard to a Preliminary Plat, he said approval was only good
for one year.
Linda Laney stated that she is opposed to the building of the
condominiums because of possible loss in property value to home
owners in the area. She said that eighty-five (85) property owners
had signed a petition in opposition to the rezoning of the area.
Mr. Greg Smith stated that the difference in the standards of R-0
and R-5 with reference to building is great and he felt would lower
the present status of housing in the area. He noted the difference
in parking fbr the R-5 housing as well as being one parking space
per unit.
Mr. Amos Smith of 113 Ricky Raccoon, a property owner, said that he
was told by A. C. Garrison the builder of his home that a swimming
pool and lake would be provided for the home owners which has not
been done. He said that the rezoning of the area would cost him
ten (10) to --fifteen (15)· thousand dollars within a two (2) year
period.
Adrian Brietzke, a homeowner, said she had personnally tried to
contact Mr. Dupree with regard to meetings of the Northlake Pro;._
perty Owners Association and there had been no response from him.
Commissioner Gray gave an opinion on the devaluation of property
stating that a condominium does not necessarily devaluate property ,
•.'
Mr. Betts stated that the opinion rendered by Mr. Gray was valid
and made reference to an instance known to him concerning town
house type properties that would definitely not lower ~ther pro-
perty values. Mr. Betts also stated, with regard to increased
traffic, that it would carefully be taken into consideration by the
Commission.
There was discussion with regard to drainage which Mr. Owens, City
Engineer, said he would definitely study.

POLICE & COURTS BUILDING, W. MAIN
Mr. Bond stated that the total rezoning request covers fifteen
(15) acres.
Commissioner Gray asked about codes with regard to rezoning more
than five (5) acres per request. It was noted by Mr. Bond that
this ruling was made when zero lot line housing was first consider-
ed by builders. Mr. Bond stated withdrawal of two -(2) lots on
Oneida from the rezoning request.
Commissioner Gray made mention of an Ordinance limiting the zero
lot line buildings to two hu n dred (200) feet and then a gap.
A discussion followed between Mr. Tommy Dupree and the Northlake
home owners. He explained his position as a developer with regard
to the economy and his desire to fulfill the desires of the home-
owners. He .commended the pride of the property owners in caring
for their area. He said d~e to the fault of no one things have
changed in the housing market making it impossible for new home
owners to pay $1,000.00 or more a month for a house payment. He
stated that as the reason for other types of housing.
City Engineer Owens wa~ asked if the City could legally issue a
buildirig permit in Phase III. His reply was that it could not.
Chairman Betts asked Mr. Bond about future access to the property.
Mr. Bond named possibl:~:l Elkhorn and Timberlake.
City Engineer Owens named Oneida as an arterial Street required
in the beginnihg of the subdivision with the potential of caring
for as many as five (5) thousand cars a day. He said there was
no problem with Redwing Road that it is a collector Street.
Mr. Marvin Faulkner of 520 Onieda pleaded with the ,C,ommission to
turn the rezoning request docwn.
Commissioner Gwatney stated that he felt that the intentions of
Mr. Dupree eight (8) years ago were for the best quality :Single
family development but tnat toe economy suco a~ i:t i.s l'la.s Q,l.tered those plans .
Chairman Betts stated that the decisions of the Commissioners
would certainly include a feeling of obligation to the property
owners but also, a consideration would be made to the developer ~
if he follows legal channels in making his requests to the Commis-
sion. He suggested to Mr. Bond that the rezoning request sh6uld
be withdrawn since it is in violation of a City Ordinance with
regard to the number of acres involved and that a new request be
submitted for the rezoning of five (5) acre tracts which will com-
ply with the Ordinance.
Mr. Bond withdrew the fifteen (15) qcre tract rezoning request.

the entire community.
Commissioner Wilkinson suggested that they get involved as a

MOBILE HOME UPDATE. City Engineer Owens suggested that it wait un-
til the next regular meeting.
At this time Commissioner Friedman posed a question concerning a
driveway on 161 with regard to a duplex built by E. Ray Smith.
City Engineer Owens stated that the Street & Engineering Committee
had granted access to Mr. Smith and that a record of minutes of said
meeting granting the request by Mr. E. Ray Smith had been presented
to the City Council in a regular Agenda packet of July 15, 1982.
A discussion followed concerning the authority of such committees.

garding the traffic on existing roads in their area stating that he

Council representing No rthlake Homeowners was At torney Keith Vaughn.
There was a mome ntus delay due to Mr. Tommy Dupree propert y -owne~
making the rezoning request not being in the room.
Chairman Betts recognized Mr. Tommy Bond who pointed out to the Commis-
sion the five (5) acre tract for rezoning on a map. He s ~~ted that

At this time, the point that said item for ~ezoning could be legarly
discussed was varified by t h e City Attorney.
Mr. Bond -stated one basic difference with the zero lot line housing
is that there is no common area owned, that they are single family
hom~s. He said that similar housing, partially framed, is under con-
struction in the Timberidge area. He added that there we re no speci-
fics on what would be built on the tract up for rezoning but that
they would comply with R-5 regulations.

Commissioner Gray posed a question about going first to the
noithernmost five (5) acres with a rezoning requestr
Mr. Bond replied that economic feasibility determined the location
of the rezoning reques.t. He also stated that there. probably would
be other five (5) acre tract requests -made if th~ zero lot line
venture proves to be a success. He said that Timberiqge . was no·t
originally in the development of Northlake and was .zoned commercial
in the original planning scheme of Northlake for a neighborhood
shopping center. Planning Commission had rezoned Timberidge to R-5.
• • I '• ' ··' •
He made mention of some zero lot line housing on Loop Road in the
City and stated that they were not of the same quality anticipated
in the Northlake area. He also stated that the intent of the de-
veloper is r10t rental property but zero lo·t line homes for sale.
There was some discussion concerning the granting of building.per..:.
mits in Phase III 'in the Redwing Drive area due to some curb and
drainage work not qompleted to the City's satisfaction. City
Engineer Owens sta·ted that he has information from the contractor
on file from approximately a year and a half ago agreeing to com-
plete the work.
Mr. Bond made a point that sometimes a developer is blamed for ~orne
thing that he in good faith contracted with the contractor to do,
and the contractor does not live up to the agreement.
Comnissioner Gray replied that he felt the responsibility of the
developer i.s still there making reference to the one year quara.ntee
on a municipal contract. He stated that the Planning Commission is
charged in making .proper judgements concerning present and future
planning; .t-rying to allow for new things ·without get'ting .:i..n the
way of things already established. He said tha·t he felt that the
preliminary plat in this particular instance was a good one.
Mr. Bond making reference pointed out that at this time the zero
lot line seems to be a .viable concept making reference to housing
in the eighteen hundreds with twenty-five (25) ft. lot widths stat-
ing that it is an .old concept which is being revived.
Co~~issioner Gray asked whether or not there is control over a Bill
of Assurance by the Commission.
Mr. Bond stated the procedure of plat presentation to the Commission
thus: sketch plat, preliminary plat, final plat, and building per-
mits, not~ng that in this there are four (4) opportunities for'
review of what happens in an area.

Mr. Betts requested an answer concerning the Bill of Assurance.
Mr .• Bond stated .that he was not sure.
City Engineer Owens stated that .the Corrunission does in fact have
control over .the Bill of Assurance making not? of a fence asked
for by the Planning Commission in the Tim.beridge area which will
be reviewed before the final plat is approved. He said that the
county will not record a final plat without a Bill of Assurance.
It was noted that requests could be made with regard to a Bill of
Assurance in the preliminary plat stage.
Mr. Owens stated that inspection methods are better now with re-
gard to contrac-tors and developers. He said at the present time
a bond is not required but that a bondwill ,possibly be required
in the near future to assure·proper .performarice from -contractors
and developers with regard to city requirements.
He s ·tated that it is very hard to deal with a contractor after he
has been paid for a job.· At present he said that a bond is sup-
posed to be posted when the streets were not completed.
Mr. Bond stated with regard to possibly going to the far side of
the area with a five (5) acre tract rezoning request that the cost
of one thousand (1,000) ft. of street and utilities would have to
be taken into consideration.
Mr. Bond stated that the same type and quality of construction in
the Timberidge area is the intent for construction in the area up
for rezoning. He also. said that the approximate square · fOotage
of tho~e hOmes is 1,240 •• · -
Chairman Betts recognized Attorri~y Keith 'Vaughn, representing the
Northlake property owners, who stated that area was zoned for
single family detatched dwellings. He numbered the property mvners
as one hundred (100) a n d twenty (20). He made note that part. of
the appeal of the area ,was the single family detatched dwelling
aspect. He said .that the exc1usive listing agent for. the Dupree
Co., who sold the homes in Northlake used the single family detat-
ched dwelling aspect Ln selling the area to prospective buyers.
He noted the responsibility of the Planning Commission in providing
stability of land use, making ~.point of the desire of the land-
owners in a particular subdivision supporting a change in rezon-
ing. In this instance~ .he said, the property owners do not support
the change. He said that the property has been zoned R-0 for
five (5) years" He submitted a list of one hundred six (106)
signat~res representing eighty-nine (89) percent of the property
owners.

He stated that the property owners do not feel that there is no
need for R-5 zoning in the city but do question where it should
be located. He said that obvious objections in the Northlake area
are increased traffic and decrease in property value as well as
the minimum requirement of eight hundred{800) sq. ft. houses and
lot size of twenty (20) by eighty (80) ft. He expressed the de-
sire of the property owners that the developer follow thru on the
or·iginal plans for the subdivision. He stated that there are no
unsold hous e s in the subdivisione
He asked on behalf of the property owners that the request for re-
zoning be denied~
Mr. Vaughn stated that in a meeting .with Mr. Dupree and the pro-
perty owners recently a ' request was presented to him to wait and
see the resul'ts concerning sale of homes in the Timberidge pro-
ject before making the rezoning request to which he would not
agree.
It was stated that the minimum existing housing requirement for
single family dwelling homes in Northlake is fifteen hundred (1,:500)

REVIEW OF ORDINANCE 613 AND ORDINANCE 618
Chairman Betts recognized City Engineer Bill Owens who made re-
ference to information mailed to the Commissioners approximately
two weeks prior to this meeting. He stated that his position con-
cerning the particular dr i veway on Highway 161 which has prompted
the review of .said Ordinances has always been a negativ~ ohe. He
said that h is opposition and that of the Planning Commission was
overridden by a review committee set up by the Ordinance itself.·
He said the Committee had taken ~imilar action with regard to a re-
quest on February 8, 1982, by Savers Development Park .Ln waiving
some of the standards a s set up in the Ordinance. He mentioned
that he had talked with the Arkansas Highway Department with re-
gard to restrictions concerning driveways.
Mr. Owens stated that in the process of writing the Ordinance he
had contacted the city of Hot Springs for input and that on the
advice of the City Attorney Paul Groce the appeals procedure was
set up. He noted that on October 13, 1980 the Planning Commis-
sion recommended to the .City Council to approve the Ordinance and
that on November 11, 1980 the Council unan imously approved the
Ordinance.
He gave the order of events that led up to the granting of waivers
by the Street a n d Engineering Committee with regard to the reqqest
by E. Ray Smith concerning said driveway on Highw~y 161. He noted
that minutes of the meeting by the Street and Engineering Com..rnittee
were on the .Council agenda, and that on 7/16/82, permission to
build the driveway was gr~qted. ~
City Engineer Owens made reference to a list of standards requested
by Commissioner Friedman used· in determinations concerning decisions
" -; ~ . . .
of the Engineering . Dept;. He restated that he had denied the drive-
way request. He said that, in his opinion and that of the City
Attorney, the Ordinance ·had been followed.
Chairman Betts stated that the report he had requested Mr c · Owe n s
send ·to the Commissione:r:s concerning the order of events with
r.ealtion to the driveway were satisfactory. He made a request
that if there were no objections from the Planning Comm~ssion the
item be closed.
Commissioner Snethern at that point posed the question of who made
the final decision with regard to appeals.
Mr. Owens stated that the decision of the Street and Engineering
Committee was presented as information to the Planning Commission
that according to the Ordinance the Street and Engineering
Committee have the final decision. He said that he felt the
minutes of the Street and Engineering Committee should probably

have been pres~nted to the Council for approval instead of informa-
tion.
Commissioner White voiced that he was not aware of the Ordinance
and that he felt the Ordinances had not been properly codified.·
Mayor Reid explained that the ordinanc e s are updated on an annual
basis and the reason for delay in codification has been due to the
amount charged by the Municipal Leaque ·for said update.
Commissioner~ White asked if we could afford to be behi n.d with the
codification. He stated that he felt the Ordinances should be
updated at l .east· every six months.
Mayor Reid stated that the Ordinances are now being codified on
our computer and can be updated as they are passed with this
method. Mayor Reid stated that he would -accept -the responsibility
of ·the Ordinances not being updated at this time.
Commissioner White stated that he felt the Ordinance is bad in .
setting forth a two or three man corrunittee that can o v erride the
Planning Commission.
Chairman Betts stated that the committee is an appeals group.
Commissioner White stated that there seems to be a set of double
standards even in interpretation of the Ordinance -with reference ·
to standards used by the Engineering Department in making decisions
with regard to driveways and etc. He stated that he was not after
any individual in taking issue in the matter, just that he did
not see the point in passing ~nything as a Planning Commission
if a $Ub'-COrn:ffiittee could rescend or deviate f:r;om it. He stated
that he felt such c ommittees should be sub-servc:J.nt to the City
Council.
Mr. Snethern stated that his understanding was that after the Street
and Engineering Committee deals with an issue the next step is to
the City Council not the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Friedman stated that the driveway is illegal because
the Council has not accepted the report of the Street ~and Engineer-
ing Comrttittee.
Chaipman Betts said that he did not have a copy of the Ordinance
under discussion in his code book but that he had gone to City Hall
and read the Ordinance.
Commissioner White again stated that he did riot know the Ordinance
existed. He also said that he felt Chairman Betts should have made

the Ordinance known to the Commission to which Chairman Betts
replied that he had.
City Engineer Owens stated that he was not against an appeals
procedure because he felt there were some circumstances when you
cannot write rules and regulations to cover everything. He said
he respected the authority of the Street and Engineering Committee
even though he did not agree with them on this particular matter.
Mr. White stated that on March 8, 1982 information concerning the
decision of the Street and Engineering Committee was brought to
the Planning Commission by City Engineer Owens and denial of the
driveway was approved.
There was a discussion between Chairman Betts and Commissioner
White concerning interpretation of the Ordinance with regard to
the function of the Street and Engineering Committee in the setting
of standards and their relation to the Engineering Dept.
Mr. Owens stated that Ordinance 613 and 618 has nothing to do with
water and seW •2r requirements.
Commissioner White stated that it was his understanding that the
Council was responsible to the voters of the City of Jacksonville,
·that the Planning Commission was subject to the Council and that he
did not feel that the voters would be interested in a committee who
could override the -Planning Commission or the Council.
Mayor Reid stated that maybe the .. solution is that the Planning
Commission recommend to the Council to change the Ordinance which
he said the Council had passed as recommended by the Commission.
Chairman Betts stated that the Engineering Dept., members of the
Street and Engineering Committee as representatives from the Council
and a months review of the Ordinance by the Planning Commission
took place befDre the Ordinance was passed by the Council.
City Engineer Owens stated that
ing Co~~ittee should be voted on
the Ordinance was not that they
the decision of Street and Engineer-
by the council; that the intent in
override the governing bodies.
Co~~issioner McAlister made the point that in this instance the
Street and Engineering Committee has overridden the Planning Commis-
sion and the question · was raised as to why have a Planning Commis-
sion if such power rests in the committee.
Commissioner White said he did not think the action of the Street
and Engineering Committee was intentional with regard to the

to the Commission in violation of ethics, but that it had happen-
ed o
Commissioner Gwatney stated that he felt there had to be a point
of flexibility in the Commission in offering some type of ap-
peals process, and that approval or disapproval by the City Council
would complete the cycle of the appeal.
City Engineer Owens read from Ordinance 613, 12o24.030 thus:
"Any Owner wishing appeal from any part of these standards
may appear before the Street and Engineering Committee.
After hearing the testimony of the Owner and the City
Engineer, the Street and Engineering Committee may vote to
either grant or deny the request. The result of this vote
shall be reported to the City Council at their .next regular
meeting. The vote on any appeal is sustained when the
Street and Engineering Committee report is acaept.ed by the
City Council."
He stated that if a roll call vote had been taken concerning the
report of the Street and Engineering Committee with regard to the
driveway access onto Hwy. 161 there would not have been any pro-
blemQ
Commissioner Betts asked Alderman Knight what her feelings were
concerning the. information from the Street. and Engi.neering Commit-
tee in her Council Agenda. She stated that she -felt the informa-
tion was a part of a procedure with regard to the driveway. She .
said she felt the Committees were feasible and that approval or
disapproval of their dec"isions actually made the Council the appeals
authority, but that in this instance things got out of hand.
Commissioner Friedman posed a question to City Engineer Owens con-
cerning the report -of the Street and Engineering -Committee. He
stated that the problem of the driveway is that it is thirty (30)
ft. shy of being within the code and that there was no notification
in the minutes recommending that it be two-hundred and seventy (270)
ft. He read the four requirement which are as follows:
1. Culvert to be sized by Engineer.
2. Permit to be obtained from Arkansas Highway Dept.
3. Savers to build next entrance 300' from center line of
this driveway.
4. Design to be approved by City Engineer.
They also requested that Mr. Smith have in his lease agreement a
statement to the effect that tenants do not back out onto Highway

City Engineer Owens explained that at the time of the meeting
there was a drawing of the location of the driveway in ~elation to
the plat itself.
Commissioner Friedman stated that he felt that the Council should
have been made aware of the thirty (30) ft. w~er.
There was some discussion regarding committee reports going back
to the body setting them up and in what form they should be pre-
sented7 whether as an informatilon item or an item of approval or
disapprovalo A consensus was reached that the procedure on this
particular Ordinance had broken down.
City Engineer Owens stated that placing the item of the driveway
on the Agenda as information only was a mistake, and that from
now on such reports will be voted on.
Chairman Betts noted that there may not be court action with re-
gard to the driveway due to the fact that the majority of the
Council may agree with the decision o£ the Street and Engineering
Committee.
At this point Mayor Reid stated that he would put the repcrt of the
Street and Engineering Committee on the Council Agenda for their
approval or disapproval.
Commissioner White restated that he felt there should be clarifica-
tion concerning the authority of committees· over governing bodies
so the same thing that has happened again. He also said that
he felt the Planning Commission was not needed if such committees
could override anything the Commission does. With regard to Ordi-
n~nces he said that it was his understanding that when a minimum
was set, that it had to be met, unless there was an ammendment to
the Ordinance by the Council. He noted that there have been sub-
dividers over the years who have spent thousands of dollars com~
pl'ying with the Ordinances who have contacted him concerning this
particular matter with questions as to why it was permitted.
City Engineer Owens stated that in the past there had been p-eople
who requested to develop houses by metes and bounds on undev:eloped
lots which requests were brought to the Planning Commission .and the
Commission approved it. He said that Mr., E., Ray Smith brought a
previous request of an unplatted piece of property before the Com-
mission containing three or four acres which showed the layout of
the lots at the time he built the first duplex. And due to the
fact that the property is unplatted each building permit is brought
J;.>efore the Planning Commission, he said, for approval or disapprovaL

He said that he would love for everything to be platted and the Ordinance
followed properly.
Alderman Knight made a point that she hoped the Planning Commission would
keep in mind in th~ future when frontage property is bought like in this
case from Savers, that access to the thru fare be reserved.
City Attorney Paul Groce stated that he didn 1 t like Ordinance 613 and 618
as it was and in his opinion they were circumventing the law, but later stated
he did not fe~l his opinion mattered and would like to withdraw it.
Commissioner Friedman stated that being the City Attorney of the City of
Jacksonville, his opinion was important.
Mr. Groce stated that he feels the city has been circumventing the law be-
cause of the way it goes about getting wavers.
City Attorney Paul Groce stated that in his opinion the Board of Adjustment
should have been meeting on a regular basis and reviewing the standards set
down by the Planning Commission and the City Council. He stated that there
must be an appeals procedure, also stating that he would be glad to rework the
Ordinance any way the Commission desires.
Commissioner Friedman moved, seconded by Commissioner Snethern to recommend to
the City Council that Ordinance 613 and 0rclinance 618 be referred to the City
Attorney for amendment or deletion to simplify or clarify appeal procedures
and standards. ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Howard, Gwatney, Wilkinson, Snethern,
White, Gray, McAlister and Fried~an voted AYE. NAY 0. MOTION CARRIED.
City Engineer Owens pointed out that there are many good aspects to the Ordinance
that should be retained in his opinion. He said that he felt that the only thing
that was lackiimg in this particular app~al procedure was the approval or dis-
approval of the City Council.
City Attorney Groce assured City Engineer Owens that the standards set up in
the Ordinances would be preserved. He also stated that he should have caught
the err@r at the Council in that the Ordinance requirement waB not met when the
report of the Street and Engineering Committee was presented as information only.
The Last item on the Agenda, ~ERO LOT LINE DISCUSSION; was omitted by common
consent of a l1 present.

DISCUSSION -ZERO LOT LINE HOUSING
Chairman Betts recognized City Engineer Bill Owens who commented on the
zero lot line developments in the city. He said that he wanted the Planning
Commission to be aware of some of the problems that have arisen in the zero
lot line areas. He metiil:!ioned three (3) developements, two (2) by Jim c'Peacdck
and one in Northlake. He stated that thus far there have been no problems
in the first development on Loop Rd., by Jim Peacock or the development in
Northlake. With the second development on Loop Road he said there had been
a problem on one (1) dea1. He said that when the development was subdivided
for zero lot 1 ine housiog, the developer came back and wanted to build regular
houses on the lots. In this one instance where there was five (5) ft. between
the houses, he said that he had required that a carport made of metal be put
on the lot Hne, _making the distance from one flamable material to the next
fifteen (15) ft. noting that he had talked to the Fire Chief concerning the
decision.

created. He said in the event the needs of the developer change there is a
need for reverting back.
City Engineer Owens asked that the Commission instruct him concerning future
problems similar in nature, adding that he would be glad to get with the Fire
Chief or bring each instance before the Commission.
Commissioner Gray gave a short summary of the first meeting of the committee
regarding mobile and modular homes , stating that the prupose and plan of what
the committee would be doing was discussed. He stated that the commmittee is made
up of four (4) City Council Memebers and the two members from the Commission.
He stated that he was hopeful to have information from Little Rock, North Little
Rock and other municipal bodies who have or are in the process of researching
similar problems, with possible feed back from an association connected with
mobile and modular homes.
General consensus of the Commission was that City Engineer Owens had made a
correct decision in this instance and requested that he require a five (5) ft.
set back or have the person or persons making a requ~st, appeal to the
Board of Adjustment for the granting of a waiver .
NON-AGENDA ITEM -STREET NAME CHANGE
City Engineer Owens stated that the Fire Chief had contacted him about the fact
of Jaxon and Jackson St., causing a iPJOSsirble conflict in an emergency situation.
He noted that zero lot line is being constructed on Jackson St., and explained
that Jaxon St., is in Sunnyside Addition. He read from the Code Book concern-
ing the requirement for changing the name of a street. He suggested that action
from the Planning Commission could go to the CHy Council for approval on
October 21, 1982, at the Regular Meeting according to the requirement from the
Jacksonville City Code. He stated that Jackson St., has been named only four (4)
or five (5) years, noting that it is the street behind Wendy 1 s Restuarant.
He said that the people who are buying the zero lot line property on the street
had made suggestions for a street name and the name agreeable to all was Burman.
Commissioner Friedman moved, seconded by Commissioner Gray to recommend to the
City Council that the name of Jackson Street be changed to Burman Street. ROLL
CALL: Commissioner: Howard, Gwatney, \~hite, Gray, Mclister and Fr!edman voted
AYE. MOTION CARRIED.
At this point Chairman Betts noted that the Chairman of the committee studying
Ordinance 613 and 618 has requested tha1t a member of the Planning Commission
work with the committee. He suggested, if there were no objections, that Commis-
sioner Howard work with them. There were no objections from the other Commissioners.
NON ..,.AGENDA ITEM -MOBILE HOME UP-DATE 214 MILITARY ROAD
Commissioner Friedman mentioned that City Engineer Owens was to give an .up-date
on the mobile home at 214 Military Road and due to the last two meetings being
1 engthy it had not as yet been given.
City Engineer Owens stated that the City Council had given permission to issue
a building permit to Mr. & Mrs. Francis Brown if the two parties in the lawsuit
could reach an agreement concerning modification of the mobile home.
He stated that he had been advised not to issue any building permits of like
nature until the ordinance is revised.

REGULAR MEETING -OCTOBER 11, 1982
7:38 P.M. -8:20P.M.
POLICE & COURTS BLDG. WEST MAIN
Commissioner Gray posed the question of assurance that the agreements by the ,
parties involved in the lawsuit would be carried out.
City Engineer Owens said that the building permit itself would state the
things agreed upon by the parties. He noted the certificate of occupancy
mentioned in the r~unicipal Code used in the process and also stated that the
last control the city has concerns the hook-up from Arkansas Power & Light
Co., which is called in from City Hall after the final inspection.
City Engineer Owens stated that parties are compelled to comply with what is
on the building permit regarding intent as listed, and the final inspection
would require that those things be met.
Commissioner Howard mentioned a call he had from a t1r. Carrol Hudson of 409
Graham Rd., cun c erning a mobile home trailer court. City Engineer Owens
said that it had never been an R-4 zone. He said that Mr. Hudson had been
before the Planning Commission and requested for permission to place the
mobile homes for a five (5) year period, adding that the five (5) years had
expired. He stated that Mr. Hudson will probably come before the Planning
Commission with a rezoning request.
Chairman Betts stated the area as being across from City Lumber Co.,
Commissioner White stated that the trailer park was there before the zoning,
noting that it was inherited as a non-conforming use. He stated that 'i:t was
protected by the Grandfather clause but that replacement of the mobile homes
may be questionable.
City Engineer Owens said that ifMr. Hudson brings a rezoning request to the
Planning Commission it will probably be for commercial zoning.
Commissioner ~ray moved, seconded by Commissioner Gwatney to adjourn. MOTION
CARRIED.

and e i gh t (8).
Area maps were studied by the Commissioners and consensus was
that even though the driveway did not comply with the Ordinance
governing driveways, that it would be an improvement over the
two driveways now giving access to Humpty Dumpty Daycare Center.
Mr. Davis stated that he has put earnest money on lot eight (8)
to purchase -it if the driveway is pe il:tmi ted between lots seven (7)
and eight (8). · He said the distance between the driveways at p !3
present on his property is approximately seventy (7 Q} feet.
Approval of the ,driveway between lots seven (7) and e i ~h t (8)
would improve the driveway situation onto Highway 161 with reg'ard

to Humpty Dumpty Daycare Center he said and added that hewould
close the existing north driveway into the center.
It was noted by Chairman Betts · that '·placi-ng. the driveway between
lots seven (7) and eight (8) would requ ite a waiver with regard
to Ordinance 618 . He s .tated that original approval by the Plan--
ni D-g t Commission was for the driveway to be placed -between lots
six (6) and ~seven (7).
CommiSsioner Snethern moved, seconded by Commissioner Gray con-
tingent upon closing the existing north driveway into Humpty
Dumpty Daycare Center, to grant a waiver with ·regard to Savers
driveway appl!oving placement of said driveways between lots
sev·en (7) and eight (8). primarily to improve · the traffic si tua-
tion with regard to Humpty DumptyDaycare Center owned by Mr.
James Dav i s.
By a unanimous voice vote, the MOTION CARRIED.
Chairman Betts requested thatc±ty Engineer co6rdinate the pro-
ject carefully and submit a paragraph with regard to ·savers
Commercial Pi:nk and the subject of driveways.
"In order to fit the geometry of Saver's Commercial
.:.Park the .S treet & Engineering Committee and the -Plan-
ning Commission have been asked to waive certain
dimensional requirements of Ordinance #618. The over-
all purpose of this Ordinance was to restrict the ··
number of accesses from the point of passage forward.
Only two driveways hav·e been permitt-ed. Two-drive--
ways are ·the most allowable by this Ordinance in this
area. Ih addition an exi~ting d~iveway entrance has
··.-been closed in :order to help alleviat-e · traffic pro-
blems in this area. I believe addressing situations
like the above is the purpose of "Planning" and this
solution is a plus to the City."
